Sir, nothing is tied to my balls, if Nigeria breaks, it is destined to break. You are hopeful and i too that we will resort to other means of survival. Virtually, you may think about North going down in ashes but it may not even seem so. But i am still maintaining to you that Biafra is only the 5 South Eastern States.

Everyone is tired of the inyamris.. They are everywhere in this country but yet they are the ones calling for the division of this country.. They forgot that their entire region is less than half of Borno State.

pansophist:


Why you believe the worse ?

And why don't you think that all these (your fears) will be negotiated before our union commences ?

musicwriter:


Now I know why the position the North has on Biafra.

Listen to me brother/sister...

Secession doesn't mean that Igbos would not continue to live in Northern Nigeria or other parts of Nigeria. Of course, we'll continue to live in the North just as peaceful Fulanis and Hausas would continue to live in Onitsha, Owerri, Aba, etc. But we'll be living in two different countries.

Go and spread this to your people.

michaelpop50:


Forget story, I know una personality and ways

Timmi:


The question you people should address is “who is holding the IGBOS from leaving Nigeria”. No one stands on their way of leaving except themselves. Henceforth they should all be moving to their southeastern states from wherever they are now. Nigerians will roll a red carpet for them to leave so we can finally not be identified with corrupted people and be accepted as honest hardworking Nigerians.

They’ve done enough to soil our image at the international community.

They just need to know that they can’t force the South South people into their Biafran union.

Lionofthedesert:
.

Why are you not holding your leaders responsible ? they just concluded that they have no desire to secede......

its pathetic how you hinge your freedom to the NORTH, are you that helpless?

360degreess:
.. While I was growing up I used to think that those people are among the smartest tribe we have in this country, but they have disproved me beyond reasonable doubt.

pansophist:


Go sleep. You no get better talk for mouth

gentiles:

North is the food basket of the nation. Can you tell us the contribution of Oyo, Osun and Ekiti state to the Federal Republic of Nigeria? Skull mining? Yahoo-yahoo? Cowardice?

JayB11:


Uneducated bunk, do more research, dwell more on the interest of South South on Biafra.....come back and tell me if any of the oil producing states will follow Igbos.

Bovis:

I totally agree with this proposal. The Igbo people have no economic leverage on Nigeria therefore, should be allowed to secede peacefully

Iceman2017:

We can wait for such day. Give Biafra 5 years, your type will be looking for Biafran visa

Yusufisraelj:


This is one foolish statements too many. Who in the first place kicked against a referendum and succession in the Nigerian constitution?

Go and find out, and you'll be shocked, the successionist "Igbos" who are clamoring for the division of the Nigerian state are not students of history and cannot see that, they plotted the graph of what's happening to them in the today's Nigeria.

MakotoShishio:
If they leave, will you also allow Ijaws, Yorubas, Tiv etc to leave?

'The fathers were the ones who ate the sour grapes, but the children’s teeth were set on edge';
Exodus 20:5, Numbers 14:18, Exodus 34:6-7, and Deuteronomy 5:9.

The only reason leaders of the Igbo race scuttled the attempt made by leaders of Western and Northern Nigeria in having secession clause, in the 1954 constitution,
was pure greed and the realization of the fact, back then, that the Igbo race will be nothing more than leeches without the Nigerian federation.

Except below, is the reason given as justification, by Dr. Azikwe, for his opposition to the secession clause during the 1954 constitutional conference.

Fortunately, he and his cohorts back then, witnessed the effect of their short sightedness and greed before joining their fathers.
Their opposition to secession back then, led to the Civil war and the heavy casualties suffered by the Igbo race. It is also responsible for the current 'premium tears' and clamoring for a Biafran state by the Igbo ethnic Nationality.

Karma is indeed, a Bitch.

How did Zik stop Awolowo and Balewa from inserting secession clause in the constitution?
He pointed gun at their heads or he used Otumokpor to make them to accept NO Secession clause?

I find this claim of Zik stopping NIGERIA from having Secession clause in the constitution ridiculous.
Not only because it assigns supernatural powers to Zik, but because it is really funny and laughable and reeks of desperation.

Gambit23:


Once u sign up for the UN charter, U have automatically signed that a referendum is allowed in ur country.

Try n study/understand international law

Then give us an answer!

Omodua:
Benue is the food basket of the nation which is in middlebelt. Not far North.
The States you mentioned have huge mineral deposits which can't be found in the North. Compare those States with arid zones of Sokoto, Kebbi,Zamfara, Jigawa, Katsina etc which you belong. We can't coexist because of obvious inherent contradictions. You're a bore and parasitic!

Igboid:


I'm not the one who says Zik removed Secession clause or stopped it from being added.
It's usually Unity begging Yoruba Muslims and Northerners that do.
The onus is on them to tell us how Zik made Awolowo and Balewa to accept no insertion of seccession clause.

And I'm waiting to hear their answer.

Open the attached link and read the reason(s) Azikwe gave for his opposition and the reason why Britain supported his stand.
Azikwe never denied the position he took and he defended it till his death.
You can not cry more than the bereaved.

The answer(s) are in the attached link, in Azikwe's own words and he never refuted them before he joined his ancestors.
You do not want to believe some of the 'tales by moonlight stories', told you by your Uncles, while growing up.

Equally I added this.

I'm waiting for the part he used guns or jazz to make Awo and Balewa accept "No seccession clause".

Yusufisraelj:


Lols, who said he used jazz.
