Biafra: Ijaw Youths Blast MASSOB For Including South-south In ‘territory’ by nicedas(m): 5:35pm On Jun 06, 2017
The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide, has lambasted the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) for claiming that the south-south region is part of the Biafra territory.

A statement issued on Tuesday and signed by IYC spokesman, Barr. Henry Iyalla, said the body’s attention was drawn to a statement credited to a MASSOB leader, Solomon Chukwu.

It noted that Chukwu declared that south-south will belong to Biafra which MASSOB, IPOB and other self-determination movements are agitating for.

Iyalla stated that while the Ijaw and Niger Delta people identifies with the Biafra struggle, “we wish to state clearly that the Ijaw and Niger Delta struggle for self-determination predates the Biafra agitations”.

“It is on record that even before the Biafra declaration of independence in 1967, Major Jasper Adaka Boro during the twelve days revolution declared a Niger- Delta Republic in 1966. This was before the advent and struggle for the actualization of Biafra.

“The Ijaw and Niger Delta people had always maintained separate and distinct identity from our Igbo brothers of the South East.

“While we share in the Biafra agitation for self-determination which is not in any way different from our agitation; we wish to clearly state that the Ijaw areas are not part and parcel of the territory of Biafra.

“We will collaborate with our south eastern, middle belt and any other minority groups in the quest for self-determination based on mutual respect and common understanding. In the coming days, we will start the constructive engagement on these terms”

Unlike the zoogerian cage, to be Biafran IS NOT BY FORCE. It is a priviledge.
That's why Biafra will work and nigeria CAN NEVER WORK.

Igbo unity beggars, hope you are seeing this?

Ijaw should in the same vein, stop including proud Igbo speaking groups like Enu ani, Oyigbo, Egbema and Isobo in their Niger Delta empire.

This attache by fire by force from the Ugwu republic is appalling and nauseating.
Prove to the whole world that you can go alone by desisting from attaching SS to your Biafrat.

good my brothers, i like this. I prefer to be with the igbos any day than the notherners cos i don't look like them in any way.

We Niger deltans are like cousins to the industrious and hardworking igbos. We will build a great country together

Like a bastard child of a whøre, everyone seems to be denying them.

The earlier they woke up to the fact this can only involve the five states dominated by igbos, the better for them.

Middle belt has rejected them. South South has rejected them; perhaps they should look to the West, you never know. wink

I cannot say that I blame the Ijaws from not taking nonsense from the ibos, afterall the ibos have been their slaves from time.... They sold them during the atlantic slave trade to the whiteman, sold them out during the biafran war and sold off their properties after the civil war. Heck even Jonathan became the messiah of the Ibos..... grin grin and now the ibos have been relegated into inconsequentiality and are doing by force attache..... grin grin...anyway let's watch this space as their masters have spoken.... grin

We all know and agree that biafra would be heaven on earth, the streets in biafra would be lined with diamonds and he people would develop wings to fly as opposed to walking which could be more stressful.

That is why the people of different regions are asking them to stop begging for unity and attaching themselves by force, let them enjoy their heaven ALONE! no one is "longthroating" their utopia.

But Biafra is the only one of the two that anyone is agitating for. How can anyone be talking about Niger Delta when there isnt even one single organisation agitating for it?

Also, the IYC can talk for Ijaws but not for other ethnic groups. The Solomon Chukwu they are talking about is an Ikwerre man

Don't mind the sensational headline. The IYC position is in sync with the way most Igbo see this struggle. We don't want a mini-Nigeria.

Good one by My Iyalla.
