All,

It is with heartfelt appreciation that MASSOB and its leadership welcomed your restraint and solidarity toward MASSOB regarding the unsuccessful coup led by Uche Okwukwu and Prince Longinus Orjiakoh in a sponsored mission to destabilize and destroy MASSOB and its Biafra Actualization goal.

I believe that the cyber-terrorism that we have just witnessed from Uche Okwukwu and Prince Orjiakoh is a modern form of warfare against liberation struggles such as ours. I believe that the ultimate but seldom stated goal of these terrorists is to destroy the fabric of our Biafra liberation struggles. I also believe that it is both wrong and foolhardy for any Biafra liberation activist to consider cyber-terrorism to be “someone else’s” problem.

If you believe as I do, then you must join me in wondering why the community of liberation activists has not banded together more effectively to oppose these cyber-coupists and to loudly and vigorously expose those agents that cynically provide these cyber-terrorists with comfort and support.

Terrorism and coups are not new phenomenon. What is new is the international nature of cyber-terrorism. Today’s cyber-terrorists like Uche Okwukwu, Prince Orjiakoh, and their sponsors, have modern technology to help them, permitting rapid international communications, travel, and the transfer of monies; they can work with others of like minds across the international borders of the world’s nations.

More importantly, however, these agents receive extensive support from the Nigerian government and other enemies of Biafra Actualization. These terrorists use Nigerian weapons of terrorism. They have been trained in Nigeria and generally flee for protection and rest to corrupt law enforcement officials in Biafra and Nigeria.

Modern terrorism is a form of “warfare by remote control” waged against free minds and freedom-minded Biafrans who dare sympathize with MASSOB and its Biafra Actualization cause. In this kind of war, these coupists and cyber-terrorists see little risk of retribution directed against them.

What can be done?

First and foremost, Biafra liberation activists must acknowledge that cyber-terrorism is a “collective problem.” Everything else follows from this. When one Biafra liberation organization is under attack, the rest must understand that Biafra liberation itself is under attack, and behave accordingly. We must be allied in our defense against cyber-terrorists such as Uche Okwukwu and Longinus Orjiakoh.

Let me emphasize two propositions whose truth should be evident to all Biafra liberation groups. To insist that Biafra liberation activists negotiate with cyber-terrorists agents can only strengthen the latter and weaken the former. To crown with dignity agents based on cyber-terrorism and usurpation of power would devastate the moral authority that rightly lies behind the efforts of liberation struggles to combat cyber-terrorism and coups.

Secondly, every Biafra liberation group must work against the cyber-agents’ efforts to define and rationalize away cyber-terrorism and power usurpation. Genuine Biafra Actualization Panelists/Committees do not maliciously revoke attorney/client confidential privileges, and engage in malicious hear says. Genuine MASSOBians do not assassinate the characters of their leader and high profile activists in public. Genuine MASSOB officials do not hijack or hold hostage MASSOB’s outlined steps toward the implementation of its orderly steps toward Biafra Actualization. It is a disgrace that liberation activists would allow the treasured word “freedom” to be associated with the acts of these cyber-terrorists and coupists.

Third, we must turn the publicity instrument against the cyber-terrorists, and we must expose Uche Okwukwu, Prince Orjiakoh alias Ray Batubo, Nigeria, and other sponsors of cyber-terrorist agents against Biafra actualization, whenever we identify them. Let’s educate the whole world as to who supports, funds, aids, and abates cyber-terrorism against Biafra liberation struggle. I am convinced that this will make a difference.

Fourth, within each of our own organizations/groups, we must organize to combat cyber-terrorism and coups against Biafra Actualization in ways consistent with our democratic principles and with the strong support of our members and citizens.

The final word

In preparing for its own defense against cyber-terrorism and coup plots, MASSOB’s courage and perseverance has inspired those who love freedom around the world. MASSOB’s brave resurrection of Biafra after thirty-one years of death was a classic lesson for all free nations and freedom loving people that terrorism of all kinds can be effectively countered with strength, skill, and determination. These are qualities in short supply in many liberation struggles where activists thread freedom for security. Indeed, the great need in the world of enslaved peoples today is for men and women who stand in the tradition of Ralph Uwazuruike – strong, dedicated, and courageous.

