"We Can’t Be Calling Nigeria Zoo & Be Worse Than Nigeria" - Ex-IPOB Deputy

By Wisdom Nwedene

Former Deputy Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Mazi Uche Mefor has criticised the leadership style of the group's leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


IGBERE TV had reported that Mefor resigned as Kanu's Deputy after misunderstandings between the duo.

In a statement made available to IGBERE TV on Tuesday, Mefor said IPOB cannot be calling Nigeria zoo and turn around to be worse than Nigeria.

He further said that the IPOB's principle of command and control has been bastardized and there have been the tendency and disposition to tilt towards systemic favoritism and victimisation of the vulnerable by the principal officers in privileged positions.




According to him, "IPOB cannot be an all-out Igbo configuration contrary to what we preach that Biafra encompasses and includes in reality a true representation from all the component parts of Biafra (Ibibio, Igbo, Efik, Anang, Ijaw, Urhobo-Isoko-Igbanke, Igala etc) and of course the Middle Belt. These component part of Biafra must indeed and in fact be seen to be equal partners of the Biafra Restoration project and engaging directly at the decision-making level. There must be due and genuine consultation with our brothers in coastal region (or the Niger Delta region)."


The statement reads,


THE AUDACIOUS PRINCIPLE OF OUR REVOLUTION IS STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE DEFENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS,CIVIL LIBERTIES AND FREEDOM FREEDOMS OF ALL

Today, I renew these calls which are at the root cause of why I am being called names. Most of these have taken years of being raised in discussions, in writing and meetings but all fell on deaf ears or told that it was not yet time.

IPOB cannot be seen to be visibly going into armed struggle or openly advocating violence for obvious reasons.

IPOB cannot be run unilaterally. There must be a collegiate approach to decision-making because of our unique circumstances and complex nature of our Biafran society.
IPOB cannot be run as a dictatorship or in an autocratic manner. We cannot be calling Nigeria zoo and turn around to be worse than Nigeria.

The principle of command and control has been bastardized and there have been the tendency and disposition to tilt towards systemic favoritism and victimisation of the vulnerable by the principal officers in privileged positions.

The Directorate of state is NoT fit for purpose.The members of the Directorate of State are not advising the leader genuinely and conscientiously.These are responsible for problems in different families in Biafraland and around the world and formation of cabals and clannish mentality.

IPOB cannot be an all-out Igbo configuration contrary to what we preach that Biafra encompasses and includes in reality a true representation from all the component parts of Biafra (Ibibio, Igbo, Efik, Anang, Ijaw, Urhobo-Isoko-Igbanke, Igala etc) and of course the Middle Belt. These component part of Biafra must indeed and in fact be seen to be equal partners of the Biafra Restoration project and engaging directly at the decision-making level. There must be due and genuine consultation with our brothers in coastal region (or the Niger Delta region).

There must not be religious imposition on the people of Biafra nor discrimination along these lines.

Every focus and attention must be on the injured, the maimed and the families of our departed brethrens. We must not abandon them.

IPOB must have and maintain zero tolerance culture to discrimination and go against this those peddling fake news against the Biafra struggle.

IPOB must as a matter of organisational policy and responsibility go against gang-ups, cabals, blackmail and lies directed against innocent people in order to demonise, sanction and ultimately remove them.

IPOB must tell the people and be clear its political position. We cannot preach that we do not have anything to do with politics and turn around to meeting politicians behind the scenes either directly or by proxy.The truth is that at the right time, Biafra agitators must be at the centre of decision-making(with reference to the effective government criteria of the Montevideo Declaration among others) in Biafraland (not in Nigeria) either directly or indirectly for Biafra to be restored.This is a requirement of international law from or of us.

If these are why I will continue to called saboteur and traitor, then so be it but all must be sure that I will definitely defend myself.

STAY WITH IGBERE TV. AFRICA'S NO1 COMMUNITY TV.

Lolzzz.. If the igbos are valueless then why crying like a lost puppy,
Igbo r valuess but just one single Southeast gov changed party you all have been crying from pillar to post..

Igbos r less patrotic Nigerians.. But they are all over the country going about there business, paying taxes, building markets etc..

If there Valueless why fight sooooo harrdd just to keep them within the confines of this republic?

And your talking about progessive politics?..

