A group of Igbo residents in the United States have inaugurated a Biafra House in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Washington DC, US, Vanguard has learnt.

The group said the Biafra House was created last week “to serve the Biafran people and bring international services to people and nations who are friends of Biafra.”

A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity told Vanguard on Friday that, “The Biafra House is officially opened for business to the public, including Government Administrative Matters, Diplomatic Protocol, International Relations, and Security, amongst others.”

The Biafra House was formed to cater for Nigerians of Igbo extraction in the US and in the Diaspora to get positive interactions with the international community through collaborative efforts.

“The Biafra House will be interacting and providing services to local, as well as governments and the International community through partnerships, pending when the United Nations and other world bodies may compel the government of Nigeria to effect a plebiscite for Biafran people.

“The highlight of the opening ceremony was the creme de la creme of people holding political positions from different nations, business moguls, and current and retired U.S. military personnel, some of who are of Biafran stock.

“Other side attractions at the opening ceremony, besides the traditional cutting of the tape and prayers, were the traditional and cultural dances displayed by Biafrans.”

“Local and international media houses were not left out, as they added colour during the grand opening,” the source added.

The Kolmani project is located along the fields of Gombe and Bauchi, with Oil Prospecting Licence 809 and 810, lying in the Gongola Basin of the Upper Benue Trough, joining the two northern states.


While addressing the country at the event, Buhari said the Kolmani River field attracted $3bn worth of investments.


Reacting, IPOB said the Northern region has been reluctant to let Biafra happen because it benefits from the proceeds of the crude oil in the South-East, despite having solid minerals.




North Have Crude Oil Now, Biafra Ready To Separate ~ IPOB


25th November, 2022 


We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader and prophet Mazi Nnamdi KANU confirm the answer to the prayers of  our Leader concerning oil discovery in the North. In one of his landmark broadcasts on radio Biafra, he prayed for God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama to give crude oil to the Northern Region of Nigeria. 


Northern Nigeria has large deposits of many solid minerals in the north that are more lucrative than crude oil. But because they thirst for oil, and because of their greedy nature to conquer others, they are ready to do unimaginable things because of oil in Biafra land. Today God Almighty Eze Chukwu Okike in His infinite wisdom has settled the fraudulent contraption's age-long problem of unity occasioned by crude oil. 

Crude oil discovery in the North will for certain settle this forced unity if indeed they are truthful in settling Nigeria's problem. Oil or no oil, Biafrans are not interested. All we need is a conducive environment to do our business without fear of terrorists at our borders. The discovery of over a billion barrels of crude oil in Gongola Basin is another important thing that has happened to the Northerners. But other ethnic groups should watch and see how terrible and wi¢ked this Caliphate is.

They won't allow the crude exploration revenue to enter into the national treasury just as they handled gold deposits discovered in Nasarawa State. They will mine these resources and use it to fund their national jihad agenda. They are never contented in what they have and their hearts are set on conquering and taking over others lands and inheritance. Their greed is insatiable.



The prophecy of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU has come true because he prayed in one of his Radio Biafra broadcasts that Elohim should give the supporters of APC oil so that Nigeria problem will be solved once and for all.

Almost all Mazi Nnamdi KANU's prophecies about Nigeria have come to pass.


Now that every component part of Nigeria have oil, can we all go our separate ways and mind our own businesses?  If the Fulani North refuse and decide to be Pharos, they will drown in the Red Sea and Nigeria will burn without remedy.

Because he is a pathological liar, also a clannish hypocrite. His mien is devilish then finally he is an Igbo man that has not come out to denounce biafra and the criminal exploits of pro biafrans.

Obi KO!
Obo ni.

But you people fully supported Buhari to be President even though he never denounced for one day, herdsmen from his tribe killing people all over Nigeria

Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, has filed a law suit against the Federal Government for faiiling to release his client, as ordered by the courts on October 13th

Ozehkome is seeking 100 billion Naira compensation, the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, and a national apology in two dailies

Yesterday October 17th, Biafran trooped to the famous Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, to remember those killed in the Asaba massacre of October 1967.