Amanda,

Good post. Thank you Biafrans have realized that a major offensive was enlished by the anti-freedom supporters and cyber terrorists. I have pointed this out in my earlier post:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Biafrans,
Nigerian fighter have lost a major battle against MASSOB. The Nigerian side was led by Gen. Kwuokwuo and received the support of Maj Adult and a few other friends at the BNF. On the Biafran side were an array of technocrates and freedom seekers in Massob. The battle field was the cyberspace. The strategies used by the assaulting Nigerians included but not limited to (1) divide and rule,(2) setting Eastern minorities against the Igbos, (3)character assassination,(4) propaganda and (5) false accusations. Others are (6)publication of classified information, (7) lies and (8) breach on clients right to non-disclosure.
The Nigerian supporters in BNF apparently may be seeking to be seen fighting for her so that they may be accorded with good jobs in the future.

On the other hand, the unity, understanding and strong intelligence and counter-intelligence saw the Biafrans victorious.

However the Nigerian fighters have vowed to continue their assault and are now exploring new strategies for attack.

Luckily, the Biafrans have laid a solid fundation in the globe and have continued growing in grassroot support, people who have long been deprived of their right to freedom are now seeking to be part of Biafran freedom land.

The Biafrans have therefore issued a statement calling all members back to base for preparation against any futher assult on her. Their strategies shall now become classified information and shall never be published on BNF for the sake of its national security. The non-Igbos in Biafra, who are freedom wanting, have also vowed to fish out and punish any of its citizens that sell out again. They have agreed to become more active in other to claim their right in the freedom land.

igbondeewo reporting from cyberspace.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Ndeewoo Biafrans for a job well done.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All,

Supporters of Uche Okwukwu and cyber-terrorism in this forum (BNWF) are being fished out.. Evidence shows that Okwukwu and co were aided by some members of this forum. Trace the paths back and see!

Ndeewoo!! Biafrans. Unity is Strength.

Igbondeewo,

Excellent analysis. In due time, the aiders and abaters of Uche Okwukwu and Prince Orjiakoh who have camouflaged themselves as Biafra supporters will be exposed and shamed.
Because the quest for Biafra is a just cause, any vile and evil orchestration against its actualization will be successfully and precisely repelled. This forum is commited to that.

After the stench of the character assassinations, mudslingings, malicious slanders, divide and rule cyber-terrorism tactics had cleared, we will still embark on our Biafra Actualization struggle without flinching and bouyed as ever. Through the act of muddying this great board with trumped up scandalous fabrications aimed at character assassination and destabilization, the agents of Uche Okwukwu and Prince Orjiakoh felt a temporary feeling of smuggness. When the smuggness is wiped off their faces and the treacherous smoke clears from their beffudled minds, they'd realized that by aiding and abating these cyber-terrorists, they have made themselves the scourge of Biafra.

We aim to demonstrate to these cyber-terrorists and their agents that success is the best revenge, and that the ability to overcome obstacles waged by enemies is success. We are succeeding in this demonstration. Biafra Actualization is our rright, our reward.

After all the gossip from Uche Okwukwu and his fellow travelers, I have concluded that Uwazuruike and MASSOB were doing well until Uwazuruike started to build tacky and useless coalitions. Uwazuruike's first mistake was that he allowed Uche Okwukwu to join MASSOB. Contrary to what Uwazuruike said, I believe that Uche Okwukwu is a member of MASSOB. The second mistake was that Uwazuruike allowed Biafra Foundation to hijack MASSOB in the US. Now, whatever stupid mistake Biafra Foundation makes reflects on MASSOB. What is Biafra Foundation? What is the IRS status of Biafra Foundation? Is Biafra Foundation a Corporation? Is Biafra Foundation a Non-Profit Organization? What authority does Biafra Foundation have to collect so many thousands of dollars and have it squandered? Who are the principal officers of Biafra Foundation? There is now a scandal? If someone wants to sue Biafra Foundation, who is their receiving agent in Washington DC? Do they have a lawyer? Who is their lawyer? Igbo people and Biafrans are not stupid.

