You're just running around like a headless chicken. Your posts are usually full of lies and propaganda I don't just know why you always do that, maybe to save face when cornered.

The truth remains that, when the jihadists in Abuja wanted sharia law, they did not go to the national assembly or call for referendum or call for votes rather, the twelve sharia states went outside the nigger-arean constitution and agreed and introduced sharia law. So, I don't see the reason why you Afonjas choose to fight Ipob who have chosen to ply that same rooth.
OK, go and get the referendum then, just ask the Jihadists how they went about it
Hope no quarrelling about that idea and nobody is fighting IPOB's strategy

Once again wake up and deal with the world as it really is not as you think it should be.

As it is this.

Your ancestors were defeated by the colonialists and their territory Annexed by Britain and transferred to their successor the Nigerian State. Your forefathers signed up to that and REJECTED a secession clause in the independence constitution

That is the reality today.

So you have two choices if you are not happy go to war or humble yourself and think up a long term strategy.
As it is now you are just making noise



Here is the reality' if you secede by force there will be a very bloody civil war This will have consequences for the Yoruba so we will not permit it

Our forefathers never signed up to Nigeria. Never was was a referendum held in which Igbos were given the option becoming Nigerians. The Nigeria we gave today was the making of the British. In 1960, the British colony called Nigeria assumed self rule and adopted a constitution.

There is no such thing as anyone signing up to Nigeria, what the ethnic nationalities signed up to was independence and self rule from Britain.

The same way the British forced everyone into a colonial contraption called "Nigeria" just for their selfish interests, is the same way some sections are forcing others to remain in the colonial contraption called Nigeria, also for their selfish interests

Nigeria has remained what it since the days the British created, just another system to exploit people

We don't need to ask the jihadists when we already know what they did. The thing is that you lots should leave Igbos alone to bear their cross. Stop taking panadol over our headache after all you're not Igbo and can never be.

Were the likes of Zik, Awo and Bello selected by the British or elected by the people of their regions to represent them? They were leader of their parties meaning there were other members elected by the people to represent them and whatever they say means the people agree with their representatives

If the people of the old Eastern region decided not to sign up to Nigeria, it should've been up to their representatives to mention it to the Brits and since the people didn't do such, it means they were in agreement with the British.

When Zik refused referendum and secession in the constitution, why didn't the people of the old Eastern region revolt against him? When he refused the de-amalgamation of the country, why didn't the people of the old Eastern region revolt too? This only goes to show that the people agreed with their representatives and of course the Brits too.

So why blaming the Brits only when the leaders and people of the old Eastern region had all the power to right the wrongs of the Brits? Why crying the victims when the leaders and people of the old Eastern region brought about the calamity this country is presently in, Ironsi and Ojukwu finally nailed the coffin with their poor judgment of events.

Did they have a referendum when Russia was created.?

Did the indigenous people of America have a referendum before The US was founded?
Or Brazil?

Nations have been founded by force since time immemorial.

That is why we say you are sentimental and reason like children.
Deal with the reality in front of you rationally.


The truth is that Zik who had an elected mandate represented you in independence talks so do not distort history .
If you are unaware research it

Having said that it is your choice and prerogative to opt out.

You tried the Biafra war It did NOT WORK.

So think rationally about an approach that might work.
Anger is not a strategy?


People have been evacuated from their ancestral lands since the beginning of time.


The US still has indigenous folk who are now in the minority just like South America and Australia

The Palestinians were kicked out of their land to create the State of Israel.

Do you think that cannot happen to you?
Do not believe that the Nigerian state cannot evacuate iboland and repopulate it it with IDPs from Borno.
It you do not have guns learn how to act like a fool till you do and dispense with impotent pride .


Nothing wrong with your agitation in principle but you must have a strategy.

If Nnamdi Kanu is whom you believe to be your Moses then you deserve pity.

You are a confused people.

Why should there be another civil war to bring the Igbos back? Nigeria brought the Igbos back in the first civil war and hated them till this day for going to war and for being 'arrogant'. You hate them bitterly but still fighting to have them with you, to what end? Why do Nigerians want Igbos in Nigeria even though they obviously hate them? Dont tell me they dont hate Igbos, they do even the blind can see it.

I keep repeating the same thing

You reason like children

No one is interested in keeping Ibos.

Let me spell it out for you

Your ancestral land has been annexed over 100 years ago and is now part of Nigerian territory.

Ibos are free to leave Nigeria and return to Israel but the territory is now Nigeria.
Just like white folk took Canada and Australia from the indigenous so with Iboland

The earlier you digest this the better for you.

Any violent confrontation will simply mean evacuation of what used to be your ancestral land and the creation of new facts on the ground.
This time you will be evicted.Ask the Palestinians
Once again think rationally not emotionally. Find another Moses because Nnamdi Kanu will lead you to humiliation

I understand the issue of territory and annexation. And this has no emotion in it but a honest question! Nigerians are making it seems the common hatred for Igbos is a uniting factor.
You put barriers or enforce barriers to ensure they dont leave but treat them with hatred because they attempted to leave before and still expect them to stay. Britain that created Nigeria is leaving EU and even the constituents of G. Britain like Northern Ireland and Scotland want out of UK so why should the self determination of eastern people be a concern of western people? They were living on their own about 150 years ago!

The same childish nonsense.
If it was all about just Ibo people why did Biafra seek to do to the Eastrrn Minorities what Nigeria was doing to the Ibos .
Why annex their territory

Look guy all this nonsense about hating Ibos is very silly.
What is the way forward?
When the Soviet Union broke up not a bullet was fired.

The Ibos should think about how they achieve the same without war.

