Standing5: The GEJ tactics of using Biafra to simulate chaos isn't working. How come its only the paid GEJ die hards that are interested in this Biafra 'issue' most? FFK, The 40-laptop crew, and the whole GEJ faction of PDP? Probes must continue. [size=13pt] They supported GEJ because he was SS just because it made them feel a sense of power (by proxy). Since GEJ came from the SS, they adopted him as their own. They liked the idea of him being accepted as Nigerian president as a precursor to Nigerians accepting the idea of an Igbo man as a president because believe it or not, they already know how unattractive an Igbo man as a presidential candidate is to the generality of the Nigerian populace.
So GEJ loosing the election the way he did (when they wanted him to win) just infuriated them. Believe it or not, they firmly believed that after GEJ, it would be an Igbo man in 2019. Now we all know that was not going to happen but believe me, it was a very tangible hope to them. So GEJ losing the way he did impressed in their minds that there was no hope for this hoped acceptance of a president of Igbo extraction. This happened to them in both a conscious and subconscious level.
There is hardly any election season in which agitations for Biafra and for an Igbo presidency do not increase together. Oh yes, if GEJ had not lost they would not be protesting now. But the implication of his loss was more devastating to their political calculations than to any other group of people. That is why they are even more grieved than the south-south whose son actually lost the elections.
Remember the typical Igbo man's mind politically is "Give us Biafra or the Presidency". They are not really committed to the Nigerian project unless they are becoming president and if it is looking like they are not, they sing Biafran songs.

palladin: Stupidity is when you register for the Nigerian BVN then come online to shout Biafra.
Foolishness is when you live and work in Lagos and you're clamoring for Biafra
Madness is when you do the two mentioned above. Stupidity is when you nationalize in other countries and keep shouting one Nigeria. Foolishnes in when all your family member sleeps on empty stomach and wake up the next môrning clamoring for one Nigeria. Madness is when the Zoo police slaps and humilates you on you right and you continue to shout 'Police is your friend'. Finally, baasztard is when your mother is confused as to whom among all the under-the-bridge drivers and conductors is your father. |

