It's noteworthy to categorically state that Biafra encompasses south-east, south-south, and part of middle belt!..and not only "south-east", we are part of Biafra(Delta state). Please take note!
please stop adding delta State to biafra abeg

There you go again. Simple moral teaches us not to insults. I may be older than you. From the part of east I came from I was though not to call people names. What I am asking is a simple and constructive explanation in what you believe in.

We have abandon our civil responsibilities and watch the those who has been representing us from east to play the card of ethnicity and bigotry just for their selfish interest. Now the table has turn against them, they remember Biafra and restructuring. They should restructure their attitude towards our public funds and fight for our interest not theirs. When you don't support their selfish desires they brand you all sorts of names.

You're an imposter, stop claiming to be Igbo. Be proud of your yoruba heritage.

30 % potentials. My brother between 1994-2001, Aba and Onitsha were known for shoe and belt production. People come different countries to buy. But some us who romance their way to corridor 2of power liaise with the power that be to lift the ban on the importation of those items to that they can import from Italy or Spain for quick turn over. Aba and Onitsha industries went under.

it may surprise to know that when west were busy offering scholarship for the children to school to reshape their future, most our parent would prefer her wards to go and learn trade for quick money.

It may surprise to note that during ObJ leadership, the Igbo were strategically place in most ministry as minster, we did not complain. But for 16 years, Enugu- Onitsha road did not receive attention. Rather, our political class were busy struggling for oil and gas business in Sao tome etc.

Our brother prof bath Nnaji from Enugu state- Minister of power was at the verge of solving the power issue, but our own from SS/SE due to their selfish interest muscle him away. The rest is history.

My brother, remember our region is land lock and most of people has invested outside the Igbo land. How would survive is the bubble show burst. God forbid. The early 60s to 70s is different now. Let ask our leader to tell us the truth and face good governace with the little we have and gunning for the big and fail completely.

Buy and selling from china or outside country will not grow your region, r
Onitsha shoe production? Are you sure you. Are Igbo cos Onitsha is never known for artisans rather commerce

A referendum is illegal to the Nigerian constitution. Any president including Buhari who contemplates it must go through with a constitutional amendment to insert a breakaway clause, otherwise that president risks impeachment. On the other hand, it is possible to raise a military standard against the Nigerian armed forces, defeat her in battle and achieve a separate state. The referendum go hard

The constitution of the UK is not a rigid one as Nigeria's, one of the stark contrasts between a parliamentary and presidential system of government. In the UK the laws passed by parliament in conjunction with customs and traditions that are ever revolving form the constitution, but in presidential climes constitutions are rigid, written documents that must be adhered to with strict conformance. Nigeria practices the latter form

Don't worry Biafra isn't going with your Ijaw lands. You'll definitely stay in your ND republic. Biafra shall be a country of mutual consent groups. Peeps like my folks in Rivers, the Akwa/Cross folks and other minority groups with a mutually agreed constitution that allows every group controls its resources, regional government and so much more. Militant and unproductive groups are not needed in the new country, but civilized and hardworking fellas. Thanks

How I wish the over rated Biafra issue will be put to e referendum, people will be shocked that most Igbo would rather stay in as Nigeria. Definitely, my vote will not go Biafra. I would rather prefer our greedy politician to restructure their appetite to our public fund.

I have already develop tough skin, because I know some of my brothers will start to insulting themselves not me now.
If you are an Igbo as you claimed, for every anti-Biafra like you is 100 pro-Biafrans and will referendum be carried out, the result of people's choice will put your likes to bed.

I say yes ooo in fact most igbos would troop down to the east to vote, now those of u asking about the properties of the igbos that can be found in other region and what will become of it, are u also telling me that the investment of multi-national non nationals will also be abandoned, because they are also no nationals like the biafrans are going to be.
Don't mind them, they are bitter because they have sold their properties to Igbo people and are looking to take it back. Can't eat your cake and have it back is a wise saying...

This is where you'll have a problem with the rest of the country. I think a Referendum should be done when everyone is on the same page over who can/cant vote and (potential) boundaries are defined and agreed upon. I would advice the agitators to focus on the CORE Ibo states to advance their push.
