Some folks think the Biafran cause is advanced the more they see news of Kanu and IPOB in western media.

Wakey wakey....

International publicity of 'Biafra' means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

It is even an indicator of worse to come for the South East, in terms of insecurity, if care is not taken.

This was exactly the same way 'Biafra' was publicised in the western media in the 1960s.

Ojukwu was the toast of the world media, giving interviews to major western news networks.

Prominent Igbos like Chinua Achebe went abroad to play influencer roles as per Biafra.

In the end, what happened?

Biafra was crushed.

There is nothing to suggest that the support the world gave for One Nigeria against Biafra back then, will be any different this time.

Until you people understand that the world does not want NIGERIA to be dismantled, you will keep wasting your time in conflict.

Forget oyinbos for a minute.

The entire black world, including America's powerful Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People), Black Lives Matter, et al, ALL lobby the US govt to ensure the stability of Nigeria, which is regarded by the global black intelligentsia as Africa's and the black man's ONLY hope for a future black superpower on the Earth.

They, as well as international investors, are well aware that Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after India and China by 2050, making it a veritable world power and a world investment and industrialisation magnet of the first order.

Major international companies are already conducting multi-million dollar research on how to thrive in the Nigerian market in coming decades.

Indigenous businesses here in Nigeria do NOT want a breakup of Nigeria. Because they KNOW that that will cut their market.

Today they have free access to a market of 210 million people, which a splintering of Nigeria will reduce to 30 to 40 million, if they're lucky.

So why will they support breakup?

Go to INNOSON and suggest to him that Nigeria should break up.

He will chase you out of his office.

Same as any manufacturer in Nnewi or Onitsha, or Awka.

Or go and say it to Chief Allen Onyema, CEO of Air Peace, West Africa's biggest airline, which is now competing with Ethiopian Airlines.

Air Peace became West Africa's biggest airline just by operating within Nigeria.

Now they're expanding to Europe, Jamaica, India, Australia, America, based on profits they made by operating within the Nigerian airspace.

I mean, come on.

What are we talking about?

The money men and businessmen of Igboland are 100% aware that their prosperity and continued business expansion are directly tied to their free, steady, uninterrupted access to the Nigerian market.

And they know that such access is only guaranteed by the South East remaining part and parcel of the Nigerian family.

So the stakes are too high, both locally and internationally.

Money makes the world go round.

Money talks and bullshit walks.

Nigeria is going nowhere, and there will be no Biafra, unless via some sort of Divine Intervention.

I dont think you understand. A house built on poor foundation will eventually collapse, not because anybody wishes, or does not wish for it to collapse. It will collapse because it has no foundation

People like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are just tenants of the house who are warning their people living in the house to go for another accomodation before the inevitable happens

I don't know how old you are, but I can assure you that people have been projecting the 'imminent' collapse of Nigeria since the 1980s.

Nigeria is a VERY resilient country, and often gets to the precipice, but it NEVER collapses, because there are too many interests, here and abroad, that will fall with her. And those interests are not bad people alone. Good people too. So forget it.

Those interests are the 'foundation' you say Nigeria lacks.

They will ensure that the federal govt always has the wherewithal to maintain the territorial integrity of the nation, regardless of who is fighting who inside the country.

Oga you and many lgbos that respond to threads on why biafra is bad for lgbos are disappointing us.

Ask your self why people are creating multiple threads all advising lgbos but the same people have never created a single thread on the menace and atrocities committed by fulani herdsmen and bandits.

Ask your self why people get jittery at mention of ipob, biafra and esn but are calm, cool and calculated at mention of herdsmen, bandits and boko.

Ask yourself why any little incident in the east generates so much attention whereas multiple incidents in the north generates no reaction. Example, this week there was imo police hq attack there was close to hundred threads and thousands of comments. But bandits killed 9travellers in kaduna and abducted 28, yet there was just one thread with 28 comments. Bandits attacked villages in niger state, yet just one thread.

