By Steve Oko
The agitation for the Biafra restoration got a major boost Monday as the Israeli Chief Rabbi in Munich and Greater Bayern, Germany, hosted the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnnamdi Kanu.
Kanu who broke the news on his facebook page showered praises on the rabbi who he described as a ” dear brother and friend of Biafra” for the warm reception accorded him and his entourage.
Although the Biafran hardliner was silent on the details of his meeting with the Jewish rabbi, the accompanying photos and video showed a large crowd of Biafrans in Germany singing solidarity songs in celebration of their hero.
” My appreciation to a gracious host, dear brother and friend of Biafra, the Chief Rabbi of Munich and Greater Bayern, Shmuel Brodman for a wonderful dinner and amazing evening with the family. God bless Biafra. God bless Israel “, Kanu wrote.
Wawa News Global, however gathered that the parley was part of current global consultations and diplomatic efforts to fine-tune arrangements for the restoration of Biafra.
Giving more insight on the parley, IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful said it was part of diplomatic consultations towards the re-birth of Biafra.
Powerful said Israel and other key Biafra allies had been supportive to the struggles for the actualisation of Biafra independence.
He said that Biafra would be actualised sooner than expected, adding that more countries are now queuing behind the project.
The IPOB Spokesman in a press statement said contrary to the fears of many, Biafra would be actualised without firing a shot.

“We urge Biafrans both home and abroad to remain strong because Biafra freedom is around the corner.”
