A stewpid fellow who wants to continue to occupy the senate second seat and still be a stoking the secessionist nonsense. Did you just realize that the foool cownu was spewing hate and calling for violence? I blame APC by not putting you on the spot for being the hypocrite you are.

GavelSlam:


You guys think too highly of yourselves.

A nation can decide to severe ties with any other nation, nationalise any business within its confines and tax any business anyway it so desires.

PointB:



The rhetorics must go side by side with whatever negotiation is happening in the background.

It's good cop / bad cop strategy. No option should be taken of the table.

When Moses was negotiating the exit of Israelite from Egypt, the 10 Plagues played prominent role. The last was the straw that broke the camel's back. Asking Kanu to stop what's working so far is to take a foot off the pedal. The threat of Chaos must be real and perceived to be real. Only then will Nigeria politicians act! Or why do you think everyone is talking Biafra now if not because a 'crazy man' is holding a lit matches close to huge kegs of gun powder?

PointB:



That's very true, but ...

It comes at a price. Other investors and potential ones will take note and make rational decision in other not be the next victim.

This is one of the prominent TAN member on NL back then.
Bad losers

Nations are concerned about their own investments and not sentiments. China and south Korea might have strained relations but it doesn't stop western nations from flocking to China for production and business.

No IPOB member or supporter have been able to answer pertinent question asked by the Senate President;



Are IPOB youths ready to sacrifice tens of millions of Igbo lives and trillions of naira of igbo owned properties in the North and South West for their Biafra? Most of these IPOB youths including their leader has little or no investments in other parts of Nigeria, most do not even have reasonable investments in the homestead. IPOB is like the proverbial Baby that was in dispute between two women in the Bible. IPOB believes the Baby should be cut in half because she would never feel the pain of loss, while the real mother prefers to give away the baby than lose her baby.

Ekwerenmadu and other Igbo groups are trying to preserve their lives and interests in the Nigerian baby.

PointB:



Continue defending a lame argument.

attackgat:



Dont you see the hypocrisy of what you are writting? So what you are saying is without 'one Nigeria', millions will lose their properties? Without 'one Nigeria', millions may die?

If it is so then 'one Nigeria' is really very bad for Igbos.

Personally, I will never be able to understand why people will.be fighting to keep a British colonial legacy like Nigeria together. If there are those who want to go, let them go.


As for the South/South. A lot peiole seem to forget that this area contains about 50 tribes including a large chunk of Igbos/Igboids. Nobody has asked all these tribes what they want.

PointB:

Lame!

ProWalker:


[s]GEJ till 201?
The joke is on you.
Shameless folks, it's people like you that will never allow Nigerians to take the Biafran agitation serious more than a mere political blackmail borne out of frustrations, we know your own antecedent here on NL.

PointB:



Then we should put it to a vote / referendum.

It is wrong for older people to dictate to the younger one how to live in a fast paced changing world. Similarly, the younger one must not stampede the older ones.

A meeting point is the referendum. Let's put it to a vote!

Biafra or restructuring should be decided by vote, not some regurgitated panic buttons about properties and trading. These can always be negotiated by treaties. Nigerians are found in other countries so would Biafrans.

GavelSlam:


These tribes have not asked for secession and you would not instigate them to do so.

Stick to your own issues.

“Already, extreme utterances and actions by some key elements in the agitation for Biafra are taking tolls on our goodwill, friendship, and the sympathy we enjoy. Insults hurled at religious and political leaders of other regions are not helping us, politically.

“South-East’s political future should therefore be put in context of its economic interest and survival. The Igbo have larger chunk of their investments outside the South East. Our people have invested heavily in every nook and cranny of Nigeria. They are into trading. Imagine a situation where a Republic of Biafra would have to depend on Nigerian passports to travel out.

“Importantly, as I mentioned earlier, we are not certain that the South-South will go with the Biafra idea. And in the event that they do not, what are our options for economic survival? Flowing from this, what guarantee do we have for international support if the main oil bearing region pulls out, knowing that no nation is a Santa Claus?

PointB:



Where is the thing you voted for?

ProWalker:


The President is sick, just like any one can be sick, that doesn't mean you can't die before him, such decision is entirely not of your will.
Stop making silly joke of a sick man.

PointB:



There are far smaller countries without the resources (human and natural) that Biafra boast of. They are doing pretty well. Oil and natural resource is overated. With our without our kindred in South joining, Biafra will survive, Biafra will thrive! And we are not abandoning our investments in Nigeria, they must be protected by same laws that protects the Chinese, Lebanese etc investments in Nigeria. Any Biafran found in Nigeria after the secession, must respect Nigerian laws.

T9ksy:



GBABE!!!..................or too "classically conditioned" to see beyond their nostrils.

Some folks are destined to be "suckers for punishment" as they have bluntly refused to learn a thing or two from their past misadventure.

Here they are again poised to re-enact the Nigerian civil war, part 2.

In as much as I respect Ekwerenmadu, l think he should not tow that his line of thought so that IPOBians will not start seeing him as a sabotuar.

Where have then been since the common man in Igbo land has being marginalised?
If not the pressure from Nnamdi Kalu led IPOB would they ever have come together to talk about the Igbos and Biafra.? we have lost confidence in them, hence whatever they say is irrelevant.hello dont you have any thinking faculty at all. Let me explain what he said in a lay mans language .To impregnate a lady is so easy but the problem is how to feed and take care of the baby till adult stage is the problem. In summary how will you gather your brothers kidnapping, dealing in drugs ,fraud back home after birafia has been fully accomplished.

We lost all during Biafra war and came back stronger and richer agaisnt all odds.so we will do better in Biafra.

For the Igbos living outside Igboland and do not speak Igbo should as well take citizenship of their host country. It will be visa free for them in Biafra.

The leader we know today Nnamdi Kalu. We have chosen our leader

wirinet:


I am reacting based on IPOB strategy of seeking to secede with the use of threats and hate speeches against Nigeria and other tribes in Nigeria. If Biafra unilaterally declare secession, that is tantamount to declaring war.

Countries are like civil marriages, once contracted is often very difficult to divorce. Some divorces are highly acrimonious and difficult. Scotland that you guys like to use as example had fought two independence wars, held a referendum and still not free from England. Northern Ireland is a different cup of coffee. Even Honk Kong is yet to free itself from Chinese rule.

nototribalist:
Nice, did you drink your toilet broom soup hot or cold?

attackgat:


But the unfortunate thing in this situation is no one ever agreed to be a Nigerian. There was never any marriage or a contract. Nigeria is just the colonial making of the British. Since the British have now gone, we should conduct a referendum to know those who want to continue with this colonial idea called Nigeria and those who wish to go a different way
