The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday,warned traditional rulers in the south-east geopolitical zone to henceforth, jettison the idea of ofala celebrations and new yam festivals following their inability to demand the release of detained Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu and other pro-Biafran agitators who have been detained since October 10, last year.

MASSOB also revealed that it will call for a revolution in all Igbo communities if by December, Nnamdi Kanu was not released, adding that Ndigbo will not celebrate Christmas with Kanu still in detention.

The pro-Biafra group said the traditional rulers lost relevance when they failed to speak up for the release of their subjects in detention which includes; Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi, Innocent Orji, Sabastine Amadi and Benjamin Onwuka in prisons across the country.

It equally took a swipe at Igbo elites, religious leaders, politicians among others who they have labeled as insensitive to the Biafra struggle, wondering when Igbo will get personalities like; Senator Ali Ndume (Senate leader); Sultan of Sokoto and Emir of Kano; Senator Bola Tinubu and Gov Ayo Fayose who stand up for the struggle of their people.

An infuriated MASSOB warned the traditional rulers in a statement signed and made available to Vanguard by their leader Uchenna Madu,which read: ”Why must Igbo traditional rulers continue to celebrate Ofalas and new yam festivals while their Biafran subjects are still in detention for Igbo cause? We will stop these celebrations forthwith.

What are the religious leaders still preaching while our brethren are still in prisons? We demand that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and others will not spend Christmas in prisons again or an internal native revolution will start in Igboland. “MASSOB blasts Igbo religious, traditional, political and opinion leaders for their nonchalant and insensitive attitude concerning the plight of detained Biafra agitators in Nigeria prisons.

The non- violent struggle for Biafra is a reactionary revolution against the continued neglect, political injustices/imbalance of federal structures against Ndigbo by successive government of Nigeria since 1970. We are in this self determination struggle because of political, economical, academical and religious slavery which the government of Nigeria subjected Ndigbo into in Nigeria.

We and other genuine pro-Biafra groups are in the struggle because of the grand plan to islamize the people of Biafra with subtle and harsh economic policies. We are in the struggle to counter and correct the evil plot to enslave our children and their future. We are in the struggle to re-establish and revive the tenacity, economic independence and industrial nature of Ndigbo which astonished the world in 1950-70’s.

Truly, we are in the struggle to restore the dignity, culture and integrity of Ndigbo. “Majority of Igbo leaders have brazenly betrayed the Igbo cause and interest in Nigeria.” Ohaneze youths indict Igbo political leaders Equally, Ohaneze Youth Council, OYC, said that it would team up with Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, to sanitize Igbo land and punish Igbo politicians who have not done anything to improve the lives of Ndigbo.

OYC said that it was in agreement with MASSOB that most Igbo political actors have failed to put the interest of Ndigbo first in their actions and need to be called to order. The group said that they have started compiling names of those they would handle. A statement by OYC signed by Alex Okemiri said: “While there is obvious external marginalization of Ndigbo, there is also the internal marginalisation by our own people.

What do our governors do with the money that percolates to Igbo land? Most of them use it to buy lands, houses and choice properties all over the world. Some of them travel all over the world at every opportunity. They owe pensioners and workers for months . They do not care about the youths. “We are now compiling the list of such politicians and we shall hand over the list to MASSOB for proper sanction while we shall also carry out our own sanctions.

The categories are former governors, some former and serving senators, failed contractors, about 3 serving Igbo governors, former and serving ministers, former commissioners, and those who benefitted from Jonathan’s election funds. “Infact, if by December this year, such failed politicians fail to turn a new leaf, they will leave Igboland for us because we cannot tolerate such people in our midst again. They cannot stay in Igbo land and use our resources to better only their lives and the lives of their girlfriends and hangers on while their subjects suffer unduly. “Igbo contractors also given contracts in Igboland who fail to execute such contracts creditably will also face the music.”

hurray our director is one year old in kuje. We wish him happy 25 more years before he becomes the Mandela of our time

Are these not the crop of politicians that will rule biafra? I am not against having Igbo's their biafra, but the Igbo's should realize that their number one enemy are their appointed leaders who ought fight more for the igbo cause by supporting their seccession stance in the national assembly or form a political party to push their agenda. Instead of going through legitimate means, they followed Nnamdi kanu's path of hate and tribalism while ignoring their leaders who chose to steal their common wealth. Imo state is ruled by an igbo man yet pictures of garbage filled roads, several bad roads, and news of unpaid salaries are circulating the Internet. Can we say igbo leaders are also marginalizing Igbo's?