Lastly ask yourself when all these hypocrites, idiots, dunderheads and asswipes giving advice to lgbos up and down began to care and love lgbos

As an lgbo man, your attention is needed to fuel all these useless threads, pls learn to ignore them. We are not the only tribe in nigeria. All these busybodies should shove their advice down their throats

So how long do you think a country will keep getting to a precipice without collapsing one day? Such country is one living on borrowed time. A country that will last is one that rarely gets to any precipice.

If the Federal Government has not had the wherewithal to defeat Boko haram in 10 years, what magic will it do if eityer Oduduwa Republic or Biafra rise up tomorrow?

Wrong. Many countries have calmed down after years of being on the precipice. The United States is one such nation. Their history is written in blood, slavery, riots, racism, lynchings, oppression, and genocide.

Boko Haram are not seeking secession, and so do not attract the full force of the Nigerian military against them.

You're actually right on many points.

It is interesting to note that the bulk of the people who support Kanu are these categories of people ; people living outside of Nigeria, artisans, business people with low capital investments.

Nnamdi Kanu is not being pragmatic about the pursuit of Biafra. He needs to propose practical solutions to the exit.

His pride and god-like disposition would never get him the popular votes of the people neither will it attract the crop of intelligent people he needs to formulate the perfect secession plan. Even Ojukwu with all his charisma did not depict such boastfulness, though his huge ego was one of the reasons Biafra lost the war.

There is this Igbo idiom "Igbo e nwe Eze", translated as (The Igbo's have no king). Just like Israel did to Rehoboam the son of Solomon "to your tent oh Israel, look after your own house oh Jacob." That is how the average Igbo man feels. He is king in his house, and will not bow to any other.

He keeps talking about referendum, without realizing that if there is an emergency referendum tomorrow most people that falls into the supposed Biafra regions would vote against secession. You think any sensible "Biafran" with business interests outside of the region will be stupid enough to vote a "yes" without knowing what will happen to his business.

We see how the Brexit vote turned out with a number of "yes" voters now opting to remain in EU. And this is a loose association in comparison to Biafra and Nigeria.

Thanks for your logical, common sense approach to the issue.

I strongly doubt even he thinks Biafra is achievable.

It won't exist and year in year out, you are worried about it, just like Nigeria. So much energy exerted on sth that won't exist.

And you even need the validation of other countries, including the Ines you tagged racist to prove your point. Oga, there is nothing superpower about Nigeria as we speak, the country is in a downhill slope, answering present in all bad indices.

Peaceful secession is suddenly more problematic to you that the terrorism , the banditry and yet another terrorism called Fulani herdsmen.

I'm merely worried for all the simpletons like yourself who will kill themselves in yet another fruitless pursuit, to add to the 2.5 million Igbo lives lost in 1967-70.

You certainly live in a cloud cuckoo land. The day Nigerian government will accept to hold a referendum, you will be shocked at the number of Igbos who want out of this contraption. Perhaps you should ask yourself why they always threaten those who call for secession with war. They should hold the referendum already!

Nigeria is skewed to favour certain people, meaning that there's no fairness, justice and equity. I don't even have the strength to outline the brazen and endless failings of this joke of a country.

Like I always tell those who care to listen, the only set of people who wish to continue with this convoluted shithole are those who benefit from it.

For the rest of us who are deeply embarrassed to be associated with a dysfunctional system, leaving Nigeria is one of the best things that would ever happen in our time.

Nigeria will be 14th on this list of 10 major economies, and only 3 places behind the UK, by 2050, according to global experts, PricewaterhouseCoopers.





https://www.pwc.com/world2050

See, when the world of business, finance and politics makes their multi-billion dollar projections and plans for investment going forward, they utilise this ^^^ sort of multimillion dollar, world class research, which studies nations decades ahead of the current time, and not via the can't-see-beyond-Buhari-and-their-nose, anonymous internet rants of disgruntled non-entities like Aconomist and other nameless, faceless, unproductive malcontents.

If you notice, they project a low 4.2% GDP growth rate for Nigeria. This is because they've factored in ALL the problems, current and future, into their calculations. Goodluck Jonathan averaged 6% growth a year before the recession in 2014.

