BACKGROUND
The Eastern part of Nigeria is a made of
predominantly Christian population whose
way of life is different from their Northern
Counterpart that are predominantly
Muslims. These two groups of people existed
on their own without the other part for
thousands of years before the coming of the
white men. There were amalgamated in 1914
by the then Governor of the Colonized Niger
Area – Lord Frederick Luggard for the
purpose of convenience of governance of the
area. The amalgamation of the North and
the South of the Niger-Area came into force
and it was Flora Shaw that gave it the name
Nigeria, coined from the word – NIGER +
AREA.
After the flag independence of Nigeria in
1960, the crop of leaders that took over
from the colonial masters in their effort to
gain control of the Nation through undue
influence gradually planted the seed of
nepotism, hatred, and ethnic division among
the worst of all, corruption that has
continued to cripple Nigeria to date.
Over time, the notion that the Ibos were
domineering people gradually degenerated
into hatred that caused the massacre of the
Easterners in the North in an effort to curb
their presumed influence and abilities as
they were the most educated and versatile
of the people of Nigeria. The unending
massacre resulting from greed and nepotism
caused the then Governor of Eastern Nigeria
– Cornel Odumegwu Ojukwu to declare a
Republic of Biafra in 1967. The declaration
brought a civil war when the Nigeria
government under Gen.Yakubu Gowan tried
to force the Biafrans back into Nigeria, The
war lasted for 3years from 1967 to 1970
before the Biafrans surrendered as a result
of starvation ochestrated by against
Biafrans though total blocked of every rout
that food may be brought into Biafra land.
Over 1.5million children and women perished
as a result of using hunger as a weapon of
warfare for the first time in the world,
introduced by Pa Awolowo, the first Nigerian
Minister of finance and economy under a
military head of state.


MANY YEARS LATER
In order to appeal to the ego of the proud
Biafrans, the war was declared no victor
and no vanquished, but the actions that
followed proved otherwise. The Biafrans to
date lost all their property all over Nigeria,
even in their homelands and they were
subjected to undue treatment of receiving
20pound in exchange of any amount you
must have saved in the bank before the war.
It forced them to resign to fate and their
only way out became to join one trade or
the other and willing out their children as
servants. But over the years, they succeeded
and became the most popular businessmen in
Nigeria.


TODAY
As a result of the flight from Biafra land
occasioned by lack of work and conducive
livelihood on Biafra lands as a result of
government policies which include making it
impossible for Biafrans to run any company
that can employ up to 100 workers,
impossible to import their goods through
their closest seaport some 10kilometers to
them and instead have to import through
Lagos about 800kilomiters away and paying
through en-rout to the numerous Nigeria
uniformed officials back to their land.
These numerous ill treatment caused the rise
of some opposition to Nigeria from this area.
The first of its kind was from the Niger
Delta area by Ken Saro Wiwa and his
kinsmen from Ogoni, but they were all
hanged by the Nigerian government under
IBB, Then the Niger Delta boys went
militancy to protest the oil spillage that was
destroying their lands to date and the
government of late Yaradua got wise and
gave them amnesty. Other such groups are
THE MEND, MASSOB and presently IPOB that
is controlled by Nnamdi Kanu.
While the other groups seem to have come
only to get money from the federal
government, the IPOB has proved to be on a
more serious mission to secede from Nigeria.
Using Radio Broadcast and very advanced
technology to reach the world without control
from Nigeria, IPOB has managed to cause a
serious nightmare to the Nigerian
government.
Nigerian government seriously tried but
failed to block the signal of the radio
playing into Nigeria, mostly the Eastern part
of Nigeria, they resorted to the only method
associated with “Black People” force.
NNADI KANU Sets a trap, Nigeria falls
headlong into it.
“How could Nigerian Government be so
insensitive to fail to decode that Nnamdi
Kanu intentionally came down from United
Kingdom to be arrested and they played
into the trick? He is an educated man who
calculates all his moves. Nigeria will never
remain the same again after this arrest
because this arrest has given more publicity
to the Biafran cause than the Biafrans and
even their leader Nnamdi Kanu would have
dreamed. Now that Amnesty International
has talked about it, New York Times and all
the News Papers in Nigeria have carried it
from the arrest to the bail. I think that is
all Nnamdi Kanu needed to go to the next
level of the struggles.

I guess the ultimate question then is, how does millions of people around the world seeing this article translate to:

1. people believing its veracity and authenticity as this is just an I report which the CNN will tell you they are not responsible for the content?

2. realising and achieving Biafra in a peaceful way?

3. your director not spending the night in his cell tonight?

"MEND under d control of Nnamdi Kanu"... I laugh in gibberish

Them call something ireports. Hahaha, CNN ko, MTN ni. Na so one dude for fbk put up Change.org petition say na Obama and Putin dey demand for release.

So many misconceptions about this biafra of a thing.

I dont think every south easterner supports the biafran idea we need like a vote as in the case of scotland to see the number of south easterners that support biafra.

Secondly, if biafra is granted independence today today, what next ? how will the existing south eastern senators exit the Nigerian Nation amongst other factors such as who will be president and resource control.

Unless i am naive, i am of the opinion this nnamdi kanu biafran movement is all about give us biafra, then when we get to the bridge to exit nigeria, we will cross it.

I personally believe had Ojukwu not asbconded after the civil war like a chicken and had he died a martyr on the battlefield, the next generation would have had at least an extra motivation to support the biafran thing
