I have told my brothers u will never achieve Biafra with ipob and the rest

Set a 12 year target

1) form a political party with the sole aim of establishing Biafra,
2) try to win election in the region ( if Biafra is truly popular that won't be a problem)
3) show the type of government u promised people in baifra, why u are different from Nigeria, if u can manage the little revenue then more people will trust u
4) within 8 years if good governance by the new party, take over the political leadership of the region
5) then call for a referendum, now people will take u serious and will support you

But they will never, they know what to do but will never do it
Every day donate money, donate money That's the sole aim, stealing from there brothers

All the money we have wasted on Biafra can build a refinery

Please let us be wise

The man who does not believe in a cause should leave those who are determined to forge ahead despite the threats and challenges.
Foes and naysayers cannot determine for Igbos how to go about self-determination, for it is an inalienable right of a people.

BTW, did Igbos steal your money? Is your money involved in the Igbo cause?
Is it a crime for IPOB to call for a UN supervised referendum?
Is freedom of expression now a crime?
What then is your problem?

It's you likes that carried wicked propaganda that NK's desire is to enrich himself by getting financial rewards from the government. Now despite his incarceration NK has disappointed you and your co-travellers by rejecting your inducement and offer to abandon the quest for nationhood. So you have become too restless, bitter and bile-filled.

If majority of Igbos aren't in support of IPOB many of your kind won't be running helter-skelter. You and your cohorts would have at least sponsored rallies in those cities where IPOB youths held peaceful demonstrations.

Cease fooling yourselves and your backers with your silly claims, endless rants and propaganda on NL. The earlier you relay back to them that your mission is DOA the better for your survival.

menxer:
It's true, from the History of my people and verifiable facts of water wells that served as mass graves still exist closed, in various parts of Akwa Ibom as a memorial to the genocide by the Biafran army.

Yes, Colonel (or General) Philip Effiong was with them maybe he never knew what was actually going on to his people or didn't care; greed and ambition can make a man sell his blood.

Dennixe001 post:

THE MYTHS:

As a boy growing up on the street of Port
Harcourt, I was told so many horrible things
about Igbos:I was told that Igbos were planning to push Rivers people to Abia State for the people of Abia to inhabit Rivers State because of our resources.

I was told that Igbo people enslaved and ruled
over my people in Bori the traditional
headquarters of Ogoni Kingdom.

I was told that Odumegwu Ojukwu, Onyeka
Onwenu and other prominent Igbos brazenly
rejoiced over the execution of my uncle Ken Saro Wiwa because of the role he played during the Civil War.
I was told that it is better to be slaves to Hausas than to be brothers to Igbos because, Igbos are worse than Hausas.

THE EFFECTS:

These things made me to terribly detest Igbos
beyond what you can imagine, I was always
skeptical, cynical and suspicious while dealing
with Igbos. It also affected my friendship with
Igbo guys, I was always careful not to be a victim, no matter how they value the friendship, as long as they are Igbos, they were bad eggs to me.

It also severely affected my relationship with Igbo girls, 70% of the girls I have seen are Igbos girls but I have never treated any of my Igbo girlfriends fairly because, I programmed my mind not to be interested in anything beyond the fun
attached to the chemistry of boys and girls stuff while dealing with an Igbo girl, I didn’t want to make the mistake of dating an Igbo girl to the extent of marrying her.

THE DISCOVERY:

I was posted to Akwa Ibom State for my national
youth service in November 2013, there I made so
many Igbo friends, almost 60% of Akwa Ibom
corps members are from Igbo extraction, mainly from IMSU, FUTO, ABSU, UMUDIKE, ESUT and IMT.

There I saw how determined a typical Igbo youth is, there I saw the natural tendency for economic success in a typical Igbo guy, there I saw the reason why Igbos are entrepreneurs allover the globe, there I saw that God specially gave them the metaphysical eyes to see money in things and
where you don’t even think of smelling money, there I saw that even though the Igbos have had severe political travails and marginalization, they will forever remain the economic salt of Nigeria.

While we were serving, those of us who are Port Harcourt breed UNIPORT/RSUST corps members were always complaining that Akwa Ibom is beautiful but not groovy like Port Harcourt, we were always complaining that the town is dry with no night life like Port Harcourt. But our friends from the Igbo extraction were seeing things
differently, they saw Akwa Ibom as a beautiful
virgin land highly in need of economic
exploration, they saw huge business
opportunities in where we saw boredom.

