Biafra And The Ibibio Question: My Position by Nobody: 4:14pm On Jul 03, 2015
Biafra is not forcing any body.
Biafra should not and must not force any nation to join her.

If the Ibibio nation do not want to be part of Biafra, then we should move on without them.

I a die hard Biafran. However, if any nation like the Ibibios will be forced into Biafra which they dont want, then the foundation of Biafra will be fraudulent. And some of us will do all we can to stand against Biafra on that one.
The best we can do is to educate and persuade, but to force and intimate like we have it in Nigeria is out of the question.

We want a great nation with a great foundation.

We cannot create another Nigeria and call it Biafra.

just like some people created something worse than the PDP and called it APC.

Every nation in Biafra must be allowed to make their choice.
The people must be allowed to decide what they want.

If the leaders of Biafra start intimidating any minority nation, then some of us will lead the Opposition against such leaders.
it is as simple as that.

Cheers to all.

Op the igbos and the ibibios fought and died side by side in the 67 civil war. As such nobody is forcing anybody to join another cos they are blood relations... Biafra is bigger than both of these tribes...

God forbid. No forced co existence in Biafra. No group is that indispensable.

Seek for biafra for ibos alone and see it done fast. No minority tribe will foolishly follow you and get killed a second time in a silly war.

A Biafran Answers To The Arguments Against Independence Of The Biafran People

Intro:
So much have been said, emotions have ran an high and venoms have been poured over Biafra.
Some people are so much against the idea of the Biafran State and they have several reasons for that.
While this will not be exhausted here, an attempt will be made to address some of points raised.


1. Biafra will we landlocked:
There is an argument that Biafra will be landlocked.
This mean we wont have a sea port or water ways and that will hamper business for the Biafrans.

First and fore most, Biafra wont be the only landlocked country in the world.
There are so many of others.

Yet, even if Biafra were to the only landlocked country in the whole world, the indomitable Biafran spirit is capable of breaking the records.
Whenever there is a will, there is a way.

On the other hand, the Biafran nation will be the commercial nerve centre of Africa. Neighboring countries even Nigeria will benefit from Biafra. There are some imports entering Nigeria via Benin Republic.So we can import through neighboring countries.



2. Biafra Cannot Survive Without Oil:
I don't know were people are getting this idea from.
The economy of the Biafrans is not dependent on oil.
Even the little oil we have is not under our custody.
In Nigeria, a man from Kano may own oil well in Imo State, while the Imo man will go to Abuja to beg for peanuts.
Anyway, without oil, the Indomitable Biafran spirit inspires to us to be creative and productive.
Once we have breath, we think, we create and we produce results.
Israel does not have oil yet they are self sufficient.

When there is a will, there is always a way.
By the way, is it pity or care or what?
Those with this argument should stop bothering themselves.

3. Biafra Wants To Annex Niger Delta And Oppress Them:
The first Biafran attempt included the whole of the old Eastern Region by fiat.
The New Biafra is not by fiat.
The Five Core Igbo States form the heart of the New Biafran State.
We are not seeking to harass, intimate or force anybody to join us.

On the other hand, those who say no part of the South South should be part of Biafra are just displaying their ignorance.

First, the Igbo man that led the so called "Igbo Coup" of 1966, was from Delta State in the South South.
Secondly, there are many of our kith and kin in Delta, Rivers and even Akwa Ibom that are also rooting from Biafra.
As much we are not forcing anybody to join us, Nigeria should also not force anybody not to join us.

4. All Biafrans Will Be Ejected From Nigeria.
As much as every nation has the right to decide how they want to relate with neighboring countries.
Well, at one point, Nigeria carried out operation "Ghana Must Go" and Ghane left Nigeria.
Today, there are Ghanians living in Nigeria and Nigerians living in Ghana.

Well recently, South Africa carried out "Operation Kill All Foreigners".
If Nigeria want to target Biafrans for the second phase of Genocide, they can attempt.
However, let every one who seek to kill know that those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.
What turns around turns around.
You can not give life, so don't take a life.

On the other hand, if Nigerians puts out a decree for all Biafrans to leave, it is wont be a new thing.
Ghanians went home and survived. So, we can always survive.


5. Biafrans Will Loose All Their Properties And Investments:
Perhaps, because Biafrans will be ejected from Nigeria, their properties and investments will be confiscated.

Nations had got independence from other nations, at no point were their investments seized.
However, from the experience of 1966, when our people were killed, pursued and killed further and their properties confiscated., we are already preempting Nigeria. Efforts are on top gear to make sure the fruits of our sweats are secured.

Yet, even if for any reason, we loose our investments, we shall surely bounce back.
We bounced back after the genocide and the robbery.

After all, it wont be worse than 1996, when we lost not only investments, we lost our lives.
When there is life, there is hope,


6. The Genocide Of 1966, Will Be Repeated
So many Nigerians equate our quest for Biafra to war and slaughter.
They glory and chest beat themselves on the genocide carried out in 1966.

First, Nigerians must know that we are not seeking to occupy any lands that is not our own.
We are only asking for the right to govern ourselves and live the way we want.
Declaring war on Biafra a second time will have grave consequences.
This is not 1966.

Yet, Nigeria must know that we are not savages. We are not blood thirsty nether are we war mongers.
While Jiharidsts and their herdsmen counterparts are committing all manner of atrocities and cleansing of certain Nationalities in Nigeria, Nigerians are not pouring the same venoms they pour on Biafrans. Biafrans are not attacking any Nigerians communities. We are not killing anybody either for ethnicity or religion.
Yet, they accuse us of being the problems of Nigeria.

And even when we have accepted that we are the problem of Nigeria and are ready to leave Nigeria, they threaten us with war.
We are not afraid of death.
I will gladly lay down my life and die the noble death of defending my nation than to live like as a slave in fathers land.

Finally Nigeria is a country created by slave traders who trampled on our rights, seized our lands and ruined our lives.
Biafrans are fully protected under the UN chatter on the rights of Indigenous People for Self Determination.

At moment, we are in court with Nigeria at an Owerri High court.
We already know Nigeria will throw it out.
When that is done, we shall appeal to a higher court.
The goal is ecowas court and then the world court.
We are educating our people, we shall push Nigeria for a referendum.

The sooner Nigeria start adjusting their minds to exist side by side with Biafra, the better.

Long Live Biafra.

WE had a system of government before the slave masters came to turn our lives upside down.
We had leaders who were respected.

We are ruled by representatives of families, villages and towns.
They were not chosen, not pointed nor elected.
The eldest from each family is automatically the representative of that family.

Some of you dont understand the proper interpretation of "Igbo have no kings".

"It means one man cannot lord it over us".

We are not waiting for Biafra to come, we have already made him know he cannot lord himself over us.
The decision of who will lead Biafra belongs to the Biafran people.
Like all men who usurp power, Nnamdi Kanu will crumble.

Mark my words.
