Why should I an Igbo boy support Biafra ??

​Biafra, dominated by the great Igbo race, enjoyed sovereignty before Great Britain commenced exploitive colonial rule over Nigeria under the racist banner of Rudyard Kipling's "the White Man' burden." Britain asserted authority over Biafra based on the tyrannical doctrine that the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

​The Berlin West Africa Conference, 1884-85, and the Berlin General Act symbolized colonial lawlessness by treating Africa as a carcass to be divided up among European vultures.
​Restoration of Biafra's sovereignty is justified under international law and practice--especially with the ongoing ethnic-inspired killings and persecutions of Biafans by Nigeria's elected military dictator from the North touting sharia law, President Mohammdu Buhari.

Biafra's sovereignty journey will require deft international diplomacy and the marshalling of widespread popular support from Biafrans and their resources. Power is never voluntarily surrendered. Rights ultimately are what you are willing to fight and die for.

​Prior to British colonization in 1906, the great Igbo people to the East of Niger, numbering some 3 million, and their cognate tribes enjoyed decentralized self-government. They were not living in a state of nature. Their self-rule came by force of arms--not voluntarily.

In 1900, the British government assumed responsibility for the Royal Niger Company's territories, and formed the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria, the Niger Coast Protectorate and the Lagos Colony Protectorate territories. 1913 witnessed the amalgamation of Nigeria into three administrative areas: the crown colony of Lagos and the Protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria.

​In 1960, Britain ended its colonization of Nigeria without reference to the Igbo or any other peoples of Nigeria entitled to self-determination. The Nigeria Independence Act established Nigerian territorial boundaries not by popular referendum or other reliable manifestations of self-determination of peoples, but according to the Nigeria's Orders in Council, 1954 to 1960. They reflected British selfish maneuvers to dominate Nigeria economically.

Britain's failure to offer Biafrans the right to self-determination violated the United Nations General Assembly Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples adopted on 14 December 1960. Paragraph 5 of the Declaration required that immediate steps be taken by the colonial power "to transfer all powers to the peoples of those [colonized] territories...in accordance with their freely expressed will and desire...in order to enable them to enjoy complete independence and freedom." The 1970 Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations emphasized that, "By virtue of the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, all peoples have the right freely to determine without external interference their political status...."

The people of Biafra--recognized as distinct by British colonial authorities--were never provided an opportunity to vote for complete independence and freedom from the rest of Nigeria according to their freely expressed will and desire. They were never consulted on the subject when Nigeria became independent in 1960. Further, the 1960 Constitution of Nigeria was never approved by the people of Biafra in a referendum or otherwise. And neither has any subsequent Nigerian Constitution, including the current version decreed by a military dictator in 1999.

​In sum, the British decolonized Nigeria in violation of international law by failing to transfer power to the peoples of Biafra in accordance with their freely expressed will.

​That violation was not a technicality, but an affront to a fundamental human right. All governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Consent is required to legitimate authority and to forestall external subjugation, oppression, persecution, or even genocide fueled by tribal, sectarian, ethnic, or megalomaniacal ambitions or hatreds.

​After independence from Britain, Nigeria soon became a charnel house for Biafrans. Deprived of their right to self-determination, they were left to the tender mercies of the Hausa-Fulani of the North and the Yoruba of the South in a unitary state unsuited for its diverse tribal, ethnic, and religious landscape. The gruesome 1967-1970 Biafran War was emblematic. Ethnic-based massacres of Biafrans and countless starving children who died as little more than skeletons was its grim face. The horrors suffered by Biafrans gave birth to the first modern international relief effort to lessen unspeakable misery.

​At the war's conclusion, Nigeria's General Yakuba Gowon's sloganeered, "No victor, no vanquished." The words proved a cruel hoax. The Igbo were marginalized, persecuted as traitors, and subjected to a Northern political yolk. Under incumbent Nigerian elected military dictator Buhari, the repression of the Igbo have reached new heights featuring indiscriminate killings, torture, and detentions without trial.

