Crazy people agitating for Biafra – Uma Ukpai

The President Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association Incorporated, Rev. Uma Ukpai, on Wednesday lampooned those behind agitation for Biafra describing them as crazy people.

The secessionist group, Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, and the Indigenous people of Brafra, have been championing the creation of Biafra.

Uma Ukpai said those agitating for creation of Biafra at this point in the history of Nigeria show the level of madness, adding, however, that “everybody is mad; the difference is in the level of madness.”

Ukpai said these in his Office in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Wednesday.

“There will always be crazy people, even when people are seen to be normal. Whoever is agitating for Biafra shows the level of his madness, but everybody is mad, the difference is the level of your madness,” the cleric said.

According to him, everyone should be offered chances to lead, noting that the people of the Southeast have not lead Nigeria before.

He also gave an assessment of Nigeria, saying that he was disappointed that at 60, there were still divisive elements holding the country apart.

“In Nigeria we are all in a hurry to reach where are going to, so much so that we have no regards for others, no time for others and no love for others.

“As a nation, until we love one another, we cannot notice one another. Only when we love that we can develop,” he said.
