Is Benue State Part Of Biafra? by enlightenedmind: 9:08pm On Apr 21, 2016
Please just a quick question. Just incase, let's know where we belong. Is Benue state part of Biafra. Considering Benue is the only Predominatly Christian state unfortunately classified as "North-Central". What are we please?

And are we prepared to live under d caliphate/koran laws.

If they want to be Biafrans nobody is stopping them. You only need common sense to be Biafran. Even the sultan of Sokoto if he becones sensible tommorow and understand that All men are created equal and ban the Almajiri/ Feudal social system, by default he becomes Biafr*n.

Benue will not be part of Biafra ...there are Muslim elements in benue and I think Biafra will not be comfortable with Muslim and Muslim will not be comfortable in Biafra


Yes we have Igbo indigenous to benue...automatically they are biafrans but agatu,idoma,igalla must apply..they were the ones used to fight the igbos ..but that is noted and forgiven


I think Biafra is and will be only a Christian thing

Nwa chineke...love this! One thing that makes me cherish Biiafra is the principle that all men are created equal...very powerful! A principle that is the core of the Igbo culture!

There are no Muslims in the South-East. Stop that useless propaganda. All muslims in Igboland are immigrants and they will be properly accomodated because Igbos are highly tolerant people.

TODAY IN HISTORY!!!

Shortly after dawn broke on April 22, 1990, the following broadcast was heard over the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in Lagos:

"Fellow Nigerian Citizens, On behalf of the patriotic and well-meaning peoples of the Middle Belt and the southern parts of this country, I , Major Gideon Orkar, wish to happily inform you of the successful ousting of the dictatorial, corrupt, drug baronish, evil man, deceitful, homo-sexually-centered, prodigalistic, un-patriotic administration of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida. We have equally commenced their trials for unabated corruption, mismanagement of national economy, the murders of Dele Giwa, Major-General Mamman Vatsa, with other officers as there was no attempted coup but mere intentions that were yet to materialise and other human rights violations.

The National Guard already in its formative stage is disbanded with immediate effect. Decrees Number 2 and 46 are hereby abrogated. We wish to emphasise that this is not just another coup but a well conceived, planned and executed revolution for the marginalised, oppressed and enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from eternal slavery and colonisation by a clique of this country.

Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south.

They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt and making them voiceless and now extending same to the south. It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination, oppression and marginalisation is against the wish of God and therefore, must be resisted with the vehemence.

Anything that has a begin. Gideon Orkaa

Then let them denounce Islam ..espouse and remove every iota of Islam in them, change their names from suilaman to Solomon, dauda to David ..then they should come for baptism classes ...they will be baptised by immersion and they should know the declaration of Christian faith and read I believe in one God and accept Jesus Christ as lord and personal saviour ...then and only then they will be considered ..it won't be automatic membership but they have to prove it.


We can't and will not have Islamic mentality in the new place ..the Islamic benue people should stay in their Islamic state ....as of benue Christian ..I am sorry there is nothing we can do about it

Fairness, justice and equality is what we need to make Nigeria better. Unfortunatly I don't see this happening wit Muslims. Yes a new country is needed, It will be best when it includes the Yorubas bar Kwara.

I am saying this because the number of intermarriages between Igbo and Yorubas is actually much. Some familes are made Igbos and Yorubas . I am not talking about those ones we hear I an talking about the ones I see. For e.g my cousin is set to marry a yoruba man from Ibadan.

So what are you saying ? Let us not even talk about Yoruba inclusion because it will never happen...we can have diplomatic and bileteral relationship with Yoruba as friends but they will never be part of the country...my own suggestion


They will have automatic resident permit and business permits as the bileteral agreement stipulate but that won't amount to citizenship ...even in the case of intermarriage unless an Igbo man married a Yoruba woman ..the woman won't be Biafra but kids biafran...same with the Yoruba ..if a Yoruba man married Igbo woman ..the woman is biafran but the kids are not biafran

These would be sorted out in the bileteral and diplomatic agreement ...there might be joint forces and joint naval agreement ....also thwrw will be nautical agreement


Thus we have a good friendship ..we have developed a sweet sour relationship and we intend it to continue but in an unstoppable unsophisticated manner ....

What we are scared of and wary of is Islamic tendency and that we will not want to happen...we have seen the Islamic gift to the world and we are not in a haste to accept that gift ..we can view from a distance

But that is the due process ..I am sorry if it's too long but it must be followed meticulously.

I didn't even say the mastery if king James version from genesis to revelation.. This will erase all Islamic knowledge in their brain ..but that is been debated upon .


Do you know the carnage Islamic mentality can do?

If you know these...you will understand that this is even small to what is applicable in Angola and Japan



Have you ever heard of terrorist attack in those countries?

There is no Muslim there and they will not accept it ..even in Brazil and manybsouth America like Argentina

We need not bother about citizenship. The international standards of citizenship will most likely apply. Just stringent laws on Islam are needed.

Have you not seen the result of accommodation in Germany ,in France , in Sweden and bring it home in agatu,in mile 12 and else where

There will be a resolution on the mode of accommodation.. In short they will be quarantined not accommodated if there is any facility for that .
