As promised, here is the thread on and for BIAFRA in commemoration of the Biafran month of May.
At the end of hostilities, Yakubu the son of Gowon made the following statement in his “victory” speech:
quote:
The so-called "Rising Sun of Biafra" is set forever. It will be a great disservice for anyone to continue to use the word Biafra to refer to any part of the East Central State of Nigeria. The tragic chapter of violence is just ended. We are the dawn of national reconciliation. Once again, we have an opportunity to build a new nation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BUT, speaking from Ivory Coast, Emeka Ojukwu the General of the peoples’ army had this to say:
quote:
Yet because our cause is just we believe we have not lost the war, only that the battlefield has changed. We are convinced that Biafra will survive. Biafra was born out of the blood of innocents slaughtered in Nigeria during the pogroms of 1966. Biafra will ever live, not as a dream but as the crystallisation of the cherished hopes of a people who see in the establishment of this territory a last hope for peace and security. Biafra cannot be destroyed by mere force of arms. May I take this opportunity to thank all those persons and organisations that have sacrificed that we might live – that we assure them that their sacrifice will not be in vain. Biafra lives. The struggle continues. Long live the Republic of Biafra. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is your take? Whose report will/do you believe? I expect this to be the longest thread ever!

It is clear that the only sun-set visible in the horizon today is that caused by the GREAT RISING SUN OF BIAFRA as she casts her eclipsing shadow on that blight on humanity called Nigeria.

I will take Ojukwu's speach over Gowon. Now 31 years after those two speaches were made which one is more prophetic. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that what Ojukwu said in that speach will eventually happen. Biafra will never die

Bro Ohafia, You know that all the combined brains of Nigeria's heads of state, cannot merit holding the paper from which Enyimba Ojukwu read. Gowon's inferiority complex drove him to the classrooms, afterward.
Nigeria's self-inflicted curse will never depart from his house. The heathen children of the devil perpetrated heinous crimes against God's chosen people whom S/He placed on his/her Hallowed ground. In purnishment, God has cursed the satanic children called Nigeria to have brains that they cannot use, eyes that cannot see, and ears that cannot hear...so that they can self-destruct. The children of God called Biafrans have been promised independence on their promised land of Biafra where they will prosper, shine and be the envy of the world once more.
Therefore, Gowon's speech was spoken on a false tongue and with deceitful mind. That is Nigeria's un-erasable curse.
Baba Gana Kingigbe said so when he brandished a Biafran currency note during his mock debate with Silvester Ugo in 1993.
The Awusa/Yoruba delegates said so when they shouted "Biafra, Biafra" as Ekwueme rose to speak at the Jos primaries.
A retired judge of awusa extraction said so when he accused Okadigbo of trying to actualize Biafra @ the senate. MCK has described the senate debacle as an extension of Biafra.
Aremu said so in Bayelsa!
Biafra will NEVER die! Long live the republic of Biafra.

Hmm....so they all know that Biafra lives and never actually died! Very remarkable, indeed. Biafra will always live!
These sons of satan will always be in perpetual fear of Biafra as they steal and rob her of her resources and progress, as long as they want to keep Biafrans shackled to them.

I am sure that the Nigerians are now living their worst nightmare. The reason is simple. Biafra lives. While he was in the Ivory Coast, General Ojukwu said "Whilst I live, Biafra lives." If he were to visit this forum or be made aware of the numerous Biafra activities going on around the world, he would know that Biafra would live, with or without the first Moses of Biafra. A new generation has accepted the challenge. Ain't no stopping us now.Posts: 90 | Registered: Mar 2001

Did the rising sun ever set? We went to war to stop a genocide most complete. We shall actualize Biafra to ensure that such genocide never happens again.

The Yorubas said so during the June 12 impasse when the Oduduwa press reported the Igbos where discussing United States of Biafra (USB). This was a smokescreen to justify their "momentary" agitation for Oduduwa Republic. Infact, it was widely reported that they went as far as hoisting a Biafran flag at Niger bridge before General Emeka Ojukwu publicly disowned them.
Viva L'Biafra!

