Every Igbo Child Knows He Is Biafran Not Nigerian – Ukot Ikonte Chimezie

Following Bashir Ahmad’s statement opposing the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, heated debates erupted online. One emotional response read, “Every unborn child of an Igbo man knows where he belongs and every child of an Igbo man knows that he/she is Biafran.” This comment strongly asserts that being Biafran is an identity passed down by birth rather than choice. While it reflects a deep sense of cultural pride and solidarity, it also intensifies the divide between pro-Biafra supporters and those advocating national unity. Such absolute declarations risk alienating voices seeking peaceful dialogue and coexistence within Nigeria.
