We Need Good Leadership In The South East Not Biafra by Crazyman - A Rebuttal

Thank you for finding time to comment on the on going agitation in the SE by IPOB. Your opinions are wonderful yet intrinsically individual, know that you are an easterner. But your line of criticism is akin to what is obtainable at a bus stop after a Barca - Bayern game. Nwanne, okwu ana aso anya anaghi ebi gbooo.

Lets take a look at your postulations:-

* Do Biafra need ''powerful'' Igbo leaders to succeed? Can you kindly cast more light on that word powerful? Do you know what a generation mean? Have you heard about breaking the jinx? Why not speak for yourself as an incapacitated being who is unable to change his situation? Everyone cannot have your line thinking.

You need some tutorials about revolution. Zik, Awolowo, Balewa, Enahoro et al, were they ''powerful'' in the colonial days? Were they Emirs, Obas, Obis, VC's Ministers, Entrepreneurs during the struggle for Nigerian independence? How did they win? The so called powerful Igbo leaders are not key to the struggle.

If not for the fact that you are one of the faceless entities on Nairaland.com, i would have offered you a copy of Mandela's Long Walk To Freedom for your perusal. Before his incarceration, he was just a member of ANC's youth wing. He was never among the top ranking members of ANC yet he changed the history of South Africa. If you are given South African visa now, you will host a thanksgiving service before jetting out of the country.

* Jobs are created. They are not oil that is just drilled and sold. You mentioned government agencies that will relieve Biafrans of their current positions at the emergence of Biafra. Your common sense never told you that there will be similar parastatals in Biafra? Do you realise that Biafra is a country? Whatever office and trappings of officialdom you may have seen in Nigeria will also be in BIafra with excellent modifications.
You wrote about Exodus and its likely consequences. The exodus you witness every december in Igboland during december period, who takes care of it? Today, Lagos as a city ticks. Why if i may ask? Its only an issue of population and nothing else. One Biafra is flooded with returnees, meeting their daily needs is the business that empower and employ people worldwide.
But what percentage of Igbos do you have in government employment? Igbos are more of productive and functional entrepreneurs. After all in Nigeria the Igbos created their empires via independent input and subsequently pays tax to the FG. Don't worry, Biafrans will never miss Nigeria.

* SE is not impoverished. We are doing better than many states in the west and north. Anambra has a better road network than Lagos state. You may not know all this unless you are a frequent traveller and can compare and contrast. Our town unions help the state government extensively in core developmental projects. You can get to any part of Anambra in thirty miniutes on a good road. Among the Igbos, when there is no light, generator are always standing by.
Do we lack well equipped primary and secondary schools in South East yet Imo state has the highest number of professors in Nigeria? [refer to NUC]. In the national school enrollment and graduation index, all Igbo speaking states except Ebonyi ranks among the first 10. Drinking water - has any Igbo speaking state suffered from any water related epidemic? O no na ndo fu onwa no n'igwe.
I love this quotation of yours ''It is time for the Igbo youth to come together and reverse the trend of ubiquitious leadership ravishing Igboland and put a system that would enable the best of us emerge as leader'' This dream of yours is what Biafra has come to achieve. The process has begun with non-violent protest championed by those born in Biafra-the youths!

* Inability to stand independently. One of African Icons ans Igbo man, Nnamdi Azikiwe-Zik is a classic example to thrash your thinking. He sailed to the Americas empty handed and came back with just knowledge to liberate Nigeria from colonial dominance. Thus, so may Igbos of this age. Are aware that orphans are successes today?

You painted Ebonyi as a poor state, they must be the least in Igboland. In Biafra, the way Nigeria drilled oil from Niger Delta to develop Lagos, Abuja and host of other states, the excesses of Anambra, Imo, Enugu and Abia states will be used revamp Ebonyi. This and more is what you will see how it will be programmed seamlessly. Tag along with this slogan ...............onye aghala nwanne ya.

