THE Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has predicted the disintegration of Nigeria in 2013, saying that the six geopolitical zones of the country will become independent states.
MASSOB also insisted that despite contrary opinion, Biafran currency was still considered as legal tender in some neighbouring West African countries. The movement disclosed this through its Director, Mr. Uchenna Madu, in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune after it celebrated the 10th anniversary of what it called its struggles for self-determination.
Madu, who spoke with a team of Tribune reporters in Enugu, said the United States of America (USA) had already predicted the country’s disintegration, adding that this development would soon culminate in the deployment of 20,000 US soldiers to the Gulf of Guinea and the Niger Delta region.
“I am happy to tell you that, right now, Nigeria, as an entity, has collapsed. The United States of America, through its intelligence agency called Africom, has predicted that Nigeria would collapse before 2013. The USA is expected to send 20,000 soldiers to Biafraland (Gulf of Guinea) and the Niger Delta region to safeguard America’s oil interest and the people of Biafra from any possible attack by the Nigerian government. The first batch is already in the Niger Delta and Eastern part of Nigeria,” he said.
Madu explained that even the United Nations, on account of the numerous crises that Nigeria had faced in recent times, was aware of the development and that it would be ready to accept the outcome should the fate of the former USSR befall Nigeria.
“The entity, Nigeria, will split into six independent states. Each of the six geopolitical zones will become an independent state. It cannot be reversed because the United Nations has come to understand that Nigeria, as an entity, is a camouflage because of its numerous crises. The general clamour is that we are not one. What happened in the USSR will take place in Nigeria. Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa and others will emerge.”
The MASSOB chief also said contrary to the insinuations that Biafran currency was not being spent again, the money was still being spent in neighbouring West African countries. He said in the Eastern part of Nigeria, the reality on the ground was that two governments were in operation.
“Now, we have a de facto government in Biafra. We have appointed regional administrators numbering 40, who are equivalent to the serving civilian governors in the East. Each region has 30 directors in areas like agriculture, information, sports, finance, etc. We also have administrators, provisional administrators and district officers as well as commissioners and ward officers.
“Equally, we have national directors, who are equivalent to ministers. “With this on ground, we have two governments in Biafraland. One is representing the Republic of Nigeria and the other represents Biafra Republic. The Nigerian government is de jure. But the de jure of Nigerian government is diminishing each passing day. For example, when we (MASSOB) declared a sit-at-home order, people obeyed us even when the Nigerian government countered it. Another example is the issue of Biafran currency. People have come to embrace it as legal tender. The Biafran international passport is in operation. In fact, the Biafran project is on course and nobody can crush the dream. On Biafra we stand. No retreat, no surrender,” he said.
Madu added that the movement would soon introduce new Biafran currency so as to strengthen the money’s acceptability. “It appears that people are not using the money, perhaps, because the Biafran currency we introduced was the old one. We shall introduce new Biafran currency at the appropriate time. However, the Biafran currency is still being used in countries like Ghana, Republic of Benin and Togo.”

We are waiting

ROTFLMAO

These people and their Biafra sef.

California, Texas, Alaska and Hawaii should split up from the US before Nigeria disintegrates.

Im sorry but Nigeria sounds sexier than Oduduwa, Biafra or Arewa.

Everybody is saying it isn't possible. I think you folk ain't being realistic; what if amnesty fails? Suddenly all bets would be off. . . Don't doubt that the SS and SE cannot easily take on the country.
The majority of Nigerians underestimate the depth of anger in the oil producing areas. What if amnesty fails?

Gekko:

Im sorry but Nigeria sounds sexier than Oduduwa, Biafra or Arewa.

Pls how can one get identified with Biafra before all these things go begin de happen.

citizenY:

Reading history wrong again. Each zone will for one country.

I know where Aniocha go go when the time comes for Deta state,
i know where southern Zaria go go
I know where Ilaje go go for Ondo state
i know where tiv go go for Taraba state.

I am surprised this permutation is not base on Local governments.

