No doubt, there is a war raging in the South Eastern and South Southern parts of the country. For most of the youths and locals in these zones, they are emotionally and sentimentally attached to the
struggle. They see it as a battle for their true identity, freedom and liberation from perceived subjugation in a bigger entity called Nigeria. That explains why they are risking their lives to challenge the powers that be during street protests and other demonstrations.
But how do the principal actors leading the Biafra struggle see each other in term of their sincerity and commitment to a fight that has claimed hundreds of lives? That is the golden question Saturday Sun asked the three leading lights of the Biafra agitation this week. Their responses in the following interviews will blow your mind; they are damn revealing and explosive!
Founder of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and now Biafra Independent Movement IBIM), Chief Ralph Uwazurike, the new leader of MASSOB, Uchenna Madu and the latest face of the struggle, Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) opened a can of worms on the dark sides of the struggle which may not be known to most of the people that have bought into and taken ownership of the spirit of Biafra.
As it stands, the struggle to dominate and lead the agitation for a Biafra republic may have created another war within Biafra itself. For now, the situation is like the case of a bird perching on a tiny rope, there is no peace for the bird and none for the rope.
