But the Medium/Carrier/Bearer of the Ideology Can be Destroyed.

The only way to destroy a Message is to kill the Messenger.

That's why the Ideology of BH and IS(Daesh) proved fatal but can be REDUCED or Destroyed by Annihilation the Carrier of the Ideology.

My people up SE are clamoring for their freedom, which in a saner clime must be diplomatically resolved. Our marriage ends in 2014, we should come together now to decide if we are going to Stay together or file a letter of Divorce.

The non-implementation of the objectives of the Conference we had in Abuja under the last administration is one major blockade to peace.

please enlighten us about the marriage that ends in 2014

Diplomacy and Dialogue yes. But the agitators must first drop Biafra and substitute Igbos(Ibos) or The Countries of se of Nigeria. By this we know who is talking to who. Biafra no longer exists in the Nigerian systems.
I agree totally....but why is ur ibo in parenthesis...its adulterated...its igbo!!!

actually i don't have any problem with the biafra leaving this country it is there right. had it being that it is the northerners that got oil and want leave the country i am pretty sure no one will dare to stop them. the igbos has been made second class citizens in thier fatherland they must fight to liberate themselves even if means living in a landlock poverty stricken land,as far as they are independent at least they materialise there dream.

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has emphasized the need for the country’s leadership to approach the agitations for Biafra in a more diplomatic way.

In an exclusive interview on our programme, Channels Book Club, the Nobel laureate said that every ethnic group should be made to feel like a part of the country and good old dialogue is the way to go.

“I wrote an article during the war that Biafra cannot be defeated. People misunderstood what I was saying.

“Once an idea has taken hold, you cannot destroy that idea. You may destroy the people, the carriers of that idea on the battle field but ultimately it’s not the end of the story.

“Let’s not take this position of ‘don’t even talk about it’, ‘under my watch this will never happen’, don’t say things like that. Go into that environment and ask ‘what is it that we can do to make you happy and feel part of this entity?’

“Listen to some other Biafrans and ask them why they want to stay (and say) ‘this is what we are ready to push as the overall authority in this area’.

“Don’t go around saying ‘the sovereignty of the country is indivisible, it’s non-negotiable’ all that kind of language will only make matters worse,” he said.

Kai, God bless professor Wole Soyinka, this man is truly a Noble laureate.

truth is always bitter. this prof always calls a spade a spade. but if the truth is against you, you call him names; if it is in line with you, you call him hero. in this particular thread many will not remember that this prof is been tagged the initiator of cultism in Nigeria because his talk is in line with theirs. why do we hate the truth in this nation?

Let Biafrans be armed already.

As a Biafran, u are called to fight and f ight for your fatherland. Fight to defend your parents, fight to defend ur siblings, fight to defend ur land, fight to defend Biafra, fight to defend freedom, fight to have a better future for ur generation, fight to separate from Islamic yoruba and hausa.



Remember, being a coward will make the enemy kill not just u, but ur mother, ur siblings, ur aged and destruction of ur places.




Bring out urself, ur determination, the spirit,resolve and the doggedness in u to defend ur freedom. No retreat.

You are a dengerious mobilizer.

Yes be that as it may, I still believe the idea of Biafra is just a means for some disgruntled south easterners to cause trouble. They should know not every easterners buy the idea of Biafra.

I'll even want to ask them why they didn't launch this ridiculous crusade during the past administration, how come they're launching it now? The guise of marginalization is just a ruse they want to use to stir trouble.

My dear wake up! we are no longer in the past but present!
If U belong to Ndigbo race when it is time for referendum vote YES or NO simple!

The sovereignty of Nigeria can't be compromised. However, Boko Haram is tearing us apart.

Diplomacy remains the basic idea. Its never fair when you make a set of people feel marginalised.

Even in a family, when you show some of your children more love, you stand the chance of causing hate amongt your children.

We can't afford to loose the Igbos. Things would never be the same again in Nigeria, if they leave.

Nigeria is better as this larger whole that we are.
