1Rebel: Did you even bother to read everything before attacking him? What you call confused Lifestyle is called a BRAND that has made him Rich beyond your imagination. Know the difference between the man called Charles Oputa and his brand called Charlyboy! Another thing I don't get is people that says they want Biafra and yet can't enter into any Meaningful Discussion without Throwing Tantrums. You break away from a Country by two ways 1. Arms Struggle 2.Continued Peaceful Demonstrations/Boycotting many things of the Country and try to Cripple the Country. You do not Break away from a Country by Floating a Radio Station to Insult the Country 24/7 calling the Country Zoo and Insulting and attacking the President or anybody with a Contrary view. Please show me any group that ever achieved it's dream this way. Makes many think and believe this is all a huge Joke! The great Ojukwu had many people that are not Igbos that supported his Biafra struggle. The first thing to do if you truly believe in Biafra is to Educate people about your dreams and Visions and not to Insult and attack people. 3 Likes |

Charlie You couldn't even build a hut in oguta your fatherland so why should anybody in his right senses think you will value Biafra. Stay in oworonshoki and be fooling your old age with ewedugerians who have contributed to the destruction of your region with their agelong propaganda. You support Biafra o, you no support am o.

Dreambeat: And Britain leaving EU has been their biggest regret. You obviously don't watch the news. Brexit vote was won by a small margin, but with catastrophic consequences Now Theresa May is confused and the remain voters are kicking. The soft landing for Britain would be giving them the same status as Switzerland and Norway, but that negates the whole purpose of leaving in the first place. If this mess could happen in Britain, what of Nigeria? Where many do not understand the consequences of the decisions they make You people think leaving a country or drawing new borders will just change things overnight and the people will be enjoying?

I had support for a loose federation or a country of Igbos but the emergence of IPOB killed it. The truth remains that most Igbos that would have helped are no longer interested because of IPOB's partisan stand. You cannot claim to be fighting for Biafra but supporting Dasuki for financial mismanagement, El Zakzaki for religious extremism and openly condemning APC. 2 Likes |

FUCKyouALL: FUCKyouALL:Like I said earlier, only insecure beings suffering from severe self-esteem issues would take offence and pick a fight over the mere spelling of their name (especially when there are numerous other weightier issues that such energies should be expended on). Just like a frenchman feeling offended for being referred to as 'French' instead of 'Francais', that's exactly how puerile and silly it is for anyone to lose sleep over IGBO being spelt as IBO, especially when there are better things to expend their mental energy on. And oh yeah! congratulations on being 'more Igbo', or should I say, 'being a real-er Igbo man' than Charles Oputa because you think you spell I-G-B-O more correctly. Your wisdom is truly peculiar. 6 Likes |

Well, I'm not surprised that a lot of the people that have rushed to condemn Charly Boy's article very likely did not read it through or did not bother to understand the points he's trying to pass across because most of them aren't offering a reasonable or reasoned rebuttal. I would encourage you guys to read through his reasons and then comment. As for my own view, even I have been thinking of writing something along these lines on my blog. The Igbo nation specifically and Nigerians at large don't seem to realise that the current state of this country is not because we are a union of different peoples or that people from other tribes from ours just naturally hate our tribes. Nigeria's failure is the product of our collective failures as individuals, regardless of tribe, geopolitical zone, religion or ideology. Why this is important to note is that if we don't fix these individual failures, they would still carry over into whatever countries we produce from breaking up Nigeria. Some weeks ago, I was in a bus and the driver, an Igbo man got into an argument with a passenger, a Yoruba man. After the passenger alighted, the driver started muttering that it's just because Biafra has not been actualized, else he wouldn't be found in Lagos. I found it funny because - who told him he would be anything more than a bus driver in Biafra too? Or we don't have bus drivers in Igboland? For a lot of the people I hear talking about Biafra, it's only an escapist fantasy for them because they are disillusioned with the country called Nigeria. But creating a new country wouldn't make their lives any better if they don't change the way they approach government, society, their civic responsibilities and an appreciation for the rights of every man which EVERYONE across the length and breadth of our country have failed at. I mean, Charlie Boy is right - it's not like the Yorubas or Hausas or Fulanis or people of other tribes are going down to Igboland to prevent it from developing. It's our fellow Igbo men in positions of leadership that are stunting our growth - same as the leaders in all the other regions of Nigeria are relegating regional and National development in favour of personal enrichment. Then they sell us this idea that we are each others' enemies so we can keep fighting each other and ignore them while they feed fat on our commonwealth. It's these same people we would get in Biafra and they would do the same thing they are doing in the current Nigerian setup and nothing would change. 7 Likes 1 Share |

