How does Nigeria need Biafrans to survive? If that's the case why not give them a place of pride in the country. Does Biafra want to secede with all of South South? Are they not asking for there to be a referendum to truly know those who want to join them?

You must be kidding right?
I have seen instances where the Anambra man will look down on the Imo man as less sophisticated or “a Jew man”. The further you go into the East, you will find disharmony based on cultural differences.

Every part of Nigeria is excelling in its own right.
The Igbos are not superior to any other ethnic group in Nigeria. Each is unique with desirable and not so desirable qualities. That is the beauty of Nigeria.

KanwuliaExtra:


I don’t think it is a fair analogy with Nigeria and Britain. Igbos are not oppressed in Nigeria.
Even within the IGBOS, there is no unity.
A Biafran nation in the hands of a few diaagreeing warlords will be catastrophic to everyone.

We have to find a way to make it work and restructuring Nigeria is the best route so far.

I do not support a BIAFRAN nation for the mere fact that IGBOS are no different from other Nigerians.

A Biafran nation will not work because there is no unity in Igboland just like all over Nigeria.

I hope the future generation of Igbos will forget this Biafra of a concept. It is not in the best interest of Igbos or Nigerians.

"Biafra will not work because there's no unity in Igboland".... This is my problem with Nigerians, why are you concerned about our plight, while your nation is dying? Are you okay?... Who's that wise man that leaves his problems and be solving others, please charity begins at home.
Save Nigeria first, stop predicting what you don't know. The Nigeria you know is failing and you're busy proffering solutions to others.

I for one, am concerned for about the plight of all Nigerians. When you start killing yourselves in Biafra, Nigeria will be your closest neighbor to receive all the renegades expunged from the self-inflicted chaos on Igbos by Igbos right!?

Back to square one.

Oooh! You see why some people receive insult without words?

You're concerned, but couldn't help your nation into becoming poorest state of the world, with Nigeria housing 3rd and 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world, you're concerned while Northern States are practicing Sharia.

Please be concerned about your belovedth nation that has more IDPs than Iraq, Sudan and Palestine. Nigeria is number 1 on IDP in Africa and 3rd in the world.

You can't help yourself, but you want to help Biafra sha? Just imagine Buhari tell Ghanians that he will help tackle corruption in Ghana, and they started laughing the emptiness of his skull.

You are looking at this the wrong way. Did the British oppress Nigerians? Maybe they did in the begining when they came to conquer every one but by and large, they did not. So why did Nigeria seek its independence from Britain if Britain wasn't oppressing them?

Scotland isn't being oppressed by Britain, in fact, Scotland is doing very well by being part of Britain, the 5th richest country in world.

So why did Scotland seek a referendum in 2014 where they voted on wether to leave or stay in Britain?

There is something called "self determination". It means controlling your land, your resources and your destiny. No matter how well a person is doing, if that person is under the control of another, they are not free.

Wether Igbos are oppressed or not is not the issue here, Scotland and Catalonia are not oppressed but they want to be on their own

Wether Igbos are united or not does not come into it, if people should be united and loving to each other before they get independence then there should be no Nigeria for we are not united either.

Gambia is not up to the population of the city of Enugu but it is an independent country but the future of over 40 million Igbos is being decided in a strange land called 'Abuja'.

I want Igbo land to a free and independent country, I want my future to be decided In Enugu, Aba, Igweocha or Abakiliki.

You better forget restructuring. People like you have been talking about restructuring for 50 years now, if you come back in another 50 years, they will still be talking about the same restructuring. The core North are totally against restructuring and they control 40% of the National Assembly, which is the only arm of government that can restructure Nigeria.

Even if things in Biafra are as bad as Nigeria, knowing that we Igbos are now our own masters is an unbeatable feeling.

As a true son of Igbo land, the greatest thing I can wish for my people is freedom and independence , with or without the other tribes that border Igbo land. This constant fighting with Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani over who gets what, when, how and why cannot be forever just because Lord Lugard brought us together in 1914

JoannaSedley:
What I see here is fear. Fear to make a move. The we die here attitude of most Nigerians that has never yielded anything positive.
There is disunity everywhere in the world ....UK internal strife between the Scots, Welsh etc. In the US, some States like Texas are angling for independence.
Give Biafra referendum and put it to rest once and for all. Ignoring it is postponing the inevitable because the quest for it will never go away.

NB: you have been out of this hellhole for long to make that second paragraph. Every part is not excelling and there is no right anywhere. Come back home and taste the excellency of every tribe, not what the media is churning out like some ruminant animals.

