Why Biafra Agitators Insult And Abuse Anyone Against Biafra by kokomaster3d: 9:22am On Jul 22, 2017
I don't understand why the Biafra agitators all over the internet keep on abusing and insulting anyone with negatice comment about the Biafra. All over social media, all I see are insultive and derogatory comments.

Because those who make negative comments about Biafra also use insulting and derogatory language against people supporting biafra. If you have been following Biafra threads on nairaland, I am sure you would have become familiar with words like biafrauds, liepods, cownu, land of potopoto, Igbo to mention but a few. So don't only observe the wrongs of the Biafra supporters also see that of those against them

Nobody abuses back until somebody initiates something somewhere. Kanu starts abusing Nigeria and Nigerians and sure (very natural) he'll get a dose back, even more than he bargained. All those negatives you mentioned are responses to what was started by Kanu-types. I remember vividly the words Igbo and Osu were started as a response to Kanu children calling Yorubas Afonja.

Take it bro: It's like some people can't do without abusing whoever opposes them.

Why make a negative comment about Biafra in the first place,is Biafra Boko haram or Isis ?

You can be a one Nigeria promoter and still make constructive criticisms without insulting/badmouthing Biafra!

You only make negative comments when you have nothing to say!

Didn't the Yorubas cheer the killing of unarmed protesters?
Didn't Oba of Lagos threaten to drown Igbos in Lagos?

The Yorubas should mind their business and focus their energy on actualizing oodua republic(if that's even what you want).

But if they say Biafra matter will be their breakfast,lunch and dinner....then am afraid we will keep calling them out while returning the "Favour"!

You expect you'll call Lagos a 'No man's land,' and dabble into local politics, to the extent of challenging the natives and go unchallenged. It definitely will look like an insult to the natives and they'll respond in like.

Let's assume what you wrote above is true(which I doubt) then my question is If someone behaves in an uncivilized manner towards you and you also decide to respond in an uncivilized manner towards him, then what is the difference between the two of you? I was merely trying to point out the hypocrisy in the op's question. The insults fly both ways here on nairaland but he chose to turn a blind eye on the insults of those against Biafra while focusing on the ones from those supporters of Biafra. You just buttressed my point in your own way. The use of derogatory language is not a "Biafra supporters " problem like the op was trying to paint it, it's a general problem here on nairaland

Who challenged them when fasola deported Igbos to onitsha?
Lagos was a former capital,simply because it's located in SW does not give Yorubas right to monopolize it's advantages,if you think otherwise,ask sanusi who said they need Lagos more than ss!

No I disagree. Those with siege mentality always look outside for the cause of their problems. They always have an external factor to blame. It's either the North or the Yoruba. I remember a wise saying somewhere that when more than three call you out, you better look inside for a remedy to the issue.

Obasanjo called us 'jobless miscreants' in 2015

They should not complain when we fight back.

Fashola was deporting all Nigerians who were deemed to be problems to Lagos as a state policy. He has severally deported Yorubas and Northerners before what you referenced. It was only when he touched Easterners that they started calling on the 'illegality' of the act. It was not to them illegal when theirs were not affected. As for Sanusi, what makes you think he's not right, or any sensible person will disagree with him?

If sanusi is right,why are you and your brothers seen everywhere on Biafra threads fighting against it?

Why did you go to war to keep Biafra since it's less important!

I disagree with you trying to 'normalize' the insults in Nairaland. Even Newton said: "To every action, there's equal and opposite reaction." When there's one force, there's always another force or several forces to balance it.

Nobody is fighting to keep any Biafra but Nigeria. If Ojukwu had succeeded Nigeria would've lost the war. But unfortunately Ojukwu lost. Pragmatism is seeing what will work. Freedom is not attained by guile. Somebody told the Biafrans that Nigeria has a standing army and the best and easiest way to cut out its territory is to engage this establishment. But what happened to who gave this objective analysis. He was lampooned as an Afonja Professor.

And Sanusi again: He is 100% right that when push comes to shove, the North is better to align with Lagos and SW than the SE and SS. At least it's better - strategically - for anybody who wants trade and development.

And where in my post did I try to normalize it? I said it's a general problem here on nairaland and not one-sided. How does that translate to normalizing? Please try to understand people's posts before commenting on them

I challenge you, Igbo and Osu were a response to Afonja. Look selyl to any thread where they're mentioned, and follow the thread and see what's the genesis.

Nnamdi kanu and his IPOB miscreants started the insults from what their director dishes them from radio Biafra and those brainwashed monsters brought the insults on all social media.
Now they are hated by everyone, even some ethnicities not up to 4LGAs in Igboland now have guts to abuse Ndigbo now because they are all fed up with the insults.
