Brooklynsouth: y are all these yoruba fake concerned bastards after biafra y not think of the best wake to make osun state better nope u won't ts biafra u want yoru ba yoruba yoruba yoruba !!!!!!!! Respect yourselves we hate u with passion I have never had good intention for u people and I ll takes as many yoruba lives as possible when the time comes
hummerwise: The Op is just the typical reason i always urge other tribe to stop attacking the igbos, not all of them support this selfish and fake movement... Mr OP, it will be better you stop this you have tried enough, because no matter how much you try to convince those who have alrdy being brainwashed the more they crucify you..
the problem is, those who claim to be strongly behind the movement called biafra are not located in this country presently, but the they keep influencing the igbos presently located in Nigeria to start the war...
MR OP to prove to you that, no matter how much you try to make them see reasons most of them wud still act like a known extremist.. to prove, JUST WATCH WHAT THERE REPLY IS LIKE WHEN THEY QUOTE ME
the op is just ignorant about the vision and mission of biafran.. He s just ignorant, that s all I can say for now.
lygn19: First I want to clear all misconceptions about igbos being marginalized and I want u people to be the judge, despite how stubborn, we igbos have prooved the Nigerian state has still managed to accommodate us, check the following facts out; (1) The civil war ended by 1970 in less than 10years an igbo man was able to ascend to tye federal level back then in the person of Alex Ekwueme and become the vice president with Shehu Shagari as president. (2) President Mohammed Buhari before he became president made use of different igbos as his running mates though the attempts weren't succesful but is this not the man that some people claim hates igbos. (3) If we igbos have some setbacks in political positions its because of some wrong political calculations we made that landed us here, e.g it was obvious Gej was a failure but instead of us to shift grounds while there was time we instead preferred to go down with him, even so much as becoming more of the supporter than even his southsouth region at our own detriment, even till now the Ijaws has moved on, but we igbos still bear a grudge that I dont know where its coming from in heart and this actions are making us loose out big time. The list goes on but let me stop here from now as that is not my reason for this thread.
U will not have time to tell them that in the north if they ever catch u during crisis. Nigeria is a big scam

I doubt if you are really a girl. But if you are, how much? You know what am talking about o, because that is what your people are good at. Hypocrite like you.
I want Nigeria to remain one because that was the wish of our founding fathers and according to our national anthem, "The Labour of Our Heros Past, Shall Never be Invain".
I know you were not brought up to respect your elders, thats why i wont be angry with you. I have accepted that as a cross every Nigerian must carry for the Igbos.

