MrEverest:
Which country has ever moved its capital to the coast Nigeria moved its capital from Lagos(coast) to Abuja(central). Brazil moved its own from Rio De Janeiro to Brazilia. Cote D Ivoire moved its own from Abidjan to Yammousukro & several others. Owerri or anywhere in Imo or Abia state will be chosen because of their central location but I believe Biafra will be best suited to follow the SA model with 3 capitals then these cities would be chosen Enugu & P.Harcourt, Uyo/Calabar.


Nigeria did not move its capital to Abuja, The North found a way to corner Nigeria capital project to the NORTH.

Did u not hear Gaddafi say Lagos should be the capital of the south and Abuja the capital of the North and that Nigeria should be divided North and South.


The problem in the North is the Arabic influence and people of the MiddleEast often funding terrorism and arab agenda against a pan- african agenda.


This is y Nigeria needs an igbo president that is Pan-African.


As for capital, Accra the capital of Ghana is on the coast. Biafra is too close to the sea to place the capital anywhere but the coast.


It is not a very Big country and similar to Ghana. Oduduwa capital will also be on the coast, most likily Lagos.


In my opinion, the capital of Biafra should be somewhere inbetween Bayelsa and Rivers.


It should not be in Igbo land as the minorities will screem domination, it should be somewhere within nearest proximity to their domain.

Dat is d major problem of d Igbo Biafran agitators! They lack diplomacy, respect for others opinion nd ar very agressiv. These hypocrites cry of bin unda oppresion in Nigeria, yet they want to annex d lands of d minorities witout dia consent nd against dia wish. These Igbo Biafra pipo don't believ in dialogue because they lack respect for Niger Deltans. Dat is why we Urhobo-Isoko pipo ar not interestd in joinin dia Biafra; prefer to remain Nigerians.

First of all i am against Biafra reason being i believe we have more to gain in a united Nigeria than Biafra.... i will be glad if West Africa becomes one nation even

In all fairness Port Harcourt should be the capital or say uyo

Biafra offers resources control in it 25 provinces so Niger Deltans have nothing to fear

The centre is designed to be more of ceremonial as it will be mostly concerned with defence and external affairs

If we have provinces that's are strong there will be no dominated group

Igbos for a fact want the south south not for oil but for added population and access to the sea that's the truth

They will be the beautiful bride, since they reason like women and display their ignorance on every thread.

Attacking igbos whilst OBJ bomb their villages and collect their God given wealth.

Hausa Fulani bomb their village and collect their God given wealth.

Each this happens they run to igbos for help and support, only to turn around and stab us in the back.

To pay for the back stabbing, they are going to be Biafrans, by fire and by force, fcuck diplomacy, we will send in a battalion of Biafra infantry division to secure our territories.

First u must collapse the colonial borders created by the white man and allow for natural Africa groups to set up country based on similarities.

It is a process that is very possible. The colonial borders and nation are a hinderance to a United States of African.

They were created for the sole purpose of divide and rule.

Tell me y yorubas will be in Nigeria and others will be in Benin Republic or is it Hausa in Nigeria and the others in Niger Republic, Benin and Burkina Faso?

Re: Why Niger Deltans Won't Subscribe To The Biafran Movement by Greenback: 11:37am On Nov 22, 2016
pazienza:

1. Biafra proposes a form of government where each province will have total control of her resources and only contribute to the centre.
In Biafra, smaller groups like Oron, Eket, Andoni can unite and have their own province with full resource control and pay tax to the central government.
There won't be any land use decree.
IPOB had stressed on this times without number. Even Ojukwu Biafra was divided into provinces,with non Igbo speaking tribes having their own distinct provinces with indigenous administrators.
You need nobody to checkmate Igbos under such arrangement.
And moreover, naturally, Igbos exist in clans that do checkmate each other, there have never in history been a period when Igbo groups United to conquer a non Igbo speaking people.

2. Why should the capital location be an issue, since it's not going to be a case where people were milked dry so that FG and go build up Lagos and Abuja?
It will be all province for themselves.
We can apply the three capital system of RSA. The legislative in one Province, the judiciary will be hosted by another province and the Executive by another, all these can be negotiated.

3. This is totally irrelevant. Truth remains that Ndiigbo had never annexed non Igbo lands in the past. Arochukwu was only one that was annexed, but when you factor in the fact that Arochukwu was won by a union of Aro, Ibibio and Akpa( Ekoid) people, then it could hardly be termed annexation.
Ndiigbo are not empire builders. Annexation and expansionism is not our trait. We are republicans by nature.
No Nigerian state government was ever going to approve being part of Biafra, even. Enugu state government denied Biafra. So citing Delta state government response is quite irrelevant to the issue of Biafra. Nobody expected any different response. But IPOB and their Biafran ideology is well received by the commoners in Enu ani, which is why Asaba is an IPOB stronghold.

4. This again is a trivial matter. Each province will have their own language and English as their official language.
English will remain the lingua franca.
But this is quite funny. You are scared of an Igbo national language, but comfortable with an English non African lingual franca.

The scenario you painted of someone being denied position because of ethnicity will not happen with the structure Biafra intends to run on. The provinces will be stronger and more lucrative than the centre. It won't be the case of Nigeria.
Moreover, I personally don't subscribe to a Biafra with Ijaw, Edo and Edoids( Urhobo, Itsekiri, Isoko), when I think of Biafra, I think of Igbo, Igboids and AkwaCross, cos these are people we share similar ideologies with.

Infact, I'm only replying you because you stated that you are from AkwaCross area .
So my use of Biafra during the course of my reply represents strictly Igbo, Igboid and AkwaCross and maybe Ogoni.

5. Igbos are often the subject of caustic attacks by those groups you mentioned, which I personally don't consider part of Biafra.
Go to Ijaw facebook pages, Radio Niger Delta, and even here in NL and see the amount of hatred towards Ndiigbo emanating from those quarters.
How many times have you seen Igbos hurl insults at AkwaCross people? Rarely. Why? Because you hardly get Igbophobia in AkwaCross area. AkwaCross people are all over Aba, they understand the Igboman and the Igbo man understand them, they don't show us hate, and in return we don't show them hate.

This generation Of Ndiigbo know better. We will not allow Igbophobic elements whether from
Ijaw, Edo, Edoids or Yoruba go unpunished. We will reply them with so much hate that even lucifer will marvel. Actions must be met with reactions.
So, if you think we are hurling insults at those children of hate, then you are John snow, cos what you are seeing is only just the beginning.
Peeps must be forced to learn that Igbophobia will not be tolerated by Ndiigbo, simple.
I have no intent of sharing Biafra with those people, it's only natural that they stick to their Arewa masters, you know what they say of birds of same feather. cool

6. Again Nnamdi had made it clear he has no political ambitions in Biafra. Even if he does, the kind of structure Biafra intends to run on will make the centre only ceremonial, it won't be same all powerful Nigerian president.
Ndiigbo had no problem with Obong of Calabar rulling the Eastern region house of Chiefs ahead of Eze Nri , Eze aro, Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnewi, etc. We had no problem with Eyo ita ruling the Eastern region , Adaka was voted by Ndiigbo in UNN as the SUG

brethren,pls stop this,we edos know there aint any future for us in the zoo and we have long chosen to tag along with ipob. Only the ignorant and hopeless and losers amongst us see the zoo as eldorado. I am ur brother,we are brethren,along with the ijaws.