Asaba is an Igbo town on the west flank of the River Niger and is capital of Delta State. In October 1967 when Soldiers of Nigeria's second division entered the city, there was widespread massacre of unarmed civilians. It is estimated that over a thousand people were lined up and shot by the Nigerian Army

Although Asaba was not part of Biafra, it is thought that the massacre was purely because it was an Igbo town

The funny thing that it was the DSS, ior SSS as it was known then, that detained El Rufai

Governors dont have control over DSS, they are federal

But they have made it look like it was Obi who detained him

Three days ago when it was announced that IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, had been released, a couple that was all set for their wedding for yesterday Saturday, chose to drop their wedding dresses and stormed Church in Biafran attire to celebrate his release

An IPOB member wedded his lovely Bride with IPOB in full attendance. Bride opted to hold a Biafran flag rather than wedding flowers

Buhari has become used to seeing huge crowds line the road cheering his convoy wherever he goes, particularly in the North

So it must have come as shock, for the second time he is visiting Imo State capital, Owerri, to meet empty streets

Last year, IPOB declared a sit at home on the day Buhari was meant to visit Owerri. Governor Hope Uzodimma ranted and raved that IPOB had no power to declare sit at home and that Imo people would come out en mass to welcome Buhari

Buhari arrived and met empty streets, forcing Uzodimma to rush to rent a small crowd to cheer Buhari

The same thing repeated its self two days ago. This time, Buhari's visit coincided with Nnamdi Kanu's case coming up at the court of appeal. IPOB declared a sit at home to mark the day.

Buhari came to Owerri and again was met by empty streets. Uzodimma again went to rent a small crowd that greeted Buhari at the entrance to government house. Video of the crowd fighting for their 'rent fee' has since gone viral

The South East was completely shut down on September 13th

The town of Nsukka looks deserted as Residents obey IPOB's sit home order for Nnamdi Kanu's trial slated for today

The apex Socio-Cultural Igbo group, the Ohaneze Ndigbo United Kingdom chapter has suspended its President, Professor Joe Ukemenam over false claims against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


This was disclosed in a letter and disclaimers the Ohaneze Ndigbo (UK) sent to Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to the IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in response to Barrister Ejimakor’s demands on the matter, the letter to Barrister Ejimakor reads in part: 

"The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo United Kingdom chapter has been drawn to a recent interview granted by Professor Joe Ukemenam to the Sun news online which was published on 20 August 2022 and subsequently re-published by other online media houses, in which he discussed a range of issues including the continued incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian government" 

"The Ohanaeze Ndigbo UK through this medium wishes to categorically disassociate itself from the views expressed by Prof Ukemenam on matters raised in the said interview. 

“We hereby inform the public that those opinions and references made were entirely his and do not in any way or form represent the views or the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo UK" 

"We condemn the forceful rendition of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria against international laws and treaties and we call on the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from his incarceration by the Nigerian government.”

So anything with the rising sun on it means support for Biafra? In that case it means that Malawi supports Biafra, they have rising sun on their flag

Due to questions that are likely to arise about his:-

.Age

.Origins

.Primary and Secondary School Education

.US drug related case

.Health

Bola Tinubu is not likely to grant any interview, or be part of any debate, until elections are over

seunmsg:


You are the one trying to twist history. Ben Nwabueze drafted Unitary Decree 34 of 1966 and Ironsi signed it into law. Decree 33 abolished regionalism and centralized government of the country. Sadly for him, he did not live long enough to implement the law Nwabueze crafted to give him absolute control over the country. Gowon simply implemented the law he met on ground by abolishing the region and creating states as replacement.

Then I suggest you read Decree 34 again because while it centralised government, it never abolished the Regions. The same 4 Regions that were there when Ironsi came in January 1966, were still there when he was killed about 6 months later in July. So how did Ironsi abolish the Regions?

But Gowon came in after Ironsi and met the same 4 Regions, but in less than one year, we had 12 states created from those 4 Regions

You people should google Gowons decree 14 and read how he abolished the 4 Regions so you can stop spreading this age old lie against Ironsi

NuclearWinter:


And Peter Obi gave the order to his fellow Biafran to do so.

Yes Peter Obi gave orders to a Nigerian Police officer to murder hundreds of innocent people. The great country where their Policemen are murderers and killers of hundreds of people.

I have long had this belief that the Nigerian Police are the biggest killers of unarmed innocent Nigerians after Boko haram killer herdsmen

29kobo:
Because Nigeria is a country where the closer you are to power, the more you do to retain it,,,because that is where the cake is divided.

