The Movement for the Sovereign State of
Biafra (MASSOB) has said that most Northern
are suffering due to lack of education.
The group also called on elders in Northern
Nigeria to warn their youths to guard their
utterances.
MASSOB said this while reacting to reports
that a group of Northern youths wants the
United Nations (UN) to list Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB), as a terror group.
Edeson also wondered why those calling for
IPOB to be listed as a terror organisation have
not reported Fulani herdsmen to the UN.
According to Daily Post, he said "These
Northern youths who want United National to
list IPOB as a terrorist group are confused and
directionless group who do not know the
meaning of terrorist and what constitutes
terrorism.
"MASSOB will not blame them because they
are limited by lack of education as most of
them are illiterates,uneducated and charlatans
who did not know the difference between
terrorism and self determination.
"The Northern elites are using them to cause
trouble because they are desperate to control
Nigeria by all means by using Northern youths
to intimidate Nigerians when they feel their
hold on to power is threatened, and these
Northern group forgot that they have ruled
Nigeria for 20years from 1979 to 1999, there
was no complain from the Southern part of
Nigeria.
"The Northerners are to be blame for crisis
Nigeria, their believe in "born to rule has failed
them,that is why they are shouting and
complaining creating confusion in the society.
"The Northern youth should have first of tell
United Nations to declare Fulani herdsmen
who went about killing and raping women and
destroying people farm land as terrorists,
these Northern youths are so blind that they
cannot see the havoc the brothers are doing
communities in the name of herdsmen.
"They want United Nation to label IPOB a
terrorist organization because they are seeking like other Biafra agitating groups for self determination, when they use Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen to kill and maim people and yet they have not been declared terrorists region. United Nations is made up of enlightened and educated people, they cannot respond to such laughable and unrealistic call because they know the meaning of what IPOB, MASSOB and other Biafra agitating groups are doing.
"MASSOB is therefore warning Arewa elders
and their youths to mind their utterances
because Ndigbo and Biafrans cannot be intimidated by their antics of the people who have continued the set Nigeria back and yet they want to hold on to power by all means."
You will recall that a group of Northern youths
had earlier issued an ultimatum asking Igbos
living in the region to return to the South-
East.
