Prince Emmanuel
Kanu a.k.a Fyne Boy is the younger brother of the leader of Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB).
He spoke on
the labeling of Ndigbo the most foolish tribe in the world by the founder of
Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief
Ralph Uwazuruike and his alleged link to the disappearance of the IPOB leader,
Nnamdi Kanu.
What do you
have to say about the allegation by MASSOB founder, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike that
IPOB was founded on falsehood?
I think
anything that is genuine, remains very genuine. Just like in the Christendom,
you don’t force people to come and worship God, but when people see miracles
take place, they tend to believe you. So, in the case of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB,
people have seen the genuineness of the IPOB leader and the steps he has so far
taken. So, it is up to the world to tell if Nnamdi kanu is doing the right
thing or not and not Uwazuruike because as a blind man, he cannot see anything
good that is coming to Biafrans. Again, as far as we are concerned, Uwazuruike
is nobody in Biafra land.
Your brother
was accused of being a mole, lured into the struggle by the Federal Government
to truncate the struggle, is that right?
If Nnamdi
Kanu is not genuine, how come he established Radio Biafra when Uwazuruike was
unable to fund the one he established earlier? Nnamdi Kanu announced his coming
to Nigeria for a change and the agents of the same Nigerian government
Uwazuruike said bought him over arrested him. Have you seen the foolishness in
his reasoning? When the IPOB leader arrived the country, he was not prosecuted
but persecuted and kept in prison for so long. Nnamdi Kanu never bargained for
his bail and that is exactly what happened.
You spoke
about Nnamdi Kanu establishing Radio Biafra, but Uwazuruike claimed he was the
one that did and employed your brother who he alleged betrayed him. What’s your
reaction?
Uwazuruike
you know is always economical with the truth. The whole world knows that he
established his radio station in 2006/2007, which was closed after six months
because he was unable to fund it. In fact, Nnamdi Kanu had to leave London to
meet Uwazuruike here in Nigeria, Uwazuruike refused to release money for Radio
Biafra and my brother had to work and used his personal money to sustain the
radio station until it became difficult for him to do that. After waiting for a
long time to see if Uwazuruike could bring money to revive Radio Biafra and
nothing was coming forth, my brother established Radio Biafra, this time around
under IPOB and not MASSOB since the one under MASSOB was dead. Uwazuruike
should hide his face in shame because he was unable to pay his workers and take
care of other exigencies of the station, which was the major reason Radio
Biafra under MASSOB shut down.
I heard
Uwazuruike said he had made money before forming MASSOB, but I want to let the
world know that Uwazuruike was a poor man even when he came back from India, he
was nobody. He formed MASSOB for the sole purpose of money making and he truly
turned the organization into a money making machine and not to actualize Biafra
as he is falsely claiming. While Uwazuruike used MASSOB to collect money from
the Federal Government apart from the ones contributed by members he pocketed,
on the other hand, my brother refused to be given oil wells and also refused to
collect money, that’s where the great difference lies between them. Uwazuruike
always has evil intention; that was why he kidnapped my brother in 2009 and I
gave him 24 hours to release him and after releasing him, he invited the DSS to
arrest my brother at the Ojukwu Bunker which they did, all in an effort to
ensure he was eliminated.
Within the
circle of the Biafran struggle, your brother is seen as a usurper who came to
reap where others sowed. Is it true?
I know the
person that is saying that, specifically it is Uwazuruike. It is not right
because we all are agitators; every single Biafran is an agitator depending on
how you want to agitate. Some of them agitate fraudulently and that is the difference
between Uwazuruike and Nnamdi Kanu; it is as simple as that. Everybody who is
genuine in the struggle has one thing at the back of his mind and that is to
make sure that Biafra succeeds. In fact, that is the bone of contention between
Uwazuruike and Nnamdi Kanu. The IPOB leader refused to be compromised, he said
‘no, I will not be part of what you are doing, if you want us to organize
Biafra genuinely I will work with you and realize Biafra’, but when he saw that
Uwazuruike used the struggle for money making, he said ‘no, I will not work
with you.’
