ItsTutsi: Biafrans do not recognise anything called SE/SS and neither does the constitution of Nigeria. What Biafrans recognise are tribes or ethnic nationalities, Ijaw, Ogoni,Efik,Igbo, Ibibio etc. All these tribes are in an area of Nigeria called the 'lower Niger'. Biafra is about which of these tribes are tired of 'one Nigeria' and want to go. It should be noted that the way Nigeria is, only any one of the 3 major ethnic groups can secede. A minority has no chance at all, not even 1% chance. Of the 3 Major ethnic groups, only Igbos have shown any seriousness about seceding. Hence, Biafra is about those minorities who wish to leave with Igbos and this will be decided in a referendum. If there are any minorities who feel that Igbos are after their Oil, they should vote in the referendum to remain part of Nigeria. It is serious business leaving Nigeria and we have no time for 'our oyel' people. In terms of Biafra, it has always been a multi-ethnic thing. The proof is in the first Republic of Biafra. Last President of Biafra- General Philip Effiong (Annang) Vice presedent of Biafra-Philip Effiong Chief Secretary to the Biafran Government- Mr NU Akpan (Ibibio) Deputy commander of the Biafran Airforce- FLT Commander Bruce- Ijaw Commander Biafran Navy- Commander Anuku (Ika) Biafran Foreign minister- Mr M Mbu (Ogoja) The man who suggested "Biafra" to Ojukwu as the name of the new country- Frank Opigo (Ijaw) 6 Likes |

Rossikki: The southeast do not need Oil to survive.... get this into your skull... If they need oil just like other region, they would have been involved in land disputes especially in IMO and Abia state,..whose lands was lopped to rivers and akawaibom.. Imagine.... how can you have a community been shared by two state....Egbema is in rivers and IMO state... The southeast do not need oil...they just need an environment where they can comfortably explore their God given skill and talents without hindrance... You may ask, what are the hindrances? Can you explain y only Lagos seaport is the only port that most goods are authorized to pass through.? Can you explain y ibeto was drawn out just to give Dangote the monopoly of cement business? Can you explain while some Igbo business men are been frustrated just to give an edge to other person from the north or west? Can you explain while jamb cut off differs with regions? Can you explain y major infrastructure are not been put in place in the SE to ease the stress of doing business... So many of them... This is the main reason y Igbo want to succeed from this contraption that want to carry everybody along thereby delaying other persons development. The Igbo's need a country that sees every opportunity and persons equal and not frustrating one region to favour another person. 6 Likes |

uglyafonja: Lol, i used to work with an NGO in abeokuta, where we usually rehabilitate sex workers, it was in conjunction with a church.. .We met a girl in one of the brothels in abeokuta, her name wa Nkechi, she said she was from idemili in anambra. We normally asked those victims, what brought them to abeokuta. .she started crying, she said her mom was a prostitute and that she never knew her father.. She expressed how life was difficult there and she had to accompany her aunty to abeokuta to work .. She said she was told that she will make it here abeokuta... And yes she had saved N43,000 from her trade as a prostitute.. ..most of her clients are abokiis, elerans, okada drivers.. But to God be the glory Nkechi now has a shop at sapon market where she sells female shoes, and i heard she's now a member of the church that helped her. Now this is just one of the stories.. .there are other ones too ngozi, Linda, augustina and so on. What about ifeanyi selling fanyogo, Obinna selling gala at sango bridge. This is to tell you that our region is economically independent and we don't run to other regions and becoming parasites unlike the igbos 8 Likes |

Omofunaab2: You can formulate any story...... I am not here to argue.... you claim to be a Christian and here you are on nairaland playing tribalism and hatred.....like I said I don't wanna argue unnecessarily... but I have given you a verifiable question to answer..... The say Igbo sell this and that.....answer me what do your people now do for a living...Skull mining and agbero/ juju work.... Pay up your debt and salary and also do well to get your brothers off from Oshogbo IDP camp, before you come here to tell me about economy... Economy, ..... with your region having brown roof dilapidated houses without proper sanitary facilities..... Economy ,....with your people gradually becoming beggers..

Omofunaab2: Like I said I will not engage you in an unnecessary argument..... But my question still remains.... Are your people better than the strangers living in your land? In Lagos, Igbo's lives in mansions, while your people live in slums.. Igbo comes to your place, buy up your lands and made you tanants and beggers... You should be ashamed.....There is what is called opportunities, some may see it from afar but those close to it may not see it... Your people follow Igbo's all around in Lagos chanting chief, chief and begging for just #100... The truth is that your people are lazy and poor. Igbo's have conquered the opportunities in their region and are moving to other regions to take over... my advice for you is to compete with the Igbo's in your region before moving to any other region. 5 Likes |

Omofunaab2: A typical afonja..........always looking for a way to run away from real issues... Try and pay up your house rent to your Igbo landlord before he throw you out, just like ambode threw your sisters and brothers into the lagoon and cleared the land for Igbo buyers... Igbo's enjoy the sweet side of Lagos like lekki, ajah, Victoria island ,ikoyi etc........While your people reap the worst slums of Lagos.... Go and pay your house rent because your hatred on nairaland will not save you. 4 Likes |

True, how come the four major oil producing states are part of biafra? Coincidence? They just want to steal our oil. The other day when I was in the bus to Onitsha there was this drunk Anambra man shouting on top of his voice that the Yorubas and Hausas are stealing their oil. I was like lol, which oil de for Anambra? I don't support the division of Nigeria, not because I have anything against the Igbos, but because if Biafra comes, it will be exactly like Nigeria. Biafran politicians will still loot the resources from Niger Delta, because they are actually Nigerians, that corrupt nature will still be in Biafra, so no need. I am not been tribal oh, just speaking the bitter truth. Proudly SS. One love my people. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Rossikki: This was the sentiment used to mobilize Nigerians against Biafra. Ken Saro Wiwa was a proponent of this thinking but the truth is there for all to see. You should have gone ahead to show how many oil wells they control in the South South, the number of their natives who work in the oil industry, and the location where the head office is sited. You should also note that some states in the South East have 'drops' of oil. But even without oil they have done well. if i may ask is the south south as developed as south Africa? is the south south not restive? is the south south not engaged in arms struggle? is the south East responsible for the crisis of governance in the south south? with oil, what is the GDP of the south south as a region, is it a hundred times greater than that of the south East? am sure you have heard of Dutch Disease. Nations thrive on ideas japan, china, israel etc tells the story better. Africa is resource rich but is it better than eastern Europe? the contraption we run as a nation wont go far if we dont stop patronizing serious issues. it is very very unfortunate that Nigeria as a nation is so divide to the extent that we pretend all is well. What is wrong if someone decides to complain when others choose to keep quite? we must end the slave mentality |
