Igbo ethnic people of Southeastern Nigeria have a population of 50 million. They are predominantly Christians and Animists. The majority of the other Nigerians are predominantly Muslims. Culturally, religiously and ethnically the Nigerian society has remained incongruous and violently conflicted...

Looking in from the outside Nigeria appears to have numerous problems. (There is no doubt now in anyone´s mind that Nigeria is a failed state by all definitions). Some people have surmised that Nigeria´s problems are, amongst others; pogroms, genocides, ethnic/religious cleansing resul...

May 1, 2012 marked the first year anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden. For almost ten years he succeeded in evading justice. Six of those years he spent in a compound specifically built for him in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Bin Laden´s house was less than a mile from one of the most imp...

In his recent article, John Campbell writing about the Easter Day suicide bombing of a Christian church in the Nigerian city of Kaduna succeeded in disappointing some of us who have been following his write-ups on Nigerian affairs. (Dozens of people were killed and the Islamic terrorist group Boko...

There are some people like Chinua Achebe who advocate for time over which there will be a considerable assimilation and understanding among the numerous different peoples and cultures within the Nigerian union. The unassailable answer to that line of reasoning which has a tinge of sophistry in i...

It is not unexpected that people have grown to have all sorts of emotional attachment to the Nigerian state. For some these are real and genuine feelings of patriotism but for many others they have nothing but pure hatred for a country that has so mistreated and brutally murdered them in several...

Right now there are many groups that are fiercely contending for the disintegration of the Nigerian union. All the ethnic/regional blocs that have close cultural affinities are coming together to campaign to separate and become independent of the Nigerian state. The agitations are too loud for any...

DIVIDE NIGERIA TODAY
Nigeria´s situation is utterly hopeless and it is only fools who refuse to see that the only solution to the problem is the division of the country. There will never come a time when it will get better. This conclusion is very easy to reach because the Islamic killers...

It is a known fact that in the last 50 years there has not been any other group of people in the world who has suffered more genocidal murders or ethnically/religiously cleansed than the Igbo/Biafra ethnic group. The Igbo/Biafra Genocide (also known as Biafra Genocide or Nigeria Genocide in Biafra...

In recent time it has become a full-time job for some dubious and dishonest Nigerians to deny the Biafra Genocide also known as Nigeria Genocide in Biafra. Some go to the ridiculous extent of saying that it never happened. Such ones are wishful thinkers. They would have wished that there were no r...

Here we are going to consider the theory of a former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo who believes in the divine creation of the Nigerian state. Of course for a man like Obasanjo and the part he has played in the Nigeria affairs it is not difficult to see how it is easy for him to believe a...

Since the formation of the ill-fated Nigerian union (the infamous Amalgamation of 1914) by the imperialist government of Great Britain, the people of the Islamic North of Nigeria have never hidden the fact that they dislike the arrangement and would want to be left alone by the Christian South.

It is sad enough to commit mass murder on an ethnic group of people with the expressed intention of completely exterminating them off the face of the Earth. That is what Nigeria and its citizens did (and are still doing) on the Igbo and other Biafran ethnic groups between 1966 and 1970. By the con...

The language is plain enough for all to understand what Biafran advocates want but it seems like some people still fail to comprehend it. For those who fail to get the message it may bear repeating over and over again. We, Biafrans want a clean-cut separation from Nigeria; free, independent and so...

The Igbo/Biafran Pogrom or Nigerian-government-organized massacre of Igbo/Biafrans in Nigeria by both the Nigerian state and its citizens in 1966 happened in two separate waves. The first wave began in July of that year after Yakubu Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma, Sani Bello and the other officers of...

Let no one make mistake about it. A great crime and injustice has been committed against Igbo people by Nigeria and its citizens; the Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani.
