OWERRÄ° - Ä°MO STATE : The Movement for the Actualizaion of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has insisted that permitting the rights to Self-Determination only in Europe and America while denying same in West Africa Sub-region - in this case, Biafra, because they're blacks is being double standard.
BIM,-MASSOB's social activism is a reminder for the world at large to adhere strictly to its own common rules; a call to the United Nations to honour its own common laid down principles and expectations based on our unwavering faith in the world to apply the same common set of guidelines to its humanity regardless of geography or sociobiology.
MASSOB explained that before the coming together of Sovereign Nations to form what is today known as the United Nations in 1945, a resolution was entered by League of Nations -- a group of Nations who have combined for a particular purpose.
They set an agenda -- on the Rights and Duties of States in the City of Montevideo, Republic of Uruguay on 28th December, 1933.
Bolivia alone amongst the States represented at the Seventh Ä°nternational Conference Of American States did not sign the Convention . The United States of America, Peru, and Brazil ratified the Convention with reservations directly attached to the document.
Many Sovereign countries today including our oppressor, Nigeria have never gained her Independence at that period , the BIM-MASSOB leader, Ralph Uwazuruike once said as MASSOB celebrated 26 years of non-violent agitation for Biafra on September 13, 2025.
Uwazuruike stressed that since June 1, 1991, about 34 years ago when he was called to the Nigerian Bar Association as a lawyer and still counting, that he is conversant with the nitty-gritty of the resolutions of the Montevideo Convention , and of course, following their rules and principles meticulously.
As we speak, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, a leader of non-violent organization, and the official representative of a people of over fifty million strong by population, is excercising his Self-Determination rights under the name and banner of Biafra.
Citing mass killings as reasons, like the Massacre of MASSOB members of over 3, 000 by the repressive regime of the former Nigerian President, Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo;
Insecurity,
the Persecution of Christians in Nigeria;
Unemployment,
Police brutality, Injustice, Total Disregard for the rule of law,
Corruption and a Government that only offered protection to politicians,
the group urged United Nations to do the needful by dividing Nigeria into its natural units of 6 Republics of which Biafra is one -- for peace to reign supreme.
BIM-MASSOB had earlier accused the world body, UN, and America of granting independent States to smaller countries in Europe with lesser populations in the past while denying same to Biafra with bigger population in Nigeria's West Africa -- because we are blacks.
The BIM-MASSOB organization working for the establishment of Biafra republic through non-violent and non-exodus methods also accused the United Nations and developed countries of the world for not being proactive in responding to the problems of Africa till such problems escalated to war and Genocide.
The group cited the examples of Somalia, Rwanda (Darfur Region), Biafra, Congo, Sudan and lately Liberia.
In a press release signed by the group's Director of information, Mazi Chris Mocha recalled how the British empire which created the evil contraption called Nigeria separated Pakistan from India.
Soviet Union in 1991 separated into 15 independent States;.
Czechoslovakia had in 1992 separated into Czech and Slovakia Republics;
Eritrea in 1991 separated from Ethiopia.
Under our watchful eye MASSOB said that East-Timor of about 821, 000 populations separated from Indonesia in May 21, 2002;
Serbia and Montenegro also separated in November 13, 2006 during a world cup tournament;
Kosovo, a tiny population of less than 10 million people later separated from Serbia on February 17, 2008;
In Africa, South Sudan also separated from Sudan on July 9, 2011.
Some countries we have never heard their names recently also participated in international football tournaments.
Ä°f truly United Nations is working for global peace, then it should not turn a deaf ear to our popular demand for Biafra ( the occupied territory in Nigeria) to be accorded recognition .
