Here are five facts that
considerably stir doubts with
regards to the possibility of
attaining a sovereign Biafra
republic. 1. Too many hands spoil the
soup Initially, all that was known of the
quest for Biafra was a push by
the Movement for the
Actualisation of Sovereign State
of Biafra (MASSOB). There were several face-offs
between the pro-Biafra group and
the authorities. On one major
occasion, 16 members of the
group were killed, following a
combined raid involving the army, police and the SSS. In that particular raid at MASSOB
offices in the commercial city of
Onitsha, 83 members of the group were said to have
sustained bullet wounds, while
over 500 others were arrested. In a similar development, six
members of MASSOB were
sentenced to jail in Asaba for
wearing regalia of the defunct
Biafra and proclaiming to be members of the group. The Biafra push was very
powerful then, but one would
argue that the emergence of
pirate Radio Biafra broadcasts,
the Indigenous People Of Biafra..

2. Uwazuruike vs Kanu It is no more news that there is a rift between the various leaders of the diverse pro-Biafra groups. On Monday, November 30, MASSOB expelled its national leader Chief Ralph Uwazuruike. At a ceremony attended by national officers, including the zonal and regional administrators of the group, they inaugurated a new leadership for the Biafra movement. Chief Uwazuruike went on to create another faction known as the Biafra Independent Movement (BIM). After Uwazuruike created BIM, he went on to berate Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and the leader of the IPOB. The former MASSOB leader hinted on how he recruited Kanu in 1989 to head Radio Biafra. He also pointed out that there was a displaced liability in civil law. “I recruited Nnamdi Kanu in 1989, when I established Radio Biafra and appointed him the director of the establishment. He started preaching hatred and brainwashing the youths. MASSOB sacked him,

Uwazuruike said. The battle between Biafra leaders
is no new development, few
years ago, there was a similar
feud between the MASSOB and
the Biafra Zionist Movement
(BZM). The two pressure groups
championing the realization of the
'Biafra Republic' as of the time, traded words over which is truly
fighting the course. Some will argue saying "the more
the merrier", however, in the case
of Biafra, the more groups that
spring up by the day, the more
chances that Biafra might never
be actualized. Only recently, Uwazuruike lashed
out at Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB
for alleging that he was one of the
masked witnesses that will testify
against the pro-Biafra leader. The MASSOB founder said he
would not need to wear a mask if
he wanted to testify against Kanu. He described Kanu and IPOB members as fraudsters who are out to milk gullible people.IPOB on Thursday,January 12,

3. Igbos have no king There is a controversial adage
which states "Igbo enwe eze",
meaning that the Igbos have no
king. The controversy thereof,
stems from two major schools of
thought. While the first draws an inference
that the adage represents the
core life-style of the Igbo as a people without central leadership, the other debate that the adage
defies logic, in the sense that a
people cannot exist without a
leader. Some will debate that the
Biafrans have a leader in Nnamdi
Kanu who is currently being
detain by the Department of State
Services. However, with the internal tussle
for power experienced within the
Biafra camp, one cannot shy
away from the thought that
perhaps having a central
government might never be feasible for the Biafrans. Hence, it is not out of place to
say that if the people of Biafra
cannot organize themselves as to
be ruled by just one person, then
there will be so much obstacles in
the attainment of a sovereign state.

Perhaps, it is worthy to state that
the spirit of individualistic
independence, and self-reliance,
which is a dominant characteristic
of the Igbo people, might stop the
revival of Biafra. There is also the case of
saboteurs and sell-outs, not
forgetting that certain Igbos are
against the movement, while
others are just sitting on the
fence. It will be recalled that on Sunday,
April 26, Radio Biafra in a
Facebook post, released a
statement titled "Prominent Biafran Sabotuers Who Escaped
Justice". In that statement, the pro-Biafra
activists, affirmed and highlighted
the activities of certain Igbos
deemed to be infidels. Even the Imo state governor,
Rochas Okorocha, was not
spared, as the MASSOB termed him a saboteur, a title which they also labelled the apex Igbo group, Ohaneze Ndigbo.

4. Nigeria Playing Matured The federal government has
ensured that security operatives
act within the tenets of the
law. The FG has only issued
stern warnings to persons or groups who are planning to stage
protests in the country to do so
peacefully. But for a few protests which have gone sour, there have been little or no hostilities on the part of the
government regarding marches
by pro-Biafra groups. President Muhammadu Buhari
has condemned recent attacks
by the Biafran separatists, noting
that Nigerians have remained
united since independence. He stressed that the people’s resolve to remain united is ever
strong. Despite a thick presence of the
army in the southeast, the
Federal Government has tried to
be very careful in regards to its
dealings with pro-Biafra agitators. It would be noted that little or
nothing has been reported as
regards a clash within the region,
even as strict measures have
been taken by the army toi
ensure that the rights of the people are not infridged.

5. Much Haste Less Speed Some experts believe that the
agitation for Biafra is ill-timed,
especially not in this times when
the nation has just had a very
peaceful transition of the
government in May 2015, which has become a highpoint of
dialogue in the international circle. Far too much also plagues the
nation, hence the administration's
attention is way divided and the
agitation becomes yet another
aside. Certain moves made by the
separatists have been deem
desperate and highly detrimental.
Moves such as that by IPOB's
leader, Nnamdi Kanu, seeking to acquire weapons to fight Nigeria. It makes the Biafra course look
no different from the insurgent
Boko Haram sect, hence, giving
Biafrans a tag as "terrorists". No
sane thinking person wants to be
identified with terror. The incivility that has
characterized some protests by
the Biafra agitators also does not
go a long way in helping the
course, as many of the Igbo
elites have detached themselves from the agitations and the
hostilities

It is pertinent to stress that if the Igbo elites do not deem it fit to join the course, then the task to find Biafra will be too herculean. Some have argued that it was the lack of interest of Igbo elites was a key factor which caused Igbos the Biafra war in 1967. The world has gone past the era when bloodshed characterizes the drama of attaining a new country. The blood of the millions slain in the war between 1967 and 1970 is enough to redeem any course, hence Biafra must take a cue from countries like Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia and Montenegro. According to the Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS), a snap referendum is necessary for Biafra Republic. The OEAS has proffered a snap referendum, with OEAS, UNPO, and UN, EU and AU nonaligned observers supervising the balloting process. Ninety days have been stipulated for Nigeria to meet the demands of a snap referendum, one can only sit and watch how the drama plays out.

Shall Nigeria split, or remain one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity? The IPOB leader have asked the court to squash all the six count charges levelled against him by the Federal Government. Nnamdi Kanu who has been in detention for over a year now says all the accusations levelled against him are baseless. Keeping Kanu behind bars has no doubt agitated the IPOB group who are querulously demanding for the release of their leader. While Kanu's case might have been dragged for long, there are pointers showing why he may never be released despite the numerous trials he has faced. Nnamdi keeps complaining about the treatment he is being subjected to as he is held in detention; he said people who have made attempt to visit him in detention end up being harassed and arrested. Despite his bitterness about being held in detention and treated meanly, there are some indications that prove that he may never be released.