People who live in the United States should help MASSOB instead of hurting it. The fact that MASSOB was doing better without Biafra Foundation shows that the relationship between MASSOB and Biafra Foundation is a huge mistake. MASSOB should stand on its own and make its case. A fake "embassy" and a huge scandal started after MASSOB linked with Biafra Foundation is useless to Biafra actualization.. Biafra Foundation is just a bunch of wily old men and women who do not care about anyone but themselves. What has Biafra Foundation said to defend Uwazuruike or MASSOB so far? I support MASSOB. But, those of you who are wasting your breath defending MASSOB in this forum should also ask yourselves why Biafra Foundation is NOT defending MASSOB. Perhaps, they think that Uwazuruike is stupid. Biafra Foundation is secretly playing Uwazuruike against Okwukwu. They will support whoever wins. If Okwukwu wins, Biafra Foundation will support Okwukwu. If uwazuruike wins, Biafra Foundation will support Uwazuruike. That sounds like Ohaneze strategy to me.

"Rudolph,
I won't waste time explaining anything to you. If your simplistic mind interpreted my quoted statement to suit your ignorance, so be it. Those of you who are easily fooled and manipulated may believe that ignorance is bliss, but I tell you, ignorance is your ball and chain." - Amanda

That was before the war, or as you called it, 'the coup'. Now, things have to be explained not because I want it but because it is the only way to recover the lost moral authority.

Amanda,

If you really want to revive the struggle, start providing answers to questions Adaeze asked. If you have to visit Mr. Edwin Udenkwo, do so.

You and Damian should start telling us who this Adanma Madu is? What role does she play in the Biafran struggle?

IS SHE A MEMBER OF THIS MESSAGEBOARD?

Does she have friends here? Who are her friends at BF?

Her attack the 'enemy' strategy won't deceive reasonable people. She still has questions to answer.

The BF strategy of dismissing this messageboard and those who slave here day and night to advance the Biafran cause will no longer fly. If they have no computers at home, someone should quickly find them one and get them here to explain things. The time for BF to allow the 'pawns' on this messageboard to wallow in abject ignorance is over.

Their silence is not golden.

This is not the time to declare every opponents as enemies and hope that all will be well. The issues involved are too enormous to be dismissed with mere wave of hand.

I will be back tomorrow to make my own observations.

But just don't hope that with this your post, the matter is closed. Far from it!

The wind has blown and the bottom of the fowl is exposed.

Now is the time to tackle, once for all, the trouble with Igbos. That, to me, is at the center of these crises.

So, don't even try to cover things up as if the world has moved on. This is just the beginning.

See you later!

Peace!!!!

Is Adanma Madu a member of this messageboard? That is a million dollar question.

"Now is the time to tackle, once for all, ther trouble with Igbos. That to me, is at the center of these crises"--Rudolf Okonkwo

Typically, you are good arriving to such conlusions which evidently portrayed your character as insane when you demean your own people.

Let's be sincere here. What is it that you exactly want to kinow regarding Adanma Madu and Damian? About Uwazuruike, Okwukwu and the true story? Or, about Prince Orjiakor whom you know everything about?

Evidently, you have paraded yourself in exclusion negating the fact that Biafra as you envisioned could only be realized on the premise that forumites stop being keyboardists but taking to action in it's practicality.

But the question is, if one would ask, what have you done as a journalist, or maybe, as a reporter, addressing adequately the issues that relates to Igbo causes, never minding the fact that the Igbo issue and organizational effectveness is at stake; and what would one say that you have done to effect change, other than play the blaming game?

I wholeheartedly believe a lot more would be made of you when you start making sense and stop short of belittling your own people. I have lost my sleep in that regard.

For those Biafrans and Nigerians who have not understood, this is for you:

This forum has seized to discuss matters related to cyber-terror against Biafrans.

You are advised to channel your questions to the appropriate e-mail addresses. This forum is not a court of law for trial of Biafrans by non-citizens of Biafra. The body constituted to try and judge erring Biafrans will do that.

Particularly, Biafrans owe no explanation to non-Biafrans or one- Nigerian supporters for that matter. If you want to know more on the internal secrets of Biafra and Biafrans, join Massob and it shall be made available to you.

Rudolph where do you belong? Do you wish to perpetuate "cyber-terror" against Biafrans. Let us know.

Ndeewoo!!

"Typically, you are good arriving to such conlusions which evidently portrayed your character as insane when you demean your own people." - Ambrose

The man is pissed - which is justified. I am pissed too, and that is within my rights.

