On this showing, it is hard to see many Igbo intellectuals and critical thinkers supporting Kanu.

Yes,because the zoo does not give atmosphere for freedom of expression,the only thing it understands is violence,too bad.

But when the time is right,intellectuals will come out,for now,the awareness is what is. More important.

In my opinion, the awareness has been around for a long time. I've heard of Biafra since I was about 8 years old, now after about 3 decades, it's the same story. So, isn't 30 years enough for the awareness?

I believe everyone should fight for what they believe in, that's why I won't blame hardcore Biafra supporters, even though I'm not from any of the Biafria states.

To me, the whole "Nigeria" thing is a scam. The British did this to us and left us to deal with it. We are too divided to be together.

From when a central government is in place in Nigeria, only a certain region of Nigeria enjoys most of what our 'united' Nigeria has to offer, going back to Tafawa Balewa days.The same region has everything to lose if Nigeria splits. In other words, we are just being forced to be together only for the benefit of a certain region of the country.

Nnamdi did his best to create the awareness the Biafra people needed, but what's the point when he only gets media support from those that claim to believe in his dream? His people only supported by yelling on social media and TV. I'd expect a more mature approach versus screaming on TV and social media.

Folks died for Martin Luther King/Malcolm X's dreams, but in Nigeria, you're on your own. Everyone cares only about theirs.

So, where are the intellectuals that would risk everything for the same Biafra fight that started several years ago, even before some of the wailers here were born?

At we agree One-Nigeria is a SCAM.
Biafra may have been on for yrs,but this particular one is different because of the approach,the radio station,the offline protests,the intellectuals will come out to endorse it when the time is right,it's not something one can just carelessly do,when we both know these politicians are after their stomachs looking for appointments,they need to be sure.

If I may ask, who exactly are the 'intellectuals'? I'd assume most of us here are learned enough to be intellectuals in our respective disciplines. So, are we talking about some alien, foreign or heavenly intellectuals?

Am referring to our top men,politicians,those that if they say "yes",then know the shit just got real .

The Igbo intellectuals and businessmen don't give a damp about Biafra for now... Just the jobless online dudes killing themselves

The attention that is needed, has been created by Mr Kanu,with time all will be history.

They are people with intellect. People you have to convince with sound reasoning and not emotion. Right now, those people would look at Kanu and see that all he has to offer is hate-filled, fascist and supremacist hot air.
