Nollywood actor Francis Odega popularly known for his comic slang "Gerarra here", has allegedly declared his support for the agitation for the actualisation of Biafra.
He recently joined some of his colleagues by lending his voice to the debate about whether Biafra will be actualised or not.
However, unlike his colleagues Jeta Amata and Nkem Owoh who spoke on the agitation without clearly supporting the movement, Francis has declared his support.
According to an interview he allegedly granted to a gossip site, the actor showed his support by saying that Biafra needs to exist because of the ultimatum issued by the Arewa youths asking Igbos to leave the North by October 1.
Speaking to celebrity gossip site, Celeb Police, he said: “I don’t think Nnamdi Kanu is doing bad for himself because when one looks at it, how can some Northern youths say they don’t want us (Igbos) from their states? That means we are not welcomed. If one say ‘leave the North, quit the North’ that means such persons don’t want us and the only thing for us to do is to have our own. If someone asks me not to come to his house again, what do I do? I look for my own house. I don’t have a reason to pretend about this. If Biafra wants to come, let it come".
