Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, has told those agitating for an independent state to “forget it.”
Of the groups clamouring for sovereignty, the campaigns of Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) are the most pronounced.
They have even had the cause to clash with security agents.
Speaking in Abuja after receiving an award conferred on him by a coalition of over 80 civil society organisations (CSOs), Buratai said the army would not condone any act that could lead to the disintegration of the country.
He also promised that insurgency would soon be a thing of the past.

“Those individuals and groups that are bent on destablising our country I think they have to wait till may be the next three or four millennia for them to do that. That is, may be the next generation of officers and men will allow them at all,” he said.
“Having been given the millennium hero award, I want to call on all the agitators for separation and other acts of destabilisation, they better forget it, not in this era, not in this millennium.
“I want to say that we would continue to do our best to maintain security atmosphere that is needed as provided for in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. We have been tasked to defend our country.

“We have taken a number of measures to ensure that the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists who are on the run are finally cleared, many have surrendered, many of them have been captured.”
On his part, Olabode Adeyemi, executive director, African Media Roundtable Initiative, said onslaught led by Buratai against the insurgents has “changed the tide of war.”

We need Biafra and know human being can stop it as long as God is alive
is like Buratia is unknowingly making plans to also travel to London and remain there by divine hand until Biafra is restored before his eyes?
The biafra struggle is bigger than you sir, and if you wish to be dead before the actualisaton then RIP in advance.
No Man Burn Of A Woman Can Stop Biafra Restoration,biafra Is A Divine Mandate,
Sir, you are infinitesimally inconsequential to hinder the actualization of Biafra.
Oga, u ar wrong
Oga, don’t forget that your master made this kind of statement and where is he now? Maybe you want to tow his line, alright.
You’re not to be blamed for going after the footsteps of your ancestors like pharo of Egypt at his time against the Lord’s chosen Israelites. I don’t need to teach you the follow up consequences, rather you consult the world highest archive being the Holly Bible. And the salary of pharo then must be your wage soonest.
Your comment brutai doesnt count as long as this matter is.he is over rxited soon history will shame him

Dear brutal,you have to apologize the gods for the sleep of tongue for you have made a great mistake that the gods are not happy and will never keep quiet,God have restored biafra and no one will question the most powerful God, God’s case no speak,watch out.
Your comment..Baratai must see the strong Biafran nation before he die, by hanging himself or jumping to the lagoon. Buhari fall sick because Biafra is bacoming real, Baratai will follow suit.
