MASSOB threatens on May 30th Biafran Day

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) have disassociated ourselves, movement and name from the purported celebration of 51 years anniversary of Biafra on May 22, 2018.
We can never change the ordinances of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the leader of Biafra nation. Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra with the total consent and full support of the elders and the people of Biafra on May 22, 1967.                              

                                 MASSOB have no intention or plan to observe our fatherland anniversary celebration on any other date except on May 30th because May 30th is sacrosanct and sacred to the history and lives of Biafra Republic. The ordinances of our great leader, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu must be jealousy and eloquently adhered to, any attempt to change it by disgruntled persons will be strictly resisted.                 

Though MASSOB understand that the leadership of Biafra Independence Movement (BIM) led by Ralph Uwazuruike were erroneously quoted as MASSOB, are planing to observe Biafra day on May 22nd instead of May 30th, this is deceiving, distorting and taunting of the sacred name of Biafra and astute disobedience to the ordinances of Our great leader, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. Any celebration on May 22nd is not Biafra day anniversary but memorial of hoisting of Biafra flag at Faulks road, Aba on May 22, 2000 which is now 18 years. There is a great difference between 51years and 18 years. All self acclaimed leaders of Biafra or Igbo nation who opposes or ignored or reduced or belittled Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu's ordinances or even outrightly subject or tries to change the orders of our great leader, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is an unrepentant enemy of Biafra and her statues.       

 MASSOB will observe the May 30th Biafra day in a unique form. There will be a candle night procession called holy vigil on the night of May 29th with a team of Christian clergymen coming from Europe, Igbo clergymen, Jewish priests from direct descendants of Gad, the 5th son of Israel and traditional Igbo native priests to celebrate with Biafrans on the night of the great Passover. On 30th May, the members of all pro Biafra groups and entire people of Biafra will converge in a stadium for the Biafra anniversary convention where two reputable professors from two highly respected high institutions will deliver speeches on Biafra and her glorifications.                                          

The May 30th anniversary convention will also attract notable Biafra leaders from Ikot Ekpene, Ijaw, Igbo and calabar. There shall be a special prayers and supplication for the fallen Biafra heroes during the Nigeria --Biafra war and our comrades that were killed by Nigeria security agents including the people of Biafra that died in the hands of Islamic Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen.

In spirit of brotherhood and Biafranism,   MASSOB will collaborate with other Pro Biafran groups that have unanimously agreed and resolved to jointly observe, commemorate and celebrate the 51 years anniversary of Biafra declaration by our foremost leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu on 30th May, 2018.                                    

There will be a candle night procession on the night of 29th May. The people of Biafra all over the world are enjoined to observe the candle night prayers in their respective homes if they can not participate in the holy procession. This year's anniversary will be celebrated by the people of Biafra not as a pro Biafra group, it is a mark of respect and honour to our father land, it is also a reminder to the visions and commandments of our great ancestors that we are not Nigerians but Biafrans. We enjoin our people to get ready for the celebration of  this great anniversary which we will hold to remind ourselves to continue the self determination movement for Biafra actualization and restoration.
