Nonsense. The only thing I condemn is the violence and protest that has been attributed to IPOB. A group of people can decide if they want to be together in a country or not. If Britain agreed for Scotland to have a referendum on independence why should it be denied people in the south east if that's what they want. Give them referendum and if they vote to go it's goodbye Nigeria. I grew up in the North and I saw the hatred Hausas have for Igbos coming on nairaland showed how much hatred some yourubas have for Igbos. If this much hatred exists then it's folly to want to share a country.
I can understand a Ghanian's hatred for a Nigerian, at least they don't share a country but hating on a fellow Nigerian because of tribe is confounding.

[size=13pt] This is always the problem of the Igbo race. Many of our leaders are sell-outs, each only after his own pocket. You will never see the the Ooni of Ife, Olubadan of Ibadan or Alaafin of Oyo condemn the activities of the Oodua Peoples Congress as long as the activities remain peaceful.
The Sultan of Sokoto has never reprimanded the Arewa Forum, even in their occasional maniacal ranting.
A member of the Boko Haram was seen in the house of Sen. Ali Ndume. What happened to the case? Nothing
Today, Rochas Okorocha is grovelling for the favour of Northerners at the expense of his own people.

IPOB doesn't want war. Only weapon manufacturers ever want war.. All we want is a fair chance at self-expression and progress

Nonsense. Scotland is a country and not a borough or province. And in relation to Nigeria, Scotland is not a state. Imagine city of Manchester or Coventry wanting to secede from England and become a sovereign state.

IPOB are rebels and should be dealt with mercilessly. Nigeria is too ethnically mixed for a small group of rebels to want to divide us. What happened to millions of Igbos that are married to Yorubas, Hausas and other tribes? Biafra was defeated and will be defeated and destroyed one more time.

No one is treating Igbos wrongly. They have a fair share in the ministerial portfolios. They are doing well all over Nigeria. Why the divide then?

Imagine!!! And I used to have a high respect for the f00l way call himself obi. All the individuals I used yo have respect for aka utomi, mbaka and now obi of Onitsha just shows why Igbo should get biafra. Niggeria corrupts the mind and limits our ways of justice.

If this was the past, obi of Onitsha would have been dethroned instantly for speaking against situations dear to his people all because of "political correctness".

Onitsha people your freaking king have been compromised. I'm now thinking Onitsha is not moving in high rate as it supposed to be because of him. Get unaselves a new obi cause this one is now your version of mbaka

Kyase:
The paramount ruler and Obi of Onitsha in Anambra State, Igwe Alfred Achebe, has condemned the widespread protests by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who are calling for the separation ofthe entire south-east regionfrom Nigeria.The condemnation came on the heels of agitations and protests for Biafra nation across parts of the country, especially as the protesters clamoured for the release of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who had been in detention since October.Speaking in an interview shortly after his inauguration as the Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, IgweAchebe told the protesters to shelve the idea of secession from the rest of Nigeria.He said that such agitation would only amount to violating the constitution ofthe country and the principles of democracy.The traditional ruler reminded the pro Biafra agitators of the inherent dangers involved in their action, emphasising that Nigeria remained a united and indivisible country irrespective of the numerous challenges.He urged them to channel all their grievances to their elected representatives in the National Assembly for consideration, rather than embarking on violent protests that could result into breakdown of law and order in the region.- TodayNG

Obi of Onitsha can say whatever he wants...e no concern us. He's obi of Onitsha, not obi of Igboland.

He's not my king. Asagba Is my king and even if asagba denounces Biafra, I'll tell him to shut up as well.

Biafra is here to stay. Any sellout, king or no king, can pack his or her bag and waka commot to any land belonging to the zoo. Biafra does not want or need saboteur.

Obi of Onitsha Shut up and go sit down.

thoth:
Very few people on here knows anything about the Onitsha people and their sabotage of igbo aspirations since the time of the civil war, only an ignorant igboman who is not educated in his history would accept an Onitsha as a revolutionary.
From the 70's during the short period of military occupation of the eastern Nigeria till late they have always sabotaged, undermined and spied on igbo movements.
Find any Onitsha indigene and ask him if he is a Biafran ? don't be surprised about his reply. If you really want to be astounded get an Onitsha man and ask him whether he is IGBO ? if you find his reply shocking then you really need a thorough education of post-colonial history of the south-east till date.

ichidodo:
Biafra is a socio-political movement that has gone beyond the realm of igbo tradition, myth and legend... why do you suppose most non igbos whose ancestral lands are east of the Niger identify with the cause?? Rubbish,for political expediency and strategic military alliance we prefer the word of Paul Biya or Omar Bongo or any one with close ties on this issue than selfish, money grubbing traditional rulers....

any south Easterner that comes out for Nigeria presidency will loose completely mark my words. we shall not vote him. we the youth are not only trying to liberate our land from old greedy fools, we are also going to take mantle of leadership for good.
Even here in the U.S, there is "hatred" or "competition" among the various tribes (latino americans,blacks, those from the south, immigrant americans etc) If America can still manage to survive as one great country despite the diversity which even seems to exceed that in Nigeria in my view, then Nigeria can certainly survive. Igbos should be wise and position themselves for the next election rather than breaking bonds and alliances that could help to win elections. That is what is called politics and democracy. Soon 4 years will come and with all the endless agitation from your region, you will expect Yorubas or Hausas or middle beltans to vote for a presidential candidate from your region.

Deepfreezer:
We all can see Dark cloud in this nation. especially the south east that heavy rain will soon fall and when it falls it will flood those old, greedy, selfish and money corrupt saboteurs in our midst. as we the youths marched fearlessly to every corner of the East. we shall March together to Obi s house destroy everything he purposes and seize what ever investment hes got in the entire south East.
foolish man was bribed and made a chancellor in the north and he started miss yarning. OBI ACHEBE you're a goat!!!

jascon1:
you need to be grateful to the northerners for feeding you, and to the Yorubas for giving you a home away from home. No one stops you from leaving, but just as you crave for your rights you defiantly want to deny others theirs. The Niger deltans have clearly turned down any prospects of joining biafra. Then group yourselves together Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia and go. Consolidate n propose a bid and in less than 3 months you will gain your freedom. Rather, y'all planning to make fortunes on someone else's assets.

ibos don't have kings or respect their elders anyway. This ibo igwe is a mere civil servant and will be insulted by his fellow ibos soon. Watchout!
