How can we go about this emancipation? Who and who will make noise about it?

The media are in the hands of the so called oppressors cos of alliance with SW the real owners of Nigerian media industry.Our people are not in that media business. That is why i say that even if Buhari perfoms poorly, he'll still win in 2019 elecrions because people's view are shaped by what we see and hear = media.

Except the alliance is broken, every contrary voice will be suppressed.
Enlightenment! Awareness! You and I! Do not feel discouraged, that's their game plan....to shut you up.

They may control most of the media, but truth is no force can stop an idea whose time has come. The people must be adequately informed and play active part in disseminating this information. No matter how they try to use the biased media to suppress the truth, we must rise to the occasion and thwart their lies and propaganda.

Thank god we have moved away from from he traditional radio and TV media, now news items from the on-line sources travel more than the speed of light.

You are intelligent.
This was the same media they used to their advantage during GEJ's tenure, broadcasting only the negative things and ignoring the achievements. Those who were responsible for broadcasting his achievements betrayed him. The masses were riled up and voted based on the daily negative media reports.

It was all a set up. Now I just watch as the drama unfolds.

"God will intervene" and this contraption is going to dogs, millions are suffering and in bondage of 'One Nigeria'.

Not for me and fellow Biafrans, this time, we will fight for our freedom, ourselves, shed blood and I will happily lay my life for my freedom when we march, great revolution unheard of will hit this zoo, when we are done, the stupid set of people will have no one to listen to them.

The ND struggle is actually not same with boko haram so don't even try to compare dem. Boko haram move door to door n kill innocent people, Niger delta militants are fighting for the injustice been dished out on dem by the Nigerian federal government.

^^^^
You do have a point...the agitation by ND militants and Boko Haram have different goals. But the methods are the same - sowing terror.

It is fashionable these days to forget that thousands of ordinary Nigerians (who had nothing to do with government or militants) also died as 'collateral damage' in the ND 'struggle'. These causalties are casually dismissed as unimportant or irrelevant. undecided Today, Rivers State and other SS states are firmly in the grip of serving and ex-militants who are running riot in the streets - robbing, maiming and looting. Was this what the 'struggle' was all about? undecided


One thing I will concede though...the abysmal failure of successive federal governments gave rise to the conditions that birthed ND groups. But is the ND better off today?


Anyway - this thread is largely about the attempt by Uwais and his group to legitimize Boko Haram. It is up to Nigerians to react to this.

only a very blatant fool compares boko haram with Niger delta militancy.

D militants fought for the right to their lands n boko haram fought for Getting an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, they moved house to house n killed people anyhow just like ISIS. they are nothing like militants.

And secondly thousands have not died because of militancy, don't go around talking about things u don't know. jealous fool.

In the breadth of a post or two you have branded me a blatant, jealous fool (whatever that means).

Debate like an adult and leave out the name calling. I stand by my comments and i expect you to refute them with facts. Not this emotional, hormone driven response.

Northeastern Nigeria has paid a heavy price for decades of indifference by Northern Nigeria to violence by Islamic fundamentalists - an indifference that arose because the violence of those years was targeted at outsiders. It has taken the death of thousands for the locals and ordinary muslims to realise that evil eventually consumes those who stand by and do nothing because someone else is in the firing line. Sure - the primary failure in this boko nonsense is government - but local communities must ask themselves some hard questions when all this is over.

I will repeat my earlier comments about the ND 'struggle': Are things better today? Men, women and children died so that 'militants' could get amnesty indefinitely? undecided

Answer those questions if you can - in a civil manner.

The northern part of Nigeria just want everything to themselves. What happened to accountability and taking responsibility for your actions?
Why should the southern region sacrifice more funds to the NE, just because they couldn't tame their brothers and also help their exaggerated population?
I find it really disturbing a governor can plead amnesty for a notorious group such as Boko haram.
I am beginning to understand the reasoning behind lower Niger movements. In light of all these, it is now obvious the northen people now lives in a bubble and are just happy to milk this marriage of convenience called Nigeria.
Even without lower Niger or southern region formation, the SW, SE, SS will still be better off each on their own.

Edit: I am as progressive and liberal as they come, but this is unacceptable.

In Unity School entrance exams,

A child scored 69% and was denied admission because he is from Anambra,
Another child scored 1% and was given the same admission because he is from Yobe.

When I protested, I was called names.

They will stop the Presidential Scholarship initiated by Jonathan.
Do you know even Bayelsa did not get a slot?
The successful candidates were mostly from the South West.

If they don't stop the scheme, then the scheme will include scholarship for Sharia and Islamic studies.

And we are saying, we want Biafra!!!!

Unless President Mohammed Buhari implements the agreements of Nigerians at the CONFAB, there will be crisis in Nigeria.

Buhari has said he will dump the CONFAB agreements into the dustbin.

As for me and my own corner of Nigeria, CONFAB approved a 50% derivation principle.What needs to happen now is a guerrilla warfare against oil pipelines, installations and personnel until the agreement is implemented.
