BZM members arrested after they declared independence & flew a Biafran flag

At least 100 members of the Biafra Zionist Movement were arrested in Enugu today after they declared independence and raised a Biafran flag during a march in the state.

The last time a Biafran flag was raised (1967), there was war in Nigeria. The men arrested today, young men and veterans of the war, have been charged with treason.

The Biafran Zionist Movement members first gathered yesterday to celebrate Ojukwu's birthday, then marched through the streets again today supporting independence for Biafra. 

The Biafran war has been put back in the spotlight by Chinua Achebe's war memoir

Anon Nov6 7:19PM, since u regard d protest by BZM as a declaration for war, u must b hv postulated in d course of ur current study dat d bombing in d North is a legitimate population control measure! Indeed, d tym u'r spending in schooling is a waste! Who knows d no. of years u'v spnt on dis dissertation. Quickly complete d dubbing of anoda's dissertation so dat Dangote can employ u as a tanker driver to shuttle Lagos-Kano. Hasten up b4 d vacancy expires, cos it appears d moni ur parents spent on ur studies is hs gon down d drain with d way u'r reasoning with ur anus. Educated illiterate in d making!

@Gkay
We love u too but we will live you Nigerians. The Biafran movement is not borne of hate but an eagerness to move forward. Nigeria would not allow that for anyone.
I grant u that the flag looks unattractive and is too similar to the Ghanaian flag but it is symbolic. The red denotes the blood of Igbo and other Easterners shed during the pogrom; the rising sun on a black background signifies a new dawn, a new beginning and the promise of a brighter future; and the green symbolizes the fertile ground on which we would build a great nation - BIAFRA.

@Anon Nov 6 1:17am You are the fool. The oil Nigeria is living on is all from the east.

It's interesting how illiterate so called educated people can be. Read the history of the war before commenting.

One Nigeria never existed. The people Nigerians now worship are tribal leaders like Awolowo.
