Nigerian singer Kingsley Okonkwo, widely known as Kcee, has openly declared himself a “Biafran,” marking a bold personal and political statement.
Kcee explained that every Igbo person is inherently a Biafran, describing Biafra as an ethnographical region—similar to Arewa and Oduduwa—rather than a separatist identity. He made the remarks during a recent interview with Yanga 89.9 FM in 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 the name for the Igbos, and we adopted it that year. Before 1967, we were Igbos—so being Igbo today still makes you a Biafran.”
