It
is very unlikely that there are tribes, people, nation, culture or
group whose origin and existence is never known to anyone else. Biafra
land has genuine origin and her people happily existing, peacefully
accommodating asylum seekers, hardworking and prosperous before the
invasion of British colonial masters and subsequent amalgamation of
Biafra,Arewa,and Oduduwa nations in 1914 by Fredrick Lugard.

This
years United Nations world conference on Indigenous people opened
another floor for Biafra and other indigenous people to reaffirm the UN
declaration and commitment to the concrete outcome of documents from the
plenary session. IPOB with high powered delegation asserted that the
human rights of the indigenous people of Biafra has been trampled upon
in Nigeria and wondered why the world is keeping silent. Mazi Ikenna
Nwanonenyi explained that "United Nation criteria for identification of
indigenous people includes traditional lifestyle, culture and way of
life different from other segment of the national population, Biafra
has well define social organization, political institution and
historical continuity" The effort to restore Biafra is to safeguard our
people, institution, properties, environment and culture of our people.
IPOB
delegates regretted the incessant killings, kidnapping, arrests and
incarceration of IPOB members in Nigeria. Mazi Ikenna Nwanonenyi said
