Uwazuruike Urged United Nations To Recognize Biafra As A Sovereign State

Published

Leader of Biafra independence movement and movement for actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra (BIM-MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruuke has urged the United Nation to recognize Biafra as an independent state.

He said it was because the fulanis had stayed in government for a very long period of time and for that reasons tended to believe themselves as if they are majority in Nigeria .

The Biafran leader spoke during a zoom conference yesterday (tuesday) at the Africa – Middle East Regional Forum on conflict prevention and the protection of the human rights of minorities which was monitored in Onitsha, Anambra state.

The forum was convened by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on minority issues and organized by Tom Lantos Institute , in cooperation with a number of Regional Organizations.

In a statement issued by his Media Assistant, Elder Chris Mocha quoted the Biafran leader as saying that ” the fulanis used the military to come to power over the years and now they are in government again”.

Just by history, our people were amalgmated in 1914 by one Lord Lugard between the northerners and southern protectorates ; that marriage he insisted had never worked.

” Because of that failure of marriage, in 1967 there was the civil war between Biafrans and Nigerians. That civil war between Biafrans and Nigerians ended in 1970.

Since that 1970 till date, the people of Biafra of about 50 million of populations were schemed out and excluded completely from anything governance in Nigeria.

Because of this exclusion, humiliation, intimidation and maginalisation of our people in Nigeria, we started again through non-violence the process of actualizing Biafra on 13th of September 1999.

Since then the Biafra agitators have suffered many casualities, so many of our people have been killed.

Up till today we no longer sleep in our various houses again because of the fact that we are still being pursued and chased by the armed fulani herdsmen who occupied our farm lands.
Our people can no longer go to the farm, the history is there for the global community to see what the people of Biafra are facing in nigeria”.

Uwazuruuke who was allowed only two minutes to speak whereas some participants spoke for about ten minutes urged the United Nations special rapporteur on minorities issues, His Excellency, Dr. Fernand de Varennes, to recognize Biafra as a sovereign state saying that during Olympic games and world cup tournaments, that we saw barage of countries and new nations that have been granted Independence in Europe and America without according same to Biafra.

Is it because we’re blacks ?Uwazuruuke queried the United Nations special rapporteur, stressing that the only solution to our problems in nigeria is the recognition of Biafra as a sovereign state.

Anambra State Government Arrests Man For Marrying Off His Underage Daughter

Published

on

The Anambra State Government has arrested one Uzochukwu Okoli, for marrying off his underaged daughter.

Okoli was apprehended after his daughter reported to the State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare about the alleged ill-treatment being meted out to her by her father and the man he forced her to marry.

The daughter, Chioma Okoli, who is currently 16 years old, said after the death of her mother, her father took her and her sister out of Edo state and brought them to Anambra.

She alleged that she was first forced to live with a 70-plus-year-old man at the age of 14 but after some time, she ran back to her father’s house before he finally gave her out to a 34-year-old Chinedu Nweke as husband.

Chioma who was in the company of her sister, explained that life with Chinedu has been a living hell because he allegedly beats her and sometimes pees in her mouth.

She said this act made her run away with their 9-month-old baby. Her father, Uzochukwu Okoli, on the other hand, claimed her daughter is 18 years old and, at some point, said she is 20 years old.

After he was handcuffed, Mr Okoli threatened to deal with the daughters if he made it out of prison. He also urged Chioma and her sister to pray he dies in prison because he would make life more miserable for them.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon Ify Obinabo, has instructed that the case be charged to court so that the girl can get justice.

Both Mr Okoli and Chinedu Nweke were arrested and will be arraigned in court.