Finish your election for Anambra state first where u get 47 abi 42
candidates for one party. The first election in Biafra you will have more
candidates than voters.

Aniocha (or did you mean Anioma) will go with their brothers. They have increasingly shed the toga of root denial in recent times. They will naturally prefer where they will be equal than where they will be marginalized. The current president of the Igbos (Ohaneze) is an Anioma

47 or 1000 candididates is what makes for democracy. That should not be an issue as long as the elective process is free and fair, one person will emerge at the end of the day. Better 100 candidates than a self-imposed, unelected candidate.

Infact 47 candidates is a PDP thing, and it shows two things:

1. PDP is a behemoth
2 Other parties appear to have no credibility in the minds of interested candidates

As against PDP though, AC has produced a single candidate
APGA has produced a single candidate
PPA has produced a single candidate
So have a bunch of other parties
47 candidates is not an Anambra problem
It is a PDP problem
Everyone runs to that party because from every likelihood it will remain the leading party until Nigeria finally packs up

nonsense nonsense talk. yeah right like biafra will be a perfect or even better state than nigeria, ethnic minorities issues will still plague them, poverty, corruption because i dont see reasonable, democratic, and well-seasoned leaders. just a means to gain power.

Biafra, Oduduwa and other states might not be different from Nigeria; but at least they will be relatively smaller states and therefore easier to manage than the present unweildy and clumsy Nigeria. It will be easier to deal with political criminals and looters because tribalism will not play a role. In the new Biafra, there will not be minorities; only Igbo speaking people are wanted.

If you look throughout history going back to ancient Egypt, it is well documented that multiethnic/multicultural/multiracial/etc societies inevitably fail. In my honest opinion, I think this will be true for Nigeria.

Stop listen to this biafra nonsense . it is not possible to have biafra in nigeria with millions of people been killed.

Even Ojukwu and Gowon would tell you, they would never have done it . and made the right decision. MASSOB is only planning to get millions of igbos killed again.

The only way nigeria can break up is two. Which have post in the map. That is the only peaceful way. If the igbos get biafra, it is the 5 igbos state that could be biafra.


MASSOB is only joking. most igbos know biafra would lead to a civil war.  Even igbos leaders run away from the man to avoid trouble. Because they dont want igbos to be killed again.

That is their only other option. But the north must get cross river, akwa ibom and rivers for peace. Those 3 state contain nearly 70% of the oil. While if they 5 igbos state do not want to be part of the 70% of the oil which the north would get.  They can create the five igbo state into biafra.   but the north must have cross river, akwa ibom and River state for thier to be peace.  And igbo are better of been part of 70% of the oil .

Are they protecting the people of Biafra or their Oil interest?

is that so,

You know he is telling you people a lie. There is no oil in biafra republic, less than 45,000 barrel of oil in Igboland.

20,000   bpd  Imo state
25,000  bpd abia state

  Abia and imo state produce less than 45,000 of oil a day. is that what the USA want to protect with 20,000 men. the USA have no sure plan for Biafra republic 45,000 barrel of oil.

Nigeria govt have been telling them lie and given them money they do not earn. This is why they think in thier imagination they have oil. they have been robbing rob to pay others. Is like peter get rob to pay paul.

MOSSOB must know the yorubas have no plan for oduduwa country or what ever he calls it. it is just in his head. we yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa state just want to join Benin republic.

Enlighten yourself. Most of the oil in Igboland are cappped and therefore unexploited. More oil is contained in Imo and Abia than are currently tapped. There is even more oil in Anambra and Enugu than Abia. These are yet to be touched. Biafra will have enough oil when it is ready to go.

Becomekolo,

Even at that, I doubt that Imo does produce only 20000 bpd; neither does Abia produce only 25000. Please provide your source

you are 100% correct ,but when has the British or America ever wanted any country to succeed besides their own?

They favor diverse countries aside from their own because its easier to infiltrate and have opposing opinions which they call a democracy, most  culturally and religous homogeneous 3rd world countries become socialist or have communist ideals.

Nonsense.

