a dead and buried agitation

IPOB has turned the east into a disgrace. They descended so low....

PapaNnamdi:

South Sudan got theirs since 2011...
How has it helped, instead the situation there became worse....

Biafra is no solution to our problems..

I don't like when you mention South Sudan but don't make mention of Singapore/Malaysia. Haven't you heard about them? BTW, South Sudan maybe hungry and starving but they are happy to be independent. So why are you complaining for them?

Finally, do you think the Biafran land do not have the human and capital resources to make and sustain Biafra or are you just talking? Tell me what you think they lack. Intelligent discussion please.

tunchi014:
... what shit is dis clueless oaf spewing, come boy what exactly do u know abt da civil war?

Your Momma the "boy" and your father is a slimy, smelling, clueless, stinking Nigerian Biafran Oaf.

PapaNnamdi:

U don't even have a central bank to print ur cowries

No embassy to make ur visas, u nothing...

Just plenty portor portor to rub on ur bellies


After Biafra what next?

Like telling someone who want a car that he doesn't even have petrol to power the engine. Does it make sense to you?

Stupid Ipob judeo-christians. Which is which now? Do you worship Jesus (Christianity ) now or do you consider him an imposter (Judaism). Amazing how Ipob fools have decided to join to false religions together.

IPOB has turned the east into a disgrace. They descended so low....

kanu is going haywire...he is not allowed to go abroad...we all are going to see how foolish he realy is.....

kanu is mentaly unstable......the goverment released him on conditions that he said he is sick and need medical attention...

we nigerians know that type of trick from politicians already......

lets see how this gonna end..... .....the guy thinks he can outsmart us,because he thinks we are zoo animals....

we moderate nigerians respect igbos not kanu....we are still tolerating kanu because of moderate igbos.....

or else......off the head!!!!....

nobody is talking about his inmates still in kuje prison....

this should be a lesson for those igbos that care that much about kanu.....kanu will let you rot....the fool is only interested about his own well being...

sorry for those that believed in that fraudster....

mad people! absolute madness!!!

Ofcourse I agree that things can not continue this way. If FG says no regionalism then it has to be Biafra for us all, I know that, but I am saying Regionalism might just be the cucumber stimulating Nigeria to orgasm. I am surprise that you are not pondering. After achieving Regionalism, we weigh our option with a standing police force, and go the Biafra way. Common men, its a smarter move.

u ponder what the wise ponder, i have always drawn this, but a few are overwhelmed by their overtly zealous rhetorics, which i too like, cus it sends out a message to the dumb and thoughtless antagonist from the north shortchanging their people, the talakawas, and wanting to use their stewpid greed and wickedness to cunningly propagate a farce one nigeria in this current structure that is totally divisive, wicked and shortchanging all, for their wicked self and family alone.....so is this resolutness for a succession in such defiant and "biafra or nothing" manner needed.? . I would say yes, cus trouble is the only thing this ediots in the north and crazy criminal individuals in government understands, but simply put, what u have stated is d obvious and best probable solution to dis current expired and sinked out system of a rusted political past.....n i suspect its what d country is drifting to... But i still wld luv the fire of breakup to remain burning in the face of those opposing restructuring, so at the moment they stupify them selves, wen the whole thing is hot and steaming, luking to flow at that time to its natural course, then any ediot dat stands against it,.. Its an EXPLOSION..... Notting would stop it..... any ryt thinking opposing ediot in the current nigerian political arena, wld be wise to begin thinking along these part now, cus time is with the country today.... I also like ur use of words...lurid...u gat d drift...

Kathmandu:
Did they ask for your input? Why can't you mind your busines Even a Sick Rat is better than that London Cat Tell us the solution and tell us if it's rocket science managing a country

you insult a man i know with your mindset, you will never be like.
mind your words Biafra is not a threat to the greatness of Nigeria. Eat these words

Rapmoney:
People who are quoting you here are getting more 'likes'. Can't u see that ur opinion is meaningless? Cover ur face in shame!

Don't underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers



The quotes and comments says it all,

Majority of the populace are stupid..
Make decisions based on sentiments

And lack foresight...

It's is written all over this thread....


SHAME.



ENJOY YOUR BIAFRA

I have lived in this world long enough to respect the sanctity of lives. Watch the war in Syria, I am damn sure the citizens are now crying that the Pre-Revolution/War leadership atleast assured them of the basic necessities of life, which are food, shelter and clothing. Now they have none of those, and have become refugees in other land. My brother be wise, and tell others to be wise.

