kayjegs: The problem we still have in Nigeria is that we are never sincere with ourselves. You will never see the Elite Igbo clamouring for Biafra. Please ask any Elite Igbo who stays in Lagos you know if he is really in support of Biafra now. And that he is ready to move to the East and start Biafra. Most the guys commenting here that are Igbos wont want to join in the struggle for Biafra. They can only post on nairaland and talk as if they are very patriotic. The Elite Igbos will just be laughing at these things. I dont want to sound sentimental here but sincerely if it was the Yoruba that wants to agitate to leave Nigeria, it will be successful because before they make such proposal, many plans would havce been underway and it would have gotten to an extent whereby when you ask any Yoruba person, literate or illiterate, Elite or not, they will say the same thing but Igbos would not do that. This is the problem. I am indifferent about Biafra, if it is the best thing to do now, then go ahead and plan it well but sincerity is never there. The so called Organizer abroad is using this to make more money. It is very simple. There are many funds for Rights activism, democracy agitations out there for NGOs which he just wants to benefit from and sees this as an opportunity to organize his Igbo brothers to achieve this aim. My advice to Igbo guys about this Diaspora guy when he comes, tell him to bring all his family along and stay on ground here to fight the cause instead of stying out there and doing this.
We will all know if Biafra will exist or not from sincerity in the heart of the Igbos but for now, we cant see it. I dont really mind if Nigeria divides so that things can work out well. Before you say, why didnt Yoruba agitate too, take note that for Yorubas now, there is no reason to agitate. If Igbos wants to go, the Yorubas, Hausas, South-South cant hold you down.

ilugunboy: Insha Allah....when you guys go in December....You shall never and ever return again.

We can do with the space.

Population target i guess and a good marketing strategy I think.
The part of Islamic banking makes ♍e to laugh. Islamic banking is zero interest rate, can an igbo man cope with that?

eduson55: so what do you call me?

ilugunboy: Biafra... It's an Utopian country of some deluded people that populates a part of Eastern Nigeria that speaks Igbo as language. The history before 1914 of these group is not well documented.

---Wikipedia.

Eze Promoe: This Biafra thing no be joke again o! Even radio stations are beginning to talk about it. I first heard the news on Wazobia fm. Chai! Nna e! Gini ga emezi container mu no na Apapa! Gini g'eme plaza m di na Ikoyi, Alaba na Idumota. Ndi owambe a ga fo eburu ihe a m ji ego ikem a me! O! Abuja chai, chai! Kano o *crying* Jos *crying aloud* Maiduguri *runs to the street shouting* Chineke me e! Anwukanum o!

bashr8: oh they are deluded now , thought you want them to leave lagos alone, honestly some of you yorubas have mental issues.

Zeus I: A ragtag organisation of barbarian states which serves the purpose of cowardly-violence, and a grand dream of Awo and Abiola. 'O' for 'Odudua'(the mythical yoruba ancestors. 'P' for 'Peoples'(rifraffs actually). 'C' for 'Congress'(gathering of confused men).

ilugunboy:

My guy sharrapova your mouth dia! No be una dey clamor for Biafra? Since 1967 we never i hear another word.... na so so shout of Biafra every second.

kayjegs:

I will ask you these question: In your heart of hearts,what do you think of this Biafra movement? What have you contributed to seeing this acheived? I mean have you talked with friends like you? Have you enlightened people on why there must be Biafra? Do you really understand what it takes to get it done? How much has been spent on this dream? Before you say, 'Why spending?'..for any movement to be successful, there must be some regular and serious funding from Individuals, Organizations or even Sovereign States...Do you think Boko Haram will still exist if there were no regular funding of their activities? During the Civil rights movements in America in those days, don't you know it was funded by people who understood the dream, many organizations rose up, encouraged and sponsored many of those movements. Guy, there are many things that needs to be considered and taken into perspective. As for many of my Elite Igbo friends, they are not seeing it the way you are seeing it. I think I have made some points here.....

Mr. Globe:

I get irritated that whenever Lagos is mentioned, low lifes like you bring up yorobberland. Is lagos the only south west state.
opc can do nothing. nobody is afraid of opc.

Ji_sun_pack: These biafrogs are really really confused. Lagos? ? why not aba or nnewi?

I think OPC should make a public statement, cos we won't allow these biafrogs to be causing nuisance in south west.

Jaidey-one:
Rotlfmao... These biafrog retar*ds don't cease to amaze me. See these clowns o? It's funny how they claim Lagos would be deserted if they leave. Enter any office in Lagos and u'll see that at least 60% of the employees are Yorubas. Lagos would only be deserted in your dreams. You donkeys should carry your bags and go. There are a lot of Yoruba graduates all over the south west that would take over your jobs once you leave.

geeez:

The Niger Deltans have consistently denied being Igbo or Biafra in any way. Everyone's wiser now. You can take them hostage any longer

bashr8: stop jumping around like a monkey , its either you dont want them to go and stop complaining or you want them to go then support them . insults wont get you anywhere.

Mr.chippychappy:
I made a post earlier on here https://www.nairaland.com/912769/biafra-independence/1#12298396 about this same issue . The only way this BZM guys can make progress is by following some if not all of the steps below


@chippychappy,
You just said it all.Quite a number of posters here are myopic and ethnocentric in their presentations.And that makes me wonder the standard of education we get these days.
I believe that the ibos are well aware of the necessary steps to be taken to actualize their biafran dream.However,I'm of the opinion that the people that matter(the stakeholders in iboland) that will make it happen are very much reluctant to take the steps, majorly because of their interests in terms of investments beyond the boundaries of the biafran colony.And it will take more than mere protests to get these guys to sign on.The ibos are very resilient set of beings(quoting a Yoruba professor).No ethnic group in
Nigeria would suffer as much as the ibos did during the civil war and still have a hold on the Nigerian economy the way they do today.There's hardly any sector in the country today that is devoid of the ibo man's ingenuity and craftiness.That having been said,the way the Nigerian state is going currently,I'm certain the sovereignity of biafran state will be achieved someday.But the big question is WHEN.

Ediiot.........I've always pray for the day you off-springs of cannibals will get out of our ancestral land.

Bolan123: My warning to d yorubas is for them to stop opposing the Biafran course. We are ready to confront our enemies. If they join our enemies, we will not be sending our hit squad to Lagos headed by a Banjo but one headed by Ikechukwu. We will be more ruthless this time. We are ready to die for dis course. For all of u talking rubbish here let d Igbo man loose his business, dat is when u will knw how deadly he can be. What nigeria has succeeded in doing by allowing Igbos loose their properties and loved ones in the north is to create a human with deadly mindset waiting to explode and ready to die. If Nigeria is making living hard for us, we are more than ready to make living hard for them.

bashr8: A yoruba man that still pratice cannibalism openly calling someone else cannibal , wonder shall never end, soon you will have only your mothers and brothers to use for ritualism and cannibalism like you have been doing throughout this year
