I want to appeal to pro-Biafra activists to stop street protests to stop getting killed by Nigerian troops. Please ask for Biafra the right way if that is what the majority of people want. You have the right to do so. I want to draw our people's attention to the United Nations Charter http://www.ohchr.org/EN/UDHR/Documents/UDHR_Translations/eng.pdf Article 15 Article 20 Article 21 Article 30 Ask for your Fundamental Human Rights of free association to be upheld through "A UNITED NATIONS SPONSORED REFERENDUM ON BIAFRA QUESTION" May the winner of the referendum have it's wish. Please add your suggestions, comments and please no tribal bashing. http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ CC:Lalastical, please take note and ban appropriately. 2 Likes |

And which of those "Articles" specifies the shooting of unarmed people? First condemn your armed forces for commiting murder before dishing advice on how to ask for Biafra 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Bros, may you live long and enjoy best of this life. I have always told those who care to listen than there are better ways to achieve what you want and the worst is through violence and uproar. This is why I will never support Nnamdi Kanu's method. There are so many demerits to his method. First imagine that Biafra is eventually gotten through violence, how do you hope to have peace when your neighboring country is your enemy? Believe me, even generations to come will be living in fear in Biafra land. Secondly, if eventually war is declared by Biafra agitators against Nigeria, who do you think will lose more? The Biafran people of course. There are many reasons to this which includes inadequate military personnel, military intelligence, fire power, finance to mention a few. It's just common sense. These are more of the reasons the we had to start recruiting children to fight, besieged by famine and suffered more casualties. We need to learn from the first civil war and why we lost the war. Even the Bible says which king will want to go to war without considering first if he will be about to win with a certain number of soldiers or otherwise calls for a truce. My point has always been this: we need to learn how to play the political game in other to our goal. There are still a lot of thing to consider before embarking on this so called agitation. One more thing, not all igbo are in support. I will stop for now with these few points. Thanks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nnamdi kanu's method is the RIGHT way. if he didn't agitate on a global scale, Nigeria would have snuffed out the lives of people. Even now, they are arresting people secretly and killing them in military detention centers talk more if this was not a global issue. Biafrans can still agitate abroad to enforce their Fundamental human rights in the UN charter. Just as those in the home front must continue protesting. let the zoo army continue killing innocent youths. One day they shall answer for it. one method does not mean the other method is not proper. Freedom is not Free. 12 Likes |

OreMI22: Which way is the right way?, is protest an offence UN charter you quoted?, Their is no way you agitate for Nigeria they not say is wrong. You people said sit at home is an offence, carrying gun like nigerdelta militant an offence, putting biafra flag in your car is an offence, wearing biafra rubber band an offence?, Since 1999 till date biafra issues has been coming up but those terrorist in the seat of power block their ear. How else will the information be send to the terrorist in Abuja?. |

9jabull: I dont totally disagree with street protests. By the way, it is NOT a crime to do so. However, equal effort should be devoted to suing Nigeria abroad in US courts for violation of international charter on human rights of Biafrans and then find a way to have the issue presented to the world body. Street protests are good, but Nigeria will use them as opportunity to kill protesters. So pursuing the legal violations perpetrated by Nigeria against its own people and pursuing a UN sponsored referendum should be vigorously pursued. 2 Likes |
