Foreign Media Descends On Buhari For Killing Biafrans - BBC Leads The Way. by BiafranJesus: 11:38am On Jun 10, 2016
The world is finally speaking out against the brutal and unprovoked killing of Biafrans last month. BBC, Dailymail, Reuters and other international media have shown outrage and disgust at the killing of IPOB members.

It looks like the world is seeing reason with the Biafrans who want freedom from Nigeria.

Nigeria's military has killed at least 17 supporters of Biafran independence, according to Amnesty International.
The rights group called on Nigeria's government to investigate the deaths in the south-eastern city of Onitsha last month.
The Nigerian military described the claims as unfounded and misleading.
At least one million people died in the 1967-70 civil war started by Biafran secessionists. Protests have resumed over the past year.

According to Amnesty, some of those who died were members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), a group campaigning for Biafran independence.
Some had been shot in the back, an indication that they were fleeing the scene, Amnesty said.
Ipob says Nigeria's government is dominated by northerners and has not done enough to develop the mostly Igbo-speaking south-eastern parts of Nigeria.

Ok.


When are they declaring their b!afra?

When are the Yorubas declaring their Odua Nation/ western Nigeria?

When are the Niger Deltans declaring their Niger Delta Republic?

When are they declaring Arewa Federation cum Islamic Califate (excluding the xtain minorities)?

When are the middle Belters declaring their Central Nigeria?

Two days ago one pretentious op opened a thread asking why Igbos can't erase Biafra and move on. Can u imagine?
Anyway my my sister Kenny gave him a reply that says it all. Read;



""""""""I'm all for unity n peace provided the lopsided system of governance in this country is reordered to give autonomy to the federating regions of this country. Otherwise, every other thing will be a waste because some regions continue to bear the brunt of rape n destruction just to set others up. You really believe 13% is the cure for all ills? How about others pull their own weight n jointly contribute effectively to or better still, be responsible for the development of their regions? Is that too much to ask n expect?

They want Igbos to forgive Nigeria for the civil war and drop Biafra agitation,tell me exactly how u believe it should be done? Just to snap out of it when a mere rememberance day on 30th May met over 50 Igbos dead once again at the hands of Nigerian soldiers? You really expect the East to erase memories of the civil war? Why? Is it not an integral part of Nigerian history? Exactly why isn't this part of history taught to Nigerian children nationwide but they are rather taught about colonisation and the Uthman Dan fodio jihad n all such stuff? You expect memories of the war and millions of dead Igbos to be wished away like it never happened? Why? Did it not happen? Decent nations that have fought wars n stuff actually set up memorials, some even have museums set up for the purposes of remembrance so why is there a conscious effort here to 'erase these memories' like they never happened? You really think it will be of great service to Nigeria that say 40 years down the line, our children will understand d civil war to be a mere fable? What are u asking for really? That old Easterners forget the entire war or forget the unjustified deaths of children n d vulnerable?

When the marginalisation keeps happening right before our very eyes and are clear to see, how do u stop 'feelings' of being marginalised? How about demanding a stop to all forms of marginalisation as a prerequisite for peace? Is there a reason why d core security apparatus of this country doesn't have an Igbo person as one of the security chiefs? Yet you've got d Minister, COAS, DG DSS, ONSA, et al all from the north? Does that make sense to you? Where is d sense of balance then? How is marginalisation reduced to mere feelings when d President is clear on his intent to actually marginalise based on voting patterns? Does 97% n 5 % ring a bell?




I read somewhere in the news yesterday that the Court of Appeal reinstated 20 INEC staff wrongfully disengaged. Can u explain why those 20 were all from the South and about 16 out of the 20 were all from d SE/SS? Sheer coincidence? I'm certain u don't believe that.

Finally I see u had pieces of 'advice' for those from d South, East n North. Where's the West or aren't they part of Nigeria? Or they've got no problems?

For real peace, all fault lines must be addressed and resolved not forgotten or erased or swept under the carpet because they just remain right under the surface till they manifest in more terrifying proportions""""""

I know dude. I am only reinforcing a point. The old man need not be angry when a non biafran makes a statement like that. It is a given. I would understand his anger if it was a Biafran who made the statement. See my point?

Back to the topic, the Biafran issue is getting a lot of attention here in Germany.

For real peace, all fault lines must be addressed and resolved not forgotten or erased or swept under the carpet because they just remain right under the surface till they manifest in more terrifying proportions.

All of a sudden d world has awoken up to d fact u can't continue supporting a tyrant. In less than 24hrs the quad of very respected outlets of Premium Times. BBC, Daily Mail Uk and Amnesty Intn'l have all given their verdicts and compilation of human right violations against d defenceless 5%ers in top gear. Buhari's vindictiveness might make d realisation of d secession faster and d cessation of this contraption quicker.

The National Assembly should call for a referendum on the basis of our existence as a nation like the Brits are planning for 23rd June EU referendum and the Scottish one that held two years back. Things are getting out of hand. Nigeria should be restructured.

A situation where some people rejoice when terrorists kill up north and where some other people also rejoice when militants destroy petroleum infrastructure down south exposes the flaw in our psyche as a country and shows we just have to discuss the basis of our existence as a country. Let us stop deceiving ourselves.