The following is an account by bro Wacko which details his encounter with an Eritrean.
"I had the opportunity to meet a certain Mr George yesterday. He was the cab driver, who took me to see areas of interest in during a short break from my engagements. From my accent he deduced that I was African, and enquired about my origins. I explained that I was Biafran, I was pleasantly suprised when he exclaimed ' ah Igbo'. He introduced himself as Eritrean, and then we first delved into the experience of Eritreans in Ethiopia which was very similiar to the experience of Biafrans in Nigeria. He then went on to elaborate on their liberation struggle which lasted over 30 years most of the time without outside support, and how finally they won their struggle. He continuosly used made a statement which I will find very difficult to forget i.e 'A starving freeman is much better than a fully fed slave' Another aspect of their struggle which was very crucial was the fact that every Eritrean in Diaspora who was employed Voluntarily contributed $1 daily towards their liberation efforts. During the hieght of their recent war with Ethiopia over £50 million pounds was raised by Eritreans in US alone. On my part I explained our situation since 1970 and the efforts we are making towards our own Liberation, as well as problems which we are encountering. He then went into a long but very helpful lecture, on the need not to be discouraged,and the need to look up to the vietnamese who fought first the Japanese, then the French and finally the Americans but who ultimately triumphed. According to George, the key to our success lies in Education!, Education!, Education!. We should start at an early stage to inform our people about what we have suffered in Nigeria, What being Nigerian means(3rd class citizen)to us, and that our self determination is the only solution. When our trip ended I thanked him, for the Education, he insisted we exchanged nos and promised to keep in touch. I must say that MR George has re-enforced My views that despite certain actions by our pro-Nigerian Breathrens, Victory is ours."

Mr George was right on the money when he said "a starving freeman is much better than a fully fed slave". This statement should be re-iterated daily to our "Ibo moderates" , Biafran saboteurs, and their simple and slave-minded supporters...on this board and elsewhere, including those wolves in sheep clothing Biafra lovers of one Nigeria extraction. That way, the motivation behind the agitation for Biafra Actualization can sink into their empty skulls.
Eritrea's situation was dishearteningly worse than Biafra's. Eritrea was less in population exercebated by lack of resources, financial and otherwise. But like the Biafrans, they are gifted with hard work and ingenuity. Did I mention that the Biafrans migrated from that region in their journey to the HALLOWED ground of Igboland? Well, they did. Yet the Eritreans pesevered even at the onslaught of Ethipia's sudden firing of all their skilled workers without payment for contract works done, false and arbitrary imprisonments, wanton killings, and forced confistication of their properties. Then, in came Annan and there came Eritrea's indpendence, after 30 yrs of struggle. US vetoed the Eritreans independence bid, but France, USSR, etc, over-rode US veto. The overwhelming majority of countries gave the Eritreans a landslide victory vote shaming and damning the Ethiopians to submission. Discerning nations never count on US for crucial support. Traditionally, US always leave them out to dry.
When Eritrea got their independence, they didn't have one standing infrastructure. The UN (as it is their obligation) set about erecting various infrastructure, training and financing govt personnel for successful transition, and other rehabilitaive actions. Sadly, Eritrea did not possess even one tiny airport then.
Yet, look at them today. They have prospered better than Ethiopia so much that envious Ethiopia plunged them into a three year war due to their frustration from lack of access to the sea, and a possible oil find, at the border within Eritrean territory. Thankfully, they have overcome Ethiopia's detractions and are building up their beautiful nation.
As Eritrea overcame the slavery and suppression under Ethiopia, so will the nwa evule ako children of Biafra.
RESPECT! You captured the history of eritrea so beautifully and in so few words. I was priviledged to visit the place in obedience to the call of duty in 1996 and the picture was there for all to see.
My port of call was the coastal town/village of Asab which is a few days journey from the HQ Asmara. You need to see them to appreciate that statement on the worth of freedom. I know some of us have caught the vision of an unspoilt land where liberty equity and social justice will reign supreme. It was interesting to read the desires of highly educated Biafrans who would just love to retreat to their villages as classroom teachers after actualisation. That to me is the beauty of freedom; the release from the pressures of the present rat race and desire to loot and be accepted.
I can never get over the $1/day. Never!

