Biafra already ordained by God, MASSOB replies Army chief Buratai
Comrade Uchenna Madu, the leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has fired back at he Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Yusuf Buratai saying the issue of Biafra has already been ordained by God.
The MASSOB leader was reacting to earlier comments made by Buratai who said the sovereign state of Biafra will never be realized as long as he remains the Army Chief or in another four millennia.
In a statement issued by the MASSOB leader, the comments of Buratai according to Madu were made to ostensibly please his paymasters who elevated him above his betters.

“We understand that when an unqualified and inexperienced person suddenly occupies an unqualified position through dubious means, tribal/ethnic interest or political settlement, he must do the biddings of his master, his overzealousness to satisfy his master will always overshadow him. This is case of Buhari’s military stooge called Buruatai”, the MASSOB leader said.
Madu said that the statement of Gen. Buruatai was the exact statements of the former leaders of Yugoslavia, USSR, Indonesia and Sudan and others who had failed to realise that only an oppressed people can determine whether they want to remain under an evil and unjust society or if they want to break away from such an evil system.
“So, we are not surprised by the statement of the likes of Buratai as it was the same arrogance which was exhibited by the leaders of Yugoslavia said before their country broke into six pieces which are today independent countries of Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina”, he added.

I have no words to trade with senseless aboki like you. You will be the ones to suffer it as you have no resources than your cows.

A Yoruba adage said “you don’t tell a child not to become leprous as long he can live alone in the bush “. So I wish the Biafrans well.

What biafrans fail to realize is that:
1. They are not ripe enough for pulling out as there are division amongst them.
2. The influential igbos and their political leaders don’t want to secede.
3. The Niger Delta region they think we follow them in 1967 so they can harness the crude oil wealth won’t follow them
4. They will be the one to suffer it most because they have no viable resources to Carter for themselves.
5. No international support or recognition for Biafra.
So I urge them to be part of Nigeria.

You think so? We have counted the cost and there is nothing to regret. No sufferness and mind you, we have international recognition. Coward useless Yorubas.

Madu should go to hell! That’s where he and his people fighting for Biafra belong, God didnt ordain any Biafra. Nigeria is the only land recognized by God, anyone fighting for Biafra is from the kingdom of hell.

Honestly, Nigerians are cowards, we leaving for Biafra will only bring more peace and allow the resources to go round and better distributed. If the Yorubas and Hausas are scared of what their land would become without the existence of Igbos, I’d advise they endure the hardship and relocate to Biafra after some years.

With love, we will accommodate them whenever they are ready to relocate to Biafra. These people known they are nothing without the existence of the Igbos, we love peace, the federal government should let us leave in peace.
