Revealed: How Pro-biafra Propaganda Misleads Nigerian Newspapers by Crystal70200: 1:35pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
On Tuesday, March 1, one of the most reputable Nigerian newspapers published an article titled “Pope advises Biafra agitators to be patient”. According to it, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) released the text of Pope Francis’ address to over 35,000 of its members who gathered on Sunday, February 28, at the Vatican City for the weekly Angelus. “Pope has warned their oppressors, the government and Nigeria military and their agents to repent, stop killing Biafra agitators or face the wrath of god that will be catastrophic.’ “The pontiff according to IPOB, welcome the need to firmly and unreservedly focus on negotiations and dialogue between governments and agitators all over the world including Biafra agitators and the government of Nigeria, like done in Syria which has brought the current ceasefire in the country, involving government and rebel forces, which has entered its fourth day,” the article read in part. However, Naij.com has gathered that the pontiff simply greeted some pro-Biafra protesters as well as believers from other countries who gathered in St Peter’s square that day. “I am greeting the believers from Gdansk, indigenous people of Biafra, students from Zaragoza, Huelva, Córdoba and Zafra, the young people of Formentera and the believers from Jaén,” he said. According to the real text of the Sunday Angelus address published by Catholic News Agency, Pope Francis neither defended Biafra activists, nor issued a warning to the Nigerian government and the military. At the same time, the article based on the IPOB’s statement says otherwise. Delivering his remarks, the pontiff spoke on Jesus’ “invincible patience”, explaining how God’s “unyielding concern for sinners” should provoke impatience in ourselves. Finally, the fact that over 35,000 IPOB members gathered in St Peter’s square last Sunday seems like an obvious exaggeration. Judging by photos posted by pro-Biafra protesters themselves dozens, not thousands of activists, were listening to the powerful speech of Pope Francis.
