BIAFRA : Northern elders, Kukah, Obi, others warn of another civil war

  This nation has never been worse than it is, not even during the civil war. I’m sorry for those who felt civil war was the worst disaster; it wasn’t. Today is the worst disaster we are living in – Baba-Ahmed I was told of a late general who said were the civil war to occur again, he would fight on the other side. There is a lot of resentment, anxiety and frustration and the feeling is that we have not learnt any lesson – Kukah These vehicles of the Nigerian state are being driven by Molue drivers across the country and that is why you have too many accidents — Peter Obi A former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi; the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah and the Northern Elders Forum said on Thursday that Nigeria was repeating its mistakes that led to the civil war which lasted from July 6, 1967 to January 15, 1970.

BIAFRA : My Grouse About Nnamdi Kanu

  An Elderstateman and Afenifere Leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, has explained that his grouse about the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is his insistence on the secession of the South-East region in the country. Adebanjo said that breaking away is never a challenge confronting the country but the constitution. The Afenifere leader said this during the Never Again Conference 2021 themed: 51 Years After The Nigerian-Biafran Civil War organised by the Nzuko Umunna of the Igbo Think Thank, held via the zoom on Thursday afternoon. He noted that the constitution currently in use is not a representative of everyone in the country, adding that it gives so much power to the North and this speaks to why they want to be in power for a very long time. “I am in war with Nnamdi Kanu because I don’t want this country to break. “Instead of thinking of break-up, we should tackle the root cause of the problem. “The root cause of the problem is our constitution which is not a true r...

BIAFRA : IPOB Says South-East Governors Clueless, Warns Umahi Against Launching Parallel Security Outfit

  The Indigenous People of Biafra has said South-East governors are clueless for refusing to support the Eastern Security Network, while warning Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, against going ahead with his plan to inaugurate another security outfit in the region.  IPOB alleged that Umahi and his counterparts in the region had been coerced by the Nigerian government to create a security outfit to work against the Eastern Security Network IPOB had earlier created.

BIAFRA : One Nigeria is a deceit —Kanu

  The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Thursday, said there is no oneness in Nigeria because of the “lies and deceit” of the ruling class. Kanu stated this while speaking at the ‘2nd Never Again Conference: 51 Years After Nigerian-Biafran Civil War’ organised by an Igbo think-tank, Nzuko Umunna. The IPOB leader insisted on the secession of Biafra, adding that the entity called Nigeria has failed. Kanu said the 1966 war was not an Igbo war but a revolution by conscious members of the society, adding that only the South can carry out a revolution because of the way the North is structured. The IPOB leader said the elite used tribalism and religion to scuttle the revolution that should take place during the EndSARS protests Kanu blamed the structural problems of the country on the founding fathers of Nigeria who according to him, failed to interrogate the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern protectorates at the onset.
