Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a Nigerian Biafra political activist, and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group canvassing for the secession and sovereignty of Eastern Nigeria, has released a fresh flag design for the hoped-for Biafra nation.
Afriupdate reports that Nnamdi Kanu unveiled the new flag design via social media posts on Tuesday morning describing it as “beautiful and thought-provoking”.

Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a state in West Africa that existed from May 1967 to January 1970. It was made up of the states in the Eastern Region of Nigeria.
Biafra’s declaration of independence from Nigeria resulted in civil war between Biafra and Nigeria.
Flag of Biafra
The previous flag of the former Republic of Biafra consists of a horizontal tricolour of red, black, and green, charged with a golden rising sun over a golden bar.
Red represents the blood of those massacred in northern Nigeria and in the consequent Nigeria-Biafra war. Black is for mourning them and in remembrance. Green is for prosperity and the half of a yellow/golden sun stands for a glorious future. The sun has eleven rays, representing the eleven provinces of Biafra.
It was also the inspiration for the flag of the short-lived Republic of Benin (consisting of the Biafran-occupied Mid-Western region).
It was based on the pan-African flag designed by Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League.
The most noticeable fresh feature on the new Biafra flag design is the addition of the Star of David.

THE NEW DESIGN IS WONDERFUL. NNAMDI KANU, GO AHEAD. CONFEDERATION IS THE BEST. SONGHAI IS RESURRECTED. WE’RE THE CHILDREN OF ATLANTIS, AFRICA. THE KINGDOM GOVERNMENT IS HERE ALREADY. THE STAR OF DAVID IS OKAY. WE’RE THE ORIGINAL ISRAELITES. ILE-IFE IS OUR ANCESTRAL ORIGIN AND ORIGINAL HOME IN OSUN STATE.
That’s Okay.
Though the flag may seem indigenous to some people but the new design I’d more beautiful please. My humble opinion don’t misunderstand me. God bless Biafrans and Biafrans leaders all over the world in Jesus name Amen.
Why can we keep our difference & accept what is good! the new flag is better. We should recall that we were told & we believe that any thing about Biafra is Spiritual so far God has chosen Nnamdi Kanu the way of God is far away from the way of Man.Ohamadike Nnamdi Kanu move on.
A very good job by mazi nnamdi kanu
Great one.
All Hail Biafra