Just because it is coming from MASSOB, every idiot is commenting. This same position was taken by a Yoruba prophet and the Catholic Archbishop Onaiyekan recently and nobody raised an eyebrow. Hypocrits. The words Igbo and MASSOB will certainly send some folks to an early grave. I siddon dey look

We don’t need a prophet to tell us that Nigeria would disintegrate – Onaiyekan

•Most Revd Onaiyekan

President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, His Grace, Most Revd Dr John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, has said that Nigerians don’t need a prophet to tell them that the country would disintegrate.

In an interview with Daily Sun, Archbishop Onaiyekan, who likened himself to some old prophets, gave some warning signals and spoke on other issues such as President Umaru Yar’Adua’s 29 months in office, general assessment of the polity, the state of infrastructure, including amnesty, war on corruption as well as electoral reform.

Excerpts:
Your Grace, different prophets have prophesied that Nigeria would disintegrate. Do you share this view or do you believe Nigeria would continue to remain united?

If by prophets you mean those who claim to see the future, I am not a prophet. But there are certain things, which I would call cause and effect, which if you do them, there would be consequences and in that sense, there is no question of prophecy. It is simply a matter of correct analysis of the situation and a correct plotting of where the curve is going. Not only Nigeria.

Any nation that does not care about good governance, builds itself on lies, does not care about the less privileged within its midst, the leaders are only interested in their own selfish interest and convenience and close their eyes completely to the poor, the sick, the aged and the youths and basic amenities are not their top priority, where roads are untended, factories are allowed to die, schools stay closed for months and nobody is worried, such a nation cannot say that they are building themselves into anything great. Such a nation is killing itself. So you don’t need a prophet to tell you that.

I would say that what we need to tell our people is that the part we are following is dangerous. We are dancing on the brink of chaos and disaster. It is within our control. We can still change. We can still change the rules of our games. We can decide to have free and fair elections. We can decide that those who work in government would get a good pay. That we would do the right thing so that the resources of the country can be properly distributed. All these are within our control. We are not under the threat of any foreign invasion. So if Nigeria disintegrates, it would be fully out of our own thought. It is not anything about prophecy. It would simply be self-destruction.

I, therefore, as a bishop and as someone who should tell the truth, I see my role in the light of the old prophets, to warn. Behave well, do the right thing, take care of the orphans, widows and the poor. Do not steal from the poor people because every money you steal from the government, you are stealing from the poor. Don’t pervert justice. Pass judgement according to the truth. Do not condemn the innocent man and above all, don’t acquit the guilty person because he has money and power. If you do this, then we have a great future because it is my strong conviction that God has blessed our nation and God intends and destines our nation to greatness. It is in our hands whether we shall achieve that greatness or not.

At 49, what is your simple assessment of our nation, Nigeria?
First, we thank God that we are still together and we have not disintegrated. And this is also because God has been over generous with us and not because we have really tried so hard. My further assessment is that we could have been better than we are now if we have handled ourselves with much sincerity and more seriousness. The result is that where we are is not where we should have been. But further assessment is that all is not lost. The future is still before us, especially as we move towards the year 50. My prayer is that, it would be an opportunity for us to do self-examination and the necessary readjustment that we need to do in order that we can start to move our country in the right direction.
Since President Umaru Yar’Adua became president in 2007, people have been complaining that nothing is going on. Do you agree?

Something is going on. The question is, what is going on? People are sitting in their offices, some of them even told me that some ministers and permanent secretaries are working in their offices until 11pm. They must be doing something. And many people have accumulated billions, stealing our money. So those things are going on. What is not going on is that there is not much progress in power supply. The nation is still where it was.

The issue of unemployment is even worse. Not only that, factories are not being built and the old ones that were flourishing have closed down. The roads, some are put in order and some are not. In other words, as far as the social welfare of the people is concerned, very little is going on. Obviously, the president is the first person in the country, so he has the first responsibility for it.

