The agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra over the weekend tried to enlist the support of one of the most powerful religious figure on earth today.

This happened when members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Italy staged a protest at the Vatican in Rome. Pope Francis While addressing them, promised to do what he can for them.

The crowd of protesters who came peacefully, intending to receive the Pope’s blessings for their agitation were ecstatic when the Pope mentioned the name “BIAFRA” while addressing them. Speaking in Italian, the word “Biafra” clearly stood out in the Pope’s address resulting in a joyous eruption among the protesters.

World over, members of IPOB have been trying to forcefully draw the attention of the world to their demand. This move by their members in Italy has given them one of the most significant political boosts they have enjoyed till date.

do u think d north n west will ever agree to thant. n if they agree what of protection of other tribes n religion mostly in d north

so tell me what / why r u so afraid to stay on ur own, since they igbos r not d once running ur Nigeria neither r they d once feeding u

The FG could have handled this case differently with positive results instead of turning Kanu into another Nelson Mandela. Now the hypocrisy is when you support Palestinian statehood but refuse to grant Biafran's their right to even a referendum. This issue can be settled amicably without distorting the territorial integrity of Nigeria

No be only pope,na cope waya. Thought Putin,Obama,Queen,markel are sending u people soldiers and jets to fight FG? Yeye people

Abeg leave that man alone o. he has more than enough load on his shoulders shepherding over 1billion Catholics.

UN has given you the guidelines to conduct a referendum.

what else is stopping you guys if you know you can win a referendum or are you scared that majority of Igbo people don't want B*iafra?

Well at least, IPOB are protesting in Italy, a civilised country that does not shoot people just for protesting.

how many states do you have? How many house of reps members do u have? How many senators do you have?

How does someone has been enjoying without labouring support you when you want him to go back to working before eating?
The just concluded confab organised by GEJ is not getting support of the core north because it is promoting regionalism and a weak centre.
This country is not interested in progressiveness.

Seriously, regionalism is exactly what we need. I've said this before, I'm still saying it, and till Jesus comes, WE NEED REGIONALISM. There's no need breaking away.
Every region should develop their regions, and if they can't, shame on them.

A lot of Nairalanders especially on the politics section are intolerant of opposing views, but this same people will criticise the anti social media bill. Hypocritical, I tell you.

As for the regionalism stuff, I've written on this on my Facebook page, engaged in debates concerning this, and given talks about it.
I hope our folks at the National Assembly would open their eyes to this agitation.

PS: The dark and curvy ones are in Qatar servicing Buhari's aides. I hope you wouldn't mind blondes?

So what happens when one Idiootic mallam from the northernized Nigeria army decides to execute a coup and dissolves the regional arrangement like we've seen in the past, we go back to lose youthful lives for another round of protests.
IPOB says 'No' to regionalism, let everyone go to his tents.

If you can't survive on your own, simply die off. It's an evolutionary necessity to die if you can't survive without attaching like leeches to others that you even hate.

As regards your question, you made a mistake.
from what its worth, the Yorubas have been agitating for regionalism even before Jonathan's Confab.
Here's the link...

The only obstacle is the North. they still got the Niger Delta to rape in its resources, hence their opposition to implementation.

Talk about decentralization of the Armed forces.
If it is not a traditional feature of regionalism, then I think Nigeria should start it.
We don't have to copy Western ideas in totality.
