They're more than likely talking about people of Biafran decent

2017-03-07 09:58:24 UTC  

Either brought over via the Atlantic slave trade, or immigrated to the US

2017-03-07 09:58:31 UTC  

Biafran master race?

2017-03-07 09:58:41 UTC  

In the world? No

2017-03-07 09:58:45 UTC  

In Africa? most likely

2017-03-07 09:59:15 UTC  

Well that's fair.
Wanna go form a Biafran empire?

2017-03-07 09:59:26 UTC  

>Empire

2017-03-07 09:59:29 UTC  

Nah it's a Republic

2017-03-07 09:59:36 UTC  

So was rome.

2017-03-07 09:59:41 UTC  

Biafrans aren't too Imperial

2017-03-07 10:00:10 UTC  

It was really just a merchant's trading nation, a short-lived but successful one

2017-03-07 10:00:33 UTC  

Trade economy's can be mighty fine.
I mean look at the UK.

2017-03-07 10:00:52 UTC  

Yeah exactly

2017-03-07 10:01:11 UTC  

Hence why Biafra could've been Africa's best country.

2017-03-07 10:02:12 UTC  

But yeah, Nigeria is pretty much divided, rest of the Nigerians want unity while it's mainly Biafrans that vote opposite of Nigeria's interest

2017-03-07 10:03:01 UTC  

The issue with multi-culturalism is that there's no way to make sure people will cooperate or integrate.
And then you just have an empire where the subjects can clog up the system.

Nigerian Election 2015: Red = Muslim/Hausas Green = Christian/Biafrans

2017-03-07 10:03:53 UTC  

Is it purely on religious lines or are there deeper issues at play?

2017-03-07 10:04:08 UTC  

Religious, Ethnic and Cultural.

2017-03-07 10:04:24 UTC  

I mean in politics.
What do the red and green politicians support?

2017-03-07 10:06:09 UTC  

Biafrans supported Jonathan who was part of the PDP, their main ideologies are Conservatism, Economic Liberalism (Neo Liberalism) and "Big Tent"

2017-03-07 10:06:52 UTC  

Northerners supported Buhari, of the APC, main ideologies are Social Conservatism, Islamic Law (Sharia), and "Big Tent"

2017-03-07 10:07:36 UTC  

Sounds like a partition/seperatism is probably the best option.
But I don't see nigeria allowing that.

2017-03-07 10:08:11 UTC  

Yeah, hence why they send Nigerian Military personnel to deal with Pro-Biafran advocates

2017-03-07 10:09:36 UTC  

However, Biafrans do recieve support from other countries, they look favourably on Putin, Trump, Israel and Brexit

2017-03-07 10:10:24 UTC  

And in return there are Biafrans living in the US, Europe, Eastern Asia and other places that organize groups to show support.

2017-03-07 10:10:37 UTC  

That's pretty cool.

2017-03-07 10:10:59 UTC  

Is there any real chance of Biafran independence?

2017-03-07 10:11:44 UTC  

Well one of the main nationalist movements, the IPOB have set up an organogram of how the Biafran government will function

2017-03-07 10:12:09 UTC  

Some other nationalist movements are encouraging and setting up local Biafran law enforcement, something similar to AntiCom

2017-03-07 10:12:48 UTC  

Interesting.
I suppose the Nigerian government will do whatever they can to disrupt this?

2017-03-07 10:13:07 UTC  

They will try

2017-03-07 10:13:49 UTC  

However the current president isn't at his optimal health, he's been taking a lot of sick leaves lately

2017-03-07 10:14:10 UTC  

He also has Boko Haram in the North to deal with

2017-03-07 10:14:24 UTC  

I hear they're annoying as shit.

2017-03-07 10:14:31 UTC  

As well as the Niger-Delta conflict, which could impact Oil prices

2017-03-07 10:14:44 UTC  

Yeah, Boko Haram are barbarians, essentially ISIS.

2017-03-07 10:15:08 UTC  

However it's general knowledge to Biafrans that the current president is in bed with Boko Haram

2017-03-07 10:15:33 UTC  

Islamic leaders seem to support these radical terrorist groups.

2017-03-07 10:15:55 UTC  

What evidence is there for that?

2017-03-07 10:17:29 UTC  

Islamic leaders sponsoring radical groups, or the president supporting Boko Haram?
