A Biafran confederation of Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Igbos is a masterstroke. SE will have access to the sea through the channel that form a boundary of akwa ibom and rivers while akwa ibom and cross river get full control of their oil, meanwhile, SE will now hv a soverign govt and start mining their coal and other minerals. IPOB should start proper consultations and get the conditions sought by other ethnic groups for harmonization. 4 Likes |

Ballmer: Look, the only reason some of us even bother to respond to people like you is to correct a lie or misrepresentation. France did NOT support Biafra. She had some "sympathies", but that was it. If France indeed wanted to support Biafra, all she needed to do was to exert maximum pressure on the Camerounian president of the time (Ahmadu Ahidjo) to keep the Biafra/Cameroun borders flowing with heavy arms from Camerounian territory. Could Cameroun question her god France? The French were conflicted, so they gave even a worse support. In the situation we found ourselves, it was even better that they did not send "light arms" -some stuff that gave us the false impression of support while our enemies got heavy arms and warplanes. Biafra lost the war due to poor weapons supply. Thats all. You can choose to believe otherwise though. The main reason behind French refusal to offer full support has to do with "international order" (agreements from the Berlin conference that balkanized and shared Africa among white European countries). It is for that same reason that I hope that Nnamdi Kanu is getting support from one of the big players who can either convince the other powers to accept Biafra, or muscle her way through like some are already doing around the world. 9 Likes |

You are very stupid. Who needs Akwaibom when we already have Rivers and Delta States. If you guys like, you can join us and if you don't you can stay with Nigeria, but know this, if you fail to join us, Nigeria will finish you people. Your condition will be worse than that of Imo state who are being owed 12 months salary despite being an oil producing state. Just wait until Buhari installs an Hausa Fulani stooge in the person of Umana as your Governor, then APC will deal with you people. You think you can blackmail Biafrans, you will have yourselves to blame because Nigeria can Never allow you leave once we go without you people So keep doing African man sense, you will soon lose even that una 13% derivation. Only if you knew what Yorubas and Hausas have planned against you guys, you people will BEG to join us. ekafine: 1 Like |

The main reasons why Akwaibom can NEVER be capital are 1. They can be attacked from the Sea. 2. A Biafran Capital needs to be located in a state where the indigenes are hardcore believers in the Biafran project We don't want to site the capital of Biafran in a state that can be penetrated by saboteurs and enemies who will come in and destroy us from within. If that is too much to ask, then Akwaibom can try to secede alone and let's see how that can work out for them. They better pray that somehow they will find their own Nnamdi Kanu to help them in their selfish escapade. |

EUROBOMBER:But seriously were you expecting Ojukwu to stay and 'negotiate' And afterwards be led to the guillotine Some people reasoning sef Read up the Russo-Finnish war of 1939-1945. After leading the Finns in the resistance war against the Soviets, the President stepped down and allowed a leader who was well respected by Stalin to take over and negotiate with the Soviets. Even Yosef Stalin himself sometimes says it..that without Emil Karl von Mannerheim, Finland would've fallen under Soviet occupation . So my brother, Ojukwu did the best thing by "running" and bet me if he stayed back to negotiate and was executed later on(which am sure he'd be),the dissipated Biafran army would come back deadlier and Nigeria would've been fractured long ago. 2 Likes |

If Biafra be structured the way I personally feel and believe it would be, then no body would even want to host the capital. If we have a totally autonomous provinces each with their own provincial governor, and total resource control. I expect a total of like Six provinces, and each province should create as much administrative units as it can take care of. The central government will be led by a council of the governors of each provinces who Will rotate the leadership of the council amongst themselves in a two years tenure period, such that each province gets to have their governor lead the nation as a president at various points in time. Under such arrangement, the real power resides within the provinces and not at the centre, and the rotational principle at the centre would also be implemented at the provincial level, such that each administrative unit of any province gets a shot at leading the province. We can also run three capital cities, the executive at the Northern part of the Akwa-Cross area, the Judiciary at the Igbo region and then the Legislative arm at the Riverine areas. Each province contribute a percentage of its earning for the running of the central government. No parasitism. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

phyllosilicate:You truly have the gift of foresight! For our Mmoño brothers, the capital would've to be at either Atakpa(calabar) or ikot Abasi incase the Ogoni join us. Enugwu is the capital of Igboland and would remain so...and the coal city can't serve as the capital of both Biafra and Igboland. Moreover, siting the capital in Atakpa would help in formation of our own Mandarin, as the resident Mmoño lingo would fuse with the lingo of the settling Igbo,producing a hybrid that'd serve in no distant time as our official lingo. 1 Like |

carnegiefan: You definitely sound more intelligent than Ojukwu who does not understand the role those super powers play during conflict globally. Back to my argument I am not concerned about France giving Biafra half quarter or minimal support. All am concerned n argued about is that France supported Biafra. That you are not able to maximise that support n to later cry victim now is another topic for another day. We can argue till dusk how much support you need to win a war. There are countries that had lesser super power support and still prevailed. Vietnam Korea comes to mind. |

EUROBOMBER: It baffles me when Igbos that I know are reasonably intelligent argue foolishly. Do you expect Nigeria to facilitate the supply of weaponry to Biafra just like you also expected Nigerians to be supplying you with UN food when you are at war with it ? Maybe it's me but if am confronted with those option as the only option to win a war I won't think twice about it. When would you Igbos sit down and blame your leaders most especially Ojukwu. Why can't he secure a route via Cameroon to receive food and ammunitions ? Is that not a glaring failure of diplomacy ? Does that alone not prove or tell that you have dead brains as leaders during the conflict. Kanu is disparaging Britain at a time when the entire western world is putting up a bold front against ISIS, Russia n possibly China. Igbos will come back shortly claiming victim after beating your chest senselessly at those super powers that they are not supporting you with ammunitions. I just do not know how you intend to achieve Biafra if you can not comprehend this basics. What role does chest beating play in diplomacy please tell me ? |

@ Ekafine Your submission comes off somewhat as an emotional blackmail which I honestly doubt will work. Honestly, some of us can still see through the written words/text. @ all Why the fight? Lets' make our submissions/suggestions in the most civil manner. A lot of people get insights from what we write on this board. My suggestions: I will like us to focus the new Biafra only on the willing sections preferably all Igbo areas in SE & parts of Benue & SS; for non-Igbo areas - if Cross River, Akwa-Ibom & (maybe parts of Rivers States) are willing to join the new Biafra, then, lets consider the possibility of creating a new Federal Capital at the intersection between Umuahia/Ikot Ekpene/Calabar (we can cave out these area as the new FCT and settle the people there for their lands and then neutralize these area for all the people/nations of Biafra to have as our home/FCT. |
