A secessionist group in Nigeria, which supports US President-elect Donald Trump, has said it will hold a rally on Friday to mark his inauguration, the AFP news agency reports.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which wants the independence of Biafra in the eastern region of Nigeria, said in a statement that it was inviting people to a pro-Trump rally in the southern oil hub of Port Harcourt.

The group says it welcomes "civil and pragmatic democracy anywhere we find it".

The Biafra region unsuccessfully fought for independence in a brutal three-year civil war that ended in 1970.

IPOB has renamed its push for secession "Biafrexit", after the UK's Brexit vote to leave the European Union, AFP reports.

Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the brother of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, who has been held by the Nigerian government since October 2015 on treason charges, said Mr Trump had won their favour as he "supports the right to self-determination".

Separatist sentiments have grown in the months since Mr Kanu's arrest and sparked clashes with security forces that have since been condemned by human rights groups, the report says.

IPOB MUSCLE








WE LOVE YOU TRUMP/PENCE

I guess i was here

Hope my Biafra brothers know that Donald Trump has alot to worry about than this Biafra issue.

I wonder if you people know Donald Trump is elected to govern the people of America and not Nigerians.

American government knows the importance of Nigeria Unity.

And why do people believe so much Trump can divide Nigeria, where is it stated that it is the responsibility of American Government to dissolve a Nation.

I Support Biafra! Infact I so much believe that if Nigeria do not separate we might not overcome the problems facing us.

To achieve Biafra, the voice of Igbos must be One, as there are still some of the Elders and even governor's who do not support the struggle.

I know alot of u re gonna quote me, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. This is just mine.

Nawa ooo...

Yoloba don't give kcuf about weak, unpopular President Trump or a non existent Biafra.

Idiotic-POB are just sycophants.

Trump says America will be great again that doesn't sound like breaking it up or sound like a secessionists.

Men of character stand and change what they perceive as wrong in their society they don't runaway or seek to create a "perfect" society outside of the one they already are a part of.

Brexit is not the breaking up of the UK it's exiting a regional association based on the timetable to choose to fully join or fully disengage which the UK chose the later.

Idiotic-POB is fundamentally different from brexit and from Mr. Trump's idea of patriotism.

IPOB or Idiotic-POB is just about some few people who want to cash in on the long forgotten evils of civil war by spreading hate while gratifying themselves and seeking self-glorification thereby.

Idiotic-POB is more or less a political tool being used to a few politicians or sympathizers of the last administration in Nigeria for losing the election to now seek to destabilize the present government because if Idiotic-POB is not hypocritical the would've been rigorously pushing the secessionist agenda they claim to seek now when a man whom they claim to be their kinsman was the President which they didn't during is tenure.

Majority of the people of the South-East extraction whom they claim to be a voice for have started to speak out against the selfish agenda of the few promoters of Idiotic-POB as the view or wish of the majority of the people of that region. So much so that such a planned rally could not be staged at the South-East regional states but being planned to hold at a south-southern state of Port Harcourt.

Nobody is seeing him as a Messiah bro. He supports right to self determination unlike that man in Aso Rock.

People in India worship goats, lambs, cow etc and nobody's disturbing them.


What's your business with whom IPOB chose to celebrate?

They are his fans and supporters and have every reason to celebrate his victory as much as they're not breaking the law of the country.

Some of you claimed before the election that Trump will lose simply because IPOB support him. He won and you're still restless. Why don't you mind your business Mr man?

We're not running away bro. We want to be given our own environment that Lugard joined with others.

We are not his slaves, we want our territory back. Nah by force?

By the way, what has your man of change done about the continuous killing of people all over the country?

Have you seen how stupid and uniformed you're? When did radio Biafra open?
When did Kanu start the agitation?

It was right during the last administration but Jonathan being an intelligent and educated man ignored him. He wasn't popular until the Sheriff that developed EAR INFECTION WHEN NDA THREATENED him decided to arrest him to make a useless point.

Hahaha. South East spokesman.

Come and say this nonsense down here make them Lynch you.

You must be one of the lost indegines of kwara state

The FG will likely tell Trump to first of all release Oscar López who was arrested by the FBI way back in 198I and grant Puerto Rico their independence.

The excerpt below captures the situation.

"Oscar López Rivera has been imprisoned in the U.S Federal prison since 1981 by the U.S government for clamouring for the independence of Puerto Rico from the United States!

During protests, Puerto Rican activists burn U.S flags.

In 1981, the FBI arrested López Rivera and accused him of seditious conspiracy, use of force to commit robbery, interstate transportation of firearms, and conspiracy to transport explosives with intent to destroy government property.

A federal grand jury sentenced Rivera to 55 years in prison the same year, later receiving an additional 15 years after he tried to escape from jail in 1988.

Before he was arrested, Rivera was an active member of the FALN paramilitary group fighting to bring independence to Puerto Rico. In 1999, he rejected a conditional pardon offered by former US President Bill Clinton.

For some, Rivera is a political prisoner and a revolutionary hero, while for others — such as the victims of FALN attacks and their families — a terrist.

On June 10, the New York City Council, presided over by Puerto Rican Melissa Mark-Viverito, passed a resolution urging President Barack Obama to grant the 72-year-old clemency. “[Rivera’s] continued incarceration is unjust and serves no legitimate purpose,” Mark-Viverito said."
