How is this claim possible? Why would Nigerian police and other security services killed our people for celebrating Donald Trump victory in Pot-Harcount? So the police and the army will just gunned down our fellow citizens that are peacefully rejoicing with president Trump of the United States on his inauguration day?. This is unbelievable, and I urge naijagists to investigate the truth of this matter and let us know what asually happened. Being a pro-Biafria is not a crime as long as they are peaceful in the manner and way to coordinate and organize themselves. No peaceful and innocent Nigerian should be killed bthrough police brutality and because of his or her law association to a group or faith

When you kill innocent people that bears no arm on the streets and quelling the peaceful dissent with the use of force in an attempt to discourage them, you rather make them see reasons why they should continue to justify their believe and vigorously work towards their goal of independent from Nigeria. The federal government must know that in the eyes of the world their are consequences to such repression and oppression of an ethnic group seeking a common goal. The nigerian forces have never fired a shot in confrontation with the more dreaded wanderers and terrorists group- the fulani herdsmen who often visibly wield their AK 47s in the public ready to cause mayhem, but the weak Nigerian forces are always very fast to pull the trigger against the peaceful Biafran people. The government of Buhari is directly inviting a massive chaos and rebellion in the eastern part of the country that may quickly spread like a wide fire into other region with the potential of given birth to various armed groups which in turn,would pose a significant threat to Nigerian people in general and to the oneness of the country. Unfortunately, the consequences of the federal Government action against the innocent igbo people may be hard to contain when the time comes.

IT IS very condemnable the fact that the Nigeria’s military have continued to flout human right laws when it has to do with pro Biafra protests. Where they show their full power is when the target is unarmed. Every right-thinker should not lend his support to the inhumane and lawless manner in which the Nigerian govt has repeatedly tried to subdue this people. By now, Nigeria should have known that the protesters are resolute about their demands. Kill them today, they remobilize the very following day. That is the spirit rooted deep in the heart, which can never distill out no matter what PMB does.

THIS IS THE kind of indiscriminate and lawless killings that we always witness in this country at the end of which nothing tangible would be done about it.
THE MORE THEY kill our people over heated hatred about the struggles for Biafra Republic, the more we develop irresitable desires to realizing our dreams.
GOD IS ON the Throne.
Long live Biafra Rep.
RIP to the Dead.
