sirp9898:

drlateef:



Argue with your brother who wrote the piece. I didn’t write it. And I will be the happiest person if Biafra is given to IPOB. Because Nigerian passports will have respect again and Nigerian citizens will not be embarrassed in foreign lands. The world will then know which country has the largest number of fraudsters and drug barons.

You don't trust Igbo with your useless power which never help anyone,yet you still want to share thesame country with them. Isn't that an act of cowardness

In a Business community, trust is the key. you don't do business with someone you don't trust..... Since you don't trust Igbo with your power ,why forcing them to remain in Nigeria as against their very will, If you ain't coward.

IGBO want their seperate country to enable the above mention tribes, Edo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani and others that doesn't trust Igbo to live in peace and harmony in Nigeria.

The Actualization of sovereign state of Biafra is a task that must be accomplished..

The Igbo will do better to first agree that The Chameleon called Nnamdi Azikiwe put them in the mess they are and thereafter talk about wanting out. The same Nnamdi Azikiwe tricked Ojukwu and fled Biafra. Ojukwu himself ran like the coward he was. The Igbo won’t tell themselves the truth on these matters choosing instead to beat their chests telling lies about the Saudarna and Awolowo. Until The Igbo come clean on this matter they will remain as they are in Nigeria. Imagine Baba Nwadialo leaning on Atiku for support after he helped draft the constitution that entrenched Unitary government because it suited Ironsi and by extension the Igbo fine. I could continue…. Peter Obi is wasting his time. No one can be President in Nigeria without Northern votes and he is not getting that until The Igbo learn humility and tell the true story! The marginalisation is the fruit of the seed they sowed. No one trusts them again on political matters.

gidgiddy:



Try to use you brain. Awolowo and Sauduana wanted seperation but Zik wanted one Nigeria,? So how did Zik, one man, manage to overrule Sarduana and Awolowo, two men? What magic did Zik use to overturn the majority?

Ojukwu ran away? At least Ojukwu fought like a man for 3 years before running away. You people have never fought for even 3 minutes

Dont worry about Peter Obi and Presidency, who Nigerian Presidency help?

zoedew:

Typical for you to be insult others m. Makes no meaning. You don’t appear to get my point Sir. My point is that how come the Igbo now call Nigeria a zoo and wanting out when the opposite was Igbo position as stated by Azikiwe. The Igbo owe other parts of Nigeria an explanation so we can trust you again. It is unwise to set out to fight a war only to flee leaving your followers to themselves dying and suffering. What am saying is that Ojukwu was not a leader worth calling one. Leaders lead from the front and not the rear! You may, as usual, abuse me. It does not change the fact of history bad recorded by the Hansard .

gidgiddy:


So because Zik wanted one Nigeria 70 years ago, all Igbos are bound to want it forever? So in this life, what you wanted yesterday, you must tomorrow and forever? Nobody has a right to change their mind? What sort of reasoning is that?

If leaders lead from the front, Buhari would have been in Sambisa

You can't satisfy an Igbo,even if you sell yourself to feed him.

They must be stuck in the same trap they set for eternity.

I have a little Igbo blood in me,but I don't care.

I am never Igbo,and I won't be. Their dot blood in me was mistake of my granny.

70 years ago SE, Cross River, Rivers State, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa were all one Region under an Igbo Premier

Nothing can return them to that Status again they have tasted freedom

Legendary123:
na wa o. why concoct history. Below is the reason why the Igbos were envied. It was just because of the huge success of people in the old eastern region

The Eastern Region was an administrative region in Nigeria, dating back originally from the division of the colony Southern Nigeria in
1954. The gap between the eastern region and other parts of Nigeria was too
much. It led to resentment and envy Look at these facts.

1. Between 1954 and 1964, Eastern Nigeria was described as the fastest growing economy in the world by Harvard reviews. Faster than China, Singapore and the "Asian Tigers".
2. The Eastern govt was the only government in the world that invested 45% of its revenues in Education.
3. The Eastern Region had the biggest Electricity Supply. Best Hospitals And The Igbos made up 60% Of Nigerian Civil Service due to outstanding merited qualifications.
4. The Eastern Nigeria had the highest Number of Registered Cars in Nigeria as at 1963 by a large margin.
5. The Number of Registered Business in Nigeria as at 1963 was as follows.
East~ 68,220
West ~ 5776
North~ 2407.
6. All the progress the Eastern Nigeria made was destroyed during the Civil War and we're still recovering from it.

what is the benefits of the ao called freedom?

Jobs?
Constant electricity?
Clean water?
Security?
Offcourse all are absent under the present arrangement

zoedew:

You get my point Sir. In one voice The Igbo are better are better off telling the truth they once wanted Nigeria but think differently now. The story Igbo tells is that they never wanted Nigeria and were forced in and kept in marginalised. That, certainly, is telling the story wrongly and falsely. its been nice being with you on this matter.

*OBAFEMI AWOLOWO ASKED FOR SECESSION CLAUSE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CONSTITUTION, THE NORTH SUPPORTED THE MOTION, BUT I IGNORANTLY OPPOSED AND THE BRITISH (HYPOCRITICALLY) SUPPORTED MY ARGUMENT*

An Interview granted by Nnamdi Azkiwe in 1975.

*Read and learn..*

"Nnamdi Azikiwe stated that... When the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual.

That was when we began to use that expression – ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ – and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued.

The Secretary of State then was Oliver Littleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level.

So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will. He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded.

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason

We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable.

Also read Why Awolowo did not make West secede

The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? *"The Colonial Office came to our rescue. YOU KNOW THE USUAL PRINCIPLE OF BRITAIN – ‘ *DIVIDED AND RULE'* (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us."

Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86.... ."
