Hmm!

I trust my people to dump the message which is key and revert to their usual hate mongering and all. To them, that is all that matters.

The key point remains that the security guys have abandoned the substance of their jobs and pursuing shadows, and governance is busy ripping the people off.

Interestingly, the people are so tolerant of these, while being so intolerant of one another.

Who says Nigerians are ready for change?

Another proof of what I have always argued if indeed Aisha Yesufu said this. I.e Nigerians have now worked out the Igbos to noted they are stupendously egotistic and emptily emotional to the extent even insincere flattery can be deployed to use and dump them. Is this not how FFK who spat raw bile and hate against Igbo became their 'Son' once he started praising them and hooked up with their 'daughter'? Fayose, hailing Kanu up and down while fighting Buhari, is now silent over Igbo issues since he is no longer a governor and does not need the emotional people anymore.

What concerns Yesufu with Biafra if not that the word is trending and she needs attention she obviously knows she will get mentioning a people who will swamp the internet and social media obsessively once anyone of note associate with their Biafra nonsense. This is simply what Yesufu is doing. Expect Deji Adeyanju and even Adeyinka Grandson to announce themselves as Biafrans soon. Activism is now a profitable and bonafide profession in Nigeria. For smart 'activists', mention Biafra and get paid/attention.

Igbo's do not need any praise singer to defend or advance their rights.

All these people identifying with the biafran struggle you mean should be denounced by the Igbo's? Why? Because you think they are riding on their back? But the Igbo's are losing nothing by that.

You are the one lacking reasoning and intelligence. My point is that Biafra has no ideological sincerity as you claim. It is a total fraud the likes of Yesufu, FFK, Fayose and co use to trend on social media and increase their personal popularity and relevance. Nothing typifies Biafra a fraud more than how Igbos , constantly claiming they want their own nation , leave and stay out of the SE to then adopt the language and culture of others.

Nothing shows the noise of Biafra as empty and insincere more than how your lawmakers in the state and federal houses of legistlature, business leaders and Igbo men/women of influence ignore agitating for Biafra. There is no 'ideology' buddy just a scam everyone sees through (like myself) and others use cynically for self-promotion and their own agenda (Kanu,Yesufu, FFK, Fayose et al).
YOU STILL DON'T GET IT!!! ENOUGH OF THIS RANT ALREADY SINCE YOU CANT ASSIMILATE WHAT THE MESSAGE IS ALL ABOUT.

Speak for yourself and don't conclude on behalf of the whole nairaland. You all don't want to accept her message simply because she said "we are all biafrans" forgetting that she was speaking metaphorically. Haba!! Hatred will make some people reject a better life just because something or someone they don't like is associated with it.

The other time, I understand some people from southern kaduna were also members of this biafuro. Even Elzakzaki is now a full fledged member and indeed a leader, FFK, Fayose, Atiku, just name them.

BOMB!!! "We're all Biafrans!", Aisha Tells Buhari, DSS (Video)

By Wisdom Nwedene

The Convener of #Bringbackourgirls, Aisha Yusuf, has told the Department of State Security Services, DSS, and President Muhammadu Buhari that "we are all Biafrans", Igbere TV reports.


Yusuf was reacting over the arrest of a Nigerian Journalist, Mr. Chido Onumah by the department.

Onumah, a Nigerian journalist and rights activist who was arrested and detained by the Department of State Services on Sunday evening, revealed that he was arrested for wearing a T-shirt with the inscription: ‘We Are All Biafrans'.

Igbere TV had reported that Onumah, who was arrested by DSS operatives at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, was detained for hours.

Speaking over the arrest, Yusuf said what we have is Political DSS.

She noted that the Vice president of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo was present during the time the journalist launched a book entitled "We Are All Biafrans".

She revealed that she is a Biafran too and the DSS can never shut her down to stop talking about President Muhammadu Buhari’s that has failed in all ramifications.

"DSS picked Chudo Onumah at the airport apparently because he was wearing a t-shirt that says "We Are All Biafrans".

"Are we not all Biafrans? Are we not refuges right now in our country? So, DSS that is supposed to be an intelligent gathering organization, protecting Nigeria, picks up a man, wearing a t-shirt that says we are all Biafrans, a man who wrote a book with the same title that the vice president was at the book launch. For what? Is it this same DSS that we rely on to gather information? Is it this the same DSS that we rely on to arrest Boko Haram leader, Shekau?".


She further lambasted the DSS and claimed that with the way they are going, they won't be able to curb the insecurity in the country.

She add that everyone is a Biafran including her.

" In case you don't know, my name is Aisha Yusuf, I am a Biafran, we are all Biafrans. We are not living in our country, we are merely surviving and we deserve better"

why not understand that we are unitedly calling for a better Nigeria. Most you defend failure to protect Mr President. The fact remains that well meaning Nigerians are calling for a better country, if that means an attack on Buhari, so be it!!

All of you should wake up from your slumber of ignorance and quit slipping into oblivion as did the generations gone before us!

I'm so tired of the division among the masses.

You people are only acting out a script by design without even knowing it.

There's no Biafra, OPC, IPOB, Arewa, Ibo, Hausa, Yoruba, Middlebelt, etc; there are only Oppressors and the Oppressed.
You should see your leaders and your purported enemy's leaders at events that they hold more dear than the ones you see on the pages of newspapers or on social media...celebrating their victory over you.

Our cultural and ideological incompatibility may be real but are only ingredients for a robust, multi-functional, and multi-flavoured society; and they should not distract us from the fact that some wicked few are up to manipulate our diversity for the success of their corrupt practices. It's the same ancient Divide and Conquer and Rule system.

A tuber of yam has to be processed, and sliced into many pieces before you can be able to swallow it, otherwise the yam will remain intact.

The few oppressors have been very successful in instigating and stirring up inter-tribal, inter-ethnic, religious conflicts through trusted but corrupt leaders (traditional and political alike), the media (most of which are owned by them), etc.

Now, quit fighting each other over national issues! Because the fight in itself is a solid evidence that you, the masses, have been defeated again and again.

You've all got a common enemy: you, as individuals! ...for your inability to realize that you are the government.
“Every nation gets the government it deserves” (Joseph de Maistre)
The power to change the destiny of this great country lies in the united but informed masses - any government would readily bow to such.

Wake up, Nigerians![color=#006600][/color]

I’m not a Biafran but you deserved to be quoted. The question for you is why do you HATE the word BIAFRA with passion? If Yesufu said she’s is Biafran, will it take anything from your person or change anything in the society? So is because of a merestatement that you’re speaking and dishing out all those BIG BIG GRAMMAR instead of cracking your brain to invent or create a new business strategy that will benefit you and I.

Is it not better that we all becomes Biafrans if that will make the system work? Nobody is begging you to be a Biafran so you don’t have to be so hateful just because you don’t share the same ideology with them especially when you’re not being forced to join their course.

Yeusuf made a better use of the word Biafra, if you have read and comprehend you would have noticed that her use of the words was not to divide us but to pass a message.. To her Biafrans are like refugees, therefore when your government are treating her citizens or a particular set of people as refugees for speaking out in their own land, she qualify those set of people as Biafrans..

Your hatred for Biafra wouldn't let you think and assimilate well. Your understanding is very shallow and wacky.
She was only making a point that Nigerians are living like strangers in their lands hence, the mentioning of the name Biafra.
Meanwhile, you feigned ignorance of the part she said that Osinbanjo was at the Book Launch.
