The leader of a movement to establish an independent state of Biafra in Nigeria was seated in the VIP section of President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Des Moines last night.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who was wearing a Make America Great Again knit hat, sat among top Iowa Republican officials throughout the evening. He appears to have sat close to state Rep. Ashley Hinson, a Republican congressional candidate in Iowa’s 1st District.
This morning, he tweeted out photos of him with Congressman Steve King and other attendees.
“What a night! I want to thank my friends in the leadership of the Republican Party in the great state of Iowa for a remarkable evening in Des Moines,” Kanu wrote on Facebook. “Truly delighted to be amongst such warm and compassionate people. A memorable and resoundingly thunderous speech by President Donald J. Trump. What a man, what a president!”
A Biafra news site referred to Kanu as a “special guest of honor.”
The Nigerian leader had specific for praise for King.
“Our dear friend Congressman Steve King (R-Kiron) was there too, such a conscientious and caring gentleman,” Kanu said.
It’s my pleasure be at Trump Rally in Des Moines Iowa, by the way, VIP section, and I could see some @GOP heavyweights.
The energy in the place is electrifying. The people of USA love @realDonaldTrump #MAGA #Biafra will be great again. pic.twitter.com/q0ILfocvTf

Kanu leads the Indigenous People of Biafra, an organization pushing for a free and independent state in southeast Nigeria. Biafra was once an independent state for a few years in the late 1960s, but its creation sparked a civil war in Nigeria that eventually ended the small nation’s existence.
Many of the Igbo people who make up the Biafra region of Nigeria are Christian, and religious differences were one of the reasons for the previous conflict. Nigeria as a whole is about half Muslim and half Christian.
King has expressed interest in Christian rights in foreign countries before, though the congressman has never tweeted about Nigeria, Biafra or Kanu.
In recent months, Biafra activists appear to have been pushing the idea that Trump was about to recognize their movement in some way. They pointed to his signing of a bill related to American tribal sovereignty that they believed would mean he’d back indigenous efforts like their own.
A fact check website looked at an article being shared on Facebook that claimed that Trump was supporting Biafra independence by sending $200 billion to Kanu’s account in order to build an oil refinery in the Biafra region.
“Africa Check found no evidence linking the US president with the Indigenous People of Biafra, who want an independent country,” they wrote. “There is no mention of any meetings between Trump and Kanu on the US president’s public schedule calendar. Trump’s diplomatic meetings are usually reported by the US media, but have not publicised any meetings between Trump and Kanu.”
Several hours after Starting Line tweeted out a photo of the VIP section, Biafra supporters recognized Kanu and began claiming that his inclusion at the event could signal the President’s support of their movement.
Questions sent to Kanu were not immediately responded to.

So many years after the civil war, the west and their northern counterpart are still seeing the east as a conquered enemies the reason they team of to deny the region of any meaningful development, no infrastructure, no good road, no ports, just nothing good from the federal government to talk about in the eastern region. Had it not been for the natural deposit(oil) that is been exploited from that area Nigeria would have been disintegrated for long. The east have been marginalize for so long, since after the civil war over fifty something years ago they still cant be allowed to produce a president in the country despite all the sacrifice, dedication that the mighty & low from the east has showed to the country. It will interest everyone to know that no single seaport in the eastern region is functioning 100%, instead goods that are meant to be used in the eastern part of the country are been discharged in western ports in which after the Process of clearing from the government agencies is been done, such goods will be then transported back to the eastern region with a very huge amount of money because of the far distant, in some occasion the truck conveying such goods end up involving in accidents destroying all the goods due to bad road, in other case some are been hijacked by criminals along the highway despite the present of the military that are been mounted along the eastern highways. In terms of running the affairs of the country the easterners are considered as third class citizens as they are been given left over appointments. Even in the formation of the country’s security formation they are no where near among the top hierarchy’s. You can check the names of all the top military, naval, air force, police & immigrations even customs officers. The people from the eastern part of nigeria are considered third class citizens. During the the last presidential & governorship election held in nigeria people from the south east where seriously disfranchised both in these residing in their region & outside their region. Recently the federal government are granting state pardon to members of the dreaded boko haram & iswa terrorist fighters been caught during the war by nigerian soldiers, in the other hand they killed, mayhem & labeled the innocent citizens from the south easter that are calling for referendum “terrorist”. If after so many years after the civil war we can’t still live as one, no equity, no justice, no equal right, love, no development, no good roads, no good hospital, just no federal presence in the south east, the best thing is for the country to disintegrate let every region develop it’s own country at it’s own capacity.