Thirty one years after the Biafra-Nigeria war, Biafra survives today, and it does so to the chagrin of all those who use violent and terrorist means to seek to suppress the eloquent voices of the children of Biafra. Biafra survives to the chagrin of Obasanjo, who accepted an empty instrument of surrender from General Effiong. Biafra survives to the chagrin of Gowon, who saw a sun-set, a sun-set for Nigeria; but Gowon was an illiterate man, too uneducated to correctly read the message in that sun-set, the message that out of the ashes of Nigeria and the violent ruins of the Biafran war, which he seemed to have won, would emerge a new Biafra. You see, Gowon was delusional. Gowon lived in the West (western Nigeria). Thus, all that Gowon knew were sun-sets. The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. What did Gowon know about SUN-RISE, a RISING SUN, or a RISEN SUN? When Gowon saw the sun-set of the NEVER risen sun that is Nigeria, Gowon became confused. He failed to realize that Biafra was too young to die. Gowon failed to understand that as sure as the sun rises in the East, the RISING SUN OF BIAFRA would inexorably RISE, rise to lead Africa out of backwardness. Gowon failed to understand that the cause for which the Biafrans fought was just and far too sacred to be abandoned in a purported surrender by Effiong. Well, we have news for Nigeria. We reject surrender of good to evil, and we reject the purported surrender of Biafra to Nigeria. We reject the purported surrender of our people to a genocidal mob and the genocidal state of Nigeria.
Gowon failed to accord or allow a proper burial to our Biafran war dead. Adopting, instead, his blind and forlorn insistence that the name Biafra be obliterated from the face of the Earth, Gowon stood in the way of a proper burial and the erecting of memorials for our war heroes. Gowon wasted valuable resources renaming important Biafran landmarks, as though such criminal forgery could erase recorded history or the knowledge and memories of our fathers who were witnesses to the crimes. He caused the spirits of our fallen Biafran heroes to wander around throughout Biafra and BiafraNigeria and therefore awaken a new generation. In the year 2000, Gowon’s comrade and fellow murderous imbecile, Obasanjo, joined Gowon in standing in the way of a proper burial for Biafran war heroes and the victims of the Gowon/Murtala/Obasanjo genocidal rampages. Today, nothing short of Biafra Actualization will please the heroes who laid down their lives so we may live. To the duty of Biafra Actualization, every son and daughter of Biafra must dedicate himself and herself. Our brothers and sisters who are slow to grasp the urgency of this call must be brought back into the fold as quickly as possible.
As morons are fond of oxy-morons, Gowon failed to see the oddity in using the words “sunset” and “RISING SUN” in the same breath, in the same short sentence. Now he knows, or he should know, now, that is, now that he has gone to school at Warwick. A late education is better than none at all, I suppose. Now, after he joined his superior, Emeka Ojukwu at Aburi to secure an agreement that was to prevent war and human carnage, only to return to Nigeria and surrender the agreement to his illiteracy and the evil advice of Awo, Enahoro, and his British masters. Now that late in his life, he has become 1/100th as educated as General Ojukwu was in 1958, let him visit us here and answer the question so eloquently put to him by my brother, Ohafia. Better, let him come to our town meetings around the world and hear what we think about Biafra actualization.
My father told me that among the fortifications that sustained the Biafrans from 1967-70 was something seemingly un-quantifiable, yet supremely tangible in its manifestations amongst Biafrans. He told me that to Biafrans it was so basic, so logical, so imperative, and so immediately observable, something that the Biafrans readily understood, but the Nigerians did not understand and could not have. It is THE SPIRIT OF BIAFRA. The Spirit of Biafra is with us. IT LIVES. BIAFRA LIVES.
I hear you, and "nna gi muru gi". Let him that has ear hear/heed.
Sam; I've read your posting, and I'm sure there are Biafrans more qualified than myself to take you head-on.
As for me, there is overwhelming evidence that Biafra lives. I'm copying excerpts from a post by bro Ochiagha:
quote:
Speaking of Biafra, we should never forget! never ever, forget,the selfless service and sacrifice of our fellow men and women, brothers and sisthers, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers rendered in pursuit of freedom. The other side wants us to pretend that it never happened, they use confusion to trevialize the suffering, the killings, the barberick killings, the war crimes against our people, thinking they have gotten away with cold blooded murders. Just like Hitler and the Germans thought they got away with killing Jews in concentration camps. It may not be in our generation, but history will be told, the truth would come to light. The Jews told and is still telling their stories, we will tell ours to the world!
I appeal to all you forumites, to seek and participate in any up coming gathering (memorial service, conferences, rememberances, etc..) in remeberance of those that gave their lives so that those fortunate enough to have survived the slaughter live. If nothing is planned, propose such to your community organization.
The date is May 29th, for most in US its a three day weekend. Please devote two to three hours to gather with your fellow Igbos in remembrance, tell it to the kids, let them know exaclty what happened, tell your friends, show the pictures; we have to tell our story, nobody will do it for us. Definely not NIGERIA, their president said so any way.

