Don't forget the fact that algae soup and skull mining will be prohibited in the Biafra

OfoIgbo:
Unacceptable.

Gowon is not the one to determine the borders of Igboland.

There are millions of Igbos in the SS, and they must come with us if they want.
We will not be abandoning our SS Igbo brothers to perpetual slavery.

[s]In this piece, I'm going to let you see why getting Biafra with only 5 SE states may not be a bad idea.
I will list my points below.

1. Other enclaved countries. Biafra would not be the only enclaved country in the world.
Lesotho is entirely enclaved inside South Africa. They have a population of almost 3 million and still have a higher GDP per capita than Nigeria. As far as we can have an internationally brokered deal with Nigeria to freely allow us use Nigerian airspace for civilian planes, we would be just fine.

2. Oil and gas money The south east has more oil and gas reserves than the Federal allocation it gets.
With oil in Abia and imo States and gas in Anambra state, we have enough of that resource to gradually build a more sustainable economy if we plan well. Don't forget that Nairobi Kenya was built with money from tea and coffee. Nairobi is more beautiful than Lagos built with oil money.

3. Military Today Igbos have no military and have no right to form a military. If we are allowed to go with our 5 states, we would have the right to build a military, To buy as much deadly weapons and defence technology as we can afford to buy. We can get Israel to even help us with a low budget iron Dome technology for aerial self defense. We can be able to take the war to any future enemies without being sitting ducks.

3 Customs, immigration today Igbos have no right or sovereignty to defend our land. Any abokì can walk from futa jallon and come and settle in the hills of Enugu. All we can do is rant as far as fulani government refuses to act, we can't do anything. Any trailer filled with whatever can drive into SE today without us being able to check what is inside. With biafra we can legally mount checks on our borders to check what is going in and out according to international law. Do you know that oil is being smuggled out of Anambra on a daily basis? In biafra, we can have checks for things like that legally

4. Passport if they allow us take our 5 states, we would also be obliged to drop the overabused Nigerian passport that can't even get you into Cape Verde. We would create our own passport and build its reputation on a virgin ground and with hindsight on how reputation can ruin a passport

5. Foreign diplomacy today Igbos are not known in international politics. With our 5 states, we would have the right to join the United Nations. We would have the right to build relationships with other countries on equal basis. We can even become a closer friend and protege to Israel, Our president can stand Infront of the UN general assembly every year to speak for us. We would automatically become a sovereign people. Very very important

6. Federal tax if we get our 5 states as biafra, all the billions of naira that goes from our region to Abuja in taxes will stop. That is money that we can use to build our nation

7. Federal fees instead of paying Nigeria government for things like passport, driving license, vehicle papers, radio and TV licences etc, you pay it to the Biafran government. That money can help us achieve a lot.

8. Policing in our 5 states, we will no longer have abokì people mounting road blocks on our roads and killing our hustling youths in the name of policing all because of deep-seated hatred. Biafra police would be 100% Igbo

9. Airport and travel with biafra of 5 states, we would now fly and land in Enugu (for instance) instead of Lagos or Abuja. Our government can even partner Air Peace to create an airline carrier that can later rival Ethiopian airlines. Where there is a will there is a way. Remember that

10. Sea port it gets tricky here but we have options that may be better than going to Lagos to clear our goods. We can import with more air cargo than with ships. Or We can spend money and dredge the river Niger and dock at Onitsha river port. All we need to do as a country is to buy barges and keep them at onne port, once a ship docks there, all cargoes going into Biafra would be transferred to the badges and sailed up the river Niger to Onitsha. Or We can also negotiate with Nigeria to use the Enugu-port Harcourt rail to transport containers and pay Nigerian customs. Either way, we would be fine.

