Where / What On Earth Is Biafra? by ezeagu(m): 6:52pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
Apart from the name Biafra having absolutely no value in any language in the general south east of Nigeria, I'm still confused as to where the majority of pro-Biafrans believe Biafra to be or better yet the lands they claim are part of a proposed Biafra. Personally, I'm against the creating of this microcosm of Nigeria called "Biafra" without any evidence of a clear plan for the upliftment of its proposed peopling. Apart from that, different Biafra groups are claiming 'Biafra' to just be Igboland, others are saying Biafra even includes Igala and Idoma people. Do the Igala and Idoma people even know what Biafra is talkless of whether they are part of it? And if it's Igboland, where is Igboland? Who does it include? So I ask, where and what on earth is Biafra? And if successful nations can usually be described as a people of a particular culture who speak a particular language, like Spanish people of Spain speak Spanish, German people of Germany speak German, English people of England speak English, then what do the Biafran people speak? The Biafran language? 1 Like |

. Not trying to derail the thread or something. I hate to comment on tribal talks. Also I do not comment just anyhow. But I must say, that now I know the spirit that enters people when they happen to be first to comment. U may tag this an irresponsible talk today, but u will say these words in a different way tomorrow when ure first to comment. So as they say, FTC!! I dedicate it to the North, South ,East and West of Nigeria. And to the beautiful Virgins in the sky waiting to get rolled over by some terrorists. Lastly, u can hate me for it, but, SAI BABA, SAI BUHARI. THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS U ALL. 1 Like 1 Share |

Biafra is biafra. It's includes igboland be it in SS and SE. Biafra will not force any group or person to join and if you, ezeagu, don't ever to join, you can stay in one Nigeria..no problem but best believe no part of igboland is staying in that one Nigeria so you have to pack your bags and head to any part of one Nigeria and call it your home. 7 Likes |

ezeagu: Whoever is talking about igede and coo is a buf00n simple. Most of the people on NL taking about biafra have little to zero idea the content of Biafra just joining in the bad wagon to talk. The only idoma or igala involved in biafra are the ones found in Enugu and Anambra. And similar to what I said, no part of igboland is staying in one Nigeria. If they don't like Biafra, they can equally pack their bags and head to middle belt where they came from...no wahalla and End of story. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Where / What On Earth Is Biafra? by ezeagu(m): 7:33pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
onenaira3: But it's IPOB, the front runner of this 'Biafra' movement, who are claiming Igede, "Isobo" (Urhobo/Isoko), Igala "Igbo-Nta" (Ibibio) and Itsekiri because "their names start with I and they wear two piece wrapper". Is that not a joke? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Where / What On Earth Is Biafra? by onenaira3: 7:40pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
ezeagu: The fact you included iteskiri and urhobo/isoko shows you actually don't know nor listen to IPOB or even Massob ideology. The only group you actually included in their that is included in Biafra is Ibibio and that's because ipob has a significant number of members that are ibibio. A perfect example is my best friend who is not an ipob yet (he's on the process of getting ipob membership) but he is one of the biggest biafran agitator and sirpporter I know at least in my own neck of the wood. Me personally, I'm against non Igbo joining Biafra hence my point of Biafra focuses on just Igbo land alone. 4 Likes |

Re: Where / What On Earth Is Biafra? by ezeagu(m): 7:47pm On Sep 30, 2015 |
onenaira3: I have definitely seen where Urhobo and basically everyone surrounding the Igbo people have been lumped together in this Biafra thing by IPOB coupled with the rejection and rain of curses from the supposed groups. It's embarrassing and annoying. The best ways people successfully secede is when they can succinctly describe the group that wants to secede, hence the Igbo people who speak Igbo want their own country for their nations. I've even heard IPOB people saying Igbo is not a nation and that everyone from Itsekiri to Ijaw migrated from Aguleri. Why even keep the name "Biafra" then if this is an Igbo thing. "Biafra" has no clear meaning and was used by Europeans to mark a particular part of Africa for trading and slaves. 1 Like |

ezeagu: One thing for sure, Idoma and Igala have nothing to do with Biafra. In fact, they will take up arms to defend the integrity of Nigeria against any rebellious tribes; for example, like the Ibos anytime and any day! They did so massively during the Biafran War! So, count them out! 1 Like |

ezeagu: Biafra of 1967 to 1970 was a war of survival which was won and lost but Biafra of 2015 is a Jonathanian Igbo supporters thing consisting of strictly those who are mourning Jonathan's deserved loss. Notice that all Igbos that voted Buhari are very happy and cheerful while those who threatened hell are crying. |
