By Augustine Adah
Some Nigerian celebrities have one way or the other shown their participation in the struggle for the independence of Biafra. Their support comes in various forms, either by expressing hope for the actualization of the Biafran state or by calling for the release of the arrested leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who was rearrested by the Federal Government some months ago.
Among three top showbiz stars who have opened up on their support for the state of Biafra are Chiwetalu Agu, Rita Edochie and Zoro.
Chiwetalu Agu
Veteran Nollywood actor, Chiwetalu Agu in September made a bold statement after he was seen rocking a Biafran flag outfit. The Enugu-born script interpreter and producer known for his indigenous movies stunned fans by proudly donning an outfit symbolized by the Biafran flag. The 65-year-old comic actor is the first celebrity to publicly identify himself with the secessionist agitation for Biafra.
Rita Edochie
In a recent Instagram post, Rita Edochie a veteran actress laid bare the reasons for her support where she noted that the Igbos cannot be third class citizens in their own land, while urging the Nigerian government to allow the Igbo to secede.
Zoro
An indigenous rapper, Owoh Chimaobi Chrismathner commonly known as Zoro showed his support by joining his voice with that of others clamouring for the release of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Although, the rapper restrained himself from saying too much, he, however, left the authorities to their conscience endorsing his position as one of the celebrities supporting Biafra.