Over 20 years ago, Buhari talked a lot about 'extending Sharia across Nigeria'. Got him a lot of votes and a lot of fans. Then he had a chance at winning presidency...and all that talk was forgotten. In eight years, he has failed at implementing sharia across Nigeria.

Tinubu was once big about 'restructuring' and 'how the unity of Nigeria was problematic'....then he became a mainstream politican, and then he was invited to come and eat. All that restructuing talk went out of the window. He had to get the cake.

Same thing with many IPOBITES. Whenever their chosen candidate has a chance of winning..like Obi now and Atiku in 2019...they become dedicated Nigerians. When he loses...back to IPOB

The aim of the game is still the same....get a piece of the national cake. Put heat under the legs of the government to get more national cake. That was why we had sharia, oodua in the first 4 years of obasanjo's regime...then...they were invited to come and eat. (Gani Adams was a proud secessionist, until 2003...then after...)

IPOB is not for Biafran independence. If it ever was. It is for getting a larger share of the national cake. Same for Sharia, Ooduduwa, Niger delta millitants and a host of other movements. At the end, it is for a big share of the national cake. Not for the interest of the people of Nigeria.

So we are all in Nigeria to be fighting for national cake? That means we will all be fighting forever

NuclearWinter:


FYI, Akwuzu SARS held the record as the most dangerous police detention unit .

All this in your blighted yeast.

Nwafor is Igbo and so were many of his lieutenants.

Obi that was Governor had the powers to order the State Ministry of Justice to order Nwafor to release detainees languishing for weeks to months in his dungeons.

Peter Obi as Governor had the ears of the President and that of the IGP to have Nwafor investigated but he did nothing despite all the avalanche of petitions to his office.

By both omission and commission, your saint Obi has shown that he was guilty of aiding and abetting the killings and extortions of James Nwafor

Yes I hear you, Nigeria the country where the Police Officer can murder 200 innocent people because a Governor told him to. What a country destined for great things!

NuclearWinter:


So Peter Obi who gave the shoot at sight order and refuse to entertain any petition that landed on his desk concerning the atrocities going on in a state that he doubles as Governor and Chief Security officer is exempt from blame?

Mind you, most cases that landed people in SARS are cases that are tried in State High Courts where same Obi could easily have set an internal judicial inquiry to look into the allegations of killings and extortions.

Peter Obi shares a huge amount of blame for allowing the killings to go on under his adminstration when he had every power to put am end to or shut down the SARS operations in the State.

You are deceiving only yourselves with your fake saint obi

Thanks for letting us know that your country is where a Nigerian Police officer, who is neither hired or paid by a Governor, and cannot be fired by a Governor, can go and murder over 200 people in cold blood, because a Governor may have told him to do so

In other words, the oath a Nigerian Police officer took to his country and the Federal Government, to protect life, does not mean as much as what a State Governor he does not answer to, tells him. A Nigerian Police officer can kill 200 innocent people he was trained and paid to protect

Nigeria is just too backwards, the rot in system is just too deep. Nobody can save the country. A country where a Policeman can kill 200 people. Chei!

NuclearWinter:
They are calling for the head of the Imo state governor over the activities of the state vigilante group over alleged killings of 14 youths by the Ebubeagu security outfit.

They even rejoiced on seeing a video of what they thought was the Ebubeagu commander in Imo state being shot dead by their Zionist terrorist organization. Even as news filtered in that the man shot dead in the video was not the notorious Ogwu Mozambique, but an innocent man mistaken for the Ebubeagu commander they refused to condemn the senseless murder even after seeing the pit containing over a dozen rotting corpses where their Biafran freedom fighters dumped their victims.

Now tell me, between Hope's Ebubeagu and Peter Obi's James Nwafor of the dreaded Akwuzu SARS which has shed more innocent blood?

Peter Obi gave James Nwafor a blanket order to shoot at sight and protected and shielded Nwafor from investigation by both civil society and judicial inquiry bodies that had tonnes of petitions flooding their offices on the ongoing unabated killings going on in the Anambra SARS division.

The Anambra SARS Public panel received petitions from surviving relatives of 140 people killed by Nwafor and his men during Peter Obi's tenure. This is despite the over 200 bodies of MASSOB members massacred and dumped in a river by Nwafor's men. There are also the silent majority who we will never know their names who James Nwafor arrested from other states or had pending cases against them in Anambra or those whose family are too poor or have given up on looking for their loved ones.

