I don’t know that in the 21st century,
people would be forbidden from saying
“Biafra”.
I don’t know why the government and
many people develop goose bumps
whenever they hear the name.
In USA, states like Texas still agitate for
secession after over 300 years of their
independence and over 200 years of their
civil war which failed at dividing the
country. Many even burn American flags to
show their discontent and their frustrations
about US government policy.
President Barack Obama’s former pastor,
Rev. Jeremiah Wright, would preach “God
damn America” instead of ‘God Bless
America’ anytime he felt like. 1 Like |

In the 80s, the ABS FM Stereo, Enugu,
(Anambra State Broadcasting Service)
adopted a “rising sun” as it’s logo. It had a
flag with that logo. There was an order
“from above” for them to remove it
immediately!
I think that the word “Biafra” scares a lot of
people especially those in power. It is a
stumbling block to “One Nigeria” which is a
cute way of saying “unimpeded oil flow”.
I would always say Biafra on my Facebook
wall.
I still believe that I have the right to push
for justice and for every people’s right to
self determination. You cannot mistreat a
man and then dictate to him how to react or
how to vent. It is not by force!
Marriage is not by force. A forced marriage
is doomed from the beginning.
Let me say without fear of sounding like a
broken record, that I do not believe in One
Nigeria as presently constituted. If
subjugating me in Nigeria is the best way of
keeping Nigeria one, then I would not
subscribe to that. 7 Likes |

If making a people live like slaves in a union
would water the seeds of unity, I would
then continue to stress that I have a right to
disagree. I would support those that call for
separation from Nigeria. You can’t continue
to enjoy the suya when it is my flesh that
make the suya possible.
You cannot take your dog to kill a game in
the forest, only to come home and offer
bones to the dog instead of meat.
One Nigeria should not be a slogan and a
mantra of maintaining oil flow. It should be
with terms. All must be at the table to hash
out all grievances and gripes.
If Nigeria must survive in the 21st century,
all must be carried along, and all terms
clearly stated in a document called the
Constitution.
You can’t tell Igbos (South East) that they
can only have 5 states when every region
has 6 and even North West have 7 states.
You can’t isolate Igbos from government,
their children given limited slots in Unity
Schools when they score highest in exams,
qualified people playing second fiddle in
ministries to ones with no qualifications etc
and you look at me funny when I complain.
You cannot come to the South South,
prospect for oil and leave their environment
in ruins, pollute their drinking waters,
farmlands etc and still isolate them from the
proceeds of their oil; and not build schools,
hospitals and other social amenities for
them. Then you wonder why they agitate
even violently.
This is not rocket science.
Like I said, if Biafra scares you, do the right
thing. Eliminate the issues that make the call
for Biafra and other quests for self-
determination inevitable.
Justice must be done and seen to be done.

We are freedom fighters. They will regret ever holding us back. This place called Nigeria is a doomed entity already. |
