Empty streets mark Biafra anniversary

Reports from south-eastern Nigeria say businesses have closed in several cities as separatists mark the 51st anniversary of the abortive declaration of the breakaway state of Biafra.
The streets are empty and shops and banks are closed in several cities - including Nnewi, Onitsha, Aba and Umuhia - after the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) group urged people to stay at home today.
The police and the military are, however, patrolling the streets.
Ipob's roots can be traced to the independence declaration of Biafra in 1967 that led to the Nigerian civil war in which more than one million people were killed.
The Igbo often complain of marginalisation and many of them have supported secession.

Nigerian authorities have labelled Ipob a terrorist organisation.
Its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is facing treason-related charges.

He has not been seen in public since September when his house was raided by the Nigerian military. The military denies arresting him.https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-africa-44277707?iorg_service_id_internal=624173547714020%3BAfpF3sUKiB2K36Wo

EWEDU MUSLIMS AND THEIR Fulani MASTERS WILL FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SLEEP TONIGHT

likes for Biafra shares for Nigeria... lets truly see who wins

The real enemies of ipob are the igbo governors not buhari..all the killings of biafran agitators are orchastrated by these governorz

If Soviet Union that gave Nigeria military hardwares and helicopters during the war could disintegrate forever, Nigeria shall follow in same direction. At the end, the Biafra Nation and Government shall be restored. They can’t even deal with their numerous issues but they have time to be doing anything they can to deny our people our God given right of Self-determination. It won’t last forever, Biafra is already here. Isee!

BIAFRA IS real

Kingsley1000:
SO IPOB DON ENTER BBC

Take heart

Using same logic, who are the real killers of yoruba farmers?

You can kill the people but you can never kill the ideology. NEVER!!!. No peace for the wicked.

Injustice breeds conflict and without equal right and justice there will always be struggles.

brown roof afonja! I know your monumental ewedu/amala have gone sour in your today over the success of our sit-home-protest!

God bless Biafra

Don't forget

Na so

Once Igbo leave this shithole by God's grace, (Ofcourse Nig wont remain united forever)we progressive yorubas are leaving too whether Yoruba Muslimss fanatics like it or not.
Yoruba Muslims should know that life does not begin and ends with the caliphate.

This is stupid.

You don't vote then you will cry when the one you don't want in office oppresses you.

Even if you guys want your biafra, in what world can you get it without political machinations aiding you?

If you people were as smart as you think you are you would vote people in office who support your beliefs and would help bring about the change you desire.

This is why white men always out maneuver us blacks. Where is the intelligence? No brains.

Lol after 51 years no biafra till now. Oh Lord hausa people are strong.


They are just holding Nigeria Ransome, even the west is their slaves.

Na wa oh. How can biafra be free? How? When?


The great northern Nigeria are so powerful.

Where is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu?

Some people will die of heartache today.

All agents of the caliphate will not sleep well tonight

Order without threat or gun power, tomorrow some will say Igbos are not united, they don't love themselves , I'm patiently waiting for June 12 pictures across southwest let me know how they will comply.

God bless eastern region
God bless great Igbo nation
God bless Anambra state
God bless Awka-Etiti.
