Biafra youths ask Ibos to shun Independence Day celebrations

The organization urged people in the region to instead mark it as a “black day” for Biafrans.

“We have no reason to join Nigerians in celebrating independence, it's a black day for Biafrans, I wish they stop reminding us of Lugard mistakes by celebrating 1st October of every year,” said National President, Prince Chimezie Obuka.
