ZENITHBLOG.com reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, for some time now, have been calling for seccession from Nigeria.
The leader of the group, Igwe Ifeanyi pleaded with Ndigbo to: “Bury the idea of the struggle for Biafra and embrace the new platform, INM for intellectual and strategic engagements that would enthrone equity, fairness and justice to every member of the Nigerian state.”
According to him, breaking away from Nigeria is a way for Igbo people to destroy themselves.
He urged Igbos to unite together in other to reap reap maximum benefits from the peaceful co-existence of one United Nigeria.
He therefore urged supporters of Biafra to “quickly swallow their word and work together for a united Nigeria in line with the vision of great nationalists like Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe.”
According to Ifeanyi: “The ongoing clamour by some infertile-minded Igbo brethren for the secession of South east from Nigeria is a call to self-destruction, to say the least.
“It is obvious that those championing the movement for the return of Biafra were not born during the civil war and have no single idea of what Ndigbo went through during and after the war.

“We therefore call on those behind this movement to sheathe their sword and embrace a one and united Nigeria.
“Biafra is never the solution to our problem. In fact, it is the beginning of more problems for our already-troubled land.
“INM stands for the unity of Nigeria and urge those beating war drum to heed to the old Igbo adage that says, “ogwumagana agahi ogbanye ije ya maka na ohia n’ere oku (the chameleon does not change its movement because the bush is on fire.).”
