Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have made this public but because the names of the contributors were made public and the contribution too was made public.

A lot of igbo who were standing on the fence in this Biafran thing especially as regards Nnamdi Kanu’s modus operandi, are daily served a dose of why they have to subscribe to the struggle.

You remember the attack of Izzi people of Benue state? This people are Izzi people but geographically they fall under the political governance of Benue state.

Now when their attack by Fulani herdsmen made National headlines, the Benue state government discovering they weren’t indigenous people of Benue, abandoned them to their plight. Ebonyi state government too argued that the jurisdiction of attack fall under the purview of Benue government and therefore didn’t do much. Though I think Ebonyi state Governor later visited the victims.

Now, the rest of Izzi people of Ebonyi state discovering the victims had been abandoned to their own fate by the two state governments, launched a fund raising campaign to help the victims with hospital bills, food and resettlement.

But one thing will leave you awestruck... no single Benue name would you find amongst the contributors. That area is represented in the National Assembly by a Benue senator and House of Rep member but I’ve not heard of their contributions or words concern.

This only goes to prove one thing... that Nnamdi Kanu was right when he included some part of Benue as part of Biafra and when he said that no Igbo speaking people will be left out if Biafra secedes. Or how else would you explain the fact neither Benue government nor the rest of Benue people care if this people are alive or dead? It’s simply because they are not one of them.

I’m just doing this to enlighten and inform some people online who would stand logic on it’s head and say Nnamdi Kanu should accept only SE states as Biafra. If that is to happen, what will happen to people like this ones that were abandoned to their fate by Benue government?

It is the Izzi people of Benue today, tomorrow it might be the Igbanke people of Edo state or the Abi people of Cross River or Aniomas.

This is very commendable, how do I donate? my anger right now is that since the useless Benue state government have clearly shown they don't care about these Izzi community that were wickedly carved out from Ebonyi, why can't they just let these people return back to their kith and kin in Ebonyi? Where are the Ohaneze and other elites? Igbo leaders are just so useless honestly.

Lastly Nigeria will continue to suffer cyclic failure for its malicious policy against Ndigbo, they carved our people into non-Igbo states (Rivers, Benue, Cross river, Kogi ) just to reduce our landmass and population, but God pass them, I'm glad more and more of our brothers outside the SE who were suffering from identity crisis are now waking up to the growing Igbo nationalism.

Former governor of Cross River State, former minister of power and steel, former minister of education, former lawmaker, senator Liyel Imoke is from Abi in Cross River State.

Current deputy governor of Cross River State, former vice chancellor of university of Calabar, prof. Ivara Isu is from Abi in Cross River State.

House of representatives member representing Abi/Yakurr Federal constituency, hon Alex Ogbonna is from Abi in Cross River State.

I can go on and on.

Cross River State does not segregate or discriminate Igbo communities of Cross River State.

When Biafra comes, I wish not just Abi be captured but the entire Cross River, Akwa Ibom, intact, all SE and SS States so that we have international borders with Ambazonia.

It’s very painful.

About donating, there’s an account number and name and bank on the first picture.

He’s a Catholic priest coordinating the donation, you can donate there.

Imagine this exposé.

But online miscreants and BMC urchins will be here calling Southeast a “Dot in a circle”.

I guess it’s ignorance and illiteracy that is their problem.

Or they simply cannot accept the bitter truth that SE and SS are one and that Biafra won’t be a landlocked country.

They are all Igbo people. After the war, they were forced to deny their Igbo root.
