Recession: Untold hardship justifies my struggle for Biafra – Uwazuruike

Leader of Biafra Independ­ent Movement (BIM ) Chief Ralph Uwazu­ruike, yesterday, dis­closed that the present econom­ic recession in Nigeria that has brought untold hardship on Nige­rians, among other teething chal­lenges facing the country, has jus­tified his struggle to abandon the country and actualize the inde­pendent state of Biafra for over 17 years now.

Chief Uwazuruike also ob­served that the prediction by the United States’ military about pos­sible break up of Nigeria some years back is on course as he fore­sees the end of the entity called Nigeria soonest, noting that peo­ple cannot continue to coexist in a country that has failed the test of time with nothing working for the wellbeing of the citizenry.

The BIM leader in a state­ment by the Director of Informa­tion, Mazi Chris Anierobi Mo­cha, said that the resultant effect of the US Army’s prediction in­cluded the unabated insurgency in the North, Herdsmen’s menace, militancy in Niger Delta, Separa­tist agitations for Biafra Republic, the economic recession that had brought sufferings, Poverty and untold hardship on the citizen­ry and endless the looting spree by officials in government estab­lishments.

He noted that back in year 2000, the US had predicted that Nigeria would break up in in 15 years which correspondent to 2015 but the report was highly criticized by Nigerian leaders

He added, “That nothing is working in Nigeria today has jus­tified my Biafra struggle for in­dependence. I cautioned Nigeri­an corrupt leaders who criticized the US Army’s prediction of Ni­geria’s possible breakup in 2015 as prophets of Doom, never to re­joice because the breakup of Ni­geria into six Republics is not yet over, it is just around the corner”.

Chief Uwazuruike recalled that in an article written by Di­rector of the African Security Re­search Project in Washington DC and Guest Columnist of All Africa globe media Mr. Daniel Volman, this Nigerian scenario was pred­icated upon a possible war from 2013 noting that the article ob­served that it was the first time the African scenarios were included as part of Pentagon’s plan to cre­ate a new military command for Africa called the United States Af­rica Command (US-AFRICOM)

According to him, “The United States military had, in May 2008, conducted a war games test called Unified Quest 2008, to ascertain how its military respond to a war in parts of African including Ni­geria and Somalia. The five-day game was designed to look at what crisis might erupt in different parts of the world in 5 to 25 years and how the US might respond
