Understanding Biafra by lovat(m): 12:32pm On Jul 18, 2015
I woke up this morning to see threads from Nairalanders demanding an apology from a moderator by the name Ishilove for calling Biafra *a criminal organiastion*, I was really sad about her utterance and also disgusted with her comment.

I've been seeing a lot of Radio Biafran thread but I try to avoid commenting on it because I've not listened to Nnamdi Kanu to verify his so called *propaganda, Incitement, Hate, Lies* but if I listened to it and I find out its true, I won't fail to condemn Nnamdi Kanu and his cohorts for using Biafra Struggle to breed hate against other ethinc group.

Biafra is not a group, its not a criminal or terrorist organisation rather Biafra is a rallying call for Self determination, Fiscal federalism, Resource Control, Empowerment, Unity, Dignity in Labour. Its also an end to impunity, mal administration, nepotism, tribalism, feudalism, marginalisation and ethnic cleansing.

Biafra suffered a setback in its struggle for self-determination and it lost about 3million people in that struggle, I lost all my uncles and I know every kindred in the then Eastern region lost a loved one but the reasons that led to that struggle for self determination are still here today and that's why the present generation are demanding for Biafra to correct the ills in our Country called Nigeria.

Ishilove, I want to belive you made that comment because you were in the dark about Biafra so I will be happy if you do right by doing the needful.

I love the bolded! Nigeria can be better if no one is considered inferior or less human because s/he is from a certain region or belongs to a certain religion. However, I'd love to try a new country rather than a Nigeria that seems to move from worse to worst.

With the way yu lay dis understanding of biafra, yu can persuade someone in joining biafra. But majority alwayz carries d vote. If the masses sayz "let there be biafra, then it will be" and if it is otherwise, it will be as d case may be.

You put resource control in the rallying call by biafrans...I hope you have not extended the boundry of Biafra beyond the 5 five eastern states?
The same issues plaugeing Biafra land is the same issue with Nigeria as a whole, Neglect, under development, corruption and poverty...We are all suffering this together, if you think Biafra is suffering, ask our brothers in the north east how they are surviving, atleas 100 people die each day , rather than selfishly call for Biafra why don't we all come together and call for change from the oppression of the rulling elites.

Why are you afraid of who is or who is not in Biafra

Why not do a little research to see who make up Biafra?

Do you even know the meaning of resources? and resource control?...

Do you think even if Biafra is limited to those five South eastern states that they are bereft of sufficient if not abundance of resources both natural and human resources including oil

Oil is no longer a bargaining chip in the International community, Iran comes to mind. Google is still free for getting information

I will clarify my statement for better understanding. When I made that statement, I was referring to Radio Biafra, a rogue/pirate station broadcasting seditious and treasonable contents.

There is zero tolerance for activities that break the laws of the country on this forum and it is my job to enforce the rules here. I will keep enforcing them as long as I remain a moderator on Nairaland.

This is the last time I will be speaking on this matter. Please I enjoin all of us to obey the rules of the forum in order to maintain sanity and orderliness.