RosaConsidine: "Scotland is a constituent part of Britain, the 5th richest nation in the world. Despite all the advantages of Scotland being part of Britain, they still agitate to leave Britain. Why? The answer is in one word, sovereignty. The OP is talking about Nigeria, far below Britain, why would the Scots be even thinking of seceding from the 5th richest nation on Earth? And not just Scotland, elements of Northern Ireland want to leave too and join their kith and kin in the Irish Republic. If our own colonial masters can contemplate secession, then who are we that they brought together to say we are indivisible? The question of Nigeria breaking up or the reasons why it shouldnt break up does not arise. Our colonial masters Britain voted to leave the EU, the single largest market in the world and the richest, who are we to question their democratic decision? It is theirs to make. The same should be applied to the issue of those who agitate or are agitating to leave the Nigerian colonial contraption called Nigeria. Im an Igbo man, I dont deny that the activities if the colonial masters helped to unify the Igbo nation that used to be a scattered cluster of confederations, but that is no longer the point The point is who wants to continue being a 'Nigerian' and who does not. Despite the huge potential of Nigeria as the largest black nation on earth, it should the decision of its constituent people to decide if the want to carry on with it same as our colonial masters, Britain, allowed Scotland to decide and will still allow them to decide again in 2018/19. People can argue the pros and cons of Nigeria being together or breaking up from now to eternity but unless we accept that it is the ultimate right of the people to decide. We must trust the people to decide their fate rather than trusting Lugard to decide it for us. If the people are denied their God given right to decide their fate, then it all means that Nigeria is an instrument of bondage and it will never work". ~ Kingzizzy.

malton: Great post. However, I must point out that differences alone are not good enough reasons for a separation. Let's step outside Nigeria and take a look at the United States. Sure, asides the native Americans, you might want to think America is just one huge tribe because they all speak English. You couldn't be more wrong. If you want to think of the lines that America could be divided along, there are plenty. There's political ideology. There's race. There's religion. There's societal views. There's social class. There's even language because you can't tell me all Americans have English as a first language and there are quite a fair number of Americans who speak Spanish or other languages primarily but also know or learn English because it is the official language and it would ease communication with people who don't speak their primary language. What makes America work is that Americans are taught to look beyond these differences and think of themselves as American regardless of what makes them different. The reason Nigeria is failing is because we are being taught to accentuate and highlight our differences and relegate being Nigerian to the background. The failure of this thought process is that even if you divide Nigeria into three: North, West and East; there are still more lines within these three regions to divide ourselves further along. If Biafra is realised, what stops an Imo man or an Ebonyi man from claiming marginalisation due to dialect because in spite of the fact that all the Igbo tribes speak Igbo, dialects differ. If you further divide them along state or dialect line, what stops the Orlu man from claiming marginalisation and seeking secession inspite of the fact that he speaks largely the same dialect as the rest of the people from Imo state. And at this rate, we would keep dividing and dividing till each man is his own country with his own flag and currency and still unable to live with his neighbours. No country on earth have people that are completely homogeneous. Even families, the basic, smallest unit of society are not completely homogeneous. The sooner we start learning this basic lesson, the faster we can start building a working society. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

pazienza: I am not for forcing anybody into any unions they don't want to or no longer want to be a part of. However, I feel it is paramount that we consider all the factors reasonably before making a decision and I am afraid a lot of the people clamouring for a secession are not contemplating all the factors. What I am advocating is that the problems that have driven Nigeria to where it is are to be found all over Nigeria - not just in the North and West alone and these problems would undoubtedly crossover into a Biafra. The average Igbo man does not hold his leaders accountable for how they manage resources, same as the average Yoruba or Hausa man. The average Igbo man celebrates wealth and riches over skill and achievement same as the average Yoruba or Hausa man. The average Igbo man is corrupt, same as the average Yoruba or Hausa man. Having a Biafra would not magically change all of this. It is shocking that we are not looking at the result of South Sudan's secession from Sudan and learning any lessons from it. Having our own country will not magically make us better people and I would not be happier in a corruption ridden, economically disadvantaged and underdeveloped Biafra any more than I would be in a corruption-ridden, economically disadvantaged and underdeveloped Nigeria. The same way our leaders at the National level are playing us against each other is the same way our leaders in our regions are playing us against each other. In fact, right now, in my hometown, there is a conflict that is going on between the villages with people who had earlier lived at peace with each other suddenly hating each other because the people who lead their individual villages are telling them to. Biafra would not magically be a paradise by just existing. This is what I want people that are calling for a secession to consider - we are putting the cart before the horse. First we have to put aside our petty differences and learn to work together towards a common goal. Right now what a lot of Igbo people know is Biafra but what it stands for, what it's ideology is, what it's plans for the present and future are can be anyone's guess. And that's simply not good enough. 7 Likes |

pazienza: It's also interesting that the person you quoted noted that the Igbo were never one big nation - just a number of scattered tribes that were unified by the British into a single entity for ease of governance. Don't you think that Biafra would still be serving the very same purpose Nigeria is serving - an instrument of bondage keeping people who had hitherto been independent communities together in one political setup? If those calling for Biafra have a problem with what Luggard and the British did, then they wouldn't be calling for a Biafra - they would be asking for each village or town or community to be a country in it's own right and have sovereignty over their domain as they did before the coming of the British. 3 Likes |
