The most recent development has shook everyone once again. And it is the news of the upcoming referendum for Biafra.
Biafra referendum
The month of June ended with a hopeful promise for the country of Biafra. The United States President Donald Trump announced the Biafra referendum date. It is to be held on July 21, 2017. This news was shared on Facebook by the Indigenous People of Biafra (or IPOB for short) representative in the US, Candy Stallworth.
According to her post, five leaders of the IPOB movement in the US will come to the White House for the referendum. Donald Trump, who has been a long-time supporter of Biafra, has granted his political power to the Biafran movement.
This development has been a long time coming. For years, members of IPOB and other pro-Biafra organizations have been rallying and protesting, trying to make their voice heard by the Nigerian government. For example, before the date for the referendum was announced, IPOB threatened to sabotage the government elections in Anambra State. Now that the date for the referendum is set, they are one step closer to the recognition of Biafra.
Biafra supporters and believers rejoice, as they see this referendum as a guarantee that Biafra will rise again. Their positive attitude is also fueled by government officials from other countries. State representatives from Great Britain and Turkey voiced their support of the movement for the independence of Biafra.
However, many claim that the referendum will not necessarily grant Biafra freedom. One of those people is Governor Aminu Bello Masari. In a recent interview, he said that, referendum or no referendum, Biafra has no place in the world. He thinks that Nigeria should stay united, as it is stronger when the three main tribe (Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba) stand together.
In Masari’s opinion, Biafra is just another fluke. He compared Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, to Boko Haram, who tried to forge an empire. He also drew an analogy between IPOB and the O'odua People's Congress (a Yoruba nationalist organization). Governor Masari said that members of pro-Biafra groups are not fighting for the idea, but more for the political power it will bring them.
Many people like Masari condemn pro-Biafra and other nationalist groups for separatist ideas. However, even Masari himself does not actually blame them for wanting independence. People will grow tired of being forced to live in the country they do not believe in. That is why they took a stand. This referendum will hopefully resolve the situation and have a positive result for everyone involved.
What is Biafra?
READ ALSO: Map of Biafra and states
To remind you, Biafra existed from 1967 to 1970. It was located in the northern part of Nigeria. It was divided into 25 states with the capital in Owerri. Biafra states correspond with today’s Nigerian states of Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Imo, Abia, Cross River, Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Delta. Although the accuracy of this is up for debate as the official document on the Republic of Biafra has not exactly specified the borders.
Even though it has been almost 50 years since Biafra ceased to exist, many people still feel the need for Biafra to be considered an independent country. Which is why the Biafra breaking news about the referendum has caused quite a commotion among both Biafra supporters and opponents.
It is hard to say exactly what this referendum might bring. There are a lot of people that are pro-Biafra, those who call themselves Biafrans and reject the Nigerian nationality. At the same time, there are plenty of those who don’t even think Biafra should exist at all, let alone be independent. We will have to wait and see. July 21st is right around the corner, and a few weeks is not that long.

Let my people go. ... .

not exactly true. Candy Stallworth just got an invitation to the White House and she hopes to use that as an avenue to make a case for Biafran referendum. It's a step in the right direction, but it is still not enough!

Hahaha you guys never cease to amaze, so a referandum held outside Nigeria is valid in Nigeria? I use to be angry about IPOBs buffonery now I only laugh at them

Chai,so much for the educated and sophisticated people.
USA now has the power to force a referendum on a sovereign nation.

How can people be this gullible. Even the so called almajiris can not think this way.

This is looking more like child's play day by day until the elites decides to take up the responsibility, the dream and aspirations of e yourth towards the actualization of Biafra remains a pipe dream.

Dont bother quoting me if you have nothing intelligent to say.

All hail Biafra

I thought Ipob were only drug dealers and kidnappers so una add stupidity join. How can America enforce referendum on a sovereign nature. Its really spare part and sales boys that make up dis biafra

You have to wonder how they think sometimes.

...and you wondered why people failed Jamb?
...and you wondered how people gets easily scammed?
...is this the way things works?
....can the president of another country force another sovereign nation to conduct a refrerandum?
...is this the reason people were scammed by telling them to buy biafra's pounds with Nigerian Naira?
...and you wondered how people bought the biafran passport...a passport to nowhere?!!!

Please Igbo intellectuals should step in and help educate ipob
