'We smote their parents, their grandparents without let up. We pursued them home and continued the slaughter. We killed at least a million children before they even had a chance to grow. We commited the worst of iniquities against the young - we seized the bread in their mouths, and watched them starve to death.
There should be one day at least when we are reminded of our beastliness. There should be one day for the walking wounded from the carnage that was "Biafra" to turn their backs on all monuments of camaraderie with the rest of us, go indoors and mourn for that child that had to close his eyes and bite into a meal of a roasted lizard as his pulverised brain closed in on itself from starvation of water and sodium.
If we cannot mourn for the men and women of Igbo land because of the selection of memories we would rather incline to, at least mourn for the children who never had a say about killing a Sardauna or going to war'

#FullStory
"I cannot cry more than the affected Igbos, and to be honest, try as hard as I might, I know I will never be able to reach the uttermost depths of the Biafra angst.
My people did not suffer a genocide at the hands of their own supposed compatriots or fellow nationals. It doesn't bear contemplation.
What Nigeria did to the Igbos was genocide. All protocols and parameters defining genocide were duly observed. It does not matter who threw the first salvo. It matters even less that a few Igbo soldiers may have been recalcitrant hitherto.
We will never have a nation until we make due reparations to that one child Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle's "kill everything that moves" offence so cavalierly cast to the abyss of degradation and nothingness.
No nation worth its name decorates a soldier who makes sport of the prospect of killing a little child. A non-combatant innocent who did nothing to get the lot cast for it.
That we have not so far down our history - 50 years and counting - indicted just one Nigerian soldier, even if symbolically, for war crimes as happened at Asaba is beyond a tragic disgrace.
We are a collection of listless people in a riotous village square which we have audaciously designated a nation space.
Daily we birth children into the stock degeneration we refuse to repair. We have indicted our grandchildren unborn yet for the crime our grandfathers could have chosen to not commit in the first place.
This present generation is in the best position over others to begin the process of redress of the crime Nigeria committed against a component of Herself. We are aloof enough, having survived the more principal actors in the atrocity.
Shaking hands and mouthing "No Victor, no Vanquished" did not cut it then. Even now it is nothing short of a crime to so insouciantly gloss over the evil that was the Nigerian civil war.
It would cost us less than we fear to at least as a gesture of good faith, institute a national day of saying "Never again"...the Biafra Day. Our Nigerian Memorial Day.
That day when every human who fell from either side would be held in remembrance just so we can say with some decent level of honesty that indeed they were not vanquished by the fate of having been born Nigerians, and that death was not the victor over them.
Anything short of this, and these ones would remain in the state of perdition our collective prejudice, bigotry and callousness doomed them to in those 3 years of sheer depravity.
We slew our kin over a quarrel in the homestead. While we could in retrospect, defend our deed by attributing it to the menace of darkness, it would be more unconscionable a travesty that we would splash a lie over the blood at the crime scene just so we can go on and be merry by noontime.
Victims of genocide get some reparations of sorts - from acknowledgement of their victimhood to material compensation. That is the only way to symbolise contrition and future security. Anything less is papering over a decapitation site with talcum powder.
I am in full support of the stay-at-home resolve by supporters of Biafra and the Igbo Cause slated for 30 May, 2017. I would be personally chagrined on behalf of any self-employed Igbo who would open for trade on this day. I will not patronise them for any reason, and I would implore anyone with whom this conversation I have recorded here resonates to not patronise them.
In any thinking society such would be heckled for their lack of spine and purpose. Let your denial of patronage of such spineless persons be your own voice raised in condemnation.
We smote their parents, their grandparents without let up. We pursued them home and continued the slaughter. We killed at least a million children before they even had a chance to grow. We commited the worst of iniquities against the young - we seized the bread in their mouths, and watched them starve to death.
There should be one day at least when we are reminded of our beastliness. There should be one day for the walking wounded from the carnage that was "Biafra" to turn their backs on all monuments of camaraderie with the rest of us, go indoors and mourn for that child that had to close his eyes and bite into a meal of a roasted lizard as his pulverised brain closed in on itself from starvation of water and sodium.
If we cannot mourn for the men and women of Igbo land because of the selection of memories we would rather incline to, at least mourn for the children who never had a say about killing a Sardauna or going to war. The voiceless ones of Biafra.
For the sake of these ones, do not permit the Nigerian government to molest Igbo people who choose to sit in on "Biafra Day". Speak truth to power on this matter. The Nigerian Police should be enjoined to support peaceful gatherings in chosen locations at every town where Igbos reside across Nigeria. If we would be decent, this should be done. Our government is impervious to the term, Decency. We should not follow suit.
We cannot guarantee the security of any Igbo person who chooses to gather in a rally tomorrow. We cannot make adequate restitution to the slain Voiceless of Biafra. We are not beholden to support IPOB, MASSOB, Igbo politics or the Igbo agitation in any way. We are not obliged to acknowledge what went on during the civil war for the genocide it should be termed.
We should at least not rub the salt our Confederate army withheld from the constitution of these Voiceless of Biafra into the gaping wounds of their successors by mocking the call to rememberance.
Do not lend your voice to the Government on this one. Once again the Federal Government of Nigeria is perched on the wrong side of history. Do not join them there. Separate yourself from them.
Thank you All." - Temidayo Ahanmisi

I have always gotten along personally by assuming it's not Nigerians that killed Biafrans but demons following orders in the name of service. No Nigerian I know today would have killed a Biafran. I hope one day we will reach the point where we can genuinely value human life. Till date, people continue dying in silence in North and South of the country.

