The Biafran Intention Exposed by Ricovendetta(m): 10:14am On Oct 21, 2015
FACTS ABOUT BIAFRA!
(1) Biafran agitation has nothing to do with
HYDROCARBON/CRUDE OIL deposits in Niger Delta.
Imo, Abia, Anambra are currently oil producing
states in Nigeria with huge natural gas reserves, not
forgetting the enormous untapped coal deposits in
Enugu!
(2) Biafra is not land-locked. It has numerous
access to the sea, including through the River Niger.
(3) Biafra entire population is about 35 million
people which is greater than the population many
advanced countries in Western Europe, including
Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland,
Austria....etc
(4) Biafra does not or in any form signify war,
violence, armed struggle or any sort of physical
confrontation. BIAFRA IS NOT WAR! It simply means
political, economic and socio-cultural freedom from
a feudalist State ruled by terrorists and Jihadists.
(5) Biafra is not a call for massive exodus to Igbo
land. Put differently, every Igbo or Biafran must not
live in Biafra land. Those who wish could still
maintain their residency wherever they are as well as
own properties anywhere in the world, including
Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta…etc.
(6) Independent and sovereign Biafra will never
translate to loss or forfeiture of landed properties
of her citizens in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in
Nigeria. There are many domestic and international
treaties, conventions and laws that protects Assets of
non-citizens everywhere in the World, that will apply
appropriately.
(7) The NEW BIAFRA shall be a coalition of desirous
and
willing ethnic nationalities in defunct Eastern Nigeria
and
would never be a forceful annexation of any
unwilling
ethnic nationality within its current geo-political
definition.
Ijaws, Ogonis, Ibibio, Anangs, Efiks, Ogojas, and
host of
other ethnic NATIONALITIES shall possess the privilege
to
decide whether to tango politically with their Igbo
brethren
or go their own separate ways..
(cool Biafra is a train of peace and liberty. A desire
for liberation from institutionalised stumbling blocks
like quota system and federal character principles in
Nigeria’s quasi-unitary society. It is a movement
against internal colonialism, tribal gang-ups,
economic marginalisation and political subjugation
of Igbo and her minority neighbours.
(9) It has nothing to do with hate, bigotry or ethnic
chauvinism. Just a desire to live in a healthy society
where your tribe, tongue, religion or creed does not
define who you are or how far you would
go in your career!

Perhaps you may need to explain why they need the Niger deltans to join at all cost, rubbish!! tell us how many oil fields are there in Biafra land and what they are producing currently * Figures only**
Tell us what the SE will contribute to the Biafran alliance, outside Abia state, SE can not generate ordinary electricity and you dare call people parasites? Declare Biafra only in SE Nigeria and see whether 3/4 of Biafra will not be in Perpetual darkness.



(2) Biafra is not land-locked. It has numerous
access to the sea, including through the River Niger.

Have you seen the ecological report on the River Niger and why it can not be dredged beyond a certain limit? I don't expect a petty trader Biafran to have time to study do I?
The Niger river does not open into the Atlantic Ocean or any sea whatsoever directly, it takes a person who is Geographically deficient not to know that it formed tributaries at the brackish water region that gave birth to the delta, such tiny canal arrangement make navigation very difficult if not impossible for bigger vessels.
The reason Nnamdi Kanu got to you is because your education is at its ebb.


(3) Biafra entire population is about 35 million
people which is greater than the population many
advanced countries in Western Europe, including
Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland,
Austria....etc

It does not erode the fact that Biafrans are the most travelled people in the world after the Jews, in reality, the so called 35m people will never inhabit the Biafran landscape at the same time, they don't even have the land mass to accommodate such number even by accident, that doesn't mean much after all, they can exist as the smallest country in the world for all I care, they can as well be surviving on UN grants since their importation business can no longer thrive.
Why security pundits worry over their number is not whether they are populous enough to form a quorum but their ability to defend themselves, how many battle tested soldiers can you raise from your fictitious 35m people?
Nigeria with over 170m people cannot raise upto 150,000 battle tested soldiers, by the time Biafra is bordered in the North by a belligerent Nigerian state, in the West by the Igala tribes men (who have refused Anambra from producing decent oil by the way), in the South by Cameroon, you will understand that an Israel without the united states or a South Korea without the 7th fleet can not live to celebrate her next independence.
You may read up on South Sudan after the break away and how well they could defend themselves, You may equally educate your hollow self on the activities of SPLM, a rebel group holding the South Sudan government hostage. I forgot drop out petty traders dont read.



(4) Biafra does not or in any form signify war,
violence, armed struggle or any sort of physical
confrontation. BIAFRA IS NOT WAR! It simply means
political, economic and socio-cultural freedom from
a feudalist State ruled by terrorists and Jihadists.

Tell that to Nnamdi Kanu who ordered his IPOB minions to lynch one of Africa's most revered Pastors with occultic followership.
Tell that to NNamdi kanu who is bragging of stock piling weapons that will make BH seem like a kiddies night out, (didn't he say the zoo will burn? with what exactly? fireworks?)


