This OP is very selfish, so self centered. So all this your balderdash is simply because you don't want to loose your job? You failed!

The minute I saw this;

I knew this is another one of IPOB's propaganda.
I repeat no Itsekiri person, even those with Igbo mother or even father wants to be a Biafran.
Igbo's can fight for their own country, but leave the Itsekiris out of it.

I have been a locker on Nairaland for years but I cannot be quiet anymore because I and millions of others might lose our jobs in Port Harcourt with the momentum seen with IPOB/Biafra restoration since Nnamdi Kanu release. I never believed for a while that IPOB could ever penetrate South South, particularly Rivers state. I work here as an oil worker and I'll be honest with you all: IPOB/Biafra has taken over Rivers state particularly Port Harcourt...everywhere you go its IPOB. Anyone telling you that IPOB/Biafra is a SE/Igbo affair is deceiving you. We here on gorund know what's happening here. It's not just Igbos, it's Ikwerre, Urhobo, Ishekiri, Annang, Ibibio, you name it!

As a concern citizen, I think Federal government should as a matter of emergency move to counteract Nnamdi Kanu before this gets out of hand because after May 30th, things will never be the same with Nigeria. You cannot stop this movement by force, anyone advising you to use force is deceiving you. The people following Nnamdi Kanu are not fools; this people, as with us know that Nigeria is a failure especially with the marginalization of SE, and some areas with SS. This is not the time to debate on if the fault is from the leaders of SE or SS, no, rather time for the Federal government to act immediately by implementing these measures below to pacify and make these young men abandon Kanu.

Federal government must do these:

1. Declare May 30th, Biafra Memorial Day and ask the Senate to pass it as a law that every May 30th will be a public holiday. On this May 30th, acting President Osinbanjo will lead the commemoration of all Biafran fallen heroes and heroines, by laying a wreath at the National Square Abuja in their memory. Celebrate it like we do with Nigeria Airforces Remembrance Day. Biafran Fallen Heroes and Heroines are human too like their Nigerian counterpart.
2. A committee should be set up by the Presidential Executive Council to go to SE and fact-find on all federal roads that need repair, expansion, and construction of new roads where needed.
3. All seaports and Riverport in SS and SE; Port Harcourt, Onne, Calabar, Warri and Onitsha should be reopened, funded and allowed to function to full capacity without interference.
4. All International Airports in SE and SS; Port Harcourt, Calabar, Enugu and Asaba should be funded and allowed to function to full international airport standard like Lagos and Abuja.
5. Earmark funds to support local manufacturers in Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi.
6. Most importantly, restructure the oil and gas industry, where states will be allowed to managed their oil and gas resource, and pay tax to the center.
7. Fix the lopsided appointments by Buhari, and ensure that SE, SW, SS, NC, NW, and NE are evenly represented.
8. Do away with quota system in our educational system, and let students who score high marks reap the benefits of their labor.
9. Disarm Fulani and restrict their movements to the North only.
10. All government offices and agencies must have at least one office in Enugu, Calabar or Port Harcourt.
11. All foreign consulate and visa processing centers must have at least one office in Enugu, Calabar or Port Harcourt.
12. Assure them of a new Nigeria in the horizon, and things will be better, and more restructuring will be made in the coming months as more consultations are done.

I ASSURE YOU, MAJORITY OF SE AND SS will abandon Nnamdi Kanu within 48 hrs. These people actually prefer Nigeria than Biafra, so will work with Federal government on a reasonable arrangement and fulfillment of the conditions above. YOU CAN NEVER EVER WIN THIS BATTLE WITH IPOB WITH FORCE...NEVER! YOU MUST USE SENSE; THEIR AGITATION IS BASED ON SERIOUS MARGINALIZATION.

Notasyouthink:
Fine! You are free to believe whatever​ trash you want to believe but the truth remains that itsekiri people are in IPOB.

Lol.

