Until we have achieved that state of being, the desired geopolitical region remains at risk. So we must pursue both tasks together.
And the State of Being is as follows:
We have to do as the Catalonians do in Spain.
When they realized that the Castelianos (Madrid) will never voluntarily or easily give them Independencia, the Catalonians (Barcelona) decided to turn inwards and develop their region Technologically, Economically and Infrastructurally - and now they are the economic powerhouse of Spain.
The same thing is with Bayern in Germany. When Germany was declaring itself as a nation, Bayern (Bavaria) had the choice to stay out and be a country on its own (like Austria did) . Instead it opted to stay within a greater Germany and become it's best part. Today Bavaria is the most technologically and economically powerful region in Germany - and it has the whole of Germany now as its primary and biggest market.
The same thing is with California in the USA.
It's not only the biggest economy WITHIN the US, it's also the 6th largest economy in the World!
However, this is only because it is within the US and can leverage on all the synergies that come with that, that it can be so powerful.
If it were suddenly to try to break away overnight stand alone, as a competitor against the rest of the US, things would not be so easy.
Nigeria does not fear IPOB as is. Infact they WANT IPOB to challenge them, so they can militarily wage war on the Igbos.
IPOB at present is not the Biafra that Nigeria fears.
They fear the Biafra that becomes like Catalonia, like Bavaria, like California.
That's the Biafra they fear.
So they NEED this militant IPOB to give them an excuse to come and reduce Ala-Igbo to a wasteland again and turn back the hands of our clock once more to Zero, like they did in the last Civil War.
Even if we don't want and don't start any hostilities, they will use the slightest excuse or provocation or accident to send in their troops. Britain will support them and in the end USA will establish a military base in Igbo Land, to keep the peace. And that is how we will become occupied territory.
We have to be smart, and shift the battle to the field where we can win.
What I am saying is this: yes we will continue to ask for Referendum, like Catalonia does in Spain, like Scotland does in Great Britain.
But it is not Referendum that will give us the Biafra we need. And of course It is not guns that will give us Biafra, that we know.
As Igbos we have to conquer our chronic Individualism - and we have to pool our wealth, intelligence and efforts together to turn Ala-Igbo into a First World region, right here and now. But this is the most difficult thing for us because we are individualists! It is easier to protest.
The second point is: Our Governors. As much as we don't like them, we have to work on them and with them.
If IPOB mobilises the people against the Governors, the same way it is mobilising them against the Federal Govt, you will see how fast things will change.
What will the governors do? Start shooting their own people? If any governor does that, where will that governor run to hide from the people's revenge? They have nowhere to hide. Your state is your home - so they MUST listen to the people. If the people are united. And IPOB can unite the people because IPOB is very powerful and MUST start DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY from EVERY elected official in the south east.
Demand that they invest in INFRASTRUCTURES. Roads and transportation. Potable water. Drainage systems. Housing. Health. Education. Tax breaks for small businesses. Regional economic integration. Constitute expert groups accross every field from within and the diaspora to develop and advice on the framework for regional development.
Instead of going to Abuja, the Governors should come together, put money together from their budget and start building a second Niger Bridge. Start dredging the river Niger at Onitcha. Start developing the dry port at Abia. Start NOW and make it mandatory that EVERY south east governor prioritize regional integration. Taxes and tarrifs for business MUST come down to encourage investors.
Computer Village in Lagos is full of Igbos.
The governors and leadership should put their moneys together and build TECHNOLOGY TOWN in Aba.
Put their money together and elevate Enugu Airport to a level HIGHER than Lagos or Abuja airport.
Things like that. Developing the Owerri Airport to a full international cargo airport and take advantage of the central location of Owerri in the south east. Quality educational institutions are lacking in the east even though we constantly produce the highest number of aplicants to universities. Lets build more by collaboration with our foreign diaspora. They're the best in many parts of the world. Lets harness this advantage.
We need a world class Stock Exchange in Ala-Igbo. We can achieve that without the fed govt, because we own trading. Encourage our diaspora to work with govt to establish and run quality world class health care institutions in Ala-Igbo.
IPOB has already come up with a blueprint for an Igbo-wide democratic customary govt, the people's govt, very republican in nature, and this is good. This is power. Ironically, it might even be according to the nigerian constitution. If peacefully achieved, this can be the leverage with which to control the elected executive and legislative levels, if Nigeria stays together. And if Nigeria falls apart, then automatically we already have a framework state in operation.
However, IPOB must win igbo people over by championing their welfare with their own governors and elected officials. Threaten them with no re-election and criminal prosecution if they fail to serve their people. They must also encourage the training, standardization, integration and sharing of information by the different state security groups to stamp out crimes like robbery, kidnapping, human trafficking, etc. We are igbo. We are in the communities and we know those who are into crime. People MUST start explaining their sources of wealth. IPOB can utilize its huge following to ensure crime is wiped out and good governance is entrenched in the south east. Then IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu will forever be a hero who will be remembered kindly by history.
If we are doing things like all this, Arewa will not need to issue quit notice - Igbos will come back in droves to build up Alaigbo.
The Igbo governors can execute and implement ANTI-OPEN-GRAZING LAWS in their states, and call on all indigenes and state security groups to participate in monitoring it.
This will empower all Igbos and we will rid ourselves of these Fulani Herdsmen in no time.
This is priority. Every passing day is too much.
Ekiti State did it.
Benue State has done it.
It's not impossible.
Why cannot the States of the South-East ALL do it as ONE?
Anti Grazing Law.
This will shake the Nigerian Govt more than asking for referendum.
IPOB has power. If they use it wisely they can bring about tremendous change in Ala-Igbo without a single drop of blood shed. They are uniquely positioned by God at this period in time to use their massive following and break the individualistic igbo trait to bring about change that will positively shape igbo history for generations. If they misuse it by going the route of war, that didnt work decades ago, then it would be a great loss indeed.
If Nigeria stays together, we Ala-Igbo can become the most advanced region of Nigeria if we START NOW.
If Nigeria breaks up, we have to be ready to survive on our own. And at this moment, we are not yet ready. This is where we need to put our eyes into. Because the ball is already rolling.
What we want is for people to come and start investing in Ala-Igbo, from all over the world. They will do this massively if they see the political will and infrastructures being laid down in Ala-Igbo.
If that happens, everybody will protect Igbo land. Biafra will grow from within. Let Nnamdi Kanu, all Igbo leaders and thinkers read this and run with it.
I'm sending this to you do you can spread it to Ndigbo who are amongst your contacts so that this consciousness can spread and be built on. Lets develop Ala-Igbo from within.

