Biafra group insists on November 5 declaration

«§» 21 September 2012

The Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM) has restated its determination to go ahead with the November 5 declaration of a Republic of Biafra. It has also called on the Igbos and politicians from the South East to forget about the 2015 presidential bid as it would no longer be necessary. The group advised the apex Igbo socio-cultural Organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo to concentrate on how to recover Igbo territories ceded to Rivers, Delta and Kogi States rather than pursuing shadows.

National secretary of BZM Nweke M. Nweke told reporters in Enugu that as long as the BZM was concerned, the Ohanaeze members had not shown enough commitment to the interest of the Igbo ethnic nationality in Nigeria. Nweke expressed regrets that Ohanaeze could not take one stand on the continued relegation of the Igbo in Nigeria and had failed to unite the leaders in the zone for the people to make a political headway. “

They should drop this talk about the 2015 presidency and concentrate on how to reclaim our brothers and sisters in Rivers, Delta and Kogi states. “This is important now because these people that were enticed into believing that they are not Igbos will not forgive us in future when the chips are down.” The organization which has reserved November 5 for the re-declaration of the sovereign state of Biafra said there was no going back on that date.

He hinted that their leader, Mr. Ben Onwuka who is now in the United States canvassing for support, would be back soon for the “epoch making occasion.” It is the belief of the group that the United States must fully be involved for Biafra to be actualized.

The group’s leader while in the US, would liaise with United States-based Biafra groups such as Biafra Foundation and Biafra Government in Exile (BGI) on the November 5 re-declaration. The group praised the Nigerian security for the way they related with them, adding that that was informed by their matured approach to their cause.

I AM HEREIN APPEALING TO THE BIAFRA GROUP TO SERIOUSLY DIG DOWN INTO WHAT IT TAKES TO DECLARE INDEPENDENCE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT NIGERIA SEEMS TO BE MOVING IN A DIRECTION NOT ENCOURAGING TO MANY NIGERIANS; BREAKDOWN EVERYWHERE IN GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONARIES; UNEMPLOYMENT RATE HIGH; INSECURITY AND OTHERS ARE HIGHLIGHTED. AND YOUR RIGHT TO PURSUE WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN AS PEOPLE OR ETHNIC TRIBE IS OBSERVED.......GRANTED!

HOWEVER, I WOULD APPRECIATE HIGHLY IF YOUR GROUP COULD ADDRESS THE FOLLOWINGS ASSUMING BIAFRA IS INDEPENDENT TODAY:

 1) WHAT HAPPENS TO THE IGBO AND OTHERS AND THEIR PROPERTIES- SINCE THEY ARE     NOW FOREIGNERS IN THE LAND WHERE THEY OUNCE LIVED AS TRUE NIGERIANS?

 2) WHAT RESETTLEMENT PACKAGE DO YOU HAVE THE WOULD BE RETURNEES-WILL IT MATCH UP THE KIND OF INVESTS THESE PEOPLE HAVE IN
     IN NIGERIA?..I'M CONSIDERING INFRASTRUCTURES,INTER-MARRIAGES,JOBS,SCHOOLS. BUSINESSES.ETC.

PLEASE NOTE THAT NIGERIA WAS NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE! THE PROBLEMS THIS COUNTRY CAN BE AND WILL BE SOLVED OUNCE YOUR MIND IS MADE UP..........JUST REPLACE BIAFRA WITH THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. LOOK AGAIN,THE SOLUTIONS ARE NOT FAR FROM U.

ESCAPING FROM PROBLEM IS NEVER A SOLUTION....... IS THERE A PROBLEM-FREE NATION THAT U CAN SINGLE OUT?

3)WHAT ARE RESOURCES THE NEW BIAFRA CAN OFFER FOR HER PEOPLE?

AGAIN, I THINK THE ISSUE OF INDEPENDENT BIAFRA SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH HOW BIAFRA PEOPLE CAN HARNESS THEIR EFFORTS IN MAKING   NIGERIA A BETTER PLACE IN THE WORLD. PLEASE HELP TO BUILD NOT TO REMOVE ! IT'S MY PRAYERS THAT GOD LEADS ON THE RIGHT PATH.. ! THANKS
