"Beginning of a long symbolic 'look backwards', beyond the immediate horizon of our national experience" Obiano declares as Anambra State buries Biafran soldiers



Over 3,000,000 Igbos who lost their lives during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war were today buried for their souls to rest in peace.
The burial was sequel to the Biafran Memorial ceremony organised last 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.

Anambra Government to hold Biafra Memorial: Prepares 50 yards for Biafra Cenotaph




Anambra Government to hold Biafra Memorial: Prepares 50 yards for Biafra Cenotaph
At last a state government in Biafra has woken up from slumber. For years the soldiers that fought to defend Biafra and Biafran have largely remained forgotten by the people the died for. This was until May 30, 2014 when the Indigenous People of Biafra under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu used the Radio Biafra to mobilise Biafrans across the globe to remember the Biafran dead. Anambra State government has consequently keyed into the noble act. Arrangements have been concluded by the Anambra State Government to give a befitting societal burial to fallen Biafran heroes and others, who died during the Nigerian/Biafran Civil War tomorrow.