(5) Biafra is not a call for massive exodus to Igbo
land. Put differently, every Igbo or Biafran must not
live in Biafra land. Those who wish could still
maintain their residency wherever they are as well as
own properties anywhere in the world, including
Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta…etc.

We care less what Biafra is agitating for and who make it up eventually, if Biafrans deserve self determination then I expect the Niger delta to enjoy such right too, I expect Igbos who care less to enjoy theirs too, haven't you noticed that the Lunatic Nnamdi Kanu is avoiding a referendum like a plague?
He was quick to tell uneducated petty traders like you that the first step to self actualization is "Radio Biafra", then turn around to tell you that UN has a charter that supports indigenous people's rights, he carefully skipped the part that the first step to sovereignty is a referendum, Sudan passed theirs and they got their independence, Scotland just failed and they were denied, palestine had theirs (the two state solution viz the camp david accord since the 70's) yet a disgruntled Nnamdi Kanu and his fellow nincompoops think that Biafra is theirs for the asking, give me a break!



(6) Independent and sovereign Biafra will never
translate to loss or forfeiture of landed properties
of her citizens in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in
Nigeria. There are many domestic and international
treaties, conventions and laws that protects Assets of
non-citizens everywhere in the World, that will apply
appropriately.

This is the latest lie that the Biafra machinists are propagating to embroil successful Igbos who care about their properties, I know you are a petty trader with little education let me do you a favour, every country has the legitimate right to determine her "citizens rights and privileges"
Even the United states before Obama barred aliens and non citizens from benefiting from Government funded health care programme.
Some countries prohibit foreigners from working.

In Nigeria, the Land use act has bestowed on the Nigerian state the right to land ownership solely, the reason you are issued a C of O (certificate of Occupancy) it means that literary you are a tenant of the Government on a 100yrs lease (the lawyers can clear this area better).

Now, the Nigerian government can reserve the right to land ownership as a "citizen's right or privilege" the moment the Nigerian senate accents to that or the supreme court rules that, automatically, all C of O's belonging to Biafrans in Nigeria becomes null and void.
1970 Abandoned property quickly comes to mind. Do you expect Nnamdi Kanu to tell you that? well, Ojukwu never told us that Nigeria will cease all our money when he started his own madness.

Lol, this is 2015 not 1967, this is no longer an era where ojukwu and his secretary will go and decide the fate of Igbos in Aburi alone, this time around it will be negotiated in clear terms,
Now, you said that the federating units of Biafra will contribute to the government at the center right?
Tell me, what will the SE contribute to Biafra? SE has one of the lowest IGR in Nigeria outside the non viable northern and some SW states, please correct me if I am wrong.
SE outside Abia state cannot generate her own electricity never mind that brainless Ngige was the Vice chairman Senate committee on Power, correct me if I am wrong, so what exactly is the SE contributing in the Biafran alliance?

Cant you see that the SE is a parasite in your proposed Biafra alliance?
I saw the touts who rallied for Biafra in portharcourt, I can authoritatively tell you that the group that plied Aba road axis are Aba drivers and keke touts from Aba evidenced from their Ngwa accent and the registration on their buses, I can also tell you that IPOB members in Portharcourt are mostly SE’s who pollute the Niger delta to create a phantasmagoria that ND is in support of the Biafran struggle.
The Rivers state Governor has spoken and I believe he has spoken the Minds of Ikwerre Phalga, I expect the Calabari, Ogoni and Okirika leadership to do the same with time the South east will get the message that they are the real parasites not Hausa-fulani.

Nigeria as a country was built on wrong foundation, even the British, US knew that Nigeria will break up one day. UK has 4 countries in it, eg Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Island, then ask yourself why they cannot be one country like Nigeria, USA has all it states operating as a semi independent country, immigration law in Texas is not the same with California, China has Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and Macau as part of China which are all semi independent, without confederation in Nigeria there will be no peace, Nigeria need to go back to Aburi peace accord, Nigeria will never be a progressive country because Nigeria is made up of irreconcilable entities that cannot align, Nigeria suppose to have 4 countries eg Arewa, Biafra, Midland, Oduduwa under confederation just like UK, China, Netherlands etc, without this Nigeria will never know peace.

Guy you are daft


Biafra can mobilize 10 million soldiers between the ages 18-30/ 18-40 for women/men respectively.


The only problem is to arm them for war


This can be overcome by arming gradually the Biafrans after their compulsory military training once they get to 18


Biafra just has to budget 2million light arms every year for every recently turned 18years citizen.

You are a flawed soul.
As at 2014, Lagos was estimated to have about 21million persons.
If Lagos can have that number in its landmass, how about the whole of Biafra? Having 35m people?

