Emergingnation3: I thought it’s already existing, you and your people just need to move to the southeast enclave, call the republic whatever you want to call it and let Peter OBI be your president. The rest of us Nigerians will be much better for it and we can’t wait for you and your people to emigrate and go. 1 Like |

This evil old man does not want Igbo to be united with peace loving Nigerians that is why he is always reminding them of biafra He is just saying this to incite Biafra agitators so that Igbo would be seen as criminals and separatists. Soyinka, why not lead a war for declaration of Odua republic you cunning old devil. Leave Igbos alone.[color=#990000][/color] 1 Like |

Mindlog:But the January 1966 coup could abi? With all the dead personalities such as Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sir Tafawa Balewa, Chief SLA Akintola, Brig. Ademulegun, Col Ralph Sodeinde, Col Pam, Brig Mamlari etc. These were fathers, husbands, Uncle's, Brothers etc of some people as well. It is a pity that people contributed towards that war. The war for me is our war too & if we can learn something from it we could come closer to what the men at time were not...the architect of out future. 1 Like |

Realists: If you're Northern....I suppose the 500 billion dollars your leaders and Arewa region has stolen from the East should be compensation enough? Oh...it is not enough? Not even the innocent blood your radical Islamic fanatics and lunatic herdsmen have been spilling to drunken stupor since 2015? Or do you think it is only the blood of "leaders" are of any worth compared to those your terrorists have been spilling every single day? 1 Like |

Soyinka has done more for Biafra than many Igbos. That is why when I see them insulting him, I laugh at their stupidity. When Soyinka was imprisoned by Gowon for supporting Biafra, Achebe was in America sleeping with college girls. 3 Likes |

Biafra reminds me of this song below by Cynthia Erivo........... I been walkin' With my face turned to the sun Weight on my shoulders A bullet in my gun Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head Just in case I have to run I do what I can when I can while I can for my people While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night That's when I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Can you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on I can feel it in my bones Early in the mornin' Before the sun begins to shine We're gonna start movin' Towards that separating line I'm wadin' through muddy waters You know I got a made up mind And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die So I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Can you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on And I know what's around the bend Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone And I just might fail But Lord knows I tried Sure as stars fill up the sky Stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Can you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river Do you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on I'm gonna stand up Take my people with me Together we are going To a brand new home Far across the river I hear freedom calling Calling me to answer Gonna keep on keepin' on I can feel it in my bones |

The then Military Government of Nigeria, and also the civilian Government had all it takes to address the issue after the war, and make Nigeria work again...but what did they do?...Nothing! What lead to the civil war is still playing out today. Am afraid, the quest for the restoration of the Independent State of Biafra can't be defeated. 1 Like |

joefelin2345: As the focus was on the Biafran war, history classes would have given Nigerians the knowledge of the built up crisis and how things got escalated into a full blown war, how it was fought, the surrender and efforts on post war reunification of the minds of Nigerians......My father survived being killed by the soldiers as he drove from Lagos back to the East in November1966 as he did mistaken him for a young Missionary Catholic Priest because of his fair skin complexion and spoken English. It was a senseless war by all account, nothing good was gained from it. |

I know Biafra is an ideology, and it is very difficult to defeat ideology.Some of us were not born during the war,but the desire to see the new nation is still in us.The government can do justice by allowing every region to go without blood bath.You can not beat a child and ask the child not to cry.Even after MNK, the struggle will still continue because it is a spirit.The sun shall rise one day. 3 Likes |

MelesZanawi: The bolded destroyed whatever good intentions you had, if any. To correct your silly figment of imagination, Soyinka did not support Biafra however, he pleaded for Biafra/Nigeria war to be avoided. He supported nation states to be created out of the delinquent Nigeria. |

Soyinka needs to give up on Igbo cause. No matter what he did, do or say, Igbo would abuse him like they do against the "most detribalized Nigerian" Obasanjo when he brought Igbo into the most powerful positions after the war, abused Fajuyi as a traitor for dying with Ironsi, killed Banjo for leading Biafra into his father land, killed Ademulegu in his sleep, killed Akintola the man that told Awo the truth about Igbo not to mention other Yoruba still in love and businesses with Igbo. Including moi. Is it genetic to follow them to grave? Even the last Biafran Government with all Igbo powerful positions led by a Biafran Jonathan has been denied as never. 2 Likes 1 Share |
