At least 100 people have been arrested in south-eastern Nigeria after a march supporting independence for the former breakaway state of Biafra.

Members of the Biafran Zionist Movement raised the Biafran flag and then marched through the streets of the region's main town, Enugu.

One of the group's leaders told the BBC that 500 people had been detained but a police spokesman put the number at 101.

Who made the above comment is nothing but lunatic

I was expecting this news.

The declaration was not the issue, this international spotlight is what Onwuka was after.
Now he has got it.

Nigeria missed it, by arresting him. Now, he has become a hero for self determination.

So madam wetin the the Biafra national anthem

i just read this news with great disgust. what is really wrong with this country, somebody says he is tired of your country and you are furious about it. BOKOHARAM is killing us. you have not arrested them, u re still telling us to go about our normal businesses, while people demonstrating peacefully for their self determination is being arrested.

i can see Nigerian government only listens to violent separatist and not peaceful agitators. one day, if not not then ultimately the land of the rising sun shall rise again, am just sorry for Chime Sullivan,anyway this is his last tenure, otherwise it would have told on him, let him ask Udenwa for tutorial.

COME BIAFRA COME!!! COME BIAFRA COME!!! COME BIAFRA COME

Biafra! At last!

Onwuka is protected cos he's a
UK citizen. I expect the british
embassy in nigeria to call the
nigeria government immediately
for his immediate release. Then
the next thing is to close all our
borders. Meaning that the biafra
immigration center will be
employing graduates now. I
should better prepare my CV.

Igbo are opprtunist in nature. Am sure Onwuka is a UK citizen bc if Nigeria is HOT for him, he wil find his square root to LONDON jst as Odumegu did n allow d ambitious IGBO's to die n experience hunger. I can't wait to join d NIGERIAN ARMY to fyt d war n manage biafran ladies. Bianca wil b gud for ma grand dad. As for u,prepare ur c.v as ma house boi.

I'm igbo and i think these clowns are a foolish joke and should find another way to compensate their unemployment and local government mentality.
99% of igbo families aren't discussing Biafra, they talking about how they're going to earn their daily bread, and this 'movement' and it's followers are a foolish blemish to the addressing of real issues in igbo land.

Now, the Police have arrested those who gathered to declare Republic of Biafra in Enugu today. According to news reports, 100 of them are currently being detained. Haba! 100 out of a population of how many millions

What I can deduce from the above is that, the average Igbo man/woman does not give a hoot about Biafra. What they want is good roads, security, potable water, employment for their young, regular electricity and good housing.

Summary is, good government will drown out shouts about the need for Biafra!

Gosh! I wish Nigeria could be the USA for just one day. I will join the army I swear.
After using Nigeria's money to bury that UGLY rebel warlord of an Abidjan coward?
Where was MASSOB then?
Phocking leeches!

Marriage is not by force!

President of Biafra was arrested by a police constable.

i can't believe there are still some people clamouring for biafra? do people never learn? what is the essence of biafra if its going to maim another 6 million innocent people? i am tired of our igbo brothers - where is the rationality in this march?

Biafran's fight is a good fight but those who called theirself leaders of biafra will run to Europe and stay while the nonentity will die for nothing, I think we should face our bussiness and fight for our future than dying for what you don't know the outcome, Thank you my brethrens.

Ooga ooooo

Make them go self, atleast news of drug and kidnapping go reduce for naija.....

Biafra is certain. But the problem wit the Igbos is that despite the fact that they have suffered so much oppresion under GEJ's regime than any other democratic regime, about 60% of them still assure GEJ of full support for another four year tenure of untenable freedom in Nigeria. Most of u guys are confused.
