Popular Nigerian actor Yul Edochie has stated that Biafra will not be achieved with the sit-at-home order by separatist groups.
He made this known in an open letter to the self-proclaimed factional leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Simon Ekpa.
He wrote, “Dear Simon Ekpa, ‘sit at home’ will not bring Biafra. Suffering your own people will not bring Biafra. Nigeria wasn’t joined by Emeka or Chioma, Nigeria was joined by the British Govt for their own personal reasons, therefore suffering your people to make a point is of no use.
“To achieve Biafra we must find peaceful & diplomatic ways to make the world hear our voice. And it starts by preaching LOVE, PEACE & UNITY amongst Ndi Igbo. Using violence on your people will only bring division. And a divided house can never achieve anything meaningful.”
