A bottle of shawarma for you dear. You have a very healthy brain, and you use it well . What they fail to know is that their latter conditions will be worse than the former , I mean landlocked countries or states rarely do well, how do they plan on exporting or importing?? Unless they are greedy people who want to drag the SS along which they are already planning to do. And they fail to know that we the SS don't want Biafra. darfay: |

tonychristopher:These countries are truly landlocked but not enemylocked. Igbo sees every tribe as its enemy even there neighbours are called names, traitors etc. The creation of Biafra will turn them to friends? Prepare for war in your yet to be born Biafra. Again, I wish Biafra success. 1 Like |

Duru1:We don't believe in quotas..we believe in the merit! The first is the dissolution of states though the local govts can remain..second is the imposition of a long term ban on crude oil drilling. We'd have refineries that would refine imported crude Thirdly is the scrapping of English as lingua franca..the various ethnicities viz ijo,Igbo and Mmoño would theirs as their respective lingos which would be standardized. Igbo already has a standard version; Mmoño might adopt Efik as its standard version while Izon might go for Kalabari or the Yenegoa dialect as standard. |

tonychristopher:Mention one thread or article where a other tribes in Nigeria call Igbo their enemy or whatever is doing won't let them be. Except you Biafrans making everyone your enemies real or imaginary. I assert here and now that your are your own enemies. As a lizard in Nigeria cannot become a crocodile in America, so Igbo nation cannot change from it is now in the Republic of Biafra. There you will need people and primarily those around you. As the nation of Israel cannot sleep with two eyes closed because of their hostile neighbours, may it not be for Biafra Republic. Anyway farewell Biafra. |

ezeagu:which Stupid gang-up against GEJ, you talk of him as if he was a saint. When YarAdua died where were the Ibos, the cabal and Turai almost succeeded in covering it up till the Yorubas stepped in and insistedon the constitution even 2011 was it only the Ibos that voted GEJ? Even in Kano he had Millions of votes were they not Hausas and Fulanis who voted for him against their kin. GEJ was a total let down a big shame, people believed his no shoes story and voted for him but the clown allowed his wife run the nation like a market women association. If there is anything the Last election showed it is that the ibos are the most tribalistic and bigoted tribe in Nigeria and that is saying a lot considering we have the Hausas but even an Hausa man will still agree to the wrongs of his kinsman if given enough evidence. |

DoctorMcgruff: Nothing stops Ekoi from breaking away and forming her own country. Biafra has never been by force, it will always be by referendum. But it must be made clear for all, that the Igbo never oppressed the non Igbos in the East. There were only allegations of such oppression, but on investigation, they were all found to be false. The Igbo believes in live and let's live.

What will Ndiigbo do different in Biafra? Nothing new really, essentially the same great things we have been doing in Nigeria things like this: https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-attainment And this: https://www.nairaland.com/237534/look-going-school-nigeria-statistics Only that this time around, the rate of achieving those goals will be accelerated exponentially, once we remove the Odua-Arewa load and bitter negativity tied to our legs, as condensed by this Nigerian policy: The war aim and (final) solution properly speaking of the entire problem, is to discriminate against the Igbos and in their own interest. Such discrimination would include above all the detachment of those oil-rich territories in the Eastern Region, in addition, the Igbos' freedom of movement would be restricted, to prevent their renewed penetration into other parts, leaving any access to the sea to the Igbos, is quite out of the question, "(Federal Nigerian Minister speaking to E. C. Schwarzenback, Swiss Review of Africa, February 1968). Close your eyes and Imagine an Islam free country, a country with close to 100 % educated populace, a country whose people are united by centuries of shared culture, history geography, tradition and Religion. A country free of treacherous beings, who we already know. A country where justice and equity will reign. That country my brothers and sisters, is Biafra! 1 Like |

pazienza:Your link was quite an interesting article but then it was dated 1958. The attitude of "Igbo Invaders" during the civil war era ignite a renewed suspicion on the "expanding people" of Ibo; You have not yet won the war, yet you start claiming territories, renaming Calabar as "New Onitsha" as well as the streets in the "occupied" towns. Who knows what would have happened had they won the war? |
Re: What Igbos Would Do Differently In Republic Of Biafra by pazienza(m): 11:33am On Jul 22, 2015 |
ITbomb: Now, we have all agreed that Ndiigbo never marginalized non Igbo groups in the East in the past, ie pre 1958, despite cries of Igbo domination by non Igbo groups in the East of that era. "Eziokwu na-adaputa ka coins"- an Igbo aphorism. |
Re: What Igbos Would Do Differently In Republic Of Biafra by pazienza(m): 11:39am On Jul 22, 2015 |
Did Ndiigbo rename Calabar to New Onitsha? Available evidence says no, for below is the official list of Biafran provinces and as you can see, there is no new Onitsha province there, only Onitsha province and Calabar province. The allegation of Ndiigbo renaming Calabar to New Onitsha is yet an unfounded falsehood by our non Igbo Easterners,in this case Efiks, against Ndiigbo. I believe you lots owe Ndiigbo an apology. http://www.kwenu.com/biafra/biafra.htm Notice that Prof Eyo Bassey Ndem, was the administrator of the Calabar province. All Biafran province had native administrators, I wonder who would have renamed Calabar, under such an arrangement. |

pazienza:I would agree with you to a very large extent. Most non-Igbo groups were intimidated by the prowess of the Igobs especially in commerce and the Igbos on the other hand never hide their obvious envy of the "Oceanliners". I dont know if God played a trick on the Igbo but their greatest regret is not having direct access to the ocean. Maybe it was to teach them humility and tolerance and that is what they need to understand if they must co-exist and progress with the SS groups |

