chuksme: I advise all Massob members to handle guns. Time has reached. no more peaceful demonstration. useless Nigeria police is using you people to show that they are working. Can they try these to Niger Delta guys or Boko boys. Because those guys are using gun and force.

Nigeria police hate peaceful movements and cannot stand violent guys. being peaceful will surely put you guys massob in danger. Please, my advice to you guys is to embrace gun.

Did they clash with policemen ?

akthedream: Well,MASSOAP are more matured terrorist(though the weakest) and need to be dealt with for their act of cowardice.

Jonathan should extend the statement of emergency to Anambra before this hoodlums get out of control !

oluamid: According to the constitution, It is a treasonable offence to want to divide the country whether by peaceful or forceful means, and because the Police is powerless against the Boko Haram, Ombatse, ND militants and other groups does not mean it should turn a blind eye.

The constitution gives everyone the right of association but it also give instances where this right won't be guaranteed. I subscribe to what someone posted above that 'Biafra' need not be a 'physical' entity. It could be what is used to unite the Igbo nation and ensured they have a unity of purpose in the Nigerian polity.

Nigeria is made up of different peoples and tribes and everyone of them feel aggrieved and marginalised. If anyone feels he dosent want to belong to 'Nigeria', there are lawful ways to make yourselves heard. Protests and demonstrations won't give you what you want, rather, it would unite the rest of the country against you.

IMHO, I think you should hold your House of Assembly representatives, Governors, and others in the corridors of power responsible. They ought to be the ones who ensure that the constitution is ammended to allow any part of the country to leave if they so wish. In this one thing they have failed woefully.

Alfa Seltzer: Is massob helping or harming Igbos? I have been asking myself this question for years and have come to the conclusion that they are harming us more than they are helping us. We need something that unites us, not a divisive, extortionist organisation that is barking without biting.

This group raised the hopes of all Igbos when it was formed. When Uwazuruike was arrested, the nation of Igboland stood up as one and protested and he was released. But over the years, apart from raising flags, releasing nonsense statements, disturbing peaceful fellow kinsmen and generally serving as shooting practice targets for nigerian armed forces, they have not done a single useful thing for Igboland.

It's time I stopped feeling sorry for them.

Emytex boy: i do not know what this massob leadetr is still waiting for!! lets declare war on them emmediately

Garri the 1st: These terrorists should be give the boko haram treatment

gbanikiti: and how are they terrorists? what crime did they commit for them to be treated like boko haram?

Alfa Seltzer:

Because when the bolded are typed, they know exactly who and what they are.

Dudu_Negro:

I dont like calling you ibo or igbo, i love to call you yan.mi.ri. now, type that in and see what happens.

ACM10:

I disagree with you. Nigeria is a signatory to the United Nations convention that guarantees right to self-determination. Insisting on locking in unhappy groups in the union will lead to a very violent breakup.

The way the Nigerian national assembly is structured is hostile to the separatist aspirations, but friendly to corruption. So don't put the blame on the political representatives.

mekaboy: Since they are jobless and have nothing to do with their life, let the police arrest them and shot them.

Bunch of touts, embarrassing ndi igbo in the name of MASSOB. What have they done to develop infrastructure in the east? So when the biafra is actualized what role will these touts play? "Governors, presidents or minister" ?.


These are the same people that will terrorize the citizens who have achieved something from Nigeria.

To me, I prefer BIAFRA as an ideology rather than a physical country. It should be a mentality that brings igbos together to help one another and develop the region.

A jobless person in Nigeria will still be jobless in biafra country. A broke person in Nigeria will be broke in biafra so what are they fighting for?
