Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) protested in front of the United Nations building today, August 23rd in solidarity for the director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu who is in prison on charges of treason and other related crimes.

What these people fail to realize is the shame and ridicule the biafra movement has become ever since Nnamdi kanu was discovered to be a fraud and arrested by the Nigerian government. Right to self determination is a treasonable offense against the Nigerian state because it's not captured in our Constitution. It is totally illegal for any region or group of people to demand seccession from Nigeria. The penalty would have been death if we were in a military regime. The Indian government recently opened fire on secessionist in the Kashmir region of India just to serve as a deterrent to future agitators. Despite having a referendum, Scotland chose to remain in the UK cos they for-saw their impending doom if they decide to leave. The Spanish government have disregarded several calls for catalonia to break away from spain. Russia recently annexed crimea from Ukraine after the crimeans got tired of life outside the soviet Union. The people of South Sudan are regretting their decision to leave Sudan till today and yet the Igbo's are hell bent on having biafra despite all the glaring indices of an impending failure if biafra is ever achieved. No country in the world wants a break away of its territory. Even the United States that preaches freedom disregarded Texas's call for seccession. The reason for seccession of the Igbo's has not been clearly defined. The fruitless agitations is fuelled by hate and jealousy of other region's political stability and doggedness. Their political miscalculations in the last elections gave birth to the recent biafra calls headed by the disgruntled element called Nnamdi kanu who was feeding fat on the Biafran sentiment before been apprehended. The British saw a potential in our diversity before merging us together as a united Nigeria and every sane mind believes the future of the Igbo's lie in nigeria. What we need is a united south and we will wrestle political power away from Northern monopoly who sees power as their birth right. Will the Igbo's ever work with bourdillon to achieve a united south? Time will tell. Say no to biafra, God bless Nigeria sad

The reason the north keeps dominating is because they are united. Buhari has been winning Jonathan in the north since 2011 but he needed paltry votes from the SW to defeat Jonathan in 2015. This means there is power in unity if the south unites. Will the Igbo's unite with the SW? Your guess is as good as mine undecided

Trash!
Why didn't you say anything about countries that successfully seceded and are doing well. ..e.g. Singapore, Malaysia, etc.
The injustice in Nigeria is way too grave.

Just look at the country- truth is that there is no love across tribes!
Why continue to live in denial because of "united Nigeria"?
Patriotism to ones country is of the mind...it's not valid under duress

I ignored him when he started his tales of Isrealites and Egypt instead of a comprehensive analysis on how the biafra will come to be. Their arguments is always based on sentiments and religious bigotry. No wonder the biafra agitations is not close to fruition. U need to listen to radio biafra and hear the Nonsense they spew every second. Al they know is to insult Nigerians, the president and call on chukwu okike abiama to give them biafra. No mission, vision and objectives as to why and how their biafra will be achieved. I consider them clowns seeking attention. Separatists movements are usually led by intellectuals who have a template and blue print of what the break away nation would look like. See how Lee Kuan yew transformed Singapore from nothing to world class. Ask Nnamdi kanu his mission for biafra and hear his hoards of IPOB yoots rain insults on you and call u yoloba. grin i see their agitations as mere comic relief

How can u unite with a region u consider a waste already? Can u see who the real hypocrite is? I know you are an IPOB yoot hiding behind a female moniker to receive fair criticisms but I'm not decieved. The SW you consider a waste is the region u keep blaming for not letting you go cos of your perpetual fear of the Hausa/fulani ever since the civil war. It really sucks to be a biafran grin

What do Igbo's have in common with SS they are trying to lure into their deluded biafra by all means? Will it not end up as strange bedfellows you are presently criticizing? Even the ikweres and aniomas are denying their igbo roots and ready to go with Niger Delta Republic. Biafra is a comic relief grin

why are you afraid of Biafra
you love to live with people you hate and they hate you in return.

you ingrates will still not waste time to remind Igbos how lagos is a yoruba land and that they should vacate their properties for yorubas in this your illusion one Nigeria.

one thing is certain, Igboland is blessed whether in Nigeria or Biafra.



No one hates Igbo's stop the unnecessary blackmail. Those childish tantrums is what led your region into political oblivion hence the reason for comic biafra agitations. Biafra will never be achieved if your leaders are contended with the status quo. They should be the one's pushing for referendum in Abuja. Not non-entities like Nnamdi kanu who is foolishly instigating violence which might lead to a civil war. You see why the whole world doesn't take the biafra agitations serious? angry

United nations head quarters in south Africa?

Meanwhile have we engaged our senators and house of rep members in Nigeria?
Have we give on protest march in abuja to united Nations office?
Have we gone to national and state assembly and forced them to pass an amendment for the constitution so we can have a referendum?

No.....

Our mission is to abuse buhari and call him a tyrant as if he has any powers to give us biafra?
