buja - The Biafra Nations Youth League, a pressure group, has warned of possible conflict if the federal government does not accede to demands for the independence of the region.

The warning comes amid renewed calls for autonomy.

“We makes it clear to the world that we are not at war with Nigeria, neither are we fighting (President Muhammadu) Buhari, all we want is Biafra Independence from Nigeria, it will only lead to conflict if Buhari doesn't stay clear of our agitation,” said the organisation’s Deputy Leader, Eyam Esung, on Friday.

Esung argued the Biafran struggle for independence should not be equated with that of Boko Haram jihadist in the North.

“We are Biafran activists. Bko Haram are terrorists even though they are no longer addressed as terrorists ever since Buhari wrestled power from (ex-President Goodluck) Jonathan. We want to make it clear that our struggle is in accordance with international law hence we are non-violent and any breach of our fundamental human rights will lead to aggression.”

Esung expressed solidarity with all ethnic groups of Biafran origin.


“Our agitation for Biafra Independence is for the best interest of all our people,” said the official.

“We have the support of our people from various ethnic groups, including the displaced Bakassi natives abandoned by the government, we have reached out to other areas in the Bight of Biafra such as Southern Cameroon etc to strengthen the struggle.”

Esung said the recent heavy-handedness approached by police protests demanding independence did not deter the group.

“We want to make it clear to Nigeria Government that no amount of arrest will hinder us from the struggle for liberation.”

Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a secessionist state in south eastern Nigeria, existing from 1967 to 1970 when it was re-integrated into Nigeria.

Some organisations are advocating for a separate country for the dominant Igbo people in Southeastern Nigeria, accusing the government of marginalising them.

I hope nairaland 'we South South' deluded self appointed mouth piece can now hear from those who truly matter from that region

This Biafra agitation has come to stay. Very determined youths are speaking up without fear.

I still wonder why Yoruba youth choose to remain cowards in the face of evil Nigeria is not working and will disintegrate soonest, hence let the agitation for
Oduduwa start...

The march is on...

The struggle of our fathers shall never be in vain.though millions were killed but now their blood is calling out for the liberation of there children.

The train has left the station!!

This thing call Nijeyria presa should learn to say IPOB we are.

Thank you children of nijeyria

A new nation will emerge

UN sponsored referendum will be the best answer to this Biafra struggle for independence. All the state in SS/SE should vote in referendum to decide. I support confederation system of government. where Biafra, Odua and Arewa will become a semi independent countries under confederation like UK system.

Cc:spanishkid,Atbu,All the we ''SS'',Tonye Barnabas AKA Barcanista,Tambolo AKA truckpusher. Food don done

"We the south south" can see that Esung is not igbo
"We the let the south south dictate for themselves" can see Esung is not an Igbo name
Biafra 2015 will wipe the tears 1967 caused u

#proudlybiafran

All those shouting 'we south south' or we 'niger deltans' should start clamouring for their freedom now. Let them not think that they will be free from Nigeria when Biafra comes. We all know where this set of people usually comes from. They will be shocked when referendum comes. A true biafran, no matter the tribe, understands what this fight for freedom is all about. Thanks to the writer for speaking out.

I love dis guys. meanwhile, SSS knows what to do.





carry Mr Esung join him ogA and nobody go come bail them. superWailers

Tonyebarcanista badnews for you

Where is tonyebarcanister? Let him come and see how he's been making jest of his miserable self.

ok

Biafra will get Bakassi back from Cameroun.
Whatever treaty Gowon signed with Alhijo will not be binding on Biafra!
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/110970-bakassi-do-they-know-it-is-christmas-by-eddy-aghanenu.html

Biafra will wipe the tears of the long suffering people of Bakassi, not one inch of Biafran land will be given away without firing a single shot, no longer will Biafan territory be given away on a platter of Gold by Arewa( Gowon) and Odua( OBJ) without a single fight.

Where Nigeria failed them, Biafra will not!

Isee!!

Yes for sure BAKASSI is coming back to us...
Say no to violence, say no to one nigeria.
BIAFRA we stand.....
One love.

I once attended an Ipob meeting last two months at Aba and I was astonished by the number of southerners in attendance. It is good that they can now differentiate between their friends and foes.
