[s]This is just a concise and simple truth as to why biafra will never happen.... Biafra has been an agenda of few men that is fueled by greed and dangerous motives. BIAFRA is not and was never the will of the people from the east,, it was an idea fueled from greed by ojukwu and now Nnamdi kanu..and this idea was forced upon to the gullible people of the east, and they took the bait...Catalan independence that is currently trending in spain was started by the people, online poll shows that about 80% of catalans wants independence,, they dont need a man like Nnamdi kanu before they protest, unlike in NIGERIA where majority of easterners dont even care of biafra,, all they need is for the federal government to represent their region well in Abuja...A biafra by Nnamdi kanu forced upon by gullible easterners will not hold....Biafra can only succeed if it indeed comes from the heart of 80% of easterners.

So why is everybody afraid of referendum? By the way, how did Kanu, who is just one man, manage to force millions to accept Biafra?

At least Biafra is an idea, an ideology and an agitation. Nigeria was never any of the 3 but a mere colonial contraption foisted on the people by imperialists

Cyynthia:

We have bigger issue bothering us here.

kitaatita:
I agree that feeling the impact of governance will douse the clamour for secession. You are also right that greed is fueling the agitation. I see Biafra as the military wing of PDP. Those who are financing Biafran agitation do not want secession. They will not want to leave their investments in Abuja and Lagos; their hotels and oil tankfarms and importation business. The don't want to leave their political offices in the National Assembly. They just want to destabilize the present administration so that they can come back to mainstream government and continue plundering the nation

I like the ideological aspect of Biafra. Can you imagine a Biafra week where people from the old Eastern Region return home for weeklong activities of lecture, film shows, symposia, parades and lectures? It should be a period to ask questions; about the three R and its implementation, to talk about marginalization and restructuring. Can you imagine a Biafra Day with a National Public Holiday. Biafra Day is more relevant to Nigerians than May 29 or June 12. Biafra Day is accorded lesser respect because of people like Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB renegades who spew insults and threats. I would want the President involved in Biafra Day. That is my own Biafra.

No crime in self delusion. Some of you on this website will live to witness the glorious exodus of Igbo people from this failed colonial plantation.

Saintsammurai:
Read inbetween the lines,,,Easterners dont need biafra, biafra is an idea fueled by dangerous motives...The people should not give in to Nnamdi kanu.. there are other ways to develop the east than biafra...Nnamdi kanu, just like ojukwu and few other men are snakes and enemies of a true easterner.

thesicilian:
I am not an Easterner, but I can't help but notice the flaw in OP's argument. He quoted an exact figure - 80% - for those in support of the Catalan independence but when he comes to Biafra, he confidently says "majority" are not in support. Was there any poll, online or otherwise, that brought about this conclusion?

Saintsammurai:
Then why are the easterners in lagos and abuja giving a deaf ear to the agitation? why are igbo speaking states like anambra not part of biafra?.

Saintsammurai:
@attackgat you still do not get my point,, biafra is not from the heart of the people, for the fact that the people failed to develop their natural resources or products like you said and i quote "let Enugu develop her coal" is not a reason to seperate, you made mention of gambia but you fail to realise that USA is great today because of her diversity and large population... Nobody will stop ABIA or Enugu from developing their products just as washington wont stop california from developing her products..

Product of a quota system. I believe you are from yobe state.

Saintsammurai:
Funny you... The yorubas that i know are more intelligent and well cultured than to be agitating for oduduwa or whareva republic... stop being naive and misled by greedy men... NIGERIA will not seperate.

my guy God bless you, these igbo people think Yoruba's can b fooled the way they are being cajoled everyday without thinking it is aftermath of pdp loss. I even hear say one yeye boy wey dey call himself adeyinka grandson dey talk rubbish. I just laugh in swahili

You've literally just picked one random country to use an example. Why not use India (before partition) as an example? Also, who told you that the majority of Igbos want to stay in Nigeria? I will tell you for a fact that the majority of Igbos in the East support Biafra and the majority of those outside of the East either strongly support Biafra or could easily be swayed to due to the actions of the Buhari administration. Buhari truly is IPOB's biggest asset.

attackgat:


What do yoy mean Biafra is not from the hearts of the people? Are you in the hearts of the people? If you really care about what is in the hearts of the people,
, support a referendum like Kanu let the people speak for themselves. If Igbos vote by a majority to remain part of Nigeria, the issue of Biafra will die forever.

Diversity and population does not mean anything if the country is not working as a nation. Switzerland has a population of just 8 million people but has a bigger GDP than Nigeria. Belgium is just 10 million people but is richer than Nigeria.

Nigeria is stopping the Igbo nation because the coal in Enugu and the limestone in Abakiliki is not under the Igbo nation, it is under the Nigerian ministry of solid minerals.

The Oil and Gas in places like Ohaji, Aguleri, Ukwa is under NNPC. The Coal in Enugu is under Nigerian Coal Corporation. Igbo land does not control its resources because we are under Nigeria. Nigeri decide what we use, when and how.

It is time for the Igbo nation to be independent and manage its self outside Nigeria