What people
do not know is that Uwazuruike has been compromised a long time ago. No freedom
fighter goes about building hotels and estates; no freedom fighter goes about
campaigning for his oppressors. Apart from the ones he did before, it is on
record that he has of late been holding meetings with politicians especially
those from the Northern part of the country, what is it for? Those meetings are
they in the interest of the struggle or for his personal gains? That was the
case at the tail end of the Goodluck Jonathan administration; he was meeting
government officials and collecting money from them, it is not done anywhere.
If you want to be a freedom fighter, you have to focus on your people not the same
people you say you have rejected, you still go behind to dine and wine with
them as Uwazuruike has been doing, it doesn’t work.
Is it true
that IPOB brought falsehood to the Biafra struggle as alleged by Uwazuruike?
I think that
is a very wrong assertion that came from Uwazuruike, although everybody knows
that he criminalized the Biafra agitation until when Nnamdi Kanu came on board
and who of course everybody believed in. And from the steps so far taken, the
whole world knows that Nnamdi has truly taken genuine steps, steps required to
realize Biafra. So, whoever that is saying that Nnamdi brought falsehood to the
struggle, I will expect that person to tell us the meaning of falsehood in this
particular instance. So, to me, I think what Uwazuruike has done again is to
exonerate Nnamdi in the real sense because if the IPOB leader has a doubtful
character as Uwazuruike and is not following the right track at the right time,
I don’t think anybody will talk about him, so, he has set the right pace, which
everybody is following.
What do you
make out of statement credited to the MASSOB leader that the Igbo are the most
foolish tribe in the whole world?
I think he
is the only foolish Igbo man we have so far come to know. How could someone in
his right frame of mind say the Igbo is the most foolish tribe in the world
when in fact they are the most resourceful, enterprising and intelligent
people. The truth remains that when Uwazuruike was deceiving his Igbo tribe
with his abracadabra called MASSOB and the people followed him without
questioning where the money they were contributing was kept, for Uwazuruike,
they were wise people. But when the people had better alternative in IPOB and
jettisoned him and his ways, they became the most foolish tribe in the world,
that is Uwazuruike for you, an ingrate who decided to insult his people he rode
on their back to become what he is today. Having said that, that shows you to
what extent Uwazuruike has gone to collect money from the Federal Government to
rubbish his own people. Have you heard of a Hausa or Yoruba person no matter
the level of provocation dressing their tribes in such robe? This is to tell
you that he is not a genuine freedom fighter, he is only fighting for his
pocket and when the people said no to that, they became foolish. If we have a
foolish man in Igbo land, it is Uwazuruike.He is a drowning man; I’m even
confused in all of this because he is no longer the leader of MASSOB, but that
of BIM. For all we know, he has been expelled from MASSOB, the current leader
of MASSOB is Uchenna Madu. So, having lost out even in his organization, he is
now going about condemning his own people to see if he could make money out of
it because he is a Federal Government agent.
Is there
anyway Nnmadi Kanu could reconcile with Uwazuruike?
Well, if the
Nigerian army will release Nnamdi Kanu from where they kept him, I don’t see
any reconciliation coming because Uwazuruike is a saboteur; he sold my brother
to the Federal Government. He had a hand in the military raid of our country
home because he collected huge sum of money by the Federal Government for that
purpose.
What next
for the Igbo struggle?
Uwazuruike
must go into exile whether he likes it or not for betraying his people and at
the same time insulting them. Nobody in his right senses will insult his people
the way he did, that tells you how far he has gone to rubbish his own people
for the sake of money. He is the man that will tell few of his followers to use
Biafran international passport and Biafra vehicle number plates while himself
will be using those of Nigeria, have you seen this type of human being before?
Like I said, at the appointed time, he must go into exile because he is not
worthy to live in Biafra land.
