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

The hatred against Igbos is becoming ridiculous and most folks talk about Igbos like they are the problem with NIgeria so why dont you let the Igbos go and sort themselves out so Nigeria can be ok since Igbos are the problem. I pray the UN grant Biafra their sovereignty. I am a Nigerian and very proudly IGBO.

Anonymous said...

Again, Linda pls take off what you wrote trying to pin this uprising on Chinua Achebe. He is not the cause of this. Nigeria as a nation owes IGBOs an apology for the genocide of 1967. Ojukwu went to war when his people were not being treated right in a country that claimed to be one. so 40yrs after the war, is Nigeria united or still divided?????? Ojukwu lived ahead of his time and knew that this federal thing wont work but the people then were too myopic and ignorant or too greedy to see what Ojukwu saw...

To me Linda, I want them to divide that country. Because the country is too populated ooo. And Nigeria leaders they are not leading Nigerians to anywhere. They just enter there and steal Nigeria Money and resources. I'm not from East side. But the truth as to be said. God is watching them... Make dem leave d people wey dem don arrest... Is just a freedom of speech ooo. You that is saying they can't take oil. The oil that Nigeria has what do they do with it? You are just among the people which depends on oil. You people have to think about the future of your children. I think the BZM are doing the right thing.

What a shame. So boko haram cease fire and our guys decide to give us one more thing to worry about.
Until we start to realise and understand the unity of purpose we will continue so see selfishness win the day; my tribe, my religion, when that is satisfied, my constituency, my local govt, when that is not enough, my family, my people....SELFISH!
Even with Biafra, the owerri man must learn to accomodate the nnewi guy. Truth is we are our own greatest enemy.

@Anonymous 7:22 PM. I think its the other way round, Igbo people cannot do without Nigeria. They are everywhere, even in remote villages in Nigeria. If Igbo land is that good, why don't they remain there and develop it?. They come to your place, they buy land and are given space to do their business, they later turn around to say they are dominating. Arrogance, that's the problem with Igbo people, even Chinua Achebe did not spare them in his book ''There Was A country''. It pays to be humble.

Anonymous said...

Its sad sha, me I see this as one of the fruits of the bad leadership we've been plagued with for years now

Sadly for the Biafra, the geographical boundaries of the old Biafra would become impossible for them to conquer and secede with, the actual people that sit on the oil that forces all these conflicts are even worse enemies with the igbos than even the yorubas of whom Achebe seems to loathe their leades.

Spoken to Ijaws, Urhobos, Efiks and many people that make the melting point of the once eastern region, they speak the language but the disdain they have for the igbos is more than words can describe.

I'm happy to say that Nigeria is too diversified a country for this kind of rubbish, and the beauty of politics is that the right thinking igbo leaders will use their own hands to snuff out and extinguish the radically stupid ones amongst them (at least thats where the southern leaders have an edge over the northern leaders).

And on another hot issue that is leading to this biafra nonsense within the political corridors of the igbo, the biggest problem they have is for them to come together and support one leader and push that igbo leader to challenge for the presidency. Even the south south wouldn't have achieved this if not for the strong role Obasanjo played in making Yar'Adua president and Jonathan vice. If it was left to the south south, no leader would have emerged.

Which brings another argument, Nigeria has changed from what it was in 1967, common sense will prevail at the end of it all

Yes let them start, some people support the proposed Boko haram negotiation with the federal government. This is one of the resultant effects of such a proposal, if u keep negotiating with such militia groups like MEND and Boko haram then you have to negotiate with this one too and any other group that comes after them. As for me this group should first of all challenge the corrupt south- eastern governors starting from Peter Obi.

Wow! I had tears roll down my eyes you people should STOP! There are only two groups of people in this world. Good people and Bad people. We cannot be full of hatred any longer. This Generation can't afford it! My father Igbo and mother Yoruba. They loved themselves. My mother was constantly told my father will soon go and marry his kind. It's over 30 years now and they are still going strong. The truth is we need to love one another . My father is from Anambra and he was told not to date a Delta ibo girl he fell in love with. WTF. Reason tHe women from that area are too wild seriously! So obviously when he took my mum home they almost killed themselves. I am glad my father is an open and great Man that saw the bigger picture. All I am trying to say is that we should love one another. Life is too short!!! My father experienced th war but he moved on can't we all do that? Most of us on here didn't experience this we were told but we are the one in the forefront trying to fuel this madness again! I am for freedom or speech. If the igbos want independence go for it and do it peacefully and follow procedures. We don't have to be enemies. Long Live Ojukwu, Awolowo, Tawafa Balewa, Funmilayo Kuti, Nnamdi Azikuwe.