xtrorse: Your views are mainly based on the wicked propaganda and fraudulent practices that are not allowed to take the front seat in sane climes. ... Which ethnic group have built a better bridge than the Igbos who have exhibited more 'Nigerianness' by permeating every nook and cranny of Nigeria, peacefully building and establishing business empires, and growing the economy of the locals and that of the country at large, and some of them even getting married to the locals?
In the 90s, the NADECO's unlicensed and inciting Radio Kudirat was hitting the airwaves, did any of your elites condemn it?
Before the 2015 general elections, did you condemn the highly inciting Radio Chanji in the North?
Between Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani who makes lousy, provoking noise and propaganda using every available media outfit?
In the build up to the 2015 general elections certain people made careless and careless utterances thereby heating up the polity. Is any of them Igbo
The likes of FFK, Fayose, Fashola, Tinubu, Lai, El Rufai, Junaid Mohammed, Obj and Sahara Reporters who heated the polity with their utterances, is any of them Igbo?
Ever since you were born, have you seen or heard anywhere Igbos are on rampage, killing people and destroying means of livelihoods for no just cause?
How many of your elites dare challenge the Hausa-Fulani-Kanuris or Yorubas for their unjust ways? How many of you dare counter the numerous killings and destruction of lives and properties that have been occurring for many decades in the North unabated?
The Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri people have over the century propagated despicable, hate speeches in their mosques and still execute the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods in the North and Middle-belt. And they now have the presidency while the backstabbing Yorubas vice-presidency! Such a misnomer can only happen in the jungle!
A number of Yorubas even go to the extent of carrying wicked lies about how Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri people have been peace-loving and accommodative; that it's the Igbos that always provoke their hosts in the North warranting the pogrom and other heinous crimes against the Igbos. Yet in the same North and the Middle-belt the Christian minorities and other Southerners are maltreated, relegated to the background and even killed.
You say that Igbos are arrogant, and that they don't respect their hosts while you subtly proclaim that the Hausa-Fulanis are peace-loving and accommodative. You don’t like Igbos but you still fought and killed them to be in this fraudulent union where your likes are favoured by the injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity. And your people even had the effrontery to castigate Igbos for seeking a self-determination!
Many of you hold the view that Igbos should be grateful for being allowed to live in their part of the country, in the same 'One Nigeria'! You say Igbos disrespect and denigrate their host when Igbos choose to exercise their franchise right. And you don't seem to see anything wrong in Oba Akiolu's threat to drown Igbos in the Lagos lagoon if they fail to vote for his anointed candidate! The same threat was backed by many Yorubas including Dr Ariyo in the US who even called for genocide.
IGBOS HATE NOBODY EXCEPT YOU ARE A SWORN ENEMY TO TRUTH, JUSTICE AND EQUITY. At the 2015 presidential election Igbos only exercised their franchise right just like other tribes.
If Igbos are the promoters of hate in Nigeria, can anyone tell us any instance where Igbos go about causing mayhem, killing and destroying means of livelihoods for no just cause?
It's only mischievous bigots in the society that turn blind eye to the evil and injustice, and permit the atrocities to flourish in the land because they gain from the lopsided arrangement in the polity. GENESIS OF HATRED IN NIGERIA
1* “We do not want our Southern neighbours to interfere in our development. We have never associated ourselves with the activities of these people. We do not know them, we do not recognize them, and we share no responsibility in their actions. We shall demand our rights when the time is ripe. If the British quit Nigeria now at this stage, the Northern people would continue their uninterrupted conquest to the sea”. - Sir Tafawa Balewa (1947)
2* “We the people of the North will continue our stated intention to conquer the South and to dip the Koran in the Atlantic ocean after the British leave our shores.” - Sir Ahmadu Bello (1957)
3* "The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grand father, Othman Danfodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use minorities in the North as willing tools and South as conquered territories and never allow them to rule over us or have control over their future" - Sir Ahmadu Bello, October 12, 1960
Ahmadu Bello, arrogantly uttered the aforementioned statement in a multicultural and multi-religious country and got away with it, and many bigots still hold him in high esteem and even shove it down the throats of other people.
5*...barely six months after independence, Sir Ahmadu Bello was able to say with confidence in the Daily Times of May 3, 1961, the following: “I’m set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century.”
6*...sometime in 2010, when upon the demise of President Umaru Y'Ardua, indications emerged that his erstwhile deputy, President Goodluck Jonathan, may contest the 2011 presidential election, a prominent chieftain of this same ACF, Lawal Kaita, who was a former Governor of old Kaduna State, threatened that the North would make Nigeria ungovernable, should Jonathan or anyone from the South win the 2011 presidential election, claiming that such would amount to denying the North it's birthright of ruling Nigeria.
7* It is in the same North barbaric statements like this were uttered in 2011: ”BABOON AND DOG WILL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD”. And what was the outcome - carnage and murder of many Southerners and Christians in the North, including many Youth Corps members when Buhari lost the 2011 presidential election?
8* That true to that threat, upon the victory of Jonathan from the 2011 presidential election, massive violence was unleashed from the North by a group which called itself Boko Haram and which repeatedly took responsibility for unending mayhem which began with the killing of Youth Corp members who worked ad-hoc for INEC in that election.
9* As the barbaric killings and destructions reigned, especially with the attack by Boko Haram on the UN Building and Force Headquarters in Abuja, the Lower Niger Congress publicly posited that the nexus between the aforementioned threat by ACF's, Lawal Kaita and the Boko Haram's bloody campaigns summarily destroyed any prospects for keeping the Nigeria Union.
10* "It was, therefore, no surprise that in October 2013, following the bold announcement by President Jonathan, presenting the sudden prospect of revisiting the master-servant constitutional arrangements of Nigeria infuriated the warmongering born-to-rule Caliphate whose cause was championed by the same ACF, and who, supported by their allies from the renegade wing of the Yoruba Southwest, launched a vicious, frontal attack on the initiative, teaming on the floor of the Conference into a majority, and driving the Conference into its first major decision, i.e. NOT TO DISCUSS THE TERMS OF NIGERIA'S UNITY. The rest of the Conference was a jamboree that provided a luxurious platform for the North/SW Alliance, parading itself as a new political party named APC, to fine-tune their violent March to the do-or-die 2015 general elections."

