Here are my points and their reactions so far (correlate them with the initial issues I raised): 1. They say they no longer want Urhobo-Isoko and Itsekiri anymore. At least one of them confirmed this. I am glad they are no longer interested. That was documented and saved. 2. They say I should provide PROOF that minorities are not interested in Biafra . This thread alone is PROOF. How many people from minority tribes have come to counter my postulations? NONE!!! How many have come to support me? MANY!!! The truth is glaring. I even posted links to official statements from these groups and they said it was political. 3. The whole thread is a big show of emotional rambling, rather than arguments by reason. None failed to see through the veil and face the facts. They simply had to show their stripes. 4. The Lugardian spirit is still very much active. They hide under the ruse of a referendum to annexe SS and minority tribes. Have we asked for a referendum via any means? Only the Igbos have asked for one and why are they shoving it down our throats? They want distinct and unrelated ethnic groups from various linguistic roots in their new nation. What makes it different from Nigeria? None can answer. Promised land indeed. 5. Only one or two persons have made intellectually oriented statements here. The rest are more concerned with defending the IGBO RACE, over and above their so-called brothers in BIAFRA. Intellectuals would know when to fight and when to be sombre and talk like adults. The ones that came with the intent of derailing this thread all failed woefully and I showed them, in the real spirit of Urhobo, that I am better than them and above their level by far. Again, I wish the Biafrans well. I just hope I have been able to substantiate my issues via this thread! We all can see the truth oozing from this thread like the mene mene tekel upharsin! My work here is done!!! 7 Likes 1 Share

fratermathy: That is to show you how objectively minded the Biafrans are. 2. They say I should provide PROOF that minorities are not interested in Biafra . This thread alone is PROOF. How many people from minority tribes have come to counter my postulations? NONE!!! How many have come to support me? MANY!!! The truth is glaring. I even posted links to official statements from these groups and they said it was political.Empirical proof of your 1% claim is still awaited If you argued with reason and facts, you would have supported your assertions with verifiable empirical evidences. Are you guilty of same offense as you acuse Biafrans?
To prove you are biased, let me ask you a rhetorical quesrion: Did Lugard conduct Referendum before merging North and South together? I read a gamut of sentiment from your point of reference. Biafrans are calling for Referendum, not a forced marriage as you acknowledged in #1
You are in the habit of acusing others over a fault highly exhibited by you. Last time I checked, this thread is crafted to defend ethnic minorities in which you are one. ?? ?? You ended up confirming all intelligent observations and allegations leveled against you based on your unfounded and sentimental premises. In the end, VOX POPULI, VOX DEI. 10 Likes

modik:Tell a whole lot of lies to yourself to massage your ego. As it stands, every region has its secession plan, save the Hausas. They are not ready because they rely on the Oil in the Delta, at least, pending when oil would be discovered in Benue and the Basin. The Yorubas have the Afenifere who has always made their interest known as piloting the Odùduwà region, just as the Delta areas have been whispering the Niger Delta region. So trust me, until 2/3 of the Delta scream Biafra, know that a referendum of the entire region is nothing but a pipeline dream. Unfortunately, the 'contraption' is the brain child of the late Nnamdi Azikiwe. The Hausas never wanted to be a part but he claimed other regions needed them. Therefore, if there is anyone you should be cussing and cursing for your woes, it is none other than the late Zik who thought to wake hornets with fire. So tell me again, what is it the ideology of Biafra that the Hausas and some Yoruba people share? 6 Likes 1 Share |

Sanchez01: The greatest lie is that told against the dead(Zik) For the sake of historic fact, let me bring you to speed by telling you what you already know : 1. When was Zik born? (hint, flip your N500 note for answer) 2. When was the Northern and Southern Protectorates merged by Lord Lugard ("The contraption"... ) 3.How old was Zik of Africa then? Your objective response to the above questions go further to corroborate the unbalanced and sentimental viewpoint as already established on here about the OP and his fellow comrades. Biafrans remain objective irrespective of whose ox is gored. 1 Like |

modik:It is laughable to know most of don't even understand the history of Nigeria, let alone come out to talking about it. I guess it was never revealed to you that the late Zik threatened the North in 1953 for wanting to pull out of the 'contraption'? https://www.nairaland.com/2583553/1953-nnamdi-azikiwe-speech-secession The video is somewhere on YouTube. What you guys are presently clamoring for had longed been sought after by the North which met them with stiff opposition. Had Zik let them leave with ease, we would not be in the mess we are in today. Flora and the husband might have christened the country Nigeria and lumped all parts together, but the one man who made sure no one left and even signed an anti-secession pact is none other than the late Nnamdi Azikiwe. If you are to blame or curse anyone, be sure it is him. I asked a question and it is interesting to know you can't answer prolly because you don't know it. I ask again, what is the ideology of Biafra? 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Sanchez01: The issue here is use of English and semantics. Pardon me for mismatched elitism. The contention is distortion/misplacement of facts. You mentioned the contraption as Zik's "brainchild " which is wrong. He supported the idea, but never originated it. See the meaning of brainchild as attached. 3 Likes

modik:Quite true. I take that blame. Again, the 'contraption' might have been birthed by a Brit, it does not take away the fact that an Igbo man moved against the Hausas when they considered leaving the 'contraption'. It is pretty much interesting to know that his speech and anti-secession pact which is coming to haunt most Igbos today is not being frowned at. If there seems to be an anomaly anywhere, it is allowing the Hausas stay against their wish. For the umpteenth time, what is the Biafran ideology? 4 Likes |

After all the seemingly new found maturity from OP,opening a well constructed thread to get "answers",this is the childish post he used to wrap it up.

Sanchez01: Thanks for re-establishing the position of unbiased Biafrans with respect to setting records straight. For the rest of your concerns, all I have to say is that Igbos can never live in the past. A dynamic set of people understand their mistakes and correct themselves without external influence. I have a parable to lay on the table for you and I will interpret : "Anaghi agwa onye mara Ihe ka O site n'okpuru anyanwu wesuga onwe ya" Meaning, only a fool waits for others to remind him to channge his position from under the heated sun rays. I rest my case. enjoy your day. 2 Likes 1 Share |

fratermathy: 1) You're wrong, most of the pro-Biafra Igbos here never wanted Urhobo people in our country. Both Ikechu10 and I tried to explain this to you but, as is customary with you, you chose to ignore those comments as they did not fit your agenda. 2) Nope. We're asking you to provide proof of your outlandish claim that only 1% of the people in the minority tribes of the South-South want to leave Nigeria. If you're going to make such an outrageous claim and you expect people to take you seriously, then you need to back it up with hardcore evidence. 3) Nobody is taking you seriously because you made that outlandish claim, stated above, and refused to support it with hardcore evidence or humble yourself and admit that you were over exaggerating. 4)This is your agenda and has been the recurring theme in many of your posts in this thread. It seems to me that any post that doesn't fit this agenda is either ignored by you completely or twisted to fit it, just as you did by refusing to respond to my posts directly. 5) I agree, and none of them have been from you. As someone who has been in numerous debates before, I've learnt that when you make an argument you need to have some evidence to back it up. If we're talking about "intellectual debate" here then, sorry, many of your posts don't even scratch the surface. Using a more extensive vocabulary does not make your argument any more valid or intellectual . 8 Likes 1 Share |