I am Happy you mentioned Rochas as a deviant governor from the SE region for exporting a business that would have been done better at Ariara-Aba to China. He is an ApC governor. Anambra state under Mr. Obi bought more government vehicles from Innoson Motors. Thats the real Igbo signature.

* Dis-unity and inability to make accurate political calculations. Biko, are you a student of Lai Mohammed and Western Nigeria press? Did you think for yourself to come up with this or you are regurgitating what you have been feed? You need some demographic research and tutulage on the characteristics of each of the component make up of Nigeria. Igbos are republican in nature. However, Igbos are no more interested in Nigerian presidency, Biafra is a better option. But how many Jews are presidents in America.

SE without major FG presence has made quantum leap in all areas of life. In this century, they want to use Biafra to show the world that man has solutions to man made challenges. Just give Biafra a chance and you will see that Dubai is a childs play.

This is a killer punch! Chineke! This is one blow two Akpus.

Out of Biafran revolution, natural Biafran leaders will emerge.

Lol...my brother when a movement isn't supported by notable and responsible leaders, those championing it would be seen as rebels. Why do you think Uwazurike failed, its because no responsible SE leader supported him. The responsible leaders are the ones who will stand behind us and ensure that the government listens to us.

Currently, apart from a few youths, and online media, how many igbos even know who Nnamdi Kanu is?

If we don't have any "notable and responsible" SE leader negotiating on our behalf how do you think this dream would work?

Doesn't kanu's continued detention despite having met bail conditions tell you that our leaders have distanced themselves from the whole struggle?

If he even had the support of a few leaders do you think he would still be in detention by now?

Blackkie:
You need some tutorials about revolution. Zik, Awolowo, Balewa, Enahoro et al, were they ''powerful'' in the colonial days? Were they Emirs, Obas, Obis, VC's Ministers, Entrepreneurs during the struggle for Nigerian independence? How did they win? The so called powerful Igbo leaders are not key to the struggle.
Lol...they were the best minds Nigeria had at that time. Go and do your reserach.

So I believe its safe to say they were powerful as well.

Don't bother biko...I don't need it.

Blackkie:
* Jobs are created. They are not oil that is just drilled and sold. You mentioned government agencies that will relieve Biafrans of their current positions at the emergence of Biafra. Your common sense never told you that there will be similar parastatals in Biafra?
"There will be similar parastatals in Biafra indeed. " And how are we going to go about the creation? Or will they just appear from nowhere?

Can you give us a mathematical calculation of how we would generate funds in a space of months to establish a Biafran police force, Biafran Army, Biafran Immigration...etc and what guarantee do you have that every single one of the returnees would be employed?

I'm asking for a stable economy in the SE first...let's achieve that then we will negotiate for Biafra. Try to understand where I'm coming from.

Blackkie:
Do you realise that Biafra is a country? Whatever office and trappings of officialdom you may have seen in Nigeria will also be in BIafra with excellent modifications.
And those offices will spring up over night right?

What plans have been put in place for such offices?

Please stop all this talk and show us facts.

Blackkie:
You wrote about Exodus and its likely consequences. The exodus you witness every december in Igboland during december period, who takes care of it?
My dear brother, those that travel during christmas period stay in the SE for not more than 3weeks after which they will return back to their comfort zones.

Secondly they travel with a specific financial budget for the Christmas celebration and not for permanent relocation...they don't come searching for jobs cos they already have jobs in their comfort zones...so this argument is baseless.

Blackkie:
Today, Lagos as a city ticks. Why if i may ask? Its only an issue of population and nothing else. One Biafra is flooded with returnees, meeting their daily needs is the business that empower and employ people worldwide.
But what percentage of Igbos do you have in government employment?
Did you just ask this question?

So we don't have Igbos in the military, the police, the immigration, the frsc...etc?

Does the percentage really matter?

My argument is do we have an already established parastatal where they will fit into once they relocate?

If yes kindly explain to us.

Blackkie:
Igbos are more of productive and functional entrepreneurs. After all in Nigeria the Igbos created their empires via independent input and subsequently pays tax to the FG. Don't worry, Biafrans will never miss Nigeria.
True...but you're forgetting that most igbos have business which are thriving outside the SE.