Your heroes' labours was murdering close to 1000000 children in a Biafra/Nigeria war which should not have been fought if Nigeria's leaders then were honest even to themselves.
@lyng,
you have no sense of history of formation of nation states. In the next one million years, the three largest ethnic groups forced into Nigeria country can never form a nation. Leaving them to continue to exist in one Nigeria implies more and more deaths of innocent people till thy kingdom come.
I find this quite hypocritical. I like the Igbos because they face reality unlike yorubas who pretend like all is well whereas they are the worst hit with bad governance, poverty and disease. I make bold to say that apart from Lagos which I often consider as a general entity for Nigerians the rest of yoruba land is worse than stone age and should be demolished to the ground so that decent development can ensue. Truth be told SE is faring far better than the SW in good governance because almost all the yoruba state had gone broke and sought for bailout. Like I said on the other thread if I have not seen the pictures of the regional capital of yoruba people I would have fallen for their propaganda. The truth be told I have been to SE most of their rural areas are by far more decently developed than ibadan that is filled with mud houses and rustic roofs. The cities of SE are more or less like comparing orange and apple because SE cities are equally by far more developed than the slums called yoruba cities. Below are the different views of yoruba cities, they are worse than the worst in Africa.
I dont know where you are from, i would have been able to tell you some truth about yourself. Now, to what you said, that the Igbos face reality, WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
If they do, they would have realised that biafra was a loss cause. Biafra, was the brain child of a man who doesnt want to lose out because he saw that a younger northern was in a position of power, and felt that since the power has left him people(Ironsi), the best way to go was to seccede and be in absolute power in a new republic(biafra). Like i told one of them(biafrans) they were not brought up to listen to and respect elders, if not, most of the elders of eastern region were not killed(they were actually spared by the coup plotters as against leaders of other regions), why did he not consult them for advice because I BELIEVE, H.E Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sam Mbakwe, Ozumba Mbadiwe etc would have strongly advice against going to war.
If they face facts, they would have realised that the best time to agitate for seccession was during Jonathan, who was a weak president, but they didnt, they refused to because they were in control of the government and felt it will be so forever.
If they face facts, they would have realised that Jonathan's government was never going to win the last election, but they decided to play ethnic politics at the wrongest time.
Now, to the Yorubas that you mentioned, i believe you have not been to Ibadan recently, because the pictures you displayed was the pictures of old Ibadan. That was what made it become the LARGEST CITY IN WEST AFRICA, and second only to Cairo in AFRICA. Ibadan was a little london to all Nigerians before the military introduced the unitary system of government. If you know the history of Nigeria, you will know that Ibadan has always been a pace-setter. Since the discovery of crude-oil, the developmental progress in Nigeria that been in decline.
You will realise that its only in the West that government changes hand like its done in developed countries, apart from lagos, everyother state in the West has experienced both the PDP and APC(AD, AC, ACN) and can proudly tell you which government is better.
To states owing salaries, its not peculiar to Osun alone but almost all states in the federation. If Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and Delta states can owe salary, then you are an Hypocrite for calling Osun.(if you can comprehend what i mean.

