| IPOB Backs Trump’s Efforts To End Ethno-religious Violence In Nigeria by Visblog(op): 5:53am On Nov 04, 2025 |
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared its full support for former U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed efforts to address what it describes as “ethno-religious violence and persecution” in Nigeria. In a statement released by its U.S. chapter and signed by spokesperson Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra group urged Nigerians living in America to remain vigilant and resist any attempts by the Nigerian government to “deceive the international community” over ongoing attacks and killings in the country. The statement comes in response to Trump’s recent classification of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” over religious persecution. IPOB announced plans to stage peaceful demonstrations in Washington, D.C., to protest an alleged meeting between Nigerian officials and Trump, accusing the government of trying to “conceal evidence of killings, church burnings, and persecution of Christians and indigenous peoples.” According to IPOB, its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, had long warned of rising attacks on Christian communities and indigenous groups across Nigeria but was “persecuted and imprisoned” for exposing the truth. The group alleged that several communities across the Middle Belt, Southern Kaduna, Kwara, and Biafraland remain under siege, adding that “silence in the face of such violence amounts to complicity.” Describing the planned protest as “peaceful but powerful,” IPOB called on Nigerians of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds, along with international human rights organizations, to join the movement. “Unity is our shield, and the world must hear the cry of the oppressed. America must stand with the victims, not their oppressors,” the statement added. https://www.visblog.ng/2025/11/ipob-supports-trump-nigeria-ethno-religious-violence.html?m=1

The US government would not allow any protest on their soil. The IPOB are just looking for a way to escape the own self imposed hardship |

It's insane for anyone to consider IPOB a terrorist organisation. If Buhari and Tinubu did what they were supposed to do, IPOB wouldn't bother forming an ESN. What I find shocking is that someone calls himself a president and knows those financing terrorism in Nigeria without using the DSS to take them out! They probably think that being a president is all about bearing the title. |

God will bless America if their Real intention is to help curb terrorism and incessant killings in Nigeria. God will bless Nigerian government if actually they have put enough effort to the best of their ability to end incessant killings and terrorism and not using it for politics |

AqualinaXYZ:WHO STOPPED YOU FROM GOING? Buhari offered Kanu all five states in 2017 and said ''Go and form your new country'', and Kanu refused, saying it must include Rivers state, Benue state etc. So the problem is you are criminals who want to steal Nigeria's oil and gas resources under the guise of ''Igbo self-determination''. |

Kemetian:There are too many dumb people in this country. First of all, Buhari has no such right to cede any part of Nigeria to anyone. Second of all, if Buhari wanted the SE region to leave the country, he should've made a public statement about it so it could be on record and we will take him seriously. I hate hearsays! |

Nigerians are already aware of the IPOB antics. They are not a serious group. They are just using their usual gimmick to gain attention for their leader who is facing treason charges. |

IPOB should focus on Kanu and stop trying to use him for their agenda. The Trump thing is not going to help them in any way. |

Nnamdi Kanu's detention is due to his criminal activities, not for warning about attacks on Christian communities. This is a false narrative that IPOB is pushing. May God bless Nigeria for ever! |

helinues:Federal government of Nigeria declared IPOB. Terrorist group?? Are you being serious? Same federal government of Nigeria that has turned a blind eye to Fulani terrorist acts across Nigeria! Federal government of Nigeria that has enough intel about sponsors of boko haram and turned a blind eye to the evil being perpetuated against the citizens that it’s supposed to protect! Same federal government of Nigeria is the one that declared IPOB a terrorist group. Helinues, which state are you from? |