We were complaining of the insufficient N19,800 ‘alawi’ (allowance) while they were seeing it as
potential small scale business capital. We used our alawi to club in one night because, we didn’t see it as good enough to help us, while our Igbo friends inject it into their small scale businesses.

We were always going to Tropicana to see movies while our Igbo friends are busy going to Lagos to bring wears and jewelries for us to buy. We were always calling home for money but our Igbo friends were sending money home instead.

At the end of my service year, I said I was going back to Port Harcourt because I believed Uyo was too dry for me to hustle, but my Igbo friends stayed back because they saw Uyo as a land lacking business and as such, it’s good for them to
make money through the introduction of
different businesses.

THE REVERSAL:

I came back to Port Harcourt then pondered on my experience with these Igbo brains, I then realised why people hate them, I felt bad
seriously for wrongly hating them all these while, I decided to love them because, they have the kind of zeal I’d love to emulate.

THE CONVICTION:

When I was fully convinced that the Igbos are not only my role models but my blood was when they went against all odds to make Goodluck Jonathan
their own, they loved him even more than some us from the South South, they gave him their full support at the poll not minding the
consequences. Ever since, I couldn’t stop loving Igbos but to love them even more.

THE RECOMMENDATION:

Igbos drive the economy of every towns and cities in Nigeria, nobody can change that, so instead of hating them for doing business in your place, I’d advise you compete with them even if you know you can’t beat them because, it is your land that is benefiting economically and otherwise with such
healthy competition, it is a win win situation.

IN CONCLUSION:

Igbos are subject of hate in this country,
apparently due to wrong perception, but I
personally think Igbos are cool like any other
tribe, and bad like any other tribe too. Though my main problem with them is that, they never admit their flaws no matter how glaring but they are always quick to lampoon the slightest folly of other tribes.

If you want to be successful economically, think like Igbos!

Every tribe in nigeria have history and were they originated from and Originator... Eg Bajayida from middle east is for Hausa, while Oduduwa from Mecca is for yoruba... Ibo up till today no history or originator it mean your great grandfather is baastard to your generation...

I can see that you're an accursed fetish inbred savage of dirt and slavery. You most likely grew up without knowing who sired you and therefore lack manners.

Frustrated spawn of a fallen demon, so tell your readership the fairytale of how your Oduduwa fell from heaven.

which eastern city have any organisation that employ 2000 staffs? SW generally more developed in term of everything that make life have meaning....

You can see your life...simply be bold and identify your ethnic group since you claimed you aren't Yoruba and you kept burying your head in the sand.

Mention one city in your enclave and you're stating SW generally - is that a city?

If Igboland isn't doing well industrially and commercially Fayose of Ekiti State wouldn't have sent some Yorubas to go learn trades and acquire useful skills to better the economy of SW region.

However, you can quench your bias with these facts about Igboland:

That's not totally true. You guys can be egotistical at times.
There are things you dare in Lagos for instance that a Yoruba man will never venture in Onitsha.
You sometimes put your finger into our eyes and call us cowards because we won't react.
You're dominant and possessive once given the room.

I'm speaking from experience, not media propaganda.

Nsognaduro!

Igbos being egoistic in what way - by not going about murdering Yorubas like the Hausa-Fulanis do?
Put fingers into Yoruba eyes in what manner - like Deji of Akure invited an Igbo leader into his palace only to unleash his thugs on him?

Be specific and produce facts and figures and not baseless fabrications!

That Yorubas over the decades have systematically burnt and destroyed Igbo shops should be a concern to you.

I see myself as Nigeria.. Oyo state once hv Deputy speaker of Edo origin and also other state Hon from Edo.. Why can't you make one city in east as cosmopolitan city.. Yoruba allowed Visitor more than other tribe

You still couldn't identify and be identified by your ethnic group. That means you're not being honest with your statements.

Here and now, can you state one city in your enclave that fares better than any major Igbo city and I'd confound your doubts about Igboland?

BTW, are you by any means trying to dispute the recent findings by a UN research about the SE being the safest place to live in Nigeria - https://www.nairaland.com/3103641/south-east-safest-place-live-un?

GlorifiedTunde:
On the contrary sir, I don't. I got a lot of friends from the Biafra nation. Honestly if you'd ask me, I'll just prefer you allow this PMB regime settle a little, then you can have your Biafra... That's all.

