MASSOB: Sen. Chukwumerije Faults S/court Ontreason Trial. by kenbee(f): 2:47am On Apr 30, 2013 |
LAGOS — Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, has described the recent Supreme Court ruling on the leader of Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, and six others as a reprimand against anyone who took the part of non-violence approach to issues. He also linked the difficulty at tackling the Boko Haram crisis to the absence of a patriotic civil society. Chukwumerije, who said this in Lagos, regretted that other groups that took up arms against the state were granted amnesty, while MASSOB leadership was being tried for treason, despite being non-violent His words: ‘’Let me first concede to the Supreme Court because in the wisdom of law, I am not supposed to comment on it, but I will see that judgment as a supreme irony on what is happening in the country today. I see it as a supreme reprimand of any protester who takes the part of peace and peace resolution. ‘’MASSOB had all its life been against the use of violence. And what it is getting in reward is to be charged for treason and other organisations from OPC, to the Niger Delta militants to the present Boko Haram are now being lionised and given amnesty and rewarded for taking up arms against the country.’’ ‘’I now see what is happening to MASSOB as a continuation of the civil war and discrimination against the Igbo, but I just want to state that when you continue cheating on people like this because you think they are down and out, you are creating a cesspool which would explode one day. It happened at the end of the first World War among the Germans.” ‘’When you talk about Boko Haram or any other terrorist organisation, they don’t come fro2m the moon. They live among people, so everybody knows everybody. Therefore, if you have a highly patriotic and civil society, you will be able to say that it is Mr A or Mr B that is behind it. But that population has been alienated and it is because of decades of misrule in the country.’’ http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/04/massob-sen-chukwumerije-faults-scourt-on-treason/ |

Emperor_007: I hope GEJ is aware that his enemies want to set him up. What are you talking about? How was GEJ setup? It was the judiciary that is creating the platform of mockery. In case you think otherwise, I am full patriot of the Biafran Nation. Nigeria was a mistake. |

I wish Igbo leaders can learn how to speak up in defense of their ethnic rather than running around abuja seeking for contract..... Maaze Uche Chukwumerije you have spoken well but that doesn't mean you different from your other igbo leaders counterparts....... What is Pius Anyim doing self? Is that man dump..... I hardly hear or read any tangible statement from him since he became Secretary of state. |

His words: ‘’Let me first concede to the Supreme Court because in the wisdom of law, I am not supposed to One is forced to ask this question , Does the Nigerian Judiciary , supreme court , chief justice of the Federation Know the actual meaning of Treason or treasonable felony. This is judicial ineptitude for heaven's sake. some of the definitions of treason are listed below for comparison Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aiding or involved by such an endeavor. One is again forced to inquire about the judiciary competence of the Nigerian chief judge whose only competence is that he has spent the longest time as a supreme court judge . What is MASSOB doing that the People of Scotland have not done or preparing to do or that the South Sudanese and the Former Soviet Republics did not do. MASSOB has not declared or levied war against the Nigerian Government MASSOB has not conspired or tried to conspire against the Nigerian Government MASSOB has not engaged in conduct that assists by any means whatever, with intent to assist, an enemy: at war with the Government, whether or not the existence of a state of war has been declared; and against the Nigerian Government |

MASSOB is a cancer that must be cut off, now that Ojukwu has returned to dust. The final blows will be struck. No more internal insurgency....we can't sit and watch another boko haram develop right under our noses. |

UncleJJ: MASSOB is a cancer that must be cut off, now that Ojukwu has returned to dust. The final blows will be struck. And what where you doing when Boko Haram was developing under jaw or was it under your armpit? And who told you that Biafra agitation is about insurgency |
