What Will The Ijaws Gain If They Join Biafra? by mrvitalis(m): 8:13am On Oct 28, 2015
... . It is so clear to even a child that the igbos want BIAFRA... . But the thing is this... BIAFRA is not an all igbo thing.... ..
. For me this was the reason we lost the war... The south south never knew there stand, so it was a case of the devil you know very the angel u don't know.
....if BIAFRA must work... We will have to prove to the south south that we won't be like Nigeria, cos the way KANU is running IPOB he cant get the ijaws nation to support him.
.. .. What can IPOB DO?
1) get the south south youths into ur ranks... .. . Imagine if kanu, tompolo aseri and mavin ubana were the leading heads for BIAFRA... then it will have meaning and people will take them serious.... ... but how will u attract them when u address ur people in mostly igbo?
2) move the capital to port Harcourt or uyo.. .. . This will give the south south a reason to feel among in this BIAFRA of a thing and will boost the chances of BIAFRA.
3) there should be 100% resource control. .. .. this is what Nigeria can't give the ijaws and if BIAFRA can give such then they might reconsider there stand
If IPOB can retrace there steps and improve on this angle... . Well I believe there is a great chance of BIAFRA... ..

Op you are perfectly right on the issue of establishing the Biafran capital on the soil of a non-Igbo group

But

If only they agree.

This is something we can discuss with dialogue. For me I am from anambara state, Biafra will have several capitals, like south Africa, where they will be situated is subject to dialogue. I believe that you listen to nnamdi without paying attention.It is a case of step by step, the interim president will be from the same place the last president of biafra was from. The capital city must be in the inner parts of the country so Enugu is already disqualified. We shouldn't jump the gun. All these will be discussed and thrashed out before we begin. Right now he is in detention. After his release he will meet everybody. What he is currently doing is raising awareness, which is the most difficult and important part of the struggle. You fear what does not exist.

Biafra is an Igbo struggle with age long history and agitation in eastern States, and even if you align with the oil rich people I doubt if they will share there oil resources with you.
They want full control of their resources and that is what Nigeria is not giving them probably because of the adverse effects it might have on some northern states. And if the union called Nigeria breaks up, they won't make that mistake again.

there will be 100 percent resource control in Biafra.the 5 SE states are rich in oil and gas and have so many untapped oil fields. Coal which supplies America 40 percent of their energy source and also have limestone and big markets for all goods. All i want is Biafra with or without SS

If Igbos Via Ojukwu wanted to control the oil in Niger Delta, he would have agreed for RUSSIA to fight for Biafra during the Civil war and take oil for 10 yrs...if he and igbos were that power drunk he would have agrred, but he considered the welfare of the owners of the oil and said NO...and this what made Russia and France who were initially fighting for biafra to join their enemy USA to fight for Nigeria against Biafra.....stop misleading ppl, yes Igbos want full control of their own resources just like IJAWS, Kalabaris, Ogonis, Aniomas, urhobos, isokos, ....so we all have common aim.

I don't think you know that resource control is one of the driving force of Biafra. I'm an Anambra man. My state is Oil producing and we have one of the biggest Gas deposits in the country. I want at least 50% of that. All the 25 provinces of Biafra will get at least 50% of whatever comes from their lands or waters.

You are not serious.
The people you should be concerned about are the igbo areas. Leave out all these strange groups in your calculation unless you want to fail again.

why not leave ss alone. This are all dead antics to get a lady to bed. When ijaw or any niger delta state goes to u. Its back to statos quo, with a 99% ratio of igbo to the minority. Once it falls, all these land grabbing, dominating and we own it menatality that emanates frm the clowns online would kick in

Since Nigeria is not giving the oil and wealth owners what they want in Nigeria, now that they have an option dat can champion their cause, why don't they come out and call for a deliberation on what they want for their pple in a new country.

Igbos are already in charge of the agitation, are Igbos too going to go to them to ask them what they want ?


If truely, minority elders want d best for their region, they would have said ok, since this is a new stake where we can discuss and establish our interest, let us state what we want and get what we want.



Igbos are not begging anybody to help us get Biafra and so we won't come to knock at ur door to ask u wat u want in Biafra. Come out and state what u want.