It’s important the US media pay close attention to the political happenings in the Southeast and South south zones of Nigeria that make up Biafra.
Every support by the US political office holders on Biafra agitation will be highly appreciated.
What’re you trying to say now please mister man?
You must know how passionate the people of Biafra are about their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The admiration of Kanu by Biafrans and so many in Africa has reached a fever pitch since the brutal Islamic government in Nigeria attempted to assassinate in September, 2017 by invading his house with battalions of soldiers. He escaped and his where about was unknown for a year, before he resurfaced in Israel. Twenty Biafrans were killed during that invasion, including his dog, jack, as the soldiers shot every living thing on site. Biafrans seek freedom because of the brutal killings and persecution they have faced in the hands of the majorly Islamic government of Nigeria, since the end of the 1967-1970 genocidal Biafra war in Nigeria.
Well write up but little controversial, Kanu is not a Nigeeian Independence Leader ,We are Biafrans and We are IPOB in Biafran Land
We they people of Biafra love him and are ready to die for him if they need arise and this Biafran State we must get .
I am a member of indiginous people biafra(IPOB) and our quest is to restore our once existing nation.we are peaceful and all we want is referendum to determine the fate of our people thanks.
All hail Biafra our land.
By the Grace of God Almighty we will actualize it.
Please President Donald J. Trump and U.S.A, we the people of Biafra know that the day you will remember us will be the day that we will be free from nigerian government that supports the terrorist fulani hersmen and boko haram.
Please come to our rescue and stop stop them from killing us and raping our woman and at the same time taking our ancestral homeland.
Thank you Nnamdi Kanu(Ohamadike)
Thank you U.S.A
@patraynard the report you took from factcheck and Africacheck are examples of fake news by the Nigerian government-sponsored disinformation propaganda media platforms against Biafra and IPOB.Factcheck and Africacheck should themselves be checked because the same fake news and inaccurate information they claim to be fighting against is their own “raw material” for what they call facts and truth they report. They get their information from unreliable fake news platforms that publish false information against IPOB and Biafra (in this case fake information produced by the Nigerian government to discredit Biafra) is what they also use to discredit Biafra self-determination group, IPOB.Where are their integrity and accurate reporting ethics? Where is professionalism and ethnics of investigative journalism they claim to be practicing when they (factcheck and Africacheck have zero assurance quality/quality control and their reliability is in question. It is unfortunate that you have fallen victim of this inaccurate reporting from factcheck and Africacheck which rely on fake news to also to report falsehood as accurate information for the public. We advice you to fact-check factcheck and Africacheck and notice their own inaccurate reporting in order to learn better and experience the classic well-oiled Nigerian scam against the innocent.Simply put, it is about time the fact-checker is checked. None of the social media accounts that they rely on belongs to IPOB or Biafra family. They are all fake blogs and social media accounts and which we debunk from time to time. President Trump did not give Nnamdi Kanu or Biafra any money. These two fact-checkers should know better because armchair reporting without investigation makes them dangerous to the public they claim to be serving.Nigeria runs syndicates, cartels and chains of fake social media accounts on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and blogs that dish out fake news and deceptive messages using names of Biafra and IPOB.They now turn around and use neutral names in same blogs, social media to cast doubt at the same deceptive messages they generated and sent with those fake accounts and partner Africacheck and Facebook in Lagos.Please take note of our official websites@ http://www.ipob.org; http://www.radiobiafra.co. and on social media on Twitter@justice4Biafra
No fake news has been reported on our sites .Every apart from those above report false or negative information on IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra and are part of the scam and fake news industry being run by proxy by the Nigerian intelligence services, ministry of information and the presidency. Beware of Nigerian scam and fake news. To prove what we say, investigate Africa check and fact check to notice that virtually everything about their publications on Biafra, IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu is fake and researched from these fake websites.
It’s a greater honor for Mazi Nnamdi KANU to participate @President JP Trumps rally.
And its very good for one or country to be independent. Thanks.

