Biafra political activist, Nnamdi Kanu says if a Biafra nation is achieved, it “will be everything Nigeria could not be as a nation”, Afriupdate reports.
Self-exiled Kanu leads the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a Biafran separatist organization in Nigeria whose main aim is to restore an independent state of Biafra in the former Eastern Region of Nigeria through an independence referendum.
According to the 53-year-old via his known Twitter handle on Wednesday, Nigeria is ‘disadvantageous’.
BIAFRA will be everything NIGERIA could not be as a nation. Except the boring cliche that ‘Nigeria is indivisible’, I challenge every proponent of #OneNigeria to point to one benefit Nigeria serves her citizens. Or give me one good reason why #Biafra should not be restored.

In an interview with popular Nigerian journalist, Dele Momodu, in October 2020, Kanu argued that bringing Nigerians together without paying attention to the core value system of the country’s ethnic groups was the bane of development and unrests in the country.
”So, these are the anomalies that Africans particularly educated Nigerians need to sit down to address.
“That’s why we have unrested development.
“That’s why nothing seems to be working because the convergence of these diverse core value system of Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo is making it impossible for Nigeria to function as a viable state,” Kanu had said.
