PROUDIGBO:
If by Gods' grace Biafra or Ndigbo manage to secede, and like Pharoh, 'one Nigeria' wants to force them back again, who will do the fighting on the Nigerian side? Or you're thinking the dynamics that obtained in 1966 is still obtainable today?

If full-blown hostilities break out between 'one Nigeria' and any seceding ethnicity/group, just know it's gonna be curtains on this failed Lugard experiment!

OruExpress:


hoping your enemy is unpopular is not a plan.

Franzinni:
The only way forward is for Igbo people to have one mouth on one topic and the rest is history...

Igbo's are never united on any cause there are always elements that will splinter or sabotage

Not until they speak with one tongue and one voice ... Hmmm

The case is like a house divided amongst itself

Nah crumble be the result ...

bigpriik:
Will Nigeria ever let go of biafra without war how possible is that? Someone should plead explain..what strategies do ipob have on ground to actualize biafra.

Igbochief001:

is their any tribe more United than Igbo in Nigeria ...please I dare u to name them

ChimaAdeoye:


You cannot just hope for no war. You MUST prepare yourself with money, training of volunteer youths abroad and good access to weapons. Like the Fulani herdsmen that only attack unarmed villagers, once they see you are ready to give them a bloody nose, they will leave you alone.

So this is where the old English adage:

"If you want peace, prepare for war"

is truest!

LukasPodolski:

I would say you're right....


a tribe that branded some of her seeds as OSUs.

I also learnt that the states were further classified as thus;

Anambra Igbos=First class Igbos

Enugu Igbo=Second class upper Igbo.

Imo and Abia=Second class lower igbos.

Ebonyi= third class Igbos, i learnt Ebonyi Igbos are also referred to as Failed and less igbos

the above sum everything up, Igbos are the most United group in Africa, little wonder they always get what they collectively aspired for.....

LMAO.

Samfloxin:
Get out.

Nigeria will surely disintegrate but the day and time no one knows. The fact remains that for this to be successful,other regions like Yorubas, Middle Belt are to revolt too. It will be much easier if other tribes lend their voice to support the struggle.

PROUDIGBO:


Who's talking of a plan here? I'm telling you the dynamics that saw the entire country gang up against the Biafrans and subsequently the Igbo....such dynamics don't exist today, so talking of war is just academic as it wouldn't be allowed to happen by those who want 'one Nigeria' preserved! Who will join the Fulani to fight to preserve the status-quo....is it Southern Kaduna; Tiv; Yoruba; Ijaw; Akwa/Cross?

If however war manages to break out, it would sound the death knell for Nigeria as presently constituted.....and Igbos or Biafra don't have to win said war!

LukasPodolski:

why must other tribes lend their voice(s)?

you should realise that other tribes too have their own agenda, you can't force yours on them...


nonetheless, that should not stop you guys from clamouring for Biafra, you can start by boycotting Nigeria, leave Nigerian territories, from Kano to Lagos to Abuja, who knows if UN might consider you guys.... Nigeria does not have the power to grant you guys autonomy......

The Yorubas have their own agenda, same with the South Southerner minorities, Hausa/Fulani, Middle belt minorities e.t.c

foolishness is when you think Everyone must follow you...


well, what do I know..

Samfloxin:

Thanks for the question you asked yourself

OruExpress:


People don't fight wars out of sentiment. If someones hates the Fulani or Nigeria but a Nigerian victory is most beneficial to their own interest then so be it.

Nobody is going to rally around Igbos because Igbos think they're the good guy and fulani the bad guy. Fulanis are encroaching on peoples territory and putting their business ahead of everything valuable to the locals. In fact theyre accused of trying to dominate said areas.

Do you that is is exactly how non-igbos feel about igbos? so again, hoping your enemy is unpopular isn't a plan

PROUDIGBO:


It's either you don't know the meaning of the word sentiment, or you're just being clever by half!

For a country or people to go to war either offensively or defensively, they have to be fired up enough on an issue......have an opinion one way or the other that they feel justifies their action!

At no time did i say anyone or grp will 'rally around Igbos because igbos think they're the good guys......' and all that! Whatever decision the grps i mentioned take will be determined first and foremost by self-preservation and self-interest! You actually believe they will see joining the Fulani to fight Ndigbo/Biafra so as to sustain the status-quo will be in their best interests? They will be driven to act based more on how they see Nigeria of today and their position in it, and if you think any grp other than the Fulani want the status-quo to continue then you have another think coming!

Get it: the reaction of ethnicities in the event of Ndigbo/Biafra seceding will be determined primarily by self-interest, and not primarily by the popularity or otherwise of the Fulani as you're wrongly interpreting my argument to mean!

OruExpress:


By the time the firing up begins' the decision to go to war has already been made.

If the Fulani cause is more beneficial to the individual and better strategically executed, people will join theirs.

Right now all regions get SE SS oil from the region that wants to secede. If Fulanis can keep this oil coming in for nigerians, shell, chevron and the british then they and their allies will support them.

See how that worked? If you don't believe me go and check the first war. How 'they see nigeria today' is not a plan and is not strategy. As a reality it is subjective. The leadership of a people will make the decision and they all benefit from the status quo.

What have Fulanis done that Igbos aren't also doing? Leave the low grade chattering people are doing online. Right now in any given mod sized Yoruba town, Igbos owning 30-40% of the land isn't unheard of. Do you think this is appealing and welcomed? Can you imagine the reverse happening. If your village was 30% owned by Fulani? The small Ruga that was proposed gave everyone high BP.

Igbos are not buying land as a part of a collective domination strategy but you can't tell non-igbos that because they won't believe you.

So what about the Fulani cause is alarming to non-igbos? Why do you think someone will join or support your cause on ethnicity alone? You're good and they're bad?

This is praying on sentiment to save you. What Fulani are clumsly hoping to do with Ruga Igbos have successfully done in every single Fulani owned settlement or town in Nigeria with a paved road. If you don't understand the first war or igbophobia think about what I'm telling you.
