After looking at the uninspiring pile of shiiit dumped here by Babz, I was reminded of the hunger induced songs those village hunters recite just before they embark into the jungle on a foray for bushmeat.

Land of the rising sun, we love and cherish, Beloved homeland of our brave heroes; We must defend our lives or we shall perish, We shall protect our hearts from all our foes; But if the price is death for all we hold dear, Then let us die without a shred of fear.
Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation, Oh fatherland, this be our solemn pledge: Defending thee shall be a dedication, Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege; The waving standard which emboldens the free Shall always be our flag of liberty.
We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal, And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass; When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal, We shall remember those who died in mass; Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.
Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall, Guide all our movements lest we go astray; Give us the strength to heed the humanist call: ‘To give and not to count the cost" each day; Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness, To make this clime a land of righteousness.
Here are some comments inspired from the heart:
Ohafia Udumeze: God bless you Biafra for that lovely song. just what I needed as I prepare to go home! Biafra lives!
Kabaka: For a Catholic like me, BiafraNigeria is the purgatory, after death(Nigeria), on the way to Heaven and to life(Biafra)
Biafra: The only national anthem with an inspirational message.
Now need I say more?
Biafra, my love for you burns on like an unquenchable fire in my heart.
Long may your flames stay kindled.
Happy anniversary to all Biafrans Worldwide.

From now on our motto should be communication, communication, communication. It permits us to communicate intelligently with all Igbo on "what" "when" and "how". Through the above mentioned communication, we can achieve the following:
1) nominate undisputed leaders through Igbo elections. Who says elections says convincing the majority of the polulation and as such we should always be on campaign.
2) Of course, the above means that the Igbo at home and in diaspora will always speak with one voice.
3) For any future elections in that country, the Igbo should be able to say under which conditions the organization of the elections are satisfactory. If those conditions are not met, then we should boycott the elections. It will be very easy if the above Igbo-one-voice objective is achieved.
We all know that nothing can be achieved without efforts and that with enough efforts everything becomes possible. As picasso put it, "Everything you can imagine is real".

As corrected by C Ikpatt almost two years ago, the picture posted by UKAOBASI was the depiction of a SUNSET, and as we all know, THE SUN OF BIAFRA WAS SET AND RESTED IN JANUARY 1970.
The brave warrior who received that article of SUNSET- SURRENDER is no other person than:
THE PRESIDENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
Biafra was an illusion that was dead on conception
quote:Nigerian officials said General Obasanjo, who was serving a 15-year sentence for taking part in an attempted coup, had been released on compassionate grounds and confined to his farm.
But for one Igbo fool named Nwokolo who was spoon-feeding him in jail, the bastard would not have survived to ridicule Africa before the civilised world. It is good to know we can call up what Ikpatt said two years ago. Bababoyz, how about what was said at Nigeriaworld six months ago? You were one of the most vocal marketeers of that fraud. wither now?
quote:A bad military administrator is worse than a raging uncontrollable mob and an armed robber. In politics, he destroys and kills and guards himself with his arms. In social system, he destroys and demolishes and stands armed on the tower ready for the worst to happen to whosoever may lift up his voice or his head
sounds familiar?
Mgbo piafu kwa gi na Obasanjo isi!

All, Whether we like it or not, as long as there's a race in the world known as I-G-B-O, there'll always be Biafra. For unlike what some would think or say, Biafra is Igbo and vice-versa.
At this date and time of Igbo experience in Nigeria, especially as some Nigerians have resorted to misleading the world of why the Igbos went to the great length they went from 1967 to 1970 to DEFEND themselves from the GENOCIDAL NIGERIANS, it becomes necessary that we continue to tell the TRUTH of how that war would have been avoided. This message has also become urgently necessary, vis-a-vis, the media campaign innitiated by the Yoruba and their agents to make Ojukwu be guilty and some are so ignorant that they accuse him of "starting" the Nigerian civil war.
In memory of the dead Biafrans (Igbos and non Igbos alike) whose story has been distorted by some DISINGENIOUS Nigerian writers (especially of the Yoruba/Bini stoke), I hereby repost the mail I first posted on August 11 2002 explaining how MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE that it was the breaking of infamous 'Aburi Accord' by the then Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon-led Nigerian government and NOT Ojukwu's alleged "lust for power" nor Ndigbo's "intransigence" that led Nigeria into a war that was from all available historical FACTS avoidable.
Enjoy: -------------------------------------------------- Though the killing of people of Igbo descent that followed the failed coup of 1966 contibuted to the disillusment by most Igbos with the Nigerian state and later gave anger that led them to head east and to mid-western region that Igbos come from, that in itself ALONE did not make them to demand for a seperate state, rather it was the breach of the Aburi accord by the Gowon-led central government that actually led Nigeria to that AVOIDABLE and senseless war.
Prelude to the war: After the coup of 1966 and the couter-coup of 1967 and the killings and displacements of Igbos, there was uncertainty in the country (Nigeria).
Aburi Accord the Ghananian Head of State, General Ankrah extended an invitation to his Nigerian colleagues to take advantage of NEUTRALITY in far removed territory of Ghana to discuss their differences which was widly reported around the world. On January 4th and 5th 1967, Nigeria's military leaders and some top-level civil servants comprising the following, rank and their region of origin were assembled in Aburi, Ghana:
Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon (Federal Head of State)
Colonel Robert Adebayo (Gov. Western Region)
Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu (Gov. Eastern Region)
Lt. Col. David Ejoor (Gov. Mid-Western Region)
Lt. Col. Hassan Katsina (Gov. Northern Region)
Others were: Commodore J.E.A Wey (Head of Nigerian Navy)
Major Mobolaji Johnson (Administrator Lagos)
Alhadji Kam Selem (Insp. General of Nigerian Police)
Mr. Omo-Bare (Deputy Inspector of Mid-West Region Police Command)
Mr. S.I.A Akenzua (Permanent Under-Secretary Cabinet Office)
