“Most Igbos do not believe in Biafra” — Ojukwu’s brother Lotanna Ojukwu, the younger brother of the late warlord Odumegu Ojukwu, discloses that the majority of Igbos do not subscribe to the idea of Biafra. This comes following his plea to President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), stating that his release would be a solution to the heightened violence caused by the sit-at-home protests in the Southeast region. In his appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Lotanna highlighted that many Igbos engage in business activities throughout Nigeria due to their belief in the unity of the nation. His statement emphasizes that Igbos primarily seek fairness and recognition within Nigeria, rather than advocating for the establishment of Biafra as widely believed. In his words, “Most Igbos do not believe in ‘Biafra.’ What they want is an equal share and acceptance in Nigeria. If we love being by ourselves so much, why should so many Igbos live and do business all over Nigeria and Africa?”
“Asari Dokubo on a mission to grab Tompolo’s pipeline contract” ― Biafra Leader
The leader of Biafra Nations League, BnL, Princewill Chimezie Richards has accused Niger Delta leader, Asari Dokubo of plans to snatch a pipeline contract awarded to Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo. Chimezie who claimed that Asari’s main mission to Aso Villa was to beg for a contract, also accused Asari of playing double standards, adding that “he speaks from both sides of his mouth.”

He also warned President Tinubu against releasing the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, stating that releasing him is rewarding criminality and gruesome murder of innocent people. While addressing Newsmen after his meeting with Tinubu, Asari said, “Releasing Nnamdi Kanu is rewarding criminality and rewarding gruesome murder of innocent people, he should face the law for the actions and instigations he has carried out. “On security, I want to clearly say that there are full-scale wars going on in different parts of this country. In the South East, the IPOB/ESN is waging a full-scale war against the government of this country and many local governments, many communities are deserted, schools are closed, and hospitals are closed.” However, Princewill, whose group operates mainly around the Gulf of Guinea, in a statement, on Saturday said Asari never stands for anything. He said, “I know him, he never stands on anything, was it not a few days ago he was shouting that Senate President should go to the South East as if it’s of any importance to the people of the region? Now he has changed mouth that the South East got what they deserved. “His main mission to Aso Villa is to beg for a contract, and very soon Tompolo’s contract will be terminated. Let’s see if he is Tinubu’s godfather.”
