IPOB IS NOT AND CAN NEVER BE A TERRORIST GROUP. WE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THE TAG "TERRORISTS"

"We reject the awkward move of federal government of Nigeria to label IPOB a terrorist organization in totality. We can never accept to be addressed as terrorists because we are not armed but peaceful." This was the memorandum reached by Biafra Music members, who made their intention known during their daily program, "MATTERS OF THE DAY".

Biafra Music WhatsApp group is a platform created for the sole reason of propagating the gospel of Biafra Restoration to all nooks and crannies of the world that Biafra may be restored in our time. During their daily program, "MATTERS OF THE DAY", which was initiated by the administrators for the purpose of educating, encouraging and enlightening the masses on Biafra related issues, the members rejected the labelling of IPOB as a terrorist group by Nigerian Government and enjoined all and sundry to also reject the move, because the modus Operandi of IPOB is in no way related to that of a terrorist organization. 

IPOB are peaceful, nonviolent freedom fighters who have not in any way endangered the lives or properties of the masses. The program, which took place on 25th September, 2017 gave the people an opportunity to express their feelings and voice out their intentions on matters concerning IPOB and Biafrans in general. The topic in focus was, "DECLARING IPOB A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION BY NIGERIA GOVERNMENT: SHOULD WE ACCEPT BEING ADDRESSED AS TERRORISTS OR SHOULD WE REJECT THE NAME IN TOTALITY?"

Explaining the topic further, the presiding administrator made it known to the members that some people are sounding like "I'M PROUDLY IPOB TERRORIST" and questioned whether we should see it as Irony or stop using such phrase. Contributing to the program, Mr. Chukwuemeka said, "Biafrans do not kill or destroy properties; therefore, we are not terrorists."

Mr. Chinedu, who lamented bitterly that our people should reject the heinous accusation in totality, spoke in parable and said, "Wepu Aka Enwe Na ofe Tupu Owoo Aka mmadu". So, we should reject it. We should not soil our hands in bad things, please. We should stop it before the international community will start thinking that we do not know what terrorist means. There is no similarity between the modus operandi of IPOB and that of a terrorists Organizations like Boko Haram and Islamic States. We are absolutely deferent".

Nwada StarVicky, in her own reaction, said, "I am not conversant with Nigeria Constitution, but I can categorically analyze the activities of real terrorist groups like ISIS, BOKO HARAM and FULANI HERDSMEN and compare their activities with that of IPOB. There is no similarity at all. We must disqualify and reject the tag in totality." Sis Evangeline, in her own opinion which got many support from other members said, "We should reject the tag in totality. We can never accept to be addressed as terrorists because we are not armed but peaceful and nonviolent.  Even the International communities know we are not terrorists, and since the International communities know very well that we are not a terrorist organization why then should we accept to be addressed as terrorists," she questioned.

Last but not the least to contribute on the program was Mr Francisco, who is based in the northern part of the zoological republic called Nigeria who, in his reaction, said, “We are not terrorist but freedom fighters. So, there is no way a reasonable human being can identify, address, or call us terrorist organization."

ADMINS REMARK

Sometimes, what people think you are or what they call you does not really matter. What matters is what you are, what you want, and what you can do. IPOB is a peaceful, non-violent group agitating peacefully for the restoration of Biafra, and this agitation is as a result of intimidation, subjugation and deprivation meted out to the entire Biafra people. We are fanatically determined to restore Biafra through any peaceful means at our disposal. We urge every IPOB member to remain peaceful, attend your zonal meetings and contribute the little you can because one day, history shall have it that you are among those that restored Biafra.

With this we bring to an end today's program and enjoin you to keep a date with us on the next edition of our "MATTERS OF THE DAY."
