Expdonaloaded News; Biafra: MASSOB taunts Britain

MOVEMENT for the Ac­tualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has come down heavy on Britain over her comment on the agitation for a Biaf­ran state.The group said Brit­ish government’s double standard on global politics and stiff opposition to self-determination by the people of the defunct South Eastern province would not stop the independence of the state of Biafra.


This is even as the Move­ment placed a curse on of­ficials of the British govern­ment, saying the ghost of the Igbo killed during the civil war, which they alleged to have aided would continue to hunt them.
The British High Com­mission in Nigeria had last week through its Press and Public Affairs officer, Joe Abuku said the British gov­ernment only “recognise the (Nigerian) borders laid down at independence” and there would be no support for Biafra.
MASSOB Assistant Na­tional Director of Infor­mation, Sunny Okereafor, said it was the same Britain which said it was not going to support Biafra agitators that supported a referen­dum for Scotland to decide whether they will still re­main in the United Kingdom or not.
Noting that the same op­portunity that was given to Ireland and Scotland by Britain could have also been extended to the people of Biafra “or are they saying what is good for the Irish and Scottish people will not be good for the people of Bi­afra or is our own different because we are blacks?”
