For the umpteenth time, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has again called on the United Nations (UN) to pass a resolution recognising the South- East of Nigeria as a State of Biafra.
According to The Sun, the organization said recognising Biafra would be in conformity with the recognition given the territory in the late 60s by some countries during her struggle for self-determination.
National Assistant Director of Information of the movement, Sunday Okereafor, in a statement, said the out come of the 2015 general elections in the country was nothing but a repeat of the 1960s in which two of the three major blocs in the country conspired against the South-East, culminating in the civil war that claimed the lives of many Igbo.
He stated that with the present political marriage between the North and South- West, Ndigbo had no place in the political arrangement of today’s Nigeria, emphasising that in the present circumstance, it would be expedient for the UN to recognize Biafra as a sovereign state.
Last week, the Ex-Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo had a private meeting with the leader of the MASSOB, Ralph Uwazurike at Buguma Toru LGA of Rivers State recently.
Also recently, MASSOB warned the former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, to desist from making derogatory statements about the late Biafran leader, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
The warning came after a statement by General Danjuma that Ojukwu could have averted the bloodbath in the Biafran war if he had given up following the fall of Enugu during the Nigerian civil war.
Meanwhile, during the electioneering period, the police in Imo state arrested members of MASSOB suspected to be in possession of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

Miscalculated, Expensive and forgotten agitation all we know President Goodluck Azikiwe Ebele Jonathan is not an Ndigbo only uses Azikiwe and Ebele to gain some political support or sympathy from Ndigbo people, whereas you fought the minority tribes of Niger delta tribes during the civil war it was the gallantry effort of Nigerian Soldiers that free them from your genocidal claws. if you people are yawning of either senate president or speakership of Reps. you don’t need to refresh any past mistakes because Nigerians are still patriotic and strong enough to defend her unity when the need arises and to withstand any dangerous dream. you selfishly put your eggs in one basket during the election now who to be blamed
