This is just a calculated attempt by the APC govt to create chaos and distract attention from the pressing issues of the nation which they can't handle. Just like the so called "Fresh PDP"

leezzz:

u ppl keep saying ojukwu declared biafra but keep on forgetting dat d same way civil servants pushed gowon to ignore aburi accord was d same way ndigbo were angry about d killings by northerners
ojukwu own worse sef cuz declaration or not d igbos were ready to fight d northerners
even murtala acknowledged dat d war was inevitable

The Aburi Accord failed because the talks favoured one side than the other. 'We people' don't have anything against Ojukwu for fighting for his people (which clearly, he wasn't), rather for leading his people to a slaughter house after claiming he was battle ready with a horrible grin as he stroked his beard. I believe I have uploaded the video to YouTube already.

He could have surrendered the moment supplies where cut off but no, he insisted because he had stashed food away for his immediate family while asking others to fight on empty stomachs.

'We people' have issues with you guys because the man responsible for your deaths fled with his children to a neighbouring country while millions of your people died. In the end, he returned a better Nigerian and proved that the deaths were for nothing.

'We people' believe you guys are stupiid not to see the clearer picture. It is only a matter of time again.

Actually most did. There was never a Catalan Republic in history....it was Aragon, and not the geography of the current Catalonia. Quebec was created EXACTLY the same way Eastern Region (which became Biafra) was created. There never existed a Kurdistan Nation in history. The kurds (just like the Igbos) are an ethnic group scathered in different middle eastern country through colonisation. They want to come together and form a country.

I will overlook that u called me a tout

Catalonia existed as an independent kingdom before taken over by Spain. Quebec first existed as a French colony. Take note, this territories mentioned forst existed as autonomous entities. The igbos don't have this same similarities. Biafra never existed before Nigeria. It only came about through illegal secession attempt by Ojukwu. It came about only as Ojukwu solution to the massacred igbos in the north. Simple!!!

When we ask you guys to get some knowledge, one would think it is an attempt at ridiculing your points.


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/does-catalonia-want-independence-spain/

With the issue of Catalonia settled, you should know you are not even in the same rank with her. Biafra in itself was never an Igbo word and is not till date.

The Eastern region functioned as one of the many parts of the old design which got the country going. There was the Western Region, the Mid-western region, the Northern Region, the Middle Belt region and the Eastern Region. Interestingly, none of these regions were autonomous.

It is sad that an Internet user in this modern day and time would describe the old Catalonia as a mere settlement. This is 2018 and it is way too early to brandish ignorance in this manner.

First of all the article u quoted was obviously a catalan propaganda. 2ndly Catalans have been a part of spain and speak spanish longer than Igbos have been a part of Nigeria. 3rdly, there were Igbo kingdoms too. The Arochukwu empire which included modern day Abia and parts of Imo, Ebonyi, Rivers, cross rivers and Akwaibom. The Nri Empire which includes all of Enugu and Anambra and parts of Delta, Imo and Ebonyi. The 2 empires either directly ruled these territories or influence these territories tru trade and culture. The british conquared these 2 empires and united them into southern protectorate and later carved them out as Eastern region.
4thly the eastern region formed by the British had official autonomy and functioned as a nation. It was in 1954 that it attained self rule and authonomy. Compare that with 1953 for northern region.
5thly. You interestingly left Quebec and other examples I gave which a closely related to Eastern Nigeria, to emphasise on catalonia an obviously grey area. Wow.
South Sudan..what of it?
6th. Nigeria is not a Nigerian word so what do u mean Biafra is not an Igbo word? Are Igbos the only tribe in the autonomous Old Eastern Region Nigeria whose govt declared independence in 1967?

What I can respect is that the modern day clamour for Biafra should either be stopped or should only include the areas of the old eastern Nigeria... which sadly excludes Delta State, along with the many Igbo and Ijaw tribes in it.

The old eastern region was created by the British, just like they created every other region. It was never independent. The eastern region only had autonomy under the Nigerian federation. U can't claim something u did not create in the first place.

Oga, those who have their nose to the ground knows that Catalonia existed as an entity before they were captured by Spain and forced to lose their sovereignty.

By the way, that piece there is published by the Telegraph in the UK. Why would it then be a propaganda outlet when it is not Igberetv news?

