S’east Traders Disown Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu by IRIEBOY(m): 6:42am On Nov 25, 2015 |
Traders from the South-East geo-political zone have disowned the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and his cohorts in the pro- Biafran agitation. The traders under the auspices of ‘South East Markets Amalgamated Traders Association, in a statement made available to journalists in Awka on Tuesday, said traders in the area had nothing to do with the Movement for the Actualisation of Biafra and the Indigenous People of Biafra, headed by Kanu. The IPOB is a splinter group from MASSOB. The traders’ statement was signed by their President and the Secretary, Okwudili Ezenwankwo and Temple Udeh respectively. They said that their position on the issue had become necessary because of frequent calls by the secessionist groups for closure of markets in the area, stressing that the public could be deceived by such calls into believing that traders were involved in the lawless struggle. The statement read, “We are constrained to react to the continuous calls for close of businesses in the zone in protest and solidarity for Biafra. “Traders in the South-East wish to dissociate ourselves from MASSOB and IPOB. We have nothing to do whatsoever with these lawless groups. “The difficulties and hardship, which traders and residents in general suffer during these protests, had made the traders to react to the situation and the development and make its position very clear and unambiguous. “The invasion of markets and other business outfits and the destruction of property of individuals like shops and vehicles in the name of pro-Biafra protest is not only condemnable but unacceptable. “We are yet to understand the wisdom in the protest where the properties and other valuables and belongings of the Igbo are either vandalised or destroyed by fellow Igbo in the name of Pro-Biafra protest. “The hardship, which the Igbo that relocated from the North-East in the wake of Boko Haram insurgency are passing through, is still staring every right thinking Igbo man in the face, yet the Pro-Biafra groups are calling other Igbo doing their businesses in other parts of Nigeria to relocate to the South-East. This doesn’t make any sense. “No particular zone in this country is an island and none can successfully develop without inter-relationship with the others. .“Times are hard and the traders condemn, in strong terms, any action, by any group or individual, that will further aggravate the already very difficult times experienced by traders in this area. “The traders are totally not in support of any protest that will further adversely affect the people of the South-East. “We want to state clearly that traders in the South East are solidly in support of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.” The statement stressed that “traders in the zone shall not support any action that will aggravate the hardship already being experienced by Nigerians”. They appealed to the President to address the issue of dilapidated federal infrastructure in the South East, particularly the federal roads in the zone, which they described as death traps. They listed the bad roads in the zone to include the Enugu Onitsha Expressway, Enugu¬Abakaliki Expressway, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Aba-Owerri Road and Owerri-Port Harcourt Road. www.punchng.com/seast-traders-disown-biafra-nnamdi-kanu/ |

For how long will the Federal government continue to be bribing factions in the SE to talk against the biafrans agitations, them go soon tire by time they realize that this time around no going back. I thought they said Biafra is just a mirage while running up and down looking for who to bribe in South east to talk against Biafra. One thing some factions leaching from this cespit country don't know is that,, ,, ,, an IGBO man is the most patient human you can find anywhere in the world but when that patients is taking for granted for too long and he he losses it and points at something he wants, be you what you are nothing can ever stop him from ever getting that he want... . You see this recent Biafra agitations, Mark it anywhere looms the balkanization of the country Nigeria. |

I am ibo and from Nnewi. I am ashamed of my ibo people. Nigerians should forgive us for our stupidity We are just sorry because we are jealous of Yorubas We wish we had an origin, history and culture like them. We must be less cowardly and brave like Yorubas who plan better. I say no to Biafra and I know we need Nigeria more than you need us. Please just allow us to be shouting Biafra of the Internet because we are jobless. Nairaland is all we have and even that is owned by a Yoruba man who is nice. We must stop Okija, ritual killings, Osu issue, fraud, fake spare-parts etc We know without you we cannot survive that is why we run to your land Our shame and hopelessness in the face of your superiority is terrible. Even Ijaws are now our bosses and we have been reduced to goats. Chukwu Abiama o....... Biafra...land of the rising sun..... iPOD youth...... |

1shortblackboy: Once you dont think like them, they will regard you an enemy. Wouldnt be suprised if the E-biafran members come here to disown the traders. I keep wondering the difference between ipob and boko haram. They both share a big similarity which is that anyone who doesnt believe in their cause is not part of them and is a threat to them 1 Like |

Now I see why people call yerubas lazy people; its only a lazy man that discusses the gain or losses of his fellow man,while poverty is dealing with him. |
