OgidiBoy: Why is it that the Igbos that are asked to pay this Biafran income tax are not crying and complaining, it's people that don't have anything to do with

Biafra that are were whining like babies.

Onlytruth: I don't understand the mindset of these MASSOB people, honestly!
Must they always start their campaigns by sacrificing Igbo (whether blood or tax!)? Can't they "liberate" us without they focusing on US (Igbo folks) instead of the enemy?

Scratching my head angrily!

donofdons: i go pay biafra income tax with biafra currency and not nigerian money.this na the latest way wey touts wan exploit people

TolaniLuv: Dear God almighty ! Please I am using this my mood of 5 days fasting to wish for only 2 things!

(1) You 're the only God that knoweth my problems please answer all my heart desired.

(2) please give Biafra back their rising sun land. So, that Nigerian will have a step forward at least this is what they want. Same thing happen in bible Let My People Go.

As a Yoruban , I wish all my people accept too I don't see why we should bad mouth em. We are all Nigerians but, we don't eat same food, speak same language, our clothe style is different! We are so different in culture/religion . North Korean/ South Korean have 80% things in common but, they are separated . Why can't igbos go?

Proudly Yoruba boi!

DarqChild: I do not support any biafran movement. I'll rather be a Nigerian than a biafran. Uwazurike is a big thief and only a strong leader can liberate and change this country. United we stand. Diving Nigerian will be the greatest mistake the igbos will ever make, mark my words. any day the 'biafra' dream comes to actualization I will become a Yoruba man. This thieves nearly killed everyone in Onitsha some few years back.....they are worse than bokoharam.

jmoore: Ndiara!!! lele, ha choro iri m. Biafran income tax is a ridiculous idea. Seriously? the more I hear of this ridiclous idea the more I believe MASSOB is filled with people with no hope, no good plans for the future.



They said the world is going to end in 2012 but here we are in 2013. 2015, Nigeria marching to greatness.

Many Igbos are against biafra including me, biafra is a failed dream. Biafra is a dead dream. It is only those who are ignorant that we link the biafra to igbos only. The second in command during the civil war on the biafran side was Philip Effiong a calabar man, many tribes apart from igbos were part of the biafran side.If you ask a calabar man today if he wants to be part of biafra he will certainly look at you as if you are a fool.
Ojukwu died as a Nigerian, Biafra is past and can never be present or future.

May God bless Nigeria

Ogoni militant: . You are a slowpoke, a saboteur a shameless harebrained cretin and a dimwit. You don't believe in Biafra, you better take your miserable life. The sun has risen again. I will pay my tax with all pleasure .

Onlytruth: Unless there is something NEW about taxes that I don't know, I believe that this is a VERY BAD IDEA.

First, it will allienate Ndigbo from MASSOB because I can bet my last penny that no one likes paying taxes, even in developed countries. So, MASSOB is walking a minefield here. That is even more the case when they MASSOB have contributed ZERO to the purses of people in Igboland. An organization that wants to liberate people should not start by adding their own YOKE to the people's neck.
What I expected MASSOB to do (if they are serious about Biafran independence) is to seek funding from RICH Igbo and other non-Igbo Biafran supporters. If they are honest enough and have enough integrity and probity, I believe that they will get funding, and make use of the funds judiciously.
Imagine people paying Nigerian income tax, only for MASSOB to show up again asking for tax! I don't understand the mindset of these MASSOB people, honestly!

berem: I am ready to pay my last kobo for the actualisation of Biafra. Nice one from MASSOB!

ilugunboy:

How old are you? Why are you ashamed to let us know you are Ibo?

PointB:

What kind of baloney is this? How does Igbos wanting to leave the union become a problem for Yoruba? Don't you have a future of your own? Aren't Yoruba once a great people before now? Does Igbo leaving Nigeria make Yoruba less a people they were before now?

Sentiment such as your are clearly borne of myopia. Every ethnic group that boast of 200,000 people can survive on their own. Sao Tome and Principe (?) is less than 200,000 people, while Cape Verde is about 500,000. They are not crying to you for hand-outs. And even Lesotho is a country completely encircled by the gaint South Africa. So what is the point? I

Mad Cow: If it walks like MASSOB, acts like MASSOB and talks like MASSOB... then it can be shot dead...


Zero Tolerance.

jmoore:

hahaha, the truth can be bitter. Majority of progressive Igbos are moving forward, they have buried biafra. Kids that know nothing about biafra keep spewing rubbish, go and find a job. Let anyone dare press my doorbell in the name of "biafran income tax" and I will put them in a spot they will regret forever. I am a Nigerian and I am Igbo.

So speaking the true facts means seh I no b Yoruba? Does it even matter? I'm Yoruba frm Ijebu Óde. I just wrote what I felt.

Dudu_Negro: DeLaRue,
nice response, im liking it!
biafran always has to prove his bravery; this is that proving ground.

DeLaRue: Shedding light on the extent they will go in collecting the tax, Madu said; “The collection of 2013 Biafran income tax will commence on February 16, throughout Biafra and Nigeria, where Biafrans reside, it is a mandatory tax, it is a mark of respect and honour to Biafra, a mandatory obligation for all Biafrans.”

For me, @[b]bolded[/b]is the most interesting part. So a bunch of nut-case Igbo thugs, parading themselves as tax collectors/freedom fighters, will board a bus from Abakaliki, to someone else's territory (Lagos for example)to start collecting tax? You want to prosecute your fight for independence in another man's territory?. Are we back to 1966 again?

Though we are not comparing like for like, it's in some ways similar to Nigeria going to Ghana to tax the Nigerians there. We (Yorubas and Igbos) are different peoples. We don't really know much about you people, and I suspect you people know little about us. But the least we can do is respect each other's space.

The issue of tax has a lot to do with sovereignty. Yorubas fought wars amongst themselves in the past about which Yoruba King was entitled to collect Tax. More than 200 years later, we now have a bunch of bloody foreigners wanting to collect tax on our territory!

They should make their claim for Independence (which I support), and if they feel the need to have a parallel tax regime, please restrict it to your territory.

Imagine Fasola's tax men collecting Tax in one spare parts shop and Nwazuruke will be in the next shop, asking where is my own tax money? This will amount to an affront on our sovereignty (which, though currently subsumed in the Federal pot nevertheless remains tangible) and can easily lead to violence on the streets.

Dede1: I should advise MASSOB to rethink this publicly announced taxation exercise termed “Biafran Income Tax”. Biafra has no currency or functional government that provides amenities to its people anywhere on earth today.

I think this political shenanigan labeled Biafran Income Tax remains a bad taste since it is publicly announced. There are better avenues to raise funds in support of the process for actualization of Biafra than this born-headed approach. By the way, the revenue drives for such human endeavor should be covertly engaged.

Unless this act of bravado is a decoy, I do not foresee any meaningful intent about it. I am in support of whatever contribution deemed necessary for actualization of Biafra but the reckless publicity that surrounds such exercise