I do not get blindly biased by the hope for a greater tomorrow through war. The moment the first short is fired, the rogue CIA agents, the KGB and the independent war merchants will turn Nigeria to a theater of sales of ammunitions. Their Amor factory will go into overnight productions and you and I will become a target of unknown enemies. At that moment, you will no longer be fighting for Biafra, you will be fighting for your own very Life.

In 21st century, no one wins in war. This planet has been destroyed of Human Lives 4 times and it has taken humans 50,000 Yrs of 5 civilizations wiped out by wars, those who survived were the ones who were able to either teleport to other planets or fly with giant flying saucers into other dimensions. Now they return as aliens and can not even fit into our general populations and some we call demons or Gods. Human beings need to know their history. We have averted WW3, now we need no more wars. There will be no more wars. I preach regionalism, and if after we have regions, (which the Yorubas, Igbos, Ijaws, except for the Hausas have agreed), then if we can push that for a few decades and it still do not work (I believe it will work) then you can secede. Now, my suggestion is this: If Biafrans can push for Biafran State (SE Region). The Yorubas will push for (Oduduwa or Eko State), The SS will push for Niger Delta State and the Middle Belt can push for (MB State), then the North can have their 3 regions. Then we all sign Trade Treaties and still maintain residencies in other regions and pay taxes to different states we have businesses, then they also pay taxes if they have interest in the products of our side, then it will be great. Oil will belong to the States in which the Oil is found. Thankfully, all the regions have oil. There is Oil in SE, there is Oil in Lagos and Ondo (SW), there is oil in NE, so we can all evolve a greater people. The Igbos are naturally strong and commercial nomads. I want them to have this in their consciousness.

There should be no election in 2019 until regionalism is implemented. We all have agreed on this. Cos we need State Police, State run hospitals, Social safety net. We need a country that works.

Makes sense,reminds me of how the Roman Empire was toppled.

Ojukwu would have achieved that but he made the lethal mistake of making victor banjo the leader of the operation.create a smart army code named operation stab the heart with leap frogging along the way and finally hitting with a well organized pincer followed up immediately by a double envelopement.the rest of the python will just be thrashing aimlessly and in a little time the beast will die.

I understand Bro but why Ojukwu charged Banjo with that mission was his knowledge of the west/mid-western terrain and the second being that they were coursemates and best friends during their time of enrollment in the Nigerian Army,not to mention his qualifications too.Speculations have it that Banjo and Ifeajuna were saboteurs( debunked by Alexander Madueke,then Biafran Army Commander),for a pincer formation to be successful it has to be in deep covert and the advancing forces must have thorough knowledge of the terrain (where diaspora personnels comes in).A formidable force must engage the enemy from the front while the others pin them by the flanks.Achuzia was famous for using this formation inspired by Sun Tzu's Art of War,another successful and more well known example is the battle of Kiev (near Stalingrad) in World War II between the Nazi German troops and the Soviet Army.However there are other instances pincer formation has failed woefully due to lack of intell,bad terrain,etc.

i agree with you

Blonchilli:
This would be my first time I'll be commenting on anything Biafra. I don't understand why some of their supporters are always quick to throw insults and call names when this should be a forum to discuss this and plan ahead. I'm not saying the country should be unified still but if one side wants to seccede then let them do it democratically and with due procedures but is Biafra ready. Maybe for over 50 years you could say it is but are you ready to face the 21st century challenges? Countries are increasingly looking for ways to come together and it's now we want to break Biafra out? Borders and terrorism are on the rise more than the crusade years and we're straining our already fragile security? Britain,France,Belgium, Germany these were security powerhouse but seem to be crumbling under the weight of the 21st century and the rate at which the world is changing. Look at the EU, they've lost its major power house, Britain. In a time world leaders are clamoring for unity we're trying to break away. I've been to the east and frankly speaking I see no need for an independent state. Certain things would happen if Biafra split, they'll either become a zoo like their hero Nnamdi Kanu says or they'll join in the mediocrity of nations who have failed it's sovereign powers or become a war zone.
NB: I'm not Yoruba, I'm not Hause, I'm not an Igbo, I'm a Nigerian who've seen the failures of our fathers and leaders and hope the coming generation come together to make things work or finally collapse under the weight of ethnic wars.