Many died during the Biafra Trump support rally at Port Harcourt City Biafra Land on the day of the President’s inauguration. Those who died were shot dead by the Nigeria army only because they raised the Biafra, the American and the Israeli flags in support of President Trump. The president has his largest African support in Biafrans. Judge for yourself why Nnamdi Kanu needs President Trump’s help to restore Biafra and save lifes from the Fulani feudal and Islamist barbarism called one Nigeria
Mr Rynard well I have some corrections to make to you. You don’t address Biafrans as just South East because nothing like South South in geographic compass. Biafrans are made up of people from the Eastern region which the igbos are not the only tribe in it though they are predominantly. Please take that correction for further reference. Thanks
To God be the glory. I believe God is working towards the actualization of the Sovereign state of BIAFRA. Indeed, what we could not achieve through the barrel of guns, God is working it out through diplomacy. Our God is indeed dependable, put your trust in HIM and you are a winner. God bless BIAFRA, God bless America, God bless Donald Trump and God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB.
This is an unbiased reporting
I like it
Keep it up
We believe that Mr Trump is a good Christan that cares about the welfare of christains.
We the Christan of southern Nigeria are going through much hardship and serious persecution from the hands of Muslim controlled federal government.
We have been killed in millions, you can Google the Nigerian/Biafran war and have little experience of what we are talking about.
We want president Trump and other world leaders to save of from extinction by giving us Biafra through a referendum
Biafra now ir never.
Biafra now or never.
Nigeria must fall and Biafra must be restored.
Nigerian government killed more than 300 biafrans because of their support for American president. I’m not sure what’s wrong about seeking self determination. Biafrans should be allowed to go back to their country.
@Mr Rynard,the indigenous people of Biafra appreciate you and your concern and we love Trump and support him, including the people good people of America.Many IPOB was killed by Nigeria murderous security agents on the day of Trump’s inauguration in 2017 and that shows how much Biafrans love Trump and America and we plead that our message should be relayed to Mr Trump on the issues affecting us as a people because we are people singled out for total destruction by fulani jihadist.An urgent intervention is needed without delay because the killing is still ongoing and I also want to correct an observation about refering us as people of Nigeria or South east and south south seeking for independent from Nigeria,no,we are Indigenous people of Biafra from the old eastern region of the contraption called Nigeria and in the cardinal point,there is nothing like south south thanks and may God bless you,bless Trump,bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,bless Israel,bless America and bless Biafra.
All hail Biafra!
We are happy to report that we are many in the United States and stand ready to support politicians like President Trump who is willing to help us gain freedom from Nigeria and restore the sovereign nation of Biafra
At least thanks for recognized that name Biafra, that name is very important and precious to Us, US should save lives of Indigenous people of Biafra, some times I asked myself why is international media kept mute of what is happening in Nigeria, is it because of their business and interests they are getting nigerian government, is natural resources better than human lives? A lot of people have been died and still dying because of error British made in 1914, America as a world power can still save the lives of millions of Indigenous peoples in so called nigeria.
God bless America
God bless Biafra
God bless Donald Trump
God bless my Learder Nnamdi Kanu Mazi himself
God the good people of Americans
God bless #IPOB world wide.

REPLY
It’s funny that South South is been mentioned as part of the regions that made up Biafra, pls for your information, we the South South are not part of Biafra, though we don’t against their agitation bcoz we also have our agitation long ago b4 they started theirs, bringing our own Niger Delta Republic agitation to merge with theirs is the worst analysis anyone can make in this context. Thanks and God bless our struggling for Niger Delta Republic
There is no independent leader on earth that has ever been loved like we do to our Supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,
We call upon the whole world to look down to Nigeria to see how the Christians in southeastern Nigeria are been killed in hundreds on a daily bases, we need help from the whole powerful country we call upon United state of America to come for the rescue of the people of southeast Nigerian Christian. All hail Biafra America must be great again!!
Nigeria and Africa media are been bought by Nigeria government to publish fake news against Biafra, and they have been covering all the killing sponsored by the Nigeria Government against Biafra and IPOB, you can only accept any news you hear directly from radio Biafra, God bless America, God bless Israel and God bless Biafra
Am happy that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu made it to the United States of America even though Nigeria has been banned from US. That’s why we are Biafrans and not Nigerians. Biafra is the solution to all African problems. I love Trump, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra ??❤️?
