The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra(MASSOB)has ordered all traders and workers in South Eastern Nigeria to close their shops and offices today. The MASSOB has declared today "NO WORK DAY IN BIAFRA".
The news got to me yesterday and I have tried to confirm it from their web site, but there is nothing on such a directive. No Press Release. The news reached Bonny Island by word of mouth from Port Harcourt in Rivers State and the people in Port Harcourt informed me that only the native Ibo speaking states will likely comply with the directive of MASSOB.
I have had on line discussions with some leading members of MASSOB and I told them that they are not well organised and having radio station, web sites and other forms of mass media does not mean they are well organised. Because, emotional ratiocination will not be enough to address the goals and objectives of their mission. The majority of Ibos would rather be Nigerians than be Biafrans.
Even, most of the Ibos supporting Biafra cannot do without their Nigerian passport.
The best way to demonstrate their faith in Biafra is to withdraw their Nigerian citizenship and return their Nigerian passports to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
You cannot claim Biafra while carrying a Nigerian ID or Passport as all the so called "Biafrans" are currently doing.
MASSOB should stop kicking against their balls.
The problem with Nigeria is not tribalism, but kleptocracy.
Let us join hands to destroy kleptocracy and Nigeria will be the pride of all Nigerians and other Africans.
One God and One Nation Nigeria under the sun.
That romantic Biafran flag belongs to the Nigerian Civil War museum.