your argument lacks foundation, just as you have rightly said.... your not Hausa nor Yoruba neither Igbo only God knows who you are, but I will begin to take you serious if you can help me answer this question. Before 1914 (amalgamation) who were you? if your answer is that your were not a "Nigerian", then I will ask you to go back to who you were. Nigeria is not a nation, she was the creation of a man called lord lugard. nation is not the creation of man, it is revolutionary in form. oduduwa republic is a nation (Yoruba), Arewa republic is a nation (Hausa) and Biafra republic is a nation (all people from old eastern region) . you don't force nationhood unto people it is by consensus and if my knowledge I have acquired all this while could serve me right then it is a fact that formation of Nigeria was never through a consensus. I have grown to understand that the centre can not hold again in Nigeria so it will be better for all to go back to how we were before 1914. don't go about telling me that obafemi awolowo, nnamdi azikiwe and tafawa balewa were there to represent each region. No! it is never done this are just merely 3 individuals and the mostly came into play during the sham independent they gave to the so called Nigerians and not during the amalgamation. for the avoidance of doubt, this is what a consensus means .... consensus

(noun (plural consensuses)
- A process of decision-making that seeks widespread agreement among group members.
- General agreement among the members of a given group or community, each of which exercises some discretion in decision-making and follow-up action.

I and them are not one and we can never be one. it is Biafra or death, one out of the two must happen in this our restoration struggle. the first stanza of the biafra anthem has covered it all ( Land of the risen sun, we love and cherish,

We must defend our lives or we shall perish,

You sounded personal. Like I called you out. And you also misunderstood me. Read again and you will understand what I said. We didn't choose to be Nigerian, we were born into it. You were not born igbo but because your parents are. No nation on earth existed as it is now. Most were colonies. Various race have come and gone and some have spread around the globe. If Biafra wants to go on its own then let them. However this is an age were the international politics works is more complicated than ever before. No wonder the west is moving in the speed of light and we seem to be going back to the stone age. Yes Nigeria is a product of amalgamtion but The United States wasn't a unified country either. And Lord Luggard was able to to that because he represented the power of the British crown. No man can just amalgamate colonies. Azikivwe and co represented their regions and that has been how Nigerian politics have been working for over 60 years, regional politics. If it will prevent bloodshed then let Biafra go. Nobody need to die, not you, not the soldiers who would fight for the sovereignty of Nigeria and Biafra. If it happens then we're not worthy to be free men

Misinformed stiff necked educated illiterate TOOFIT007,the scripture says educate a Fool that he may not die in his folly,why not go back to the Trans Atlantic slave Era or before 1885 when the scramble and partition for Africa by the Europeans began?

The Bight of Biafra (also known as the Bight of Bonny) is a bight off the West African coast, in the easternmost part of the Gulf of Guinea.

Bight of Biafra
Bight of Bonny
Golfe du Biafra

Gulf of Guinea:
Coordinates 2°50′N 8°0′E
River sources Niger
Ocean/sea sources Gulf of Guinea
Atlantic Ocean
Basin countries Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon
Max. length 300 km (190 mi)
Max. width 600 km (370 mi)
Islands Bioko.

The Bight of Biafra extends east of the Bight of Benin from the River Delta of the Niger in the north until it reaches Cape Lopez in Gabon. Besides the Niger River, other rivers reaching the bay are the Cross River, Wouri River, Calabar River, Ndian, Wouri, Sanaga, Nyong River, Ntem, Mbia, Mbini, Muni and Komo River.

The main islands in the Bay are Bioko and Príncipe; other important islands are Ilhéu Bom Bom, Ilhéu Caroço, Elobey Grande and Elobey Chico. Countries located at the Bight of Biafra are Nigeria (eastern coast), Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea (Bioko Island and Rio Muni), and Gabon (northern coast).

On 30 June 1849, Britain established a colonial protectorate over the Bight of Biafra, under the authority of the British Consuls of the Bight of Benin:

May 1852 - 1853 Louis Fraser
1853 - April 1859 Benjamin Campbell
April 1859 - 1860 George Brand
1860 - January 1861 Henry Hand
January 1861 - May 1861 Henry Grant Foote
May 1861 - 6 August 1861 William McCoskry (acting)

On 6 August 1861, Biafra protectorate and the neighboring Benin protectorate (under its own British consuls) became a united British protectorate Bights of Biafra and Benin, again under British consuls:

1861 - December 1864 Richard Francis Burton
December 1864 - 1873 Charles Livingstone
1873 - 1878 George Hartley
1878 - 13 September 1879 David Hopkins
13 September 1879 - 5 June 1885 Edward Hyde Hewett.
