My Position on Biafra — and What Truly Matters Now

There comes a time in every nation’s story when the people demand clarity. Not cleverness. Not caution. Clarity.

This is my answer to those asking where I stand on the question of Biafra, separation, and the disintegration of Nigeria.

Let me begin here:

I Have Nothing but Love and Honor for the Igbo People

My beloved spiritual father—Professor John Ofoegbu, the most Christ-like man I’ve ever known—was a proud Igbo man from Ngugu, a small village near Owerri. It was in that village that he laid his hands on me in prayer and passed his mantle. And it was there, a few years later, that we buried him.

To me, Owerri is my Nigerian hometowm.

My first several trips to Nigeria were through the southeast—Owerri, Port Harcourt, Umuahia, Aba. And I have always felt welcome there. The people I know from there are among the most joyful, upright, resilient, hospitable, and generous people I’ve encountered anywhere in the world.

I have been honored with the name Eze Okechukwunenye, “King whom God has greatly blessed.” And I wear that name with humility.

I’m tribe-blind by nature. I don’t see facial structures, names, character traits or dialects through a tribal lens. I see people. Maybe that’s naïve to some, but I don’t plan to change.

I Know the History. I See the Wound.

I’m not ignorant of the British colonial engineering that drew lines across a land that was never meant to function as one. I’m aware of how Nigeria was built—not for peace, but for profit. The way this country was stitched together, it was designed to fail. And it has failed—at least by human standards.

But failure is not final when God is involved.

Out of ashes, He can raise a remnant. And out of betrayal, He can forge a new brotherhood. Whether Nigeria stays as one or breaks into pieces is not mine to say. God has not shown me. So I will not speak.

But I Will Say This With Full Conviction:

I will not speak about the disintegration of Nigeria. I will speak only about the destruction of the jihad-genocide machine—until that evil is uprooted, exposed, and judged.
There is a cancer in the land: militant terror, state-backed slaughter, ethnic cleansing disguised as “clashes.” And while this demonic machine rolls over villages, slaughters families, burns churches, and fills IDP camps—I will not waste my voice arguing over flags.

Now is not the time for Biafra debates.
Now is not the time for tribal politics.
Now is not the time to chase independence while our neighbors are being buried in mass graves.

This is the hour of one fight: the eradication of the jihadist terror system and the deliverance of Nigeria’s innocent.

If we do not unite to destroy that evil, it will destroy all of us—no matter what tribe we come from, or what border we redraw.

To My Biafran Brothers and Sisters:

I hear your cry. I carry your pain. I will never dismiss your story.

But right now, I urge you—do not divide the army while we’re in the middle of war. Don’t let your legitimate dream be used as a tool of division while the true enemy butchers your kin.

If your heart is set on independence—then fight this terror first, and pursue your flag after the fire is out.

That’s how you build a peaceful future. That’s how you ensure strong neighbors—not enemies at every border. That’s how you show the world you weren’t just angry—you were righteous.

My Final Word:

Justice first.
Truth first.
Life first.

This is my position. And until the Lord tells me otherwise, I will not shift. You may not agree. That’s fine. But at least now, you know exactly where I stand.

May the blood of the righteous not be ignored.
May the wolves be exposed.
And may the remnant rise.

Nigeria may have been built to fail. But if we walk in truth, justice, and unity against evil—Nigeria will rise, and then chart her future.

Time for tableshaker to come shake small tribal nyash.

True words!! We don't seek to divide but the country Nigeria is the one dividing us

Nwoke a na ako MGBU MGBU

Nigeria is a sovereign nation, it is the duty of our idiotic lawmakers to bring this matter to the Senate but it seems like all of them are after their pockets for now. Whenever they are tired of one Nigeria, they will move the motion.

For now, one Nigeria is a no go area for them.
Umu chukwu okike abiama ZUKWAA NU IKE.

If una nor wan rest, the enter the bush and continue your God's work.

BODY GO EVERLY DEY TELL UNA

Nigeria can not function properly as one entity. It's starkly obvious. This man is just mocking you.

