On Friday, 20th of January 2017, Biafran sympathisers from all works of life gathered in Portharcourt ( Igweocha) to felicitate with the incoming president of America, Donald J Trump. During the peaceful assembly, members of the Nigerian Security agencies who were there to forestall break down of law and order opened fire on unarmed, defenceless Biafran sympathisers.

It is a cardinal sin for an armed forces member to open fire on an unarmed person, no matter what the unarmed person is doing or saying as long as he poses no threath. Under the rules of engagement, a military personnel is not allowed to open fire on a civilian in a non combat situation unless a clear and present danger exists.

It should also be noted that Chapter 4 of the Nigerian constitution allows everyone certain "freedoms". Freedom of movement, expression and conscience.

So it doesn't matter If IPOB were celebrating the swearing in of Donald Trump or the Birthday of Mahatma Ghandi, it is their right to do so. The law also allows them "freedom of conscience" which means that they are allowed to believe in Biafra if they so wish. So when IPOB exercise the freedoms accorded to them by the Nigerian constitution and the security agents who should be upholding the law turn around to desecrate the constitution by shooting unarmed people, we should all rise and condemn it because it could any of us tomorrow. It could be any of us tomorrow out on the streets protesting, maybe not over the issue of Biafra but protesting none the less. Why should exercising our constitutional rights attract shootings from the very people who are paid to protect the populace?

Below are 3 links showing 3 youtube videos showing the way the Nigerian security agents killed and brutalised people in Portharcourt last Friday. link one shows a young man lying motionless on the ground obviously dead. It also shows an old man who badly beaten by the police recanting his experience. Link 2 shows several people in a bus with different degrees of injury, a young man had his head smashed by a Soldier. The last link is a young man wearing a blue shirt who was shot and the Biafran family writers tried to help him. IPOB has reported that not less than 15 people were killed, over 80 hospitalised for various degrees of injury and nearly 200 so far unaccounted for. Anyone with an ounce of dignity in them should feel ashamed that the giant of Africa is still a country where life means nothing.

Nigeria has printed Biafra in the heart of every one world wide. Nigeria has validated amnesty international's claim of it being a human Rights abuser and killer of Biafrans

Why declare a country in an existing independent country?
This was not how even the isrealites left Egypt!!!
Breaking away is not the solution. We need to stand together and mend this country.
I don't condone the killings but that's their job.

Nobody is ready for one Nigeria more than Igbos. Igbo want to leave Nigeria because of the inability of Nigeria to put their hypocritical one Nigeria into practice. Abolish state of origin and quota system if you want to be like America

In a democracy like ours
It is the right of citizens to protest peacefully
U cannot deny anybody otherwise it becomes an autocratic regime
The right to self determination is enshrined in the UN charter .. It is a human right
Ask yourself how many people have been shot in the US for anti Trump protests

You can use ur brain atimes before u speak.... It is a free gift from God

Yorubas were busy celebrating it like holiday
Next was Ekiti and now south kaduna

The job of the so called Nigerian army according to you is to shot an unarmed protesters

Sometimes I feel it's going to be difficult for Nigeria to get better because too many bloods have been shed in the past and it's still continuing in the present. The blood of the innocent is crying against the country.
