Trinidad: It is Biafra or Nothing!

Biafra or Death. Those are the only two options available to all contemporary Biafra freedom fighters. The struggle for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra in recent times has taken an astronomical dimension. It is mainly dominated by able-bodied young men of Biafra extraction who are ever ready extricate themselves from the occupation of Biafra land by the Nigerian government, and by any means deemed possible and necessary.

Leonard Anemene is the holder of a Nigerian passport however he doesn’t recognize himself as a Nigerian. Anemene is the Rep. for the South American chapter of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and as such he identifies himself as a Biafran.

There are roughly 700 members of the IPOB in Trinidad and thousands and thousands extra worldwide, together with those in Malaysia, Greece and Austria, who’re demanding political freedom, self-determination and independence for the area previously often known as the Republic of Biafra in south-eastern Nigeria.

In latest months, 1000’s of pro-Biafra activists have led protests in Nigeria which have elevated following the arrest of the Leader of the IPOB Nnamdi Kanu in October 2015. Kanu was charged with treasonable felony; if discovered responsible, he faces a life sentence.
