Lol, whats ur concern? shifting the goal post as usual??

You guys cannot claim biafra when the name doesn't belong to you......the name biafra comes from a region in the present Cameroun and Gabon

There had never been one. The country was too young when it was decapitated by civil war, and it hasn't recovered up till now as you can see from the a tions Nnamdi Kanu and his folks

The group is ignorant because the name biafra does not belong to the igbos. Biafra according to 17th century african map is present day Cameroun and Gabon.

This man doesnt know what he is doing, the name biafra does not belong to the igbos. Biafra according to 17th century african map is present day Cameroun and Gabon. Until you guys get the right name to use for yourselves, you can all leave Nairaland for true nigerians

TonyeBarcanista:
Let me first apologise for posting this on this section. This is because I have been restricted from posting on politics section due to ban given to me by one of the moderators in that section.

The purpose of this thread is to call the attention of the Founder of Nairaland, Mr Seun Osewa over his decision to 'ban' the promotion of Biafran agitation on Nairaland.com. As most of us know, Rule 9 has been amended by the owner to reflect on the ban. Quoting the rule...


Though I am neither an Igboman nor one of the promoters of Biafra, I couldn't help but express displeasure in the rule because it violates Article 2 of United Nations Resolution on Self Determination (1960), Sections 35, 39 and 42 of the Constitution of Nigeria and also is in conflict with the principle of Social justice.

For avoidance of doubt, article 2 of the UN Resolution on Self-Determination states that...

All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

It clearly states that people should FREELY determine their status and freely pursue it.
The decision of Mr Seun has contravened this paragraph and it is not something we should celebrate.

Furthermore, Nigeria Constitution guarantee some rights to every citizen and group. Some of which include;

1. Right to personal liberty (Section 35): Every person is entitled to personal liberty.

2. Right to freedom of Expression (Section 39): Right to freedom of expression and the press is very fundamental to the sustenance of democracy

3. Right to freedom from discrimination (Section 42): No citizen of Nigeria shall be discriminated against on the basis of his community, ethnic group, place of origin, sex, religion or political opinion

All the aforementioned rights have been taken away by the amended rule 9 of Nairaland.com. Additionally, the decision of Mr Seun also contravenes the principle of social justice. For avoidance of doubt, Social justice principle is of the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities.

While I have been at the receiving end of some pro-Biafran promoters in terms of insults and abuse, it won't make me to support what I know is against their fundamental right as Nigerians and citizens of the world.

It will be more appropriate for the moderators to take down content by agitators of Biafra that promotes hate, violence and support arson. However, they deserve the right to be expressive. Those of us that believe in Nigeria will not hesitate to engage promoters of Biafra movement intellectually when opportuned.

Yes, we love promoters of Biafrans and some people don't want the Igbo nation or any other nation to secede but it is inappropriate to shut their voices. We have to uphold the tenet of democracy in promoting our unity.



May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria.

If nairaland means land of naira, and naira is the currency of Nigeria, don't you think it's insensible to ignore a hateful campaign to put Nigeria in chaos?

No one can stop biafra because there is no need to stop it. To start with, the name biafra does not belong to the igbos. Biafra according to 17th century african map is present day Cameroun and Gabon. Until you guys get the right name to use for yourselves, you can all leave Nairaland for true nigerians