I am not igbo, but this is the best thing l have read on this topic.
Catalonia is a threat to Spain now than they ever were since they began the agitation 300 years ago. Now they hold Spain by the balls and may likely separate this year if they want or lay down more terms of agreement.
If Nigerians continually see the lpob supporters as miscreants or mere traders singing Holy Holy to Nnamdi Kanu, then it would hardly threaten the so called zoo to give them referendum, they would rather make a case to the UN that economic hardship is the cause, and their separation may lead to another South Sudan. The UN would fear that more than anything else.
But a more prosperous south east doing things their own way would be a potent threat. |

This is what I have been saying since .... We Igbo control 60% to 70% of the Nigerian banking industry so if we play our games well found will never be a problem
All we need is a water tight taxing system and a political party the people can hold accountable with this two in place give igbos 20 years and we will produce for Africa and the world
We need to stop importing and selling instead produce in Igbo land and sale Our banks should be used to provide soft loans to mow this happen
I see. Greater Igbo in one Nigeria 1 Like 1 Share |

All these people with their useless ideas about how best to get Biafra. Ideas that will take 500 years to accomplish.
All this "make your Region great". "Hold your leaders accountable", "work with your Governors", "develop your land"
All of these things are absolute rubbish because none of them are achievable as long as Biafrans remain in a messed up place like Nigeria.
You have to be free to use your resources, human or natural, to develop your land.
Nigerian leaders cannot be held accountable because the flawed constitution of Nigeria makes them untouchable
How can anyone develope their land in a highly corrupt, inept and hostile enviroment like Nigeria? Not possible.
And how can anyone work with a Governor who is wielding invincible powers of immunity?
Bottom line is that freedom to change things only comes when you are free.
Nobody in Nigeria is free.
So I think that IPOB are on the right track. IPOB does not need to go to any war. All they have to do is keep using legal means such peaceful protest, election boycott, civil disobedience, mass mobilisation, Biafran sensitisation amongst others to put pressure on the powers that be. Eventually, I believe that Nigeria will get tired and give them a referendum. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