The trouble with Igbos is like a pregnancy some wish to cover up. It is exploding in everyone's face. And it will cotinue to explode until the root causes are identified and eliminated. No group of people living together or with a shared culture are free of trouble. So, why are you ashamed of tackling yours?

As for Igbondeewo, our resident Abacha, he has declared that no more discussion on "anything related to cyber-terror against Biafra" would be entertained here. PERIOD!

God save anyone who dare challenge his authority. Those who doubt him should recall how he banned Ohaneze from speaking for Igbos while Uwazurike was still going to them to get his SANs.

Now, he wants anyone who wants to know to join MASSOB. What a good time to recruit! And what a good strategy - seeking new members from those who due to the ignorance they have shown on this messageboard "are easily fooled and manipulated".

I will still make my observations, so help me God.

I remain,

Rudolf Okonkwo

Rudolf:

We have heard from Mr. Uche Okwukwu. We have also heard from Ms. Adanma Madu. If there is something that you know that you care to share, you should tell us right here and right now. I will do my best to give you a direct response to your questions.

However, just so that we are clear about my own position, it is not my business, and I never seek to discover what goes on in the bedroom of any man or woman. I am not interested in what goes on in Uwazuruike's bedroom or the bedrooms of any Biafra activists. My involvement in the Biafra struggle has nothing to do with Uwazuruike, MASSOB, or any of the other groups out there.

I am a Biafran, distressed over the condition of my people - the Biafrans and Igbo of Africa. My mission is simple. It is to help to free Nd'Igbo and Biafrans from the shackles and bondage of BiafraNigeria. As you ought to know, I was involved in Biafra matters before MASSOB came along. Even after MASSOB came along, my focus remained Biafra, not MASSOB. I am not a member of MASSOB or of Biafra Foundation. But, I have given support to both when asked. I will continue to do so for as long as I am able to determine that such support is useful. That is what many of us in this forum do. Most intelligent observers of this struggle would avoid spouting the reductionist and simplistic pawn v. King analogy that you have used to describe the relationship between the various groups of people that are involved in the struggle.

Let us assume, arguendo, that Ralph Uwazuruike and Ms. Adanma Madu had a sexual relationship. Need I remind any student of history that Martin Luther King Jr. had extramarital affairs too? Yet, it is only the unsophisticated that would consign King's work to those affairs.

Now Rudolf, I will answer your questions directly. You have bellowed,

quote:
You and Damian should start telling us who this Adanma Madu is? What role does she play in the Biafran struggle?
The answer to your question is that, like many of others,
1) I know that Adanma Madu is a Biafra activist, and in case your mind is in the gutter,

2) I have not met her in person


Now let me ask you a few questions, and hope that you will answer as directly as I have answered yours.

1) What is your role in the Biafra struggle, and are you playing it?

2) Do you know Ms. Adanma Madu in person i.e., have you met her in person?

3) Do you agree that a columnist is entitled to his independence, and has a duty to objectively discuss and report the events of his time precisely in the context in which those events are taking place?

4) What are the signs that an Igbo journalist is gagged by his employer?

5) Why do you think that mere pawns at BiafraNigeriaWorld are able to determine something as complicated as the role of certain people in the Biafra struggle?

6) Does it make sense that a journalist would go to mere pawns to learn about the roles of members of a serious secession movement?

Feel free to answer questions 3 - 6 in the abstract, i.e., without direct reference to yourself or your employer.

Rudolph Okonkwo,

You have never mattered, and you still do not matter in the scheme of things. I cannot overstress this. Those of you who have aided and abated Uche Okwukwu and Prince Orjiakor in implementing this unsuccessful coup to tarnish the reputation of the leader of MASSOB and those working closely with him, and the destruction of his Biafra liberation movement called MASSOB must be held accountable. Sidetracking this serious issue in your feeble attempt to give credence to the guttermindset and garbage spewings of Uche Okwukwu and Prince Orjiakoh--a tool they have used in carrying out their cyber-terrorism, will not get you anywhere. Rather, it will succeed in convicting you once again as a dangerous agent of cyber-terrorist in our midst. In which case, we will proceed to treat you as one. Remember, the fight for cyber-terrorism is a collective one. We aim to fight it as such.

Now, let me repeat my lecture to you which you have rightly quoted. "I won't waste time explaining anything to you. If your simplistic mind interpreted my quoted statement to suit your ignorance, so be it. Those of you who are easily fooled and manipulated may believe that ignorance is bliss, but I tell you, ignorance is your ball and chain."

