Udele1 and all these your useless threads..

First it's Abakiliki....not Abakeleke...as NON-IGBOs most especially Almajiri Afonja write and pronounce it.

As regards the SIT AT HOME...it hurts your Government drastically because it shows exclusively that the SE has rejected you Totally.
All this whining and thread Propaganda will be shutdown immediately a Referendum is Approved, and you know it's getting to that level at a blistering pace.

That is why your new stock in trade is opening new accounts per second on NAIRALAND to spew your baseless gibberish. It's so disgusting that your efforts are fruitless and the region you fight against are robustly tested to refuse your foolish postulations.

People where killed constantly because the held flags ..

Politicians were hounded and are still hounded to reject BIAFRA.

Groups are formed to counter IPOB

EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS are constantly increasing to instigate fear

Bike Propaganda is peddled to discredit IPOB...


But in the long run ..it's useless bunkers because your sponsor has no credibility even in the committee of Nations.

Ozekhome is just a tip of the Iceberg...but I Promise you and your useless cohorts that sponsor you foolishly to propagate nonsense against IPOB...the real dance will start when FULANI Cows are totally evicted from BIAFRA land.

Take this to the Bank ...France/USA/JAPAN/RUSSIA and other Governments are on top of issues concerning IPOB. You guys don't even know the half of it.


Anyway keep up the useless Propaganda...all propaganda is MARkETING. Una Never even see the main Video.


Na so grin

We're back to the days of France and Turkey and Israel and United nations, and aliens from space fighting for biafra.

Shameless brainless things

Ozekhome is cashing out from the clowns and they're talking rubbish.

So tactless...no strategic thinking...just pedestrian rubbish.

Abeg go and sit down. Ipob is a failure already. We Don see una finish

Your Government calls IPOB terrorist but No Nation has determined them as such...E Pain you!!

UAE submitted a list of 400 people attached and confirmed as conduits of terrorist activities...Your useless Government couldn't even release the names ..let alone prosecute 1 bandit/1 herdsmen/1iswap/1Boko Haram. you didn't say anything about that but you open you rancid Mouth and want to insult IPOB that just asked for a referendum??...You are slow.

People like you that love Unity as long as you act as slaves and belittle other tribes will never have peace.

IPOB is beyond the sphere of your useless "Nigerian Space"

When the operation goes wrong and they kill demselves ..you call it IPOB.

In IMO state 2 imbeciless (Rocahs and uzodinma) are Fighting eachother with their useless thugs...but all events was labelled IPOB..because Nigerians needed a narrative to back up their stupidity.

When herdsmen kill with reckless abandonment , you keep mute because it doesn't kwancern you, but when Youth retaliate , you are quick to say Nonsense because you want to feel good about your useless 1 Nigeria status, whereas you cant relocate to Katsina/kaduna etc??

I am not sure those efulefus live in the East. People are tired of the IPOB madness, fear is the only thing keeping them quiet for now.
IPOB (or maybe a faction of it) has turned into a full blown terrorist group against Ndigbo.
Most Anambra people are no longer interested in the Biafra IPOB seek, if this is how they will live in it.

Onuku... I am Igbo, probably more Igbo than your kogi heritage. But I put this squarely to you that the approach you and your ilks that carryout and support the carnage in the East in the name of Biafra shows very little of your intelligence and state of reality.

Your collective actions are an insult to the ideology of Biafra, the rich character of the igbos and to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Like someone above said and I paraphrase, IPOB and Nnamdi KANU at their very best follow a pedestrian thought process. Tueh!

You have to understand that Kanu and IPOB filled a leadership vacuum in Igboland. So it was only natural for people to initially back the cause.
But they wasted the goodwill when they turned their guns towards Ndigbo.
I can comfortably tell you that Igbos are tired of the IPOB madness. But how do you fight armed people?.

Before IPOB was MASSOB and after it there would be something else by God.

We as igbos don't need any other body to awaken a consciousness of growth and collective aspiration. We already have those in abundance through the various town unions and sociocultural groups scattered across Igboland and abroad.

What we need is a reorientation of the mind and a conscious move to look inwards to change our collective narrative. And I tell you, we cannot achieve anything meaningful without political power.

Let's take the local and state governments by the balls and force them to act to truly develop igboland and stop all this sha hara ya politics.

Across the South East, all I see is mediocrity in politics when it is local and a sense of sainthood when it is national. Oga, charity begins at home!

True about the leadership void but I think they channeled their anger in the wrong direction. I wrote a piece back in a dailies about the concept of Biafra back in 2010.

Then, the fire was just brewing. I asked, what would be the gains of South East post Biafra that can't be the gains of the South East pre Biafra?

You see, until we are able to answer this question, we won't make any headway with articulating our goals. The South East is like a rudderless ship open to all pirates and plunderers and what is even more demoralizing is that the people who are most hit by this plunder, continue to cheer and encourage their oppressors.

If it is not IPOB, it is politicians and political officer holders. There is no discerning voice of reason and if at all there is, they the people are ready to shout you down.

The classic cock and corn tale.

You have made absolute valid points. I have always worried about Igbos not channeling their anger properly.
This is where political leadership come into play. Unfortunately for Ndigbo, we have lacked that for a long time. Massob took advantage of that vacuum and now IPOB.
The only way out of this is a political solution. Let us get involved in politics, hold our leaders accountable and responsible. Then push on from there.
This arm bearing will never achieve anything.