Senegal was colonised by the French, but then, does it mean Senegal never existed before it was colonised? Your answer perfectly links to that of Catalonia and Spain.

Catalonians don't speak Spanish, rather they speak Catalan, a language which evolved from VULGAR LATIN. Despite being colonised by Spain, they still hang on to their language till date. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish.

SPANISH language speakers might have a hard time understanding Catalan because they are not the same.

You clearly no next to nothing about Catalonia and Spain, yet you never stop comparing it to Biafra. Isn't it funny?

Now before you give me the Arochukwu nonsense, you might need to save me the stress by talking about the origins of the Igbos. Yorubas, Hausas, Edos, Urhobos all know their origins and align with it. If you would talk about Arochukwu or whatever it is, then you should do well to talk about your origin; how your people came to be. That way, we would have a better understanding of Biafra and perhaps do you the honour of comparing yourselves to Catalonia.

PS: Quebec isn't my focus in this discourse but Catalonia. Align with your strength and argue it out there.

why do u keep skipping Quebec. Why are u hell bent on catalonia...which i insist is a gray area.

Self governing regions (1957) Edit
In 1957 the Western and the Eastern regions became formally self-governing under the parliamentary system. Similar status was acquired by the Northern Region two years later. There were numerous differences of detail among the regional systems, but all adhered to parliamentary forms and were equally autonomous in relation to the federal government at Lagos. The federal government retained specified powers, including responsibility for banking, currency, external affairs, defence, shipping and navigation, and communications, but real political power was centred in the regions. Significantly, the regional governments controlled public expenditures derived from revenues raised within each region.

Am tired of this argument. The three regions of Nigerians functioned as seperate countries with power of self determination prior to 1967 when gowon abolished the regions.

Self determination was giving to the province of south cameroon in 1961 by the eastern region without seeking permission from federal govt.

Quebec remains a part of Canada and bears no resemblance with your Biafran madness.

1. For starters, the name Quebec was chosen by Samuel de Chaplain, a French Explorer. How is it related to the Eastern region?

3. Arthur Richards divided Nigeria into three regions with little provinces springing from them. It is during this time that the Eastern region was birthed just as other region. Whereas, a Royal proclamation founded Quebec.

Quebec today is a French speaking territory within Canada and there are many factors to consider in the case of Quebec as against what you guys know;

1. Quebec is already like a foreign country with its own language, culture and civil law. The French in Quebec do not like the English.

2. Canada as a country is now bilingual due to a large French population in Quebec. This endeavour was also supposed to strengthen and French language and Quebec heritage in the Canadian lifestyle. Quebec maintains special laws and acts to restrict the use of English in their province while the rest of Canada spend millions on French language training, bilingual government access and bilingual packaging for industry. If any other province were to create a law to restrict French in their respective province, all hell would break loose.


Note: Quebec's call for secession is because they trace their origin to France. They well believe they are not English and have no business with them. Hence their call for separation. Like I mentioned earlier, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS FROM? HOW ARE YOU RELATED TO QUEBEC? HOW IS THE DISCOURSE OF CATALONIA A 'GREY AREA'?

The bolded is a lie. They were never countries but autonomous regions created by the British to administer Nigeria. Southern Cameroon was a British colony administered by the British from Nigeria but not joined to the British territory of Nigeria. They only joined the eastern assembly and later left due them being unhappy with the domineering attitude of Nigerian politicians and lack of unity among the ethnic groups. At a conference in London from 30 July to 22 August 1953, the Southern Cameroons delegation asked for a separate region of its own. The British agreed, and Southern Cameroons became an autonomous region with its capital still at Buea. This means the eastern region never granted them self determination. They were already an autonomous region different from the eastern region. They were granted self determination by the British, not by the eastern region.

In 1884, the headquarters of the British agent for the Bights of Benin and Biafra was moved from Fernando Po to Calabar and in 1889, the Oil Rivers Protectorate, later known as the Niger Coast Protectorate was established. This protectorate would later join Lagos to form Southern Protectorate and later Eastern and wester protectorates.

Arthur Richards divided Nigeria into three regions with little provinces springing from them. It is during this time that the Eastern region was birthed just as other region. Whereas, a Royal proclamation founded Quebec.

Lol a Royal proclamation was used to create all Nigerian regions...thats why they have distinct coat of arms under the crown. Every action of the Governor in Nigeria was sealed by a royal proclamation.
