MASSOB Has Outlived Its Usefulness- Comrade Agbaigba by Abagworo(m): 6:37am On Aug 13, 2013 |
Comrade Archiboy Agbaigba is the President of Oha Ukwa-Ngwa Congress in Abia State. He is also an Aba based civil rights activist. In this interview, he asserts among others that the Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has outlived its usefulness. Excerpts: What is your reaction to the recent assertions by MASSOB that the present Abia State government is a failure? It is very unfortunate that the group will come out now to reenact what they did last time, which affected our people negatively. MASSOB has outlived its usefulness, if there were any. Their sweeping criticism of the present government betrayed the facts on the ground. The level of development we are witnessing in Abia today is quite encouraging, It has never happened before in the history of the state. So for a group that is not known in the state to make such uninformed criticism smacks of mischief. Some insist that MASSOB is not entirely wrong in its. appraisal of the governor’s performance. Do you and your congress share the same feeling? They are wrong. Their criticisms are completely misplaced. Our people are scared of their true intention. They will not forget in a hurry how the same MASSOB scared Aba people away from the last census exercise. It was that singular antic that made our people, particularly the Ukwa-Ngwa people to be grossly undercounted during that exercise, so we cannot with all seriousness accept the MASSOB posturing again. They also did the same thing during the voters’ registration exercise stopping our people from registering to vote in the misguided fallacy that Biafra was going to be realized through the United Nations’ fiat. The irony is that MASSOB has suddenly found its voice when the state has zoned the 2015 governorship of the state to Ukwa-Ngwa in Abia South zone. Achievement of equity The zone has remained patient and God brought T.A Orji who has not hidden his avowed desire to achieve equity in the state to pronounce that the governorship is zoned to Abia South thus giving us the opportunity to produce the governor of the state for the first time in 2015. Now, MASSOB has suddenly woken up to champion Abia cause. What a lame cause. You did say that MASSOB’s scare mongering tactics have mostly robbed off on the people negatively. Can you expantiate further on this? Yes, MASSOB’s penchant for scare-mongering has robbed off negatively on Ndigbo in general, not only on our people. The last census exercise is a case in point, so their antics are no longer acceptable to us. They are a group for sale. They are being used to propagate mischief and we will not allow them to halt the pace of progress in Abia. But MASSOB claims to be agitating for the overall interest of the Igbo. Do you share a contrary view in the light of the prevailing circumstance? It is a false claim. Where are they in Abia? They are in Imo state not in Abia. Even in Imo what do they do apart from extorting money from hapless citizens in Okigwe? Can they point at any achievement on behalf of Ndigbo if not for their destabilizing tendencies. If they are genuine, honestly we will support their cause but minus the call for the Igbo not to be part of Nigeria. Their latest outburst is misplaced and has portrayed them as hired goons. We have not seen any good that MASSOB has done in all the years of agitation except sending our youths to avoidable death in the name of searching for Biafra. |

i totally agree with him, massob has not be helping matter in the quest of igbo contest. They always prevent any chances from which igbo voice could be heard loud, just as they did in 2006 census forgetting that politics is a game of number, how can they be seeking for independent without knowing that larger population can attract UN attention and consideration. That their 2006 census BOYCOTT policy really affected SE making it to be the region with least population in nigeria. Look at Aba and Onitsha which are densely populated had only 839000 and 548600 respectively simply because many people were not counted indicating that it was massob instructions. Please in this forthcoming 2016 population and housing census(PHC) igbos should come out enmass and support it for the benefit of all. |

MASSOB is more powerful than your state governments. Any attempt to kill and defunct MASSOB will drive the movement underground. That will carry a far reaching consequence for your land. Your best bet is to leave MASSOB alone until it outlives itself and the Biafran dream dies out completely from your political aspirations. One Nigeria, One Nation, death to MASSOB! |

This is hilarious! Abia state doesn't allow non-indigenes to participate in the Government. They have deported non-Abia indigenes from their state severally. Abia is famous throughout Nigeria, and even the SE, for being a failed state. Meanwhile, MASSOB (a separatist organization) is being chastised for mentioning the obvious and for finally facing their region. The entire SE is a circus! |

Somebody should really ask MASSOB why they live in an APC controlled state. Is it a more pleasant place to live? Is it better governed? Is it more peaceful? Is there less corruption? I would like an answer to these questions. |

MASSOB have lost their relevance and their initiatives. i doubt anyone is still obsessed with seceding in the east. people want a better life - basic amenities, quality health, food on their table and the best things in life. Biafra died and was buried since 1970. 1 Like |

Biafra died when the civil war ended. The second in command of the defunct biafra was an Efik man Phillip Effiong. Many tribes in the east supported biafra during the war. Many Igbos are now working for the progress of Nigeria. It is time to move on, one Nigeria! 1 Like |