Demand for Biafra peaked during the administration of Jonathan. Perhaps you live in Mars.
There may be more Yorubas today clamouring for secession from Nigeria than Igbos clamouring for Biafra, you may not even know that, because there are a few Yorubas like you who believe that crude oil is all there is for a country to survive.
You do not understand that the most rich countries of the world today have no crude oil, one of them, Switzerland, is landlocked.

NAIJASOM: For me personally, it's fundamentally about what type of country will I leave for my children and grandchildren. Sadly, Nigeria embodies the opposite.
I have finally accepted that we are not one and will never be. I have a higher chance of being killed in Nigeria by a fellow country man than outside the country. In other countries, if I become very successful, I am a role model but in Nigeria, they will porposefully create policies to attack my success. One Nigeria indeed.
CreamyBanana: That is nothing but the truth. I am a Yoruba man from Ondo state but I must say that Yoruba are the most wicked and hypocritical tribe in the world. Don't take their smile as love. They are the devil himself.
A Yoruba man will be laughing with you and be killing you at the same time. All the lecturers I ever had problems with were not only Yoruba but from the same state with me. They will be showing you around as their own brother but behind your back, they will be planning on how to destroy you and make sure you never reach their standards.
Yorubas prefer to destroy their own rather than help them. They don't want those below them to succeed. They always promise and fail. If a Yoruba man promise you a job, just forget it. You will just be wasting your time reminding him.
I have got more helps from Igbos and Hausas than even those that claim to be uncles. The only thing they are good at is making promises that they will never fulfil.
When I was looking for admission, it was an Igbo man that I did not even know from Adams that helped simply because he thought I was Igbo. A Yoruba man will never do that for his brother. Instead, they will be looking for every possible ways to bring him down.
My sister had problems with her supervisor who was a Yoruba man. But I never had a problem with my own supervisor who was a Hausa man. I don't hate my people. I just hate their hypocrisy. People from other tribes are busy building their people and taking over our lands while we scheme on how to destroy ourselves.
I am in Ife. Please, anyone in Ife should go to Lagere now. All Igbos and Hausas have opened shop while my brothers are still sleeping and scheming evil against one another.
In Ilorin, Igbos, Hausas and Chinese have taken over everything because they keep on grooming and helping their brothers. Yorubas do not know how to build. They only know how to destroy one another.
Do you know Igbos secrets of how they are taking over Lagos? Because, they will own a shop, train their clansman for a while and help him set up his own business. They are spreading while we are shouting instead of helping ourselves.
dominique: I'm Yoruba and I painfully agree to some of the things said by the Op. When it comes to being your brother's keeper, most Yorubas are lacking in that regards. My mum told me of an experience she had when her car got stuck in mud. It was the Yoruba guys that told her to pass that area that the road is not that bad. When she did and got stuck, they demanded to push out the car for a fee. She got angry and told them that rather than pay them, she would look for other people to push out the car and pay them. While she was still tongue-lashing them, two Igbo (not sure of their tribe sha) guys came out from their shop and helped her push out the car. She offered them money and they declined. She felt so ashamed for her people, I also felt ashamed. I won't say my people are evil tho. Evil knows no tribe or religion.
Yoruba e ronu tunwada (think and change your acts)
bakynes: Am Yoruba and you can confirm from my previous comments. I agree with the OP on the point that we don't help ourselves. Even while I was in the UK, I could notice the trend among Yorubas. Indians, Jamaicans, Ghanaians help their brothers and sisters to come to the UK and help them get papers but We Yorubas even report our fellow brothers to the Home office, we don't accommodate our family members new in a foreign country for more than 6 months. WhIle in Nigeria I met with a lot of family friends who had companies but they kept on promising on helping me secure a job. Majority not all like to see you down and want you to keep begging them for money than helping you stand on your own. Igbos on the otherhand setup their brothers to stand on their own.

