The EASTERNERS accepted us when Nigeria rejected us - Lt. Fola Oyewole, the Yoruba soldier who fought for Biafra opens up

"Where do you want to run to? In Nigeria I was absolutely persona non grata, is it heaven you want to run to? - I told my colleagues and we all went and we saw Awo and in the course of the discussion, we did ask if we could come home and he said ‘not now, don’t try it’. So what do you do? And the easterners were not chasing us, so why not stay where you are accepted? So we stayed."

Retired Lt. Fola Oyewole, 77, a Nigerian Military Officer of the Yoruba stock, fought on the side of Biafra during the civil war. Before then, he was, because of the first coup 50 years ago, imprisoned in Lagos and in Enugu but was released by Lt Col Ojukwu.

50 years on: Nigeria's Biafra secessionist movement

On Biafra Remembrance Day we ask pro-secessionist leader Nnamdi Kanu if the call for secession is growing louder.

Umuahia, Nigeria - Nnamdi Kanu waves his hand and puffs in frustration: "Nothing seems to be working in Nigeria. There is pain and hardship everywhere. What we're fighting [for] is not self-determination for the sake of it. It's because Nigeria is not functioning and can never function."

As the quiet revolution begins: Biafrans SILENTLY showed Nigeria their resolve and might. Referendum one step ahead

The revolution has just began!
Even the Nigerian government knows this. That was the reason they hurriedly organiswed a shambolic Biafra @50 celebration where they literally begged Biafrans to rescind their resolve for self-determination.

Biafran sit at home exposes the level of DEPRIVATION successive Nigerian governments have made Biafrans to endure

The sit-at-home protest observed today by Biafrans have inadvertently exposed the unbelievable level of deprivation, filth and stink Biafrans have been made to endure.

Simply put dilapidation is written all over Biafra in different forms.

On May 30, many people in southeastern Nigeria will remember those who lost their lives in one of Africa’s most brutal wars. More than 1 million people died during Nigeria’s 1967 to 1970 civil war known as the Biafra War The conflict erupted after leaders from southeastern Nigeria declared that the region would secede from Nigeria.

The Igbos are under siege in their country -Mike Ozekhome

I am shocked that the Igbos are not speaking up at the apparent siege laid on their land by uniformed person of different categories. They range from Army, Navy, Police, Civil Defence, Customs, FRSC, etc. My journey had taken me by road from Isele-Mkpitime, where I had gone to pay tribute to a Nigerian icon, Chief (Dr) P.K.C. Isagba, the Odogwu of Isele-Mkpitime. He was one of the first Nigerians to believe in my ability as a young fledgling lawyer. I had been handling his cases whilst at Chief Gani Fawehinmi’s Chambers. When I left as Deputy Head to set up my practice in January 1986, Chief Isagba personally went to Chief Gani Fawehinmi, to allow him move his files to me, to continue handling his cases; a request the amiable and selfless Gani granted immediately. So, Chief Isagba became my first major client as a tottering practising lawyer, trying to find my groggy feet. He became my bossom friend and elder brother.

30 May: Stay at home Biafrans!!! Arewa terrorists are on rampage in Biafraland

This a warning Biafrans! Stay at home and pray for your fallen heroes. Don't step out of your houses. Arewa terrorists masquerading as Nigerian security forces are out to kill Biafrans. They are plotting to unleash mayhem once again on Biafrans. Military trucks have been deployed across Biafra as if in a war zone. Military helicopters are hovering everywhere with Arewa terrosists milling around looking for who to devour.

50 years after Biafran War: Nigeria continues to massacre Biafrans

At the last count over 2000 Biafrans have been massacred since tyrannical 'General' Muhammadu Buhari mounted the Nigerian seat of power.

Biafra is almost like a war zone with military checkpoint littered every few kilometres along the major highways in Nigeria.

Obiano turned against Biafrans from the moment he shook the hands of the DEVIL that massacred innocent Biafrans!

Soon after assuming office as the governor of Anambra State on January 12th, 2015, Obiano organised a quasi burial of Biafran soldiers and erected a cenotaph.

The burial was sequel to the Biafran Memorial ceremony organised the previous year by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), following the clamour for a formal burial for millions of Biafrans who lost their lives during the Biafran-Nigerian War, by the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The blood of Biafrans haunts Willie Obiano: How he conspired with Arewa terrorists to murder his people

Governor Willie Obiano is a haunted man. Haunted by the spirit of the land and the blood of Biafran youths who he conspired with the enemies to massacre in cold blood. No wonder he has taken to drinks.

Exactly one year ago at Nkpor, Obiano conspired with Arewa terrorists to murder sleeping Biafran activists who gathered at a primary school field in Nkpor, Anambra State to mark the Biafran heroes day.

Obiano who rode on the back of Biafran to become the governor of Anambra State plotted against his people and urinated on the grave of Biafran heroes, the moment he allowed Arewa terrorists to unleash their WICKEDNESS on his Biafran brothers and sisters in their very own land.

Biafra remembers their fallen heroes Prayer for the day

Biafra Anthem: Land of the Rising Sun

Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,

Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;

We must defend our lives or we shall perish,

We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;

But if the price is death for all we hold dear,

Then let us die without a shred of fear.

Buhari’s 2yrs In Office: A Celebration of FAILURE! Worst Governance Records in Nigeria Since 1960 - Human Right Group

(Intersociety, Onitsha Nigeria: 29^th May 2017)-The leadership of Int’l Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law has always maintained that the best way to measure or assess the records or performances of public governance in Nigeria carried out by successive and present Federal and State Governments, whether military, civilian or diarchy, since the country’s independence in 1960, is to embark on factual, realistic and comparative assessment of Nigeria with its peers in South America, Asia, Middle East and some African countries. Such comparative governance assessors must also be grounded with what modern public governance is all about or its core essence.

The "Sharing of Nigerian Cake" and “Biafra At 50” - Femi Fani-Kayode blasts Obasanjo

I believe that it is not only the height of naivety but also deeply insulting to say that the way to stop the Biafran agitation is to offer the Igbo cake.

BEIRUT — The dramatic arrival of Da’ish (ISIS) on the stage of Iraq has shocked many in the West. Many have been perplexed — and horrified — by its violence and its evident magnetism for Sunni youth. But more than this, they find Saudi Arabia’s ambivalence in the face of this manifestation both troubling and inexplicable, wondering, “Don’t the Saudis understand that ISIS threatens them, too?”

Like a plague Biafra activism is spreading and emasculating Nigeria

When I evolved from a political writer to a revolutionary writer, I knew at once that the tide had borne me. Today, nothing else matters. What I dream of, think of, prognosticate is a nation South-East and South-South can call their own. What our governors are doing, or will do is not my concern anymore, for I know they are all functioning in a very faulty template. Nigeria is an expired drug, for she cannot cure those for which she was fabricated anymore. Of course, the lies the North used to split the South-East and South-South have run out of use, as we are working very hard to rediscover ourselves.