That you don't own any shouldn't make you sound so selfish in your reasoning.

If you want an igbo man to close down his company which he spent years to establish and relocate to the SE, you should be able to convince him with facts not promises and sweet words that he wouldn't regret his action.

Blackkie:
* SE is not impoverished. We are doing better than many states in the west and north.
I didn't start my thread to compare the standard of living in the SE to those in northern states.

Blackkie:
Anambra has a better road network than Lagos state. You may not know all this unless you are a frequent traveller and can compare and contrast.

Our town unions help the state government extensively in core developmental projects. You can get to any part of Anambra in thirty miniutes on a good road.
Arguably true...anambra links delta, imo, enugu and abia states directly...

It has a better road network than lagos...I don't remember saying otherwise on my thread.

Blackkie:
Among the Igbos, when there is no light, generator are always standing by.
And you're the one who will ensure that standby generators would be placed in homes and offices once biafra is achieved right?

Blackkie:
Do we lack well equipped primary and secondary schools in South East yet Imo state has the highest number of professors in Nigeria? [refer to NUC].
True and I'm glad you put Nigeria not Biafra.

Now how many of these professors have openly come out to support the biafran dream? Before we begin to boast about this achievement, we should have them on our side first.

Cos as far as am concerned, they're just going about their day-to-day activities paying little or no attention to the Biafran movement.

So its safe to conclude that they don't give a damm.

Blackkie:
In the national school enrollment and graduation index, all Igbo speaking states except Ebonyi ranks among the first 10.
Everyone knows this...nothern schools are the least on the ranking.

My argument was about infrastructure.

Blackkie:
Drinking water - has any Igbo speaking state suffered from any water related epidemic? O no na ndo fu onwa no n'igwe.
Are you saying we're in a sorry state? Yes we are

Are you're refering to biafra as the moon in the sky? If yes, then we should look for a means on how to come out of our sorry state so we can have a proper view of the moon in the sky.

If it (the proverb) has a differnt meaning from what I wrote, kindly explain it to us...

Blackkie:
I love this quotation of yours ''It is time for the Igbo youth to come together and reverse the trend of ubiquitious leadership ravishing Igboland and put a system that would enable the best of us emerge as leader'' This dream of yours is what Biafra has come to achieve. The process has begun with non-violent protest championed by those born in Biafra-the youths!
And what has it achieved?

Our responsible leaders have remained mute.

Kanu is rotting away in jail despite meeting bail conditions.

The Nigerian government hasn't issued any statement in regards to this biafran struggle (I stand to be corrected)

So what has the non-violent protest achieved apart from having our brothers being shot dead, wounded and arrested?

Blackkie:
* Inability to stand independently. One of African Icons ans Igbo man, Nnamdi Azikiwe-Zik is a classic example to thrash your thinking. He sailed to the Americas empty handed and came back with just knowledge to liberate Nigeria from colonial dominance. Thus, so may Igbos of this age. Are aware that orphans are successes today?
Nnamdi Azikiwe is dead so don't bring him into this matter. My question is how do we intend to stand independently with no FG allocation if Biafra is decleared today.

What do we have on ground in the SE states that can generate an equivalent of the FG allocation for us?

Give me a direct answer and stop bleating around the bush.

Blackkie:
You painted Ebonyi as a poor state, they must be the least in Igboland.
I never painted Ebonyi as a poor state. I only made mention of the light issue afikpo is currently facing (up till now) and how dave (the governor) is making life miserable for people.

Anybody living in Ebonyi state would agree with what I said.

Blackkie:
In Biafra, the way Nigeria drilled oil from Niger Delta to develop Lagos, Abuja and host of other states, the excesses of Anambra, Imo, Enugu and Abia states will be used revamp Ebonyi.
And how many oils drilled from Anambra, Imo, Enugu and Abia has been used to develope those states and create enough job opportunities?

Wouldn't you eat to your satisfaction before you consider about giving some to those who need it?

