its OK. It would soon filter online. Blocking roads does not disrupt economic activities right? People are stranded at hradbridge Onitsha and other parts of SE

My dear, stop writing what you don't know.
Biafra agitation has been on, even before, during and after GEJ Administration. It didn't escalate during past administrations because they were careful about it. To further explain how wrong you're, MASSOB, sometime last year, tried to hijack ESBS To make a live broadcast in Enugu but they were stopped by armed forces, arrests made. But what GEJ didn't do was arresting people during peaceful protest, or arresting Nnamdi Kanu.

Now, see how Buhari got it wrong and stirred up the agitation. After election, Nigeria was more than ever divided, the country was tensed. The right thing wasn't arresting peaceful protesters or arresting their head, Nnamdi Kanu. The south East has a legitimate complaint of marginalisation, the right approach was to reposition his government and work towards fair governance to all Nigerians, but he rather went after peaceful protesters who has been quietly agitating without media attention, even Radio biafra wasn't that popular until Buhari arrested Kanu. He kept making inflammatory comments, 5% comes to mind, not to mention the one sided federal appointments. These things made a quiet fraction of MASSOB And the always Vocal IPOB to intensify the agitation. Trust media, they made then celebrities at once.

I never listened to radio biafra, but from report about use of words by Nnamdi Kanu, I believe he has some questions to answer but arresting him at this time was ill timed, he wasn't important at the moment. But Buhari has made him important.

We are surviving, we aren't the worst region in Nigeria, even with all the marginalisation, economic, educational indices and other indices proves that. Someone like me would not support Biafra if the Nigeria government can be fair. I see no reason why other regions will have international airport, some regions even got two, but non in the south East, after 52 years of existence of Nigeria, more than half a century. It's pure wickedness, such suppressed people has every right to agitate.

Some of the so called leaders re just kids who still need direction. If someone of Yerima status can state something like this then his brain should be checked. The main question is why this so called agitation were not in place during GEJ era when igbo were at the fore front of this government. As well, no one is saying igbo should not be on their own. But any region that want to bring down the well being of this nation need harsh treatment. I agree that south east can stand alone cos they contribute little or nothing to this nation but bringing any part of the nation for their agitation is total war. I wish to state that Nigeria will not condone any act that may destroy the unity of our great nation.

Yes you are right, not all Igbos want Biafra, but based on what I'm seeing and the vibes and sentiment about Biafra anytime i travel home; i can tell you a lot of Igbos have been caught up with the Biafran agitation. A lot of people support it now with all seriousness. I really don't know what brought about these renewed and intensified agitations, but a lot of Igbos have really keyed in into it. Don't be deceived with what they are saying online that the agitation and protests are being carried out by touts. This is a very fat lie! The last protests i witnessed has a lot of quality people that i never knew will identify with such protest openly. My brother, if they should organize a referendum now, I'm very sure a lot of Igbos will vote to have Biafra. Don't be deceived by those who say they don't give a shiit about Biafra, when the time comes you will see them voting in favour of Biafra. I heard from grapevine the last time i travelled that many prominent Igbo sons and daughters both in diaspora and home are supporting the cause both financially and otherwise. The only person I'm blaming for this renewed agitation is Buhari, his 5% comment, the lopsided appointment he made and the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu fueled the renewed agitations. He should have ignored him. Don't forget that Nnamdi Kanu started this struggle during Jonathan's administration, but he was able to prevent the agitation from spiralling by just ignoring them and giving the Igbos a sense of belonging in his Govt.

sukkot:
but you are wrong. there is strength in diversity. each person bring their strengths to the table. however the strengths in our diversity has not been properly harnessed by our leaders. so we all should be fighting the oppressors who are the kleptocracy, not this little nonsense side biafran adventure that you are embarking on. no nation in this world is homogeneous. every successful nation comprises of a mixture of different races and tribes. the most succeful nations in the world are the most diversified. point being you biafrans are being myopic with this your homogeneous dream

Lanceslot:
Idiiot if Nnamdi is fighting for his stomach he would've been released long time ago... Btw we all know your Edo state is not part of Biafra, no argument on that.

livinbygrace:


You are a bastard for saying Yorubas are coward.Nonsense!!

kozmokaz:
were u expecting dem to go and protest in d Bush?


protest are done were d impact would b felt and if blocking d road will make d fed govt act; den so be it !!

saltbelly:
this is what people say when the heat isn't affecting them yet. The igbos I know that support Biafra are not willing to pay any price. They complain when they are asked not to open their shops. They are always like "must we be made to suffer by our own people?" "Must we close our shops whenever NNAMDI KANU goes to court?"

charlzchudi:


Strength in diversity but unity. I agree. But does kitty cats have any strength at all to bring to table? Then again, how can kitty cats survive or show it potentials in the present of lions?
So if ordinary citizen of Nigeria like you could term some lions and others as kitty cats, is there any hope of harnessing these strengths and potentials?
You as a leader calling Biafra agitation myopic and little nonsense means that you like other of leaders who have in many ways fail to address the truths in Nigeria.

happney65:
But do an average Ibo Man or Woman really wants to leave Nigeria?To me the clamour for biafra is just from a minute few..Ibo's are all over Nigeria doing good..Inter tribal Marriages,Have got an Ibo girlfriend who doesnt even give a hoot about Biafra..Have got ibo friend's..I mean i think this clamour is just from a few nowadays and not the general ibo..My Take

Jyah01:
We the Niger deltan r not going to join the biafara we only need resource control.

thats why you need good leadership to organize the division of labor based on the strengths of the different people. hausas are known to not be scared of death. so you utilize that strength by putting them in the army. yorubas are known to be the best administrators so you utilize that. igbos are good business men so you utilize that strength. use everyones strenght. thats the quality of a good leader. harness the strenghts of the various groups. identify their stregths and weaknesses. so what we have is a paucity of leadership. this your biafran agitation is just a distraction and is not the solution. in fact it will end up being a disaster for you because too many cooks on the same boat is bad. every igbo man wants to get rich by any means necessary so a nation full of igbo people only will be full of kidnappers and armed robbers and organized crime and heavy drug trafficking crimes etc etc. you cant have too many people with the same mindset on the same ship or it will sink

One thing about truth is that, even if you put it upside down and hit on the concrete floor many times, it is still the truth.


Lalasticlala, good morning, this needs to grace FP to balance the anti-Biafra views many hold. It is fair that you put it there too.

A yoruba man wrote some few minutes ago.
I have brainstormed about Biafra, as a Yoruba man I just wanna say, I think this is a matter of National interest, which requires absolute care, if the government does anyhow with it, it could cause another Instability, loss of life and property.
I see people who are soaked in their belief, radicalised and won't give up unless they die or actualise their aim.
I know some people will come and rubbish this as nonsense but let's remember one thing there is no burning bush that does not start without a small little flame.
As for we Yorubas, I hope our cowardice does not lead us to extinction and mediocrity

suwalee:
I'm SS I jst hope dey don't join all dis yeeBos to leave naija cos at the end dey ain't trustworthy nnamdi Kalu is fighting for his own stomach wen d country divides that's wen we will kno if they all mean well for us I still stand for a one nigeria

Before Nigeria existed igbos co-existed peacefully and same with the yoruba nation so what's the deal?

thats a big lie. igbos did not co-exist peacefully. there was a high incidence of cannibalism and warfare and violence in igbo enclaves. you walked around nak-ed, fighting in town squares for new yam etc. but look at you today ? you are now cosmopolitan because you joined the nigerian fold. this nigerian thing has helped the igbo tribe more than any other tribe in nigeria. you have benefited the most from it
