Breaking: EU Approved Biafra Embassy In All Countries In Europe, Rochas Thinks Otherwise
The IPOB movement is indeed generating some positive recognition by the European Union. According to the Information obtained this Morning from Biafra Magazine, (Voice of Biafra) has confirmed that the European Union has granted Maize Nnamdi Kanu his request he made during the visit to EU Parliament.
An eye witness at the parliament simply identified as Jim Krock said the Biafran movement is generating a lot of publicity and should maintain the present momentum. He, however, cautioned those making ungirded statement to be careful and be guided to avoid constitutional crises.
However, Senator Rochas Thinks otherwise. The former governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, voiced that he does not know what the IPOB is advocating for till date.
Okorocha who did not deny knowing members of the group said he would only consider joining them only if the Nnamdi Kalu-led group can convince him on why he must join IPOB and where it is taking the Igbos to.
“To be honest with you, I don’t know what IPOB is looking for to date. I don’t know what the agenda of IPOB are and where they are planning to take Ndigbo to. Speaking on having any relationship with the group, the lawmaker representing Imo North at the upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly said it is his duty to have a chat with them as a father.
“In the first place, IPOB is not different from other similar groups from other parts of the country, but it is just the packaging and name that have always been the problem,” Sun reported. “I don’t know what we plan to achieve by isolating ourselves from the rest of the country. And until IPOB answers the question, the leaders might not know how to handle it.
“When you say IPOB, are they trying to call for another sovereign nation? If they want to use this as a way of correcting certain injustices meted to the Igbo, then they should change the name to start with.
“When Oduduwa, Arewa or Niger Delta youths talk, they don’t call for a sovereign nation. For Igbo to become a country of their own, they have to think about the consequences.
“Personally, I don’t think it is good for the Igbo to become isolated from other nations and tribes in this country. “Although the young men may have grievances, they should package them properly for the world to understand what they are fighting for.
“The leaders seem to have kept quiet for too long. Like our children, we need to build them and let them know that they cannot be talking about sovereignty within a nation. “What programme do they have in the first place? What has IPOB done about the Igbos killed in South Africa? Is it not surprising that they have not done anything?
“I challenge all the Igbo to return from South Africa, India and other parts of the world, converge on Onitsha market and let us see what will happen. “I don’t think the Igbo need IPOB at this point; it is rather a distraction that is not good for our political future. It might be the reason we are not doing well politically, yet we are adding more danger to it.
