You talk like there is only one ethnic group in the north central. Just like south west, the south east is mono ethnic....one language, culture, and people. You middle beltans can never have one voice. You are another mini nigeria.
the south west is not mono ethnic I've been to osun and ogun they use the red crescent instead of red Cross there aren't Christian's there.

Truth be told. The Easterners don't have the political savvy required to engineer a plot to get them out of this country without violence. Don't get me wrong, I truly wish they get what they have been clamouring for.
Unfortunately, the tact required to achieve this still eludes their leaders. They are even bold enough to tell people publicly they don't know how Biafra will come, claiming it is a movement, belief or whatever.
I am sure if they eventually get the referendum (which will not happen anytime soon) they will still not win the independence they seek. Ask Scotland, they are still in the UK even though they had every right to leave.
I understand that the Easterners want to bully their way into Aso rock as their south south and northern brothers did in the last two presidential elections. Understand that you cannot get there without collaborating with another region.
It is my hope that when the rising sun finally rises, it will not be a chaotic society. Ask yourselves, how much is the south east presently contributing to national development? What economic engines will Biafra survive on? Will the southerners who have all the juicy resources be satisfied being minorities in this utopian state? Will Biafra have world power backing? Is the world ready for a migration crisis from Africa's most populated country, whose people are already well known for their illegal migration routes round the developed world?
May God bless Africa with sense.

but seriously play play, play play, this Biafra thing is coming to fruition, play play if the don't put referendum then we take them to UN, so they'll be forced to put it then we hold referendum, play play, play play. I wonder if they are going to send south west guys to contest that we shouldn't leave. because seriously the people keeping quiet will now want to join. this thing is serious...o choi The south-south won't stick to one-naija because if it does then it's breast will dry up we all know that so they will have to join. the south south won't isolate themselves and be sucked dry by Nigeria we all know that, then those oil companies will need to bring their head quarters to the new Biafra land, that's the beginning of South West failures, then the north will not be able to do shit, then they'll start getting biafran passport to come search for work here HAHAHAHA someone save this prophecy because it's going to come to pass and it will happen in your eyes. I can see the future now oh God. The can't fight us because we are doing it in peace, if they do UN PEACE KEEPERS FLOOD THE PLACE OOOOHHHHHH SSSHTTTT do you see the picture guys anybody see the picture, we have three ports Calabar, warri, portharcourt, businesses coming in, you are dumb if you don't see the picture I see it clearly.

Pretense and hypocrisy is like a pregnancy that can never be hidden for too long.

The Biafra compass is set already and destination is closer than envisaged. The high and mighty are falling in line or fall out for ever.

Their[children of hate] being held in derision is an understatement.

Even if I hate KANU( which can never happen), his boldness and tenacity to librarate his people is enough reason for me to appreciate him.

See how every Igbo man is now waking up from his slumber.
Nnamdi KANU, may God bless you for this beautiful seed you planted.
All unity beggars that said over their dead body would they allow Biafra to come should prepare to witness Biafra independence from their respective graves.


ANY COUNTRY WHERE DIVERSE GROUPS ARE HELD TOGETHER WITHOUT OPTION OF REFERENDUM AND SELF-DETERMINATION, IT'S LIKE THE DIVERSE GROUPS ARE HELD CAPTIVE LIKE SLAVES. NNAMDI KANU KNEW THAT.

FULANI-LOYAL SOLDIERS CARRYING AK 47 RIFLES SUPERVISED THE 1999 CONSTITUTION AS THEY BREATHED UPON THE NECKS OF THE DRAFTERS OF THE CONSTITUTION. THE SOLDIERS DELIBERATELY OMITTED REFERENDUM, THUS ALL DIVERSE GROUPS IN NIGERIA ARE HELD AS SLAVES IN ONE NIGERIA.

TIME TO INCLUDE REFERENDUM IN NIGERIA'S CONSTITUTION IS NOW, ELSE, NIGERIA RISKS VIOLENT BREAK-UP.

I respect the fact that you just give your opinion without insults unlike some other peeps. Back to the matter at hand, I really believe a restructuring will help us better as each geopolitical zone has its advantage. If Nigeria works well we will be the China of Africa we've got the numbers,resources and the talents
we don't want to be like China. Rather, we would like to be like Japan. Small but mighty

Let me ask. What about those other states that are not purely Igbo states. Eg, Delta & Bayelsa, do U think they will love to join Biafra? To me, that's where the biggest struggle is.

Bro freedom is a choice and any1 who wishes not to identify with Biafra is very free to go.

At last they fell for the bait.. Igbos are officially dead politically in Nigeria.

The North will now make sure no igbo person gets near the seats of power to avoid their much dreaded restructuring.

As a Yoruba man, I am indifferent.. Let master and slave with new voice slug it out.

I pray this thing comes to pass soonest, but I fear the idiots have burned so many bridges it might remain a mirage getting their way through democratic means.
stop saying SE burnt bridges.50 years have they waited on the FG to implement the three Rs ,reconstruction, rehabilitation and reorientation none came and now the SE development commission bill is thrown out of the floor of the NA.it is no fault of the SE.If the FG is serious about the even development of the country then they should do the needful.

why didn't "GEJ till 2019" fix the 3Rs?

Going by the vote pattern, the North (places like Kano etc.) will develop fully first, followed by SW and some areas in SS.
SE is the least on the table for now.. You should have asked GEJ for roads etc instead of looting the treasury dry.

Listen clearly. All of Igboland will be included in the referendum.

Even though I hope other Niger Deltan groups will join the call, the Igbos will not cede any land that has Igbo speaking people to Nigeria.

Asaba is coming with us and Port Harcourt.