I live in a foreign land and one great thing God can do for me is Biafra Restoration so that I can Go to my Home Real Home .
The world should look into the atrocities taking place in Nigeria. Biafra people are mainly Christians and Jewish worshippers in the South Eastern part of Nigeria. The Nigerian government been sponsored by the Britain murdered over 6million Biafrans between 1967 to 1970 using a genocidal war called Nigerian Biafra war simply because we asked for freedom. The war have never stopped because they keep on killing Biafrans till date through illegal arrest, extrajudicial killings, marginalization, economic strangulation, quota system and rest of them. They forcefully turned Nigeria into a Muslim country where they breed Boko haram,iswam,Fulani herdsmen (World most dreaded terrorist organization according to terrorism index). These Islamic terrorists are slaughtering Biafrans who are Jews and Christians everyday in Nigeria and the world is keeping quiet. Could it mean that the world is dump,blind and deaf?
America should look into Nigeria issue and free Biafra. All the western diplomats in Nigeria are fraudulent. They always compromise and never report what is happening in Nigeria to their home country.
Sad
I seem so shocked that at this age, the issue of Nigeria and Biafra is being reported like this. Firstly and for the umpteenth time,Nnamdi KANU has said he is not a Nigerian and should not be addressed as such. Secondly and to buttress the comment from Alphonsus Uche Okafor-Mefor,the Nigerian government are seriously working very hard to suppress anything IPOB. If the Americans are serious to get the real story behind the fight by IPOB to break free from Nigeria,they should come down here in the eastern Nigeria to ask the people on the street about what the think and feel breaking away from Nigeria and not relying in fake media that dish anything negative about Biafra. The people of biafrans want their freedom from the madness called Nigeria. Everything is very wrong with Nigeria from inception. From the creation to the present situation on ground. Why don’t the main stream media like cnn,bbc and the likes report issues concerning Biafra? Who is afraid of Biafra? Recently,America slammed a ban on Nigerians wishing to relocate (immigration visa) to the USA. Nigerian,including Biafrans are running from this hell hole. Why can’t US,UK and the world lowers work for Biafra independence?
In Biafra we stand
I call on the civilised people of the world to take the Biafra issue seriously and stop pretending not knowing the genocide, crimes against humanity and other numerous injustices perpetrated against Biafrans in nigeria. There’s no race in the world who would allow themselves to be subjugated and remain in slavery for so long in this modern times. The powers that are supporting the barboric fulani administration in nigeria should find ‘morality’ in their dictionary and stop the ongoing genocide against Biafrans in nigeria. We Biafrans have absolutely nothing in common with the fulanis and we can never remain in the same country with them. The powers that be in the world should come out and support the restoration of the Sovereignty of Biafra in the mostly peacefull manner.
Our leader, HRH Namdi Kanu is the leader of IPOB worldwide; and he is indeed a Head of State in waiting; so, I am profoundly pleased that some fair and peace loving people of the world are according him his due respect at high places as the head of Biafrans all over the world.

You can not continue to stay in a union or relationship where the intent of the other person is to see you cry, suffer and die.
You don’t want me, you don’t like me, you don’t like what I like; we can’t continue.
Separation remains the answer.
BIAFRA IS THE ANSWER. We wish to be independent.
We share so many things in common with the GOP, most especially in ideology, it is why we support Trump 100% despite the travel ban.
In fact, we support the ban. All we are asking for is help to disintegrate from Nigeria.
We believe in Trump. I personally supported Trump with 500 USD in his last election.
Anyone who help Biafra to be his name will be written in gold. Biafran people have indurred enough. God bless Donald Trump. God bless America. God bless Biafra
Why wouldn’t the Biafrans agitate for a total restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra. Nigeria is a faild entity and as I speak its currently governed by terrorists; 1) fulani herdsmen, 2) Boko Haram, 3) An impostor president from Sudan.
The war has never ended since it was formally declared ended. The nigeria has failed to implement the ( 3 R ) adopted to facilitate stability and peace.
