You love Biafra, you want Biafra, you dream Biafra and you will die for Biafra. You see Ojukwu as your Hero and the leader of the Biafra nation and yet you refused voting for him in 2003 presidential elections. Even in 2007 presidential elections, Majority of the people in "Biafra Land" did not vote for their hero Ojukwu and thereby blowing the only chance they had to give Biafra a teeth. One interesting fact is that, in 2003, Ojukwu got only 3 votes in Bayelsa State, 27 in Delta, etc. In 2007, he recorded just 155,947 vote which represented a meager 0.44% of the total votes. He did not win any state in "Biafra Land". He could not even amass 5% of the total vote cast in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, etc. Yet you claim and cling to the Biafra dream as if you are ready for Biafra. Kepp deceiving yourself, it pays to do so. What baffles me is; biafra dream ends on Facebook, twitter and on Radio Biafra. Ojukwu, a well trusted and respected Igbo son was rejected by his people at the polls and you think the "guy man" Nnamdi Kalu will do better. Keep dreaming, but don't fail to take malaria medicine when you wake up. As for me, I still stand for one united and prosperous Nigeria were justice, equality and respect for all reigns supreme irrespective of where you came from. A country were equal opportunity is given to everyone and promotions, rewards and appointments are merit based. A country were nepotism, sectionalism and tribal sentimentality are eschewed. This is the Nigeria we all can work for and make it happen. Biafra will never be the answer because even if Biafra is given, the Biafra nation will be hijacked by the same old greedy Igbo leaders (OUK's, T.A Orji's, Achike Udenwa's, etc.) who only stand for their belly. Biafra will only end up making few people richer and more Igbo's impoverished. Let's believe in Nigeria and Nigeria will be great again

Do not judge by the elections you quoted. Those elections were conducted by Obasanjo(the saint) and we all know how flawed those elections were. By the way,there would never be equality and justice in Nigeria with this structure still in place. The only way we can realize equality and justice is through agitations. If you think the Nigerian state would be fair to you (that is,if you are really from the East),then, you are joking because the country has been setup to serve some ethnic groups while holding others to ransom.

For me the issue of biafra is a very difficult one.
I can see clear government policies targeted against igbos.. ... No one can deny that fact. .....
I don't trust our present igbo leadership and the so called nnamdi kalu is making the same mistake ojukwu made, which is... MAKING BAIFRA AN IGBO MOVEMENT, for this to work we need our south south brothers I tell u..... not for there oil no.... but to have access to the ocean
So my resolution is that we should push for a regional government and then make good tires with the South-south.
Aba and onisha have great potential to be great industrial and commercial centres... .. . We can make it happen. ... .

Quite on point. The Igbos here feels that whosoever expresses his feelings or views on Biafran Issues that are not pleasing to them is a Yoruba or Hausa person. There are a lot of south-south people here like myself. The much talked about Nnamdi Kanu is still making the same old mistakes made by Ojukwu by co opting the people of Niger Delta into a struggle they were never consulted, no agreement BTW the tribes existing in the old eastern region about secession plan etc. They just woke up and call everywhere "Biafra". Things doesn't work that way. What was the input of other tribes in suggesting a name for the would be new country? Come to Rivers state which is my state, Akwa Ibom Bayelsa Delta etc. People don't seems to be interested in anything Biafra. All I hear about Biafra are all on social media and radio Biafra that's all.
