Everybody today is making the same call Ojukwu made about 50years ago.
Atiku has called for restructuring.
Ambode yesterday talked about it.
Emir Sanusi had also asked for Nigeria to be restructured but those at Abuja dont want to listen.

Now that Pastor Femi is a close buddy to our president, wont it be wise someone draw his attention back to this article so that he read it to his master‘s ears (he can hear well now, i believe).
Buhari should listen to all these voices that are crying in the wilderness of Nigeria.

One funny thing about internet is that once u told her something she doesnt forget it. Femi might have forgotn this but computer refused to forget it.


Seun, lalasticlala, mynd44, ishilove please take this post to FP, so that Pastor Femi can read & get refreshed.
Also to set he RECORD straigth the Dim Ojukwu never wanted Nigeria to break.
Posterity should record this

“we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country.

“I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.”

Contrast this with Kanu's violent/terror/hate speeches.

About Femi, Aso Villa does things to your mind you wouldn't have believed possible . . . OTOH, his job description is different now, and we are just 1 year in in this admin, amidst economic turmoil. Let's quench the fire first, then we can re-design the property.

Proof?

This thread is not meant to discuss Biafra but then,

Ojukwu's discourse came before the war, prompted by a 'mere' crises that threatened the unity of Nigeria at that time.
Nnamdi Kanu's came after this war. An emotion birthed by the massacre, unjustified to him and many, of millions of his people.

Know that.

Now ask yourself, What has Nigeria done to re-orientate that mindset that necessitated both Ojukwu's speech and Nnamdi Kanu's 'hate' aside hounding and killing them further?

"The mission of Radio Biafra is very simple: To get Biafra, by every means necessary and possible, including war," and "Nigeria will be completely bombed to the ground. Be prepared for that".

“When we speak, the Zoo trembles. That is what happens when a cattle rearing terrorist and pedophile is your ruler. Message to every #Hardcore Biafran, if you find anybody in your village asking after Radio Biafra, kill the Baboon Awusa Fulani or Yoruba bast*ard. Let them keep searching as we keep tweeting for Biafra. Lunatics.”

Earlier in October 2015, a woman claiming to be a former PR coordinator for Radio Biafra, Chioma Amaryllis, released an interview in which she claimed she left the radio station and moved back to Nigeria due to the "lies and misinformation".

She alleged: "Money was being collected and used for other things. I was not going to be part of a ploy that was going to exploit the ignorance of people."

paschu:


How about citing a credible source for this "chioma" of a press release?

KissCODE:
remember that Kanu‘s “hate“ speech as u termed is a post civil war speech. It is because what was happening before the war is still happening while “Aburi“ accord (true federalism) is still not yet been implemented. So u dont blame Kanu cos if Gowon did what was agreed & signed in Ghana, there will be no hate speech cos there wouldnt have been the birth of a country called Biafra in the first place.
It is cos Nigeria is hidding Nigeria‘s history from Nigerians thats why someone like Gowon would be a hero while Ojukwu will be seen as a valian.

Just withen May & June 12, Atiku, Sanusi, Ambode have all taken us back to Ojukwu‘s demand. A Nigeria structured in a way that every region develops with their proceeds (resurce control) and pay taxt to the centre. This is also the reason why oil, gas pipelines are been blown up today.

Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma, Buhari & OBJ (hausa slave) did Nigerians wrong. They are the simple reason why we are here POOR today. They killed the spirit of HARD WORK and intrduced us to looting (sharing national cake.

Talking about Pastor FEMI‘s job at Aso Rock now; is he not a media adviser?
Is one of his duties not to bring to the president‘s attention to what is written & published that will effect him (buhari) then advice him on how to handle it.

Finally: the only way toquench this fire is to re structure Nigeria by going back to true federalism if not.
In 100years to come (if we dont break up) we will still fighting militancy, biafra, fulani invaders.