Amnesty is being granted to the Niger Delta militants. What is your opinion and what do you feel about it?
I believe that when there is conflict and people have grievances, their grievances must be looked into. And if you want reconciliation and peace, one must make room for admission of guilt and forgiveness, mutually offered and accepted. The amnesty in itself is a good thing and I believe it should be extended to all, everybody, if possible.

I would like to see that kind of amnesty working also in all our prisons, with all those young men who are there, some of whom are innocent and languishing in jail for years. They should be released on amnesty. If all you need to grant anybody amnesty is a declaration that “I am sorry, I won’t do it again,” then we should continue. Go to the prisons and anybody who has decided that he will not do it again we shall release the person.

As far as the Niger Delta crisis is concerned, I am not too much informed about the extent of the activities of the militants, and whether those the government is negotiating with, represent all the interests down there. So my major concern is whether this amnesty is honest, whether it is reaching everybody concerned, or whether it is giving money to few boys while others go back to extort more from people. By their fruits, we shall know them. We would watch and see how this goes.

The concept of amnesty will be very important for Nigeria. It is not only the Niger Delta militants that have caused havoc to this country. In fact, I think the executive thieves and robbers have caused far more damage to our economy than the Niger Delta militants. If they repent, I think Nigeria will be ready to grant them amnesty. And just like they asked the Niger Delta militants to hand in their guns in exchange for amnesty, all those thieves and rogues should bring back our money and we would forgive them. If we are ready to go that far, then I will really say that we are dealing with amnesty.

What is your take on the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Aminu Lamido Sanusi’s advice that President Umaru Yar’Adua should cut down his seven-point agenda to two?
I am on record that we don’t even need seven-point agenda or two-point agenda. I am on record to say that the only agenda we need is one, which is good governance. So from that point of view, I agree with the CBN governor. There is no point saying that we have seven-point agenda when we cannot see progress on anyone of them.
Are you optimistic that President Yar’Adua’s electoral reform would lead to a hitch-free electoral process in the near future?

It is not Yar’Adua’s electoral reform. This should be the electoral reform of the Nigerian people and I think this should be stressed. It is not so much about what Yar’Adua and his ministers want. It should be what Nigerians want. And from what I have been seeing around us, Nigerians by and large, are quite happy with the Uwais Commission. And we expect that the president, the ministers, all of them in the executive council, should read very accurately, the mood of the nation and follow it.
Since the advent of President Yar’Adua’s administration, would you say the war on corruption is still going on or dead?

Well, as far as the war on corruption is concerned, we have been hearing the talk about it. But again, by their fruits, we shall know them. What we are hearing is that instances of high level of corruption have not reduced. Indeed, may have escalated. And when that is happening, then it means that we are only talking. And if we are only talking, you don’t win a war only by talking. If we really consider it a war against corruption it means we should be ready to be ruthless. That is what war is all about. And deal ruthlessly with all those who are corrupt, starting from the top. The problem is: those who are shouting loudest against corruption are often among the most corrupt people.

And with that situation, no progress can be achieved. We have really no choice about fighting corruption because for as long as we allow corruption to continue the way it is going, the country cannot move forward. So, what I was saying earlier about changing our own attitudes is specifically in reference to corruption. If we want our country to move forward, so that we can begin to sit on the table with the high people in this world, the famous, and Nigeria being among the greatest economy in the year 2020, we must tackle corruption. If we don’t, even the year 3000, we will not be anywhere.

Not necessarily, but I understand what you're saying.

of course not necessarily but thats what America and British will think and act on.
But can anyone name any 3rd country that is successful and beat the odds?

One of the reasons they didnt want Nigeria split back then.

When you say 3rd country, do you mean country that has split or a 3rd world country? I don't follow. . .

3rd world country as in development wise

Angola, Malaysia, Indonesia.

blackspade:

Angola, Malaysia, Indonesia.

The same malaysia who have chinese as almost 30% of the population.

Angola that is ruled by the mesticos, i dont even think an african indigne has ever been president 

Indonesia is diverse also

but im really talkin about countries that are of real importance to America Oil etc

I don't see how Biafra can be viable without the South -south but lets wait and see.