On the contrary nigeria government for 50 + years had chose to continue murdering people from Biafra extraction particularly the Igbos on an alarming rate, there is No development in the Biafra territory by the so called FG, No Seaports in Biafra territory, No International Airport in Biafra territory, No workable Roads in Biafra territory, No oil refinery in Biafra Land which produces all the oil wells in nigeria. The FG is shamelessly engaged in one of the most inhuman treacherous practices by dividing us Biafrans against ourselves. We Biafrans had endured so much evil in the hand evil men, because of 1 nigeria. The list why Biafrans agitate for total independent are countless.
Nigeria today, simply means a Liar. People ‘s vote are less to no importance., Which means ppl can not successfully vote into authority who they wish without being rigged. Nigeria is basically an entity amalgamated to serve the benefits of the colonial master, “Britain”.
Do you see the EVIL peddled against Biafrans and why we have decided to leave?

May God bless all human born anywhere in the world who are working diligently for the independence of Biafra. It is a call to save life, a call to save humanity. In Christ together with America we shall triumph. Amen
Thanks so much for the unbiased report, though there are some areas in this report that needs to be corrected. First, there are many fake blogs by Nigeria government spreading fake news about biafra. We biafrans look up to great leaders of the world with conscience to help us from the Nigerian Islamic jihadist state and safe us from genocide being perpetrated on us by Nigeria. God bless America, God bless Biafra.
All we want is Biafra, total independent from Nigeria, we have died enough as Christians
God bless #Biafra, the beautiful land of the rising Sun.
@patrynard, you can read and learn more about Republic of Biafra. We are Biafrans, we are not Nigerians.
God bless United State of America.
God bless Israel.
Long live Biafra Republic.
The marriage cum amalgamation of 1914 was forcefully fraudulent and the officiating minister who also collected the marriage price or dowry (Britain) is divorced after 47years in her marriage with the EU. Yet Britain fraudulently and tactically continue to reap from this unholy marriage of mixing oil and water. The Northern protectorate are muslims, jihadists and against everything the Southern protectorate who are predominantly Christians and indigenous in nature stand for. The resources of the south sustains the North. Government and leadership has been hijacked by the North as Britain adviced them not to let go, supported them during the first uprising/civil war, still support them even when the current government is bent on annihilation of christianity in Nigeria. The number of Christians slaughtered by Gen Buhari’s fulani regime since 2015 is more than the number of Rohingya victims, yet the world kept mute because Britain is interested in concealing it. Christians in Kaduna are being killed on daily basis, the world kept mute. Just on Friday, 18year okd seminarian of biafran decent was abducted and murdered in Kaduna. The Fulani Govt of Gen Buhari opened boarder to all Fulanis from West Africa to invade Nigeria. Issuing them national identity cards and preparing them for the oncoming census while denying the Southerners their civic rights of owning national identity cards.
All service chiefs and heads of securities are norther Fulani muslims. Where is the federalism? Biafrans are marginalised in education quota system, employment quota system, infrastructure deficiency, no federal Govt presence and yet not allowed to champion their own survival. Biafrans are traders and merchants, recently the Fulani Government of Gen Buhari has banned imports of many products from and closed our southern boarder while the northern boarders are open. Weapons are flooding Nigeria from northern boarders for Boko Haram and ISWAP and Fulani herdsmen.
They resorted to burning of Igbo businesses and markets, shops, use of petrol tanker suicide drivers to burn Biafrans alive in mass.
The captured terrorists of Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen are either set free, paid compensation or integrated into the Nigerian police and army by choice while innocent unarmed IPOB members are classified and proscribed as terrorist by Buhari, many confined in prison without trial and no bail while his own Fulani herdsmen and Miyetti Allah group who are wading AK47 rifles, killing and raping women and terrorising Christians are being sponsored and encouraged with hundreds of billions of Naira.
The presidents spokesman even said “it’s better to give your land to Fulani herdsmen than to be killed”.
It’s a direct occupation, colonization and Islamization of Nigeria by Gen Buhari and his west African fulani muslims. If nothing is done, the war in Rwanda will be nothing compared to the war that will break out in Nigeria. We the southerners will NEVER EVER allow the uncircumcised fulani muslims to capture and occupy our land.
We are different and peculiar people and share nothing in common with the nomads. It’s in the best interest of Britain and the world that this forced marriage be broken.
