Jokes apart, even if you are from delta state, any state that is not dominated by ibos cannot join biafra

Aaboki, the whole delta state won't join biafra, only the Igbo speaking areas.

Interesting conversations. Im yoruba & dont mind d igbos leaving, along wt any other SS states dt might want to join them. Its however not wise for d rest of us Nigerians to split up. Our population is our strength. We can renegotiate our leadership structure & give ourselves targets and a timeline for disintegration (.i.e. do it d sensible way wt d least disruptions & ill feeling) if dts what we want.

Or we just rotate powers and each region has their distinct identity, like d french & english in canada. I strongly believe Nigeria would be a much better country together (and merely a geographical construct like awolowo said) dn a bunch of smaller countries.

They aren' going no where. They can shout all they want. I dont think they have told their people in Festac/Amuwo Odofin area what deal is. They may have to abandon their million naira houses and investment for the good of Biafria. They are just a bunch of noisey neighbours.


For every shop or market we have built in s waste, we have returned the investment triple fold n we will not lose dem if dis nation divides.

If it comes to that, we will burn all those houses as we leave. Yoruba can never take our stuffs for free. grin

Group marches in Aba, vows to shut down city Monday

FROM: OKEY SAMPSON, ABA

Members of Indigenous People of Bi­afra (IPOB) on yesterday protested round the major streets of Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State over the continued detention of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu of the Radio Bi­afra fame with a vow to shot down the city on Monday. This was in de­fiance of the warning of the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase for the group to discon­tinue its violent protests across the South East.

The IGP had in a statement issued through the Spokes­person of the force, Olabisi Kolawole warned that the group should stop its protest as information suggested that members of IPOB were plan­ning to use dangerous weap­ons during its protest in some of the southeast states of the country.

The protest which started as early as 7.00am saw mem­bers of IPOB march peace­fully through the streets of Aba in their thousands, carrying Biafran flags, flex bearing the image of their detained leader and chanting solidarity songs.

They also carried placards some of which called on the Federal Government and other International bodies to come to their assistance in order to help them achieve a sovereign state of Biafra and the release of their leader, Kanu.

Sunday Sun gathered that as early as 7am the pro­testers had assembled at a location near Ariaria Inter­national market where they were at initial stage pre­vented from taking off by a combined team of Police and other security agencies.

However, between 11am and 12noon, members of IPOB re-grouped and went round Ariaria International market with a bell warning that the market would close for business on Monday for a proposed mega rally, stress­ing that anybody that would defy the order would be seen as anti Biafra.

After beating the security web, the group around noon took off from a different lo­cation to match along major streets of Aba, including Faulks road, Aba-Owerri, Aba-Ikot Ekpene among oth­er places, causing gridlock.

The group before heading back to town made a stop­over in front of the office of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA channel 6 Aba, located along the Aba- Ikot Ekpenne road. They were however prevented by the police to get close to the gate of the national televi­sion where they had wanted to voice out reasons for their peaceful protest.

Some of the protesters who spoke to our reporter said that they decided to em­bark on the protest as a mark of respect for their leader, Kanu who they said has been incarcerated by the federal government and was refused to be granted bail despite the peaceful path that he (Kanu) and other members of the group have chosen to let the world know the level of marginalization and dehu­manization the southeast and south-south states have suf­fered even when they were the gooses that lay the eggs other parts of the country are enjoying today.

“Look at the deplorable nature of our roads. Water in the south-south especially the oil producing states and communities have been pol­luted. Are we talking about gas flaring that is going on in these states? Farmers are not planting again because their farmlands are no longer pro­ducing. Poverty is eating up the people whose resources is being used to sustain the economy of the country.

“We have said it and we are going to continue saying it that we are tired of being part of the country called Ni­geria where things go wrong and when you ask questions, people will call for your head. This is just the beginning of the struggle and we shall con­tinue to push further until our leader (Kanu) is released and until the dream of our fore­fathers for the actualization and realization of a sovereign state of Biafra is realised. It is not going to come through a violent means, but a non-violent one; our forefathers have fought the war that we are supposed to fight, so any person thinking that Biafra is going to come through violent means is just wasting his or her precious time”, one of the protesters said.

Soldiers and policemen were stationed at strategy lo­cations of the city, but it was not clear whether there was any clash between the secu­rity agents and the protesters.

Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO DSP Ezekiel Udeviotu Onyeke could not be reached for com­ments, but a senior police of­ficer who wouldn’t want to be named said the presence of the police was to forestall any possible breakdown of law and order in the city.

Now you're making stories about not wanting to go back to Biafra? Are there no opportunities there for you not to go back?

Visit any country, you'll see a union of Yorubas, yet Yorubas would rather stay in their region in Nigeria.

Go to Europe, Central America , North America, South America, Asia....... Yorubas dey there.

Of course igbos dont need to go bk home. Their citizenship will be rescinded and they will be asked to apply for work visas or residence permits. As long as they do legal business (dt our pple cant provide) and pay their taxes, we dont mind immigrants in yorubaland. Dont think theyll ever feel welcomed in d north though. But honestly dts d biafrans cross to bear.

Oh, u northerners are now complaining thag u ruled for only 2.5 years in d last 16 years, chisos. Wen u people ceased power from 1983 till 1999 n ruled alone, u didn't complain.

What of igbos that have not ruled Nigeria for 45 years

Nigeria first co up attempt didn't happen in 1966, inform urself.

There was no coup in 1996, all that happened was a cleansing of Nigerian leaders who were corrupt., it has happened several places like Ghana.

If it were a coup, why didn't the coup plotters go for the seat of government In a coup, u swoop in first to the nations capital to secure d seat of government which Nzeogwu never did.


I can only call u a foooool if u didn't notice thaf buhari have over 45 political appointments till now and none was given to d igbos, ur a foool if that seemed right to u, now more n more igbos are keying into the biafra stuff because of marginalization n ur here talking nonsense.

Listen Fearmonger,

Biafra can never be like South Sudan. It shall be a Biafra where Resourse Control reigns, a Biafra of fiscal federalism. A Biafra where oil proceeds shall not go to develop Abakaliki or Nsukka while Yenagoa, Portharcourt or Oron remains impoverished and wrecked by pollution - as it is with Nigeria.

Payment for oil pollution in any country depends on who is in power in the country. While a foreign oil company pays peanuts for pollution in the Nigerdelta - because Arewa controllers of Nigeria do not care - the same foreign company must be forced to pay billions of Dollars for similar pollution in another foreign country where the government cares for the areas polluted.

Igbos have leased peacefully in d north for over a century now, long before independence so staying again won't be a problem.

What will happen to us should not be ur problem, ur major concern shuld be how Yoruba will be left alone to live with the Hausa parasites wen we are gone.

Common lies. Yoruba people don't go out from their region, Yoruba migrants outside nigeria are very minimal, except for Yoruba settlers in south America during n after slavery

For every Yoruba man that travels out of nigeria, 3 or 4 igbos travel as well.

Igbos have unions down to "vilage" levels. Nsukks, Ngwo, Awgu, ogidi, etc have their separate unions abroad, I'm talking apart from the main general igbo union.

D igbos are well known for travelling to all places on earth. They are renowned for that.