So this is a very low GDP growth rate being projected, and yet it will be enough to catapault Nigeria to a major world economy by 2050.

Think if we now had governments that will grow it by 6 or 7% a year, for even a decade. That will push Nigeria even further up on the list, and we could be talking about Top 10 economy by 2050.

If you are a wise betting man, you would bet on the experts being broadly correct, ignore internet laymen, and invest your fortunes and your time on the indivisibility of this great union.

Incoherent Rubbish!

America you're talking is not the country holding Biafra. They're are nonchalant over the issue of Biafra.

All Western nations sees Nigeria and issues emanating from Nigeria as territorial problems of Britain. Just as Britain treats what is happening in Southern Cameron as French territory dispute. Intervening there can be seen as trespass. The West respect each other that much.

If Biafrans want Independence, the strategy is to fight to finish. South Sudan is an example. UN only intervenes where there is crisis.

The US and the West in general were against the Independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, but they fought and defeated Georgia. They're free and independent from Georgia today against the wish of America.

Great points. There is no appetite for war in the East because there has been no provocation to war.

The herdsmen crisis is not enough to arouse the region to war.

In South Sudan, millions of South Sudanese were being starved and slaughtered in Darfur and elsewhere by Sudanese forces.

So there was a grassroots demand for defending the homeland and seceding from Sudan by force, through battle.

In Igboland, there is no such situation.

Igboland is at peace, and is prospering by the day.

Pepper soup joints are filled at night.

People are rocking life.

So there will be no war, and hence, no secession.

I agree with you that for now there is no large appetite for war in the East. But that can grow over time. A single major action can cause a change.

The action that instigated the last civil war was the pogrom against the Igbos in the North after the coup against Ironsi's govt.

Anyway why I replied in the first place was to counter your claim that it's Black NGOs lobbing in America that is preventing Biafra Independence.

The entire black world, including America's powerful Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People), Black Lives Matter, et al, ALL lobby the US govt to ensure the stability of Nigeria, which is regarded by the global black intelligentsia as Africa's and the black man's ONLY hope for a future black superpower on the Earth.

They, as well as international investors, are well aware that Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after India and China by 2050, making it a veritable world power and a world investment and industrialisation magnet of the first order.

Major international companies are already conducting multi-million dollar research on how to thrive in the Nigerian market in coming decades.

Indigenous businesses here in Nigeria do NOT want a breakup of Nigeria. Because they KNOW that that will cut their market.

Today they have free access to a market of 210 million people, which a splintering of Nigeria will reduce to 30 to 40 million, if they're lucky.

So why will they support breakup?

Go to INNOSON and suggest to him that Nigeria should break up.

He will chase you out of his office.

Same as any manufacturer in Nnewi or Onitsha, or Awka.

Or go and say it to Chief Allen Onyema, CEO of Air Peace, West Africa's biggest airline, which is now competing with Ethiopian Airlines.

Air Peace became West Africa's biggest airline just by operating within Nigeria.

Now they're expanding to Europe, Jamaica, India, Australia, America, based on profits they made by operating within the Nigerian airspace.

I mean, come on.

What are we talking about?

The money men and businessmen of Igboland are 100% aware that their prosperity and continued business expansion are directly tied to their free, steady, uninterrupted access to the Nigerian market.

And they know that such access is only guaranteed by the South East remaining part and parcel of the Nigerian family.

So the stakes are too high, both locally and internationally.

Money makes the world go round.

Money talks and bullshit walks.

Nigeria is going nowhere, and there will be no Biafra, unless via some sort of Divine Intervention.

If you are sure of this why not support a referendum to put it to rest once and for all.. Am sure you will reply with insult but be rest assured am here waiting for you cos I will insult your family to obivion if you try it

Op you have said it all. But the Ipobians will come for you. Your exact reasoning was that of Azikiwe and why he insisted on One Nigeria.
It is all in favour of the Igbos. However when they were in top just before independence and a little after the independence they wanted One Nigeria. But immediately the power shift in 63 and there after they don't want it again.
You can't have your cake and eat it.
