Reminder of the Biafra mission in one sentence as 2018 dawns!

Biafra freedom movement prevails: to teach basic lessons on competence, to overcome challenges, to exercise transformative initiatives, to affirm life, African life, as sacrosanct particularly given 51 years of Hausa-Fulani/islamist-controlled genocidst Nigeria’s programmed savagery to destroy the lives of 50 million Igbo people.
