It was a great moment for the people of Obazu Mberi of Owerri Province
in Imo Biafraland, as IPOB Family Unit was inaugurated on 28th September. The
community which hosts the deputy Governor of Imo state felt the aura of Biafra.
Biafran men, women and children couldn’t hide their joy, seeing the wind of
Biafra coming across Obazu Mberi.
Those who spoke to Imo Media Team (IMT), thanked their son (Mazi
Chiukwudi Maraihe) over his efforts to coordinate the establishment of IPOB
Family Unit from rivers state. The people poured blessings on their son for his
efforts towards the realization of their dream of having IPOB Family Unit in
Obazu Mberi.
The Owerri Provincial Coordinator (Mazi Abraham Chimakpam) while
addressing the people of Obazu Mberi, charged them to be steadfast in
evangelizing the Biafran message to the nook and cranny of Mberi. The height of
his response was when a man who introduced himself as the Mberi APGA ward
chairman demanded if IPOB could go into understanding with APGA in Mberi for
“achievement of Ojukwu dream on Ndigbo”. Reacting to the politician’s demand,
the provincial coordinator demanded from the man instances of what he has
achieved from politics since he joined Nigerian politics. He demanded from the man to convince him if
there are new faces in APGA aside those who are impoverishing the people? Lack
of facts on these questions, forced the politician to secretly exit among the
people.
Furthermore, the provincial coordinator told the people to be watchful
as more are coming to buy them with “rice and tomato”.
The local Government coordinator (Mazi Emegbuonye Umeguzo) admonished
Obazu Mberi people to take the assignment before them serious. He urged them to take the gospel of Biafra
restoration down to their kitchens. The Mbaitolu coordinator regrettably
narrated how one Mathew Ikeagwu who joined Iroanya’s group got Mberi IPOB
destroyed with lies after he joined Iroanya Radio Biafra International. IMT
Efforts to reach Mathew Ikeagwu was abortive as his line couldn’t connect as of
the time of writing this report.
The Rivers State Deputy coordinator (Oyanate Dan) who was in Obazu Mberi
to encourage the people, told the people of Obazu Mberi to sit up to reality.
“As an Ijaw man, we were deceived to think that our Igbo brothers are our
enemies. We grew up with this mindset before the arrival of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Today,
the spell is off from our Ijaw people. Look, Mberi people must reject Nigeria
with fabric of their existence. Nigeria is damned and nothing good will ever come
out from it. We the Riverline people are
the same with the Igbos (sic). Till date, when we want to marry, our mothers
always encourage us to come to upland and pick a wife. So, the era of divide
and rule is over!”. He stated.
The organizer, Mazi Chiukwudi Maraihe who is an Igwuocha base, told his
people to keep keeping on. “I was grieved to hear and see how Mathew Ikeagwu
ruined IPOB Family in Obazu Mberi. He told you people to pay N500 each in every
of your meetings as was mandated to him by Iroanya. That is wickedness and
mischievousness. That is what we don’t accommodate in IPOB! Criminals among us can’t last forever,
definitely Chiukwu Okike Abiama will fish them out as they wouldn’t last
forever. Please my people, I took it as a challenge all the way from Igwuocha
to see that IPOB IN Obazu Mberi stands to her feet. We can’t afford to
fail! I will give all the necessary
support to see to it that every family in Obazu Mberi gets a family unit within
them before the referendum date is announced. That we must achieved!,” he said.
Various individuals among them were nominated by the people as their
leaders. Mazi Abraham Chimakpam while administering the oath of office on them,
charged the members of the executive to take their duty serious, and stay away
from any act of indiscipline as the leadership of IPOB maintains zero tolerance
to indiscipline. Thanking his guests, the unit coordinator, Rev. Uche Ekeoma
thanked the Owerri provincial coordinator and the Igwuocha deputy coordinator
for their assistance. He prayed for Chiukwu Okike Abiama to grant everyone safe
journey to their various destinations.
