Ohanaeze Youth Council Urges South-East Nigerians to Prepare for “Eventual Exit” Amid Marginalisation, Calls for Referendum in 2026 The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has urged Igbos in Nigeria’s South-East region to prepare for an “eventual exit” from the country due to decades of marginalisation, post-civil war injustices, insecurity, and perceived failures of the Nigerian state. In a New Year message, OYC President Igboayaka Igboayaka emphasized the need for Igbo people to plan politically, economically, and diplomatically for self-determination. Igboayaka cited unresolved injustices following the 1967–1970 civil war and condemned the continued detention of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu as violations of international law. He criticized Nigeria as a state overwhelmed by corruption and economic decay, urging Igbo youths to mobilize politically ahead of the 2027 elections and advocating for a referendum or plebiscite on self-determination throughout 2026. The OYC leader stressed that unity without justice is oppression and called on community leaders to collaborate in protecting lives and property while resisting any form of brutality against campaigners. : #OhanaezeYouthCouncil #IgboSelfDetermination #NigeriaPolitics #Referendum2026 #SouthEastNigeria

🕯️ IPOB Urges South-East Governors to Declare May 30 as Public Holiday to Honor Biafran Heroes The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have called on governors in Nigeria’s South-East region to officially recognize May 30 as a public holiday to commemorate Biafra Day. This date is annually observed by pro-Biafra activists to honor those who lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War.  In a statement reported by Daily Post Nigeria, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, urged South-East leaders to emulate their South-West counterparts, who successfully advocated for the recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day in honor of MKO Abiola.  “IPOB seizes this moment of reflection to urge the Governors in Biafra Land, especially the South East and South South Governors, to establish May 30th as a public holiday to commemorate the fallen heroes of Biafra moving forward,” Powerful stated.  He emphasized that the request to commemorate Biafran heroes and heroines with a public holiday is a fair one, highlighting the importance of honoring those who sacrificed their lives for the Biafran cause.  Until such recognition is granted, IPOB has designated May 30th each year as Biafra Heroes Day, to be commemorated by Biafrans both locally and internationally.  #BiafraDay #IPOB #May30 #SouthEastNigeria #PublicHoliday #BiafranHeroes
