₦airaland Forum

The Pan Niger Delta Forum and the Indigenous People of Biafra exchanged words, on Wednesday, over the alleged inclusion of the Niger Delta region in IPOB’s Biafran secessionist agenda.

PANDEF, through its National Youth Leader, Donben Donyegha, released a statement in Port Harcourt rejecting any association with Biafra, reaffirming its commitment to a united Nigeria built on equity and justice.

However, IPOB dismissed the concerns, calling them “garbage” and reiterating that it does not force communities to join the Biafran cause.

In the statement, Donyegha decried the inclusion of Niger Delta communities in IPOB’s plans as “provocative and insulting” to the region’s leaders and people.


“We, therefore, warn that the continued inclusion of PANDEF areas or communities into the so-called Biafra Republic is provocative. Any further attempt to disregard or belittle our leaders and fathers by claiming Niger Delta towns or territories as part of Biafra will meet strong resistance from us, the youths. Niger Delta is not Biafra,” he declared.

PANDEF reiterated its advocacy for a united Nigeria under a federal system where states manage their resources and contribute taxes to the Federal Government.

“We believe in the unity of Nigeria, but it must be a Nigeria where sub-national entities control their God-given resources while supporting the centre with taxes for territorial integrity and foreign diplomacy,” Donyegha stated.

Responding in an interview, IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, refuted claims of forcing communities into the Biafran agenda.

He attributed such allegations to misinformation spread by a splinter group operating under the guise of IPOB.

“IPOB is not part of the group forcing any community in Nigeria to join Biafra State. Those doing so in the name of Biafra are content creators from Finland autopilot group, and they are not part of IPOB,” Powerful said.

He emphasised that IPOB’s focus remained on achieving independence through peaceful means, including a referendum where individuals can freely decide their allegiance.

“When referendum comes, people decide what they want; nobody will force them into the new nation called Biafra,” he said.

Powerful called for restraint, urging media outlets and groups to stop linking IPOB with fringe elements.

“IPOB remains what it was from the beginning and will not shift ground until Biafra independence is fully announced by the United Nations. Every tribe and clan will have the freedom to decide their fate during the referendum,” he said.

You want others to get your Biafra for you?
I thought you all claim to be the smartest, richest, most powerful, the best in everything yet you want others to get a nation for you.
Had lgb0s ever built a homogeneous society in their entire existence?
You never got one and now, you want others to get it for you.

Aren't you shameless...

See your fear of being alone with Yoruba and the core North.

You are irrelevant...

No matter how you praise them they will still betray and make you look foolish

how and why

Niger Delta Republic will never go with Biafra, period.
Remember the Niger Delta Republic was declared by Isaac Boro long before Biafra was declared.
Let everyone answer their name.

You are not from niger delta. Face your region.

DrMrsAdeniran:
You are not from niger delta. Face your region.

Stop saying what you cannot defend.
Stop saying things out of emotional sentiment.
Your guess is very wrong okay.

The Igala have been informing everyone that by the time they claim what truly belongs to Igalaland in the SE half of Anambra,Enugu and Ebonyi would disappear from the Map of the SE.

You better remove them from Biafra

It's always been a tough time being a Nigerian

Normally all Igbo land are not up to one local government in the north.


But they were given 5 tiny states which embolden them to claim major tribe.

Kanuri, Ijaw and igala people should come before this overrated tribe.