Why are you like this?
In this post the OP is not neither discussing “Biafra“ nor Nnamdi Kanu, your evil intention is to divert attention from the main issue and force all of us to chase shadow then mods will either remove the thread, hide it or push is to other boards. It wont work for u.

This is thread is about going back to the call OJUKWU made 50years ago. As captured by Femi Adesina (media aid to president Buhari).
Nigeria needs to be RESTRUCTURED. True federalism is the only option to stop bombing & sectional agitation.

So stop bringing Nnamdi Kanu & Radio Biafra into this thread. If you as wise as u pretend to be, discuss the points in the thread using what happens now in this present Nigeria as a clue.


PERIOD.

989900:

I don't know about you, but I won't restructure a house while it is burning. I'll quench the fire first, then restructure.

KissCODE:
okay?
How do u put out the fire?

989900:


1. Build bridges across all divides.

2. Get us back on track economically -- that includes a lot of things.

3. Get us on track with diversification.

4. Get us on track with accountability and transparency.

You can't sleep in peace when your neighbors are in pieces, or are hungry.

KissCODE:
thank u. I like your thinking now lets look at ur points one by one.

1- how do we build this bridge?
2- how do we bring our economy back on track? What are those things involved?
3- how do we diversfy?
How can this 3things come into place when one man calls the shot?
How can we diversfy when every state is waiting to collect from Abuja every month?

4- accountabilty & transparency have different meaning within different political divide. So please explain what u mean.

Because all the things you just mentioned point toward restructuring the nation. Because if every state or region goes back to the resources donated to them by nature,

1- it means we have achieved building bridge (they will patronise one another).
2- it will mean economic recovery & growth cos every state or region will priotise their endevour towards survival.
3- it will mean that we have finally diversfied our economy. It will no more be a mono economy cos as all the regions have different natural resources that now contribute the economic growth.
Finally:
4-the feeling of being cheated will naturaly die. Pipe line bombing & fulani herdsmen & Biafran struggle will die naturaly.

So... The water that can quench the economic fire that is consuming Nigeria is TRUE FEDERALISM as Ekwueme & Gana have joined in calling for it.

Setting the path is important.
In terms of diversification for example, some states like Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kebbi, Benue, Anambra, Kaduna, are already starting their journeys on this path. While some states will definitely need assistance from the FG to achieve anything resourceful . . . not all states can stand on their own, we might need to collapse some states, maybe . . . a big basket of inputs will be needed to fashion the best way out.

ATM, we are 'technically' in a recession; not the best of times to make such a tight turn, even for the mineral rich states.

Accountability and transparency organs and structures will need to be put in place, hence we might just have chaos.

paschu:


Well, I guess you did not watch the so called "interview".


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRSvMyDMsQA&feature=youtu.be

There is no doubt that nnamdi seems not to have no robust structure and strategy in place for his causr yet, but one thing you cannot take away from him is passion and authenticity.

The chioma of a girl claimed to have had a sexual relationship with kanu, insisting that kanu presented himself as a single or divorced man. This shows that she's out to get her own pound of flesh.

From the video it's obvious that she had no clue what seceassion is about. Her knowledge of events is also shallow.

She claimed that if it were to be ojukwu she'd go all out in support of the cause. But she failed to realize that even now (and back in the late 60s) ojukwu had some close acquaintances who never believed in his cause. Few of them even ended up as traitors during the war, the same direction chioma seems to be heading with her video.

One thing is clear, the girl's interpretation of kanu's actions is grossly colored by her frustration for failing to become kanu's woman.

The video has 97 comments. Just reading through the comments would have shown you that indeed kanu is a trusted leader, at least within the ranks of his many followers from around the world. The fact that the movement keeps moving even in his incaseration speaks volume.

Personaly I'd never heard of kanu or even paid any attention to the Biafra cause until he got arrested.

I think this guy's authenticity has captured the imagination and sympathy of an untold number of people from the old eastern region. It's phenominal.

This massive awakening is only possible because of his passion and authenticity. Remeber he was not the first to drive the biafra agitation. In fact he is the latest.