We do not aim to forget, but what will we do with the remembrance? What will we do with the millions dead in Rwanda, in Burundi, in South Africa, in Angola, in Sierra Leone, in Liberia, in Congo Kinshasa. The pratters and prodders will have their say. I doubt any of them have ever had to lay their life on the line. To those who will make romance of war, these few lines -
These fought in any case, and some believing, pro domo in any case
Some quick to arm some for adventure some from fear of weakness some from fear of censure some for love of slaughter, in imagination learning later some in fear, learning love of slaughter;
Died some, pro patria non 'dulce' non 'et decor' walked eye-deep in hell believing in old men's lies, then unbelieving came home, came home to a lie, home to many deceits, home to old lies and new infamy; usury age-old and age-thick and liars in public places.
Daring as never before, wastage as never before Young blood and high blood fair cheeks, and fine bodies;
fortitude as never before
frankness as never before disillusion as never told in the old days, hysterias, trench confessions, laughter out of dead bellies.
...from "Hugh Selwyn Mauberly" by Ezra Pound.
The dead should be left to bury their dead, it's really time to move on.

Damian That was masterful and eloquently well wriiten. yes my Brother the spirit of Biafra will live on. How can we forget when the spirit of our fallen heros are still roaming around Nigeria causing havoc. How come Nigeria have not seen peace or prosperity since after war. How come Nigeria have not had a stable Government since after the war. How come the standard of living in Nigeria has been going down down since after the war. Consider all the military blood Nigeria have shed in the name of coup since after the war. Bisalla, Dimka, Murtala, Gomwalk, Mamman Vesta, etc. Consider that Nigeria military was humiliated in sierra Leone. Have any of you Nigerians stopped to ask why are all this happening.
Nigeria is making million from crude oil yet she is one of the poorest country in the world. A child born in Nigeria today like Rev Nnorom points out, Have less than 50% chance of surviving. A pregnant woman in Nigeria today have less than 45% chance of surviving. Have any of you stop to ask why are all this happening?. Many other corrupt Countries in the world have wiped out their corruption. Yet Nigeria is ranked #1 every year on the most corrupt list. I tell you why, Our Igbos says. "Ihe agbutara na agara ite ji ala na agara onu" And my late Brother Sir worrior also said " ogbu nma ga esi na nma alaa, ogba egbe ga si na ebge ala". Nigeria will never see peace because it takes a lot more energy to hate,. Nigeria wants to continue to oppress Biafrans and the more Nigeria continue to opress Biafrans the more peace ellud Nigeria.
In Igbo culture remember that before we eat or before we drink in any occasion we pray and ask our sibblings who have gone before us to join us and also to protect us. Remember when we say Ala Igbo bia ghuru nmayi or bia ta oji, and we proceeded to pour a libation of wine to the ground. That is to ask those our sibblings to continue the fight. So to make long story short, Our fallen heros are still fighting for Biafra, they have not stopped, They continue to disrupt Nigeria. Obasanjo going to Abacha gulage wasn't a coincidence. Biafra Heros sent him their. Obasanjo will die a horrible death like the rest of them. Danjuma went kuku recently, that was because our fallen heros paid him a visit. Chief Awo is rotting in hell, is it a coincidence. Until Nigeria attone for her genocide against Biafrans Nigeria will never see peace. Ndigbo si obara nga madu abia gbule ya, ya ala wa ala wa akankpu nkpu aga ha apu na azu. Nigeria biara na ala Biafra bia na ami nmanu Biafra , ga na ere ya na kaduna, Lagos, Kano na ebe nile. Ma na ha na mebisi ala Biafra. From yenegoa, Port Harcourt, Uyo, Egbema, Ukwa, Calaber, qua Iboe. ebe ndia nile bu ala Baifra. ya bu ngbe nile anyi na atu nmanya our God's are hearing us. My Fellow Biafrans the God of Biafra is not happy with Nigeria, Our Fallen heros are not happy with Nigeria. We have to continue to call on them, to continue to fight for us. They are doing their part, the God of Biafra is bigger, smarter and more creative than the washed up and descrated God of Nigeria.

...Biafra still lives; it is a living testimony of political wickedness which time will not heal because it is both physical and psychological. And the power of Biafra remains that, as an idea against political oppression, it can never die.

