Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has praised some actors in the Nollywood industry for their exceptional patriotism in the struggle for the actualisation of the Republic of Biafra.
Kanu, in a statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, singled out Flavour Nabania, Yul Edochie, Fredrick Leonard and others who he said had acknowledged his efforts and risks towards liberating his people from the shackles of bondage by Britain and her partners.
Describing the actors as heroic Biafra celebrities, the pro-Biafran leader assured them that Nollywood would be the best investment when Biafra is restored.
The statement reads: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, sincerely wish to thank our brothers who considered it wise to acknowledge efforts and risks by our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to liberate our people from the shackles of bondage which Britain and her partners in crime lumped us into.
“Our peace-loving leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has since appreciated this encouraging acknowledgement by Flavour Nabania, Yul Edochie, Fredrick Leonard and others who have remained exceptional in their patriotism to our native land unlike some of their celebrities who rather display enviness and jealousy towards Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.
“At the same time our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said #Umunnem ji si nu Ike anyi Nile ga ejikor aka ma nweta Biafra. He thank you people with humility and Flavour Nabania + Yul Edochie + Frederick Leonard.
“IPOB wishes to join our leader in appreciating these three actors and patriotic celebrating. Our leader Mazi Nnamdi promises that the Nollywood industry would be the best investment when Biafra is restored.”
