Igbos Dream Of Biafra And Peter Obi As The President Of Nigeria by IbileIfe(op): 10:03am On Mar 10, 2023
The presidential election of Saturday, February 25, 2023 with the overwhelming majority of Igbos voting for Peter Obi, the only Igbo political leader among the three leading presidential candidates was in a way the answer to the question of what majority of the Igbos want in contrast to the Igbos Dream of the restoration of the defunct rebel republic of Biafra they had during the Nigerian civil war from 1967-1970.

The proscribed separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other allies have been fighting for the Igbo tribe to have their own independent nation separated from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And they have been using force to compel Igbos to support their cause. But the emergence of Peter Obi as a popular political leader when he became the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and ignited the political phenomenon of the "Obidients" movement which is unprecedented in the political history of Nigeria has restored the hope and trust of the Igbo tribe as an important part of the sovereignty of Nigeria if Peter Obi can be elected as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

If the majority of Igbos want an Igbo President of Nigeria, they no longer need to secede from the federation. So, they don't need to have Biafra again? Or is Peter Obi a case of the cart before the horse of the Igbos Dream of Biafra?

In life , as you are counting your blessings, it's logically mandatory to also check your loses in order to weigh which is above.

The word Biafra, is it a blessing or a curse to Alaigbo? Ndigbos should be sincere with that question cos considering what that name has caused/cursed the region, it should be forbidden

Yes.
President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will turn my shop to the biggest and largest supermarket in Nigeria and
make it the 4th biggest in Africa as his 25years economic master plan has made Lagos, the 4th biggest economy in Africa.

Nnamdi Kanu, the political leader of IPOB sees himself as a new leader of the Igbos for the actualization of the Republic of Biafra. And Peter Obi has suddenly emerged as the most popular Igbo presidential candidate for the leadership of Nigeria.
