The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of
Biafra, MASSOB, has fried back at Northern youths over their recent call on the
United National to list the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB as a terrorist
group.
MASSOB said the group was made up of confused and
directionless people who were bereft of the meaning of terrorist and what
constituted terrorism.
The pro-Biafra group a statement by its National Director of
Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel said the Norther youths were limited by
their lack of education and therefore should not be blamed for not knowing the
difference between terrorist, terrorism and self determination.
He said, “These Northern youths who want United National to
list IPOB as a terrorist group are confused and directionless group who do not
know the meaning of terrorist and what constitutes terrorism.
“MASSOB will not blame them because they are limited by lack
of education as most of them are illiterates,uneducated and charlatans who did
not know the difference between terrorism and self determination.
“The Northern elites are using them to cause trouble because
they are desperate to control Nigeria by all means by using Northern youths to
intimidate Nigerians when they feel their hold on to power is threatened, and
these Northern group forgot that they have ruled Nigeria for 20years from 1979
to 1999, there was no complain from the Southern part of Nigeria.”
According to MASSOB, “the Northerners are to be blame for
crisis Nigeria, their believe in “born to rule has failed them,that is why they
are shouting and complaining creating confusion in the society.
“The Northern youth should have first of tell United Nations
to declare Fulani herdsmen who went about killing and raping women and
destroying people farm land as terrorists, these Northern youths are so blind
that they cannot see the havoc the brothers are doing communities in the name
of herdsmen.
“They want United Nation to label IPOB a terrorist
organization because they are seeking like other Biafra agitating groups for
self determination, when they use Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen to kill and
maim people and yet they have not been declared terrorists region. United
Nations is made up of enlightened and educated people, they cannot respond to
such laughable and unrealistic call because they know the meaning of what IPOB,
MASSOB and other Biafra agitating groups are doing.
“MASSOB is therefore warning Arewa elders and their youths
to mind their utterances because Ndigbo and Biafrans cannot be intimidated by
their antics of the people who have continued the set Nigeria back and yet they
want to hold on to power by all means.”
