Why disturb us with Biafra?
FUll disclosure: I am a full blown Yoruba man with no blood ties to other ethic group.
I usually feel unconcerned by the secession proponent because I strongly believe any group of people have the right to determine what is best for them. AND THAT INCLUDE THE CALL FOR BIAFRA.

Ordinarily, I also don't give a damn about the operation of the so called radio biafra because truth-be-told NADECO also operated a radio station! BUT the only difference is that NADECO did not incite the people against the nation and I don't recall any call by NADECO for people to take up arms. We have read the reports of the call for 1 million rifles and 1 million men to carry the rifles. This is where I get concerned and particularly because I see a huge disconnect in recent history and this hypocritical call for the cessation movement.

June 12 elections was cancelled and the rest is history. But do we remember the role played by the Association of Better Nigerians (ABN) - better known as the Area Boys of Nigeria. That association was in the fore front of clamoring for the cancellation of that election and seek the elongation of the Babangida regime. That association was created by a prominent Igbo man - Aurthur Nzeribe. The question is where were the secessionist wailing babies when one of their prominent fathers pioneered the extension of a military regime led by a Hausa man at the detriment of their southtern brothers/neighbours?

We all know (except for a few babies on nairaland) the amazing role played by another prominent Igbo son - Daniel Kanu in the call for the extension of yet another military junta led by non other than the infamous Abacha. May we ask again why there was no call for Biafra creation. Daniel Kanu also form an organisation call Youth Earnerstly Ask for Abach (YEAA) and organised 1-million man march in supporto of Abacha's proposed transition from military to civilian president. I guess Nnamdi Kanu hadn't received his Biafra calling at that time. By the way, I will like to see how Buhari will respond to this man when he tries to renew his Nigerian Passport

We also know of a certain Ifeanyi Uba who also setup TAN to campaign for GEJ's second term bid. Yet again the wailers didn't see the need to call for Biafra and in fact supported and campaigned for GEJ's second term bid as Nigerian president.

Honestly, all of the above cases didn't pain me. The one that infuriate me the most is the fact that the father of Biafra himself the late IKEMBA OJUKWU FORMED A POLITICAL PARTY AND CONTESTED ELECTION TO BE PRESIDENT, MANY OF THESE WAILING BABIES DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM!!!

All of a sudden they hypocritically remember "Their Was a Country" to be re-created when their hero GEJ lost woefully in the last election. Now they will not let us rest and asking fo0lish question why the Yorubas are not calling for cessation? Well we also ask why should the some people alway seek the approval of other tribes to validate their ego. Is this not a big sign of low self esteem?

Thank God their is life outside the internet. I have met and worked with many Igbos in real life and they are very reasonable people and far from the wailing babies on Nairaland.

One word 4 d igbo dis time 'greed'

Have u finished talking? Oya go and rest

jeki won mo

and i should read all of this

donholy28:
Have u finished talking? Oya go and rest

U don't av anything to say with all d points raised?Na wa oooooo.What a dumb clan.

Bcoz the south west is satisfied with what they have.

Wow!!!!! deep one bro... a very apt compliation of the political prostitution of the AGIP tribe.

Well they may suddenly have woke up to discover their interest in the Nigerian state is not guaranteed nor secured hence their agitation.

I still see the igbos sabotaging this move. My thoughts though.

thanks bro, Ibos una don hear?

The question still remains, why are south west not clamouring for secession

alrahmanonline:

if one is pleased with is position,why agitating.

rubbish as usual.......but when the elders of the south west sold the same abiola for a pot of porridge this grown man didn't remember that......for the 8 years of obasanjo he refused to immortalise june 12 as democracy day.....he didn't even recognise abiola.......how is that an igbo mans problem? When the same abiola made sure that awo never became president,how is that the igbo mans problem? I think its best this yoruba op should desist from this hypocritical advice to the igbos and face your people...... Do not support the way this biafra thing is going on and I will definately not support foo.lish rants like these.....

OK

Mature, enlightened and successful igbos no longer clamour for the disintegration of Nigeria. They have either been bought over by the great wealth Nigeria has created for them or they are just tired. It is mostly disgruntled and frustrated youth that seek violent secession.

Like the author aptly pointed out, Ojukwu was abandoned by his own people during election. They preferred the PDP over the more indigenous APGA.

Not long ago, there was great need for a Sovereign National Conference to be established and empowered by the National Assembly. It's sovereignty would have granted it the power to renegotiate the unity of Nigeria. GEJ kicked against it then set up his advisory National conference instead and spent billions to fund the powerless gathering. Where were the igbos? That was their chance to negotiate out of the country yet they openly supported GEJ's powerless jamboree.

Now you are screaming marginalisation and chasing after one charlatan running an illegal radio station.

You see why Biafra remains a mirage? Playing the victim will not actualize your dreams.

Gbayi OP , your head is there

I think the reason why Yorubas aren't clamoring for secession is just

Yorubas are the oldest tribe / culture, they've seen wars and memoirs from wars , they prefer to remain neutral except when incited and study yorubas well , not perfect, but whatever they do , they do what everybody will benefit from

Yorubas are satisfied , remember the old Oyo empire was self sufficient and they did well , Yorubas don't want everything to themselves, they just want enough .

God bless you brother I think I still need to write to them

^^^^ The clamour for biafra started way back 1967 and not ur foolish rants. Now lemme remind u why the hoerubas are not clamouring for cessation? The answer is, PARASITISM.

make una no blame this guy. He's from Kwara state where Yoruba sell their birthright give Fulani. Na when you mention Igbo. You ever hear yoruba open mouth, criticize or talk against Fulani?
As for me am done with one Nigeria

meccuno:
rubbish as usual.......but when the elders of the south west sold the same abiola for a pot of porridge this grown man didn't remember that......for the 8 years of obasanjo he refused to immortalise june 12 as democracy day.....he didn't even recognise abiola.......how is that an igbo mans problem? When the same abiola made sure that awo never became president,how is that the igbo mans problem? I think its best this yoruba op should desist from this hypocritical advice to the igbos and face your people...... Do not support the way this biafra thing is going on and I will definately not support foo.lish rants like these.....

Shame on you!!
Is this all you can say? Is the topic about June 12? Did you not read where I said "and the rest is history"? Is June 12 the only point I raised?
Confab was constituted last year and the SW was clamoring for regional autonomy; state police etc. If you online Biafra warriors had mounted pressures and gathered support for your representatives to also ask for similar reform, Biafra would have been much easier. Guess what your reps asked for - an extra state in NIGERA! Why should your reps agigate for an extra state/stake in country you now desperately want to leave. Hypocrites!
A really big shame on you

We too much for south- west abeg

Coz they're cowards. They don't wanna upset their Masters up North

Adindupeter:

So who is the real slave here? The one that perpetually setup organisation for the elongation of the northern regime's tenure or the one that asked for regional autonomy at the last confab.
Use your head dude. I bet by 2018 as we have seen in recent history, we will see another igbo man asking buhari to continue for another term.

ur writeup's good, though u started being insultive in ur replies. Back to ur point above, individuals have right of association n choice, so that doesnt define majority of a set of ppl. Majority of s/w were against gej regime, yet folks like ffk, fayose, afenifere, abati etc pitched tent with him. Does that generalize d s/wners were clamouring 4gej come back? Its evident that u're focusing on person than issue.
