pazienza:

Onlytruth once said that the easiest way to know that you as an Igboman,are on a wrong path,is when you start gathering praises from those who reside after Ore border. They are already praising you,cos they can see the seed of discord you have planted among igbos with that your ignorant posts.

Nwelu ire gi guo eze gi onu!

Afam4eva:
First of all, i don't know why you're naming people from Anambra cos i never said anything about Ndi Anambra being illiterates. I only talked about Enugu town and not it's people. Was Enugu not jointly built by all Igbos with Anambra people even being at the forefront?

There's nothing wrong with calling people to sit at home to mourn Igbos that have been murdered in the North. It's a problem when people are threatened to do so. That's what happens when you have pseudo illiterates running a sensitive group as MASSOB. They should learn to employ diplomacy when doing things. There's a reason why the top echelon of the Igbo society don't associate with Biafra.

Afam4eva:
Did these people you listed live in Onitsha? Go back and read my comment and understand it.

phantom: abeg go and sit down.what did he type that some of you are screaming blue murder.we all can see why comprehension is so important in our curriculum.

ACM10:

By implication you are referring to Onitsha people in Anambra. Cos the sit-at-home directive was well-observed in Onitsha. Stop pretending!

ACM10:

Tell me how many intellectuals from Enugu that live in Enugu.

confusion247:
For the past 40 years the unwarranted killings have continued with no end in sight and you still want this country to remain in the delusion that we are one Nigeria so that more innocent people will die. Too Bad.

Abagworo:

We need to plan a good future in united Nigeria than a bad future in a disintegrated Nigeria.

Afam4eva:
I'm talking of the people based in the commercial towns of Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba and not people who are from these places. These commercial traders that i'm referring to are Igbo from all parts of Igboland, so i find it strange that you people would think i was referring to people of Anambra origin. There's no gain saying that Enugu is home to more Igbo elites than any other Igbo town, so the response in Enugu won't be as much as in the places that i mentioned previously. Other places with similar idiosyncrasies with Enugu are non-commercial towns such as Awka, Owerri, and Asaba.

Abagworo:
Going through those links you can make your deductions that it was successful in all of Southeast but not absolutely. The reports are contradictory hence we might estimate a 60 to 70% compliance. It was successful in Enugu.

gbanikiti: Seems we have to disagree for the first time. What good future are you expecting from a united Nigeria since amalgamation and what makes you think there will be a bad future if Nigeria disintergrates?

Afam4eva:
That's the truth.

There's a reason why you rarely hear of MASSOB wahala in Enugu and that's because it's the sanest city in Igboland and it probably houses the most educated.

ACM10:

It's unfortunate that you are subscribed to the age-old stereotype of traders being uneducated or semi-illiterate. Though some traders still falls in that category, but I can tell you that 50% of the traders in Onitsha are highly educated. My friend graduated with second class upper in electrical engineering, but today he is an Onitsha trader who travels to China to buys his goods. By the way, UNESCO defined literacy as ability to read and write. If we use UNESCO definition, then 98% of Onitsha traders should be classified as literate. Mind you that Onitsha is the powerhouse of Anambra education. Onitsha is the reason why Anambra is rated high in Nigeria. They continue to produce unbelievably brilliant students. Ask those that studied in UNN, FUTO, NAUTH, etc about the products of DenGram, CKC, St. Charles, QRC, etc. So, your comment that MASSOB is most active where there is preponderance of semi-illiterate population is regrettable. It should be that they are most active where you have more people with the burning desire for freedom from the cage called Nigeria.

Afam4eva:
There's a reason why i used pseudo-illiterates. I know a lot of Traders these days are graduates but it still doesn't change the mindset of a lot of them. If you steal in Onitsha market just like in Ariaria and other markets, you'll get burnt alive. That will rarely happen in a non-commercial town where you have lots of educated civil service peeps. People in Onitsha market and other markets in Nigeria, no matter how educated they are, can be irrational when they want to be. If we must fight for Biafra, it has to be in a more subtle way and not a by-fire-by-force method. We have to make MASSOB attractive so that the likes of Soludo, Akunyili, Ezekwesili, Utomi, Nwobodo etc will think of sympathizing with them. But these people associate with MASSOB cos they see them as bunch of semi-uneducated folks with a few exceptions. they'll rather roll with groups such as Ohanaeze ndigbo.

Bandit C.:


While you may, out of your own resolve, display apathy towards MASSOB'S struggle, do not ridicule their persons in such condescending manner in order to appear neutral to outsiders.

For Christ's sake, you are Igbo and should understand exactly the point they are trying to pass across. Is it now a crime to you that the dead should be honoured? Your dead Igbo brothers and sisters?

At least MASSOB is putting in work rather than sitting somewhere in Lagos or in a foreign country and ranting over the net.

While Enugu may be less inclined to indulge in rash and outspoken means of agitation like MASSOB in other states do, every Enugu resident, indigene and entire Igbo nation at large, irrespective of being educated or not, white collared or blue collared, wish and hope within their hearts for a new and better nation than what is currently obtainable called Nigeria, whatever that new nation may be called.

Respect others man, and recognise those who have staked a lot to make sure that your people are given the respect they deserve. You and many like you on this forum should not throw objectivity away and just spit nonsense just to get acknowledged by strangers who have numerous times wished you and your people genocide and unimaginable death. Ignore MASSOB but respect them, in as much as you may be tempted to believe they are fools and uneducated.

Always thought you were smarter but your comments sometimes leave me totally baffled and dumbfounded.

Smh.

Abagworo:

Someone has explained to you why we need Nigeria as much as Nigeria needs us. We need to plan a good future in united Nigeria than a bad future in a disintegrated Nigeria.

Afam4eva: Enugu is always different. If there's one thing i've noticed, it is that MASSOB seems to be dominant anywhere you have a lot of pseudo-illiterate traders.

ezeagu:

Although I support such a demonstration, I agree that MASSOB isn't the right group to handle anything, especially anything political. They have no direction and nothing but violence and confusion will come out of it unless they figure out what they want. They haven't even defined what 'Biafra' is yet and how many people within those border actually want to go with them, the economics, trade, international recognition, possible retaliation and so forth.

Ferdinandu: True to the point.It is just like the Boko Haram that is dominant where you have the highest rate of illiterate Abokis

What's your username again?

biodunid: My people keep forgetting that Biafra possesses only 3% of naija land mass but maybe 20% of the population and that this the real reason they are all over the place - not because they love other lands or are more adventurous but sheer necessity. Upshot is that Biafra needs Nigeria more than Nigeria needs Biafra. As for the Igbo / Ijaw alliance, we all know how that will end. Attached is a break down of land mass for the various regions. Things are so bad that you can fit the whole of Biafra into old Oyo, Bendel or even current Benue. BTW naija itself is already five times as densely populated as the US - half the population on 10% of the land. We should be thinking of how to bring about the United States of west Africa with nine times our current land mass and only 180% of our population to provide lebenstraum for us and not this braindead fixation with a solution that did not work 40 years ago and won't work today. My people should study these numbers and understand their import before Uwazurike causes them to make the most regrettable decision. As for relations between Biafra and rump Nigeria if a break up ever happens, I ask you to cast your gaze on the two Sudans or the two Koreas even after over 60 years.
