DEBUNKING THE LIES FABRICATED TO BRING DISUNITY AMONG BIAFRANS

According to a Biafran adage; A bunch of broom is not easily broken which explains the need for unity amongst a people.
A people that is united cannot be divided by their enemies, but in the case of the people of the old eastern region of Nigeria; many propaganda have been employed to bring enemity between a people who have co-existed peacefully even before the 1914 amalgamation which gave birth to the country called Nigeria. These lies took a new dimension immediately after the Biafra/Nigeria civil war which later ended with the so-called no victor, no vanquish slogan.
This was the beginning of all manners of lies to divide and rule the people; The first step was to divide the old eastern region into south east and south south while the later was baptized to Niger delta, they went further to Igbonize Biafra to be for only the Igbo speaking people, to the point that the Biafra soldiers were presumed to have raped their mothers during the war, they told the brainwashed Niger delta people that their Igbo speaking brothers will dominated them and take over the oil resources in their land.
To put the record straight, Biafra existed before the creation of Nigeria, the clans that made up Biafra are Ibibio, Ijaw, Isoko, Idoma, igbanke, ikwerre, Izon, igbo, Igala, Effik etc These nations existed independently and experienced peace and unity together. Where did the Biafran soldiers killed their own people during the war? I can vividly recall the Asaba massacre during the war, the Odi massacre by the Obasanjo Administration when the youths of the region were clamouring for resource control, never forget the death of Ken Saro Wiwa who was championing the Ogoni land rehabilitation and was later killed by the Nigerian government.
During the war, the deputy commander of Biafra Late Philip Effiong was from the present day Akwa Ibom state and he defended the people of Biafra with the peoples general Late Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu. It is for a fact that 80% of oil blocs in the so called Niger delta region is owned and controlled by the fulani oligarchy and no person from the Igbo speaking Biafra having any oil well, this clearly shows the real people who want to take over the resources of the Niger delta people. They the northerners are desperate for the oil wells in Biafran land thats why they keep coming up with lies that we are not United.
There are empirical evidence showing the real enemies of the Niger delta people, and it is only sycophants that will believe these cheap lies and propagandas. A people who don't know there history are bound to make mistakes in the future but all credit to Prince Nnamdi kanu the director and founder of radio Biafra who through Radio Biafra London has done a great job in sensitization and education of the Biafra people through live broadcast across Biafra land, the disunity of the ages have been broken and a new alliance have been brokered among the people of the old eastern region.
The era of divide and rule is over and the proponents of these lies are no more comfortable because no one believes in crooked stories anymore, all their gimmicks and tools employed to bring disunity among Biafrans have been destroyed. Today, Biafrans are more united with a resolve to correct the mistakes of the past and ultimately restore the sovereign nation Biafra.