For the Love of a New Nation TEXT OF PROTEST LETTER OF DR. FRANCIS AKANU IBIAM TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
Your Gracious Majesty, I am deeply and humbly constrained to present you with this letter. For many years, indeed throughout my mature life, I had been a proud but disinterested admirer of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and her peoples. The history of Your Majesty’s country is replete with heroism, discoveries which were near miracles, and institutions of higher learning of the most outstanding character and achievement. Britain, though insular and small in size and capacity, had centuries ago proved conclusively, to the world that for any community and nation to reach the acme of greatness and respectability, it is not quantity that counts but quality and the type of people who make up the nation. British Christians had the privilege and honour of evangelizing not only a good part of Africa, my own continent, but also a greater part of the rest of the world. Her missionaries, men and women, left home and kindred and comfortable life, to spread Christianity far and wide in areas of the world where, for want of a better description, life was anything but civilized in the Western sense of the word, civilization. They endured lack of scientifically purified water, electric or gas light. They trekked long miles of single-file roads, endured our moist heat and drenching rains, the nuisance of mosquitoes, and sand flies and other indigenous African insects. In the earlier days of missionary venture, they imported tons of tinned foodstuffs and cared nothing for their lives so long as they could preach the Gospel and its Good News, heal the sick, and bring education and enlightenment to the people. The result of this effective humanitarian service, supported financially, morally, and prayerfully by the Churches way back in their homeland, has born exceedingly abundant fruit, and for us in Biafra (formerly Eastern Nigeria), their work has, by grace of God, made our homeland as much a Christian country as any other reputed countries of the world. Despite annoying treatment meted to me and my fellow African students now and again in certain quarters, I was highly impressed with the religious life of the people of Britain, particularly in Scotland, where I lived and studied in the University of St. Andrews for seven years in one of the coldest parts of the United Kingdom. Altogether, I resided in Britain for ten long years. And having seen their homeland and lived in this Christian atmosphere in which they grew up, the self-denial and self-sacrifice of Christian Missionary came home to me very forcibly, I drew much inspiration from their splendid example, and my understanding and realization of the full meaning and significance of the Christian life dawned on me with great sense of joy and thankfulness. After taking my medical degrees, therefore, I offered my services to the Foreign Mission Committee (now the Overseas Council) of the Church of Scotland, Edinburgh. I joined the Church of Scotland Medical Service, Calabar Mission, Nigeria, and served the mission and its offspring, the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, from February 1, 1936 to January 31, 1967. With the consent and approval of the Overseas Council, I was on leave of absence without pay during the last five years, December 1960, to January 1965, of my missionary service, while I was Governor of Eastern Nigeria. As the only Nigerian among a group of some seventy European Missionaries for twenty five years, the going was in the main, stiff and at various times, I felt most frustrated and unhappy. For although Missionaries inspired me without knowing it themselves, I regret to say that, by and large, they did not encourage me. Such a