Beating about the bush, I asked you a question to provide a link as to when the people of old Eastern region requested for a referendum since you've always insisted that they want it.
You mean a link where the over 50 million indigenous people of the old Eastern region had a meeting and invited your twisted yoruba media to cover it?

Give us any link when the people of the former Eastern region requested for a referendum and equally requested Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB to be their mouthpiece.

If I ask 10 IPOB members to give me the boundary limits of Biafra, I'm sure to have 10 different responses, you've even added Delta state too, what about the Igalas and Idomas in Kogi and Benue states Nnamdi Kanu wished for? BTW, when did you ask people living in all of these places if they wanted a referendum, if not why can't you try asking the northerners to go for a referendum to determine if they want to remain in Nigeria or not since you can determine a referendum for any group of people.

You are Nigerian, did Lord Lugard give you or your ancestors any referendum about whether you want to be Nigerian or not? He didn't

So if nobody gave you a referendum before you became Nigerian, why are you bothered about who was asked about referendum in these areas?

First, question how you became a "Nigerian" before you question how another person becomes a Biafran

stop listening to that oyoruba moslem living in nkpor with an igbo woman!!!

igbos were going about our own businesses in the north one sunny morning in the sixties when, out of the blue, northerners who used to eat and drink with us as neighbours, set upon us and our eastern brothers and started murdering us in our tens of thousands!!!

leave that satanic moslem to keep blaming igbos for the shiithole zoogeria has become today, refusing to acknowledge that a curse has been placed upon this lugardian contraption, and wanting us to get destroyed alongside them!!!

their eyes go soon clear fiam!!!

the international interventionist invaders are soon coming to the shiithole to tear zoogeria to pieces and we, the great easterners, are SOO gone from the shiithole ASAP, AMEN!!!

Continue crying and wailing for your referendum and secession, I've schooled you enough to understand how to get it.
Get it legitimately through your senators and reps or just declare your Biafra and make sure you are battle ready for Nigeria, don't repeat same mistake Ojukwu did when he declared without adequate preparation, allies or weapons. Also know the territory you want to fight for so you don't go in to fight and the locals push you out themselves.
You say Nigeria is illegal, is your Biafra not illegal, how many Igbos and non Igbos have told you that they want an IPOB Biafra or you are trying to impose it on them, they never asked you for a referendum too.
Zik did that and more, go read up on Nigerian history and stop saying what you don't know, even it was Ironsi that signed the anti secession decree into law. In all of this what were the Igbo politicians and the Igbo people saying?
It is now you want a referendum and secession, continue dreaming because it is allowed

History revisionist, the constitution for independence was signed by leaders of different ethnicities including the Igbos in the person of Azikiwe, he was the same person that refused a de-amalgamation of Nigeria when the north requested for it,
He refused for a referendum and secession clause to be entered into the constitution when it was requested by Awolowo,
What did other Igbo politicians say, what about the general Igbo populace? Nothing because they all agreed to it.
So it was the Igbos that wanted one Nigeria most so we all must live in it is, nobody is running away from it,

Before you criticise anybody asking for referendum, you must show us the referendum that made you a Nigerian

If no referendum made you a Nigerian, then you have an illegal country and an illegal citizenship.

Therefore, you have no right to to question anyone seeking referendum since your citizenship and country are both illegal. The people seeking referendum are the ones that are trying to do the right thing while Nigerians like you are the ones who are illegal

Why you no include itsekiri. The Itsekiris have warned Kanu and IPOB people from including us in their Biafra madness, but them no gree. They just can't take their eyes off the oil.

You can even see a nairaland thread where various SS leaders dissociated themselves from biafra - https://www.nairaland.com/2733473/southsouth-voices-against-biafra-agitation

But Kanu and his people are ready to die for SS to be included in their utopia.

Mazi Kanu doesn’t need to ‘bring loads of insults to Igbos’! You and your alternate monikers are doing a good job of it yourselves!

It’s not hard to see that, besides trying to cause enmity and disaffection between different Igbo states, your other remit on this forum is to try and see if you can sell the narrative that Igboland consists of just ‘your five south-east states’ that Igbo haters like you love to lay emphasise on!

One person for these@bolded.

My nature of work has made me to know much off delta and rivers state and has gathered enough truth to know my stand and pursuit.

In my service days, I served in delta...and was opportuned to meet many igbos names that will boldly tell to ur face that we are not igbos even. 5 year old in them.


The onyekachukwu, chibuzors and the rest are not igbos. I agree because u don't force Identity on people.


