This page is open to all lovers of freedom. Our objective is to make our wish for an independent state of Biafra known to the outside world through CONSTANT/DAILY protest in front of the United Nations building in New York. LETS OCCUPY NEW YORK

Before a protest, there needs to be a plan. What territories and on what grounds is there a protest for this state? I'm talking about a referendum. The communities that will fall under this new state should decide where they want their future to be (so we don't get a mini-Nigeria).

Also are we sure to call it 'Biafra'?

i believe the first thing to do is to make our position clearer to the world. Tell them about our desire for an independent state of Biafra, then referendum will follow. thanks

Why do we need to have Biafra? This might cause a war and war is bad. We don't need a Biafra part 2.

Honestly, I am igbo and I don't want that again. My family went through hell and they don't want anything like that again. We should have our own state and 1 big state with our rules and one leader who serves the people, that would be better. The resources will be allocated better this way.

This should not be the issue now,the main issue is for us to get a green light first so that we can now sit together and discuss our future

Igbo leaders order kinsmen home •Govs call for caution


A one-day meeting of Igbo leaders in Enugu has ended with a call on sons and daughters of Igbo residing in the Northern part of Nigeria to return home to avoid being killed by members of the Boko Haram sect.

The meeting was held on Saturday shortly before the commencement of a joint meeting of the South East governors and the Igbo leaders at the Nike Hotel, Enugu.

The South East leaders made up of governors and leaders of thought rose from a meeting with condemnation for the spate of killing, especially Ndigbo in the country.

“We are angry at and condemned the spate of killings going on in the country, especially as it affects Ndigbo. We, however, commend the effort of the Federal Government in containing the situation.

“We set up a committee to monitor the development and advise on our future actions. We assure our people living in the North and other parts of the country that we are in constant touch with various state governments to ensure the security of their live and property.”

To this end, a committee has been set up to meet President Goodluck Jonthan with a view to stemming the incessant killings of Nigerians and Ndigbo in the North.

Rising from their meeting at the Enugu residence of late Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, told reporters that a committee had been set up to address the issue of returnees from the North, adding that refugee camps were already available in the entire South East zone.

Chief Uwazuruike, who addressed newsmen in company of the former Presdent-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Justice Eze Ozobu, stated that churches would be involved in rehabilitating Ndigbo who were displaced in the North as a result of the Boko Haram brutality and killings, stressing that Igbo leaders would not sit and watch their sons and daughters killed in the North for no cause.

Meanwhile, the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has been urged to urgently proclaim a national day of prayers and fasting to curb the activities of members of the Boko Haram sect.

The General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Reverend Felix Meduoye, said this was necessary to halt the devastation which the activities of the sect had become in Nigeria and prevent its spread into other regions of the country.

Rev. Meduoye, in a press statement signed by Rev. Tobi Akinbo, his media aide, while sympathising with the victims, condemned the recent attack in Kano, noting that life is sacred and no one has any right to take life under any guise.

“We condemn in strong terms the violent sectarian attacks in Kano, Kano State of Friday, January 20, 2012 during which at least 186 persons have so far been reported dead. It is a callous, murderous and wicked action that has not only inflicted pains on many Nigerians but has as well affected our psyche as a nation.

While acknowledging the assurances from the president and other governmnent officials, the church leader reiterated the believe of the church that aside the security measures being put in place by government, the church believes that prayer and fasting will provide the needed relief, saying ‘we therefore call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to urgently initiate a national prayer and fasting programme involving all Nigerians.

Nigeria is already at war,so it is just natural for people who can avoid it to go their own way or stay back and fight for what they can avoid.

The issue should be defending one's territory.

Out of chaos comes order.People will always fight if they have to fight to live.
