Yesterday some Pro-Biafra agitators on lashed out at popular catholic priest Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, for describing the ongoing biafran protests as a “waste of time”.

Rev. Mbaka had during a sermon in Enugu on Saturday condemned ongoing agitation and protests for the actualization of Biafra.

Rev. Mbaka described the agitation as ‘evil’, chided the protesters, mostly youths, for abandoning their businesses and disrupting economic activities.

“Locking up your shops and disrupting economic activities will not add any naira to your pocket, whatever grievance you have could be resolved through dialogue,” the clergyman had said.

Reacting to Mbaka’s comments, a faction of the Movement for the Actualization of Biafra, which had joined the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra in the protests, said the agitators are ready to sacrifice more than their shops and businesses.

National Director of Information of the MASSOB faction, Comrade Uchenna Madu, in a statement made available to journalists in Enugu, said the youths are ready to lay down their lives for the sake of ‘freedom’.
“Biafra agitators are more determined to sacrifice our shops, businesses, jobs, comfort and even the supreme price for the sake of our freedom,” Madu said.

The MASSOB spokesman described Mbaka’s comments as insensitive. He wondered why the cleric spoke out against the protests a few days after he was allegedly visited by the wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari, who was in Enugu State recently to inaugurate a health screening scheme.

“Factional MASSOB totally condemned Rev. Mbaka’s insensitive statement against Biafra.
“His position on Biafra is misguided, so selfish and shameful – how can a revered Igbo clergyman descend so low in making such a condemnable statement few days after Buhari’s wife visited him?,” Madu said.
Accusing the cleric of speaking from both sides of his mouth, the MASSOB spokesman said, “Igbo christians, catholics and even the Pope will prove Mbaka wrong.

“Many Igbo clergymen including the catholic priests are not in support of Rev. Mbaka’s government paid anti comment on Biafra.”

“This is why the Igbo youths and other citizens have lost confidence and trust on many Igbo leaders in Nigeria,” he added.

Madu expressed regrets that Mbaka chose to speak out against the pro-Biafra agitation despite the fact that the agitators patronized his satchet and bottled water products while marching on the streets in the course of the protests.

These guys have thesame ideology as isis

Isis were slaugthering fellow muslims for not hating Assad enough - "How can you a sunni muslim not hate Assad who is not a sunni?" they said.

So because Mbaka does not support your cause he has descended so low....so much for the freedom in thier proposed Biafra

If they really want to die they can visit the lagoon

ReportersNG:

azzima:
These ones EVEN proudly called themselves FACTIONAL MASSOB while still agitating for a UNITED igboland (Biafra ). We now officially have 3 different massobs ??What an oxymoron. .......these fools ain't even united yet preaching unity. They will eventually turn out like South Sudan ,those negros are still bitterly fighting each other's sub-clan since independence. Hope no one will blame the White man again o.
