It would appear it was destined to be and will be.

I figure the bulk of Igbos don't believe the past war is the reason they should turn back to Biafra. However, there are two key motions in play, which in my opinion, makes Biafra only a matter of time.

The first of it is that there is a sense of marginalization amongst Igbos. When they look at themselves and how far they have gone from zero to hero in their individual and communual endeavours, very few will be pleased with how the government, with all the resources at their disposal is handling things. Uneasy lies the head that wears the cap, they say, but many Igbos have put the cap on their heads, dealt with it all through the finish line and handed the mantle to the next in line without breaking pace. Igbos are not impressed with the poor job Nigeria is doing. It's not hard to see why.

The second motion is 'The Dare'. If there is anything Igbos get morivated by; it's a dare. A dare is like a challenge that must be risen up to if one is worth his onions. The pride of the average igbo man is 'Ekwueme'. In the present Nigeria, they are beinh dared to follow through with Biafra. They are beinh dared by the authority and citizens alike. While they may have patience with the first motion, this is likely to speeden up the actualization of Biafra, even if it involves becoming primal. I believed the government should take a cue from the past Lagos elections where the igbos along with their South South brothers almost swung the politics of Lagos towards PDP simply because a lagoon threat by a sitting Oba went round. That was the dare. The close battle at the polls was the result.

In as much as I agree with someone of your valid point, but then "A Supposed Biafran" was at the helm of affairs for 6 years and still he couldn't change the course as to what the bolded text specified, and don't you think it'll still be the same story when this said independence is granted?

I've been through this Section Politics over and over again, and all through I've not seen any one give a rational reason why they don't want the Nation Biafra to come..

Now don't get me wrong I'm not trying to campaign for that, I'm only concerned not even a single person has come out to give a Reasonable Reason why these people shouldn't be granted independence..

I for one has neither supported not criticised the call for the said Nation, that's because most people criticising the call don't actually give a tangible reason for that, they just go on insulting the people without necessarily giving a candid reason why Biafra should not be..

Now I'm a neutral person, I've heard lots of them speak to me and I could to some extent understand the call, tho I'm not so much in support of the way they're going about it.. But then I'll want someone from the other end to please give me a tangible / sensible reason why they should not be allowed / granted independence.

I know we've got learned Nigerian and 'Biafrans' in this forum and pleased let's be matured about this.. This is not an avenue for social, Ethnic and political war..

Pardon me if you find any error in my English, I'll try to correct them when possible.. but then let's have a sane conversation

BiafraudExposed:



That means u don't follow my profile... I give countless reasons...
Igbo's love money. check my last post video to see Oyigbo market. Still busy...

I have a video my mom was charged 25k for tinted permit by a fellow Igbo man...

2. Autocratic rule check my prt2
3. Christianity destruction check my prt1
4. Stealing contributions. If Biafra comes it will even be the worse because the cownu himself has nothing to show for the contributions... Till now.
5. Eco centric... Kanu said on my part 2 so clear that he doesn't deal with people who are poor..
Guess his reason that they can't pay his hotel bills and flight so what is the use...

If I lie in any of my claim let me die. And if u don't believe go to YouTube search my name watch my part 1 and 2 and u will find those audios...

Biafra is rudderless I must speak the truth

For your information:

Nnamdi Kanu has been there since 2009. He was a very Harsh critic of GEJ. It is on record. But GEJ was smart enough to leave him alone. But Buhari on the other hand justified everything Nnamdi Kanu has been saying by making the 97% vs 5% comment after the election. Nnamdi kanu smartly capitalized on it as evidence of whats to come for Igbos. Frankly speaking, he was right.

247Potential:


Yes. I for one have a little reservation about this Biafra agitation. for the sole reason that There's still a lot more to be done after its actualization which requires the purast of intentions and all hands on deck. I have doubts if the Igbos can collectively render this service at their own personal sacrifice. But then, the dare may drive it all the way home. It's an experiment. The outcome is still negligible.

However, the advantage which may take care of this problem is that the government will be closer to home, and not be run from Abuja. The smaller the problem, the easier it would be to handle. That's why True Federalism remains a much better alternative or an option to reduce agitations for Biafra. Give States power to run themselves and collect a realistic % from them monthly or quarterly and the level of corruption will drop drastically.

Xtopher123:


Lets assume the president's statement was an oversight, but then Independence day is close by and the same People who claimed to be offended by such Statement would come out to support and pledge..

Is that not hypocrisy?

Xtopher123:


Yeah the call for true federalism I support, also I share with your fears of having such a huge experiment - let's take a cue from Nigeria, we've had Independence (literally) for over 50yrs and still yet we've not learnt to manage our Resources, how sure are we that such wouldn't be the case if Biafra comes to be?

That will be hypocrisy indeed but what sane and rational individual will support IPOB one day and celebrate Nigerian independence on another day? Do you think supporting IPOB is something people just do for fun. It is a tough decision and anybody who has come to that point of joining the Resistance has made up their mind about Nigeria.

ekesimo:
patiently waiting for the rationales on why Biafra shouldnt be heard or let free.

Trust me *they* will not even regard the thread, but if it is any thread written against the biafrans, u will see *sensible* comments piling up and down.

Xtopher123:


Now this is the reason why I said I've not seen anyone give a Rational reason,

*That Igbos love money is not a reason why they shouldn't be granted independence, I mean who doesn't love money, except our Transportation Minister , I love money, I mean Agape love for money..

*Autocratic Rule - Countries that had such rulling system did not fail, and moreover the democracy we portray today doesn't favour the Poor masses, if such rule will the I don't have a problem with that..

*Christianity Destruction - The Igbos (Baifrans) were not originally Christians and if they decide to fall back to their origin, I don't see a wrong in that

*Whats your prove that it'll be worse, and again you did the same thing I mentioned earlier "Insult Insult and Insult"

*He has a right to his lifestyle, If he's lifestyle is not to deal with poor people that's his choice, that might even make him make all Biafrans rich so he could have a dealing with them.. #MyOpiniom tho

Please let's have a conversation devoid of Insults and Name Twisting.. Let's be reasonable..

That's the snag. Perhaps the advantage of a 'more common' interest and a smaller region would pilot the ship to its harbour. If it hasn't worked since then till now, there is no doubt that we need a ... (don't want to use the word CHANGE)

If you ignore nairaland for one day and read the Biafran charter by the Biafran government in exile, Resource control and true federalism is fully ingrained in the proposed constitution. please do your research. Each Biafran province will run their own affairs in line with the federal constitution.

Xtopher123:


A common interest? I think it's 50-50, and the only reason people would begin to consider having a sovereign state is if the government refuses to practice through federalism..

Don't you think if we channeled all the efforts used for protesting or calling for a sovereign state is used for the call of through federalism we won't achieve that?

Biafra must never come. I'm afraid that Biafra will be developed in few years if declared. They are technologically sound and we need their expertise to build Nigeria. We must all stand against biafra. We are Nigerians first before been our tribes. Lord luggard saw a potential in us before merging us together. The only way to kill biafra agitations is to keep Nnamdi kanu locked up. As for Soyinka, he is a disgrace to we yorubas. No sane yoruba man will be pro biafra. One nigeria till death do us apart
