Brooklynsouth: I don't think you have the capacity to under the arguments being raised here. I wonder what you guys will do when you march to the wrong lands and they actually physically attack you. Noneroone: I don't know about that since Radio Biafra is even claiming Itsekiri and Igala people are part of Biafra. fastjet: Biafra is a corrupted name Europeans used to find particular kinds of slaves they were looking for, just because it existed before Nigeria doesn't mean it's not of foreign origin. Do your research outside of Radio Biafra. 2 Likes |

If any of the minorities will be a problem to the restoration of Biafra, then I am for an all Igbo Biafra. Infact, many Nigerians have said that if Igbos leave the minorities alone, they will grant us Biafra much faster. We do not need people who don't know what they want to drag us back into Nigeria. So if the minorities cannot make up their minds, we leave them and go! It's after we have left that they will taste the full brunt of Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba partnership well. But I have to stress again that if Igbos alone go as Biafrans, all Igbos must go! And when I mean all Igbos, I mean the Igbos of the lower Benue,Delta Igbos from Asaba to the Igbo speaking community of Igbanke in Edo state. All Rivers Igbos like Etche-Igbos,Omuma-Igbos,Ahoada-Igbos and so on. When it comes the Ikweres-Igbos, those people are just too misguided. They are too busy claiming not to Igbo to see the bigger picture. In the first post of this thread, we see an Ikwere girl with the surname Okonkwo-Ogabu call Igbos 'strangers'. How can someone with the surname 'Okonkwo' call Igbos strangers if that person is not terribly daft? How can someone who speaks Igbo as their ancestral language and has an Igbo surname call Igbos strangers? That's how Chibike Amaechi, an Ikwere man, went to Aba to campaign for APC and said: "My people! Don't vote GEJ! He is an Ijaw man who cannot speak Igbo. I, on the other hand am an Igbo man who can speak Igbo! Amaechi was an Igbo man in Aba but an Ikwere man in PortHarcourt. That's how Ikwere people are hypocrites. When it is in their favour, they become Igbos, when it is not in their favour, they become Ikwere. If Biafra must be an all Igbo affair, we cannot afford to have sabotures like the Ikwere to be part of it. We need people who are proud to be Igbos to be part of it. We must reach out to the Igbos by the sea like the Opobo-Igbos and Bonny-Igbos. An all Igbo Biafra will be great, we have all it takes, we have the brains, the Oil and Gas, the minerals and the human potential. God Bless Biafra 5 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerians will not understand the wasteful years they have endured under the British c0ontraption called Nigeria until it is disintegrated. However it shall be too late for certain people because of the hatred Nigeria entity had created among the silly inhabitants. There is no doubt that if peaceful settlement is not reach in self-determination for nation states out of Nigeria, the treatment meted to Bakassi by Hausa, Fulani, Yari.ba and all minorities from northern region of Nigeria would look like a child's play. I am soundly for Republic of Igbo land. I guess the boundary of Igbo land is not negotiable. However a reconfigured Biafra to include all Igbo land in Nigeria not merely the defunct eastern region of Nigeria shall be considered. 4 Likes |

sounds like building castles in the air, imo. fanciful imagination. I've already pointed out why such a situation is not as plausible as you imagine, unless you arrange it yourselves. |

under no circumstance should ikwerre and I jaw should be allowed into Biafra. it is even preferable for idoma to be included in Biafra than those misguided groups. |
