[ Masterweb Reports: Address by Radio Biafra Director & IPOB Leader at WIC 2015 Convention ] - With great humility and submission to the will of the Most High Chukwu Okike Abhiama puru ime ihe nile, I stand before you today here in Los Angeles California, in the presence of the children of light, the custodians of our traditions in faraway lands, the bringers of hope and savior of the Black race the World Igbo Congress. I acknowledge the presence of each and every one of you,
especially the members of the high table, distinguished ladies and gentlemen here
gathered and those listening around the world. I say “ndewo nu umu Chineke” to
all of you.

It is my guess that the question on the lips of every delegate here today is perhaps
‘what is Nnamdi Kanu doing here at the congress of all Igbos worldwide talking
about the global effort to restore Biafra’?. My answer as always is a very simple
one, ‘izu ka nma na nne ji’. There will be no Biafra without the support of World
Igbo Congress in particular and the Igbos in the USA in general.

Every right-thinking human being knows that the slogan “One Nigeria” is a ruse.
Nigeria was not a united country and will NEVER be a united country even in
the foreseeable future. To refresh our memories, Nigeria is a country made up of
three distinct nations with mutually exclusive and diametrically opposed and
irreconcilable value systems. Among these nations, BIAFRA is the only one with
a distinct and internationally accepted Republican value system predicated upon
the twin philosophy of (1) “Egbe bere ugo bere” the principle of natural justice,
fairness, equity and equality before the spiritual and temporal laws and (2)
“Eziokwu bu ndu” which is the weaving of the irreducibility of truth into the day
to day discourse of life, in essence a life of nobility predicated on honesty.

Futhermore and ingrained in the DNA of every Biafran, is the axiomatic
expression that “Chi bu Eze” or God is King. Regrettably, the British colonial
masters forcefully merged BIAFRA with the other two nations of AREWA and
ODUDUWA to form what is known today as Nigeria. Implicit in our value
system and its incompatibility with those from other merged nations lies the need
for the immediate extrication and restoration of the nation of Biafra from the
country called Nigeria to represent as it was ordained a pinnacle of hope for the
black race the world over. That Nigeria is perpetually in the doldrums politically,
economically, and socially is of no surprise to any discerning mind and keen
followers of the miserable history of Nigeria. After all, is it not why today we
found ourselves in far flung lands like the USA and many more countries around
the world? The frustrating part of this history is the fact that Biafrans have been
at the receiving end of the sorry state of affairs in Nigeria even though they
possess the manpower and resources to sustain themselves and flourish as an
independent nation.

Biafrans are known for their industrious and enterprising lifestyle propelled by
sheer hard work and the “can do” spirit. Biafrans don’t run away from history,
rather they make history. Biafrans are adventurous and are not afraid to venture
into the unknown. But the same cannot be said of other merged nations in the
country called Nigeria. Biafrans have been held down and their development
arrested by virtue of merging them with other nations to form Nigeria.
 
One of the questions going through the minds of many could be; but who are
actually the Biafrans or put in another way; what is the footprint of Biafraland?

Biafraland consists of the states in the present South East and South-South with
the exception of Edo state but including Igbanke in Edo state. Biafraland also
include Igala in Kogi state and Idoma land in Benue state. In all these areas we
have the traditional four-market days and their women tie two-piece wrappers
and have names and words that are interchangeable irrespective of the state.


For over 100 years Biafrans have endured the unholy marriage called
amalgamation and creation of Nigeria by the British colonial masters. Biafrans at
home and in the diaspora can no longer endure the subjugation of Biafra under
Nigeria. As in most revolutions and emancipation struggles, patriotic citizens in
diaspora are always in the lead for collective objective of achieving nationhood.
 
A very good example is the case of the State of Israel in which the Jews in
America funded and supported the independence of the nation of Israel. We share
a common ancestry with our Jewish brothers and should follow similar strategy
in achieving the nation of Biafra. In this regard, WIC is expected to play a critical
role in the quest for the restoration of the nation of BIAFRA.
 
As some of you may have known, there is an ongoing effort to galvanize
Biafrans globally to work together to achieve the collective objective of
restoration of the nation of Biafra. This effort is spearheaded by the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) with Radio Biafra London (RBL) as the media arm. The
operational headquarters of IPOB is in Vitoria-Spain, outside of Nigeria for
obvious reasons. IPOB is registered and recognized by various countries all over
the world. Coincidentally, the USA headquarters of IPOB is here in Los
Angeles—California. But what has IPOB/RBL achieved, you may ask?
Through the works of IPOB/RBL within the past three years, we have achieved
the following:

- Radio Biafra is today the only African institution in the history of the world
to be ranked No.1 in an independent survey against other (media)
organizations from around the world. That Radio Biafra is today more
popular than BBC Radio is clear testimony to what we can accomplish as a
race when we put our minds to it.