ITbomb: Now you are shifting goal post. Igboland is not, and was never landlocked. So I don't know what you are thinking of. The Igbo have no regret about our geography, Igbos envying the Ocean liners is a product of your Imagination. No such envy existed. Perhaps you need to re read this article again: 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/ It's high time you lots( Eastern minorities) stop this your complex issues before you lots enslave us all into the hands of Odua-Arewa people. Notice from that willink report, that the Northern cross River groups were scared of Ibibio-Annang-Efik domination, and would rather chose to co exist with their Afikpo neighbors. Notice that Ahoada Igbos chose to remain with the rest of Igbos in the hinterlands than share a state with western Ijaws. They feared Ijaw domination. Insecurity and inferiority complex was everywhere in the East, it made Gowon and the cunning Awo deception and lies about Igbo domination easy to sell to you lots. You guys need to get over your insecurities now! 3 Likes 1 Share |

ezeagu: First of all I appreciate your issue based response. Obviously you are one of the few cerebral "Biafrans" up here. Everything that happened to GEJ was totally his fault. In 2011 he was overwhelmingly voted for by Nigerians. The SW supported him, the only state he lost in SW was Osun with an insignificant margin. Immediately he got in to power due to his cluelessness xter (no insult) and ineffective leadership style started creating enemies for himself. Let us look at the real issue, GEJ's era was one of the worst we have had, if not the worst. The simple prayer I made for Okupe on twitter when he defended GEJ is " God will run your life the way GEJ is running Nigeria". If you will have a second thought to say amen to that prayer then it shows something is wrong. On a serious note, Politicians are the same; North, West, East and South. They are our enemies, exploiting our common opportunities to their selfish advantage. Biafra cannot be achieved without the input of Politicians from the east who are presently part of the cabal. If you don't agree to that, check out South Sudan and Montenegro; the two most recent countries to achieved sovereignty. If this Politicians will still be at the helms of affairs there will be no difference. We all need to accept the reality of the day and think of a way out. I never supported BUhari but I was vehemently against GEJ re-election due to the obvious failure and lack of content. Speaking with respect to the Ibos, you guys need to stop playing the victim game. stop using GEJ's loss as an excuse. The SS where GEJ belong to are not even crying as you Ibos are. It is so evident that the cry is because of your obvious failure in the last election. It is obvious the Ibos lost out in the last election which to me was the most intellectual game of politics ever played in this country; second only to 1979. When the Yorubas felt cheated in 1993 and even during GEJ's administration, they didn't cry for seccession, rather they went back to the drawing board on how best to get what they felt they deserve. Ibos too should take a cue from this, via political re-alignment and pull a political stunt. hausas may be the strongest due to the population power but they have always been given a run for their life by the Yorubas via unparalleled political strategy and style. because of this hausas know that they cant take Yorubas for granted and are always put in to consideration in their political strategy. Cos they know that if not, the Yorubas will always have a superior formula and strategy. Look at the facts in what I have stated, forget about the Yoruba, hausas that I have used and ask yourself if its true. 2 Likes |

Cut across SW, we provide enabling environment for labourers to trade. Determine the extent and modalities of the labourers trade. that is called WISDOM. My Guy mouth no do am, na BRAIN dey do am. If you so much believe Igbos are the best economically, why is SE no the most developed in Nigeria? Because it is filled with labourers no administrators....looooooool |

Yevgeny: Yes it does! More than anything else. That is why Nigeria can never be one or ever progress to a developed stage. If you cannot handle the truth, you cannot develop science and technology because those are fact and truth based endeavors. Haven't you ever wondered why white countries develop everything while black ones can't? It is because they tell themselves the truth always, and when someone in goverment lies, it becomes a huge deal, while in Nigeria government lying is the norm. 1+1 =2 no matter how long you refuse to accept it as true. In Nigeria, the north has about 5% education and has consistently (through the years despite millions spent trying to change this) rejected western education BUT the same north dominates political power and kills whoever tries to change it. Once in a while some guy comes to window-dress as if he is fighting corruption only for him to simply hand more power to the least educated and human resource developed region in Nigeria, hoping that somehow the blind will lead those with eyes to eldorado. It is very hard to lie to educated group of people (because they can use their brains), that is why as along as the north rules Nigeria, truth can never prevail, and darkness (Nigeria has failed to provide 24 hrs electricity for 50 years) will continue. In current SE, there is about 98% literacy; have you been to any Igbo meeting to see how difficult it is to deceive the members? The same also obtains in white countries. People ask serious questions, and you know the ONLY way to lead such people? SPEAKING THE TRUTH ALWAYS or they will lynch you! Biafra will be opposite of Nigeria fundamentally speaking. |

tonychristopher: Actually he's very correct. And its funny how utnis don't realise this and still want to make their dream work. Like people have suggested, test your Biafra from today. You call other tribes names, while you accuse them of marginalisation. Why don't you have a change of attitude and see where that takes you? Hold your Governors and other politicians accountable, cos really they won't seize to be biafrans if you get your country. They will even have a head start with enough money to throw around. With your new country needing investments in critical sectors for growth, you may lean on those guys more. So hold them accountable now! Make Biafra work now. Make biafra enticing to even non Igbo to come and stay and invest in. Make igbos living outside Biafra have the will to come home with joy! The disturbing thing for non Igbos is not your call for Biafra, (apart from the inciting words, which is rather stupid) its the absolute planlessness, associated with it. The fact that only strife or war or both will be the end of that country, if it ever exists. |
