S’East, S’South Pro-Biafra Groups Rally To Honour
Fallen Heros,

Members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a Pro-
Biafra group from the southeast and south-south states
of the country, last weekend gathered in Aba, Abia
State, to honour fallen heroes of their group who died
during the Nigerian-Biafran war.

Numbering over 10, 000, and as early as 9am, the
group gathered in front of Christ the King Catholic
Cathedral church from where they took off in groups
and marched through the streets of the commercial
city, which lasted for over eight hours and cutting
acrossOgbor Hill, Aba-Owerri road, Tonimas-Umule axis,
Ariaria, Port Harcourt road through Flyover Bus Stop,
among others.

Traffic was disrupted throughout their rally, even as the
state governor’s entourage had to take extra minutes
detours to make it through Ogbor hill to his
Umuobiakwa country home, while commuters,
motorists and residents of Aba, trooped out in their
numbers to have a glimpse of what was happening.

Several police patrol had followed the procession
around, while their patrol vans were also seen at
various strategic junctions where the Armoured
Personnel Carrier was stationed at Ehi road by CKC,
apparently to ensure that the peaceful protest didn’t
turn violent.

Speaking, some members of the group said that the
movement in Aba was to honour some of the fallen
heroes of Biafran, who died during the Nigerian-Biafran
Civil war, adding that it was also part of their efforts to
further push for their agitation for the realiasation of
the sovereign state of Biafra.

According to one Kalu Francis, “It is more than
100years after Lord Lugard amalgamated the people of
Southern and Northern Protectorates. According to the
treaty, it was agreed that after 100years, anyone that
felt that they are no longer comfortable with the way
things are being done, has the right to secede and that
is what we are doing.

“We are the Indigenous People of Biafra and we believe
that the time has come for us to let the world know
how badly we have been treated as a people. Even when
we lay the eggs that feeds the nation, we are still not
benefiting from the eggs we lay.

“What we are saying is that we want to be free and until
we realise the dreams and aspirations of our founding
fathers, we shall continue to push the struggle and push
our case to its logical conclusion.

“People think that we are going to be troublesome, but
we chose the path of peace and honour as a non-
violent group to pass our message to the international
community that we are no longer comfortable. What we
want is a sovereign state of Biafra and nothing else.”

However, residents of Aba have commended the police
operatives for exhibiting maturity in the way they
handled the protesters, stating that it was a paradigm
shift from what was obtainable in the past.

They added that if the template set out on Sunday by
the police could be sustained, “they will be achieving
the saying ‘police is your friend’ and not the enemy of
the public.”

You Yoruba's are nothing but lying mongrels. Your cocoa wealth STOPPED in western region. F2king FACT.The East feed itself through palm oil sales while the North feed itself through the groundnuts sales. FACT. Your damn 'cocoa' didn't go past western state. Sh1t even back then your greedy people used the cocoa wealth to feed just the Yoruba state, non-yoruba state in the western region didn't get Sh1t from una and I should know I'm from delta state which was part of western region at that time. Spare us with your lies.
Yesterday you ppl try to spread it was your cocoa money that cultivated and developed the oil industry. When that for busted, you people now moved to a new propaganda that oil feed the whole country. What's next? What's the next propaganda from una?
