The Biafra National Guard (BNG) has reportedly declared that
they’re ready to fight the Nigerian Army to avoid the extinction of The
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
This is after the Nigerian military declared IPOB a terrorist group
following the recent clash in Umuahia, the capital of Abia State.
In a statement submitted to the press, the BNG laughed off the
terrorist tag and vowed to fight on until the hope of Biafra is
restored.
According to Major Nkuma, the spokesman for the group he tagged the Nigerian government a “big joke” for making such declaration.
The statement reads:
“Nigerian government
can be rest assured of self-defense” because it would “never retreat or
surrender till death lift our hands.”
“It did not come as a surprise to Biafra National Guard that Buhari
through Nigerian military declared IPOB a terrorist organization.”
“Let us remind Nigerian establishment and Britain that IPOB is not a
group or organization- IPOB is the people of Old Eastern region and
having declared IPOB a terrorist organization, it implies that every
Biafran is a terrorist.”
“It is sad that we found ourselves in a country we are considered
species of terror and a country we have no right to ask for self-rule.”
“We the Biafra National Guard believe that the declaration is the end
of the road for all Indigenous People of Biafra who have been
peacefully clamoring for a referendum.”
“The big question remains; are we going to watch them implement the
genocide they just declared? “It is important to clearly state that
Biafra National Guard has been in existence for years and was not formed
recently as claimed by Nigerian military and it is an independent
self-defense group; primarily saddled with the responsibility of
defending old Easterners’ as enshrined in 2007 UN charter on the rights
of Indigenous People.”
“IPOB under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the mother of all
pro-Biafra groups and as such, all pro-Biafra activists are Indigenous
People of Biafra.”
“The Biafra National Guard is Indigenous but clearly independent and
doesn’t subscribe to the peaceful strategy of IPOB but fully endorsed,
and respects IPOB because it is Biafra people’s wish.”
“Biafra National Guard is not likely to take orders from IPOB because
IPOB is peaceful unless they decide otherwise- as we have always
maintained, IPOB is the representative of the entire people of Biafra.”
“We the Biafra National Guard carries the responsibility of
self-defense in Biafra land; and we are unapologetic, we don’t care what
Nigeria tags the people of Old Eastern region but they should be rest
assured that we must defend our lives according the 2007 UN and human
rights charter.”
“As thoughtless as the Nigerian military; a supposed intelligent
officer that passed out of school and living in a modern world to tag a
peaceful freedom fighting outfit terrorist organization is the height of
the joke- Nigeria is a big joke.”
“The daftness of Muhammadu Buhari has infected the Nigerian military
that they both speak out of sheer hatred instead of reason or
experience. “It is laughable that it took UN to declare Boko Haram a
terrorist organization but took a wayward soldier to declare a peaceful
or non-violent people a terrorist organization.”
“The Nigerian military can go to hell because we won’t be
blackmailed; we will defend our lives at all cost and we will restore
Biafra because we are freedom fighters.”
“Nigerian government and her military must be taken back to the
classroom or lecture hall to study history. They should be well taught
that Nelson Mandela was never a terrorist; Martin Luther King and
Mahatma Ghandi were never terrorists.”
“They should be lectured that no freedom fighting outfit or fighter
has been labeled a terrorist; it is only possible in artificially
created Nigeria.”
“Nigerian government and her military should go to UK and ask them
why they never tagged Scots terrorists and they should also go to Spain
for Catalonians. Must Nigeria continue to disgrace herself before the
world; is Nigeria a world apart from the real world?”
“Buhari and Britain should be well informed that they cannot
blackmail us; if being a freedom fighter is being a terrorist, we are
proud terrorists. “If being a Biafran is being a terrorist; we are happy
to be one but by virtue of our activities, we are not terrorists and
can never be.”
“We are Biafrans; we forbid terrorism; our culture and everything we
represent forbids terrorism. Nigerian military is killing our people and
we must defend ourselves to avoid our extinction.”
“Biafra National Guard will never engage civilians but will oppose
armed murderous Nigerian forces. “We have been labeled terrorist to
enable them implement the genocide against us but we will defend our
lives. Nigerian government can be rest assured of self-defense because
we shall never retreat or surrender till death lift our hands.”
“Britain must be held to account because they are the brain behind
the genocide and terrorist tag; they are backing this second phase
genocide against the people of Biafra.”
“Britain did not tag Scotland agitating for Self-determination
terrorists but went ahead to force Nigeria to tag Biafrans who are like
Scots terrorists.”
We will resist every attempt to implement this second genocide; may
God never forgive us if we watched on while ethnic cleansing is carried
out.”
