Nigeria is a failed state. True dev can only cme in a confederal system or regional govt. D power @ d centre is not holdin & cannot develope Nigeria because it was born outa a military ideology. Democracy has 2 plan it's own cause, nigeria is too big & diverse 4 power 2 be held @ d center. Dis is y kwaruptn is rampant & Ders wide spread poverty & illiteracy. Focussin power @ d center means only pple who can reach der can eat, Dats y wen GEJ stupidly boasted abt nigerias economy bein d largest in africa I felt sad because only a very few pple benefitted 4rm dis. I used 2 look @ dis biafra agitatn as a bunch of jobless oafers lukin 4 attentn, but after travellin 4rm phc 2 owerri I changed my mind. 1st we cldnt go tru owerri-phc road cos it's already a death trap, so we decided 2 go round(aba-phc) only 2 get stuck in obigvo(oyibo) for 2 hours because of bad road(mind u we wer der by 7am) all d feral roads in SE/SS axis are all bad, no meaningful dev. Govt shd address dese issues & stop clampin down/killin peaceful protesters dey r not helpin anybody. No matter how strong d DSS may luk or army/navy wen a full blown war escalates even d strong might go AWOL because of everybody is equally armed & dangerous. Honestly am tired of hausa/fulani rulership. Buhari is not a saint as he claims 2 be. D chief judge of d federal high court & present customs boss were among d military tribunal dt sentenced Ken-sarowiwa & 8 odas 2 death. Ogonis want 2 secceed, so do d ijawas & biafra. Dis is evidence of a failed state, u mite squash d resistance 4 now but 4 ow long. D worse part is dt ogoni, ijaw, ikwere, ndigbo now realise dat dey hav a common enemy(nigeria). It wasn't like d oda civil war wer ibo dragged dem into. Now dey hav common 2 a common undastandin dt dey can't start a war alone. Buhari spread justice & development quick b4 it gets outa hand. Reorganise d system of govt also quickly, & beg ur pple 2 stop openly displayin deir highandness because dey control d military. 22 Likes |

There is a peaceful way to secede without shedding a single drop of blood.Let there be referendum for those who want to go like it was done in Scotland and some other European countries.I know some region is taking cognizant of the crude oil that is not in their region to force unity on other people.Unity is not by force.This is democracy. 14 Likes 1 Share |

I Have Always Ignored This Type Of Trend But With The Way Things Are Going Its Becoming 50-50. When A Man Fights And Never Gives Up, Victory Must Be His Someday, A Nation Should Fear That Man or People That Can Die And Will Stop At Nothing In Getting His Course. The Bitter Truth Is That Biafra Is Gradually Becoming Like The Air That Can't Be Contained. Finally All Those Great Men In The Past That Achieved Great Inventions Never Gave Up, They Tried A Thousand Time And Finally Got It . Even God Answers The Persisting Prayer Eventually .

If Jonathan won the elections will they be agitating they want to go? Useless tribalists. Let them go... can't wait to take over their businesses when they leave. It is unfortunate this race of people fail to realise they are just traders who need to buy &sell to survive. They have no oil, no land, no resource etc. Yet if all the Igbos should go back home, where is the land that will contain them. They have just taken themselves back to civil war era wher everyone looked at them with suspicion. I weep 4 them. 6 Likes 1 Share |

successiam: One reason i really want Biafra is the fact that it may be worst than South Sudan. I supported south Sudan for their independance but got the shocker when they turned on themselves. With Igbo the majority in Biafra, it spells doom which the average Niger Delta isnt aware due to hate of the Hausa. I think an Igbo man is more of a threat to a Niger Deltan than a Hausa man. The Niger Deltan will most likely see more of "his resource" in the hands of Igbo and will likely kick against it once again and the whole circle repeats but this time there is no going back for the Niger Deltan. Hausa man is the majority in Nigeria and Igbo is majority in Biafra. One way or the other the Niger Deltan will not be satisfied and its the same problem in Nigeria or Biafra. It is always true that you dont know what you have until you lose it. The Niger Deltan who thinks he lost in Nigeria will certainly lose more in Biafra and the war continues.Biafra isnt about the South South but the South East. Those South South who have decide to join the South East are taking their region for a big ride that will spell doom. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