Every region in nigeria has the leadership problem and the reason the country remains under developed. The leaders are united in corruption and play the ethnic cards to further divide the masses against revolution. Whether it's oodua Republic, Biafra, Arewanistan or whatever, the problem remains finding sincere leaders who are visionary and understands what it takes to attain sustainable development. Not these pot bellied thieves we have in every region.

Make them chill

They should leave our yam for now

Rather they should try and stop all military activities

Over there.

Then I will take them serious

And so?

So you want to starve the kings from eating yam for the rest of the year? Even if they start from now till 2019 talking to bubu,d man won't hear nada. If he won't listen to Aisha, is not now the kings he'll listen to over Kanu's case?

Baby girl hi.

Your online writeup looks sexy.

Ariwo ko- Adekunle Gold.

You want to saboteur farmers economy and people right to hold their celebration

Hmmm. I think this revolution will be quite an interesting one. It will be the Igbo masses' quota in chasing corruption out of Igboland.


Meanwhile

Observing...........

MASSOB also revealed that it will call for arevolution in all Igbo communities if by
December, Nnamdi Kanu was not released,
adding that Ndigbo will not celebrate Christmas
with Kanu still in detention.

Yet another ULTIMATUM!!!

Massorp, abi na wassup sef, and iPod are both terrorist organisations and would sooner or later be branded and treated as such.

In other news, regarding gender equality, here's what a member of Enugu state house of assembly, Sunny Ude Okoye, has to say:

“HERE IS AFRICA AND
NOT AMERICA. IF ANYBODY
WANTED SUCH PRACTICE AS SUGGESTED IN
THE BILL, (equal opportunity for men and women) HE/SHE SHOULD GO TO AMERICA.

We and other genuine pro-Biafra groups are in the struggle because of the grand plan to islamize the people of Biafra with subtle and harsh economic policies.

Dementia reloaded!!

Their problem

Not mine

Maka why

Foolish people... Is Nnamdi Kanu detained here in South east?

As a true advocate for Biafra... I concur...
Nothing shld move or breathe in Biafra land until kanu, the coward, who lodges under a pseudonym, is released...

I dey cum

Good for them.

Massob vs igbo
Massob vs yoruba
Massob vs fulani
Massob vs hausa
Massob vs Niger Delta
what's wrong with Massob cuz they don want me to like them o.
Proudly igbo.

Hahaha. This is so funny. They now want to be like the yoruba they so hated.

I know not all igbos hate yoruba only these misguided idiots who don't even have support among their fellow igbos and some idiotas on Nairaland. They finally have been found out.

We Igbos should stop disgracing our tribe

supported no ofala if nnamdi kanu is nt release

It's clear from this where the problem lies.
That last paragraph though.

Whatever una do is una business

Why exactly are Yorubas carrying Igbo matter on head like Gala. Have they finished mourning Tinubu betrayal by their Afonjas?

The dilector cant be released anytime soon as he has to answer for his crimes against the Nigerian state. Also MASSOB has no right to disrupt any activities held by law abiding citizens anywhere in the southeast. Buratai's men still remember how to shoot

So now MASSOB realizes the trick? You don't go to fight external aggressors without first putting your house in order.

Rather than go about issuing silly illegal threats on Igbo political jobbers masquerading as leaders and their traditional lackeys, they can take control of the political destiny of Igboland, by floating a powerful political party, and Chase those political jobbers and their traditional lackeys away from positions of authority fair and square using the power of the polls.
If they put half of the strength they put on RB on marketing this their new political party and exposing the failure of political and traditional leadership in Igboland, and then spend 1/4 of the effort they spend on the street protests in monitoring the votes and making sure these political jobbers can't use Nigerian security personnels to rig the elections, they will ascend the throne of political leadership in Igboland and will then have the opportunity to usher in the economic and social control they currently desire in the region.

But the Irony is that the same MASSOB/IPOB youths are same people that during election days will be hired by political jobbers in Igboland for their rallies, campaign train and elections monitoring/ rigging.
You begin to wonder if they suffer from a form of cognitive dissonance.

MASSOB/IPOB can continue playing their hide and seek game, but it doesn't take a genius to see their cowardice in running away from a responsibility they must shoulder if they want to take their agenda to the next level.
