Many ethnic Igbos feel Nigeria's central government does not represent their interests
Five people have been killed in south-eastern Nigeria after police opened fire on supporters of an activist who backs the creation of a breakaway state of Biafra, campaigners say.

An Abuja high court on Thursday ordered the release of Nnamdi Kanu, which prompted celebrations on the streets.
The police in Onitsha city said shots were fired after officers were attacked and three people were "feared dead".
Mr Kanu was arrested by the authorities in October, accused of treason.
He is the director of the banned Radio Biafra and heads the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group.
Biafran secessionists fought a three-year civil war in which more than one million people lost their lives. The uprising was eventually quelled by the military in 1970.

Should new calls for Biafra worry Nigerians?
The court order to free Mr Kanu came after Nigeria's secret police withdrew criminal charges against him. It is not clear what these were, but may have been related to running a radio station without a licence.
But he has not been released from detention as the police say they are still investigating his alleged involvement in terrorist activities.
'Officer severely injured'
The clashes in Onitsha were prompted by "overzealous police officers firing at unarmed civilians who were celebrating a court victory", IPOB co-ordinator Uchemna Madu told the BBC Hausa service.
Fifteen other people were seriously wounded, he said.

A police spokesman said the shots were fired after the protesters attacked the security forces.
"One military officer was severely injured and had his rifle damaged," Okwechuku Allie said.
Since Mr Kanu's arrest, young people, mainly from his ethnic Igbos, have been protesting in south-east Nigeria and the oil-rich Delta region.
They belong to secessionist groups like IPOB and the Movement for the Actualisation of a Sovereign State of Biafra (Massob) and feel they have been discriminated against by those in power.
The Nigerian authorities have always maintained that most of the issues the Biafra activists are complaining about are not unique to southern part of the country.

Buhari will produce those Officers that murdered innocent citizen of our country.


NA cannot go around causing trouble for this country. This was exactly how Boko Haram started.


This is why America and the world cannot sell weapons to Nigeria.


The Nigerian army is not above the law, if they commit murder they should face the law.


They cannot keep causing trouble for us. They cannot be allowed to destroy Nigeria.

BBC has also forgotten to report how the British supported the Nigeria side with massive weapons to commit genocide against the secessionist Eastern region in 1967 to 1970. White people are damn evil. Look around, they are causing problems all around the world.

Compare what BBC is reporting to what the op wants people to believe going by his title. It is just a shame. Nowhere did BBC say what the op said they said.

One thing you cannot take away from these biafra supporters is their inordinate urge to TELL LIES EVERYTIME. That is why I never take them seriously.

My brother, in other countries soldiers protect Citizens, in Nigeria the Army is the highest killers of Citizen and that is why America and the world cannot sell them weapon.

Our Army is home to illiterate, murderers, armed robbers etc.

If u read my post objectively, u will understand that Boko Haram is a product of Nigeria Army trigger happy tendency.

Who created deadly Boko Haram?

If those boyz are coming out unarmed and not scared, then imagine wat can happen wen they start coming armed?

The Nigeria Army is providing them with excuse to come out armed.

They are escalating the situation as they did in the case of Boko Haram.

There is no justification to kill unarmed persons. Haba!

U no go like am if arm boy just fire your papa one day now. Let us consider that people being murdered have loved ones and have commited no crime.

Is it a crime to be a Nigerian or our army only get power where unarmed civilian day?

They should be careful not to create a monster, like they did Boko Haram. We dont need more armed conflict in Nigeria.

From their pictures, it is easily ascertained that these dumbass fools do not have ordinary self-discipline as they are totally out of shape to represent any armed force as an officers. Even ordinary fitness Nigeria cannot maintain. How on earth did these jackasses allowed to assume a command? The two quota system products are not qualified to hold a flag in boy scout's platoon.