I am not here to lend ammunition and dignity to the blackmails and malicious mudslingings of cyber-terrorists and vicious coupists. If you think that you would use this thread to promote such cyber-terrorist agenda, you are sorely and grossly mistaken.
I think you should heed Igbondeewo's warning to you. Whom the Gods want to destroy, they first make mad. A fly that has no adviser perishes in the grave with the corpse.

Through out your chequered history on this board, you have demonstrated clearly that you have nothing worthy to contribute on this board. I think you should desist from giving us wordy evidence of that.

Rudolf:

Please, do not misuse my post. The person that should give answers is Mr. Udenkwo and the other men who were present. This is just another case of men (Igbo men) creating a scandal and then putting the blame on a woman. If there was an affair between Uwazuruike and a woman named Adanma, why are you focusing on the woman and not Uwazuruike? You cowardly men always find a way to hide behind the skirt of a woman.

Damian,

1) What is your role in the Biafra struggle, and are you playing it?

Answer: I am not involved in the Biafran struggle as a specific event. I am interested in the events taking place around my world. I study each event and I decide how best to contribute in its shaping. The closer to home the event is, the more I take a critical look at it. I do so because the ones closer to home have greater impact on me as an individual. I do not, for instance, want my mother to live in a Biafran nation to be governed by the likes of Amanda and Igbonedeewo. My duty is to make sure that I help influence the events around me from my perspective of what I believe will guarantee the greatest happiness to the greatest number of people. It does not mean that I am right. Neither does it mean that I matter in the scale of things.

2) Do you know Ms. Adanma Madu in person i.e., have you met her in person?

Answer: I will not answer this question, for now.

3) Do you agree that a columnist is entitled to his independence, and has a duty to objectively discuss and report the events of his time precisely in the context in which those events are taking place?

Answer: Independence, yes, of course. But he or she is the one who decides what to discuss and what not to. A reporter on the other hand must go on assignments.

4) What are the signs that an Igbo journalist is gagged by his employer?

Answer: I do not understand this question. I have discussed the issue of Igbos and the media several times. I have presented what I think the solutions are. But if you are suggesting that someone is stopping me from writing anything, then, you are wrong. Sometimes, silence is a form of communication.

5) Why do you think that mere pawns at BiafraNigeriaWorld are able to determine something as complicated as the role of certain people in the Biafra struggle?

Answer: I do not know what is complicated in this matter. Once again, you are portraying people here as incapable of handling “complicated” issues. I do know however, that people in this forum have been treated as pawns, taken for a ride by people who think they are the real deal. People were kept in the dark concerning many things in this struggle and some that I spoke to are not happy about it. They might not come out here to say so because they are afraid of the likes Igbondeewo and Amanda. They want to be in the good books of these ‘warriors’. Sadly, I am not afraid of them and I care not if I am in their good book or not.

6) Does it make sense that a journalist would go to mere pawns to learn about the roles of members of a serious secession movement?

Answer: I am not here to learn what is going on within a ‘serious secession movement’. I am not that dumb. I am here to make sure that out here in the open, people take a critical look at things. In the inner room, people can continue to do what pleases them. I don't give a damn. But if it spills out, I will make sure that I take a critical look. And don't expect me to come to you to beg for information. I will not. I don't want to be tagged another Obasanjo's mole. Believe me, I am doing well standing out here in the rain.

**********

Any more questions?


Amanda, I will get back to you when you stop fuming! The toothpaste is out of the tube. Stop forcing it back inside. Begin the clean up. Ok, Mandy?

Adaeze, I am sorry. I am guilty as charged - whatever the offence is. For now, I just want your questions answered.

The criminal silence of Biafra Foundation and their BOARD OF DIRECTORS is a clear admission of guilt. This group of people are appearing more and more as a fraudulent organization put together to defraud and milk money out of unsuspecting Biafrans. Unfortunately to unsuspecting Uwazuruike, he got suckered by these fraudsters into believing that they have his Biafra actualization mission as their own mission too. Wrong.