All those clamouring for Biafra are frustrated idiots. And I mean every word in my statement. I have addressed the most educated of their leaders, who is in the US. And he has seen that majority of those making the loudest noise on Biafra are not making sense. They are Igbos who are driven by frustration and desperation since they have failed to excel and succeed in the highly competitive Nigerian society and they think having their own region as an independent nation is the solution to their frustration. I was a refugee child during the Biafran war, my mother lost three children, elder brother, in-laws and relations among the millions of civilians who lost their lives in the worst civil war in Africa and will never pray for another civil war anywhere in Africa. All tribal bigots are idiots. I am totally committed to One Nigeria and the Nigerian Dream for the nation building of a New Nigeria in the leadership of Africa. What people are discussing in America is "THE VICTORY OF MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND THE NIGERIAN DREAM" and not the stu-pidity of tribal bigot of Biafra. We should all support President Muhammadu Buhari, the luckiest President of Nigeria since 1960 to date. I just sent him a text message minutes ago to thank him for speaking to every member of our Golden Eaglets to motivate them to win the FIFA Under-17 World Cup for the 5th time. Nigeria won it for the first time in 1985, when President Buhari was the military Head of State of Nigeria. Speaking to the Golden Eaglets who are in fact made up of more Igbos than other tribes shows how representing our Nigeria as patriotic Nigerians is the spirit of the Nigerian Dream for the nation building of a New Nigeria in the leadership of Africa.

[b]how can five landlocked state form a country? the main agitators for Biafra are not after "emancipating" the Igbos from Nigeria but are after enslaving the minorities of the Niger Delta. The agitators for Biafra know that their dream will not be possible or sustainable with five landlocked states. they need an access to seaport and the resources of the Niger Delta to form a sustainable country. In other words, the Igbos for Biafra dream of replicating another Nigeria or a smaller version (without the north and south west) where the Igbos will dominate. and even if that goes on to happen, what guarantees are there that this state will remain united and further divisions will not happen? The ijaws and other minorities in the Niger Delta will surely kick against Igbo domination and will want their independence too. then, where will you place Edo, akwa ibom and Cross River? we are talking here of an unsustainable Biafra dividing into another four countries at least. in that case, and after the minorities who will be more in number than the Igbos overwhelm the igbos, it will be igbos themselves who will again agitate for Nigeria to return!!! a biafra will be a recipe for confusion, further divisions, bloodshed and a burden for west africa and the world. no body wants to welcome refugees, especially from a heavily populated country. therefore no one wants to touch the Pandora box. in the north, there is also question of minorities. there is a christian minority. will they want to live outside a unified Nigeria? can biafra give them solutions? or will further division take place? talking about referendum, that is not feasible in Nigeria at all. Igbos are scattered all over the country with investments and businesses across the country. will only Igbos take part in a referendum? and what of those igbos outside the five landlocked and impoverished states? the Igbos are the most scattered ethnic group in Nigeria, yet some idle people want separation. if you truly want separation, the first thing to do is to develop your five states. do not place any eye on the South South or the oil of the Niger Delta. even if your dream come to happen, that unity with the South South will not last. after you develop your state, then ask your brothers scattered all over the country to return. they will not. why? because five landlocked states cannot sustain themselves. if your five states are an economic model and paradise on earth, it will be the other way round. people from all around Nigeria and even the world will be rushing to your states; not Igbos rushing to other states. Dubai is still part of the UAE yet it attracts investments from the world over. how many multinational companies and foreign ovestors are found in the south east? if those neo-Biafran agitators are sincere about their call for independence, then it is very sorry for them. this is a call without foresight. and if they are not sincere, and they are simply doing it because a northerner they dont like is the president of the country, then they are going about the wrong way. you had your chance to vote and you voted in the wrong direction-ethnicity and religion. Nigeria voted to move away from ethnicity and religious barriers. what are you therefore complaining about? if you want the attention of the president, you dont ask for it using threat of division and war. the catastrophic results of war will be unbearable even for the agitators. the solution, and that is the bitter pill Igbos have to swallow, is for, at least, there to be political unity with the north. if the yorubas can do it, then why cant the igbos? get over bitterness and division and threats. there should be diversity in opinions and choices in the south east. do not place your eggs in one political party or in the basket of ethnicism and religionism and regionalism. even europe that was divided into small nation states has united to form a powerful european union. there is power in unity. today Nigeria is a strong country and seen as such. who will consider biafra or give it relevance that Nigeria enjoys today? and to become independent, you need international support. it is not enough for you to clamor for independence. you need the UN; and the UN has powerful countries which must agree you deserve independence and they are ready to work with you if you become independent. as much as foreign interference in any country's affairs is repugnant, if other countries dont fly your flag in their capital, your passport will not be recognized.[/b] 8 Likes 3 Shares |
