Nigeria is just postponing the inevitable dooms day.. Everything is well properly documented.. If some delicate and sensitive issues which are yet to be addressed are not talked today, it might be very disastrous if it's being tackled by another person at a time Nigeria never expected it to come... Igbos would have been swallowed if they are minority tribe, just like some minority tribes have been swallowed in the middle belt toady, but fortunately and unfortunately to some people, we are the second largest ethnic group in Nigeria after hausas according to CIA data released in 2018, this is why some sensitive issues will never be swept under the carpet and must come up again because we have the members that spread across the globe.. Who would have imagined that Biafran agitation would rise up again after the civil war ? IF BIAFRAN ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED PROPERLY, THE POSTPONEMENT OF DOOMS WONT STOP THE INEVITABLE 7 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis:Igbos were also killing Northerners in the East. Ojukwu had no sane reason to declare Biafra, and even if he wants to leave, he should have left with Igbo land alone but he lumped Ijaws, Ikwerres, Efiks, Ogonis and other minority groups into his so called Biafra. Gowon split the Eastern Region into 3, Ojuku should have left with the East Central State alone, and maybe there might have been no war. 7 Likes 1 Share |

KwuoteYourFada:He declared a war when he declared Biafra and left with Non-Igbo land. He should have left with the East Central State alone. Adaka Boro didn't declare war on Nigeria, he left with Ijaw Land in present day Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom, it didn't stop the then head of state, Johnson Thomas Umunakwe Aguyi Ironsi and Odumegwu Ojukwu from attacking Boro and His Men. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Parachoko:Aguyi ironsi maybe you don't know is amongst the people Igbos hate the most . Aguyi is pro Nigerian he was very patriotic Nigerian he wanted to keep the country one he even declared unitary system Ojukwu did what he supposed to do and declare Biafra and keep your people safe from the massacres in the north He even called a meeting for it where he met all the leaders of the old eastern region they delegated and an ijaw man proposed the name Biafra Adaka Boro was still grieving his detention and was decieved into turning his people against Biafra. Using his knowledge of the creek he was an unstoppable force Benjamin Adekunle wasn't happy about his success all the time he was being praised for his success he was shortly killed and Adekunle promoted . I always wonder what Adaka Boro was thinking? Yorubas and Hausas will give ijaws resource control? what was going through his mind? Adaka Boro was a fool and the fact that ijaws still don't have control over Thier oil till today is an evidence of his stupidity Ojukwu was given a presidential burial He was slaughtered like chicken |

KwuoteYourFada:The regions became weak after Aguyi Ironsi Unification , which is also known as Decree 34. Decree 34 Abolished the Federal System of Government we were practicing back then. When The Mid West was created, t was as powerful as the other 3 Regions. Minorities in the Northern Region, Eastern and Western Region want new regions to be created from this 3 Regions. Instead of creating 3 new Regions from each region, just one was created for the Minorities from the Western Region while None was created in the Northern and Eastern Region. But you will agree with me, the Midwest Region was as Powerful as the other Regions because there was not Decree 34. So stop giving me the false narrative of Gowon weakening the States because he created new states for Minorities in the North and East. Without Aguyi Ironsi Unification Decree, the States that was created would have been powerful, but the Unitary system of Government Aguyi Ironsi enacted killed the States before the arrival of Gowon. 6 Likes |

Have you ever seen any Tinubu supporter with functional brains? From Nairaland you can deduce that the educational standard in Nigeria, most especially the region of fallen demons is abysmally pathetic. That is how they churn out Oluwole graduates that think foolishly like Olanikpekun. mrvitalis: |

paramakina202:The Minorities in the Northern Region, Western Region and Eastern Region were asking for their own states. And don't forget, The minorities were asking for their own state in the 3 Regions before Nigeria became an Independent Country. After Nigeria became an Independent Country, The Minorities were still clamoring for new States to be created in the 3 Regions. Instead of creating new states in the 3 Regions, just one new state was created in the Western Region. Nigeria was operating a Unitary System under Gowon, so he had the Power to create new states and Minorities in the Northern and Eastern Region were grateful to him. And you will agree with me he was fair the way he split the Eastern Region. Nobody in the Old Rivers and Cross River State protested or complained about the New States. Ojukwu was not happy because the Minorities in the East had their own states, instead of leaving with Igbo land alone, he also wanted to take other ethnic groups land along, which was rejected. If Nigeria split, everybody will go their different ways. It makes no sense leaving Nigeria and been part of another Mini Nigeria. 6 Likes |

Look at the examples you sight to cement your foolishness. But you forgot YUGOSLAVIA USSR SINGÀPORE AND MALAYSIA Even SCOTLAND will CONDUCT Another REFERENDUM soon. You are just picking useless narratives to support your shallow thinking. It's pertinent to note that those that want to separate know they can survive alone. Those that are against separation are the leeches..parasites.. dependants and redundant failures, who exist by being lazy and indolent kriminals..spits Parachoko: |

AfonjaEmir:Another issue I have with you Pandora Orchins is how dumb you people are. Malaysia expelled Singapore the way Nigeria will soon expell the 5 South Eastern State from the Nigerian Federation. Yugoslavia fell Apart USSR also collapsed. Una want Nigeria to divide, but few weeks ago, una dey shout say una be Obidunze, just because Pandora lost a free and fair election, una don remember una second option. The igbos in the South East have not shown they really want Biafla. There's no way they will want Biafla and keep on voting Pandora, LP, PDP and APC Massively. Nigeria will eventually Expel the 5 South Eastern State from the Federation though just the way Malaysia Expelled Singapore. Now, go and make your research about what happened after some Southern States decided to secede from the USA in 1860. 6 Likes |

paramakina202:Gowon was not wrong, he had the power to split any of the Region. Nigeria was operating a Unitary System of Government under him, so he had the Power to do what he did. There's a process to be taken if any part of a State wants to leave the State. The people that feel they are igbos in Rivers can go through the process. I doubt it will even take up to a year before the areas will be cut from Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River and ceded to Imo, Abia, Anambra and Ebonyi State. And I have no issue with such an adjustment. And by the way, the Minorities were not consulted by the British before they were lumped into the Eastern, Western and Northern Region. 7 Likes 1 Share |

The rest of the Nonsense doesn't need a response, because you are so dumb to know that an 'action begets a reaction', and it's the actions that gave rise to the dissolution of all those countries. You be big mumu..I swear down. As regards people in the SE and their mindset...WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF A VOTING REFERENDUM? That is the issue.
