Why Igbo people are afraid of identifying with us – MASSOB

The members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) have pledged their lives for the secession of the Biafra Republic.

MASSOB insists that its mission to break the South-East from Nigeria was in the interest of the entirety of Ndigbo.

Director of Information, MASSOB,  Uchenna Madu, in an interview on Saturday, said there were several Igbo people who believed in MASSOB’s mission but would not identify with the group for fear of incarceration.

“We neither have the same vision nor have the same mission with Ohanaeze. Ohanaeze is more of a socio-cultural group agitating for Igbo interests in Nigeria; MASSOB is a revolutionary movement pushing for a separate state of Ndi’gbo.

“Not every Igbo man will identify with MASSOB openly because they are afraid that they may be arrested, thrown into prison or executed. But we, the die-hard, have prepared ourselves for such. Ohanaeze cannot allow its members to be thrown into prisons.

“The groups of Igbo in MASSOB are really willing to sacrifice their lives for the betterment of Ndi’gbo. Ohanaeze can never identify with Biafra; they are afraid of speaking out for Biafra.”

“We have seen several of that; it is no longer moving us; we are no longer afraid of arrests.

“One thing is certain, every Igbo man is a Biafran, even the governors, lawmakers and the ministers President Muhammadu Buhari is about to appoint are all Biafrans.

“Every Yoruba man is an Oduduwa man; every Hausa man is an Arewa man. But not every Igbo man can be in MASSOB; not every Yoruba man can be a member of the O’odua Peoples Congress; not every Hausa man is a Boko Haram member.”