I must commend the writer for an insightful article. I believe a lot of things could be learnt from it and also, a lot of consideration would have been given to such ideas. The biggest achievement of the article is that it has opened the door for a conversation and constructive debate rather than the usual Internet insults and tribal rants, but my issue with the points raised are:
INFRASTRUCTURE: the state governors can only be held accountable when it comes to construction of state roads. They cannot construct or repair federal roads which will aid regional integration and improve state interactions. Those roads have become death traps and the federal government in a bid to keep the region down, will not even grant permission to governors to fix them just like it is done in places like Lagos (Though after a lot of out cry and Abuja connections). So, even if the Igbos in Diaspora decided to donate the funds for such projects just as they are known for, the policies from Abuja will not let it fly.
Same for the ports and airports. Igbos may build the standard airports and sea/dry ports, but will not be given the license to operate fully or even over taxed!
Now, to the issue of production. You cannot produce without power! Hope the writer is aware that power generation, ports, airports etc are in the exclusive lists of the Nigerian government? You can't carry out projects in these sectors without their permission.
Then to the second Niger Bridge. How on earth can that bridge be built By state when it is a federal project. Getting the permission to carry out that construction will take years of lobbying and for a federal government whose intent is to keep the region down, there will be multiple excuses why it cannot be granted.
What about the governors? You can hardly work with them because they are hiding under the failures of the federal government and the constitution that aids curruption.
So, like someone said above, it is only when you are Truly free that you can start doing all these cos it is easier said than done. 6 Likes |

Even if Jesus is made the governor without his divine powers, he won't accomplish much One of Nigeria problem is the creation of states that have no powers to develop themselves Switzerland model remains the best for Nigeria unfortunately the Hausa Fulani Yoruba people have vowed never to embrace it.

