The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has called on the Indigenous People of Biafra to immediately end its internal disputes, warning that the ongoing exchange of accusations and counter-accusations could undermine the broader struggle for Biafra's self-determination.

In a press statement signed by Edeson Samuel, the group, under the leadership of Uchenna Madu, appealed to IPOB's leadership to resolve its differences peacefully in the interest of the Biafran cause.

MASSOB stated that although it would ordinarily refrain from commenting on the internal affairs of another organization, it considered the matter significant because it directly affects the Biafra movement.

The organization expressed concern that the ongoing attacks, counter-attacks, allegations, and counter-allegations within IPOB were damaging the image of the organization and weakening the struggle for the actualization and restoration of Biafra.

"MASSOB calls for peace and Biafran understanding in the leadership of IPOB as a big family. Sheath your swords now and work towards a peaceful resolution of all internal rancour," the statement read.

The group further emphasized that IPOB, like MASSOB, has become a household name among pro-Biafra organizations and should not be subjected to actions capable of tarnishing its reputation.

Addressing the issue of leadership within the Biafra movement, MASSOB reiterated that there is no officially recognized title of "Supreme Leader" in Biafra, maintaining that the description "Supreme" belongs solely to God Almighty. The organization argued that any attempt by an individual to assume or accept such a title amounts to a challenge to God's supremacy.

MASSOB also recalled that on June 29, 2017, pro-Biafra organizations operating under the umbrella of the Biafra People National Council recognized Nnamdi Kanu as the "arrowhead" of the Biafra struggle, stressing that the coalition did not confer upon him the title of "Supreme Leader."

The statement concluded with an appeal for unity, reconciliation, and responsible leadership among all pro-Biafra groups, urging stakeholders to prioritize the collective interest of the Biafran people over internal disagreements.

The Directorate of State (DOS) of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a public statement distancing the Eastern Security Network (ESN) from a viral video allegedly featuring armed individuals claiming to represent the security outfit while issuing threats against both Biafrans and non-Biafrans.

In a communication signed by DOS Press Secretary Dr. C. Okadigbo, the IPOB leadership described the individuals in the video as "criminal gangs, militias, and terrorists" who have no affiliation with either the ESN or the IPOB self-determination movement.

According to the statement, the DOS said the video was part of a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and tarnish the reputation of the Eastern Security Network, which it described as a disciplined security outfit operating under the authority of the IPOB leadership.

The statement emphasized that the actions and threats made by the armed group do not reflect the values, principles, policies, or operational standards of the ESN. It further clarified that ESN does not operate any social media accounts independently and only communicates through official channels approved by the IPOB leadership.

"The Eastern Security Network central command under the control of the IPOB leadership, the Directorate of State, wholly rejects and disclaims those statements and the individuals issuing such threats in the name of ESN," the statement read.

The IPOB leadership reiterated that ESN personnel are trained under strict disciplinary standards and are expected to refrain from harassment, intimidation, criminal conduct, and human rights violations against residents of Biafraland.

The DOS warned that any individual or group using the name of ESN to threaten civilians or engage in unlawful activities should be regarded as impostors whose actions are contrary to the organization's stated objectives.

The statement also condemned all forms of violence, intimidation, and threats directed at civilians, alleging that the armed groups behind the video were acting as proxy militias seeking to undermine the reputation and mission of the Eastern Security Network.

The latest clarification comes amid growing concerns over the activities of armed groups operating in the South-East and the increasing circulation of videos and messages on social media claiming affiliation with various security and separatist organizations.

IPOB's Directorate of State concluded by reaffirming its opposition to violence and its commitment to protecting the interests of Biafrans through what it described as lawful and disciplined structures under its leadership.

You Be The Mugu, I Be The Master" – From Osuofia (2005) to the New Diplomatic Theatre of 2026

Back in 2005, many of us thought the famous Osuofia movie The Master had exhausted the storyline of "You be the mugu, I be the master." We laughed, enjoyed the comedy, and moved on.

Little did we know that two decades later, a fresh remake would emerge in the political arena, complete with new actors, new directors, and a new audience.

The latest production appears to be sponsored by what critics now jokingly call the "Sokoto DOS Diplomatic Entertainment Network."

The plot is simple.

Every few weeks, another set of glossy photographs appears online. Delegations are seen standing in front of famous buildings.

Handshakes are exchanged. Smiles are displayed. Press statements are issued. Social media is flooded with declarations of "historic diplomatic engagements."

The latest episode features Mike Arnold and several diplomatic enthusiasts posing for photographs around Washington, D.C.

Beautiful pictures.

Beautiful backgrounds.

Beautiful captions.

But one simple question remains:

What exactly has been achieved?

The Biafran people are not hungry for photographs.

They are hungry for results.

Diplomacy is not measured by the number of selfies taken in front of government buildings. Diplomacy is measured by concrete outcomes.

When IPOB Brazil, operating under the Directorate of State leadership, engaged Brazilian institutions, they did not spend months advertising photographs. Instead, supporters point to the reported recognition of May 30 as Biafra Resistance Day by institutions in Brazil as an example of tangible engagement.

Whether one agrees or disagrees with the strategy, the focus was on outcomes rather than publicity.

That is what many people understand as international diplomacy:

Building relationships.

Securing recognition.

Influencing policy.

Producing measurable results.

Not merely carrying prepared notes from one organization to another and reading them aloud.

History shows that no liberation movement was won through photo sessions alone.

No nation was born because delegates stood beside monuments and smiled for the camera.

No political prisoner was released because supporters uploaded enough group pictures on social media.

The reality is simple:

Pictures can inspire supporters.

Press statements can create excitement.

But neither photographs nor press releases can substitute for genuine diplomatic achievements.

If these engagements are truly historic, then the public deserves to see the fruits of those efforts in due course.

Until then, many observers will continue asking the same uncomfortable question:

Where are the results?

As the future unfolds, the answer will become clear.

And as always, time remains the ultimate judge.

Perhaps the future will vindicate the strategy.

Or perhaps future generations will look back and conclude that while the cameras were busy flashing, the objectives remained unchanged.

Only time will tell.

For now, many Biafrans remain spectators watching what appears to be a modern remake of an old classic:

"You be the mugu, I be the master."

Historical Note

The phrase "You be the mugu, I be the master" became popular through the soundtrack of The Master (2005), performed by veteran Nollywood actor and musician Nkem Owoh (Osuofia). In the movie, Osuofia plays a comic scam artist whose humorous song became one of the most recognizable catchphrases in Nigerian popular culture.
