THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION

  BIAFRA  before restructuring, and beyond Biafra; even as it is vitally important to admit that the Nigerian leadership crisis is not devoid of ethnic schisms, where each group and generation potently share blame, a paradigm shift in perception and approach has become very imperative. In the piece, “Coronavirus: The Nigerian Dream Cure”, I wrote that the COVID-19, which “compelled people to stay within their nations and localities, illuminates the genius of the ageless adage: charity begins at home.” The lessons from the virus also strike a chord with the famous quotation: the “fierce urgency of now”, where Martin Luther King demanded action in the face of a looming catastrophe. Nowhere are these maxims more expedient than Igboland. Despite the dearth of development in Eastern Nigeria, which has continued to pose existential threats, the Eastern leaders have made no serious attempt to harness current resources for the greater good. Instead, Igbo politics has been overly consu...

Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., National Coordinator Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, says he could end the agitation for the sovereign state of Biafra if given the mandate. Bamgbose noted that the agitation, dated back to 1967 during the Biafran war is still very much alive and shaking the foundation of the country. According to the lawyer, the struggle, which is now being spearheaded by Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is legitimate being that the group is crying out over marginalisation. He noted that the agitation is a product of injustice, illegality, insecurity, bad governance, repression and dictatorship, adding that it is not out of place if these anomalies are prevalent in a society. Speaking with DAILY POST on Tuesday, the legal practitioner noted that in 2015, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Muhammadu Buhari agitated for a change, adding that they felt that the government of Goodluck Jonathan was not good enough and protested and th...

The auction house said that the collector acquired them from an African dealer in 1968 or 1969, either in Cameroon or Paris, before they were later acquired by another private collector, who was the seller on Monday. These artworks are stained with the blood of Biafra’s children,” wrote Chika Okeke-Agulu, an art history professor at Princeton, in an impassioned Instagram post three weeks ago calling for a halt to the sale of two wooden statues made by the Igbo people of Nigeria.  Mr. Okeke-Agulu believes the items were looted in the late 1960s during the country’s brutal civil war. But the auction went ahead on Monday at Christie’s in Paris, New York Times reports. The life-size male and female figures, described by Christie’s as “among the greatest sculptures of African art,” sold to an online bidder for 212,500 euros with fees, about $238,000. The price was well below the pre-sale estimate of €250,000 to €350,000. The sculptures originated from southeast Nigeria, a region devasta...

The Chief Judge of Kogi State, Justice Nasiru Ajanah is dead. DAILY POST gathered that Ajanah died at the age of 64 in Abuja in the early hours of Sunday after battling with a brief illness. His death is coming barely one week after the state lost the President of the Customary Court of Appeal in the state, Justice Ibrahim Shaibu Atadoga, after a brief illness.

The Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has warned Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB; Chief Ralph Uwazuruike of the Biafra Independence Movement, BIM; and a former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, to back off the Biafra struggle if they have lost focus. The group was reacting to religious squabbles going on among the secessionist leaders. Uwazuruike and Dokubo had recently lambasted Nnamdi Kanu for insisting that some sorts of religion would be prohibited in the yet-to-be actualized nation. However, the BNYL’s Director of Operations, Biafra Broadcasting Service, BBS, Ebuta Takon Akor, in a statement to DAILY POST on Sunday, disclosed his group position on the issues that have generated much controversies in the media. The BNYL dismissed claims that Biafra will be built on religion, saying the State of Biafra is dominated by Christians and traditional believers and no one can change it. The group hinted that the BNYL will not tolerate whoever is presentin...

The monarch, who was deputy defence adviser to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, United States, from 1976 to 1978, experienced the pre- and post-independence Nigeria.  In this interview with Sunday Sun, he also spoke on other issues of national concern. Excerpts:   You literally had a taste of pre-independence Nigeria and the country during its formative years and can comfortably compare notes with what we have now. Looking at the country our founding fathers left for the generations that came after them, do you think the country has progressed or retrogressed?
