MASSOB: Do not build toll gates in the southeast, we will dismount at

 (MASSOB) warned the federal government against the construction of toll gates in the southeast region.

The federal government recently announced its decision to restore toll gates on federal roads across the country.

In a statement by its spokesman, Uchenna Madu, the secessionist group pledged to dismantle any toll gate observed in the predominantly Igbo area.

Describing this policy as a vicious plot against local residents, the group said the previously available data indicated that the region would have more toll gates than other regions, despite the deplorable state of federal roads in the region .

"The six South-South states will have 21 toll barriers; Southwest with six states will have 22 toll gates; five southeastern states 56 with a total of 99 toll gates of the 17 southern states, "said the group.

"The seven northwestern states will have 12 toll gates; nine toll gates in six northeastern states; while six north-central states will raise 14 toll gates for a total of 35 toll stations from 19 northern states.

MASSOB notes that the south-east with only five states has 56 tolls, which is more than the 19 states of the northern region with 35 tolls. Even the northern region that claims to have the largest population will pay the least.

"The Igbo states are higher with 21 tolls, which is consistent with the fact that Igbo is besieged and exploited.

"The southeast has more police checkpoints than any other region. it has the largest number of federal roads in poor condition; It has the smallest land mass and the shortest distances from one point to another compared to other areas, and also has the worst road network in Nigeria.

"The lands of Igbo and Biafra can never be an experimental ground for the deployment of perversities, malice, hatred, genocide, extrajudicial killings by the police, military terrorism, political enslavement and massacres. without foundation of innocent and unarmed citizens.

"MASSOB condemns and insists that there will be no toll in the country of Biafra, as the Nigerian government has perversely proposed. MASSOB wonders how the establishment of these toll barriers in Nigeria will work, "the statement said.

"We want a Jewish state" - What Nnamdi Kanu said about Igbos in Isreal National TV


Biafra Indigenous People's Leader Nnamdi Kanu was featured yesterday at Israel National TV, where he talked about his arrest, incarceration and problems with the federal government.


The IPOB leader, introduced as Biafra's Nnamdi kanu, was asked how Biafranians perceive themselves as Jewish people looking at their roots.

Nnamdi Kanu responded by saying that Biafrans (Igbos) is scattering around 70 million people around the world and those who identify with their Jewish heritage are close to 50 million.

The IPOB leader said that a significant number of Biafrans practice Judaism on their prayers and in other areas.

Nnamdi Kanu also said that when Christianity came, the Jewish heritage was suppressed and they had to be ashamed of their "roots".

Fortunately, he said that some of the Biafranans have kept Jewish culture to this day when he saw Umuleri village in the Anambra state as an example where Jewish tradition is practiced.

The IPOB leader also said that all Igbos are Jewish, but the problem is the influx of Christianity into Nigeria by colonialism, which dampened Jewish tradition and shifted focus from the Old Testament to the New Testament. He said the Igbos are the Jews of Africa.

Nnamdi Kanu said the Biafranans want to return to what they were before the arrival of the British, because the way Nigeria was put together is the cause of the problem.

He also said that IPOB wants an independent Jewish state of Biafra that is independent of anything that has anything to do with Nigeria. He said they wanted a Jewish state to return to this way of life to worship the one true God in a Jewish way.

The IPOB leader said that Biafranians will not pour into Israel if they are emancipated, but return to Biafra and stay there.

He also talked about his arrest and was jailed for 19 months for calling for independence.

Following Nnamdi Kanu's testimony urging Igbos to participate in the 2019 election, the group thanked God for keeping the life of canoe. "His latest statement, contrary to the unpopular belief, proved that Ohanaeze Ndigbo has no hand in his efforts and sudden disappearance."

"We therefore advise Ndi IPOB to follow the intelligence and intelligence and to have a tactical synergy with the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

"Movements around the world that are IPOB in nature are usually directly or indirectly linked to partisan politics," it said.
"The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths (Worldwide) is still on a restructured Nigeria.


"We will promote and vote for the presidential candidate who brings in our restructuring ideas, we are Igbos, we are involved in the Nigerian project.

"We will vote, because if we do not make it, the election will still take and Nigeria will continue.

"Boycott the elections will benefit no one," it said.
