Hehehe! You have to be very afraid as ibos if all the posts here are something to go by. The only person taking on about 20 of you ibos here as a northerner has told you they are coming to level your land to get to the SS and you are here directing them to the SW as if they need a war manual from you. Keep driving away flies while being maul by a lion. Your people have used all your energy on chest beating and nothing left for war, well what do I expect from people who wanted their enemies to feed them during the previous war. I hope you guys know war doesn't come with manual. You ibos are still our worst enemy. Ahuitzotl: In the event of War the middle belt will try to stay neutral although we cannot say for kogi and kwara who most likely will anticipate an annexation by the North with little or no resistance from the south west.All developing countries need the coast to thrive therefore the north will be faced with an invasion of the south west, using the Illorin axis as a staging area or FOB,with excellent intelligience reports from the muslims amongst the yorubars, the North should make quick work of securing Lagos....This will relieve tensions in the Benue in the long run as the north occupies the south west thus will have no impetus for invading Benue or South East..The main 'christian' yorobar force will be reduced to harrassing guerrilla strikes staged across the border from the Cotonou-Portonovo axis..In order to secure their gains and their eastern flank the North will seek a mutual detente with the igbos thus reducing the war to one front in the west coast. 5 Likes |

Francis5: On the contrary, I'm only trying to put the truth to you lot without sentiments, a war between the north and the south west will take a long toll, over stretching both armies and both these regions are aware of that, hence they thread carefully. On the other hand, a war between any of these two and the east(without the east making alliances) will spell doom for the east!! You can all beat your chest, but you can't change the sitting duck geographical location of the east!! 3 Likes |

torkaka: That sitting duck gave Nigeria with all her powerful Russian, British, Egyptian, and Arab allies 3 gruesome years to defeat. Add to the mix middle belt , south west, riverine south south and yet the sitting duck lost 30000 soldiers while Nigeria with 7 times Biafra's resources lost 50000 soldiers. Do the math and tell me what will happen to the core north when they come alone. East went through genocide and no one paid for it. If your people want to pay for it then I urge them to open a front against 'the sitting duck.' It will be east fighting with eastern resources and core north with arewa resources. What a great show that'll be. No more one Nigeria to the rescue. 9 Likes |

torkaka:This guy is so dense! Can U imagine? The Northern onslaught U're rambling about, how will it be financed? The north has no resources, no kobo to finance any warfare! The North currently lives off resources coming out of the S.E and the S.S... Like U rightly pointed out, this isn't 1967. The tables have turned and times have changed. Do not expect any assistance from the British and Russia. There is no Soviet Union anymore. Interests have changed, so have alliances. The North has absolutely nothing to bring to the table for any foreign interests. How the hell would they survive? How the hell would they acquire weapons? U think Western nations dole out their machinery for free? My friend face reality. In the event of a break out of war in Nigeria, the North is doomed. Last bullet... Why do U think the North would be the aggressor and not the other way round? For Ur information, the Igbo nation is very aggrieved and patiently seeking for vengeance. Just don't pray for escalation of hostlities. The blood of over 3million Biafrans MUST be avenged. This is not 1967! 7 Likes |

Why was Hitler scared to invade Switzerland but bold to attack Russia and Britain.? What happened to almighty US in Vietnam and Russia in Afghanistan.? Why can't giant India overrun Pakistan.? What happened to China in Vietnam.? Guy stop thinking that huge large area of land will help you in a conventional war It do help in guerrilla warfare but never conventional warfare I repeat If every Igbo is armed both old and young male and female just like Switzerland We will have few places to guard and more troops to guard them 300 Spartans would be replayed on our boundary or Better still imagine 30 000 Spartans on that narrow strip of land. 3 Likes |

I think you are wrong Arewa military planners know that Yorubas will do everything to avoid war out of cowardice What Arewa will do is to threatened them to allow passage of weapons to the North. Yorubas sensing that Arewa might invade them and not expecting the Igbos to help them, will concede to Arewa demands by secretly allowing weapons through Odua to avoid the wrath of the Igbos and to appease the Arewas. So brother Christian North will be the battle ground and Igbos and ND will support the MB in keeping the war far North as possible. 3 Likes |

fx45: The question is, will western nations risk another war involvement and provide military support or equipment because of oil? The answer, no! Their recent involvements in countries like libya, iraq, syria and co has back fired! Besides, western nations have been awoken by the daily display of russian high handedness and the uncomfortable silence of china in world matters, and are no longer willing to task their purse doing global policeman. On the other hand, will the arab/persian world covertly support a northern army? The answer (if you are sincere with yourself) is clear. The next question, what is the amount/quantity of nigerian military hardware in the 5 eastern states right now as compared with that in the north? That answer should also be clear to you (and please don't bring in some fantasy belief of eastern stockpile). What is he status of aerial power in the 5 eastern states? Where is Nigeria's armoury? Surely you don't need a prof to tell you that in the event of a break, the north will be the aggressor. My advice to you and your lot, weigh your war success on the armoury you have now and not on the armoury you hope to buy! The maghreb region at the moment is filled with sophiscated arms that left Libya's war houses! 1 Like |