​Last March, for instance, 13 Biafrans were murdered and their corpses burnt to ashes and dumped in a burrow pit located in the area of Aba-Port Harcourt Road in Abia State by suspected Buhari agents. Last February, a team of Buhari's Army, Navy, and Police and gunned down 22 Biafrans protesting Buhari's detention of Biafan leader Prince Nnamdi Kanu.

​A complete chronicle of Buhari's horrors only would numb by repetition.

​The point is that there is no political remedy for Biafra's suffering--like an abused wife in a forced marriage--short of self-determination to regain its sovereignty that was illegally extinguished by the British and never surrendered after decolonization.

​States born from longstanding repression of peoples by ruling authorities are part of the woof and warp of international law or custom. Think of Bangladesh, Namibia, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, East Timor, Eritrea, and Kosovo.

​The case for Biafran sovereignty is as strong or stronger as these precedents.

But to succeed, Biafrans will need to organize, unify, and make their case to the United Nations Security Council, the United Nations Human Rights Council, the African Union, the European Union, and the United States.

​If they do not all hang together, they might all come to hang separately.

Why should I an Igbo boy support Biafra ??

mrvitalis:
what ever we igbos are going through every ethnic group in nigeria go through

Nigeria has failed us all we need to hold our leaders accountable, you think Kanu is a good leader ? Vote him in as governor let's see

Igbos:

Igbo always think like they're the only ones going through hard times.

mrvitalis:
Lol this guy won't even stand me for 30 mins in a logical Debate.

He has no facts just idealism and is self opinionated and lacks clear plan

Someone who can't clearly state how igbos are marginalized , or his plans for Biafra or what Biafra will offer differently this guys has not said shit

He only works on the brain of hate filled individuals

Warship:



We refuse to be suffer heads like your tribesmen.

mrvitalis:


Am sure if igbos seek for referandum they will be given , Nnamdi Kanu and his ipob can't not claim to speak for every Igbo without the full backing of the people legally

Seek for political position and then speak for your people legitimately

I am Igbo and I am against Biafra why should Nigeria government listen to Nnamdi Kanu me not listen to me ?

How are you certain Nnamdi Kanu idea is bigger than mine ?

Legitimate your ideology then people will take you serious

I am a pure Igbo boy , I have always said igbos are the biggest gainers of one Nigeria

We have acess to move our goods , trade without restriction or increased tax in all market in Nigeria ,get far more than we contribute to country in terms of allocation , we control the biggest banks and telecoms industry , have great number of oil wells under our control

We haven't been president is our own doing , ABA is underdeveloped is over fault , we don't have good roads is our faults

Before we think of what Nigeria is doing to igbos we need to think what we are doing to our selfs


I ask apart from south south is there any region getting it better than south east ?

mrvitalis:

I don't need you to believe am Igbo

If being Igbo is being ipob I will never be Igbo

I represent the smart igbos who are open minded and see this from the bigger picture

SegunAdewole:


That is the narrative I still don't get from cursed zoogerians. They always feel the East should not complain because according to them 'Everyone is marginalized'? So because Atanda from obomosho also has a boil in his arszz, Iniobong should not treat his malaria.

What kind of retar.ded monkeys do we share this country with?

SegunAdewole:


That guy is a lying fake knob-head. The number and email on his profile are fake, a confirmation that he is a skull-grabbing anti-Biafran nobody from jungles of afonjaland.

Take him serious at your own peril.

Dont talk like a fool.

Whatever you think that Igbos are are gaining by being part of Nigeria, it will never be as great as what Scotland is gaining by being part of Britain, the 5th richest country in the world.

Scotland has its own parliament, its own judiciary, its own police force, resource control, fiscal independence. There is no marginalisation of the Scottish people, infact, a Scottish man called Gordon Brown was British primeminister some years ago.