If we cannot use the oil in those SE states to develop our region, what makes you so certain that we will do so when biafra becomes a reality?

Or are you planing to employ and vote in saints and angels to manage the biafran affairs?

If we cannot choose credible leaders amongst ourselves would give us good governance, how are we sure that this present corrupt leaders wouldn't highjack the whole prosess and continue their self centered governance?

Blackkie:
This and more is what you will see how it will be programmed seamlessly. Tag along with this slogan ............... onye aghala nwanne ya.
My brother I'm not abandoning you...my arguments are in the best interest of Ndigbo in general

Blackkie:
I am Happy you mentioned Rochas as a deviant governor from the SE region for exporting a business that would have been done better at Ariara-Aba to China. He is an ApC governor. Anambra state under Mr. Obi bought more government vehicles from Innoson Motors. Thats the real Igbo signature.
True but that still doesn't justify Rochas actions, neither will it earse the fact that he prefers to patronise foreign compaines at the expense of the indigenous ones.

Blackkie:
* Dis-unity and inability to make accurate political calculations. Biko, are you a student of Lai Mohammed and Western Nigeria press? Did you think for yourself to come up with this or you are regurgitating what you have been feed? You need some demographic research and tutulage on the characteristics of each of the component make up of Nigeria. Igbos are republican in nature. However, Igbos are no more interested in Nigerian presidency, Biafra is a better option. But how many Jews are presidents in America.
Far better option indeed.

Who are going to be the leaders of this so call biafra, wouldn't it be the same people who have looted us dry?

Why is this biafran struggle done by the youths only?

If there's one thing I know, its that youths are easily compromised. If this biafran struggle becomes a reality I wouldn't be surprised when I see the likes of Orji Uzo kalu, T.A. Orji, Ohakim, Rochas, Ngige, Andy Uba, Nnamani, Sam Egwu...etc bribing, killing, and blackmailing each other just to get juicy slots in the new biafran government. And sadly its the same youths who protested, died, went to jail...etc who wouldn't hasitate to pick up arms and ensure that this same looters and crooks get into power.

That's my fear.

Blackkie:
SE without major FG presence has made quantum leap in all areas of life.
Examples include....

Blackkie:
In this century, they want to use Biafra to show the world that man has solutions to man made challenges. Just give Biafra a chance and you will see that Dubai is a childs play.
*exhales*

Just tell me how we plan on achieving that and I would pledge my loyalty to the movement.

We Need Good Leadership In The South East Not Biafra by Crazyman - A Rebuttal

Thank you for finding time to comment on the on going agitation in the SE by IPOB. Your opinions are wonderful yet intrinsically individual, know that you are an easterner. But your line of criticism is akin to what is obtainable at a bus stop after a Barca - Bayern game. Nwanne, okwu ana aso anya anaghi ebi gbooo.

Lets take a look at your postulations:-

* Do Biafra need ''powerful'' Igbo leaders to succeed? Can you kindly cast more light on that word powerful? Do you know what a generation mean? Have you heard about breaking the jinx? Why not speak for yourself as an incapacitated being who is unable to change his situation? Everyone cannot have your line thinking.

You need some tutorials about revolution. Zik, Awolowo, Balewa, Enahoro et al, were they ''powerful'' in the colonial days? Were they Emirs, Obas, Obis, VC's Ministers, Entrepreneurs during the struggle for Nigerian independence? How did they win? The so called powerful Igbo leaders are not key to the struggle.

If not for the fact that you are one of the faceless entities on Nairaland.com, i would have offered you a copy of Mandela's Long Walk To Freedom for your perusal. Before his incarceration, he was just a member of ANC's youth wing. He was never among the top ranking members of ANC yet he changed the history of South Africa. If you are given South African visa now, you will host a thanksgiving service before jetting out of the country.

* Jobs are created. They are not oil that is just drilled and sold. You mentioned government agencies that will relieve Biafrans of their current positions at the emergence of Biafra. Your common sense never told you that there will be similar parastatals in Biafra? Do you realise that Biafra is a country?