And Biafrans want to view the "beauty" of Nigeria from afar. That's not too much to ask. Is it?

l didn't want to reply you before..but l would let you know the truth why Nigeria can't secede..The North are the majority people in Nigeria...the north is land locked..the wealth of the nation emanated from the south..if the south seceded. the north will suffer most... the North would never like giving the reins of power to the south cause the fears of secession ..especially the south east ..No matter what kanu and his henchmen try to do to secede Nigeria ..it will not be possible..the British are friends to the North before independent and after independent ..my friend try to understand.is not possible the result would be grave and hopeless not salvation and hope.

America fought a war to STAY TOGETHER!
The south suffered a humiliating defeat from the North. America is great again.

If ALL THE IGBOS had the same BIAFROID agenda, it would have been a reality by now.

The Nigerian despair is felt all over the world irrespective of location. If you choose to live in a SHYTEHOLE, fight from there!

Your choice, not mine.

Are you seven years old, Can't a people disagree? At BREXIT was it not 51% of British that voted against 49%. Does it mean they didn't agree?, Nigeria wake up from bigotry-Nigerian mentality.

Why are Nigerians more passionate about IPOB and Biafra related issues, instead of showing same level of energy and commitment to Nigerian plight?
I've watched my fellow Nigerians closely, they invest more energy plotting against IPOB and Biafra, instead of proffering solutions to issues mitigating the growth of the nation.

It's naturally expected to see citizens of any country to show ardent concern to their country first. Book Haram is ravaging the nation, killing over a 118 soldiers, people are loosing their jobs, no power ...Yet, the citizens are busy antagonising IPOB, who are tired of the status quo and need a change. Is it that Nigerians love the pain of joblessness, no power, insurgency and economic hardship?

Does it occur to many of us that by 2040, oil will sell less than $30 because, all European nations,USA and China will stop the use fossil cars? How do we generate revenue? Does it bother you?
We pay $30 per barrel to the Company that thrills oil from deep waters.

Defending Nigerian retrogression is like defending the devil. Countries like Mauritius, Cyrus, Brazil and Singapore got there independent around same time. And if you say population is the problem, what do you make of China,Brazil and USA?

I'm ashamed of you. Proffer solution(s) to the difficulties facing Nigeria, stop investing energy on others problem.

Nowenuse:


I admire this piece and believe me I think I am now a fair supporter of the concept of Biafra or disintegration of the country.

However, @bolded. Brazil gained independence from Portugal about 200 years ago. No Latin American country gained independence in the 20th century. They all did in the 19th and 18th century.
Mauritius is an extremely small country.

The countries I think you should be comparing to Nigeria (outside Africa) are India & Pakistan. Not necessarily cos I think that they're at a close level of development like Nigeria, but because they were both colonized by the British and gained independence at a similar time frame with Nigeria. They have large populations and are multi ethnic nations, even though both India & Pakistan are not equally divided by different religions like Nigeria.

Countries like Egypt manage to make better progress than Nigeria in my own view because they are ethno-religiously homogenous.

Look at the likes of Ethiopia & Congo. They are among the most populated countries in Africa with ethno-religous diversity just like Nigeria. These countries are worse than Nigeria.

Large colonized nations with strong ethno-religious diversities are not just meant to make progress in my view. If anyone thinks the contrary, they should bring forth a suitable example of a large progressive ethno-religiously divided country.

BREXIT is not BIAFRA.
Nigeria has the upper hand and will NEVER allow BIAFRA to happen.
Britain had the upper hand, unlike BIAFRA.

Even Ojukwu came back and wanted to be a senator in Nigeria, having realized BIAFRA WAS JUST AN ILLUSION,

Good luck!

kernel001:



Sorry which Nigeria has upper hand? It's either you're too young, or your living in self deceit.

The nation is a laughing stock among the league of nations. It's known for tactically supporting terrorism, giving them Amnesty, for being corrupt, lack of opportunities and is worst place to birth a child.

Nigeria is economically founding up, with the introduction of electric cars, it signalling an end to Nigerian oil dependent economy. If you have another alternative bring it, there's high level of infrastructural deficit.
How long will Nigeria borrow to fund her budget?

My point is that you should focus on IPOB and Biafra, because Nigeria will never recover again economically, Biafra will leave when the nation is almost dead, just like now. Foreign investors prefer smaller nations with sanity than big for nothing ..... Biafra Hunters.