I being a core Imo State man is not part of their Biafra but what you wrote up there about Ojukwu and civil war is wrong. Many Igbos have misinterpreted Ojukwu's action based on modified history.
If Igbos were not killed across Nigeria, there would never Have been a Biafra. Ojukwu declared the then Eastern region as Biafra to serve as a safe zone for Igbos who were running from other parts of Nigeria.
Demand for Biafra peaked during the administration of Jonathan. Perhaps you live in Mars.

You lied. There was no agitation for biafra during the Jonathan regime. Uwazurike was so vocal during Obasanjo regime but lost him voice during Jonathan. Be sincere with yourselves and your conscience.
Meanwhile, there was nowhere in my post that i said crude-oil is all we need to survive. I only to you about the downfall of Nigeria and the day development stopped in Nigeria was the day Ironsi introduced the Unitary System of Government.

Rose2014: Hypocrisy/mischief is when Yorubas read that Tonyebarcanista's post and saw that he desires a restructured Nigeria but they chose to be silent on that hence won't address it(or maybe they're too scared to speak )
Rather they were busy having orgasm on the part he doesn't support Radio biafra
Like Dearpreye once said "Nigeria has a date with the truth" We're just busy dancing atilogu round the problem
erikcantona: ...We are no longer answering that name called ss we now knw better ! Together we are stronger !! We are biafrans mind you am from rivers state
dejavski: Am ilaje and I support BIAFRA... though in a peaceful manner. I have come to realise that most yorubas are really scared of secession but they won't admit it
Quote me anywhere
mankand: Guts comes with glory. One thing I like about Nnamdi Kanu is that he is very articulate and organised.
He knows how to organise his people around his dream, he can be the next Che in Africa because he is fighting a just cause but due to the mainstream media propaganda, a lot of people won't see and agree to this.
He have been able to gather the support of the igbo people worldwide both indigenous, in diaspora and those whose ancestors were taken to slave in Europe, America and Latin America which have now become a force to recon with. Unfortunately my people yorubas are still under the chain of mental slavery donating their hard earned money to fake men called pastors instead of donating their money to organise themselves to build another oduduwa nation. We also have the same capacity to do the same as IPOB but we won't.
We also have yorubas all over Latin America, Europe, and other parts of the world.
I wish IPOB success in their quest because with their success, it becomes a motivation for other regions in Africa to do the same
tunjion: The truth is we yorubas should stop opening thread to speak for south south minority.
Biafra from wat i read is not by force. Igbos in Edo such as the igbanke and Ika are Biafrans without doubt.
Other Edo ethnic group might even be rejected by Biafra. Some will end up applying to join.
Sentiment aside, they might feel Hausa and Yoruba will dominate them if they remain in Nigeria
I'm not Igbo. I'm just knowledgeable of their achievements. Read below...Igbos have led in every achievement ahead of the Yorubas up until the civil war. Yorubas only got ahead after the war when the Igbos lost everything and seriously damaged by the war...that was the only way yorubas could get ahead. Awolowo was very much aware of this agenda which is why he offered yorubas free education while starving Igbos at the same time. You get it? However Igbos have since reclaimed that position since 2000.
Read below article. Again Igbos are not your mate. Whites are aware of this!
The phobia you and your lots have for the Igbos have become so obvious is now a sour to the eyes. Whether your concern for the vaibility of the Biafran state when it comes is genuine or faulse, it doesn't scratch us one bit. In fact, we don't and won't notice. Stay in your enclave there and watch.
* one advice for you, buy a carton of panadol extra and desolve the madicine in a basin of water to form syrup, also buy a straw. When the pounding headache from thinking about Biafra gets too unbearable, you sip some of the syrup. You will need it.
I being a core Imo State man is not part of their Biafra but what you wrote up there about Ojukwu and civil war is wrong. Many Igbos have misinterpreted Ojukwu's action based on modified history.
If Igbos were not killed across Nigeria, there would never Have been a Biafra. Ojukwu declared the then Eastern region as Biafra to serve as a safe zone for Igbos who were running from other parts of Nigeria.
I respect your views and cant argue with you. You see, there are many sides to the civil war story, and everybody tells the one that suits them. Personally, i like Ojukwu as a person, but a the originator of the biafran civil war, i dont respect him.
Note, there is a difference between like and respect.
