Top Biafra agitator slams IPOB for prohibiting recitation of Nigerian national anthem
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Uche Mefor, the estranged Deputy-Leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has criticised the pro-Biafra group for its threat that the Nigerian national anthem should be banned in the southeast region from April this year.
According to Mefor, the decision by IPOB’s Directorate of State (DOS) is “an assault and an infringement on the fundamental rights of those children and their teachers” in schools in Eastern Nigeria.

IPONK ( INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF NNAMDI KANU) MUST STOP DENTING THE IMAGE OF THE BIAFRA RESTORATION PROJECT AND MUST STOP THREATENING THE SCHOOL CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHERS IN BIAFRALAND
Civil Disobedience/passive resistance measure, action or exercise is a non-violent, mass action tool usually directed against oppressive and tyrannical governments in order to extract concession. First used by Chief Ralph Uwazurike for the first time in the Biafra struggle ( its prototype being the Indian case study of Ghandi and later in the USA by the civil rights movement championed by Luther), it was perfected by the INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA when it was under the collegiate leadership of men and women of goodwill who came out and gave their all for the restoration of Biafra.
It must be noted that for the civil disobedience to be effective and willingly accepted by the participants or the masses, it must be by PERSUASION and NEVER BY THREAT, INTIMIDATION , FORCE OR AGRRESSION. Civil disobedience is never violently conducted against or threats issued to the masses either directly or implied.It is not targeted against the masses and the vulnerable but against the oppressor. It is carried out by APPEALING TO THE CONSCIENCES THE PEOPLE OR THE MASSES. It is conducted in GOOD FAITH in order to achieve an intended, people-oriented purpose. Any use of threat or violence to the contrary to extract compliance from the masses remains a CRIMINAL CONDUCT.
It is, therefore, saddening to note that the recent threat, intimidation and immoral “BAN” on singing the Nigerian Anthem directed against the vulnerable school children and their teachers by the BUMBLING CRIMINAL GANGS IN IPONK is an assault and an infringement on the fundamental rights of those children and their teachers. We expect you to directly direct the “BAN” to the oppressor and not to threaten the school children and their teachers. If the school children must participate, it must be by PERSUASION and not by THREAT.

We warn you ahead of time that any forceful or violent enforcement of that “threat” is a CRIMINAL CONDUCT and anybody or group of people conducting themselves in that direction are CRIMINALS and must be seen as such.