- Designation of Boko Haram as F.T.O. (Foreign Terrorist Organization) by
the Department of States of the USA. We have the proof to make this
claim.

- IPOB gained recognition as national liberation movement in over 88
countries where we are registered and carry out our meetings and rallies
unhindered.
- Initiated and continued annual 30th of May Biafra Heroes Remembrance
Day. The 2015 edition at Aba recorded over 3 million attendees without a
single adverse incident recorded.

- Forced the Nigerian Government to halt the continuous aerial bombardment
of Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom under the guise of fighting kidnappers’
havens. We alerted the world that Nigeria used the banned NAPALM
bombs on Biafrans for three consecutive days of June 17th—19th.

- We have raised the consciousness of our people on the Rights and the
legality of their quest for their nation of Biafra based on the UNDRIP
which Nigeria is a signatory to.




- Debunked and dismantled all the lies and innuendoes dished out by Yoruba
and Northern media concerning Biafrans, which in some cases are geared
towards dividing the various sections/areas of Biafraland.

- We have formed an effective opposition to the tyrannical rule of the current
president of Nigeria and checkmated him in trying to take Biafrans for a
ride.

- Nigerian Police now know that you can no longer kill a Biafran and get
away with it. Through the activities of IPOB in Igweocha (Port Harcourt)
the officer responsible for the shooting of an unarmed bus driver has been
dismissed from the Nigerian Police pending trial. You will agree with me
that this has never happened before.

- Through our work/efforts, we got Microsoft to recognize the word Biafra.
 
- We have brought Biafra restoration into global discourse such that media
juggernauts such as CNN, BBC, VOA, RFI, etc., who hitherto stayed away
from discussing Biafra are now forced to talk about Biafra.

- We are also registered with the ECOSOC department of United Nations as
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA, where we made it clear that no
organization is representing us but we are Biafrans and representing
ourselves.
 
In my humble submission, I do strongly believe that WIC can get involved and
help achieve more. The Igbo speaking Biafrans are known for their
resourcefulness and resoluteness when they make up their minds to embark on a
mission. The Igbos from all I know about them, do collectively abhor evil, they
love hard work, helped one another, and tenaciously believed that “nwanne di na
mba.”
 

I am using this opportunity to call upon each member of WIC to join hands with
other Biafrans and members of IPOB to work towards the restoration of our dear
nation of Biafra. You can help in diverse ways such as funding, diplomatic
connections, lobbying your congressmen and people of significant clout and
influence, and sundry activities geared toward the singular goal of achieving
sovereignty for the nation of Biafra. Your loved ones in Biafraland look up to
you because we have it in our saying that “Onuru ube nwanne agbala oso.”
BIAFRA restoration is here, all you have to do is put in your efforts and
BIAFRA will come. Like many other well-meaning Biafrans of Igbo extraction
around the world, I look forward to the day when World Igbo Congress will be
held in any of our towns and villages in Biafraland.

May Chukwu Okike Abhiama bless all of you and bless the nation of BIAFRA

IPOB Youth

So it was all good a year ago but now we can no longer stand this contraption? We gotta do better. These old men are going to take you all for a ride. And all that Jewish talk needs to cease. Those Israelis sold us by the boatload a few centuries ago. Furthermore, I keep seeing a bunch of guys with white wives pumping that Biafra talk. Don't be surprised when they try and recolonize you. I can't Igbo Kwenu on this one. Count me out.

Broz,
Your concerns have been noted and lemme tell you this
1]the capital is at PH kos its a city that lies on the border of three ethnicities viz Igbo,Izon and Ogoni
2]all ethnic groupings would form regional blocks...meaning that all Igbos and Igboids would be in one region,all Mmoño(Ibibio, annang,efik) would be in one region and same for others
3]there'd be a presidium that only takes charge of currency, diplomacy and defence with the other functions taken over by the regions
4]these regional blocks would've full autonomy with flags and coat of arms and even football teams...

There are a lot more but lemme stop here

ibos are not ready to get this biafra.the only part of south south ibos will have is ibo areas in rivers state,which doesn't include port harcourt.biafra will be made up of the south east alone

Omololu007:
mr man,biafra should be an ibo thing.uyo,portharcourt,warri,asaba will still be part of Nigeria

If I were you, I will beg the Togolese to teach your people how to catch up with Togo once Nigeria collapses.

Omololu007:
mr man,biafra should be an ibo thing.uyo,portharcourt,warri,asaba will still be part of Nigeria

Keep dreaming!
Even if its only Igbo, asaba and PH would still be part of us
