Are you surprised which is why I rarely discuss African politics. It always ends the same way.
I could have SWORN I was on the Coli and NOT Nairaland...
Read my post again my intellectual Mande cousin... I'm not talking about relocation but economics. AAs and other diasporans do NOT have to LIVE in Africa. But they may have to visit to start the connections/networks. I said before that doing business in Africa can be an alternative income for AAs and by that they can cut out Uncle Sam and possibly gain true economic liberation.
But either... There have been AAs who moved to South Africa and made it big. Of course we all seen this doc.
So @Dip comments out the Diaspora moving to South Africa is not taboo especially considering SA is a popular destination for AAs when it comes to Africa.

"In fact all across Southern Nigeria all the ethnic social groups have denounced Biafra"
Asari Dokubo is an Ijaw leader
"Plus notable Persons of the igbo extract that happened to be alive during the first civil war have already condemned calls for Biafra after witnessing the death of millions of their Igbo brothers and sisters for a fruitless cause."
General Achuzie who was a notable commander during the Biafran War on why he supports Biafra
"It has already been stated that the Biafra agitation along with Boko Haram are just more of the same destabilization tricks used by the West to prevent Nigeria from reaching it's potential"
Nigeria will never reach its potential. It's a Fulani cattle ranch
Asari dokubo is not an ijaw leader, he is leader of a faction of militants- and he isn't taken seriously. Outside militants. The same militants that will blow up pipeline one week than kill others the next week over land.
I don't take him seriously ever since he said that ijaws in ondo will be part of biafra.
The same ijaws in ondo that speak and bear yorubas names.
Haven't read the entire thread but here's my piece...
Exactly WHO does a nation not in America have to get permission from to self-identify?
There isn't a United States of Africa, so who are you asking?
You already have the land, just state, "We in this territory from here out are Biafra, these are our borders."

Traditional Ijaw leadership withered away during the Niger Delta insurgency. Big militants like Dokubo and Ateke Tom have the power, guns and money. That's why they interview him instead of a canoe-maker chieftain in Bayelsa.

You can’t separate by force - Ijaw leader has strong words for Biafra agitators
"On the issue of Biafra, he said those agitating today weren’t born in 1967 when the civil war took place.
Clark said to would be difficult for any group to break away from Nigeria as the country is interwoven.
Therefore you can’t separate by force, call a town hall meeting, call the Igbo leaders, call Nigerians, let us sit down and educate these boys and girls. Let them have opportunity to ask questions and let them have opportunity to listen to answers and you find out where our parents have been wrong and where they have been right way,” he said.