If you continue down the IPOB path the outcome is predictable.
However it seems some Ibos just want chaos.
Whether they represent all Ibos remains go be seen.

You need to get away from this mindset of victimhood and hatred which you are full of and accuse others of when you are the real haters.
There are certain lessons you must learn

First deal with your inferiority complex. The way you do so now with compensatory superiority completely alienates everyone.

Let us take the Hausa for example.
They were a more advanced civilization than the Ibo for centuries before colonialization.
Yet today when you hear Ibos talk you would think they discovered electricity.
With your attitude you need to examine yourself and stop talking about hate.
Change your approach to politics and respect ALL Nigerian's in your deeds and words

You were living on your own 150 years ago in little hamlets not as Biafra. You were not advanced politically to develop anything beyond the Umunna level.
You were a source of slaves for the more advanced Efik and Ijaw but I 1966 you now wanted to take over their lands

As at when Biafra was declared, the Eastern block was one region and one state so Biafra couldn't have been declared otherwise!
You are trying to be clever by half. You know democratic means in Nigeria to achieving Biafra is a cul-de-sac yet you are advocating that route.
Nigerians seems to think Igbos achieving Biafra

Have you asked yourself how the USSR managed to break into 11republics without a single bullet shot? The reason for the breakup was far from what you gave as the reason, did you know that most of them were independent countries before they merged and the agreements they had if they are to break up?

Have you asked yourself how former Yugoslavia had to go into years of war and killings before they finally broke up and the whole world rested? Do you know that most of the countries were parts of other empires and kingdoms before they merged? Do you even know why they merged?

Have you asked yourself why countries like the US, Russia, China, Nigeria, France and virtually every country in the world don't have any referendum for secession in their constitutions but Canada, UK, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland etc do have it?

You'd need to study different countries and their history to know how they evolved in their sociopolitical history to know this and that's what I'd advice you to do so you can understand more.

Nigeria would've been a country with that in our constitution but read and study our sociopolitical history to know why it was jettisoned and by who.

Any part of the country that still wants out still has the opportunity but there's a path to follow in order to get it into the constitution and failure to do so, your Igbo Biafra would be annihilated this time with maybe over 30 million dead from different causes(God forbid it and that is IF you follow due process).

So you never heard of Massob during Obj presidency? IPOB is a group with greater determination than massob that's why they have greater support in Biafra land. The agitation for Biafra is driven by marginalization of Easterners. If a friendly govt is in power like Yaradua, then there is a sense of belonging.

I dont know if you're from SW but if you say nobody is happy, is that not enough reason to self determine? Oyo state alone is bigger than many European countries so what's the issue here? Why dont you see Biafra as a way of achieving Oduduwa republic when you have Lagos as an economic hub, oil in lagos and indo and other resources which guarantees that SW will be atleast 3 times more successful than it is today. I like the Southwesterners but their seeming reluctance to independence or change is worrying.
The reason there may be war if Biafra is declared is if Oduduwa, middle belt are unable to declare same time. Declare same time and the military looses the power to fight!

When Jonathan was in power they did not want Bafta.
The moment they lost out they started the agitation.

Without giving thought to the consequences or the price that they would have to pay for this behaviour
If they want to be taken seriously talk and act rationally like adults.
If you want to be taken seriously then a t seriously
Everytime you lose out you bring up Biafra like it is a game or like you are most disadvantaged.
No one is happy but we must act rationally

So you never heard of Massob during Obj presidency? IPOB is a group with greater determination than massob that's why they have greater support in Biafra land. The agitation for Biafra is driven by marginalization of Easterners. If a friendly govt is in power like Yaradua, then there is a sense of belonging.
MASSOB didn't go about insulting other Nigerians and calling for death for them and that was why the group was never proscribed till date and designated a terrorist group unlike IPOB and Kanu who preached hate and death for other Nigerians thereby jeopardizing the safety of Igbos all over the country

I did not fight in the last war but sometimes sacrifice needs to be made if necessary. Americans in all their might loose soldiers in the middle east but they are still there. 6 millions Jews were killed but today Israel is a powerful nation. How many Germans died in the first and second world wars? Before going to those wars, surely they had seen wars before but when its necessary, its necessary. Who die remain nai be first born!

Afraid when I know I'm only chatting with a generation younger than the indomie generation especially those who had never taken part in a riot or protest, those I know when given a catapult to aim at a sitting duck or chicken would be scared, a generation who I know that their parents might be too young to have experienced the last war, a generation who feel they can be sitting in the comfort of their beds and updating their pages on social media while shelling and bullets are flying over their heads, a generation I know who feel that a war is just like a game on their mobile devices and they can determine who wins and loses and when game starts and ends?

But did you support massob then inspite of their peaceful nature? They were also criticized by Lagos-Ibadan press! You are saying massob never insulted anybody, but if Igbos leave IPOB and embrace massob, massob becomes your new enemy!

Why are you patronizing him, did he tell you he wanted Oduduwa republic? You want your Igbo Biafra, why not go all out for it instead of trying to bring the SW and middle belt into it, thank God that this time you didn't pull in the SS as usual.

Funny thing is that you know you can't go it alone and that's why you must do attaché to one region or the other and insulting them same time.
I recommend Boko Haram for you, they are the only group that could be of help in this your trying times.

Fine and cool, declare your Biafra already and you can become the first casualty and Nigerian on both sides would celebrate you as a hero

But he could speak for himself na? Who is patronizing him now?
Oh, because you dont want Oduduwa republic,
you wanna act as stumbling block? Pikin wey say him mama nor go rest himself nor go rest. If you do not see the influx of Igbos in the SW as a threat, dey there.....until you become minority in Lagos!