James Nwafor murdered at least a thousand people in his dungeons at Akwuzu and all this under the adminstration of Peter Obi.

Obi can not deny he knew nothing of the killings because petitions from the victims families and those unjustly detained and extorted by Nwafor flooded his desk. But he did nothing. Rather he covered for Nwafor and his killers.

So instead of looking for Mozambique to kill and have Hope Uzodimma carry the blame of the excesses or lack of training of the Ebubeagu vigilante , why are you not demanding from Peter Obi where his henchman , James Nwafor is currently holding out?

Is this the saint you expect us to vote who will turn the DSS to a CHEKA killing machine?

Your Peter Obi is no saint.

Remarkable. Here is an individual who is admiting that a Nigerian Police Officer called James Nwafor killed over 200 MASSOB members, MASSOB that has never been violent or armed in anyway, always peaceful.

He doesnt really care that a Police officer in his country can murder 200 innocent people in cold blood, what he cares about is how to liken the killings to Uzodimma, Ebubeagu and Peter Obi.

While Ebubeagu in under the control of Uzodimma, he hires and funds them, a Nigerian Police Officer such as James Nwafor is neither hired nor paid by Obi. He cant even be fired by Obi, and thus can make his own decisions on how he goes about Policing. He can also chose not to murder 200 people, regardless of what Obi tells him, and still keep his job. He swore an oath to protect life and property

Nigeria, the country where a Police Officer can murder 200 innocent people

The earlier we Igbos get our independence and leave this Godforsaken country called Nigeria, the better for us

Soukiss:
And na ibos kill this man
That's were our problem started ibos are the one that change d game of this con3.by coup

Those that say Igbos started the problem are the same people who have been running Nigeria for over 50 years and took the problem to another level out of this world

sammytee042:
It is obvious people are not well informed about how "democracy" system works. Voting Obi is good but have you guys ever considered the fact that he can't run the government alone as we are not practicing autocracy. 2/3 majority from national assembly can stop any move by the president. Voting other parties to occupy other political positions while you vote Obi as president is the same as wasting your vote. It is not the people we need to change but the system

Critics will say that those who ruled with majorities in the national assembly didnt achieve anything with it

alanto:

Can you make Obi biafran's president?

Who Presidency help?

trutharena:
Check the Igbo well, before now, the media space is all about IPOB and Nigeria is a zoo.

As soon as Obi got the ticket, they all switched mouth and started campaigning massively for Peter Obi and started tagging anyone that speak against them an efulefu and cancelling them.

But the same Igbo will attack a Yoruba supporting Tibubu by calling them tribalists and yet over 99% of them are always speaking in support of Peter Obi.

But some Yoruba lack self awareness, they are being gaslighted and used by the Igbos and forming woke on social media and getting guilt tripped.

As a Yoruba, you can support Peter Obi, Atiku, or Kwakwanso but if the reason you are supporting any of these guys is due to the gaslighting by other tribe , then you are foolish.

All goes to show you that we should stop this "one Nigeria" nonsense, disintegrate the country, go our seperate ways and stop giving each other headache

Blazebond:
The army should investigate him thoroughly before letting him go,if he is guilty of aiding and abetting terrorists,he should face the law if not then he should be set free.

They have slready beaten him up, tied him and destroyed his business

In which country do you first beat up a person, destroy his business and arrest him, before you even start investigation?

Only in Nigeria

aribisala0:
During the Biafra war after months of fighting the supply of food to Biafra was restrcicted by the Nigerian government headed by Gowon.
There is argument about the details but what is not in doubt is that Biafra did not have the means to feed itself and was reliant on food supplies that passed through Nigeria.
There was some dispute between Nigeria and Biafra's Ojukwu about the flow of food.

The Ney York times reports

The Biafrans, meanwhile, rejected proposals that would have opened a land corridor into their enclave; they feared that the Nigerians would use it to invade. Biafra also rejected plans that would have let the Nigerians inspect food shipments, so that no arms slipped through; the Biafrans said they feared being poisoned by their tribal enemies.

So there was a stalemate.
The Nigerian side took the position that Biafra remained a part of Nigeria and was an internal matter so it would not allow third parties to bring in material without its consent. It feared that weapons could be supplied disguised as food.

