How do you want to keep the country and say a section of the country should not be President? The West has done, the South has done, the North has done several times, then you want it to go back to the West again, and you want the country to be together, and you don’t want IPOB to talk, why are we deceiving ourselves? There is no honesty in it; there is no principle in it. Anybody who is saying power should come back to the South-West (2023) is an enemy of Nigeria’s unity. If we are sincere about keeping the country together under a federal system, it is illegal and immoral for that Constitution to exclude an important unit of the federation. It is not a question of whether you like it or not.
has anyone placed embargo on ibos contesting presidency...its democracy... majority win it's not selection...any Ibo man who think he or she can win should contest and campaign simple u don't threaten ur way to presidency

Degree 34 does not mean an end to regional government n resource control...It is a unification of the Nigerian civil service and unification of police, Armed forces n paramilitaries across Nigeria.





From the day Aguiyi became military heads of state u too the day he died, Every region (Provinces) had access to mine their natural resources, They kept back 70% of their resources n submitted 30% to the centre.




Gowon brought an end to regional govt n resource control in Nigeria.

Read the book EMEKA by Frederick Forsyth.
thank God u brought emeka same book quoted ojukwu advising ironsi not to implement decree 34... ironsi didn't thread carefully in a fragile Nigeria then ...murtala and danjuma wanted to take the north out of Nigeria as they fear dominance politically by the east who were successful economically...hence the counter coup that consume ironsi let's learn to present facts without emotions...

You people are still playing stondage politics in 2019.
Is it a must Easterner to be in one Nigeria?

Even Christians and Muslims can't live as one, how do you people really want us IPOB to live as one with all this persecution of Biafran people by Nigeria forces everyday?

Yoruba and Fulani can be in their one Nigeria, but we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) will never be this Nigeria.

We Biafran people are far ahead of all these one Nigeria propagandist campaigns.

Biafra or Biafra.


Singing... If we are one Nigeria why are they killing us in every peaceful self determination rallies(agitation)?

Of course we know.
Ojukwu agreed with Awolowo to pursue negotiation for federalism
But before Awo could reach his base, Ojukwu had declared war on Nigeria.
Ojukwu's calculation is that the Nigerian government would assume that
Awo was in on the deal and would concentrate the military on the west.

If Ojukwu's calculations were correct, the FG would have declared war on the west first
on the wrong pretext that Awolowo's had declared war by aligning with Ojukwu. Thus, paving
a smooth path for secession since the government would be too busy fighting in the west to even
bother retaking the east.

Unfortunately for Ojukwu, his gambit failed and Gowon refused to declare war on the west even though
most of his advisers pressured him to do so.

The most basic thing is that it abolished Federalism.. ..

Read:

Decree No. 34

[24 th May 1966]

THE FEDERAL MILITARY GOVERNMENT hereby decrees as follows:

1. Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24 th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as 憈he appointed day�) cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic, by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation.





Has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that each location in nigeria had a province (region) had resource control.

He never ended those things, Gowon did it.

Any mention of the announcement of secession without note of the genocide leading up to this (and just boiling down to a supposed ego of three men) is a heavily biased assessment.


The war was avoidable but Ojukwu's chest beating mentality didn't allow him negotiate or keep his agreements with Awo or Ogbemudia who was his contemporary and who awaiting a negotiated settlement.
Re: Ayo Adebanjo: Ojukwu Betrayed Awolowo With The Civil War by NnwachukuOkike: 5:12pm On Aug 29, 2019
That's why this generation of Biafra(Easterner) is pulling out of this hell fire called Nigeria after the failed, rotten extermination experimentation.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu told them to destroy the useless Nigeria forces 1999 rotten Constitution, only to form operation python dance against him and IPOB.

Is too late for one Nigeria.


Let us give Biafra system a chance.

Yoruba and Fulani for Nigeria, IPOB for Biafra.

Abeg when are self acclaimed Igbo leaders coming to abroad. We Igbo people need their help in abroad here grin

Ultimatezlmnt:
Let the e war begin.

My own be say the regional heads of west, east both wanted the possibility of having a large country and expand their territory.

Their would have been no Nigeria let alone a civil war if everyone stayed firm in their region

They thought they could head it but the thing backfired

What can you restructure. There is no country in the world that has true Federalism. Eventually the Federal character becomes too big and completely takes over. Nigeria must divide. Sorry to say. There is too much bad blood. Let us just call it irreconciable differences
