The self-proclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu may have pulled a vanishing act on everyone in the last two weeks; the real story is in how the sentiment that he inspired is still strong, buoyed by smart moves like the Radio Biafra and Biafra TV apps. YES. IPOB got digital. There are Radio Biafra and Biafra TV apps in the Google Play Store.

"I had no choice because that was where I was brought up. So, I grew up being born an Igbo man, but was reared in the North and was made financially buoyant in the South-West. "So, I have declared myself that in no way should I be found as a tribalised Nigerian. "I will remain detribalised as long as Igbo gave me parentage and childhood, as long as No
