In response to to those who keep saying 'Biafra is about 5 Igbo states', 'Biafra does not include South South South', 'Biafra is only about Igbos'. It's time for a lesson in history.

However, I must say that the Biafran agitation of today is for referendum, where all the ethnic groups in the lower Niger get the privilege of deciding if they want to be Biafran or not, and by extension, their destiny.

In the Nigeria of today, it was the British who decided that we all must be "Nigerians". Only a foolish person will deny himself the right to choose his own destiny.

600 years before there was a anything called 'Nigeria', the area now known as SE/SS was called Biafra.

In 1967, just before Ojukwu declared the independence of the Eastern Region, an Ijaw man called Frank Opigo reminded Ojukwu that Historically, the Eastern Region of Nigeria used to be known as Biafra. Ojukwu then chose this name for the new country. We were known as Biafrans long before we became known as Nigerians. But this not all Ojukwu did.

The two most powerful men in Biafra after Ojukwu were Ibibio men from present day Akwa Ibom state.

Philip Effiong- He was the Vice President of Biafra and its last President. Ojukwu handed over to him in January 1970.

Mr NU Akpan- He was the equivalent of what 'Abba Kyari' is to Buhari. He was Ojukwu's chief of staff and Chief Secretary to the government of Biafra. He was an Ibibio man

Know your history and always demand your right to choose your destiny. It cannot be Lord Lugard who will come from Britain to decide who you are and what your country will be

My prayer all the time is for Biafra to come. Anyone that wants to stick to Nigeria should stay. I am too grown to beg anyone.

I will advice Nnamdi Kanu to please put his energy into fighting for people that wants freedom not people feeling that they are too important

All these noise ipob is making is nothing.
If u want to be heard or taken serious, go into and sustain an armed conflict.
Ipob should arm themselves... Takeover all military barracks and formations in southeast and compliant parts of South south, get foreign mercenaries and govt to support their course... Sustain and hold out territories.
Incase u don't know... The Fulani has a well trained army operating in the Sahel of Sudan, Mali known as RSF.
make Una dey carry placard dey shout ipob there
