This Is What Biafra Stands For by cockoduck: 5:54pm On Aug 30, 2016
'I. have noticed some miscommunication and misperceptions about what the Biafra movement is about. Here are 9 key facts about the NEW BIAFRA that everyone should know. (1) Biafran agitation has nothing to do with hydrocarbon crude oil deposits in Niger Delta. Imo, Abia, Anambra are currently oil producing states in Nigeria, with huge natural gas reserves not forgetting the enormous untapped coal deposits in Enugu. (2) Biafra is not land-locked. It has numerous access to the sea, including through the River Niger. (3) Biafra entire population is about 35 million people which is greater than the population many advanced countries in Western Europe, including Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Austria….etc (4) Biafra does not or in any form signify war, violence, armed struggle or any sort of physical confrontation. BIAFRA IS NOT WAR! It simply means political, economic and socio- cultural freedom from a feudalist State ruled by terrorists and Jihadists. (5) Biafra is not a call for massive exodus to Igbo land. Put differently, every Igbo or Biafran must not live in Biafra land. Those who wish could still maintain their residency wherever they are as well as own properties anywhere in the world, including Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta… etc. (6) Independent and sovereign Biafra will never translate to loss or forfeiture of landed properties of her citizens in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in Nigeria. There are many domestic and international treaties, conventions and laws that protects Assets of non-citizens everywhere in the World, that will apply appropriately. (7) The NEW BIAFRA shall be a coalition of desirous and willing ethnic nationalities in defunct Eastern Nigeria and would never be a forceful annexation of any unwilling ethnic nationality within its current geo-political definition. Ijaws, Ogonis, Ibibio, Anangs, Efiks, Ogojas, and host of other ethnic minorities shall possess the privilege to decide whether to tango politically with their Igbo brethren or go their own separate ways or remain part of current structural deficient Nigeria. (cool Biafra is a train of peace and liberty. A desire for liberation from institutionalised stumbling blocks like quota system and federal character principles in Nigeria’s quasi- unitary society. It is a movement against internal colonialism, tribal gang-ups, economic marginalisation and political subjugation of Igbo and ethnic minority neighbours. (9) It has nothing to do with hate, bigotry or ethnic chauvinism. Just a desire to live in a healthy society where your tribe, tongue, religion or creed does not define who you are or how far you would go in your career.'

nice one.

good to put things in the right perspective.

and it does not mean the Yorubas will go hungry or die cos they are also very hardworking with God giving talents.

the hausas the same.

so its high time we see the Biafra struggle as the best decision to take then believing in a mirage
that things will get better.


in the words of Bishop Oyedepo, "You cannot keep doing the same thing and expect a different result"

Op don't sweat explaining yourself. The truth is that the Afonjarudeens know this even more than you do. They know that even without oil, present day SE and SS have know themselves for centuries.

It shatters their hearts that SS have refused to hate Igbo and embraced their muslim oshogbo oblong coneheads. They feeling like dying when Emeka and Kevwe from Delta embraces Ifeanyi from Imo.

See their divisive yorubamudeen skull. Concentrate your view on the gallop dividing the Anencepahlic Afonja skull therein. grin

You guys will only be taken serious when you learn diplomacy and tact.

Op was preaching a peaceful biafra but could not refrain from calling other people terrorists and Jihadist.

@ShootToKill, how many bridges do you intend to burn before biafra. Always know that you will need interaction with your neighbours when your biafra becomes reality and the way Ipob was going about it would have created a lot of enemies for the unborn. You need to calm down and redirect your anger to the right channel.