Just as Britons went to poll on referendum to decide their divorce from EU, we call for referendum to decide our faith and peaceful divorce from Nigeria. We are Biafrans, we are indigenous by nature and we are sacred people who want to live, work, protect our land and worship our God our own way
When Donald Trump won elections, Biafrans were jubilating and dancing on the streets, General Buhari sent mobile police and Army to shoot at them. Almost 27 Biafrans lost their lives without any compensation to their families.
When Dinald Trump ordered the killing of Iranian Terror Gen Soleiman, Northern Muslims were on the streets protesting, destroying Christian properties and burning American flags. General Buhari did not sent soldiers to shoot at them, WHAT DOES THAT PROVE TO YOU???
Thanks for the report. We the biafrans in the Nigerian State had really endured enough injustices, marginalization and worst of all killings being perpetrated by violent Fulani herders in the guise of farmers-herders clash. We call on the United States and other civilised world to come to the rescue of Biafrans and ensure the State of Biafra is restored. God bless America, God bless Biafra, God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’ God bless IPOB family worldwide
I am a veteran of the Nigeria-Biafra war, participating from July 1967 to January 1970 in all the sectors of the war. Knowing the sentiments of a representative section of the people of the nonIgbo speaking people of the so-called SS we should confine our scope to Igbo speaking areas i.e., the SE large chunks of SS and parts of Benue and Kogi States.
Thank you @patraynard for your unbiased reporting. I want correct an impression Clifford SJW and his co always make about Biafra. It was soldiers of so called South South or Niger Delta that spear headed first military coup that killed top Northern Political elites which sparked off the civil war and the same Niger Delta people that gave the name Biafra. The struggle is for the emancipation of the people of old eastern region and I urge some disgruntle fellows like you to join the movement for Biafra restoration. I know some die hard fans of Biafra from so called South South or Niger Delta region.
Biafran freedom is a divine project and a due diligence,we can’t wait to see Biafran freedom or die for Biafra because the Nigerian Islamic government has been killing Biafrans,extra judicial killings are still going on,the Nigerian government killed Biafrans on Trump solidarity rally in port harcourt and covered the killings,go and google Biafran trump rally in port harcourt on YouTube and see for yourself,Biafran course is a due diligence or UN should risk history to repeat itself,we can’t continue to wait for this tyrant jihadists Nigerian government to kill us all,we rather fight in self determination.Free Biafra and stop media propaganda,Biafrans are Gods own people in Africa .Free Biafra and stop this jihadists Nigerian government and boko haram and also Fulani jihadists
We need independence as quickly as possible, the infiltrating of foreign mercenaries are happening every day by day. Now that Nnamdi is in the USA, a strong delegation should be sent to the Congress, the Senate and the United Nation
Biafra is the last hope of a common man in Africa.
Nnamdi Kanu is an honest man. He is incorruptible. These are some of the reasons he represents millions of us. He has led ipob to be whiter than White, where Truth and justice for all are our watchwords. Biafrans have suffered so much in Nigeria. We are peace loving people. Nigeria has denied us the peace and conducive atmosphere we so much crave for to excel. We are enterprising and hardworking. We need peace, love, justice, rule of law and due process. WE NEED BIAFRA. oh God come to our aid.
As an American who has lived under Trump’s regime for nearly four (horrible, loooooooong years), I would like to apologize to Biafra for Trump raising their hopes over something Trump likely will never do. Trump is using your leader to try and make his base of supporters seem more diverse and less racist. Trump doesn’t care about other countries; he doesn’t even care about the majority of the people in the country he is supposed to be LEADING. He makes promises and breaks promises and uses everyone.
Currently, in America, people are protesting all across our country against Trump’s regime, and one of the MAIN focuses in these protests is to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Over 90% of the black population in the United States will not vote for Trump in the 2020, because Trump and his political team do not value or care about the black population, and that population’s struggles, within Trump’s own country. One of his slogans is “America First”, he doesn’t care about using the power of the United States to help other people find freedom.
I am not saying your movement is not important, or that you don’t deserve independence. But hoping that a man like Trump, who cares about no one but his own ego and getting himself elected, will only break your heart. Here is a 2018 video of Trump and Buhari, discussing the future of Nigeria. No mention of Biafra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClkFfoCVF2k
These Biafran agitators are so ill informed it is pathetic . The vast majority of Ibo wealth is in Lagos and Abuja outside the SE. Biafra is totally landlocked. Why would the people of the Niger Delta want to be part of Biafra.