You can get to any part of Anambra in thirty miniutes on a good road. Among the Igbos, when there is no light, generator are always standing by.
Do we lack well equipped primary and secondary schools in South East yet Imo state has the highest number of professors in Nigeria? [refer to NUC]. In the national school enrollment and graduation index, all Igbo speaking states except Ebonyi ranks among the first 10. Drinking water - has any Igbo speaking state suffered from any water related epidemic? O no na ndo fu onwa no n'igwe.

In Biafra, the way Nigeria drilled oil from Niger Delta to develop Lagos, Abuja and host of other states, the excesses of Anambra, Imo, Enugu and Abia states will be used revamp Ebonyi. This and more is what you will see how it will be programmed seamlessly. Tag along with this slogan ...............onye aghala nwanne ya.

I am Happy you mentioned Rochas as a deviant governor from the SE region for exporting a business that would have been done better at Ariara-Aba to China. He is an ApC governor. Anambra state under Mr. Obi bought more government vehicles from Innoson Motors. Thats the real Igbo signature.

* Dis-unity and inability to make accurate political calculations. Biko, are you a student of Lai Mohammed and Western Nigeria press? Did you think for yourself to come up with this or you are regurgitating what you have been feed? You need some demographic research and tutulage on the characteristics of each of the component make up of Nigeria. Igbos are republican in nature. However, Igbos are no more interested in Nigerian presidency, Biafra is a better option. But how many Jews are presidents in America.

SE without major FG presence has made quantum leap in all areas of life. In this century, they want to use Biafra to show the world that man has solutions to man made challenges. Just give Biafra a chance and you will see that Dubai is a childs play.

We Need Good Leadership In The South East Not Biafra by Crazyman - A Rebuttal

Thank you for finding time to comment on the on going agitation in the SE by IPOB. Your opinions are wonderful yet intrinsically individual, know that you are an easterner. But your line of criticism is akin to what is obtainable at a bus stop after a Barca - Bayern game. Nwanne, okwu ana aso anya anaghi ebi gbooo.

Lets take a look at your postulations:-

* Do Biafra need ''powerful'' Igbo leaders to succeed? Can you kindly cast more light on that word powerful? Do you know what a generation mean? Have you heard about breaking the jinx? Why not speak for yourself as an incapacitated being who is unable to change his situation? Everyone cannot have your line thinking.

You need some tutorials about revolution. Zik, Awolowo, Balewa, Enahoro et al, were they ''powerful'' in the colonial days? Were they Emirs, Obas, Obis, VC's Ministers, Entrepreneurs during the struggle for Nigerian independence? How did they win? The so called powerful Igbo leaders are not key to the struggle.

If not for the fact that you are one of the faceless entities on Nairaland.com, i would have offered you a copy of Mandela's Long Walk To Freedom for your perusal. Before his incarceration, he was just a member of ANC's youth wing. He was never among the top ranking members of ANC yet he changed the history of South Africa. If you are given South African visa now, you will host a thanksgiving service before jetting out of the country.

Yes, Zik, Awolowo, Balewa, Ahmadu Bello were powerful in the colonial days. The were among the very few educated/enlightened Nigerians we had in those days. Emirs and Obas couldn't fight for independence cos most were grossly uneducated/enlightened. Zik for instance was the leader of Nigeria's foremost political party; National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) alongside Herbert Macaulay in 1944. Same with almost all the other leaders of the Nationalistic movements. Now the question is, How many leaders of political parties, top politician, Top Igbo technocrats are supporting your movement?

Let still go down a bit. What were the nationalist fighting for? Colonialism. Another man from another continent governing you and making you a slave in your own land. No matter how hard you try, you can never govern yourself. Now is it the same with what we have in the Nigeria of today? Does the average igbo man have the chance to govern Nigeria if he tried? Are the Igbos in Leadership Positions as we speak? Are igbos not or haven't being in top political posts in Nigeria? I need you to answer these questions.