Kanu has consistently with recourse to anything brought all sorts of insults, lies and. Verbal attack from these south south people.

Why would you continue to pursue people that doesn't want you, if not foolishness......

Many lectures even by scholars have been delivered by these people of not been igbo, then why is kanu still. Insulting himself with these people that will insult him at any instance.

Since south east agreed they are igbos and now houses the 5 igbos states....it is not wrong to say igbos can only be found in SE.

Kanu should make. His struggle entirely ours, we that are igbos.....QED.

The area that is geographically knows as Biafra is the SE/SS without Edo state or the old Eastern Region plus Delta state.

When referendum comes, Isoko, Urobho and Itsekiri can all vote to continue with Nigeria. I'm very confident that Anioma will vote to leave wuth their Igbo with and kin

Everybody gets what they want, life goes on. Important thing is that unlike Nigeria, people chose where they want to be in the case of Biafra


The Only Reason you excluded Edo was because you feel you can't dominate them, Delta state has always been an Extension of Edo.

Now let's talk about the referendum you guys keep shouting, When Delta and Edo was part of Western Nigeria, the Minorities felt they were being dominated by the Yorubas, then Edo started a Midwest Separatist Movement. As at then the Urhobo's were neutral not until Awolowo changed the "Olu of Itsekiri" title to "Olu of Warri", that action alone soured the relationship between many Urhobo leaders of thought and the Yoruba dominated Action group, before you know it the minorities started a massive campaign for a referendum to be conducted so that the people can decide if they want to stay in Western Nigeria or have a separate region, A referendum was conducted and 579,077 (89.07%) voted to have a separate region while 7,218 voted to remain in Western Region, 89.07% was in excess of the required 60% (or 392,478) for the creation of the Mid-West region and so the region was born on August 9, 1963.

Now take note of what I typed above, Because I won't respond to dumb response, The leaders of Each minorities fought for a referendum to be conducted in their land, Oba of Bini played a huge role in Educating the Edo masses about a referendum, the Ovie's in Warri and environs started having meetings with chief heads about the need to have a separate regions, Anioma wasn't left out, Deign of Agbor also played a major role in the referendum, Asaba was rooting hard to get the job done, several bills were sponsored by Western Igbo regarding the creation of a separate region.

Now compare that to what we have today, The Urhobos, Isokos, Itsekiri etc haven't showed any interest in leaving Nigeria not to talk of sharing a country with a major Ethnic group, We have made it clear that we are not interested in your struggle, Even if we want to leave Nigeria, We are capable of Speaking for ourselves, We have political leaders, Unions and Kings that will lead the struggle, not some stranger who is not even related to us.

I can see, at the bolded, that you now have supernatural powers and can see into the minds of EVERYBODY in all the multitudes of ethnic nationalities that make up the non-igbo part of biafra!!!

congratulations oh thou mighty spirit!!!

well, for the avoidance of any doubt, an advertisement shall be placed in ALL the newspapers and radio/TV stations informing you guys of the date of the referendum and you people shall also be given a reasonable space of time to declare your interest in participating in the referendum and coming to meet ipob with you guys application letter in which you guys must unequivocally declare your interest in joining the sovereign state of biafra as co-equals with we, the great igbos.

after your application has been duly vetted and accepted by ipob, a sovereign national conference shall be convened and all matters/issues as to how all the tribes that make up the new, wonderful and independent country of biafra shall co-exist as one people, under the name of the United Tribes of Biafra: in freedom, justice, peace and equal rights, shall then be duly trashed out and completely sorted.

MNK has all along told whoever cared to listen that 100% resources control and an unanimously agreed tax percentage for the running of the federal government is basic.

so don't worry yourself, when your own referendum ballot paper gets into your hands, simply thumb on the "no" box if you so desire!

finally, and in parting;

the international interventionist invaders are soon coming to the shiithole to tear zoogeria to pieces and we, the great easterners, are SOO gone from the shiithole ASAP, AMEN!!!

You seems to be confused, identity crisis in igbooid group of delta state is mostly within agbor ika, people,
The others down ogwashi ,asaba are proud igBo people,
In rivers state there are many proud igBo groups , we are not talking of ikwerre here,
A Biafra for only igBo people can Consist of proud igbos of abia imo, anambra,enugu,delta and rivers,

The Isoko, Itsekiri and Uhrobo are already in a country that has 3 majorities, it's an improvement for them if the actually end up in a country with only one majority.

