AfricanFinest:
So with this falsified and baseless but accusing article of yours you have become a hero...
Well I don't have much to say...
As the bodies they made mention like UN and likes are international bodies that will be the observants...

I strongly refuse to listen to you.
They didn't call for war per say...
What they called for is referendum.

Get a life op and stop living in self deceit and denial.

They didn't call for war but are trying to dictate to a sovereign nation how to run her own affairs. Who the hell are they to tell us "Nigeria would retain all debts", and "all FGN properties within Biafra territory would go to Biafrans".

Isn't that just about a declaration of war

SeverusSnape:

Truckpusher:
Another diversionary tactics from the agents of fake change - I won't leave any useful comment concerning secessionists here.
I just came here to tell you people that we've won Bayelsa state and your change chanting zombies have resorted to violence in Southern Ijaw as expected.
PDP !!

Omenka, it is a shame u have a name that Igbos give to strong men who aren't puss.ies

Iroh88:
Fair enough.

Rawani:
Nice write-up. The funny identity of the organization was the initial red flag, the agitators will grab onto anything to legitimize their illogical quest.

Truckpusher:
Iroh88 AKA Omenka, we are shitting on your thread like a no man's land.

What you gonna do ? Boy!

Xapio:
I'm not surprised that that ediotic criminal omenka will resort to writing this thrash while cowardly hiding under a new moniker..

Truckpusher:
My nigga , out of 8 local govt. We've won 6 and the fake change agent won only 1 local govt. and as soon as they saw the hand writing on the wall they resorted to violence in Southern Ijaw which have been cancelled by INEC after a massive protest rejecting the violent execution called election by uncle Bubu and his cohorts of night soil men.
Their online minions are here making thread for the Niger Delta and SE pro PDP /supporters to lock horns.
I ain't saying shiit!
PDP !!! Power to the people .

NgeneUkwenu:
Everything about Jonathan-defeat inspired agitation is gradually dying down. Just check out the last Saturday's election in Bayelsa, the Biafrauds were more concerned about the outcome of the election than the "Zoos"

SeverusSnape:

The obsequious servant hates the tribe (Igbo), but likes their names. But he's loyal to the Fulani hegemony.

Masterclass32:
This one didn't quite go the way OP hoped it would.

Maybe another day.

Ioannes:
secession is a legitimate aspiration and I am sure that if the Igbos go about it the right way then they will have it in no distant time.

going the way of that organization is a huge waste of time.

my own suggestion is that they should approach their kinsmen like Joy Ogwu who work in the UN and use such connections to obtain a referendum.

in the meanwhile, they could use their rogue radio station to educate their brothers and sisters on the need to vote a yes when the referendum is conducted, instead of preaching hate, violence and outright lies.

SIRTee15:


approaching joy ogwu is not the way out.
she has no say or influence in U.N to get them referendum.
biafrans are wasting their time if they keep hoping on U.N to single handedly hand them referendum.
what they need to do is exactly what Scottish did to achieve referendum.
ipob or massob should organize themselves into a political party or promote political platforms whereby they can ensure all political offices in biafran territories are occupied by pro-biafrans.
their governors, senators, HOR members, councillors, house of assembly members etc
then with one voice, they can advocate strongly for referendum with the backing of the electorate that voted them into office.
that's the only way the F.G and other regions can take them seriously and possibly consider their request.

Greetings.

Honestly, I have no idea where to begin this writing so before I proceed, I'd like for you guys to pardon me in advance if you find my style a bit off key.

Was having lunch with a coleague and upon refreshing the politics board, which is about the only place I visit on the forum, I saw this thread about a body that goes by the acronym OEAS calling for a "snap referendum" for the people of Biafra. I was somewhat taken aback because of a couple of reasons:

1. The newspaper that ran the story, pmnewsnigeria.com, is a fairly credible news media and as such represents a break from the tradition where we often get such tales from sources like thebreakingtimes, savingracereporters, igberetv, thetrentonline, and the rest of such purely propaganda sites.

2. Wired as it seems, a lot of folks celebrated the news as though their desire to have a separate country carved out of the current Nigeria has ALREADY been realized.

Make no mistakes, we all appreciate and understand the rights of every single ethnic group, or a combination of groups that make up a country, to self determination- that much is captured in the UN Charter of Peoples and Human Rights, a charter to which Nigeria is signatory. We also understand the roles such bodies as the UN, AU, and other such union of countries, play in event such as that under reference. We know the contributions they've made to World Peace and the promotion and protection of the course of humanity. This amorphous group, the Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS) does not and would NEVER stand for such courses. A quick walk through their site and you would understand why this poster holds this opinion.

Who/What is OEAS?

www.oeas.info/

A check on their site above gives one a clue as to who and what they represent:

First off, the admitted to be a "NEW" IGO, and from this, one would ask- of what importance is the opinion of some "very recently" established body to the course of this nature which could potentially determine the future of a country over a Hundred Years old?? Secondly, how difficult is it to type "NGO"?? To a discerning mind, these guys could simply pass for a group of layabouts in a hurry to gain recognition and couldn't care less about details. If one were to take it as a simple typo above which no one is, what would one say is the reason why that typo has been there running for over 4 hours??

Next, we see:
From this, one could clearly see these guys represent nothing but chaos and war- two scenarios that benefit no one but military contractors and rogue governments.

Most African countries had colonial masters who drew their boundaries- some of them are thriving while others aren't doing so well- but make no mistake, "colonial era boundaries" can hardly be said to be responsible for the backwardness of any of those countries.

Now, for those thriving, this body is tacitly calling for people to revolt against their governments because, according to them, the boundaries of their enclaves were drawn by colonial masters, and therefore, must be shattered. They hardly care about the implications of such action- chief amongst which is the loss of lives.

In addition, they refer to member states and one would ask- "States" as recognized by whom A run through their so called member states and you'd understand the Body is nothing but a conglomerate of Rebel and Terrorist Groups most of which have taken up arms against their host governments/nations. The tone of their language leaves one in no doubt what they stand for.

Now, this same group of Rebels, to which Biafra is a member, made a call for a referendum and stated conditions by which the Nigerian Government MUST abide in their fabled referendum and some folks are getting overly exited! Their press release, to those who see through their feeble propaganda, isn't worth more than the paper on which it was written. What happened isn't different than ISIS calling for a referendum for "Biafra".

So, to all those getting overly giddy about that news, sorry to throw a wet blanket over you, but identifying with that group would bring you no closer to realizing your dream for secession.

Eventually, we might have a referendum, but it would be based on our own terms as a country, and moderated by the UN and not some rag tag inconsequential group of rebels. Imagine the audacity of them telling the Nigerian government what to do.

You want to know how best to go about it, consult with South Sudan, I'm all too positive they'd be exited to share their experience.



I pretty much expect all the insults that would come my way over this.

God Bless Nigeria.