* Jobs are created. They are not oil that is just drilled and sold. You mentioned government agencies that will relieve Biafrans of their current positions at the emergence of Biafra. Your common sense never told you that there will be similar parastatals in Biafra? Do you realise that Biafra is a country? Whatever office and trappings of officialdom you may have seen in Nigeria will also be in BIafra with excellent modifications.
You wrote about Exodus and its likely consequences. The exodus you witness every december in Igboland during december period, who takes care of it? Today, Lagos as a city ticks. Why if i may ask? Its only an issue of population and nothing else. One Biafra is flooded with returnees, meeting their daily needs is the business that empower and employ people worldwide.
But what percentage of Igbos do you have in government employment? Igbos are more of productive and functional entrepreneurs. After all in Nigeria the Igbos created their empires via independent input and subsequently pays tax to the FG. Don't worry, Biafrans will never miss Nigeria.

You cannot build a country on NOTHING. Do you know how long it would take a Biafra to get to put those offices in place. And using what revenue to set them up and get them running? What are your plans for revenue? Or do you still think Nigeria would be sending you monthly allowances if you get your biafra?

The igbo business, most of the time, is sustained by Nigeria. If there were ever going to be a Biafra, those Nigerian contacts would be lost. It would be very cheaper and easier for Nigerians to do business with ghana than biafra.



* SE is not impoverished. We are doing better than many states in the west and north. Anambra has a better road network than Lagos state. You may not know all this unless you are a frequent traveller and can compare and contrast. Our town unions help the state government extensively in core developmental projects. You can get to any part of Anambra in thirty miniutes on a good road. Among the Igbos, when there is no light, generator are always standing by.
Do we lack well equipped primary and secondary schools in South East yet Imo state has the highest number of professors in Nigeria? [refer to NUC]. In the national school enrollment and graduation index, all Igbo speaking states except Ebonyi ranks among the first 10. Drinking water - has any Igbo speaking state suffered from any water related epidemic? O no na ndo fu onwa no n'igwe.
I love this quotation of yours ''It is time for the Igbo youth to come together and reverse the trend of ubiquitious leadership ravishing Igboland and put a system that would enable the best of us emerge as leader'' This dream of yours is what Biafra has come to achieve. The process has begun with non-violent protest championed by those born in Biafra-the youths!

If SE is not improvised, what then is the justification for the call for secession? If we are among the most prospering states in Nigeria, how then are we being marginalized?



* Inability to stand independently. One of African Icons ans Igbo man, Nnamdi Azikiwe-Zik is a classic example to thrash your thinking. He sailed to the Americas empty handed and came back with just knowledge to liberate Nigeria from colonial dominance. Thus, so may Igbos of this age. Are aware that orphans are successes today?

You cannot succeed alone. No man is a forest. No matter how ingenious the igboman might be, He need collaborations. We need partnerships. And Nigeria, offers us most of that, right now.

You painted Ebonyi as a poor state, they must be the least in Igboland. In Biafra, the way Nigeria drilled oil from Niger Delta to develop Lagos, Abuja and host of other states, the excesses of Anambra, Imo, Enugu and Abia states will be used revamp Ebonyi. This and more is what you will see how it will be programmed seamlessly. Tag along with this slogan ...............onye aghala nwanne ya.

How many members of your immediate community have you helped? how many has Nnamdi Kanu helped. Igbo man would always want to prove his superiority even to his brothers. You can never find Anambra state helping Imo state, rather, if there were things coming to imo to make it mightier, you would see a typical anambra man blocking it, to seem to remain on top.

I am Happy you mentioned Rochas as a deviant governor from the SE region for exporting a business that would have been done better at Ariara-Aba to China. He is an ApC governor. Anambra state under Mr. Obi bought more government vehicles from Innoson Motors. Thats the real Igbo signature.

* Dis-unity and inability to make accurate political calculations. Biko, are you a student of Lai Mohammed and Western Nigeria press?

It is well evident that we igbos are very selfish. Last governorship primaries in IMO state had almost 24 candidates coming from just one Owerri political zone. An Ngwa man would rather vote for yoruba than vote an umuahia man.....it's the same everywhere.
