www.odogwublog.com reports that the
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra ( IPOB) has said that God is using
Northern youths to fast- track the actualisation of Biafra independence.
IPOB's
Media and Publicity Secretary , Emma Powerful who made the assertion
on the heels of the three months ultimatum given to Igbos living in
the North to quit said the action was a divine way of facilitating
Biafra.
Powerful in a press statement thanked Northern
youths for the quit notice which he said was an indication that every
tribe was tired of staying together in the forced marriage under the
guise of one Nigeria.
IPOB said the quit notice had
justified its agitation for self determination, saying that Nigeria as a
political entity has since expired and can no longer work.
"We
the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it's
leadership worldwide wish to sincerely thank the Arewa Elders
Forum(AEF), Arewa Youths and Arewa Consultative Forum for seeing sense
in what IPOB has been saying about the need for a referendum to be
conducted in Nigeria to decide the fate of the component ethnic
nationalities criminally lumped together by the British in 1914.
"Biafrans
in general also wish to thank these vocal Northerners for at least
having the courtesy to issue advance warning this time before embarking
on their routine massacre of Igbos and other Biafrans living in Northern
Nigeria; unlike what their fathers did in 1966 when death, destruction
and mayhem were unleashed upon unsuspecting innocent civilian
populations from the South comprising of mostly Igbo men, women and
children.
"Igbo massacres in
Northern Nigeria has occurred so many times that it has almost become
some sort of an annual sporting activity for blood thirsty Northern
youths. That is why we are particularly grateful to Arewa Youths and
Elders for having the decency to give us prior notice before the
slaughter commences."
IPOB urged Ndigbo and all Southerners living in the North to heed the ultimatum and avoid losing their hard earned fortunes.
"We
promise to adhere to your warning to leave Northern Nigeria because a
word is enough for the wise. Biafrans and other Southerner should start
packing their properties to come down to the South.
"We
also advise the Northern youths and their Elders to keep it on because
all they have done is exercise their right to free speech which is not a
crime under any law known to man. We are therefore against those
calling for the arrest of these Arewa Youths and their Elders."
IPOB
said Nigeria from every indication had proved unworkable, and urged
those who believe that Nigeria's unity is non-negotiable to have a
rethink.
"It is abundantly
evident from the genocidal statements coming from certain influential
segments of Northern Nigeria that the British socio-political
experimentation and economic fraud we know today as Nigeria, should not
have been created in the first place.
"IPOB
is very much aware of the covert blackmail and implied threat inherent
in the utterances emanating from Islamic Northern Nigeria."
On
the impact of a likely divided Nigeria on the economy of Biafrans
living outside their land, IPOB said economic interest of individuals
was not enough to scuttle the struggles for self rule.
"Furthermore,
the assumption that economic investments of Biafrans in the Northern
part of the contraption called Nigeria is an impediment to Biafra
restoration project is misguided and most definitely misplaced.
"This
is cheap blackmail designed to trigger rancour among Biafra populations
because the North have always assumed and wrongly too, that Igbos will
place economic well being over and above their life. This assumption is
based on a false premise and one we are determined to prove same as
events unfold in the coming weeks and months. "
IPOB
however, warned Northern youths never to attack Igbos living among them
or their business interest as they reserve the right of self defense.
"IPOB
under the divine leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the instrument
Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty) is using to restore Biafra, therefore
we are not afraid of our enemies, neither will any threat or violence
from any quarter deter us. We remain peaceful in our noble quest to
restore Biafra but we must caution that we always retain the right as a
people to defend ourselves should the need arise.
"The
civilised world is aware that we IPOB have been adopting peaceful means
to restore Biafra since 2014. It is the Arewa Islamic Northern Nigeria
dominated Army, Police, Navy and Civil Defence that has brought torture,
killings, massacres and mayhem to communities and populations in the
South. Till date, nobody has been held to account despite the existence
of a comprehensive Amnesty International report to this effect.
"We
are aware that these Northern youths and their sponsors Britain, have
perfected plans to begin another round of killing of innocent people as
the did in 1966. We advise them not to make this mistake because
Britain will no longer protect Islamic Northern Nigeria because in this
digital age, the world is watching. Allow Biafrans time to relocate
peacefully back to BIAFRALAND, that is all we ask."