At the start of the war there was no problem but as it got prolonged the Nigerian side raised the stakes ,stopped the flow of food which they argued was going first to the soldiers and not the vulnerable. Once the policy kicked in the war did not last for much longer and the Nigerian side was victorious

In the commentary after the war, long after Awolowo's death. Achebe wrote to blame Awolowo for this stating his belief that

"It is my impression that Chief Obafemi
Awolowo was driven by an overriding ambition for power, for himself in
particular and for the advancement of his Yoruba people in
general...Awolowo saw the dominant Igbos at the time as the obstacles to
that goal, and when the opportunity arose-the Nigeria-Biafra War-his
ambition drove him into a frenzy to go to every length to achieve his
dreams...a diabolical policy to reduce the numbers of his enemies
significantly through starvation-eliminating over two million people


According to Achebe Igbo were dominant and Awolowo decided to starve them so that the Yoruba can advance?


This belief is at the core of the psychology of virtually every Ibo person I know.
Before the war they believe they were the dominant force in Nigeria and they were taken down by Awolowo and the Yoruba.
It is their fervent hope and belief that one day they will get revenge and make the Yoruba suffer like they did.

Well on starvation , I guess the lesson should be if you are going to war next time. Make arrangements for what you will eat. It is foolish to expect your enemies to feed you
I sincerely hope that IPOB DO NOT FORGET THIS MESSAGE
I hope they will not be begging for food when Kasala bursts so that Buhari's dot in a circle prophesy is not fulfilled
My opinion. Was Nigeria right to stop the flow of food after several months of fighting? Nigeria should never have allowed it in the first place.

Dont worry about IPOB, they dont want to be in the same country with you

Frigga13:
More of this is needed in the southeast

Make Una continue with false alarm..
Na that bar unknown gunmen the hangout .. everybody knows that already

Soludo kill them all.

wishing the day .. Ekpa and his boys will declare war on Nigerian government

That's all I pray for them

Foolish IPOB bingos

Its obvious that most of those commenting, such as the above, only read the mischievous headline of the OP without reading the article.

A man is running a relaxation spot, the security agents go there, beat him upand destroy the place based on the accusation that gunmen ate and drank at his place of business

So if a gunman goes to cut his hair at a barbers, the security forces should go and destroy the barbershop and arrest the barber? Or may be a gunman uses a commercial bus to go somewhere, the security agents should go and destroy the bus and arrest the driver and conductor?

What sort of madness is this? The funny thing is that some people are cheering the barbaric and illegal action of their security agents

Nigeria still had very far to go

The family of Anochie Fidel Ezechukwu, popularly known as 'Wiselabour' has raised the alarm over his whereabouts after a team of security agents invaded his bar and whisked him away last Tuesday. The bar is in Ukpor town in the Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

It was gathered that the ferocious-looking security operatives who were led by soldiers of the Nigerian Army accused him of allowing ‘unknown gunmen’ to drink at the bar

In a statement made available to SaharaReporters on Wednesday titled "Where Is Mr. Anochie Fidel Ezechukwu?", the family said Ezechukwu was neither a criminal nor an unknown gunman. Signed by Ijeoma Florence, the family narrated, "On Tuesday the 2nd of August, 2022, he woke up like every other hard-working, responsible family man and went about his normal business.

"Mr. Ezechukwu was in his spot preparing for the day's business when men of the Nigerian Army and other security forces in full uniform with about 20 vehicles in convoy invaded his business premises and totally destroyed his Bar! They tied him up like a Ram about to be slaughtered, inflicted some fatal injuries on him and took him away to an unknown destination.

"Note that in all these, Mr. Ezechukwu was never on the run, never have any criminal questions/allegation/records on his head. He was not in hiding, and never gave any form of resistance to the arrest. So why tie him up like a chicken? Why trample on his human dignity? Why naked him and reduce him to nothingness? Why destroy the place of business he runs with his wife?

 "To date, none of his family members, wife, or friends have been able to locate him.

"The accusation against Mr. Ezechukwu is that unknown gunmen may be patronizing his business. Like how on earth are we reduced to this level in this country? How can someone who runs and manages a Bar/Relaxation Spot offence be that ‘unknown gunmen’ comes to take a drink in his establishment?”