11. Capital flight to Lagos and Abuja Igbos who are quick to build their mansions and businesses in Lagos, Abuja, port Harcourt etc would be forced to come home as they automatically lose the right to live freely in Nigeria. Those returning igbos and their money would help us start building or country from day one


12. I will come with more points but however, I'm not saying it would be a walk in the park. I'm just saying it is still better than Nigeria 1000%. But Building an enclaved biafra that makes sense would take a higher sense of responsibility and imagination than our current leaders are exhibiting, but it can be done[/s]

How do you expect Igbos to go without Obigbo people in Rivers and Anioma people in Delta

Yorubaaa...leave us alone. We will decide for ourselves and will take with us all our blood in your useless south south. Look at people in Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers, Igodomigodo, Ikwerre, do they look like Yorubas or Hausas to you? They don't. They all resemble Igbo. We look different from Yorubas and Hausas. STAY ON YOUR OWN, LEAVE US ALONE, WE ARE NO THE SAME TYPE OF HUMAN BEINGS AND OUR BRAINS FUNCTION DIFFERENTLY!

OP, if you like yourself, better not take this your suggestion to His Excellency, the 'Dilector', Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, before he drives you away with koboko, or worse, orders his thugs to give you the beating of your life.

Dem no born you well?

You want to spoil the man's market, abi dem swear for you?

oH OH OH. So you think all this their IPOB fight is so that they can sit with you in Aba and Owerri forming saint in a new country?

Wakey wakey!!!!!!!

Bro, Kanu's entire rationale for the ''struggle'' is about gaining control of the NIGER DELTA OIL FIELDS.

He was interviewed and said so himself!

He said in prison he was offered 5 Igbo states as Biafra, and he refused, saying he wanted the Niger Delta as well.

OP, do you think his view has CHANGED on this?

If only your Biafran freedom fighters would simply tell you Igbos the truth, which is that their campaign is just a clumsy oil grab attempt masquerading as a ''fight for freedom''.

[s]Don’t speak like someone who is demented or crazy.

You’re mentioning Niger Delta and oil fields as though you even know anything about these terms.

Don’t you know that Abia and Imo states are Niger Delta States? And by virtue of being Niger Delta States, they’re also “South-South” as your divide and rule masters call it. Let me emphasize to you that another term for “Niger Delta” is “South-South”. So if Abia and Imo states are also “South South” states, why don’t your leaders tell you as well? Na the divide and rule mentality be that.

By the way, I hope you know that Abia and Imo states are oil producing states? If Nigeria has been surviving with only 9 states out of 36 states producing oil, what do you think if there are only 2 out of 5 Biafran states producing oil? You think Biafra will not survive?

So far, what’s the developmental index of these 9 oil producing states compared to Kaduna and some other states in the northern parts of Nigeria that doesn’t produce oil?

Finally, Akwa Ibom being the largest oil producing state in Nigeria is nowhere close to Lagos in terms of development, infrastructures or internally generated revenues even though Lagos is said to have discovered crude oil in 2016.

You see? No be by oil o.

The age of Methuselah has no significance with the wisdom of Solomon.

You get the point now?

That is just it.[/s]

Kinematics:



There are several definitions of the word Niger Delta depending on the context its been used.
Niger Delta as in SS Nigeria
Niger Delta as in geographical delta of the River Niger
Niger Delta as in oil producing states

Depending on the context you'll know which they are referring to. Have you seen anywhere south south people add any state that's not South South state when talking about Niger Delta?
Ibo man use your head oo and keep your palm oil producing Imo and Abia States to your SE neither are we referring to Ondo State. When South Southerners are talking about Niger Delta we don't mean oil producing states rather our geopolitical zone.

But there are even more millions of Igbos in the north and Lagos.

Why are you not claiming those places as Biafra?

A sovereign state of biafra with just the 5 states of SE is better than nothing.
I will leave you with this picture below. If you don't understand what it means vis-a-vis Biafra, then you don't have the cunning or intelligence to talk about biafra

Land grabbing goons. Who wan form country with ibos? People that won't waste time to soil the name of the country with both local and international crime. Sorry don't I want to form a country with people that will keep embarrassing me internationally.
How come almost 90% of crime committed by a Nigerians abroad is an Ibo man?

You see the highlighted word "MUST". Says a lot about the ibo man...
