With candles in their hands, a solemn group of nearly 50 men and women gathered at Jantar Mantar on Saturday morning to sing the anthem of a country that no longer exists on the world map. “We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,” they said. These men and women are from Biafra, which had declared its independence from Nigeria on May 30, 1967. They had gathered at Jantar Mantar to mark ‘Heroes’ Day’, to remember those who were killed during the civil war in the country between 1967 and 1970.
The civil war, say members of the Biafran community, was actually a genocide that is rarely talked about. They claim that 20 million people died during that period, after the Nigerian government banned the supply of medical aid and food to Biafra. On January 15, 1970, Biafra ceased to be a country, after it was reintegrated with Nigeria. But for the community, the battle for self-determination is far from over.
‘Heroes’ Day’ is part of an agitation for the recognition of Biafra as a nation, and the movement has been picking up momentum. The remembrance meeting at Jantar Mantar is one of the many events planned across the world to mark the day. “It’s not easy to explain what it is like to have a country that exists only in the past. Today, we have gathered here to remember the millions who died fighting for our independence. We dream that one day, we too will be free and decide our own fate,” said Solomon, who lives in Delhi. Among those remembered during the event was Bruce Mayrock, a student who was killed while protesting the war. “It’s very easy for people to forget what they don’t want to remember. But we live with the deaths of our forefathers every day,” said Michael O.

Hmmmm

Pinshure...

Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear. Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty. We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong. Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.

These people mean business o

yolobas are Mumus

yeah mumuness is legendary embedded in their (yolobas) DNA

It is only a fool would feign ignorant of the storm that is gathering in the sky for all to see Biafra is coming! and like director would say-no human born of a human can stop the emergence of biafra! Yea they can try all they could,buhari inclusive,but all will amount to an attempt in futiity.

Biafra is a dead and foregone case. Why are they disturbing other nations on their soil. They should come to Nigeria to do Biafra na. Help can't come from outside for them. General Gowon is in Nigeria waiting for them

look at a basttard looking unto an old man who couldn't even raise a finger when his people are slaughtered like okuko alusi.....Ojukwu and our fathers created Biafra and fought for it, most of them are old or even dead we don't beckon on them any longer to fight rather we have them as advisers, don't think that coward called Yabuku wagon, that prefered bombing an killing defenceless children and non combatant women rather than face the mighty ''Ogbunigwe'' will do a kpakam, if you think today is 60's you are on a longgg thing, but if you prefer war,bring it on the end will justify the means, we had achuzia and Nzogwu yesterday but today we have persons like ME, this time around if i don't chase you till you run out of Africa i will never stop. Umu aturu.

All I see is bunch on confused humans...

All of Una way no get papers!
If FRRO catch Una!
You will sing that anthem tire for prison and after be deported to the capital of Biafra in the Bay of Bangal!

Go and ask the Rohingyian Muslims!
