    All of a sudden, they are backing out. They are all coward. Just get your Biafra. My advice to BIM, IPOB is to recall all of their governors, legislators, etc in SE. And if they refuse, they should either kill them all or vote them out. Float another party that is sympathetic to the cause of Biafra. Biafra needs to go. Apparently, they are beginning to see that majority of SS do not want any part of Biafra, with the few ibos among them. Even among those few one, majority of them do not want any part of Biafra. ibos are trying to blackmail Buhari. They did everything to smear Buhari. They should just leave Nigeria and spare us their headaches.

      Why are you so obsessed with the name Biafra? The fear for Biafra restoration is the beginning of wisdom for people like you. If you are banking on the support of non-Igbo Biafrans in the South-South to defeat this struggle, you will be highly disappointed. I am Ijaw by tribe, Ijaws are more Biafra than Igbos. Evil agents of divide and rule like you cannot divide us again. The last election separated our brothers from enemies. The result of REFERENDUM on Biafra will shock ungrateful parasites like you. The name Biafra originated from Bight of Biafra which is located along coastal line of Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River states. You cant speak for us. On Biafra we stand! Pls google this:www.worldstatesmen.org/Nigeria.htm for history of Biafra.

      The fallacy of Biafra became more obvious when the meeting of Igbo politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen and intellectuals to deliberate on the pro Biafran protests, had no single SS or non Igbo ethnic representation.
      Beyond the misguided, poor, unemployed and their con artist leaders, Igbo’s in the majority are not for Biafra. This is why Kanu shies away from calling for a referendum

      Igbo have used the BIAFRA Project to deny Igbo what they truly deserve in Nigeria.
