aminaadamu:
“Biafra is our religion and on this radio station, is where we worship.” Those words which are beamed over the airwaves each day by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the host and director of Radio Biafra, is about to change. Biafrans, who up until now, did not have a physical venue apart from the radio station to worship, can now worship at a venue given to those who live in the Scandinavian country of Sweden.

While the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) members all around the world, welcome this generous act by the Swedish government, the establishment of a first ever Biafran Church, at least in this generation’s time, raises a litany – literally – of questions.

Biafrans are traditionally inclined to Abrahamic faiths and teachings which are expressly evident in their ways of life. They are among the few people in the world that circumcise their male sons on the 8th day. And by the names Biafran communities and people bear, they give praises to the most high Chukwuabiamah.

But with the arrival of the Christian missionaries together with the colonialists, who brought with them, their version of Christianity which Biafrans were made to embrace, the Christian faith has replaced the Abrahamic faith of old in Biafraland, albeit currently infused with Yoruba teachings and liturgy.

Should they copy Yoruba Pentecostalism or should they be modeled after synagogue meetings with a few tweaks here and there to suit our people?

So before the people in Sweden kick off their Saturday or Sunday meetings, how will the Biafran Church be organised? What will be the liturgy? Considering our history and tradition as people who naturally worship the one and only true Chukwuabiamah, the Chi ukwu of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in what way are Biafrans going to praise him? Will they come into meetings with a full rock band-set as is wont to be found in Pentecostal churches or will they sing praises to him from old church hymns taken from various denominations?

The new Biafran Churches which will soon spring up are expected to have a liturgy and organisational structure that is the same across the board, no matter the location and should be such that when Biafra is restored and a temple is finally built, as the Biafran leader, Mazi Kanu states over the radio, all the churches will come under the direction of a central body in Biafraland. And to achieve that structure, priests/pastors/ministers have to receive necessary training. But for now, those who will minister the new church in Sweden and others which will likely spring up shortly, should have a basic training and an idea of what direction the church is going and should endeavor to observe to a reasonable extent church doctrines and teachings.

Form Biafra and u will definitely be wiped out! U guys should stop playing with fire. Settle down and let's make Nigeria work. We r more powerful together than divided. A word is enough for the wise.

zendy:


Well going by history. The Igbos once left but you Nigerians fought for 3 long years to bring us back. I have no doubt in my mind that when we leave the second time, you Nigerians will do the same only this time,it will be a fight to the finish. These Igbos must really something out of this world for Nigeria to be committing huge resources and lives to keep us in Nigeria? As regards Church of Biafra,the idea isn't novelty. England has the Church of England or Anglican church so I don't see why Biafra can't have something along that line. I support freedom of religious expression however,getting Biafra for me is more important than the Church

What often amaze me is the fact most of these Biafran zionists are resident abroad, particularly in the West. How about you take your struggle to the door steps of Igboland?. You see them make incoherent, frivolous and unrealistic comments just to incite the good and hardworking Igbos against the Nigerian state because they won't be around to bear the brunt should their baseless assertion lead to a violent unrest. What does a Biafran church even mean?.

Please before Biafra warriors on NL come for my jugular I'm Igbo and a proud one.

MeandSum:
yeye people. I'm 100% sure the Swedish government has absolutely nothing to do with this "radio station".

Circumcision is nothing exclusive to the Ibos.

Realconfo:
I don't understand why people who clearly don't like these people come against their plans everything they read about it. You should be encouraging them not telling them how it is a bad idea if you don't like them in the first place. Make up your mind, do you want them to go or stay? If Biafra really want to leave, I wish them success and Good luck.