Brilliant piece.


Some people are only pretending to love Nigeria just because the corrupt and discombobulated Nigerian system is favoring their region, but deep down their hearts, they know that Nigeria is built to fail as a nation.

is it neccessary for some people to be in chain for Nigeria to survive put them in helm they will destroying it with covetousness and Nsogbu nsogbu
Some things are not fair but just

He speaks wonderfully well. But there's something he's not getting a true picture about, probably because he's not a Nigerian or living in Nigeria. All pointers show that the FG is sympathetic to terrorism and that also means the Nigerian Army is sympathetic to it as well. With or without the South Easterners in the army, as long as the FG is not giving a damn about solving the terrorism problem, the menace will continue to fester and keep spreading.

So, if you ask me, I'd prefer the country is divided to contain the spread of terrorism. Imagine we have Biafra today, tell me how northern terrorists/bandits/herdsmen will walk the streets of South East. Even the South Westerners will push them off their land (I don't trust them though). The current FG has been aiding their spread. You touch them, you get jailed. They touch you and nothing happens. This isn't the kind of Nigeria that we want.

NIGERIA needs to be divided.

The UNITY is a farce that benefits those that don't have the interest of the so called 1 NIGERIA at heart.

BIAFRA will survive without JIHADISTS and their minority supporters, who hide behind the BIAFRA/IGBO hatred to survive the direct onslaught of the JIHADISTS.

Why will IGBOs bear the brunt's of the failings of other tribes?

The SW is directly aiding the Northern JIHADISTs, by supporting all their atrocities against other tribes!! When the IGBOs retaliate, you see the SW media amplifying the scenerio out of proportion, so as to be seen as loyal to their Northern masters.

IGBOs fought a war and these two regions (SW and NORTH) with their foreign backers did the unspeakable and unthinkable against a region that resorted to self-help to survive during and after the war till this day!!

Reno O'fuckery, that rants aimlessly, is a rabid IGBO hater because of the need to survive poverty. That individual and his cohorts are a typical example of tribes that align with their suppressors against IGBOs, just to have their bellies filled and pockets lined with illicit funds.

Nnamdi Kanu is in Prison for treason, because he asks for a referendum and activated self-help mechanisms to enable his people defend themselves from JIHADISTs. Who are exterminating people and communities but are still being pardoned by successive Governments and called ReFORMED Terrorists. Nnamdi Kanu's crime is that he spoke truth to tyrants.

Sunday IGBOHO, also charged for treason is walking freely. Even though the Government agreed he was on their wanted list. Has he been arrested or dehumanized for seeking a valid human right?

Omotosho, the Judge is Presiding over a case of the corrupt 'Police' Abba kyari that was to be extradited to USA for fraud with the hushpuppi kriminal. Abba kyari is freely walking around, even with mounting evidence of killing IGBO youths when posted to the SE.

Mike, IGBOs have passed that period of reasoning with those that undermine, mock , castigate,bear false witness against them.

NIGERIA must divide and let every region develop at their set pace.

The Unification of NIGERIA was initiated in 1914 with a 100year timeframe for renegotiations on UNITY.

It's obvious it won't and can't work ,100+ yrs later.

BIAFRA is the ultimate prize and the Lord ALMIGHTY is with us. Even as those against us hate

Christians
Love HAMAS,AlQeda, etc
Hate Israel
Hate Trump
Hate everything apart from Islamic radicalization and forced conversion to their doctrines.

BIAFRA is the benchmark... nothing more. NIGERIA is a FRAUD against HUMANITY.

Thank you.

We die here together

Yes, I agree with you..

Illorin people have to be in the chains of the Fulani Emirate for Nigeria to survive.

It may not be fair but it is just.

We will watch to see how you will end terrorism without partitioning the country when the government and the security forces you're all partnering with also partner with the terrorists, according to victims' testimonies.

Truth! Where Rhino OmOKRO, aka anywhere bele face, make him come yarn him dust?

Nlfpmod.....Mike Arnold is truly pushing some buttons here.