The Igbo Nation are peace lovers and do not go about killing or disturbing the peace of others. Igbos go about their businesses without minding what is going on in the polity. And that should not warrant any being on earth to trample on Igbo rights to life, freedom of association or movement.

That's all...

GlorifiedTunde:
I'm not interested sir. You are the professional wailer. No one can wail better than you.

Be bold and identify your tribe for a robust engagement...

Meanwhile, you're really confusing Lagos with other SW States. Lagos is a cosmopolitan city built with the sweats and bloods of tribes in Nigeria.

Remember, the Lagoon crooner who threatened to drown Igbos should they refuse to vote in his anointed candidate as governor of Lagos.

Remember, the placards that were brazenly displayed in the streets in support of that xenophobic threat.

Remember also the countless number of destruction of businesses and lawful means of livelihoods by Yoruba miscreants and their evil governments.

Just to educate you further:
In the 1960s, a Fulani man, Umaru Altini was elected the Mayor of Enugu even as Zik was chased away from Lagos State by Awo's tribal area boys after wining an election in SW. T.A Orji of Abia State and Sullivan of Enugu had Yorubas in their cabinets. In Imo State, Rochas has Hausa advicers.

Just chill.God is always with the Yorubas and most Yorubas supported Buhari because of his clean slate for corruption than any other known person vying for presidency at that point in time.As much as I like GEJ,he was an utter failure.If he had been in government by now,Nigeria would have been bought by Ghana
There is no way you talk about your age without remembering when you were born.Nigeria was joined together in 1914 which is not 2016 and it is still affecting us now. I get am before mentality na him dem dey call history for school and na him make Biafrans know say dem go fight for Biafra because no be 2016 dem know Biafra.Historians fit blow your head off for this dunceness o

Lies of hypocrisy from a confused slimy fellow...

Yorubas see backstabbing and treachery as ways of life that despite the campaign of calumny and hatred championed by Yorubas against president GEJ, a supposed Ijaw man, was very liberal. GEJ guaranteed Yorubas freedom of speech and freedom after speech. GEJ did not go about assassinating perceived political opponents as was obtained in the previous regime of Obj, a Yoruba man (1999 - 2007)

GEJ allowed Yoruba opposition party to flourish and win elections across the country - a democratic dividend that their own Obj could not offer. Yorubas term themselves as being respectful yet they called GEJ unprintable names. They fabricated and concocted evils and sold them as news to the public just like the bigot so quoted is trying to do.

GEJ was peace-loving and liberal and never sent or forced any Yoruba person on compulsory exile despite all their arrogance and insults against his person.

GEJ was so liberal that in spite of the fact that his State and SS region produce the crude oil wealth for the sustenance of SW region and other parasitic States he allowed the parasitic ingrates to have their way.

GEJ performed far better than Obj, Yorubas do-or-die proponent whose despotic reign was marred with mass corruption, election rigging, financial recklessness and numerous failed projects that brought the country into ruins.

During GEJ's administration the Appeal court’s judgment made the likes of Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun and former Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, to assume governorship positions. Such feat was a taboo in Yoruba Obj's time.

In case you're losing your memory, let me remind of the recent event where your masters went berserk on the streets of Lagos maiming, killing and destroying properties of your Yoruba folks for fun.

Frustrated double-faced sorcerers of Brown Roof Republic, here is a message from Alhaji Aliyu Gwarzo to your slimy tribe:

Yes ooo.. Yoruba land is the safest place you can leave and they adopt other tribe easily in Nigeria.

You lots should cease spreading lies everywhere as if Yoruba survival solely depends on it.
If Yorubaland is the safest place for habitation or business why then are Yorubas notoriously known for breeding street urchins and area boys who go about disrupting businesses, harrassing and disturbing the peace of law-abiding citizens?

And just recently why was the SW region not favorably rated by the UN - https://www.nairaland.com/3103641/south-east-safest-place-live-un?

If Yorubas aren't a major cause of Nigeria problems Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, a Fulani, would not have penned down these truths about Yoruba people without a formidable rejoinder from Yoruba elites: "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. 

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention....

Immediately after the 1960 Independence the Yoruba tribe threw the whole country into a political turmoil with the deadly and boody 'Operation Wetie' which precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war.

What about the June 12 crisis in the 1990s that sent many innocent lives to their untimely graves?
Till date Yorubas by virtue of their political 'sophistication', treachery, propaganda and lies are still causing great havocs to this contraption.

N.B: "Operation Wetie" in Yoruba means wet a human being and his/her properties with petrol and set them ablaze.
