As long as you don't encroach on other peoples land. Because during the Civil war Biafra army entered places in the South South,

even Ore in the South West before they were stopped by the Federal Army.  Most Igbos don't even want Nigeria to break Go and ask the trader in Alaba if he would

like to relocate to his new country and do Business from Nnewi?  Or if Pascal Dozie would like to relinquish his estate in Lagos and relocate Diamond bank in Mbaise?

Or the other Igbo's due to their industry making milions all over Nigeria i think its the lazy, unsuccesful or Politically frustrated ones amongst them that keep shouting of

Biafra


Rotimi Amaechi is Igbo how naive can some people be!! So John Oyegun former governor of Edo state is a Yoruba man. Or those people named Omasola,

Omagbemi from Delta state are Yoruba. Even Michael Essien is Calabar!! Too many Illiterates and uninformed people around.

Mr,
I'm from the region you call south south today, but to tell you the truth bros, i prefer to live in Biafra as of today than this stinking rotten devilish empire called Nigeria.
Biafra is a choice not by force!!!!, no body is forcing you, you can remain in Nigeria. but for me and my tribe, we know which way to follow when the time comes, we have learned a good lesson in Nigeria and i know also no single Annag man and many silent million others  will like to remain in Nigeria.
Please when your discussing something concerning South South/Biafra, Kindly represent your tribe or your family only and  don't involve all south south. we are no more follow follow, associate with whom you want to, and allow me to make my choice.

Stop dividing Brothers, If you say that Chibuzor Amaechi is not an IBO man, but for sure IKWERES are (99)% more related to IBO than any other tribe in Nigeria, so!!! more or less they are the same Family. No different between (Uche Okwukwu, Uchechukwu Mmerije, Peter Odili, Chibuzor Amaechi, Obi wali, Chukwuemeka Nzeogwu, Ngozichim Omehia, Chinua Achebe, etc) all are they same Family.

As things are going on in Nigeria, only a fool will be deceive again by Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani in South South.

when nigeria can not effectively count its population, it is keeping oil for strategic reasons. Just because someone decided to type petroleum on a 'govt' website doesnt make it true. afterall the Nigerian govt told us education for all by the year 2000.

Apart from observing that there must be a big reason why Nigeria is not letting Biafra go, inspite of everything, I have also observed that when Nigerian govt statistics are presented showing positive development in Igboland, many Nigerians declare same as invalid. But when the same statistics is presented for their own group, they accept it. This was experienced in JAMB statistics as well. This is nothing but sheer envy and frustration. So someone just woke up and declare Anambra and Enugu oil bearing? Why did they not declare Oyo or Zamfara? Yeye dey boom.

Why would a country allow another to dredge a river to open a new port in their country when the former already has a seaport? the instances of inland ports are within a country not quite like the type Biafra would have to  do.

What a shallow sense of reasoning exhibited here.

Nigeria currently has several sea ports, yet the country has budgeted billions to dredge the River Niger as indicated in the proposed 2008 budget. http://www.champion-newspapers.com/news/article_1.htm

Why are they doing this?

Furthermore, most of the businesses involving the existing ports are conducted by the Igbo, fetching billions of naira to the Nigerian custom service, and thus the FGN. Nigeria (in the absence of Biafra) has to decide if they are willing to forgo such huge amounts of money. In international maritime, foreign merchant ships can pass through the waterways of other countries, as long as they pay the necessary tax. Have you heard of the Suez canal? Go and read it up to see who owns it and who uses it. When Nigeria closed the car import business dominated by the Igbo, Cotonou made billions by allowing the car importers to use their port. If Nigeria will not let Biafra use its port (and pay for it), which is most unlikely because of ECOWAS integration, then Biafran business men will take their stuff to Cameroun or Cotonou. Somehow, as usual, the goods will find their way to Biafra. Nigeria stands to lose, anyways.

The Ikwerres, Etches, Ndonis, Ukwuani and other Igboid people will not be forced into Biafra. Never. However, they know their tribal lineage and will have to decide if they want to be under Hausa, Yoruba and Ijaw hegemony or stay as equals with their fellow Igbos. I already know how they will decide since blood is thicker than water.

How can you conclude I am Ijaw?

The suez Canal was done to save ships the ardous journey of going round Africa to Asia from Europe. It is not an inland port done within to reach a minute country within a country. Come to think of it Biafra would kind of be like Lesotho.

As regards the oil issue, you have failed miserably to provide evidence of oil accumulation in Anambra and Enugu states apart from a website that can easily be doctored!

You are correct even though the thread had to do with your group, not just you alone. Will never waste my time on you as a person.

Oh, you are so kind!! Just can't tell you how happy that makes me feel. It means I won't have to put up with your whining any longer. Point of correction though. I do not have a group. Like I stated once. . . .I walk alone.  Undecided

Do you know the meaning of evidence? An armed robber in a police station can claim to be walking by when the police arrested him even if he was caught in the act.

People agree to crimes mainly due to fear not the ability of the police to provide evidence.

Still looking for evidence of hatred in your posts? Keep looking, maybe you will find it, maybe you will not, who knows?

See what happens when people like you decide to stand logic on its' head. Please 'who' agreed to 'what' crime?

As for the so-called evidence of 'hatred' in my posts, you were the one who brought up the issue of 'hatred for the Igbo', remember? All I asked you to do, was substantiate your allegation. You couldn't. You resorted to beating around the bush, and parambulating like a spinning wheel. Why am I not suprised? When lazy minds like yours' cannot butress their claims with the truth, they resort to fabricating tall tales.