You don't seem to get it.
We are all Biafrans in this Chaotic, dysfunctional feudal fiefdom called Nigeria.
The word Biafra has come to connote freedom from the chaotic and parasitic clutches of feudal oligarchy.
In this context, every Southerner, every middlebelter, every minority group in Nigeria is a Biafran.

Itsekiri or any other SS ethnic group supporting the idealism of Biafra doesn't necessarily mean that they want to be or must be Biafrans by nationality.

The time has come.
Restructure Nigeria for the future equality, security, progress and prosperity of ALL Nigerians, or, Biafra for all.

wirinet:


Why May 30th? What makes may 30th special? Is that day Ojukwu,s, KANU or even the writer's birthday?
Why would Nigeria celebrate Biafran's remembrance day in Nigeria, with Nigeria's C-inC honouring biafran soldiers? Does that sound sane to you?




Why only South East? Is it only the SE that has bad roads? Most Federal roads in the SS, SW and even the north central are in deplorable state.


The ports is extremely complex, first Portharcourt port and One ports are not closed, it is just that they are not operating in uptimal capacity. The rivers leading to warri and Onitsha ports needs to be dredged before large container ships can berth there.
Having said the above government's running of ports is outdated nowadays. Most ports in industrialized nations are run by private companies, as governments have been known not to run ports efficiently. So the best solution to me will be a sort of private - public partnership with private companies running the ports.
Also ports should not be built in isolation but as part of a general economic policy. Which ports will specialize in exports and which will specialize in imports? The export ports must be built with the expected export products in mind. We cannot continue to build ports to import dumped goods from Asia into the country, that would be recipe for economic doom.

Bad idea. Most of the airports are economically unviable. The whole of the south east and south south does not require more than one standard international airport and one domestic airport. The expected traffic should be the main criteria for building airports and not politics.
The main transport infrastructure that should be build in the SE/SS and indeed throughout Nigeria should be rail. The masses use trains and not planes.

What do you mean by earmark? I hope you do not mean dash people money only to people of Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi.
Financing of businesses, be it manufacturing, agricultural or services is a prerogative of the banks, the CBN can only help through fiscal or monetary policies.


Ideal situation, but we have to physically restructure the federation first. It would lead to the collapse most states if implemented under this 36 state/ 774 local government structure.

Have to stop for now.

oluarc:
I can bet with my testis that the Op is impersonating a Yoruba moniker.....did is an ipob speaking,re they the only ones marginalized? Are there not other tribes in Nigeria dat do not have half of wat dey av? There is a prob facing the country as a whole the worse we can do is break the country apart everyone is marginalized in this country.....remember divided we fall united we stand.

izospindle:

from your comment I see you dont have any investment in the north.....where is the space(land) to accomodate them in biafra land...even in my village igbo people have their houses and shops if nigeria divide no law stops poeple from chasing dem away or even take their lifes ask your brother in south africa

senatorizyking:





Unity is achieved by choice and dialogue and not by force so never believe that Nigerians unity is unnegotiable.
I concur with you to an extent.... Nigeria as a country is a product of forced Union by the British , if Gambia and Senegal can exist together as good neighbors why won't biafra and arewa exist as different sovereign Nations.

With the way Nigeria is going Somalia will be better than us if something should happen to Nnamdi kalu.

GrandGarcon:
That is what you think! That is what you think. Look, in PH right now, if you say something bad about IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu, you will find yourself in a deep hot 5hit, and you cannot tell me that all these people are from SE, go there and SEE things for yourself, don't stay in Ibadam and cast aspirations. The whole fuel has been here all along, all that was needed is just a small spark.

ISpiksDaTroof:


So, basically develop Biafra with the limited resources Nigeria has while abandoning the rest just to appease a group of mentally lazy and shortsighted people? What are their Governors, Senators and Local Government Chairmen doing then? Whats their job? Why do they exist if they can't provide for their citizens?