Tomorrow is the day, anticipation is peak. I hope the biafra people can just make this peaceful and there would be no cause for alarm.

I pity those innocent kids who didn't deserve to die.

op I know u just want another public holiday, me self..!!

God bless those who bless Biafra and curse those who curse the rising sun!

they are willing to die for a cause that is not "just".

leave them be, only the gullible ones won't see that people are dying.
see it based on choice, not all the Igbo's want Biafra, they believe that KANU will be their god and all of them (people) will be the president so that they all will be rich, I don't even know if that is possible, so if Biafra is created and the other little tribes that joined them start clamouring for leadership, and they are denied cause they didn't fight for Biafra, what will happen again they would split up..! if I were the president I would give them only a very small portion of land towards the sea, no oil (never) and that's all, there we go Biafra..!


Biafra are just a group of backstabbers whose political leaders have bribed them to shout Biafra, just to cause confusion in the state(Nigeria) they will then take advantage of the situation..

ha I got a part of the puzzle..KANU is not the one leading Biafra he is just the figure head, lol, I think I am beginning to see who controls this people I can see things u know..!

which state are u in currently

May God bless you and whoever wrote that original post. I had always known that there are decent people everywhere - especially in the Yoruba nation.

Just ignore that rabble rouser and his ilks.

But note this, except the entire nature is a void that does not exist (which I'm darn sure it's not) , Kama will irrefutably teach every single one of those rabble rousers a hard and an escruciatingly painful lesson, which none will ever be able to forget in their entire linage. And that's if they are lucky enough not to have their respective linages totally cut off from the rest of humanity.

You reap what you sow.

But like seriously! Regardless of Nigeria and the Federal Government wanting Biafra or not wanting Biafra, Shouldn't it be wise for them to at least make 30th May a public holiday just to remember all those that lost their lives during that war? Why is Nigeria so lopsided in doing very important things? What is democracy day and democracy if they cant set out a day to honor these fallen heroes after forming that the war ended at "No Victor No Vanquish"?
Like I keep saying it, Nigeria is her own problem. Had it been that 30th May was/is made a public holiday, I think to an extent all these that is happening in the country today won't really be seen as a too much big deal. By now if anybody outside Nigeria asks, the government would have waved it off and said "Its a public holiday what do you expect?" But no! they didn't think in that direction probably because of Pride!
Ok, even if they don't want to make it a public holiday annually, why didn't they just honor the fallen heroes just this once on the 50th anniversary?
Now the whole thing has escalated and is still escalating. International media are on ground observing everything. Even world powers are looking and observing on code. Biafran news now in Isreal, just imagine that.
I keep saying it that there are things that you can't stop with force, you only need diplomacy and tact in handling them but here in Africa and Nigeria to be precise, you see them beating their chests like they can consume everybody just because the won the war. And forgetting that this is 21st century/2017.
Now even the Eastern governors and some south-south governors who the war affected should have at least found a way to make just this 50th anniversary a public holiday. Just to kind of neutralize this thing but NO! They are now helping the federal government in proving and telling the world that Nnamdi Kanu is "Veeery Powerful!!"
Ok nah! Continue!

sobs! sobs!! and wipe tears. Yet, we are being marginalized. Am sorry Buhari, I want my own country, I want Biafra.

Isee!!

Nice one OP

How painful it is to watch your very own child die before you; killed slowly by deliberate and wickedly orchestrated starvation. Nigerians, you guys have really hurt us.

My eyes is now open to the importance of May 30th. Every fallen Biafran, especially those innocent kids, deserves my respect. #SitAtHomeForSure.

IPOB Threatens People Who Will Not Obey Sit-At-Home In Igbo Land With Death.

Today on radio Biafra, a man called on live radio braodcast to inform the Radio Biafra Deputy Director, that he send a death threat to a top business man in Nnewi market because the man vowed not to obey the sit at home order.

Tomorrow IPOB will say they are not a violent group. This is the reason why the federal government have deployed heavy security in the south east to curb the violence IPOB may want to unleash to people who do not obey the sit at home.

Ewedu muslim news...

At a point during the war... Ojukwu fled to Ivory Coast... Real soldier don't run... He was selfish and a very good definition of a coward.. He brought so much pains and sorrow to igbo land yet he was regarded as a hero. Like Hitler, he should have committed suicide rather than taking to his heels.. Ask an average IPOB guy, what next after Biafra? Nothing...