Despite all that Scotland is gaining by being part of a super-power nation like Britain, despite being well treated, despite being part of Britain for over 300 years, despite all the powers and freedoms Scotland enjoys, that same Scotland agitated for independence and was granted a referendum in 2014.

What this should tell you is that no matter how bad or good Igbos have it in Nigeria, it ever remains the inalienable right of the Igbo nation to decide if they want to be part of Nigeria or not.

mrvitalis:


Lol hope you know if 100 people vote , results will be declared ?? And you have no power to stop people from voting

Am from imo but am sure there are sensible people in anambra that will vote , most igbos don't actually vote on Election Day that's a fact so it's not new

But will it kill you to attack my points with points ?? Ooh I forgot you have no point

You guys re just filled with hate , same Kanu that ate on the same table with t.a orji

I just wish we could see a mirror image of what Biafra will become in 2 years then most of you will keep shut

Nwakaumu:
I watched the progrmme- Biafra@50.Uche mefor at certain point, boldly said that if not that nigeria is a failed state that a man like obasanjo should be in a jail now for crimes against humanity,while obasanjo was sitting next to him.obasanjo was totaly disgraced.

BiafraIShere:
Nnamdi Kanu the great! One man riot squad destroying the zoo with truth and facts. They should assemble their intellectuals and unity beggars to come and challenge Nnamdi Kanu to a live TV debate since they've been calling him names. !diotic zoogerians!

Yyeske:
Kanu said secession and Biafra or death, these miscreants sang along.
He said referendum later, they started singing that one too.
Now it is debate and they have started singing along.
Come to think of it, was it not the same kanu that was said to be mentally deranged that any sane human will have any debate with, someone who goes about abusing everybody if they don't agree with his view about Biafra even if the difference in opinion is negligible?
Waiting for the next song he'll sing and let me see his miscreants dance again

Remind me again how Scotland asked for referandum ?? By an educated man spilling lies as facts or through a political party structure

ask your self this what do the five south eastern states contribute to the center ,how much do we generate and how much do we receive

RoyalUc:


No. That's not exactly the narrative but because when this agitation started, that was the major theme. But since the 'whole world' has come out to acknowledge that all Nigerians are marginalized and therefore, that's not a good enough reason, the song is changing just like it has changed from the initial 'we need guns and ammunitions because it is either Biafra or everybody dies' to 'we are calling for referendum and not war.' The latest being this call for a debate.

attackgat:



How Scotland asked for referendum is not as important as the fact that their right to self determination was respected. Unlike Nigeria where some people think that asking for referendum is an act of treason and locking people up.


As for the 5 Eastern states, I dont care if it is 3 Naira they contribute. When they get Biafra, let the Anambra man control his Gas in Igbariam, his Oil in Ogbaru and his automotive industry in Nnewi. Let Enugu control its coal, let Ebonyi control its limestone, cement and solid minerals, let Abia control is Oil in Ukwa, let Imo control its Gas in Egbema. Whatever anyone has, even if it is sand, let them develop and control it and use the proceeds to run their Government and develop their land. Let Anambra expand Onitsha Seaport, Let Abia and Imo develop the proposed Obuaku and Oguta seaports that will allow us trade with the world. At least, the people will have their destiny and freedom in their hands. Most importantly, our sovereignty that was stolen in 1914 to create the British colonial disaster called Nigeria will be finally returned to the people.

SegunAdewole:


You don't sound lettered, if you were you would have remembered that Kanu started the call for a referendum on RADIO BIAFRA before he was kidnapped by your inglorius non entities in Daura secret service not after.

The global community STILL RECOGNIZES THAT your devilish tool of marginalization have always been used against the East, they DO NOT AGREE WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA about 'everyone being marginalized'. That's why UK MPs and even Netanyahu have voiced out the pains that Biafrans go through in shiithole zoogeria.

I'm in tune with current global news,you can stick to your Alaroye and oshogbo defender newspapers. I really don't care.
