the national women leader for the first time in the state.

coordinator Mazi Igwe Ogbonnaya alongside his executives and the senatorial
district coordinator of Ebonyi north, Mazi Wisdom Ezike and the Ebonyi south

appreciated the women of Ebonyi state IPOB for their formidability in the quest
to restore Biafra, she narrated her experience in the struggle from the time
she joined MASSOB with Uwazurike, she enumerated the differences between MASSOB
and IPOB, she reiterates that IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will restore Biafra.
Speaking on the politics and the unity of the expired contraption called
Nigeria, she said "The politicians cannot offer to us anything helpful,
all they are mindful of is their pockets and stomach, they can do anything to
the detriment of the poor masses to achieve their lustful goals, we should be
mindful of them and their evil activities, be wise as serpent to avoid being
deceived"
She added that Nigeria from the day of its contraption by the British,
has not been one in any form and will never be. "All the efforts made to
see if Nigeria could be one especially by Biafrans failed woefully instead it
resulted into killings, maiming and marginalization of the Biafrans by the
Nigeria government, there is nothing better for
this contraption than to divide it let Biafra secede. The Biafra
referendum coming up in no distant time will barricade the falsehood of Nigeria
unity" She further quoted some verses from the Quran which supported the
killings of non-Muslims (the infidels) by the Muslim faithful.