lygn19: Nigeria is an African country located in the west African region, it is a heterogeneous nation with diverse culture and identities ranging from the hausas, fulanis, kanuris, yorubas, igbos, ijaws, itsekiri, isoko, etc. This different people lumped together gives us a huge diversity which is our strength("UNITY IN DIVERSITY". Now the reason for this article is to try and educate some people and clear there ignorance about some issues that might have been discussed in the newspaper stands, restaurants, bars and on our various homes and that thing is called "BIAFRA". Biafra is a country that was born in 1967, 7years after Nigeria became an independent nation, when the people of the Igbo tribe came to the conclusion that they were no longer needed in the country based on some grievances and some misunderstanding from both sides as a result of the coup, the counter coup and the progrom. The proclamation of Biafra led to a 3years bloody civil war that led to the death of over 3million people, mostly Igbos with most of the casualties being women and children. At the end Biafra lost the war and they were accepted back into Nigeria with the clause as quoted by Yakubu Gowon "No Victor No Vanquish". As time went on the Igbos who had left other parts of Nigeria to igbo land as a result of the war relocated back and went back to there various businesses, even Ojukwu the man who led the war was granted amnesty and was accepted back into Nigeria 100percent, so much that he later contested for presidency under one of the parties in Nigeria, though he didnt win he performed remarkably well. Even to the extent that when Ojukwu was old and now full of age, wisdom and experience he demanded that the people his people continues with Nigeria.to be cont...
My guy you tried but you have to understand something I have never been in support of biafra but other tribes made to have 110 % support for biafra this will educate Urhobo Eulogizes Igbo, Says Igbo are The salt of The nation how Much Respect Do You Show Igbos?I am not Igbo. I am proud of my Urhobo. However, as a student of history, I wish to show just what these great people came/come against and yet thrive. Okay, the incessant killings in the North will be glossed over so as to make this article not overly long. The civil war will also not be discussed. However, post civil war, as I explained in my post MINORITY REPORT: THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST YOU, the rich in Nigeria have major roots in the Indegenization decree of 1972 and 1977.I reminded how the banks gave people of other tribes, predominantly Hausas and Yorubas loans to by up companies owned by foreigners. Now imagine the Federal government forced Chevron to sell 51 percent of its shares and that Access Bank will give you loans to buy the shares. How rich will you be in a year? 5 Years? That is how many Yorubas and Hausas got to own UAC, all those Dunlop, Leventis, Cadbury etc. Now while this was ongoing, Gowon told the Nigerian banks to give TOPS twenty naira to any Igbo man that had money in the bank before the war. That is, if you had 5 naira before the war, you will be given the 5 naira. But if you had a hundred naira, you get just twenty naira in full fulfilment of the banks duty to give you your money. Ask yourselves “why would the banks give Igbos only twenty naira? Did the banks collapse? So why pay less than you were given?So while the banks were giving loans to Hausa and Yorubas to buy Oyibo companies they did not build, Igbos were being cheated out of their rightful moneys. Now not also that these people lost Houses and business across the land. It is safe to say that as at 1970/71. the richest Igbo had 20 naira that may be the equivalent of maybe one million. Let us look at how Dangote made his money. He Dangote (a great man and pride to Nigeria) has an uncle called Dantata who owned huge chunks of the groundnut pyramids of the 50’s and 60’s. He gave Dangote a loan and Dangote paid it back in record time. CLAP CLAP. The add that Dangote has had his “brothers” in government, from IBB to Abacha and Abdulsalaam. When they now agreed to democracy, he was rich enough to have funded Obasanjo and so government policies, be it monopoly afforded him for rice, sugar flour and of course a large share of subsidy etc ensures he is the wealthiest Nigerian. (note many had same opportunity but did not use it. We kowtow to Dangote’s investment capabilities)However, for the Igbo man, where will he see an uncle that will loan him money? The richest man in their family has how much as at then? So while Fani Kayode can inherit property of his father and grandfather and great grand father, a Chidi Cali cannot inherit anything from his grandfather who had business in Kano or even Port Harcourt. Neighbours have made his dad’s storey building theirs, and even someone as educated as Saro Wiwa lived in an Igbo war emigrant house as his. (a sore point of the Niger Delta and Igbo Unity) WAEC building was Ojukwu’s dad’s building and like that building, thousands and the land with it….lands worth billions today were taken from Igbos and each and every Igbo had tops 20 naira, destroyed homeland, stolen and destroyed wealth away from the east. also his brother is never president that will give him oil block or fuel lifting. Of 33, only one Igbo man and because he was in Obasanjo’s good graces. YET LOOK HOW PROUD THEY STAND TODAY!!! Look what they have achieved for themselves….FIRST GENERATION WEALTH…top second generation. From being unable to send their first sons to school so he could help look after the shop, to producing first class brains in all departments of modern learning. So today, as you accuse Igbos of wanting their Biafra or of Baby Factory, or liking money and ready to do anything for money, remember that just forty years ago, while the banks were dashing your uncles loans to buy all the companies of Nigeria, it stole from the Igbos. Know that appointments have not favoured them. Note that they remain persecuted and many speak such ill and hate towards a people forced by need to survive to be extra-aggressive towards their sustenance. Maybe if you took their history into consideration, you will not be so critical of them, but instead say “what a resilient people” and give God the glorythat FOR NOW, we and such a great people are compatriots.