Until we have achieved that state of being, the desired geopolitical region remains at risk. So we must pursue both tasks together.
And the State of Being is as follows:
We have to do as the Catalonians do in Spain.
When they realized that the Castelianos (Madrid) will never voluntarily or easily give them Independencia, the Catalonians (Barcelona) decided to turn inwards and develop their region Technologically, Economically and Infrastructurally - and now they are the economic powerhouse of Spain.
The same thing is with Bayern in Germany. When Germany was declaring itself as a nation, Bayern (Bavaria) had the choice to stay out and be a country on its own (like Austria did) . Instead it opted to stay within a greater Germany and become it's best part. Today Bavaria is the most technologically and economically powerful region in Germany - and it has the whole of Germany now as its primary and biggest market.
The same thing is with California in the USA.
It's not only the biggest economy WITHIN the US, it's also the 6th largest economy in the World!
However, this is only because it is within the US and can leverage on all the synergies that come with that, that it can be so powerful.
If it were suddenly to try to break away overnight stand alone, as a competitor against the rest of the US, things would not be so easy.
Nigeria does not fear IPOB as is. Infact they WANT IPOB to challenge them, so they can militarily wage war on the Igbos.
IPOB at present is not the Biafra that Nigeria fears.
They fear the Biafra that becomes like Catalonia, like Bavaria, like California.
That's the Biafra they fear.
So they NEED this militant IPOB to give them an excuse to come and reduce Ala-Igbo to a wasteland again and turn back the hands of our clock once more to Zero, like they did in the last Civil War.
Even if we don't want and don't start any hostilities, they will use the slightest excuse or provocation or accident to send in their troops. Britain will support them and in the end USA will establish a military base in Igbo Land, to keep the peace. And that is how we will become occupied territory.
We have to be smart, and shift the battle to the field where we can win.
What I am saying is this: yes we will continue to ask for Referendum, like Catalonia does in Spain, like Scotland does in Great Britain.
But it is not Referendum that will give us the Biafra we need. And of course It is not guns that will give us Biafra, that we know.
As Igbos we have to conquer our chronic Individualism - and we have to pool our wealth, intelligence and efforts together to turn Ala-Igbo into a First World region, right here and now. But this is the most difficult thing for us because we are individualists! It is easier to protest.
The second point is: Our Governors. As much as we don't like them, we have to work on them and with them.
If IPOB mobilises the people against the Governors, the same way it is mobilising them against the Federal Govt, you will see how fast things will change.
What will the governors do? Start shooting their own people? If any governor does that, where will that governor run to hide from the people's revenge? They have nowhere to hide. Your state is your home - so they MUST listen to the people. If the people are united. And IPOB can unite the people because IPOB is very powerful and MUST start DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY from EVERY elected official in the south east.
Demand that they invest in INFRASTRUCTURES. Roads and transportation. Potable water. Drainage systems. Housing. Health. Education. Tax breaks for small businesses. Regional economic integration. Constitute expert groups accross every field from within and the diaspora to develop and advice on the framework for regional development.
Instead of going to Abuja, the Governors should come together, put money together from their budget and start building a second Niger Bridge. Start dredging the river Niger at Onitcha. Start developing the dry port at Abia. Start NOW and make it mandatory that EVERY south east governor prioritize regional integration. Taxes and tarrifs for business MUST come down to encourage investors.
Computer Village in Lagos is full of Igbos.
The governors and leadership should put their moneys together and build TECHNOLOGY TOWN in Aba.
Put their money together and elevate Enugu Airport to a level HIGHER than Lagos or Abuja airport.
Things like that. Developing the Owerri Airport to a full international cargo airport and take advantage of the central location of Owerri in the south east. Quality educational institutions are lacking in the east even though we constantly produce the highest number of aplicants to universities. Lets build more by collaboration with our foreign diaspora. They're the best in many parts of the world. Lets harness this advantage.
We need a world class Stock Exchange in Ala-Igbo. We can achieve that without the fed govt, because we own trading. Encourage our diaspora to work with govt to establish and run quality world class health care institutions in Ala-Igbo.
IPOB has already come up with a blueprint for an Igbo-wide democratic customary govt, the people's govt, very republican in nature, and this is good. This is power. Ironically, it might even be according to the nigerian constitution. If peacefully achieved, this can be the leverage with which to control the elected executive and legislative levels, if Nigeria stays together. And if Nigeria falls apart, then automatically we already have a framework state in operation.
However, IPOB must win igbo people over by championing their welfare with their own governors and elected officials. Threaten them with no re-election and criminal prosecution if they fail to serve their people. They must also encourage the training, standardization, integration and sharing of information by the different state security groups to stamp out crimes like robbery, kidnapping, human trafficking, etc. We are igbo. We are in the communities and we know those who are into crime. People MUST start explaining their sources of wealth. IPOB can utilize its huge following to ensure crime is wiped out and good governance is entrenched in the south east. Then IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu will forever be a hero who will be remembered kindly by history.
If we are doing things like all this, Arewa will not need to issue quit notice - Igbos will come back in droves to build up Alaigbo.
The Igbo governors can execute and implement ANTI-OPEN-GRAZING LAWS in their states, and call on all indigenes and state security groups to participate in monitoring it.
This will empower all Igbos and we will rid ourselves of these Fulani Herdsmen in no time.
This is priority. Every passing day is too much.
Ekiti State did it.
Benue State has done it.
It's not impossible.
Why cannot the States of the South-East ALL do it as ONE?
Anti Grazing Law.
This will shake the Nigerian Govt more than asking for referendum.
IPOB has power. If they use it wisely they can bring about tremendous change in Ala-Igbo without a single drop of blood shed. They are uniquely positioned by God at this period in time to use their massive following and break the individualistic igbo trait to bring about change that will positively shape igbo history for generations. If they misuse it by going the route of war, that didnt work decades ago, then it would be a great loss indeed.
If Nigeria stays together, we Ala-Igbo can become the most advanced region of Nigeria if we START NOW.
If Nigeria breaks up, we have to be ready to survive on our own. And at this moment, we are not yet ready. This is where we need to put our eyes into. Because the ball is already rolling.
What we want is for people to come and start investing in Ala-Igbo, from all over the world. They will do this massively if they see the political will and infrastructures being laid down in Ala-Igbo.
If that happens, everybody will protect Igbo land. Biafra will grow from within. Let Nnamdi Kanu, all Igbo leaders and thinkers read this and run with it.
I'm sending this to you do you can spread it to Ndigbo who are amongst your contacts so that this consciousness can spread and be built on. Lets develop Ala-Igbo from within.

