I just really wonder what would have happened if Jonathan had won the election, because through out of 2014 there is nothing like free biafra,there is nothing like zoo but just because Jonathan who is not even from the region lost the election, biafra agitation now the song of young igbos. so igbos if Jonathan had not lost election would you have agitated for biafra? because I think biafra would have been easy under Jonathan regime.

Yes there would have been an agitation for it. Those people are a greedy lot.

Before election Jonathan till 2019



After election Biafra

braine:
Yes there would have been an agitation for it. Those people are a greedy lot.

A wise man will just forget abt politics and quietly make his money... Die and meet God in heaven whr he will enjoy eternall life..

Ask them oooo

If Buhari has been nice 2 d Ibos(not marginalizing dem), would dey agitate 4 Biafra?

How Did President Jonathan Resolve The Ogoni Declaration Of Independent

Ogoni Declares "Self-Government"

“We are acting with legitimacy to reclaim all of our rights, without exception,” says Goodluck Diigbo.

Jubilations are continuing throughout Ogoniland after the Ogoni people in southern Nigeria, today, Thursday, 2nd of August declared political autonomy.    

In a live broadcast on a newly established radio station: Voice of Ogoni, MOSOP President/Spokesman, Dr. Goodluck Diigbo vowed that:“By this declaration of political autonomy, we, the Ogoni people are determined to enforce the United Nations Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples, without fear or retreat,” Diigbo said.   Diigbo affirmed that self-government within Nigeria will secure for the Ogoni people, their indigenous rights, enable them to meet their needs and interests and finally end internal colonialism.   Diigbo said self-government became urgent recognizing the need to arrive at a consensus to collectively review the disputed UNEP Ogoniland Oil Assessment report, because any dialogue must be with the genuinely elected representatives of the people expected to enforce indigenous rights without dictation.   In the broadcast, Diigbo further underscored the reason for the urgency of self-government for Ogoni:
“Concerned that in the absence of a responsive government that the indigenous people of Ogoni will continue to suffer from historic injustices.”   Diigbo stated: “In order to make indigenous rights practicable in Ogoni, we have through a very transparent electoral college process, beginning with community by community elections, set up 272 village councils, while the village councils in turn elected representatives for 33 district councils and the district representatives went on to elect representatives to serve at the center as custodians of customs and traditions, otherwise called lawmakers.”   “The law makers in turn elected the executive arm of the Ogoni Central Indigenous Authority (OCIA) with checks and balances inbuilt to ensure corruption-free, effective, efficient and answerable system of grassroots self-government instead of the old, corrupt and mismanaged local government system endured by the Ogoni for decades,” Diigbo explained.   “In taking these measures, we are quite aware of the discomfort to about 56 local politicians that control local government politics in Ogoni, however, we care more about the 1.2 million people that have for too long been excluded,” he stated.   He announced that a Transitional Committee was already set up to facilitate dialogue to ensure peaceful transition, within 30 days, while consultation with the national government and international community begins without delay.   Diigbo emphasized the need for Ogonis to remain law-abiding and act nonviolently; saying “we are acting with legitimacy to reclaim all of our rights, without exception, and for the sake of peace and security; let no one test the collective will of the Ogoni people, because we will not surrender our indigenous rights anymore.”   Excerpts:   In 1990, we the people of Ogoni presented the Ogoni Bill of Rights to the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in which the Ogoni nonviolently demanded among other indigenous rights:  

·         Political autonomy to participate in the affairs of the Republic as a distinct and separate indigenous unit (by whatever name called), provided that this autonomy guarantees political control of Ogoni affairs by Ogoni people; The right to control and use a fair proportion of Ogoni economic resources for Ogoni development; adequate representations, as of right, in all Nigerian national institutions, and the right to protect the Ogoni environment and ecology from further degradation as recognized under international law to which Nigeria is obligated.   Nigeria, a multi-ethnic nation state, a legacy of the British colonial administration, granted political independence October 1, 1960, after the British violated Ogoni independence in 1901, did not respond to the Ogoni, inhabiting their ancestral land in southern Nigeria.   When in the struggle for indigenous political autonomy; especially, in matters concerning confiscation of sacred ancestral lands for oil production without prior informed consent, there comes a moment to assert powers derived from the consent of the people and Nature’s blessings in order to protect, preserve and pass on inherited sacred ancestral heritage to succeeding indigenous generations. On behalf of the entire Ogoni people, I am highly honored to present these issues surrounding the proposed Ogoni Declaration of Political Autonomy.

DR. GOODLUCK DIIGBO/TAMBARI DEEKOR

OP, you are entitled to your opinion.
However, I wish you also take the following into consideration which might have triggered any secession in the first place.
1. It is generally accepted that Nigeria is made up of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba!
2. It simply means that Nigeria belongs to us ALL
3. Then why has only the North (Hausa) rule us all for close to forty years?
4. If Nigeria is not good today, which people destroyed it?
5. In the history of this country, there had never been a time that federal character is not respected!
6. This is the first time that a region is possessing the 3 arms of government! which is an impeachable offence. Nobody is saying anything in a secular state? and U still question why we want secession?
7. Mohammed Buhari committed treason when he said he would make Nigeria ungovernable because he lost in the election, why is nobody talking about it?
8. What moral right has he to arrest KANU?
9. The same region (Fulani) has being going about making sales from their cow but leaving the trail of murder, kidnapping and destruction behind! while their leaders instead of apologizing has being threatening other peoples peace! Who has arrested them?
10. The Ododuwa tribe (Yoruba) too felt it too. Hence, they also asking to pull out!
11. If they (Hausa) are born to rule, let them rule themselves! haba! enough is a enough.
Our fore fathers forged Nigeria on these three major tribes. Now if one of them feels marginalized, Why not let them go and let those who want to stay, stay!
Very simple! I think the major question here is "Why is Nigeria reluctant to let go of Biafra?

