Pope Francis
I IPOB quoted the Pontiff to have said that “it is never too late to convert an
oppressor to change from his evil activities, including murderous activities,
but it is urgent, it is now, let them begin today to change from their
oppression and killing of innocent people through all sorts of violent means,
including the jack boot of the military.”
According to
the pro Biafra group, the Pope spoke on “invincible patience,” explaining how
God’s “unyielding concern for sinners” should provoke patience in us, asking if
we have thought of God’s patience.
“Have you
thought of His unyielding concern for sinners, how this should provoke patience
among people, including governments, instead of killing people on slightest
provocation or no provocation at all, let alone people who are protesting
against unfair treatments or for something they feel is their right?” IPOB said
the Pope told them that God does not permit tragedies to punish sins but
rather, that Jesus uses warnings that sinners will perish if they do not
repent, adding that if the oppressors of peaceful agitators like the Biafra
agitators in Nigeria fail to repent, the wrath of God will be catastrophic against
them.
The Pontiff
according to IPOB welcomed the need to firmly and unreservedly focus on
negotiations and dialogue between governments and agitators all over the world
including Biafra agitators and the
government of Nigeria, like it was done in Syria which has brought the current
ceasefire in the country, involving government and rebel forces.
“I invite all
to pray so that this window of opportunity can give relief to the suffering
people and agitators and encourage the necessary humanitarian aid, and open the
way to dialogue and much desired peace” he said. Planned deportation In another
development, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB, has condemned the plan by the Norwegian government to illegally deport Lotachukwu
Okolie, the detained leader of pro Biafra agitators in Norway and his
counterpart Onyedikachi Ani, also detained, who is married to a Norwegian and
has a child with her, and other Biafra activists in the country.
According to
a statement by the leader of MASSOB, Mr Uchenna Madu, a plan is allegedly being
hatched to deal with Biafra agitating groups. The statement read: “Norway and
Nigeria have already perfected plans of deporting them through chartered cargo
airplane from Belgium, to transport them to Lagos on March 9, 2016.
The
information we have is that the Norwegian government have struck a deal with
Nigerian Immigrations Service, in Lagos to accept all the deportees and bypass
the embassy which knows about their pro Biafra activities but cooked up lies
against them and consider them threat to Nigeria security, which means they
will be eliminated on arrival. No to falsehood Worried by all the rumours
making the rounds on the issue of Biafra, the umbrella body of Igbo
Socio-Cultural organisations, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has denied meeting with President
Muhammadu Buhari on agitation for Republic of Biafra and warned proponents of
Radio Biafra to desist from airing falsehood because ‘’he who goes to equity
must come with clean hands.’’
The apex Igbo
group gave the warning following Radio Biafra reports that Ohanaeze had aborted
the actualisation of Biafra as a country, that some white people from America
held a meeting with Ndigbo through Ohanaeze with the intent of delivering a
United Nation’s Certificate of Recognition and Independence of the Republic of
Biafra.

if residence in Norway is illegal then it's fair to be deported
