101 Arrested Over Biafra Protests by eastman11: 4:32pm On Nov 05, 2012 |
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. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-20209365 |

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. 10 Likes |

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.

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. 2 Likes |

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'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. 28 Likes |

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! 11 Likes |

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. 6 Likes |

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. 3 Likes |
