These kind of thread I have no reason commenting on it, as much as I want one Nigeria, if Nigeria was to break, we and Edo people can never be in the same republic, same with urhobo, Itsekiri and d rest... As fir d Biafran map it wud be modified to fit in anybody who wants to join and anybody who wants to leave is free via referendum. For those that are saying igbo's will dominate them, states wud be created and just as they have north and south there wud be up land and down land, and there wud be rotation of power between the upland and d downland so dat nobody is marginalized, not only that there wud be federal character which puts into play all d tribes in Biafra, and a confederation... each state wud be allowed to develop at its own pace and pay tax to the Centre, the capital of Biafra wud be at the Centre and it wud come from parts of all d tribes in Biafra. If d Ijaws want to form Niger delta republic we wud welcome them if the Akwa ibom/calabar people want to join either Biafra or Niger delta no problem everything wud be via referendum. Same with the igboid groups in delta and Rivers state. We wud want a nation with peace, equity, progress and unity. I still stand for One Nigeria by the way. 3 Likes |

DankemzI:NIce and intelligent write up ...Akwa ibom will never never never join Biafra .With the federal allocation states in Southeast collected what development have they implemented?A lot of noises on forming a government of Biafra but no economic plans in most of these states If you have been to Abia state you will be wondering what is happening to monthly allocations!Akwa Ibom is moving forward not backward ! 1 Like |

If either Niger delta republic or Biafra stands or in a developed Nigeria, lekki wud be child's play to what Bonny Islands and Opobo Islands wud become in Rivers state. Aba dat is already popular for production of goods though people see der products as substandard, thats the time the real quality wud be put into it, and helping Aba develop strong product brands, dat Island between Onitsha and ASABA a very powerful dam wud be mounted der for electricity. D red mud in ASABA a ceramic company wud be made der dat wud produce tiles, China plates, and cups etc... Ebonyi states wud focus on 100percent agriculture to its maximum, and it's bitumen deposits wud also be tapped to its maximum. Enugu coal and limestone wud be tapped and exploited to its maximum. All coastal states wud have a port, but to reduce traffic the states ports wud be specialized, like Rivers state port can be used for oil import and export, Akwa ibom wud be for natural gas, while since cross rivers state doesn't have oil it wud be used for the import and export of all non oil commodities. Anambra wud focus on its mechanic funds wud be allocated to them and proposals wud be written to companies in Germany, Japan the US etc to come and sight der companies der. Bayelsa it's oil pollution wud be cleaned up and respective communities compensated, then after the communities are compensated, d largest refinery in Africa wud be located in Bayelsa. To make sure nobody is cheated and left out or fragmented d Ijaws in Delta,ondo and edo state wud hold a referendum to know if they wud join the new country. So dat it won't look like Igbos are d large majority lording over all. Anybody who says who doesnt want to join won't be forced can be allowed to secede by referendum. I still stand for One Nigeria to the last part of me. 3 Likes |

Today, now, as a people what are we DOING and where are we GOING? How are we keeping our governors in check? What do we do when they marginalise other Igbos based on their state? What private institutions have we invested in or birthed in the homeland? Once we leave how many of ever come back to settle in or give back to the homeland? Where do you live? BiafranPrince: |

I wish to know what transpired in d Biafran war from families in d Southsouth dat were affected. I want to know the full details from someone who was born and was matured enough then when the war happened not someone who was maybe a kid and they were pulling him up and down and he wud say he saw d war. I want one Nigeria but the way the yorubas keep lieing up and down, saying how we igbo's want to dominate other people's land, how we want to steal anybody's oil is annoying. I believe in One Nigeria but if u people(u know urselves) keep taunting us up and down, I ve no choice dan to speak. |

DankemzI: All these false propaganda against Ndiigbo and Biafra sef, it's getting boring debunking them. There was never a time Biafra renamed or planned to rename Ikot Ekpene, I mean why should we do that, to what end? Sometimes you lots need to use your brains more. Biafra was divided into provinces, Ikot Ekpene was under Annang province, the administrator of Annang province was an Annang man named Chief Ekukinam Bassey, you believe this Annang Chief would support any attempts to rename Ikot Ekpene? Btw, I have heard the propaganda that Biafra tried to rename Calabar before, this Ikot Ekpene angle is likely an extension of that rumour mill. Again there was never a time Biafran soldiers raped people in the East, all these market women rumours is irritating me already. This is why I remain a staunch believer in Republic of Alaigbo, the negative sentiments from all these non Igbo Eastern groups towards the Igbo is just unbearable at times. Imagine this mofo taking pride in contributing to the fall of Biafra, as if his Ibiono people are better of than Ndiigbo in one Nigeria. Imagine the kind of empty made up accusations these people were levelling up against Ndiigbo before the willink commission, and yet not even one of them were found to be true by the commission. Why this Igbophobia everywhere? Onitsha traders contributed money and built street lights on onitsha streets themselves, instead of these mofos to contribute money and build one in Calabar, they refused and instead resorted to blaming the Eastern region govt of being too tribal and Igbocentric for not building street lights in Calabar, can you imagine? http://scannewsnigeria.com/news/willink-report-1958-the-following-are-excerpts-from-a-the-report-of-the-commission-appointed-to-enquire-into-the-fears-of-minorities-and-the-means-of-allaying-them-otherwise-known-a/ 4 Likes |