Politics of roundabouts is not progressive bro, politics of round pegs in square hole is not progressive politics.. Leading to the urge of secession by igbo just to champion there own course...

But i dont see you as a political sophisticated fellow.. From your writeup,
Your a tribal bigot, who is sooo pained by the subtle wailings from your region

humilitypays:
its madness na!

OBJ left Presidency in 2009!

Osinbajo will leave Presidency in 2023!


And Yorubas still want to produce President in 2023 based on zoning, which zoning Northeast and Southeast are the only Zones that have not produced President since 1970, it is their turn if you must talk about zoning.



Do they think Northerners are fools just because they rear cow

enyi1:
U all will be shocked! Your elders already know that the ground have shifted and SW have lost out. It's not by shouting

Jagznation:
The fear of Southeast is the beginning of wisdom

Ladies and Gentlemen of this great Forum, I except Tribalist to hijack this thread because it doesn't suit them

South easterners have always been very peaceful people, they don't like Trouble, they'll only retaliate when you come into their space and cause disruption
Its either the Federal Govt is trying to disrupt the region by sending military or its Herdsmen causing Havoc.. Do they now have them all. With all due respect nothing but coward ness.

A South easterner cannot come into other region and cause trouble, no !! Its only when you step on their Toes they tend to react
Because an average Igbo man just want to hustle and make his money and be left the fvck alone!! No hassles.
I know I speak on behalf of a whole lot of easterners here

Take a look at the protest.. It has been some what peaceful
Only the policemen and military are the ones causing havoc

The truth is IGBO people don't really give a shiit about the presidency
We just want Good governance, basic amenities in the south east and no sidelining/Marginalization

Thank You have a wonderful day!!

Only positive comments are welcomed

After Lagos, no SW state is better than Imo, Anambra, Abia and Enugu. I have lived extensively in both worlds and can categorically tell.

Common get out of this forum. Who provided you silly tribal bigot with the information Yoruba! When Artum Nzeribe supported the military against June 12 it was the same Yoruba abi. Mumu they smell!! Rather than for you to stay focused you decided to buy into the politician ethnic divide and rule trick

Zooposki:
All Yorubas care about is the presidency. Mumu people. They want to foist that old analog relic that stays in bourdillion on the rest of Nigerians. #EndTinubuPresidencyAmbitions. We don’t want a dinosaur ruling over us again.

pupsyd:
Buhari is a Fulani man so see well next time

We move!

Ikengawo:
The worst part is the north's power is only in their head. They're members of PDP and APC the way they themselves are members, but the southerners first instinct is to bow. Look at how Tinubu handed Buhari all of this life's work for nothing. Meanwhile CPC controlled 1 state and ACN controlled 1 region (which included Lagos).

It's insane. The only southerner that knows their value is Wike.

Jombojombo:
What a touching story. This country can never be one!

Why do Yorubas hate Igbos this much??

gidgiddy:
What Ojukwu foresaw more than 50 years ago, some people are just starting to see now

Mtcheeew!

Davash222:
We will soon launch Yoruba Radio Biafra.

gidgiddy:
Oduduwa Republic protest is just starting. We will see if you still care about insults in a few months time when the Police, Army and DSS will descend on Oduduwa protesters. We will see if you care so much about insults when you see pictures and videos of Oduduwa protesters being shot, killed and detained by the armed forces of Nigeria just for exercising their constitutional right to protest.

Thats when we will know if the people in this video will still be using calm language they are using now.

There is an Igbo saying that someone who listens to the sweet crunchy sound of bitter Kola being eaten never knows that the taste is much different untill he eats it himself

AlfaSeltzer:
Because we are not zoo people.

Afamed:
The Hausa/ Fulani Are the Govs of Enugu and Abia states?
The problem of SE, is majorly you don't take responsibility for your own failure. You always hold another tribe/ region responsible for your failure

naira123:
This is not an insult: Never, I repeat Never trust a Yoruba person if you want to achieve a goal in life. They're very good at betraying......

loveth360:
What do you expect from people that can't rule themselves.

Give them Odudufraud and see them start fighting and killing themselves like they always before the almagamation of Nigeria.
The main reason they fight anything biafra.

Afamed:
Them go call the guy different names now for expressing his opinion.
In Biafra land only ,the run away coward diletor opinion matters most