They formed militant groups to press home their demands, did you hear of any Igbo that was invited as a militant leader?
If other ethnic groups need Biafra, you dont need a radio Biafra or an Nnamdi Kanu to make that statement do you?

atbu1983:
Why South South Nations Won't Join Biafra. South South nations will rather form thier Own Confederation or seperate Nations

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to Biafra. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from Biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and Hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

As far as I am concern IGBO, YORUBA and HAUSA are all benefitting from the current system. Afterall an IGBO man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 days war.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some south south states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today edo and delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. edo and delta were first Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming edo and delta state today. some tribes speak Yoruba in edo and delta state. why is Yoruba not claiming edo and delta state the way Igbo is claiming rivers and delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?

Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some south south people that they are one of us, it is a big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and Yoruba is the problem of south south, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in Population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Sigapore. if Qatar and Sigapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like qatar and enjoy thier oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


South South is almost 3times the size of south East. Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!


If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer?

As far as I am concern, as unbrainwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout Marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbos were gaining and were in control and were happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting Marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide. However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.
This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:

"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."


I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

We don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front.
What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single country like Biafra is if Nigeria divide by War because population will be important in size of Army.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

You think UN will do it by states. UN will do it by tribe.Be rest assured that some minorities will join Biafra cool
[/s]

Cite a break away country in the world that was allowed to leave with regions or state it is not the dominant tribe.

You beta go home n ask Kanu all these questions before joining the bandwagon. Why do you think Kurds can not have their own country with close to 28 million KurdS split btw Turkey Syria Iran and Iraq borders ?

The UN as not been able to resolve that you are here talking about Biafra. This are states with over 95% Kurds talk less of Igbos that have less than 3% in Akwa Ibom Bayelsa cross rivers n co.

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:


You are a flawed soul.
As at 2014, Lagos was estimated to have about 21million persons.
If Lagos can have that number in its landmass, how about the whole of Biafra? Having 35m people?
Shame. Go back to school.
All your points were riddled with ignorant posts, backed up with no facts. Blinded by jealousy and hatred. It's over boy, cover your head.

I dont expect you to grasp the context of that post, you can focus on other areas that will not overwhelm your sensibilities, It was about defense and nothing more child!

Once Biafra leaves, the Niger Delta and Yorubas will go their way
who wants to remain in backward Nigeria with power-hungry over ambitious hausa fulanis?

FACTS ABOUT BIAFRA!
(1) Biafran agitation has nothing to do with
HYDROCARBON/CRUDE OIL deposits in Niger Delta.
Imo, Abia, Anambra are currently oil producing
states in Nigeria with huge natural gas reserves, not
forgetting the enormous untapped coal deposits in
Enugu!
(2) Biafra is not land-locked. It has numerous
access to the sea, including through the River Niger.
(3) Biafra entire population is about 35 million
people which is greater than the population many
advanced countries in Western Europe, including
Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland,
Austria....etc
(4) Biafra does not or in any form signify war,
violence, armed struggle or any sort of physical
confrontation. BIAFRA IS NOT WAR! It simply means
political, economic and socio-cultural freedom from
a feudalist State ruled by terrorists and Jihadists.
(5) Biafra is not a call for massive exodus to Igbo
land. Put differently, every Igbo or Biafran must not
live in Biafra land. Those who wish could still
maintain their residency wherever they are as well as
own properties anywhere in the world, including
Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta…etc.
(6) Independent and sovereign Biafra will never
translate to loss or forfeiture of landed properties
of her citizens in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in
Nigeria. There are many domestic and international
treaties, conventions and laws that protects Assets of
non-citizens everywhere in the World, that will apply
appropriately.
(7) The NEW BIAFRA shall be a coalition of desirous
and
willing ethnic nationalities in defunct Eastern Nigeria
and
would never be a forceful annexation of any
unwilling
ethnic nationality within its current geo-political
definition.
Ijaws, Ogonis, Ibibio, Anangs, Efiks, Ogojas, and
host of
other ethnic NATIONALITIES shall possess the privilege
to
decide whether to tango politically with their Igbo
brethren
or go their own separate ways..
(cool Biafra is a train of peace and liberty. A desire
for liberation from institutionalised stumbling blocks
like quota system and federal character principles in
Nigeria’s quasi-unitary society. It is a movement
against internal colonialism, tribal gang-ups,
economic marginalisation and political subjugation
of Igbo and her minority neighbours.
(9) It has nothing to do with hate, bigotry or ethnic
chauvinism. Just a desire to live in a healthy society
where your tribe, tongue, religion or creed does not
define who you are or how far you would
go in your career!

Guy you are daft


Biafra can mobilize 10 million soldiers between the ages 18-30/ 18-40 for women/men respectively.


The only problem is to arm them for war


This can be overcome by arming gradually the Biafrans after their compulsory military training once they get to 18


Biafra just has to budget 2million light arms every year for every recently turned 18years citizen.

The key word there is "battle tested" not how many traders in Alaba you can gather.
