My name is Chigọzịrịm Emeakayi, I'm not a Biafran. I'm from Anambra State, Nigeria. I will never be associated with the mentally unstable bunch of fanatics called IPOB.
I am a Nigerian and will remain a Nigerian till I die!
Please fellow Biafrans, when you meet people like this, who express their opinion, don’t insult them, just try to re-educate,
We are more responsible if we handle our differences in a civilized manner, rather than using violence to shut down people's opinion, not everyone in your direct family share the same ideas with you, here is a responds to all none believers of Biafra, the one nigeria lovers,
Chigọzịrịm, I hear your point — but many of us come to the exact opposite conclusion precisely because we are from Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Rivers, or anywhere in the old Eastern Region.
But millions of people are asking for Biafra because Nigeria has consistently shown that Igbo lives, Igbo development, and Igbo security are not priorities. This is not fanaticism — it is the product of decades of oppression, neglect, and systematic inequality.
Here’s why people call for Biafra:
1. The Southeast suffers deliberate underdevelopment
No functioning federal infrastructure.
Almost no federal presence compared to other zones.
Ports deliberately restricted, forcing all imports through Lagos.
Roads collapsed for decades (Enugu–Onitsha, Aba–PH, Okigwe–Umuahia).
People are asking: If we are “one Nigeria,” why are we treated as the least important part of it?

2. Political marginalization
Since 1970, Igbo people have been:
Shut out from key federal security positions,
Excluded from meaningful national decision-making,
Treated as political outsiders.
Even when the Southeast votes, the votes rarely translate into national influence.
---
3. Security failures
The Southeast has been:
Over-militarized,
Under-protected,
And frequently brutalized by the same forces meant to protect citizens.
At the same time, herdsmen attacks, kidnappings, and killings are often ignored or downplayed.
People ask: How can a country claim you as a citizen but leave you to die unprotected?
---
4. Economic oppression
The Southeast produces some of the most entrepreneurial people in Nigeria, yet:
There are no functioning federal industries,
Businesses face discriminatory policies,
And federal appointments rarely include competent Igbo professionals.
People are simply tired of a system where the more they achieve, the more the state suppresses them.
---
5. Historical trauma
We cannot pretend the genocide of 1967–70 did not happen.
Three million people died.
No justice.
No accountability.
Not even an official apology.
A nation that refuses to acknowledge your trauma cannot expect your loyalty.
---
6. Rising poverty and suffering under the current structure
Nigeria today is:
Economically collapsing,
Insecure across all regions,
Politically unstable,
And pushing millions into poverty.
People seek Biafra not out of hatred for Nigeria, but out of the desire for a system that values their lives.
---
Conclusion
You have every right to remain Nigerian.
But millions demand Biafra because they want:
dignity,
security,
economic opportunity,
and a political structure where their voice matters.
This isn’t “mental instability.”
It’s the natural reaction of a people who have suffered too long and are tired of pretending everything is fine.
Biafra is not the enemy.
Silence in the face of suffering is. #freedomtomazinnamdikanu #policymakers #FREEDOMTOBIAFRA
