‘I am a Biafran’ – Singer Kcee declares

Nigerian singer Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, has declared himself as a “Biafran.”

He argued that every Igbo person is a Biafran, claiming that Biafra is an ethnographical region like Arewa and Oduduwa, and not a separatist identity.

Kcee spoke in a recent interview with Yanga 89.9 FM, Lagos.

“As far as I am concerned, every Igbo man under the sun today is a Biafran. I am a Biafran. I am an Igbo man and Biafra is where we are from. It is just like the Arewas and Oduduwas,” the singer expressed.

He added, “Biafra was created in 1967. Frank Opigo from Bayelsa suggested that name for the Igbos and we adopted it in 1967. Before 1967, who are we? Igbos. Being Igbo means you are still a Biafran.”
