Keep fighting for division but u will neva succeed in dividing Nigerian people..
What have you done to enrich the lives of your people, what job have u created.... Nonsense.
Stop playing hide and seek com back to Nigeria and face the government like everyone else.

Kanu is not trying to divide Nigeria but to pull his people out of Nigeria. Nigeria will still remain just like Singapore and Malaysia.

Upton:
Nothing will happen to Nigeria, it takes more than going to Brussels to divide a country.

On a lighter note, where will Edo now stand? Will Edo be a country on it's own? Because we don't want to join oduduwa republic o. It's better we remain one Nigeria.

So because Edo doesn't know where to go that's why everyone will remain and suffocate in Nigeria. You better start now making peace with the Yoruba or better still fight for you own sovereignty.

We need video evidence

Even CNN has the news, INUGO

post the link let's see

Show us pictures of him addressing the Parliament cos I know a lie when I see one.

ImperialYoruba:
This presentation is very poor!

You don't go infront of a world body with grievance, all they would do is identify your issue as a dispute between parties and feel they must assign a peacemaker to resolve the dispute.

The following are lacking from the presentation:
First, who is Igbo? Give account that predate colonization, that you were an independent state that is older and rooted more than Nigeria.
Second, what happened to your land in the hand of colonizers.
Third, how colonizers unilaterally decided without your consent that you are now Nigerian
Fourth, tell them your own truthful struggle against the robbery of your nativity and independence
Fifth, share the Nigerian response to your fight for liberation

...I can go on to twenty or more points. Kanu should not be talking about Fulani or ruga. He should be focusing on Biafran liberation and telling the European delegates that Biafra have the right to demand its exit from a union of disharmony and disadvantage in the same spirit which the European Union recognizes and ackowledges for BREXIT.

I am dissapointed in this presentation. E no swell my head at all at all!


I trust my Yoruba people. If Yoruba present a dissent against Nigeria the whole Council go stand up in awe and roar with applause. It will be oratory because we will bring our tonal accent into play and dramatize our love for diplomacy and tact.

I agree with you with you that the presentation is very poor but the most important thing is the move Ipob is making.

Before you even get to the part of presenting anything before the European council, you have to be agitating for self determination. Yorubas dont have the backbone to agitate for a separate state to even talk about going to the European council for that

Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra ,IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Tuesday visited the European Parliament in Brussels where he made strong case for the restoration of Biafra Republic.

Kanu who was at Brussels on the invitation of EU Parliament was accompanied by top ranking IPOB members.

Below is a full text of his address to the EU Parliament which was made available to news men by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful:

BIAFRA BRIEFING FOR THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT...

Nigeria in Crisis

There is a crisis in Nigeria. The Nigerian State has never been at peace with itself and recent events amplify this pending emergency.

And, as has been the case since independence from Britain in 1960, Biafrans are the easy target of the lack of a credible Nigerian state. Nigeria governs without the consent of all within its borders. Nigeria claims to be ruled by law, but in effect there is a de facto lawlessness in Nigeria.

Nigeria’s epidemic of violence flowing from the North is well documented. In 2014 the Global Terrorism Index judged Fulani militants to be the fourth most deadly terror group in the world, behind Boko Haram, Isis and the Taliban.

Lawlessness is always one step ahead of the Government. In response, the Government, when it is convenient for it to do so, attempts to give a veneer of legality to the lawlessness. Recent proposed land reforms across Nigeria do just that. The Fulani herders from the North are increasingly encroaching on the settled farmers of the South/South East. This includes Biafra. As Amnesty International has reported, there were more than 2,000 deaths in 2018 linked to this land crisis. Instead of seeking to address the violence, the Government has sought to condone it and legitimise the land grab.

There is an underlying problem in the North which has to do with climate change and encroaching desertification due to overgrazing and deforestation. This has drawn Fulani herdsmen further south and led to violence against Biafran farmers seeking to defend their land and crops. The fertile farming lands of Biafra are very attractive to the Fulani.

To address this land crisis, the Government, the President of which is Fulani, sought to establish the RUGA scheme (an acronym for Rural Grazing Area – or is it, as some suggest, a Fulani word?) whereby Fulani herders could officially move into areas and absorb land as part of a Government co-ordinated programme across Nigeria.

Is this an attempt to develop settled land practices for the Fulani, or, as is the experience of Biafrans, is the drive behind RUGA an attempt to Fulanise (or Islamise) Biafraland and force out Biafrans? Biafrans who stand up to the Fulani are killed. Because of the uproar across Nigeria, the RUGA settlement programme has been suspended, but the National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP) remains in place. This programme advocates ranching. How different is it from RUGA? For Biafrans the effect is the same. They are forced from their land and will be killed if they do not make way for the Fulani.

Nigeria: The Problem, Not the Solution
Nigeria has always been a fiction. The state we now know as Nigeria was created for British administrative and colonial convenience in 1914. An audacious move by the British, but no surprises in Empire. Britain’s Nigeria drew together disparate people into one entity.

To over simplify, to the North are the Muslims. Two ethnic groups dominate the North, the Hausa and Fulani. The Fulani are now in the ascendency. One hundred years ago these were semi-nomadic, pastoral people. Many Fulani continue to live as herders. The South is mainly Christian and in the South East there is also a vibrant Jewish tradition. The rural communities in the South/South East tend to be settled farmers. The principal ethnic group in the South is the Yoruba.

