Latest IPOB News
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a socio-cultural organization founded in 2012 to promote the political rights of the Biafran people. It is a movement formed by Biafrans in Nigeria to protect their cultural heritage, promote the unity and development of their region and agitate the recognition of the sovereignty of their nation, the Republic of Biafra. IPOB News has become headlines worldwide, as the members of this organization continue to fight for their cause.
History of IPOB
The organization campaigns for the rights of the people of Biafra and for the restoration of the nation as an independent state. After the outbreak of the Nigerian Civil War, the Biafran Nation was proclaimed by the military leadership of the former Eastern Region. Despite a three-year military struggle, the nation was eventually dissolved in 1970, following a military victory of the Nigerian government.
As a result of their failure to achieve independence through military struggle, the Biafran people have resorted to other means, notably IPOB, to fight for their nation’s sovereignty. IPOB has gained considerable traction among the people of Biafra, having grown to become the most popular independence movement in West Africa.

This call has been backed by prominent leaders and activists, including Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Obiageli Ezekwesili.
Furthermore, IPOB has been responsible for organizing rallies and protests throughout Nigeria and abroad in support of their cause. Thousands of people have marched in the streets of Lagos and Abuja in support of Kanu and the right of the Biafran people to self-determination.
