In 1969, when the world ignored the injustice meted on Biafra men and women mostly the iboes, one of Biafras foreign patriot burned himself to death to protest the silence of the world when America and the British ed forces to subdue a common enemy. In Honor of this Hero, whose death brought global empathy

That Jewish boy that gave his life to create awareness about the genocide happening in Eastern Nigeria back then.

May he continue to rest in peace.

Your memory shall live in our hearts forever brave young man. A young man who died for a people he never met for once such ion even when the world turned its eyes against genocide on biafrans. The death of this man woke up the united nations especially when pictures of malnourished kids flew around that brought attention to nigeria civil war. Unfortunately when un was to intervene was when biafra surrendered if only biafra held on for few months we would have been free i'l personally immortalise you by naming one of my child after you.

i think he is irish/american i stand to be corrected

Afonjas looking this man with incredible anger and hate...asking themselves, why would this jewish man die for Biafraa? Can a jewish man die for Oduo Republic? Let me tell you something Afonjas, before a jewish man will die for Afonjas, you will have to to drug him.

Watch and read below how Afonjas will be foaming in the mouth and searching online to because they can't believe this. Some will even resort to say it's propaganda.

He is an American but of Jewish descent hence the connect with Biafra

RIP BIAFRA!

what do you mean? The picture the op gave us is of a man who is still very much alive and his name is Joshua Waitzkin, a chess master who starred in the film "searching for Bobby Fischer."

Biafrans should take note before they embarrass themselves. This is not the first time I am seeing this false picture. I saw it in an online plier on this same nairaland.

You guys don't know the gravity of your error

He didn't actually "star" in the movie, the movie was about his childhood and someone else played his role

Take down this man's picture because You have been caught for using false information to spread false propaganda! Why are you people such liars? Or is it with lies you hope to get your banana republic?

bytemeister:

If you really know what "stupidity " means then you know, you spoke to yourself. Am sure you don't know who a Biafran is? But you got to know about stupidity from so many people including your parents, who have called you "stupid or fool"