bolajJP007: You lied. There was no agitation for biafra during the Jonathan regime. Uwazurike was so vocal during Obasanjo regime but lost him voice during Jonathan. Be sincere with yourselves and your conscience.
Meanwhile, there was nowhere in my post that i said crude-oil is all we need to survive. I only to you about the downfall of Nigeria and the day development stopped in Nigeria was the day Ironsi introduced the Unitary System of Government.
Ironsi's unitary government system had 50% derivation going to areas where resources were derived. The federating regions still were left.
Your Arewa masters your southwest helped defeat Biafra later restructured Nigeria to the way it suits them. With numerous undue states and political representation constituencies which Arewa soldiers created in the north with foul use of land mass as criterion, unitary government system was further strengthened by them, because through the fraudulent number of states and political representation constituencies in the north, Arewa takes home more of Nigeria's revenues and determine who presides over Nigeria.
Things are being done the right way for the 1st time. Our institutions like EFCC, DSS, Army etc. have started functioning again. Power has improved greatly and petrol is now being sold the same price in Imo, Lagos and Abuja. Before Buhari Imolites never bought fuel at PPPR approved rate except through long queues at NNPC Station. This has happened in 4 months. I will make my first real assessment after 2 years. However for now I'm highly satisfied.
Dis yorobad assassinated licker. idiottt the price of petrol continue to drop elsewhere non stop. at least Jonathan reduced the price. idddiooottt. die die die. chinology come tell dis bastaaad how he ll die
bolajJP007: I respect your views and cant argue with you. You see, there are many sides to the civil war story, and everybody tells the one that suits them. Personally, i like Ojukwu as a person, but a the originator of the biafran civil war, i dont respect him.
Note, there is a difference between like and respect.
If you were in Ojukwu's shoes what would you have done. The killing of Igbos across Nigeria was backed by Gowon Government instead of arresting and prosecutung those killing Igbos. The creation of Rivers and Southeastern States was simply to turn minorities against Igbos just like the rest of Nigeria. It made the minorities see Igbos as occupiers and Northerners as liberators while the issue that lead to secession had nothing to do with resource control.
Let me give you an example using Edo state where the Bini is majority with other tribes like Afemai, Esan and Ijaw. 10 Edos out of a population of over 4 million were involved in killing of top politicians from other tribes in Nigeria and the rest of the country went astray and started killing every Edo in their domain and they ran back to Edo State in millions. The Edo Governor now declared Edo a separate country to protect its people from total annihilation. FG knowing fully well that there are other tribes in Edo now hurriedly created Esan State and Afemai State narrowing the crisis to Bini ethnic group. The Afemai and Esan now saw Bini as occupiers and teamed up with FG to free themselves.
That is what played out in the civil war. Every other stories you read and hear are politics that came to play during the war.
I hope you guy know biafra in Nigeria will be like Lesotho in South Africa. It will be a very stupid mistake your children will cause you for. All your shop owners in Lagos and other part of Nigeria will need permit to do anything in Nigeria. Your right to bringing in fake drug and fake spare parts will be lost thereby making Nigeria a better nation. Your business men will become broke as there will be no market for all there imported goods. You guy refuse to realize that Nigeria is a great nation with or without Igbos. Have you even tot of how you will start life as a biafran? YourLife would be worst than that of Togo.

