If Igbos want to secede, please let them go. I believe it's even the Igbos that would be mostly affected. What will happen to those who already have properties in Lagos and places like Kano? Do they think they'll be given dual citizenship to enjoy Biafra and Nigeria together? Do they think the Niger-Delta will follow them? Let them think again o. . . Starting a new country isn't all about making noise.

Why didn't he seek diplomatic means for the injustice? when gowon offered a violence free solution in the form of making each region Confederates what Did ojukwu do?

he was just bent on war because he could not live with the fact that gowon who he considers his junior and inferior in education was made a head of state in his place.

Did you say this same thing when Bokoharam hoisted flag, established emirates in Nigeria's territory, killed and abducted many?

nairalandist:


Bro... I don't trade insults with people. Whatever you're
thinking is none of my business, I only gave facts that even you as an Igbo man must sit down and think about and ask yourself the true ideology behind MASSOB and Biafra.

I am a Yoruba man, a proud one too, but I love my Hausa and Igbo brothers cos I have good friends from all tribes. But ask yourself one true question; Even amongst you Igbos, is there true unity? I've seen cases where people from Okija don't like other Igbos from Owerri. . . I'm just saying the solution might not be in seceding. Tribalism has eaten deep into the Igbos that they see all other tribes as rivals. Life isn't so. . .

But did you see the millions in Aba today and all over the world who heeded his call to hold a memorial for fallen ones?

Nnamdi Kalu is conquering with the truth.

I Hope your mumu director will bring his children to fight HIS war! that is How ojukwu used our men and killed millions of our children just to settle a personal ego clash!

I agree with you o
Igbos will gain very little from Biafra.
If they are to secede with just their five states they will be landlocked within Nigeria. I have seen some people in Nairaland say that other countries many other countries are landlocked and still doing well. Biafra is different from the other countries because they would be surrounded by Nigeria and would still need permission from the Nigeria government to move goods and services including food to their area. Nigeria is not an easy place for foreigners to do business in and Biafra would be at the mercy of the Nigerian governement. There are only two countries in the world that are surrounded by another country and I wouldn't call them successful.
If Biafra was to become a country, they would definitely be seriously sanctioned by the Nigerian government. I read a comment here saying international organizations would sanction Nigeria. Many African countries depend on Nigeria to survive. If Nigeria hurts so would they so western countries would be wary of sanctioning Nigeria. Biafra on the other hand would be just another small African state. Biafra would not enjoy the economic, diplomatic and political power that Nigeria has. The government would get to pick and choose the most successful Igbos who want to remain in Nigeria send the rest back to Biafra. This would also make overpopulation worse in Igboland.

Although Nigeria is struggling right now, we are still doing better than many other African countries. We have the 20th biggest GDP in the world which is set to rank in the top 10 biggest economy by 2050 and if we have a great leader we can be in the top 5.

Nigeria's GDP per capita is nothing to be happy about compared to western countries but it is higher than most other African countries including Kenya and Ghana. What we need in Nigeria is a capable leader to make Nigeria great.

If Igbos really want to leave Nigeria, then who am I to stop them. I just hope for their sake that they consider all the repercussions seccession would cause. I pray and hope for and stronger, more unified and better Nigeria everyday. We all need each other, wether we're Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Fulani, etc.

noblezone:

Ojukwu did not make any mistake.
Our people were being slughtered like goats by Nigerians.
They ran home and declared Biafra.
The slave traders who created Nigeria supplied guns to Nigerians so they could kill feloow Africans the more.
We lost the war, but we have not lost our spirit nor our identity.
Long Live Biafra.

leke12:
All the lazy igbos wey dey make mouth for here are just frustrated and ill informed. Biafra is a FRAUD, its only southern protectorate(southwest, south south and south east) dat can secede at once not some criminals looking for amnesty.

MrCcf:

U have just displayed the level of stupidity typical of the yoyobas. Even a rockie in psychology can sense ur fear and insecurity from that bullcrap u posted here. I pity whoever that is sponsoring your education. So embarrassing

EasternPride:
OP, I am live in Aba, soldiers, police, NSCDC, Navy full everywhere, they aren't even leaving their functions of manning the roads.

You or any man born of woman, can't try anything here. We go die here, all of us, that's why we came out, even if you see crowd, u go know we came out with either we die or we live, one

apolonius:
Any tribe or zone that wants to secede should be allowed.These guys who can't even form a political cohesion for any national action are just deluding themselves.

Yes,the Igbo youths are hungry for an experiment of nationhood,but their leaders and elders are mostly corrupt and easy to compromise.

The senate under OBJ was an opportunity to illustrate this greedy elitism.Enwerem was impeached by a group led by Nzeribe,then Okadigbo benefitted and followed,then Wabara was another nutcase highlight.

Again,the late Eze Igbo Gburugburu contested for the presidency under APGA and got how many votes?

Who were those who betrayed Ekwueme at the Jos PDP presidential primaries in 1999?You got it right,his kinsmen!

When the gadfly,Kalu,formed PPA and started a cross country for the presidency,the Ohaneze quickly double-crossed him and made an outer-nation choice.Same story when he made some noise for an Igbo presidency.

So,for the Igbo young men and women,Biafra is achievable.Yet either in Nigeria or your dreamland,Biafra Republic,your political and cultural elite remain your only obstacle to greater life and times!

The enemies of the Igbos are within.I pray the youth get wiser and channel their energies to purging their zone of these than expend it all on an utopia,Biafra!

Amadi45:

you are a nobody to judge them and their family affair,even d way you talk show that you shout at your mother and label lame allegations on her on her just to achieve your selfish interest.
why not support them to get what they want and allow them to settle their family issues themselves.

A very clear illustration of the very disturbing level of thinking that keeps truncating the Biafran dream. Rubbish!

too much hating on the Black man's progress these days...

So, Nigeria is not Black man's progress

stop this noise making. you are shaming reasonable igbos. boasting is a traits we igbos have in common But you should learn to put a hold on it.