I dont understand some Igbo folks sometimes the way u speaks that a whole country cannot do without u, even those people that are running the affairs of South East contributed nothing to the growth of ur environment and u never challenge their authority so far and u think seceding is the best solution for u people now bcos my own believe is that u have to settle the disunity among u guys b4 thinking of standing alone but if that is what u want and u think u are still going to be accomodated in South West (Kojo), we will drive u out and subjected u to go back to ur undeveloped zone.

All you people crying wolf on this blog, are people no longer allowed to express their views? Those people on the street are they carrying arms? Did they bomb any where. Did they hurt anyone? Are they armed robbers? Are they murdrers? Or are they just Igbos? Have u guys thought about Ghandi? Please people think carefuly, ask questions, that is what will make you a rational being.

Yoruba pple r stupid beyond measure and so darn tribalistic, we'l be deluding our selves if we think we r truly 'one Nigeria', if y'all hate igbo's that much and you think we aint got anything ,then let us go..and then watch us thrive, by the way, we definately do not want any urobos or delta pple,mayb jst delta ibos. As much as I hate what this Bokoharam pple are doing,it might just lead to the much desired break up of Nigeria and then peace will finally reign. I just hate what it'l do to all the inter-tribal marriages/ families.

Ok, as an Igbo and a nigerian i know dis country aint breaking up! ya'll can sit at home and type shit but if d rougues rulling us (which is a complete mixture of igbos, yorubas, hausas and south south) want naija to stay together we have no choice!
secondly, yorubas, abeg why is una hatred for d igbos so strong? nekwa iwe bikonu? all of u guys r just so angry dat i'm starting to feel sorry for ya'll? is it a crime to be hardworking? dis is exactly why hitler hated d jews cos dey wer like us, very hard working, now guess who rules d world? America backed by Israel! igbo r ppl dat r blessed by God and no man can curse, if yorubas were given "20 naira to start off life after war like dey did to the igbos i bet we wont have grown to meet any Yoruba man cos dey wld have been extinct. abeg channel ur energy into something better, and u wonder why d trend for yoruba boys is now to marry d igbo girls? we r not just occupying d world, ur men r helping us spread too. remember every child born of an igbo mother considers demselves igbos! lmao! una never see yet...!

The Biafra war was exactly over half a century ago,since then there have been unity schools and intemarriage amoong all the peoples of Nigeria. Busines has flourished and property has been acquired by the Igbos in the south west and indeed throughout Nigeria through business and large scale integration. Can these interconnections simply be disengaged simply because of an ideology??? Abeg u guys need to get to the drawing board and ask yourself some real pertinent questions

!.Who is spearheading this movement and what are their aims and goals.
2. Are these practical and valid in the 21st century vis-a vis the current climate in the Nigeria.
3. Have any of the eastern states achieved any sustainable development in the last 50 years we can point to and say that their further development was hampered by the absence of a biafra state.

Jokes aside this is simply a pie in the sky being carte blanched by some hooded balkanizing foreign characters. Pull out a map and history book and see how futile and silly this looks in 2012. I see no capital gain besides extreme bloodshed and confusion in the Niger Delta...It can work at this cost says L.A.S.T.M.A KIlla

Anonymous said...

Why do I keep seeing people mentioning war? Did the BZM mention anything abt war? Only you Nigerian reactionaries want war with progress. Whether u all like it or not, Biafra will surge ahead leaving u Nigerians behind and we would do it peacefully. You Nigerians would be too busy killing urselves to notice Biafra leaving Nigeria, by the time u're all done, Biafra would be way ahead.

Goodbye to quota system, Goodbye to stupidity, Goodbye to Nigeria.

