Could Any Sincere Biafran Give Answer To This? by Nobody: 3:16pm On Dec 03, 2015
Let's be sincere here with ourselves, in the 16 years of PDP government in Nigeria the only position Igbos did not hold was just the presidency. We have had about five senate presidents, Deputy senate president, Deputy Speaker, the Army Chief, Immigration Boss, the Prison Boss, Central Bank Governor, Ministers in key ministries of power, finance, education, petroleum and health etc. What has Igboland got to show for these positions other than installation of one Chieftaincy title or the other? Let me ask again; as much as the majority of our complaints are genuine, are we not part of our problems?

Calm down bro. All I'm trying to say is; secession isn't the answer. 99% of problems Igbos are facing are core Igbo leaders themselves. Once a good attitude is employed, Igboland will be a haven. Why it pains me is that vulnerable people pay the price of this agitation. Its a pity.

Check the foundation of Nigeria, thats why I say that getting Igbo presidency wont change a dine, it will only give us the chance to follow the queue of failed regions after presidency...


Wanna know why South East is agitating for Biafra?


Our so called leaders are doing nothing and I mean absolutely nothing, they only go to Abuja to collect the silly allocation and with even the little they have, they go ahead and diverts it to their personal pus and live the masses in shallow mess and no one can dare protest against them...



The only reason they're afraid of Biafra like its actualization is bringing forte their death warrants is because in Biafra the masses can easily revolt against bad governance while you can't peacefully do that without getting live bullets in Nigeria so with this I tell you that every leader from south east is programmed to favour the central government not their subjects... do otherwise and have your arse to flame with falsified accusation to see to your downfall!!!

First understand the point, evenly distribution of key positions by election first and appointment for proper representation.
Check your google for pattern of distribution in the past. For example, whenever the president is from the North, the INEC boss will be from the South, vise versa.
Now what do we have;

President - North(by election)
Senate president- North( by national assembly rule)
Speaker HOR- North ( by house rule)
***SGF- North( by appointment)*** this is where the problem is. If the Igbos has missed out on Senate presidency because we do not have any APC senator from the East. Ideally, to balance the equation, l think a competent president would have used this to quell the agitation by appointing an Igbo man that commands authority to effectively control whatever might crop up like this MASSOB or IPOB.
Other appointments notwithstanding, and when we complained he said he will compensate during ministerial appointment. And by constitutional provision, ministers are one per state.

Thank you my dear for teaching the naive. Simply put, those in position in restored Biafra wont mess up cause there will be no Federal police from Abuja to protect them. Biafrans will be their police and army, and they know who is who.

Do you know that almost every structure and investment in the Southeast was bombed to stone age during the war? Do you know that the FG promised to rebuild, reconstruct and rehabilitate the region to sustain livelihood and investment? Why is it that none was implemented

Do you know the cause and why Igbo youths migrate to other regions of Nigeria in droves? There are no structures to sustain their livelihood except individual investments and projects over there in southeast.

Your definition and thoughts about the demands of Biafrans are parochial and inconsiderate. You and your ilks fight the resurgence of Biafra to avoid any form of negotiation with FG to avoid any extra budgetary advantage when of a truth the region lack every federal presence except revenue collection agencies.

Can you imagine that 98% of businesses and 95% of the investments in Southeast are owned by Southeasterners?

There are marginally no investors or infrastructure the FG can boast of hence the people needs independence. Let them govern themselves since the FG has an unwritten mandate to underdevelop their region by reaping them off through taxation and control of their resources.

Buhari collected $2,1billion to rebuild the northeast when the rehabilitation and reconstruction of bombed eastern region is still being awaited after 45 years.

Freedom is what Easterners need, freedom they will get.

Brother, I like ur reasoning here. But u equally did not realised that the Igbos also had the presidency in this 16 years because GEJ whom they claimed is a Biafran was a President for 6 years. They called GEJ their own. They renamed GEJ's name from Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to Goodluck "Ebere" Jonathan.

I will answer you sincerely. Holding positions in the zoo can never benefit Igbos.

You can put Igbos in all positions from president of the zoo to low level civil servants, it will all be zoo jobs. Infact, the zoo has not and will never benefit any tribe. Ask the north that has had power for years.

You see, the problem is not with political positions but the zoo itself. The zoo is holding back our progress.

These positions don't mean anything as long as we Igbos are still in Nigeria. Nigeria does not work as a nation. Even if you took all the top posts in Government and gave it to Igbos or any tribe in Nigeria, nothing will come of it because Nigeria simply does not work. It's not every time that big units work. Sometimes, it is much better to split the bigger unit into smaller units that might work. We have given Nigeria 55 years to work and nothing has come of it. Common sense would suggest we try something new to see if it will work. That new thing is Biafra