"These are supposed to be unknown gunmen right," the family said, adding "so if they are unknown to the Army and all the security formations whose job is to catch them, then how come these security formations that know these unknown gunmen and the fact that they visit Mr. Ezechukwu's place of business left the unknown gunmen and more or less ‘kidnapped’ Mr. Ezechukwu? Something is not right."

 They lamented that "this fate that has befallen Mr Ezechukwu is duplicated all over South East. You are an endangered species if you are a young man living in any part of the South East, especially in Imo and some parts of Anambra.

The general public should please come to the aid of the family. Help us ask questions. Where is Mr. Anochie Fidel Ezechukwu? HQ Nigerian Army, Nigeria police, members of Civil Society Organisations, ordinary Nigerians, and the masses, help us, please.

 "The life of Mr. Ezechukwu, a responsible hard-working Nigerian must not be wasted just like that. He is a family man. His wife must not be made a widow for no just cause.

 "All the family asks is that they should know his whereabouts. It is his constitutional right to be entitled to a fair hearing, and be treated with dignity no matter the allegation. He has the right to his family and legal representation!"


Also speaking to SaharaReporters, his wife, Onyinye who witnessed the incident, said that the security agents after looting their business destroyed their shops and took away goat meat pepper soup they had prepared for the day's business. She noted that they seized her phone to ensure she didn't video their atrocities. She said, "N50,000 goat slaughtered that day and cooked was taken away together with the pot.

 "They took away drinks worth over N200,000 inside three deep freezers. Fish inside the ‘point-and-kill’ worth about N30,000 were all taken away.

 "Two electricity generators, two gas burners and a stove, large screen TV sets and several phones they seized from neighbours to ensure that nobody recorded their activities were taken away." She said the things destroyed by the security officers include several crates of empty beer bottles, tables, chairs, a tarpaulin, and a GP water tank.

She said they also stole some money, a grinding machine, foodstuffs - rice, garri, beans, tomatoes, onion, seasoning cubes, crayfish and other food items she sells. Onyinye, who said she is taking refuge in a neighbouring community, noted that even her cooking pots, breakable plates, glass cups, ladles and mat were taken away.

Their names are Emeka and Ifechi Ekesinachi(brothers), Chidindu Onyweokwu, Atumegwu Ozioma, Emmanuel Nnameze, Chikereuba Anyadioha and Chigozie Obinwa

The 7 youths were amongst the 14 killed on Sunday 17th July at Awo-mmamma, by Imo State vigilante, Ebubeagu, as they were returning to their village, Otulu, after attending the traditional wedding of fellow Otulu indigene, Chijioke Nnanna.

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo would later say that the men were militants who were killed in a shootout at their camp by the security forces, in a DSS led operation

However, video footage of the men at the wedding, the fact that the security forces have not shown anyone any camp or weapons retrieved, and the oral testimony of the groom, Chijioke Nnnna, have all contributed in debunking the Governors story

The men were all unjustly murdered by Ebubeagu

The mother of Emeka and Ifechi Ekesinachi died a few days later from the heartbreak of losing her two sons

The village of Otulu is mourning

These are not the best of times for the joint security taskforce in the South East, otherwise known as 'Ebubeagu' . Many Igbos now see Ebubeagu as the private Armies of the Governors, and the have been linked to illegal acts in the South East including extra-judicial killings

The final straw was two weeks ago when Ebubeagu was blamed for killing 14 boys who were returning from a wedding at Awo mmamma, Imo State

Although the authorities have maintained that the 14 men were militants who were killed during an exchange of fire, video footage of the wedding, showing many of the 14 boys eating and drinking before they were killed, has since emerged.

Aniluvreal:
It been a while now I saw people chanting Biafra here. The forthcoming election seems to unify this country, as I hardly see tribal war that was constantly going on here before. Even hardcore Biafrans/Ipob apologist on this forum let go of it and focus in uniting the country.

The only clashes I saw now is between Peter Obi supporters, Atiku supporters and Tinubu supporters , which is so normal .

If truly the Nigerian government really want to silence Biafra agitation completely, they should give Igbo man the chance to rule. If Peter Obi should be given a chance, see Biafra agitation die a natural dead and never resurrect again.


Please I am not Igbo, I am from one of the south west state.

So the unity of of your counfry is based on elections of every 4 years? Then that means the unity you think you have is none existent because elections will come and go, but what divides us will remain