Sloan: A thread like this can only be started by the insecure people of the SE. Funny enough, they forget they will lose the most in any war / breakup situation! I wonder why SpikeC is saying Yorubas are the ones that can break the country up, and I ask why? The Yorubas will be more than glad to have our own country, and send out all the aliens but right now, a looney from the SS, Ebeledumb Jomathan is in power, what is he doing? The Yorubas are undoubtedly the most forward-thinkers in Nigeria and forward-thinkers will always tell you the correct solution, on the other hand people like Ebelechukwu Retarddenic from Ijawland is a drunkard, too dense to think even with a 1,000 advisers. The easterners are emotional creatures 100% of the time and have a wrong view of the thinking space (the world) hence they've always been wrong. The northerners have been completely sold out intellectual capacity to think for Islamic (religious) fundamentalism - they will never be able to make an objective thought about anything because for them, it is only one answer for all problems - religion!Ijjiot 5 Likes |

There is simply no way the NE/NW can defeat the SE /SS in any battle ruling out the SW and MB neutrality and a big super power like Russia, Britain, Egypt, Israel, Syria taking sides. At most the war would drag to years until a super power joins any side. Problem of the last civil war was that soviet union joined and sent military advisors and hardware, Britain joined and sent enough hardware to wipe out the population of Nigeria 3 times. The minority groups in the south joined to fight the east, the yoruba joined too to fight igbos and the MB was infact a major part of the invading army. Yet it took 30th month with heavy military casualties on the Nigerian army for Biafran defence to cave in. No other groups in Nigeria can try that for a year. When the eastern cities were destroyed the east took to the jungles but if the northern cities are destroyed where will they take to for defence . Sambisa is not a very thick forest 7 Likes |

torkaka: You think Israel will standby and watch the Arabs support Arewa to overrun Biafra. You think Israelis will not use their western connection to support Biafra Guy Study international politics well. As for armoury Do you know the greatest mistake Ojukwu made during Biafra war.? Not agreeing to exchange Biafran oil for Russian weapons. That mistake was corrected by the ND militants and won't be repeated by the Igbos. Guy Oil for weapons will play a huge role and that we won't fail. 5 Likes |

torkaka:It is quite obvious U're still living in 1967... Firstly it is oil for arms and the oil is in our control. That means resources to finance warfare. The islamists U're hoping on have yet to bat an eyelid as regards the decimation going on in Gaza(their backyard). They don't think much about U... U definitely must be on a very long thing putting all Ur hopes on them. Nigeria's armoury stockpile - Once again I'll make bold to tell U that U're still living in 1967. Things are properly evened now. Obasanjo and most recently Jonathan(thru Ihejirika) made sure the imbalance is completely corrected. U're most likely to be caught napping. Like I told U before, times and things have changed. The equation has also changed. Believe me, U'll be surprised at who the aggressors would be in the event of a break out of war 2 Likes |

EasternLeopard:[b] In other words Southwest will play the role of Belgium in the WWI but we all know how that turned out as Belgium instead became the war-theatre of two WWs,in this context,the north will be wary of leaving their most important supply route in the treachourous hands of the yorobars and so will seek to control their own destiny by taking charge of not only the route but AREAS in the perimeter of that route up to Illorin,their headquaters in the south..They will aim to secure it by seeking a mutual detente with the igbos thus isolating the yorobars from any potential assistance...The igbos will also seek to establishing bufferzones which they will control in the middle belt in that mutual detente with the North...So the North will have to choose two options 1,Sharing their rights to the middle belt with the igbos with a view of isolating and subjugating the yorobars with their rich arable land and proximity to the coast:A vital requisite for developing nations 2 Be involved with a war of attrition with the igbos on the middle belt with the precarious situation having their most vital supply route via Southwest in no man's land.....And also prone to commando attacks from the igbos via the mid west corridor... Which would you choose?[/b] |