Do not worry, u want a badly skewed society where only rich people can access internet, we will leave Nigeria for u. We the Biafrans believe in egalitarianism and virtue of hard work and equal opportunity. Forward thinking Africans and other citizens of the world would be received by Biafrans with open arms. We will leave Ibibio like u to continue hating ur Efik neighbours and live constantly in fear of one domination or the other while we recruit talent from all over the world and at home to prosper our Biafran homeland.

All the IDIOTS who keep saying we see Yoruba as our enemies should get an education. Awolowo and Gowon were complicit in genocide. They would go to hell for their crimes since the justice system in Nigeria would not provide justice. These people will represent themselves not Northerners or the Yoruba people. After all there are Nigerians of different backgrounds that were sincerely sympathetic to the Biafran cause like Wole Soyinka.

If u still think the unity of a country depends on the elites in this day and age, I must respectfully say u have missed the plot. Why is d AustroHungarian Empire no more? Why did the Baltic states break out of Russia despite the will of the elites?
The will of the elites is on borrowed time. Biafran independence is the way forward.

That nonsense abt the Igbo bringing one candidate to be president has been rehashed repeatedly. Did the Yoruba do that when we ended up with Obasanjo or did the Hausa do that when we ended up with Shagari. We do not want an Igbo president, it would offer the many Igbo-haters the opportunity to blame the Igbo for Nigeria's problems and disallow such a president from doing much b4 he is impeached for being Igbo. We want nothing to do with the rubbish that is the Nigerian political system, we want to cure ourselves from it. We want progress. We want Biafra. Let others hate us (even though they cant get in) and watch our money pile up. Let them watch us build and run an effective port, control our currency so we can build a strong manufacturing sector branching out from Aba and Nnewi, build a knowledgeable populace with focus on Science and Technology starting from talents that abound in Onitsha and other Biafran cities,...
We can only start doing this if Nigeria gets out of the way. Let Nigerians watch Biafrans get rid of Federal Character in our tertiary institution and unleash the competitive spirit of Biafrans.
Let Nigeria watch progress happen with the people who know how to make it happen. Let Nigeria watch Biafra succeed while Nigerians engage in eternal conflict.

Anonymous said...

These fools who keep talking about the East not being developed have not moved beyond their villages. Besides Lagos - that was developed with federal money - is anywhere in the South West more developed than the average Igbo village built mainly with private money? Unlike other Nigerians, we do not need a big government wiping our asses with oil money.

I'm Igbo, and at the moment I DO NOT support secession, but please be careful what negative statements you make about the Civil War, especially when it is based on ignorance. This is largely the problem with Nigeria, one can never move forward without discussing the demons of the past, one cant act like it never existed.

Igbo land on its own in the SE has oil, the entire Anambra for example is swampy, way too many big rivers, and has oil, just hasnt been drilled yet. Another display of ignorance by the mass public.


Its sad to see comments here filled with so much hate, and yet many on here will say they are Christians. We are all tribalistic wild animals, and its a joke to think that we are worse off than when the Europeans found us all. Nigeria should never have been a country.

Weneva d Ibo man sneezes it as if ur life-support is abt to b removed frm u. U begin to propagate & remind dem of oil, sea port, disunity, kidnapping etc dat will disintegrate dem. U fail to deal with d various evils prevalent amongst ur tribe - juju, ritual killings & evil forest tinz! Remove d log in ur eyes so u cn c clearly to help anoda. Ur sons & daughters who find demselves in d East ar quite lucky dat dey ar nt xposed to being raped by randy chiefs or being used for rituals & juju as in being xperienced in ur region on a dialy basis. Due to ur animosity & unbriddled appetite for easy moni u send many innocent nigerians to dia early graves.

Imagine dat for a coupl of years nw BH hv bn unleashing terror in d north, Yorubas neva ranted like dis. Bayelsa, Ogoni & Bakassi declared independence. Notin happened. Yorubas didn't insinuate dat dey ar plotting to go with d Ibos. Nw a group is championing Biafra in Enugu, ur headache is dat Biafra is plotting to co-opt South-South; evn mentioning Usobo tribe of all ppl which is far across d Niger.