Shared Article. Pls keep sharing it too..
valid point but i dought if this present Nigerian systerm and structure of government can make it posible. Federal goverment still controls more than 50% of do and don't in all the regions and states. Just one policy of federal government can render your fifty year achievement into usless and turn it to abandon project. Other countries you mentioned are mentally developed more than nigerian leaders . Nigeria is full of hatred and jeolours. Do you know you need licence from fedrel goverment to build some infrastructure of which the federal government is still the organ to decide if to approve or not. No motivation for hard work. How will you feel after every work you send the lion share to the center. 4 Likes |

IPOB can not say they represent All of the territories the want for their biafra without a sort of factual electoral success.
like Scottish National party did
As catolonia is doing.
Even if the FG were to give you a referendum as it is they will rig it.
IPOB need to built the institution first.
Get access to state machnism of media and structure to propagate her information. All the need is one state to state from.
without the state mechanism , they can aggitate and demonstrate as long as they want. They federal government that is very irrational will ignore them forever. stop talking nonsense. Nigerian polities is a detractor. IPOB going into polities is the End of Biafra. Grow some sense |

God bless you
That is why I laugh at people like Ex- Governor Peter Obi who thinks the problem is just leadership failure
Many fail to realize that the states can't do much because the power to
1)build infrastructures for international & national purposes and
2) exploit their resources
is not within the jurisdiction of the states.
Even if Jesus is made the governor without his divine powers, he won't accomplish much
One of Nigeria problem is the creation of states that have no powers to develop themselves
Switzerland model remains the best for Nigeria unfortunately the Hausa Fulani Yoruba people have vowed never to embrace it.
That is why Obasanjo called for the assassination of Kanu. obasanjo called for d assassination of kanu? u must be high on something. I rapugo ife ikwesiri iko koba ozo! |

Until we have achieved that state of being, the desired geopolitical region remains at risk. So we must pursue both tasks together.
And the State of Being is as follows:
We have to do as the Catalonians do in Spain.
When they realized that the Castelianos (Madrid) will never voluntarily or easily give them Independencia, the Catalonians (Barcelona) decided to turn inwards and develop their region Technologically, Economically and Infrastructurally - and now they are the economic powerhouse of Spain.
The same thing is with Bayern in Germany. When Germany was declaring itself as a nation, Bayern (Bavaria) had the choice to stay out and be a country on its own (like Austria did) . Instead it opted to stay within a greater Germany and become it's best part. Today Bavaria is the most technologically and economically powerful region in Germany - and it has the whole of Germany now as its primary and biggest market.
The same thing is with California in the USA.
It's not only the biggest economy WITHIN the US, it's also the 6th largest economy in the World!
However, this is only because it is within the US and can leverage on all the synergies that come with that, that it can be so powerful.
If it were suddenly to try to break away overnight stand alone, as a competitor against the rest of the US, things would not be so easy.
Nigeria does not fear IPOB as is. Infact they WANT IPOB to challenge them, so they can militarily wage war on the Igbos.
IPOB at present is not the Biafra that Nigeria fears.
They fear the Biafra that becomes like Catalonia, like Bavaria, like California.
That's the Biafra they fear.
So they NEED this militant IPOB to give them an excuse to come and reduce Ala-Igbo to a wasteland again and turn back the hands of our clock once more to Zero, like they did in the last Civil War.
Even if we don't want and don't start any hostilities, they will use the slightest excuse or provocation or accident to send in their troops. Britain will support them and in the end USA will establish a military base in Igbo Land, to keep the peace. And that is how we will become occupied territory.
We have to be smart, and shift the battle to the field where we can win.
What I am saying is this: yes we will continue to ask for Referendum, like Catalonia does in Spain, like Scotland does in Great Britain.
But it is not Referendum that will give us the Biafra we need. And of course It is not guns that will give us Biafra, that we know.
As Igbos we have to conquer our chronic Individualism - and we have to pool our wealth, intelligence and efforts together to turn Ala-Igbo into a First World region, right here and now. But this is the most difficult thing for us because we are individualists! It is easier to protest.