Rollingdice: ON THE BIAFRAN BROUHAHA… I have watched with keen interest the brouhaha generated by the call for secession by the “Biafran people”. Some days back, I saw a picture of some South Sudanese eating grass as food (I do not have empirical evidence whether it is true or not). One thing immediately struck me. Some years back, when the agitation for the creation of South Sudan was at the peak, we all thought that by now, South Sudan will be in a state of “oyunua”(wonderment), especially because of the abundance of oil. Alas, we all know the true story. No sooner had they achieved independence that they remembered that they were not only South Sudanese but belong to diverse tribes. Today, the newest African country is involved in a state of “wadoghe” and “filaga filogo”(apologies to Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon). Today, all the promises the nascent nation once held are no longer there. There is no more Omar Al-Bashir to blame for their calamity. Every mallam is now with his kettle. Similarly, in the build-up to our independence, Ahmadu Bello, Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Abubakar Tafewa Balewa were ALL Nigerians, they were not Ibos, hausas, yorubas etc. Immediately we became a nation, everyone suddenly rem remembered his tribe. For those who have studied the BH phenomenon, you will discover that one of the factors that aided the acceptance of the sect in the north=east is what I call the “gbogbonise effect”. This is the belief that should Sharia’h law become implemented, then most of the problems would automatically die a natural death. Methinks it is the same factor driving the quest for Biafra- the belief that if Biafra secedes, all the problems facing the igbo people will automatically vanish. Fa-fa-fa- foul!!! So, the Aguleri man and the Umuleri man will suddenly become chums? The Abia/Imo mnn will permit his child to marry from Enugu/Anambra? Ask the igbo man what his problem is and he will tell you he is suffering “marginalisation”. I laugh whenever I hear this. You want to know what marginalisation is? Let me tell you. The Idoma man hails from Benue state, but can never dream of governing the state. Same for the Igbirra man, the Irigwe man, the Akoko-Edo, the Ogoni man cannot dream of ruling Kogi, Plateau, Edo and Rivers states respectively. And you talk of marginalisation? Which tribe is not being marginalised? Some tribes have not gotten as much as a special adviser in their state not to talk of Commissioner or minister. Therefore, your cry of marginalisation is not peculiar to your tribe alone. Besides, who said access to political appointment is a sine qua non to the development of an ethnic group? By now, the north would be a paradise of some sort. A state like Ogun would have been a paradise having had their son rule the nation for over eleven years, minus other appointments that may have been made from the state. The idea that once Biafra is attained, everything will be transformed is nothing but laughable. When you bicker about how the federal government has treated your region, what have you done to your governors and local government chairmen? Are you not the same people who have consistently elected a clown like Rochas, and inefficient governors like Ikedi Ohakim or T.A. Orji? The igboman should stop blaming every other person for his woes. I do not think I would be wrong if I say the south-east has the worst network of roads as a region (perhaps, excluding Enugu state). Have the governors done anything to fix these roads? Just in case you do not know, some state government have been fixing federal roads. Truth be told, the igbos as we speak hold the economy of this nation in their hands. They control almost all the business ventures in Nigeria. Go to any state nationwide and remove the Ibo investment and see what happens to that state. One time the ibos closed shops in protest over a member of theirs who got killed, the town got grounded. That is how powerful they are economically. The question that needs to be asked is, why does the Ibo man find it more convenient to invest outside the South-east that at home? I have met some ibo people who told me they will rather remain in the north than return home, because they do not want to be killed in their primes. As we speak, more people are still coming to the north from the east. For the igbos, I would recommend what Ichie Benjamin Amaechi would call “economic Biafra”. This refers to the economic development of the South-east. The Igbos should invest more at home and develop the region, rather than being cry- babies shouting “marginalisation” and “secession”. Imagine if Aba were to be a big manufacturing hub like Guangzhou in China and Onitsha a huge market hub, Imagine if Ndigbo built more industries at home, rather than abroad or outside the region. Take a cue from the Jews. They are hardly interested in governing America but because of their economic powers, they play a critical role in who governs America. I stand to be corrected but I think Joe Liebermann is the only Jew I know to have sought a high-ranking office (and he even ran as vice-president. Yet, the Jews control almost every facet of the country’s life. That is why the USA will are not take any step inimical to the interest of the Jews in the Middle East. Dem wan die? Another interesting factor is how the proponents abuse every other person (including Ibos) who does not buy their ideologies. They keep referring to Scotland and Cataluna. While the Scots were going about the referendum for independence, I never heard them refer to the Unite Kingdom as a “zoo”. Neither did they abuse the Welsh, English or Northern Irish. They went about it maturely and in a civilised manner, till they got what they wanted. I never heard the Catalans blames or insult the Basques or threatened them. They went about it till they got what they wanted. Here, the Biafran agitators would insult the yorubas, the hausas and everyone and blame everyone minus themselves for their woes One other funny thing I must say that most of the people carrying the matter on their heads are people who would probably not have a total net-worth of u-p to a hundred thousand naira an some who still feel pained that the man they supported in the last elections (who has moved on with his life) lost the election. The part I do not understand is how they want to co-opt the south-south by fire, by force into their Biafra. Ojukwu did it in 1967, running away to Ivory Coast when the heat became too much and left Phillip Effiong, a S/Southerner to do the job of handing over, only to return years later, when they smoke had settled. Nnamdi Kanu is in the UK, enjoying all the good things of life because there is a government that works am you who do not have up to N5,000 in your pocket, you are joining him to make noise about war and succession? I pity you. I have witnessed a little bit of crisis in Jos an I do not need a dibia to tell me that war is a more horrible situation that must be avoided at all cost. Try and watch Al-Jazeera, CNN. Fox CCTV and other international stations and see what was does to a nation. Even those wey bi say when dem dey school, frat men show hostel, dem go enter under bed still join dey make mouth say they are ready for war. Dem dey count meat for soup, “kpomo” sef dey raise muscle. Dem dey count animals with horns, Snail go mark register (Albert Einstein, 2005) Assuming without conceding (Go forbids!!!) that it happens, so na Nnamdi Kanu go be una “Onye-isi? If succession must be done, it should be one in line with internationally agreed ways of so doing, and not to threaten violence and insult people Meanwhile, those wey come dey lament say FG no give dem job, yet call Nigeria a zoo, una case ehn Amadioha still dey research wetin im go d o to una. Una ndooooo!!!! As an aside, why has Nnanmdi Kanu not been able to meet his bail conditions? So, no Igbo man can come forward to be a surety? Also, why are the Igbo elites not expressing support for the Biafran cause?

Firstly you need to go look up the definition of a street urchin, 'cus I doubt you know what it means. Secondly, that the man is a Keke driver does not mean he is probably not smarter than Bill Gate. You don't know why he is in this present condition, but the fact still remains that he is making an honest living and is in no way a street urchin. At least, he is bold enough to stand up for what he believes in and is doing his own part to create awareness about Biafra. While you that claims to be 'sophisticated' is jumping around telling us of how Igbo you are, yet you've done nothing to help promote the Igbo cause. I've noticed that people who look down on others are usually not better than those they are looking down on. Marinate on that! The igbo people giving u likes, do u realise they are on Nairaland(made by a Yoruba dude) and cannot do without it? do u know most of them live and make ends meet in South west, SS and North? Do u knw some of them are employed by d zoo? My point is dat..is people like you dat causes problem 4 other igbo people due to ur low self esteem.

Do you know that there are so many of your brothers eking our a living in Biafra land as herbal medicine sellers, tailors, and masons? Do you know that the oil money being used to feed you Nigerians is coming from Biafra land? Do you know that the oil companies in Biafra land employ most of your people who would have otherwise been petty Cocoa or groundnut farmers?
My point is dat..is people like you dat causes problem 4 other igbo people due to ur low self esteem.
Kindly explain what says that I have low self esteem from my comments?
How many known igbo in Lagos or south west have u seen clamouring 4 Biafra?
Ndị Igbo in first World countries like America, and UK have been very vocal about Biafra, and you expect me to be more concerned about Igbo leaders residing in backward SW, which is part of the zoo called Nigeria? What insolence!
Sister go and get a job okay and dont bring another massacre on Innocent igbos.
Why should there be a massacre of my people simply because we do not want to remain your compatriots? Are you Nigerians blood thirsty animals?
