Moment Northern Elders Agreed To Divide Nigeria Makes Waves Amid Biafra Agitation

It is worth mentioning that the Northern Elders Forum isn’t in support of another war to keep Nigeria together, and had asked the federal government not to stand in the way of Biafra secession.

Speaking with Channels TV, the former spokesperson of the Forum who was replaced by Abdul-Azeez Suleiman yesterday, said with the tensed agitation in the South-East, and with the past wars that had a toll on Nigerians, the federal government should not stand in the way of Igbo secession.

The elders noted that secession by the Igbos represent their popular choice and they should be allowed to leave the country.

Watch Northern Elders Speaking Below


Yesterday, reactions trailed the Northern Elders’ position as many spoke in support.

Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, yesterday directed his followers to stay on course.

He issued the directive during his routine meeting with his legal team, led by his special counsel,

Igbo masses wants to secede but the Igbo elites doesn’t want secession due to the many properties they own in Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc and the politicians among them who have made billions from the loopholes in Nigerian political system and government doesn’t want secession either as they stand to gain nothing in a new country they would probably not have a political influence

The earlier they understand and accept the fact that Nigeria can't remain one, the better for everybody.
Because Biafra will surely exit Nigeria.

Because i don't think the SW or even NC will team up with core North again to invade Biafra the second time.

Is everybody not tired already?

The truth is that IPOB may be contemplating a second showdown, but they don't want to make it obvious.
They just want referendum.

But if you notice MNK body language initially, you will know he's ready to make huge sacrifices for the actualization of Biafra.

Dey play

You want to divide the only factory or company or money making business that they built?

Are you joking?

At the end of every month they all carry their beggar bowls to Abuja in babariga to collect their own share of the national cake

And you are here typing sh*t!

They didn't develop their regions
Instead they underdeveloped her,

How is it possible for them to split? Impossible

Corruption is the only glue that is binding us together in Nigeria

Wlecome to Nigeria #itiswell!

The agitation for Biafra is not going through a any proper channel, write properly to FG through the HOR and senators, write to the UN, write to AU, ECOWAS and the likes.
The elites are not even in support of it, the entire SE is not agreed on this due to the segregation going on amongst them.
But bIaming the north because of it is their problem.
I keep saying this, if Ojukwu had seceded with present day SE and not coveted present day SS, there would have been Biafra for over 50 years now and they will still be all Nigèria like they are today.

Once the south east is allowed to leave nigeria other regions especially the south south will also definitely immediately start fighting to leave the contraption called nigeria. Which sane person will like to be in the same country with two faced people of the west and bloodthirsty fulani jihadists from the north?

I am not sure Igbo want to leave Nigeria, all the agitation is for the share of the national cake which I understand.

Imagine this broadcast has been on for some hours and no top Igbo or the leaders have been trending it.

If the Igbo are been serious, let Obi, Oby and the top Igbo demand a referendum and see wonders.

You are right .... Even the South South will end up demanding for their country when the South East leaves...

Are u aware that u can't declare independence for a tribe that's not tribe and doesn't agree with u?
There are reports of how those people were oppressed by lgb0s during the war.
They never bargained for Biafra, u wanted to force them in.
Ojukwu should have focused on his tribe and there will Biafra now.

What you leaders in the SE can not come out openly and say in public is what the Northerners are doing for you


As a matter of fact, why can't you people hold your leaders, lawmakers, senators, governors and others responsible to ameliorate the process of your referendum

Rather than calling other people unity beggars

Ojukwu was governor of then Eastern region that became Biafra.
Eastern region Consultative Assembly gave Ojukwu the mandate to declare Biafra.All tribes of Eastern region has elected representatives in the Consultative Assembly.So it is not true that anyone was forced to join Biafra.

Eastern Consultative Assembly gave him mandate to declare Biafra.It is a historical fact!
That means a simple majority voted for Eastern region succession from Nigeria is also a historical fact.

So the Igbo House of Reps member from Rivers state Hon. Chinda that made a formal request for division of Nigeria to be discussed who got massively shutdown by Yoruba and Northern Reps is a joker?

Please use google and search for that Plenary section and watch it.


Majority of Igbos want peaceful division of Nigeria without war, but few of the Igbo political class and the elites benefiting from the decayed Nigerian system don't want Nigeria to divide because dysfunctional Nigerian system is their cash cow, and they know they won't have a say in the new country Biafra.



Majority of Igbos are really tired of being under one country with envious, treacherous Yorubas and their Muslim Jihadists Hausa-Fulanis honestly.


We are not saying Biafra will be paradise automatically but we believe we will be better off suffering on our own to build our own indigenous country from scratch, than cohabiting with a cunning, treacherous, unreliable Yorubas ready to do anything the North wants just to ensure Igbos and Igbo region remain perpetually marginalized.



We are ready to even contribute money from our pockets to kickstart and run Biafra. We are passionate about it. Forget some few Igbo political criminals benefiting from the current destroyed Nigeria system who don't want to hear Biafra secession, most Igbos sincerely want a country without Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis mostly.

Bring the proof that it was consensual, the region was divided and Ojukwu still went ahead it with all of them, why do u think the region was divided?
Why is it that only lgb0s say that millions of their people were kiIIed?
Why is it that only lgb0s claim to be vîctîms of the war without regards to the people of SS?
The fact remains that if Ojukwu had gone with only his tribesmen, there would have been Biafra ages ago.

Stop the propaganda and post your own proof that minority tribes were not fully represented in Eastern Consultative Assembly that voted and gave Ojukwu mandate to declare Biafra.
Btw,it was Frank Opigo an Ijaw from present day Bayelsa state and member of Eastern house of assembly that suggested the name Biafra to be used as the name of the new nation and it was adopted by the house.Ojukwu's deputy and last president of Biafra was Gen Philip Effiong from Akwa Ibom state.