See misery and wailing in disguise from greedy parasites that would rather have this false union continue with its injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement than have restructured since they have only flourished and survived at the expense of others therein.
And Jesus said unto them, "weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children".
lygn19: Nigeria is an African country located in the west African region, it is a heterogeneous nation with diverse culture and identities ranging from the hausas, fulanis, kanuris, yorubas, igbos, ijaws, itsekiri, isoko, etc. This different people lumped together gives us a huge diversity which is our strength("UNITY IN DIVERSITY".

If u were ojukwu n for 10 straight months, igbo men women n children were killed across nigeria....what would u have done
Ojukwu tried many times to avoid dis war, He called for aburi accord, He called gowon for meetings several times to discuss how to end d problem...
Imagine for 10 months Yorubas were been killed daily in nigeria, what would u have done

Yoruba are not that greed and they are wise enough to think of the future before acting. You guys will make a mistake your child will cause you for in the future.

This should be moved to the front page so that the stand of Imo State people should be known. Imo State suffered the highest casualty in the Biafran war and till today still has the most number of pro-Biafra communities but this latest Biafra has put us off because it has political undertone and consists mostly of PDP supporters who are minority in Imo State. I will be proved right once again when these people are attacked by Imo citizens in support of APC should they attempt to disrupt businesses.
chinology: This jobless old man, focus on your useless and worthless imo state. The only horrible and unpassable federal road in the SE is the Owerri section of the PH expressway. Stop deceiving yourself here unless you want me to prove you wrong with pictures.

Statements like this are the reason Anambra (and perhaps Enugu) just might be on their own in the quest for their own country. You'll be hard-pressed to find an Igbo man from any other state arguing about superiority unprovoked (usually by people from a certain axis). I don't care which southern country we join - Niger Delta, Cameroon whatever, as long as we aren't part of a dysfunctional country where religious war is imminent and the least contributors believe they have the birthright of leadership. Nnamdi Kanu better check that he has the support of other Igbo states before embarking on what might be a futile endeavour. It is not a given that all Igbo groups are in support of secession at this time or led by him.

Good you checkmated that guy's 'misyarning'. But the other digression of yours remains your personal opinion.
Owerri zone is for IPOB. Any group not interested in going with the majority in IPOB can always choose the alternative - OduaArewanistan republic.
