Edeson Online News learnt from reliable sources that Some Nigerian
football fans were on Saturday last week kicked out from a football
stadium in Senegal for displaying Biafran flags.The Biafran
agitators were embarrassed and kicked out of the stadium when they
displayed a secessionist Biafran flag during a football match between
Nigeria and Algeria in the ongoing U-23 Africa Cup of Nations holding in
Dakar, Senegal.
Edeson Online News gathered that the Senegalese
football authority ordered security officials to tear the Biafran
flags and posters and expelling the supporters involved. The Senegalese
football association officials considered the display of the Biafran
flags as “a militant act”.
The Senegalse football authority
action on the Biafran agitators is a clear indication that Pro-Biafran
protestants do not really know what they exactly want and do not know
who, where and how to channel their grievances to.
Despite all
the futile attempt by this minority group, a strong supporter of the
group, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, who is the leader of the Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has in a
surprise move, announced a new name, for the group. The Group is now
called Biafra Independent Movement, BIM. Uwairuike announced the name
change yesterday in a press conference in Owerri. He pointed out that
the name change was to rebrand the group as many people perceive MASSOB
as a terrorist group, BIM is better.
Uwazuike revealed that he
is not in alignment with Radio Biafra director, Nnamdi Kanu because
Nnamdi isn't portraying good image of Biafrans through his hate
broadcast, calling Nigeria a Zoo and fueling the mind of gullible Igbo
youths to embrace crime. He also revealed how he set up radio biafra in
1987, appointed Nnamdi Kanu as director of the station but sacked him
when he started broadcasting hate messages.
Against this
backdrop, it is right to say that all the Biafran groups are not
standing under the same umbrella. The MASSOB/BIM and IPOB are not in
good terms. What would become of the Biafran State if they eventually
get sovereignty? One thing the Igbo youths should know is that the
actualization of Biafra won't transform Igboland to paradise. There
will still be leadership crisis, more groups will emerge to claim
majority.
Ladies and gentle, lovers of Edeson Online News, Don't
you think IPOB and MASSOB or BIM should stop this age-long futile quest
of Biafra sovereignty? They are better off part of Nigeria. Even as
Chief Uwazuirike re-branded MASSOB to BIM, does it make any difference,
knowing the fact that what they stand for is not for good of the
Nigerian NATION.

@Endy,i
really think this Biafra thing is the height of foolishness... If and
only if they gain independence as they hope,do they think they would
last? Two points i would like to fish out 1. The land they wanna claim
is on the Nigerian soil,are they planning on getting away with our
land,i guess thats a joke,they better go get their land cos the Nigerian
map won't be changed bcos of them. 2. Talking about security,upkeep

@raji:
you are on point: the lives of the Igbos in other part of Nigeria will
be hard because they will be required to have complete papers to live in
Nigeria. Some of them will be deported back to Igbolands.I am begging
and i will continue to beg my Igbo friends on this forum to say no to
Biafra. it's for our own good
