[s]Who made Kanu Nnamdi spokeman and leader of th igbos? How can any sane person call an Igala person a Biafran? When just less that 0.2 % of Igala land share a common border with the east throug Enugu and Anambra? I don't think Biafrans know Igalas are almost 60% muslims and 40% or even less christians? Ok for the benefit of the doubt let us look at it this way. Since the igbos have their rights the middle belt people have their own rights. Is Cape Verde, Haiti, Cuba, Djibhuti, Comoros etc bigger than the middle belt and with more resources? So who says when all of you are done with your madness the middle belt can't be an independent entity? Secondly would the middle belt Igalas, idomas, "tiny" igedes choose to be a minority in Biafra or a minority in Arewa where they stand a better chance and deal than in Jewsish Biafra? Abeg jare... go and sleep. [/s]

HiddenShadow:



You are not the Atta of Igala nation

Only him has the right to speak for the Igalas.


His stand will be final

iSlayer2:


Stop throwing insults to pass your points guy. Sometimes,you guys are so petty. The fact that you can only see the Igbo through the lens of stereotype says much about your person: You don't deserve a sensible response.

rainylad:




..I agree,IPOB should stop giving inconsequential people a false sense of importance...what or who is Igala,idoma blablabla?..na real wa.

azimibraun:
The Igala people are a representative people. Any Igala person could play the role of Attah of Igala in any location and location outside of Igala land and come back home to report his participation to the traditional council. All Igalas know what Igala land stands for and against. We are not rigid like others are. We are Oma attah's Children of the father. We don't need no permission to speak on behalf of our fathers because they have taught us well and have instilled in us the Igala drive. We are Igalas first before our different religions. Every other thing about us may differ but our igalaness is one. And that's the driving force. Ask 12million Igalas do you think Biafrans should have their own countries you will hear Yes if they can. Ask them do you think Igalas should join them, you will hear 12million people say No!!!!!! Not a single igala will say YES!

unohbethel:
@OP please i want u to answer dis questions for me....
y are u afraid of a referendum??

remember opinions are like anus..everybody has his/her own..just as u av stated ur own, y cant u allow others to hav their say tru referendum??

is referendum not d best way to guage public opinions??

some peopl and dia reasoning sha...!

savagefinder:
I insulted you? Where please? I am not the person that is typing words like "f00lish" to avoid a ban.. Your problem is that you think everyone behaves like a tout.
Bcoz you are doesn't mean we all are.. Bros.. You have nothing to say.. Hate? From where.. I statrf facts if it pains you.

Take a condom and go bleep yourself

savagefinder:
wait. Is this the only thing you guys can find up? "mouth peice" "spokesman ".. Like wtf??
I was expecting intellectual come backs...

Oh.. My bad.. I thought I was talking with humans..

azimibraun:
Leave me and my Attah. He trust in my judgment and that's why at the palace they say prayers for us children of igala land for wisdom and strength. Their prayers work for us. Good enough we have an educated and civilised Attah who knows his subjects are great representatives of him and the igala kingdom. And who says our comments here represents the final say? We are just representing our folks in a debate. Our Attah if not directly following the debate as a " Wake up Attah" will have somebody tell him later his children are representing the kingdom and passing his (our) position on Biafra to the world. We are a very civilised and understanding Nation. Our elders respect our brains and we respect their wisdom and understanding. Igalas are one. Simple.

Ikology:


Why not accept that IPOB strategy is flawed? I think they don't want any country of their own, IPOB is only interested in creating confusion in the country through agitations without defined genuine blue print. You people just defend anything. How can you ever support the inclusion of Igala in whatever republic he is pursuing?

savagefinder:
oh u see something wrong with me but you don't see anything wrong with what he has been saying.. Hypocrites..the truth is we see you for who you are and like it or not that's the truth

WushuTemple:


And you people believe you can honestly win over the Igalas in a referendum or what?
Yes, some of the parts of Igalas close to Igboland may have some commonalities with you, but you honestly think 97% of Igalas as a whole will let you balkanize their land?

Their lands in Enugu and Anambra is not enough stolen trophy for you people abi?
You people want more.

iSlayer2:


What stolen trophy? Don't be an idiot. The Igbo have never had a hand in what communities end up where. If not a chunk of Rivers would be in the south east and our lands in Benue would also be in the south east. Think your rants through before spewing them.

HiddenShadow:
The Atta of Igala nation will speak


Anyone who speaks before him, will incur a strong wrath

WushuTemple:


Stop this your "Your lands in Benue fallacy" una no get any Land for Benue.
Benue is purely Idoma, Tiv, Igede.
Agila in Ado LG is still fighting Mgbo Igbo towns in Ebonyi over LAND, and you are here talking that you have lands in Benue. Where?

It is the Idomas who have communities in the SE, if you don't know.

savagefinder:
expected.. We are now unimportant abi..
LOL. It's okay.. We are more civilised, we Harbour every one with peace but can the same be said for you?

azimibraun:
Yes we agree... so what next? You want to suggest the Lagoon for us or to hug a transformer? Don't worry we go do am. Are you okay now? Ene ibete!!!! That's what you are.

azimibraun:
If you don't know our history don't come telling us thrash!!! Where have the Bifrans been all their lives? The Igala people were un officially a minority in Kaduna state, we were officially a minority in Kwara state, we were officially a minority in Benue/Plateu state, we were a minority in the Benue state and eventually grew up to be come the Bosses in Kogi state. You guys think we are some accidental people? We worked our way to the top through hard work patience and hope. You want to come here and preach minority to us? Hell No!! If you want to talk to the igala individual or group you gotta show some respect. All of a sudden some Kanu guy want to tell us where we belong or were we should be? That's an insult.

kaylinda:


Mr Igala speaker. When did you conduct a religious census in Igala land to arrive at 60% muslim population? Or do you think Igala land begins and ends with Ankpa?
I think it is the other way round. Igalas are 60% christians with 40% muslims or less.

luveth:

I am an Igala man, I am also rooting for Igala to part of Biafra.

Fkforyou:
I'm igala, the OP has my support. Nothing more to add....!!!

PDJT:
- Savagefinder, your legitimate points are noted.

-But I'm curious to know why you regard yourself as a "minority" in your fatherland.
My understanding of minority groups in a country are gay communities, non-indigenous race (e.g Caucasian, Chinese resident in Nigeria), disabled people etc.

-Meanwhile, have you seen IPOB proposed organogram? See attached photo.
From my understanding of what IPOB is doing, the new Biafra would be a Democratic Republic, where constitutes willfully join the union but maintains their identity, something akin to U.S.A.

-As for the name- Biafra, it was proposed by Chief Frank Opigo, an Ijaw Chief.

HiddenShadow:



Are you the Atta of Igala nation


Shut up your mouth and wait for the Atta to speak on this issue


Don't you understand cultural hierarchy

laudate:


See dem!! Dem don start!! How many times will people tell you to remove Igala from dat your yeye Government of Biafra organogram? Na who wan join una for legislature? Una no dey hear word? See.... you people even added Itsekiri, Isoko, Urhobo, Idoma etc inside your chart. How many times will these set of people tell you to stop including them in your so-called republic? Nothing wey person no go see for here.....