I have noticed that Biafra Foundation board of directors whom Uwazuruike trusted has not opened their mouths just once to defend him, defend MASSOB or even defend the young lady whose name is being dragged through the mud for supporting MASSOB. Did members of this board not give Biafra Foundation $1000. Did Biafra Foundation thank them? Did Biafra Foundation give a report about the opening of Biafra House?

Now that Uwazuruike and the lady helping him with Biafra actualization are being insulted and accused of all kinds of things, why is Biafra Foundation not taking a stand in their defence? I will tell you what I think.
Biafra Foundation is part of the leak stories. Biafra Foundation used Uwazuruike and his mASSOB to make thousands of dollars. When that was over, and Nigerian government brought bribe money, they took it. Gave some to Uche Okwukwu and Orjiakoh and all hell broke loose. Now, they are hiding behind Okwukwu and Orjiakoh to do their dirty work for them while they pretend to support Uwazuruike. If Uwazuruike wins, then Biafra Foundation will claim that they worked for him behind the scenes, if Okwukwu wins, then Biafra Foundation will start working with him. Biafra foundation is doing divide and conquer. I heard it through the grapevine that many of the Biafra Foundation men are unemployed and feel too big to look for menial jobs. See why bribe is a temptation?

As for the young lady who is receiving the scandal from Uche Okwukwu, i think she was set up by Biafra Foundation. The lady has answered charges against her very well and named Mr Udenkwo as witness. It is chilling the way Udenkwo kept silence instead of speaking up to clear her and Uwazuruike. If Udenkwo really support Uwazuruike coming from the same village, he would have quickly spoken up for him. Udenkwo's behavior shows that he is stabbing Uwazuruike and the lady in the back. Why?

If we go by what we have heard so far, the lady was chosen by Uwazuruike to do important work for MASSOB. She is an Igbo woman. It looks like she is very independent minded too. Our men see such a woman as a threat. So the best thing is to silence her through sexual scandal. It looks Uwazuruike and MASSOB are a meal ticket for Biafra Foundation. They are not ready to let an Igbo woman stand in their way. They don't like her having too much power of say. They want to deal with Uwazuruike while deceiving him that they are working for him and his MASSOB. Shame shame shame on them.

I like very much what Regina said here.

"What is Biafra Foundation? What is the IRS status of Biafra Foundation? Is Biafra Foundation a Corporation? Is Biafra Foundation a Non-Profit Organization? What authority does Biafra Foundation have to collect so many thousands of dollars and have it squandered? Who are the principal officers of Biafra Foundation? There is now a scandal? If someone wants to sue Biafra Foundation, who is their receiving agent in Washington DC? Do they have a lawyer? Who is their lawyer? Igbo people and Biafrans are not stupid".

Biafra foundation, come and defend yourself that you are not a criminal 419 organization being used to bring down Uwazuruike and MASSOB!

I fully agree with Damian:

" I have no interest in the extramarital affairs of Biafra activists, nor in their marital affairs."

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...

This is not an interview for a position ina seminary, where perhaps such intimate details of someones life would be considered relevant.

And Rudolf clearly displays the smallness of his mind, agitating for elaborate details on the matter.


FOLKS, it is irrelevant, and has no bearing in regards to Biafra actualisation.

Rudolph,

I don't think you like Amanda at all. Do you have an interest in her? From the way I see her, she doesn't seem like she will give you affectionate attention. Going by your posts that I have read so far, you appear to have an obsession with her.

I have also observed that you do not want to hear about MASSOB or Biafra actualization. Amanda has clearly proven that she is a Biafra actualization activist. You are not and you jealous her for it. You are one of those men who do not like to see your Igbo women rise to distiction based on merit. Which kind Igbo journalist you be sef?
All you do is bad mouth Igbos who want Biafra and make fun of Amanda. Please give yourself some respect.

A bunch of Igbo men calling themselves Biafra Foundation have defrauded a lot of people including Uwazuruike and MASSOB. I want you to go and question them about all that we have said here about them and bring us the report. That is your job as an Igbo journalist who want to know the truth that counts. Stop helping cyber terrorists of Biafra actualization. Amanda thank you for this word, cyber terrorists.

Rudolf:

You are asking Amanda to give you information. Are you not a journalist? If you think that this is the story that will propel your career to new heights, then you should be the one to pursue the story. It seems to me that it is easy enough to locate the principals in this saga. It is incumbent on Uwazuruike, Udenkwo, and the members of MASSOB and Biafra Foundation to clear up this woman's name. Their silence is criminal, and it should be a lesson to anyone who is thinking about working with them in the future. They will use you and dump you.