The people who are currently spearheading the Biafran agitation is mainly Igbos. Delta state is made up of a sizeable Igbo speaking people known as "Anioma". So the interest in Delta state is not unusual. The agitators want all of them. Everything Igboid from Asaba to Agbor/Igbanke. Igbos such as myself have full confidence that when referendum comes, Anioma will vote massively to leave with its kith and kin.

However, Anioma shares Delta State with Urobos, Isoko and Itsekiri. Now none of the Biafran activist want to take anyone who is unwilling, or their land, into Biafra, as well as to draw the new border lines. So if Uhrobos feel that they want to continue with Nigeria, they should vote that way to avoid a situation where someone will turn around the next day to say that Anioma took a chunk of their land away.

The Urhobos already had a share of being dominated by a single major Ethnic group, we won't try that mistake again (Never). The experience in the then Western region wasnt really nice (don't want to go into details), thou still better than what some suffered in other region(s).

Now if your read my previous post clearly, I said for a referendum to be conducted in any Town/Clan/City, the indigenes of that place must first of all agree to vote, you "DON'T" impose referendum on people, The questions you should be asking yourself are,

* Are these people interested in this struggle?
* Are they ready for disintegration?
* How is our relationship with this people like?

Still on the issue of referendum, let me again cite some examples using the Mid-west referendum.

When Anioma, Edo & Urhobo were leading for a separate region, The itsekiri's weren't that interested, because of the bound and relationship they had with Yoruba, it took some time before the Olu of Warri keyed into the Idea, and the only reason they accepted that was because they felt if they remain in Western Nigeria, Yoruba will and can easily adsorb them into their fold since they speak a version of the Yoruba language, So they joined the other minorities in a call for referendum so as to protect their unique identity, even after the voting, A significant amount of Itsekiris voted to remain with the Yorubas.

So in essence, without the approval of the people and their leaders you can not conduct any referendum in any place, Even if you want to penetrate into Delta state, start with Anioma, That's the highest you can go, I see no reason why an Itsekiri man will vote for a Biafran referendum or why an Urhobo/Isoko man will vote for a Biafran referendum. These particular ethnic groups have no single affinity with the struggle.

If there is need for us to fight for a new country, we are capable of doing that "Ourselves", but for now let us think for a way out of this poo our leaders brought us in.

They totally hate it. My best friend is from Delta state but one day i jokingly said he is a Biafran because he is Igbo (Chinedu is his name ) He bluntly told me he is not Igbo and not a Biafran. Can you just imagine? Even my roommates name is Arinze from Delta State but yet he claims not to be Igbo
Hmmm interesting. Did he say what tribe he is from?
Sunday Okechukwu Olise once said he is not Igbo but failed to Say his tribe...this is dumb
FYI there’s no tribe called delta in Nigeria

You are asking questions a referendum is designed to answer. If the Uhrobo or Isoko or Itsekiri feel that they are better off in Nigeria, they should vote to remain in Nigeria. Infact, a referendum can be structured in a way that if they abstain from voting, it will be assumed that they opted to remain in Nigeria. What I'm worried about is that if Anioma votes to go, they dont take any of the lands the border with any of the ethnic groups that decides to stay. That's why it is advisable that people come out to vote their choice because the referendum result is what will be used to demarcated the border between those who wish to go or stay. I think by the time a referendum comes, most of the ethnic nationalities would have weighed the pros and cons and know where they stand. But for now, the object is to get the National Assembly of Nigeria to agree to a referendum. That it self will not be easy, but that is what agitation is for

Have the people of Anioma or any other group asked you for a referendum or you just want to force it on them? I have told you, since you and IPOB only can decide who and which group needs referendum then go request same for the people of the north.
At the bolded, thank God you have finally agreed that your reps and senators have a say in having your referendum

You are talking to a human bot. He is programmed to think like " if any tribe is not interested in biafra, they should vote in a referendum " even when the people are not interested in a referendum. They will repeat that and no matter what you say will change that .

I give up Oshare.

Hiannh, No matter what you say, they are just wired to reason that way, I'm no saying anything again, I don't have time for useless conversation.

Why will someone vote for a referendum that doesn't consign them?, I don't even understand how these people reason, I feel they have an interior motive behind this by force by fire referendum.

The issue of Biafra has never for once crossed into the mind of our people, it has never been a discussion among the people, I just know nothing like that (Referendum) will ever happen, but one just needs to cure some of their ignorance. Even in Nigeria look at how they are imposing their opinions on others, one can just imagine how a country with them will look like, I reject that for my future generation.

I greet you sir.