Nnamdikanu has been creating awareness since the time of Jonathan,but as educated as Jonathan is he decided to over look him,but the jihadists,the pedophile himself,the child rapist(buhari) came along and decided to fight Nnamdikanu from kanu position of strength by claiming the will block Radio Biafra,that is when people now decided to listen to the radio station to know what it all about,lo and behold he is preaching the truth and Nigeria is notorious in fighting anything truth so the battle began

Lisaflex:
If Buhari has been nice 2 d Ibos(not marginalizing dem), would dey agitate 4 Biafra?

sup dear.

WE re LIVE and DIRECT

braine:
Yes there would have been an agitation for it. Those people are a greedy lot.

how do you mean they re greedy? These re common men who believes the zoo has nothing to offers due to tribalism and lack of visionary or transformation leaders..

No

braine:
Yes there would have been an agitation for it. Those people are a greedy lot.

Lying propagandist, here is a list of some of your greedy kinsmen who looted and ruined the fortune of this country.
Point out the Igbos amongst them and then you can confirm that you hail from a generation of pathological liars!

simtosul:
The question here really is the role these men
and women played in the current state of
Nigeria.
The List of Top 20 Most Corrupt Nigerian
Leaders (dead/alive) below:


1. Oluesgun Obasanjo – He stole $25
billion from 1999-2007 ($16.4 from power
sector alone)


2. Ibrahim Babangida – He stole $15 billion
from 1985-1993 ($12.4 billion from oil wind
fall in 1990)
3. Abdulsalam Abubakar – He stole $9
billion from 1998-99
4. Sani Abacha – He stole $7 billion from
1993-1998
5. Ahmed Bola Tinubu – He stole and
continues to steal from Lagos State treasury
since 1999 till date. It’s estimated that he
has stolen $6 billion so far.
6. Muhammadu Buhari – He stole $2 billion
from NNPC accounts in the ’70s and the
money was traced to Midland bank (now
HSBC), London. Under his watch as PTF
Head, N25 billion got missing according to
PTF Situation Report submitted to Abdusalam
in 1999.
7. TY Danjuma – He fraudulently got
enriched through oil blocks from the Niger
Delta worth $20 million in the 70s after the
counter coup. Those oil blocks worth billions
of dollars in today’s value.
8. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi – He stole $1.2
billion as CBN Governor from 2008-2014.
9. Bukola Saraki – Through his father,
Olukola Saraki, their bank, Societe Generale
and as a governor of Kwara State
(2003-20111) he stole $1.1 billion
10. Nasir El Rufai – Before he was made the
FCT Minister, El Rufai was broke, homeless
and was looking for loan to import taxis from
the UK. After he was made the minister, he
seized landed properties that belonged to
Nigerians and resold them with huge profit.
It’s estimated that he stole $1 billion from
2003-2007.
11. Tunde Fashola – He is the poster boy of
Tinubu. Boht of them looted Lagos dried and
left it in debt of about N1 billion. Fashola,
among other thing built his personal website
for N78 million, drilled borehole for over N100
million per each and built a kilometre road for
N1 billion. He stole $900 million from
2007-2015. He’ll soon be a minister to
continue the looting.
12. Chubike Rotimi Amaechi – From 2007
to 2015, he stole $700 million and $150
million from that money was used to sponsor
Buhari and APC.
13. Atiku Abubakar – When he as asked by
our reporter how he made his money, he
simply said “he was always at the right place
at the right time.” Atiku is an astute
businessman, but through shady deals, he
stole $500 million from 1999-2007.
14. James Ibori – He stole $150 million from
1999-2007 as governor of Delta State. He’s
serving his term for money laundering in the
UK.
15. Amina Mohammed – This woman was
the founder of Afri-Project Consortium (APC)
that was in charge of all PTF Projects during
Abacha’s regime. About $125 million was
stolen from PTF accounts from 1994-1998.
Buhari has just nominated the same woman
as a minister to continue to stealing.
16. DSP Alamieyeseigha – He stole $120
million and was arrested for money
laundering. He pleaded guilty and long
served his term.
17. Sule Lamido – He stole $110 million
between 2007-2015 and out of that amount,
$50 million was found in his sons’ bank
accounts. He was arrested and detained for
days together with his sons.
18. Rabui Kwankwaso – He stole $100
million as a governor of Kano State. EFCC has
arrested many of his aides and they are
“singing” how they siphoned the money
19. Kashium Shettima – this governor has
stolen about $80 million and still counting.
20. Rauf Aregbesola – he has milked Osun
State to the tune of $60 million.
21. Kayode Fayemi – this former governor
stole $40 million and stashed some part of
the loot in Ghana. He was reportedly bought
a bed for N50 million.
Note: The likes of President Goodluck
Jonathan and key members of his
administration including the former Minister
of Petroleum are missing.
