IPOB: Nnamdi Kanu Reveals Major Reason He Is Fighting For Biafra

Nnamdi Kanu has revealed why he is fighting for Biafra.

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Friday stated why he is agitating for Biafra actualization.

The IPOB leader stated that the convergence of the core value of the North, East and West prevents Nigeria from doing well as a nation.

While speaking with the publisher of Ovation magazine, Dele Momodu on an IPOB community radio,Kanu pointed out that bringing Nigerians together without paying attention to the core value system of these ethnic groups has effect on the country’s growth.

He said: ”So, these are the anomalies that Africans particularly educated Nigerians need to sit down to address. That’s why we have unrested development, that’s why nothing seems to be working because the convergence of these diverse core value system of Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo is making it  impossible for Nigeria to function as a viable state.”

He further explained that he would not be agitating for sovereign state of Biafra if Nigeria was created by a Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa man.

“Nigeria was not constructed by a Yoruba man, if it were I would have accepted it, Nigeria was not created by a Fulani man, if that was the case who knows I might have accepted that, Nigeria was not created by an Hausa man either, Nigeria was created by a white man and named by a woman.”

“Nobody came from these ethnic groups, they never got together to say our name should be Nigeria. A white man determined that. I cannot get to England to  say to the English people I want to rename Liverpool, I want to give it another name, I am sure they will think I am mentally ill or unstable and put me in jail.”

“Now the problem is why should Nigerians or Africans  accept the name Nigeria,  which does not mean anything in Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa language,” he explained.