The South East is the region that makes up Biafraland or Biafra. There is a coherence to Biafra. Its western border is the River Niger and it incorporates most of the Niger delta. The eastern border is Cameroon. To the west, across the Niger, are the Yoruba. In the north are the Muslim people. Despite colonisation and being forcibly absorbed into Nigeria, Biafrans are defined by common values and a shared sense of identity. Biafrans don’t all speak the same language. Many Biafrans are Igbo speakers. Other Biafrans speak Urhobo-Isoko, Ijaw-Epie-Ogbia, Ogoni, Efik, Annang, Eket-, Oron-Ibibio, Ogoja, Ejagham, Igala, Idoma, Ibani and Igbanke among others.

To put Biafra in its Nigerian geo-political context, Biafraland is made up of the following Provinces: Rivers Province, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Imo, Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Bayelsa and Delta. Fulani herdsman have shown great interest in those provinces that form the central belt of Biafra, such as Enugu.

The Biafran War (1967-1970)
With independence, the persecution of Biafrans started. One colonial master was replaced by another, although, and without endorsing British rule, Biafrans fared better under the British than they have under Nigerian dominance.

First, the Biafrans who had been transplanted to the North by the British were massacred. Those that survived fled back to Biafra. The oppression and intimidation did not cease. In 1967, Biafra was left with no choice but to proclaim independence. Nigeria declared war.

Biafra didn’t stand a chance. The conflict turned the Cold War on its head. The Soviet Union and Britain actively supported Nigeria. “Biafra, Britain’s Shame” was how many described the UK position. French compassion was gratefully received but it could do little to protect the fledgling state. America’s neutrality in effect backed Nigeria. China was silent. The UN was hopeless. Biafra was doomed. Starved into submission, after three years the Biafrans surrendered. At least 2 million Biafrans perished.

The atrocities, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against Biafra during the Biafran War remain unaccounted for. Was it an attempt at genocide? Biafrans were considered an existential threat to the state. The killings were indiscriminate. All Biafrans were targeted.

Biafra Subjugated
After the war, Biafrans slowly rebuilt their world. But, as far as Nigeria was concerned, they were not and never had been Biafrans. They were Nigerians from the South East or Igbo-speaking Nigerians. The Biafran War was airbrushed out of the Nigerian consciousness. Biafrans could only whisper about their loss. Joining the global Biafran diaspora was one option for those who could get out. Others remained in Biafraland, their Biafran identity amongst themselves, undiminished.

Nigeria continues to prioritise crushing assertions of Biafran identity. Even peacefully commemorating the War risks arrest, detention, prohibited ill-treatment or being shot.

In recent years the Nigerian state authorities have conducted three orchestrated campaigns against Biafrans. The three Operation Python Dance campaigns have been battles against Biafrans. The first campaign was in 2016, the second in 2017 and the third is ongoing. They are designed to undermine calls for Biafran self-determination.

Operation Python Dance campaigns intimidate. Serious and systemic human rights violations are carried out by state forces with impunity.

Fake news

Upton:
Nothing will happen to Nigeria, it takes more than going to Brussels to divide a country.

On a lighter note, where will Edo now stand? Will Edo be a country on it's own? Because we don't want to join oduduwa republic o. It's better we remain one Nigeria.

a fool you are. Stop dragging Edo name in mud if you are really an Edo man. Igbo's have redicule themselves before the world so don't drag us into it.

It's only a delusional person that believes there will be Biafra with all those tribes in it, the idiot even added edoid ethnic groups as part of the utopia "Biafra".

So don't worry about Edo because Benin kingdoms were the greatest civilisation in west Africa when Igbo's where running around naked in bushes. The fact remain Biafra will never come when all those ethnic groups are in it, they know Igbo's for who they are.. And if Biafra do come then Edo will separate themselves from it.

Nnamdi Kanu is a scammer....I repeat Nnamdi Kanu is a scammer!!!!
No be EU parliament na UN General Assembly

Not reacting to the speech composition which others have rightly pointed out to be grossly inadequate and should have elements describing pre-colonial Biafra.
Just wondering why it always seems as though he wants to forcibly co-opt the Niger Delta into his Biafra. Akwa Ibom part of Biafra? Ogoni part of Biafra?
Seems this Biafra is more of an oil grab of the minorities’ oil in the SS than anything else. Igbo man and sense

Learn to read and assimilate bro. It's not so difficult.
I already said nothing will happen to Nigeria. Is this too difficult to understand?
I only mentioned Edo being a country on it's own because we are not part of Biafra and we don't associate with the southwest either and I even said "on a lighter note".
So why are you ranting?

they can only fool their selves, the urhobo-isoko he mentioned was even in Midwestern region and they helped fight Biafra invaders. Many lives were lost and many women were raped by Biafra armies and they would rather die than be part of something they fight against.

The Niger Deltans have said it over and over again that they won't be part of the nonsense, it looks like the struggle for oil and access to sea have blocked their brain.

how do you think this Biafra is going for form? Do you even know they are encroaching into other ethnic group territory.

Do you know there are ethnic groups in river, bayelsa and Delta state that see themselves as Edo and traced their origin to Benin?. Do you know what's called " Edoid languages "?.

Stop listening to ipob nonsense, when it's time for real agitation, Nigeria will know.