Also, Rudolf, you wrote "[i]f you have to visit Mr. Edwin Udenkwo, do so." I was wondering about the first name of Mr, Udenkwo until you wrote about "Edwin" above. In his statement, Uche Okwukwu did not include the first name of Mr. Udenkwo. You have now given us Mr. Udenkwo's full name. Does this mean that you know this fellow? Are you sure you are not more involved in this story than you have told us so far? Are you part of this scandal?

Ijeoma, Damian, Igbondeewo, Adaeze, Ambrose:

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Rudolph is small minded and has his mind in the gutter. We should not waste time on him and his cyber terrorist agenda.

The dealings of two consenting adults is none of our business. Our business is that they work tirelessly toward our goal of Biafra actualization.

Any human being who is not a virgin has already committed sins of the flesh. Rudolph is no exception and he should know better.
I don't like the name of any Biafran woman being dragged into the gutter by people who are preoccupied with sex. Rudolph and Okwukwu should find a better lay and move on.

Let us focus on smoking out the cyber terrorists and strengthen our Biafra actualization cause. Sexual innuendos has no place in it.

Rudolf:

Thanks for your answers. I appreciate that you offered to answer more questions. You have made my day. I promise; I will keep the questions short and sweet.

Here are a few more questions for you. Please review the bolded statement below before answering.

"The time for BF to allow the 'pawns' on this messageboard to wallow in abject ignorance is over."

7) Do you deny that you made the statement above? If so, skip to question 9

8) Would you either clarify the statement or answer question 5 posed earlier?

9) Are you a columnist, a reporter, or both?

10) Would you like others to respect your privacy?

I have more questions. But, I prefer to wait and see if you would not mind answering them.

Two issues are being obscured by the hue and cry over who slept with whom and where i.e.

a. the allegations and counter-allegations of financial improprieties which are being traded by the Okwukwu/Batubo cohort on the one hand and the Uwazuruike cohort on the other. There are still more questions than answers outstanding on this issue

b. the statements allegedly made by Uwazuruike which seemingly connote that he regards his personality as implicitly co-terminous with the existence of MASSOB i.e. that he is, in effect, MASSOB or that he 'owns' MASSOB etc etc. These statements are yet to be clarified by Uwazuruike and they sound to my ears like the making of a personality cult.

This sort of language coming from Uwazuruike, coupled with his unilateral abrogation of the states and appointment of provincial administrators makes me very uncomfortable as to the kind of Biafra which he has mind.

Damian,

Let me state upfront that I have no particular interest in the sexual aspect of the story. It is not the big deal. The reason I mentioned it in my brief comment was that the only lead coming out was from that end of the story. I just asked Damian and Amanda to look more into that angle. I specifically mentioned Damian because Adanma contacted him. I mentioned Amanda because her attack on Uche was colored by her disdain for the sexual scandal he introduced in the story. Those who know me are aware that I don’t really care who slept with whom or why.

I will deal with the issues that concern me when I get to present my observations. My observations have nothing to do with who is right or wrong. I want to point out the trouble with Igbos as I have identified from these crises. Which I must say, is similar to the crises other Igbo organizations or groups all over the world face.

Now, to more of your questions:

"The time for BF to allow the 'pawns' on this messageboard to wallow in abject ignorance is over."

7) Do you deny that you made the statement above? If so, skip to question 9

Answer: The statement is still hanging out there. So, what is the essence of a denial?

8) Would you either clarify the statement or answer question 5 posed earlier?

Answer: As far as I am concerned, some people on this messageboard were treated as ‘pawns’. They have no idea where the kings and the queens were heading. They were left in absolute darkness about the affairs of a struggle they spend day and night advocating in the little ways they know. And I think it will be difficult for BF or any other Biafran group to continue to carry out their business in this manner.

9) Are you a columnist, a reporter, or both?

Answer: I am a columnist. I comment on issues I care about. It may require going to functions and interviewing people. It is all my call. I do not have to do anything I do not wish to do. I can sit down at home and comment on things for the rest of my life.

10) Would you like others to respect your privacy?

Answer: Oh, yes. But is that realistic for any public figure in today’s world?

