Why is it ONLY the Fulani North that threatens war whenever secession issues come up? Must you kill people agitating for greener pasture? There are several newly named countries today that didn't exist 10 years ago yet no bloodshed. Why such barbarism in this country?

What about the indigenous people of the north who want freedom from the manipulation of the Fulani

Biafra doe not have a definite map..they cam as well follow biafra and go
..simple..Gideon Worker map would be achieved at the end of the day....!!

Haven't you realise why parleying with Jonathan and sending him on errand and there...? All is to help appease Jonathan with fake love to help them keep the south south so that they would remain with them for them to keep plundering...but the fact is if igbo leaves everybody leaves....Everybody is tired with the fulani game and nobody want to be in bed with them any longer...Let the Hausas enoy their stay with them...simple....!!!

The writer of the above junk is a dunce. Biafra is not south-east. This is manner the fools such as the author of above crap misled ill-educated Nigerians. A dumbass fool will readily conclude south-east is Biafra.

Biafra is nof South East, just that the Igbos are in the fore front oc the struggle for its actualization.

The problem is not just about igbos leaving Nigeria.

The problem is, if one region leaves, others will follow suit.

That is why the not is so scared of granting secession to the igbos or any region for that matter.

Coming from the NEF, this is very significant.

And it is most unfortunate!!!

I am all for a united Nigeria. But one based on fairness, justice and unfettered progress for all that is willing.

By the way, I ask: if these people are OK to "let" Igbos go(which would certianly mean the balkanization of the country to at least 4 countries), why not agree and push for true federalism where Igbos(as well as others) can choose their own way/manner of progress
Bro stop deceiving yourself oo...
Igbos have always been their consistent adversaries despite the humiliating defeat of 1970..
Instead, it appears that the North is trying to cut off a gangrenous part in order to save the whole body, which is by cutting off the Igbo, they'd be able to solidify their grip on other parts of Nigeria... Since it is obvious that they can always manipulate the others, unlike the Igbo

igbos, you guys worship your own poop. You can't speak good about yourselves without bringing other people down ? This sums up what the igbos are: antisocial people. You just can't make friends, everybody ends up wanting to beat you up.
This is why the civil war took place. And also why everybody joined in to give you guys a good beating.
You guys and your silly attempts at hegemony are what created the nigeria we have today which is a total aberration.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) says the Igbo should be allowed to secede from Nigeria if that is what the south-east wants.

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) are campaigning for the secession of the south-east from Nigeria.

IPOB was formed in 2012 by Nnamdi Kanu, while MASSOB was founded in 1999 by Ralph Uwazuruike.

Addressing journalists after a closed-door meeting held in Abuja on Monday, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spokesman of the forum, said the agitation by the Igbo for secession has become widespread, adding that the leaders in the state appear to support the decision.

Baba-Ahmed advised that standing in the way of the agitators will only worsen the insecurity in the country.

“This nation has had to fight a terrible war to preserve the country. The north had paid its dues in that war, as indeed it did in many ways throughout the history of the country. Under our current circumstances, no Nigerian should welcome another war to keep the country together,” he said.

“The forum has arrived at the difficult conclusion that if support for secession among the Igbo is as widespread as it is being made to look, and Igbo leadership appears to be in support of it, then the country should be advised not to stand in its way.

“It will not be the best choice for the Igbo or Nigerians to leave a country we have all toiled to build and a country we all have the responsibility to fix, but it will not help a country already burdened with failures on its knees to fight another war to keep the Igbo in Nigeria.”

The forum warned that attacks and killings of northerners, federal government employees, and destruction of national assets must stop, adding that those involved must be arrested and prosecuted.

The northern elders also noted that until the Igbo decide whether it wants to secede or remain part of Nigeria, the law applies to it, as the federal and state governments have a responsibility to enforce the law and protect citizens.

They also supported the calls for northerners who are exposed to harassment and violence, to consider relocating to the north.

They, however, advised that all Igbo and other ethnic groups residing in the north should be accorded the usual hospitality and security.

The only brothers you have outside the southeast are migrants just like the igbos in kano. Your "brothers" will migrate back to your igboland (southeast)

What the heck are you talking about, the map clearly shows your biafra as being within present day Cameroon. And it even says it on the page you posted !

Your delusion knows no bounds.
The entire south-south and way more (even southeast) is listed under Benin.

You are a thief. You want to grab indigenous people land . What the Igbo nation will do to you minorities will be out of this world .
Go to Asaba and say this and see what will happen to your head in micro seconds. Go to obigbo and repeat such. Travel to Elele snd egbema and repeat such. Concentrate on your tribe and don't force others in your own republic. Let all man choose where he wants.
Itsekiri and urobo will most likely join Benin.

Akwacross will likely form their own country excluding northern crossriver which will most likely join the Alaigbo republic.

Ogoni for now are undecided but they will most likely join akwacross nation.

What will be left are ikwerre,Kalabari,okrika,ekpeye and ijaw . Where do you think ikwerre and ekpeye will go when all these nations are formed. Face the reality.
