MASSOB threatens to exchange Naira for Biafran currency

From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha

MOVEMENT for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has threatened to start exchanging naira for Biafran currency in Igboland.

Speaking in Onitsha, Anambra State, the MASSOB Anambra North Director of Finance, Mr Martins Ezeaka, said since the value of the naira has depreciated, the group may reintroduce the Biafran currency and make people use it in South East, as it did in 2011.

MASSOB former leader, Chief Ralph Uwazurike had on February 27, 2011 launched the Biafran currency, vehicles, motorcycle plate numbers and driver’s licence.

According to Ezeaka, “now that the naira has depreciated, it is to the advantage of Biafra currency because you can buy things with Biafran money at a very cheap price.

“We can now consolidate our finance sector with valuable economy to meet the world standard and we attribute this feat to our brain, resourcefulness and holistic approach to the struggle for a Biafran state.”

He stated that corruption was responsible for the disparity in the exchange rate of naira in the official and parallel market.

“It is corruption in the financial sector that made the naira to exchange for N200 officially and about N350 in the black market,” he stated further.

Also contributing, the MASSOB Director of Agriculture in the zone, Comrade Obaji Obaji, said Biafran land is fertilised naturally for enough healthy farm produce, adding that for now Biafra has food that can sustain it until a Biafran state is actualised.

“We now go into mechanised agriculture in places like, Adani, Igbariam,Atani, Nsukka, Abakaliki, Ogbaru among others,” he said.

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works).

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