@op, I guess you imagine somehow Biafra is for Nigeria to grant by some benevolent stroke of pen? I can tell you the issue is that 80% of Igbos have not been convinced that Biafra is the only way.They are angry and feel frustrated with the dog eat dog mess we have in this unfortunate country called Nigeria , instead of developing the county evenly, a section believe they can turn other constituent nations into slaves or hostages of some sort in Nigeria....... BUT THEY ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED BIAFRA IS THE ANSWER. If you can somehow get an overwhelming proportion of Igbos convinced on Biafra, then you can't stop it. |

idprincess: First of all, I live in Biafraland, I have been to 3 continents because of what we do in the course of actualization of Biafra and I still prefer to live in Biafraland. Today, now, as a people what are we DOING and where are we GOING? Answer to this depends on the aspect where your question is touching How are we keeping our governors in check? To be blank and honest here, the constitution the zoo has, gives the people almost no power to put the governors we have in check, and as docile as the people have become, where we are thinking of what to make of today and how to make ends meet, people don't know the power to put everyone in check is in their hands. Nigeria fashioned itself out in a way to hold the ones in power accountable is like the hardest thing to do, and it is having effects on the mind of the people, and it extension, Biafrans. I know well enough how many times T.A Orji was stoned in Aba and Umuahia, he was pelted and satchets of pure water thrown at him, and at the approval of Abuja, he surrounded himself with Army tanks and battle-ready soldiers whenever he wants to move out, the people never failed to show their disapproval at his presence and because of the 'absolute powers' bestowed on him by the constitution, you can't do much concerning that, only thing is to hope unto the next election. Concerning the marginalization, let me tell you, people blow these things out of proportion, I have been to all parts of Biafra land, and I can tell you that we as a people, are more united than people will pull propaganda to make you believe we are not, granted there are few cases of marginalization, but what do you make of an Ilaje man and an Ijebu man having cold wars, why the hypocrisy? Those marginalization stories are seriously blown out of proportion. We are very united, believe this! About private institutions, I will go against my code of conduct and tell you one example. But before that, Biafrans are investing in the Biafraland, sometimes there are policies that are making things very hard to be achieved like that of siting private institutions. One example, it is our records, a young man who was dealing with automobiles in U.S and had friends from China and Canada who wanted to build and automobile production company in Anambra, he got a presidential order from Obasanjo who told him either he sites it in Ogun state or he should forget the idea. He tried all he could and got fed up and left, now he owns his own auto spare part production line in China, and he is part of our struggle, he dreams on investing in Biafraland. It is in our record, and the records of ministry of commerce and industry. That is the level of back-stabbing and sabotage, that makes it hard for us to invest and run private institutions in the evil entity. Also about coming back to our land to settle and giving back, Biafrans are doing the little they can, Nigeria is holding us back. And for clarity, the people at the forefront of realization and restoration of the sovereign states of Biafra are people in Diaspora, these are IPOB in over 88 countries, they fund everything, from defense fund, the funding of the labs and production centers and also to the Tens of thousands of Dollars used monthly in running Radio Biafra and all it's relay stations in Biafraland and the head station in London. These guys are at the fore front to restore Biafra, and 90% of them will come home to invest and rebuild Biafraland if Biafra is restored today, trust me on that. Let Biafra come first. |

Udmaster: South east has only five states because it is small. Only kogi state (The 13th state by size) is more than the size of all south east states put together. Niger state alone is more than twice the size of all south east state. All the south east states are among the eight smallest states in Nigeria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nigerian_states_by_area

Afam4eva: United state of America is ten times (10 times) the size of nigeria and about two times (2times) our population. united state have Just 50 states. Using United states as a standard, 36 states are already too much for Nigeria. |
Re: To Get Biafra, Forget About Biafra by Afam4eva(m): 2:15pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
atbu1983:But the US government does not share money to its federating units. The core of this discussion is the revenue sharing formula of Nigeria. In the US, every state caters for themselves and that is why Texas is the richest state as opposed to New York or Cali. |
Re: To Get Biafra, Forget About Biafra by Nobody: 2:20pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
Afam4eva: In Nigeria the sharing formula is by Population and landmass of the states. And also oil production from the states. If another state is carved out from the existing South east states as defined today, the total revenue coming to south east will be approximately the same . It is a mere redistribution of resources of a zone with itself. Except you cut part of south south states to form the state, it will amount to nothing extra it terms of federal allocation to the zone. More states only cause more divisions and dis unity. Outside that it only increase number of governors and other politians. Apart from bringing govt closer to the people in the new capital city, nothing much to gain from more states. |
Re: To Get Biafra, Forget About Biafra by Afam4eva(m): 2:23pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
atbu1983:So, can you explain why Sokoto that has been divided into about 3 states does not have the same allocation it had in the 70s. Coupled with the increase of its population. Is it that people were imported from Niger republic to fill up the new states? |

Re: To Get Biafra, Forget About Biafra by Nobody: 2:29pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
Afam4eva: To be sincere with all honesty, with the introduction of 13% derivative, the percentage of Federal allocation going to the North has dropped. Also search for 1980 federal allocation data and compare it with today data, you will discover that the percentage of federal allocation to states like sokoto, Imo that have experienced division have reduced with a factor closed to the number of states formed. Go and search for data you will see the fact. Dont just assume by what you feel or think. The real impact of more states is political influence not economical. |
