Biafra of Spirit, EUROPEAN EXHIBITION ON BIAFRA GOING ON NOW IN FAR AWAY BRATISLAVA
WOW!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! For the first time I can believe that Buhari is in real trouble with Biafra EUROPEAN EXHIBITION ON BIAFRA GOING ON NOW IN FAR AWAY BRATISLAVA
I never believed how far Nnamdi Kanu's sermons on Radio Biafra and the work of IPOB Family Meeting worldwide are doing has gotten deep into the consciousness of Europeans and the rest of the world until I came across the news of this exhibition today.
All IPOB families in Eastern Europe should storm this exhibition with pictures and videos of those killed by Buhari for the world to know. Some Igbo Political Harlots, Buhari, Ohaneze Ndi Oshi Igbo, Igbo Governors, Yoruba Lagos-Ibadan expressway gutter media underestimated how far Nnamdi Kanu used his Radio Biafra broadcast to implant the spirit of Biafra in the consciousness of the world.
They were busy calling him a small boy but reasonable people around the world listened to the gospel he preached and wondered if he is actually an African. Now read this article, about an ongoing exhibition organised by White people in far away Europe, in Bratislava of all places and agree with me that Biafra is not only a spirit but one that is unstoppable. Quote from the exhibition organisers in Bratislava: "Despite great cultural, geographical and political differences, the struggle of the Czechoslovak people and the people of Biafra were understood by many at the time as the very same fight – a courageous struggle for independence in the face of a much stronger oppressor. In other words, both Biafra and Czechoslovakia have become symbols, the importance of which exceeded their respective borders."
Biafra is not only a metaphor for the oppressed in Nigeria and Africa, it is now acknowledged that it is for the whole world. Today is a day to be proud of IPOB. They have done the unthinkable. Don't relent, don't stop tweeting, commenting, writing articles and telling our story to the world. As you can see it works.
Biafra of Spirit
Third World Students in Czechoslovakia

Opening: 6 October 2016 at 6.00 pm

(Vienna – Bratislava – Vienna, scroll down for more info).
The phrase “Biafra of Spirit” was coined by Louis Aragon in Les Lettres Françaises during October of 1968 to refer to the effect of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, namely, the crackdown of Czechoslovak intellectuals. Perhaps today we no longer see why the name of an African secessionist state in eastern Nigeria was used to describe the crashed reformist revolution in an Eastern European country. Despite great cultural, geographical and political differences, the struggle of the Czechoslovak people and the people of Biafra were understood by many at the time as the very same fight – a courageous struggle for independence in the face of a much stronger oppressor. In other words, both Biafra and Czechoslovakia have become symbols, the importance of which exceeded their respective borders.
This exhibition project explores the neglected connection between the cultural and political renaissance in Czechoslovakia in the 1960’s and the decolonization project. The temporary residence of Third World students in Czechoslovakia serves as a lens for reviewing events that are key to our cultural identity. The exhibition showcases films, posters and photographs by Africans and Asians who studied in Czechoslovakia during 1960s and 1970s as images of internationalism and cultural exchange. It also portrays Czechoslovak art, namely the Czechoslovak New Wave, as being influenced by the presence of Third World students.
Project is realised in collaboration with tranzit.cz. This project has been supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
