The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is
not happy that they are being described as pro-Biafra group
by the media, pointing out that they are Biafrans and not
trying to be one.
A statement credited to IPOB Spokesmen, Emma Powerful,
Mr. Emma Mmezu and Dr. Clifford Iroanya, indicates that
Biafra existed before Nigeria came to being.


The statement said that Biafrans and Nigerians have nothing
in common since they have different culture and religious
beliefs.
The statement claimed that if Biafra is removed, there would
be no Nigeria because it is the mainstay of the entity called
Nigeria today.


He further said that their detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is
aware of this fact and has sworn to die than to renege from
fighting for the total emancipation of Biafra.
“We don’t hear (sic) the same language, we don’t eat the
same food, we don’t have the same culture. In fact, if we
come to their land to practise our culture and religion, we
will be beheaded.

“Their women wear hijab, and Biafran women don’t, and on
the point that our women don’t wear hijab and we don’t
practice the same religion, they will see us as infidels and
then we will be beheaded. We are 100 per cent Christians.
This people are Muslims who see killing as a culture.
“In Biafra where we originated, it will be hard for our people
to kill a human being, because in our language, human
beings are called mmadu, which in English Language means
the beauty of life. Now you can see it will never work, the
only solution is Biafra.


“Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, further stated that there is
no regret in his dictionary, adding that he is ready to spend
a thousand years in the prison.“
He also said and will continue to say that, it is either the flag
of Biafra is raised up, or he is lowered in the grave.

While being strong for the pursuit of the restoration of Gods
nation, he wants the IPOB members worldwide to be strong.
He also said that “Pro-Biafra” means supporters of Biafra,
we are Biafrans, so we can’t be supporters of Biafra.


“We are not trying to secede from Nigeria. We are older than
Nigeria. You can only talk about seceding if Biafrans are the
ones that colonized Nigeria. But we are older than that
contraption. So we can’t secede rather we just want to go
back the way we were before the British came. It is Biafra or
nothing, Nigerians knows that,” the statement declares.
Highlighting the need for Biafra’s separation and self-
government, the statement frowned at the way Biafrans are
being killed in various parts of Nigeria, especially the recent
massacre in a community in Enugu State and the mass
slaughter that took place on May 29 and 30, 2016 at Onitsha,
during the 49th anniversary of the Biafra declaration.


“During the events in commemoration of the 46 years since
the end of the war in Biafra, for the umpteenth time civilians
members of IPOB were massacred between 29 and 30 May
in Onitsha, in Anambra State by the Nigerian military which
opened fire at the protesters. The number of deaths is
uncertain, since the army has removed several bodies and
seized the wounded.


According to Amnesty International, at least more than 40
were killed and more than 50 were wounded. “Opening fire
on peaceful members of IPOB and the spectators, who
clearly did not represent any threat, is an outrageous use of
unnecessary and excessive force that resulted in multiple
deaths and injuries.


In one incident, a person was killed after the Nigerian
authorities shot him while he was sleeping,” said M.K.
Ibrahim, Director of Amnesty International Nigeria.

What are they even saying?

And those Nigerians living in Ghana, USA, Britain etc are there because those places are part of Nigeria?

You need your head examined. Igbos residing in North or Yorubaland does not in anyway mean that Igboland is part of your Arewa Odua republic or that we want to share a nation with you lots.

You are not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, are you?

Biafrans left your Arewa Odua republic for you in 1967, we left your zoological towns and cities, but that didn't stop your blood thirsty fore runners from marching down to our borders flying the Nigerian flag, forcing your zoological colonial entity down our throats in war front and in genocidal proportions.

Ipob spreading lies and calling it ideology, Biafra older than Nigeria? Lol, no wonder they get killed by the army and they don't seem to understand why. I mean, which Nigeria will take this idiots serious with this stupid lies that they are older than Nigeria.

Loser, continue being deceived by lies and propaganda

who gave the particular region the name Biafra,is Biafra a native African name?
were the regions/people under the said Biafra ruled under the same government?
I just wish every faction can go their way peacefully and speedily.

fair enough point.
In all honesty Nigerians in those countries have some sort of visa or papers. Igbos in northern and Western Nigeria don't have any papers. They are there as Nigerians. When you have your biafra these Igbos automatically become foreigners and they will therefore need papers to keep living in Nigeria.
Nigeria sure ain't gonna be burdened by over 20 million biafrans. we might give papers to a few thousands. The rest must go back to biafra

Just like Isis trying to bring back the long dead great Islamic caliphate again, that is how Ipob think the can bring back dead Biafra again. But one thing about Isis is that they are resisted by many Muslims and the world. That is how ur agitation for Biafra is being resisted by the igbos u call saboteurs and the majority of Nigeria. If u have what it takes, come and fight and get it, because nobody will give it to u on a platter of gold. If u think that ur deaths in ur protest is the beginning, then u re just deceiving urself a. Remember, minorities always loose. We shall see

That is gotta media for you the keep mixing thing

Can someone or a group of people come from a nonexisting place? I have checked the entire Nigeria as well as the entire map of Africa and d world at large, there is no place, country or even any Area called "Biafra". Why are some people so Elusive in life?

You cant hand over sovereign state to area boys protesting for their own state. Where is their leaders political and native ones cos with out them nothing like biafra .

Good. That should tell them the amount of love you have for them, and a cue for them to try their luck in other 53 African countries.

Igboland will not continue sharing a backward country with alien Yorubas and their Islamic Northern brothers just so that few Igbos in Yorubaland and North could continue living there.

Its best they return home with their investments, the population and capital flow will be used to put our new nation on the right track.
