May 29, 2017 – “Biafra’s May 30 Stay At Home Order Can Lead To Another Civil War” – Igbo Group Warns Ndigbo Against Self Destruction
INM (The Igbos for Nigeria Movement) today released a press statement warning all Igbos to exercise caution with the Sit At Home order issued by groups agitating for Biafra’s rebirth.
In a statement released this morning, the National Leader of INM, Maxi Igwe Ifeanyi warned that the mistake some Igbo leaders made 50 years ago that led to civil war should be avoided at all costs.
The full statement reads;
So far it will be completely dificult for the IBOS to be granted BIAFRA and the same is applicable to the South South States especially the Ijaws clamouring for Niger Delata Republic because it will have an ethic outlook which the United Nations will not have an interest on it to instruct Nigeria Federal Government to conduct a plebicite on BIAFRA.
In todays world once you are racial you do not go far because of globalization.Only Ibos cannot get BIAFRA and same is application to the South South Ijaws clamouring for Niger Delta Republic.
Both must allign themselves together in the struggle to gain independence from Nigeria.It is a fact that other geopolitical zones in Nigeria refer to them as same people because they suffer the same politically,socially and economically in Nigeria.
At this point IPOB , MASSOB including the South South Coalition need to define the kind of structure the proposed BIAFRA FEDERATION or call it FEDERATED UNION OF BIAFRA will take.
Will the Proposed BIAFRA take the structure of UAE?
or Will it adopt system of BRITAIN?
or that of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
This point became very important because it is the major reason Nigeria is going backwords
instead of progressing Nigeria is Retrogressing because it lacks a very definied structure.
Therefore the proposed Biafra must aviod this pitfalls that has stagnated Nigeria.
Inorder to aviod Suspicion amongst the ethic nationalities that will form BIAFRA
Both sides must engage the Elites and Intelligensia of both sides in this proposal which will later be enlarged as a treaty and later send it to all the ethnic nationalities
of both the South East and South South for study after which they make their condemnation and recomendation where necessary in that draft treaty before it will be signed.
It is important to note that admission into BIAFRA will not be by force rather it will be by choice through a referendom by each ethnic nationality .Any ethic nationality thay is not interested will not be included in the proposed BIAFRA FEDERATION or call it FEDERATED UNION of BIAFRA.
This proposal will amongst other things include.
1.System of Government(Parliamentay or Presidential)democracy.
2.Issue of Citizenship and Identity.
2.Resource Control by Regions or Provinces In Biafra Federation or Federated Union of Biafra.Provincial and Regional autonomy as well as Local Government autonomy.
with a proposal for annual Federal tax of 20% to the center to be paid by each region or provience.
3.Security/Defence Structure as well as where will be the
proposed Captal of BIAFRA will it comprise the boundries of ABIA,AKWAIBOM,RIVERS,IMO,ANAMBRA AND DELTA STATES.?to give a sense of belonging to all the regions or provinces.
4.Judicial System.
5.Social and Cultural Integration.
6.Religion.
7.Economy and Financial System.
8.Education as a super Industry.
9.Industries ,commerce ,Infrastucture.
10.Immigration.
11.Taxation.
12.Customs and Exercise.
13.Health Insurance.
14.Social Security.
15.Membership with Ecowas and AU as well as United Nations.
16.International Trade.
17.Asset Sharing with the Nigerian State after succession and so many other topics
not included here.
18.Exit of a member of ethic Nationality or Region from Biafra.
The earlier the gathering takes place between the South South States and South East
the realization of Biafra will become a reality.Outside the BIAFRA dream will die a natural death because presently the whole noise about BIAFRA is not defined with the type of Structure it will take and that is why so many Elites and Intelligensia in the South East and South South States are indifferent in this BIAFRA struggle.
I OWE you drink
UN DECLARATION ON SELF DETERMINATION RECOGNIZED BIAFRA.GO AND RESEARCH ON THEIR CHARTER.YOU CANNOT WITHOLD OR DENY GROUPS THAT WANT TO GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS ESPECIALLY WITH LAID OUT PROBABLE CAUSE GOING THROUGH THE PROGROM IN THE 60S.SOUTH SUDAN IS THE NEWEST NATION NOW,SCOTLAND HAS CONTINUED THEIR QUEST TO LEAVE UK,BOSNIA,UKRAINE LEFT RUSSIA COMMUNISM.THE PROBABILITY IS THERE.
Almighty God let there be no war! if it ur will let it come to pass Amen.
Seen
if is true say kanu get liver make he print is own Biafra currency make we see
South Sudan is in serious political Crisis because there was not well arranged political struture before their seccession today what you get in south sudan is complete choas.
If Biafra do not have a well defined political structure it will be another somalia and Nigeria will have the biggest laugh.
Kanu and co must come up with a conviencing political structure which the proposed Biafra will take if not the whole struggle will be a waste of time because Both SouthEast and South South Elites and Intelligensia are still not interested in this whole Biafra struggle.Without the Elites and Intelligensia in support the Biafra struggle will fizzle out.
If President Buhari wants to put an end to curruption and the issue of this biafra seccession as well as insurgency in the niger delta he should as matter of urgency put an executive bill before the national assembly that will restructure nigeria which will usher in autonomy to
states and local governments in nigeria.
let the state governments pay tax yearly to the federal government.
federal govt will be incharge of the police,customs and immigration as well as the army ,navy and the airforce.
if the national assembly wants to play politics with it he can veto it with presidential fiat.
and those who does not like the presidential order can go to court and i can tell you federal govt will win in the courts uptill the supreme court.
this no dout will place president buhari like abraham lincon in nigeria history
and he will remain the best president nigeria has ever produced.with this move the
issues of biafra and insurgency in the niger delta will die a natural death without going to war.