***********

Look, I do not want it to be interpreted that I am interested in what happened in someone’s bedroom. I know many people want to forget about Adanma. And I think I know why. If it makes you happy, forget about her. Remove her from the whole equation.

Still, what is stinking is still stinking.

I specially want her out of the equation now so that people can focus on what is important. For some weird reason, people have conveniently forgotten other issues in this only to hammer on Adanma. In any case, she wouldn’t have been a major issue if Uche did not mention her in his reply to Ralph. And if she did not splash a letter out here exonerating herself, she wouldn’t have attracted more attention.

A time will come when people will have to explain what they know and when they knew it.

Sorry, I won’t be able to take any more questions from you for now. I want to prepare my observation on the mind of the Igbos and the trouble with that race based on the exchange of mails we have witnessed. When I am done with that, I will gladly take more of your questions.

****************

For Leo, Eno Udoh and Ijeomaannutu, I beg you three to listen to Madame. Be good students for once. Madame said I have never mattered, and I still do not matter in the scheme of things. So why are you guys giving me headache with your little distractions? If you three are not careful, Madame will ground you all for one full week. Which means, no TV, no Internet and no chance of listening to Radio Biafra International. You know, shedding tears does not move Madame. So students, behave now. When in doubt, recite these words from the mouth of Madame.

"Through out your chequered history on this board, you have demonstrated clearly that you have nothing worthy to contribute on this board. I think you should desist from giving us wordy evidence of that." - Amanda

Please guys, help me to help you. I am addicted to the urge to display evidence of my worthlessness. Ignore me and I will show less of this evidence.

Happy New Year!

Damian's question to Rudolf
3) Do you agree that a columnist is entitled to his independence, and has a duty to objectively discuss and report the events of his time precisely in the context in which those events are taking place?

Rudolf ;
Answer: "Independence, yes, of course.But he or she is the one who decides what to discuss and what not to .A reporter on the other hand must go on assignments".

--------------------------------------------
Did somebody say independence? I invite you all to read below and tell me how independent such a journalist as below would be.


---------------------------------------------

Rudolf writting under the handle dr.damages

"As an issue of principle, this was how Rudolf looked at it.

Say, Rudolf believes in a strong defense as a principle... Rudolf will do anything to maintain a strong defense. What Rudolf will not do however, is to toy with nuclear weapons. Why? Because Rudolf knows that suicide is not the best form of defense. Dr Damages, on the other hand will toy with such.

Rudolf would rather be in pissing out, than be out trying to see how to piss in
".

---------------------------------------------
For most discerning people it should be clear that you cannot contribute to any anti establishment struggle if all you do is aim at being a part of the system. Folks let's direct our attention to the more pressing issues at hand. While we are calling for the restructuring of MASSOB let's not forget the state of the pro actualization movements in diaspora especially the U.S. I will address this in my next post.

ARE REVOLUTIONS ONLY FOR WHITE MEN?


The struggle for Biafran actualisation can really be surmised as the Biafran revolution, and this revolution was born under the aegis of Odumegwu Ojukwu in the Ahiara declaration.

It is a fact, that without the assistance of the UK and Egypt that the Nigerians would never have successfully won the Biafran war. This was the initial response of the West to the thought of a Black revolution...

When George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson wrote the American declaration of independence and started the American revolution, to the British they were the traitors. Yet now, we and the whole world praise the American revolution and its espousal of freedom for all.

And yet, we who reside in our own native land, which has been twice stolen from us , first by the British imperialists and later by the neo Nazi Nigerian government, we are accused of SECCESSION in our own NATIVE LANd?

Why can the world not stomach a revolution of the Black man?? Is this an exclusive preoccupation of white gentlemen smoking cigars by the fireplace on a cold winters night?

Cannot they see, that although my people do not possess these armchairs, but might instead be sitting upon a stool in a mud hut, with other elders cosulting on the environmental degradation of the land, that these conversations are just as valid as theirs and these lives as valuable.

Multinational oil corporations have made hundreds of billions of dollars in the Niger delta, and these people lack the BASIC AMENITIES of life/( See BBC Business December 29 2001.)

I keep thinking, that the real revolution is to stop this wanton destruction of our environment which has not helped our people.

I keep thinking, let Chevron, Shell, and all of them go; these companies are pleading innocence, and ye
