Group To Declare State Of Biafra Republic On Nov 5 by ambrosini593(m): 6:52am On Jul 11, 2012 |
ENUGU—A pro-Biafra group, Biafra Zionist Movement, BZM, announced, yesterday, that it had commenced the process to launch the struggle for a State of Biafra with the international community, saying that the formal declaration of the new Biafra Republic had been slated for November 5. www.vanguardngr.com/2012/07/group-to-declare-state-of-biafra-nov-5/ |

While for me the declaration of Biafra may seem good if well planned and backed by adequate force, I am more inclined to Ndigbo remaining part of Nigeria and put in more effort in developing Ali Igbo. This type of segmented efforts can only make things worse for Umu Igbo around the country. B[b]ecoming a strong, vibrate economic region in Nigeria is still the best option for us.[/b] Though the way Ohaneze and other orchestrated the 2011 support for Jonathan was a big disappointment handed down to the South East. 6 Likes |

I really don't wanna die before testing out the Microsoft Surface pc.Lmao @topic You can't just wake up and declare Biafra without putting some things in place. They have to talk with people, countries and bodies that matter in the world before declaring anything. |

I pray that God guilds all of us. One question, what territory would be part of this new biafra. I did not like the old map as Itsekiris and Ilajes(both yoruba) were part of. I rather see a larger territory like Benue joining rather than any part of kogi or western delta. This group should park well o !!!! I am in support of it and any well meaning Nigerian should support it. If a group of people don't want to be part of Nigeria, they have every right to do so. Biafra can be decleared with her former territories but please remove western delta and added benue so it would also be a Christian republic. Best wishes I hope to travel to the new country of biafra by next year. 4 Likes |

saintneo: I dey laugh like Obasanjo o! egift, from you previous post, you are from kaduna. Me Kaduna, since when Am a correct Onyi Igbo. Just that I also have a Nationalist view. If Ndi Igbo can build, develop and industrialize Ali Igbo (for me) its far better than pursuing a separate country. The later, come with a lot of tooth-arch and challenges. Anyone that tells you its simple is a bloody liar. Also I believe a one united Nigeria, under a good leadership is better than any other option. Just wish the Adamu in Abuja can just do his work and stop playing tinko with the lives of Nigerians. 5 Likes |

alj harem: I pray that God guilds all of us.You don't come from any of these places, so i don't think you have a right to decide where is removed and where is not. leave that to the Western Delta and Itshekiri/Ilaje people to decide. As for me i would want an Igbo only country as Biafra, so that problems of marginalization will never crop up. I hate that word. |

afam4eva: I can speak for them as they are yoruba groups and I am yoruba. Can Essex people speak independently from UK ? No Can white american speak independently of USA ? No ! I just said Ilaje and Itsekiri so as to remind some of those that don't know there history or territories. IN THE REAL SENSE I SHOULD HAVE SAID YORUBAS IN DELTA. Sorry my mistake An Igbo only country would be good as well if Biafra so wishes. That is up to biafra and her neigbours to decide, I was just making clear cut/ ensuring everyone inculding me got our head screwed on tight so we can enjoy a good bilateral relationship with each other. I see a great country in baifra. 2 Likes |

@ Topic.. The gods did not sanction this move... It will surely fail.. I advice all the good people of Igbo land to stay away from the path of these BZM people.. They are the proverbial 'man whom the gods want kill, they first make mad'.. Be warned, if they do not desist from this action, there shall be blood.. And the blood shall be ours.. The gods have spoken... 2 Likes |

Re: Group To Declare State Of Biafra Republic On Nov 5 by Afam4eva(m): 8:55am On Jul 11, 2012 |
alj harem:No, you can't speak for them. Do you think because i'm Igbo that i can speak for Onitsha people? I can't even speak for my village because people have different opinions and know what they want. Thanks for acknowledging that Biafra will be a great country. I think every region in Nigeria all have the potential to be great too. Nigeria is drawing everyone back. |

LOL this s a complete joke. A landlocked country that will have to deal with Boko Haram on their own. FYI just because you want to declare a country does not mean that the physical land is now automatically separated from everyone else. Secondly, you're going to have to start from scratch forming a new government, drafting a new constitution. You can sure that there will be a lot of infighting and you are doing ALL THIS while bothering about the threat of Boko Haram. Finally, I am not so sure that many countries will recognize the republic of Biafra. Only four countries recognized the "republic" the last time they tried this nonsense. The big boys are also dealing with separatism in their countries ( UK is dealing with Scotland, US is dealing with Alaska, Canada is dealing with Quebec, China is dealing with Tibet, Russia is dealing with Chechnya). If they recognize your country it will mean that they are supporting separatism and will start up a shitstorm in their respective countries. I urge you to think twice before trying this. It is most likely that this will not end well. We are all in this together. We do not hate the igbos (like most of them like to think). Trying to run away will do you NO FAVOURS. It will just compound your problem. Let us fight Boko Haram together. 20 Likes |

afam4eva: bros afam, that is you and the Igbo culture which promotes independence. Yoruba culture is different from that and you know this. Yes I can speak for them as they can speak for me. Dayokanu and co are not Aworis/Ogus and they can speak behalf of us so bros if you are in doubt, wait and watch. Yes baifra would be a great country but just like every region, baifra economy would be small and I see a lot of migration, asylum etc from every region/mini country including baifra. |