situation did not bother me, however, because I was inwardly happy to serve my people in this unique capacity, and I was not going to quit, come weal, come woe, until, like other missionaries, I had served my turn for thirty years or reached the age of sixty years. If European missionaries, I argued within me, could leave their well-ordered homeland and ease of life, more or less, and where they could make a name for themselves academically or otherwise, and came to my homeland where amenities of life in the European background were hardly existent, I did not see any reason why I, an African, could not follow in their footsteps and serve my own people in my own country under conditions which called for naked hardship and demanded much self denial and self sacrifice. In 1949 New Year Honours Awards, Your Majesty’s revered and late father, His Majesty King George the sixth, graciously conferred on me the honour to be an Officer of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (O.B.E) for services to the Church and State. Again, in the New Year Honours, 1951, he conferred on me the dignity to be a Knight Commander of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (K.B.E) for selfless service to the Church and my country. I happened to be in London at this time as a special guest of the British Council, and when I was invited by a Buckingham Palace Official to present myself before His Majesty to receive the insignia and accolate of Knighthood, I begged permission to have them conferred on me on my return home to Nigeria. I did receive the insignia and certificate at the hands of His Excellency the then Governor of Nigeria, Sir John Macpherson, but I had the unique distinction and singular privilege of receiving the accolade from Your Majesty’s august person during your Majesty’s Royal and memorable visit to Nigeria in February, 1956. On the attainment and independence of Nigeria and sovereignty by Nigeria on October 1, 1960, Your Majesty was graciously pleased to appoint me as Governor of Eastern Nigeria within the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the recommendation of the Honourable Premier of Eastern Nigeria with the assent of his Excellency the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In August 1962, Your Majesty conferred on me the dignity of being a Knight Commander of the Civil Division of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George (K.C.M.G.). For these great honours and special recognitions, I am humbly grateful to Your Majesty and Your Majesty's Britannic Government. They are a happy reflection of the importance of Africa and her people before God and man. Howbeit, I must renounce all of them at this time. I do so to register the strongest protest at my command against Your Majesty's Government of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for supplying military equipment and arms to Nigeria which has waged a senseless and futile war of aggression against my country, the Republic of Biafra. My objection and protest are directed solely and entirely to the British Government because I believe that the staunch British friends of Africa, particularly the CHURCH, and informed British public opinion will deplore this unkindly act of the British Government to the Republic of Biafra. With the highest sense of responsibility, therefore, and bearing clearly in my own mind the moral issues which are at stake, and my own stand thereat, I return the insignia and paraphernalia of my title to Your Majesty’s Britannic Government through the British Deputy High Commissioner who is resident here in Enugu - the capital city of the Republic of Biafra. During the months of May, July, August, and September, 1966, Northern Nigerian soldiers and civilians planned and committed the most atrocious crimes against E
