When I saw her citing the Congo - Angola example, I knew she didn't understand the basic factors that led to it. If both countries were not on good terms, and did not share extensive bilateral relations, would it have been possible? Besides it took years for them to even agree on the issue.

go and ask that to Igbos,
I am amazed the ways you oduduwas carry biafra issue on head,
its ridiculous,
mr man, go and read un chater on internationl water body,
drcongo activated it and dredged their congo river to the ocean passing through angola waterbody,
its all about diplomatic relationship,
and btw way, obeaku river in Abia is the shortest to atlantic and not river niger,
when we reach the bridge, we will know how to cross,
worry not about us
There is nothing like UN charter on international water body. If it exists, can you quote the relevant sections that support your claim? What is available is the UN Law of the Sea. And there is nothing in it to support what you just said.

Biafra is Vary possible, with well coordinated & Strategic Guerilla warfare.
When this happens, to other ethnic groups, there won't be a distinction between the separatist agitators and other Igbos. The Igbos nationwide will be targets of reprisal attacks. Think about your decisions properly and be ready for any consequences of your actions.

SaharaTV interviews prominent Igbo lawyer and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Dr Olisa Agbakoba (SAN) on issue concerning ipob and Nnamdi Kanu, inwhich he stated that Biafra Is Not Viable accounting to his experience as a Biafran soldier.

I must say that the first Republic of Biafra failed in its endeavor because of soldiers such as useless SAN in the person of Olisa Agbakoba. Eritrea started the agitation for self determination almost the same time as Biafra. Eritrea was soundly defeated not twice yet each time restarted the fight for independent homeland and today Eritrea is a country. I must tell Olisa Agbakoba that he is not the only Igbo man who fought as a soldier during Nigeria/Biafra war and it is act of recklessness to say that Biafra is not viable. It is unfortunate that IPOB did not realize that armed struggle is an integral part of the process of self determination. IPOB should have armed themselves and started absolute destruction of what makes the zoo stand.

IPOB got killed because of their useless and meaningless approach to self determination and dumbass country such as Nigeria. Besides it is a noted fact that cost of freedom has always been steep.

U guys are so senseless.


Avengers sent nigeria to 800k barrels per day as against 2.2 million barrels. If the FG didn't back down n they sustained their attacks until nigeria got to less than 100k barrels a day, I assure u nigeria would have split in a very quick fashion.

This is absolute nonsensical trash and shameless falsehood. Not everyone who lived through Nigeria/Biafra war has condemned another round of it in order to achieve unconditional freedom. War has always being part of human nature and will continue to play a part in shaping of our future. I shall fight again and again to achieve freedom for my people.

I like the fact even though Olisa Agbakoba said Biafra is not viable, he also said the unity of Nigeria is not by force. He said that it is not a must we must all be together and supports the idea of a referendum.

It is one thing to say that Biafra will not be viable, it another to be a "unity of Nigeria is non negotiable" type of person.

From the interview, it is clear that Agbakoba supports self determination. He might not support Kanu's style, but he is not against the ideology. Agbakoba is a practicable man, the fact that he thinks Biafra will not be viable does not make him disregard the right of Igbos to have Biafra. This is the kind of man you can work with, not a closed minded person like Buhari who thinks the angels came down from the Sky and designed Nigeria to last forever.

My good friend, U seem to be seeing everything from pessimistic point of view, lets try to be a little objective in our analysis of these things. in the first place what suggest to u that the Niger Deltan even if they are independent state from Biafra will be hostile to them? the possibility is very low, Even the Yorubas are not that enemy of the igbos to bear arm against them. A look at lagos and the way the other tribes coexist will tell u that armed hostility is very low amongst these people, yes there might be ill feelings here and there but where are there no ill feelings? Then lets take your worst case scenario that every other stste around Biafra hates them they will still survive. In reality the fact that every one hates them will even bond them together to achieve greater ends. Just look at the State of Israel, and u will see that the entire south east is far much bigger than Israel, they are landlocked, they use irrigation all year round in their Agriculture yet, yet they produce enough to eat and export. they thrive well and have u ever herd of economic recession from that quaters. they are sorrunded by hostile neighbors and so what, they adjusted their policies to fit the reality there. Today they export War ships, today the Tavor series (tavor 21) that the SSS, The Navy and recently The Nigeria Airforce are using is produced and owned by israel(just look at israeli weapons.com to see more) My brother Biafra IF achieved will still thrive the realities on ground are not as harsh as you are putting them. thank U

Dear friend,

When embarking on perilious journeys like this, it is best to assume your worst case scenario. It amounts to delusion to do otherwise. Remember the old saying; "never underestimate the other guy's greed" (also insert jealousy, envy et al).

There is a reason why Nigeria does not really care about our neighbours; Niger, Cameroon and co. As different countries, overtime, our interests differ...and even oppose each other. No matter how friendly you expect Niger Delta and Biafra to be, overtime, reality and competition will differentiate them. A landlocked will become an economic victim of the Niger Delta.

As for Israel, she is not landlocked. Two, she is the creation of Anglo-American wealth. It will be foolhardy to assume Biafra in the same breath as Israel. It os such folly that will lead to destruction of the East.

Because senators cannot get referendum at the national assembly, nobody can, they simply wont have the numbers.

The only way to get referendum is by agitation and civil disobedience. When the agitation gets loud enough, the national assembly.
the catalonians av bin agitating for over a hundred yes, Scotland more than 200 yes, bro referendum no be beans.
the only reason england allowed it is coz they knew d Scotts would vote to remain

Foolhardy is a very strong term. I agree with U dat we should assume a worst case scenario in situation as this but I strongly doubt your worst case scenario will apply with Biafra. How were these people able to withstand federal might for 30 Months . How were they able to power their Automobiles & other artillery for d 30 Months d war lasted. are U aware that within the period there was a lot of research that went on outcome of which was d Popular Ogbunigwe aka Ojukwu bucket.but in Nigeria they did not have time for such research. My dear friend don't underestimate what a human being can achieve when pushed beyond their comfort zone, don't ever underestimate it. Israel quite well is US pet nation but it will be a misrepresentation of facts to call their achievements Anglo-American Wealth. They are in fact the closest of what a determined nation in d midst of foes can achieve. Israel hv disagreed severally with US & Britain both covertly & Openly, Israel's greatest Military wares some don't even find their way into America. Even if they received help from US it was their human capital that built their state to what it is today. but ur point are well clear

Many products are exported and imported by air,
so stop worrying about Igbos,dear.

You don't just fly over a country's airspace without permission. Haven made so much enemies around you, any flight that crosses Nigerian airspace from biafra land will be shot down.

Plain and simple!!!
