When will the Igbo's start knowing that they are the architect of their own woes. Getting Biafra does it change them from their fraudulent ways ? Does that shows they will develop themselves more than USA? The problem this people are facing is not brought upon them by being a Nigerian but by themselves. A house that is divided against itself will surely collapse.
The fraud in them will never make them be of better off than Togo.
Nnamdi KANU is not a leader is just an Attention seeker. Bet it with me . after gaining freedom/ actualising the Biafra country, A war will broke out in the so called Biafra country that will be worst than Civil war. This war will happen within their household. They will beg to return back to Nigeria but it won't work again.
So , my brothers from another region, please note that what you are passing through now in Nigeria is not from Buhari but from your leaders and former head of states starting from OBJ down to Jonathan (ur kinsmen) who can't liberate you.

You are making negative predictions about Biafra. Thats your opinion, there are others who predict that Biafra will be a great country anchored on justice and equity.

The fact is that until Biafra comes, nobody can say what will be and what will not be. Thats why it has to be given a try, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Nigeria has already been ventured and it turned out to be a hopeless disaster.

So Biafra should be ventured so we see what will happen.

I have great faith in my fellow Igbos, I believe they will make Biafra great

aboto77:
What if this huge crowd Nnamdi Kanu is mobilizing match straight to government house to demand good governance? What if they match straight to police/army barracks to demand a stop to extortion of money from drivers? What if the crowd are protesting arrest and prosecution of corrupt politicians who have squandered our commonwealth?

Why do we have so much strength yet decided to channel it wrongly? Why did we decide to wrongly apply our strength? So we will carry flags, uniforms and buses to gather in a city where the roads are not motorable? And we will all smile and shout #biafra right? I think we are not getting it right. I think.

Lets gather to demand something reasonable and you will have my support. Lets demand that our leaders be transparent. Lets demand something that will begin the transformation of our cities/states and not what will make one individual appear "supreme".

By the way, did Nnamdi Kanu arrive Aba with helicopter? Because, the last time I checked,there is no good road around there, no, not even one!

I am for #onenigeria. Nigeria can work!

It is because you are for Nigeria that you are asking these useless questions. You think Nnamdi Kanu started IPOB, spent 18 months in jail to help you make Nigeria a better place?

Go and start your own "better Nigeria" movement and march to to government house or Army barrak to make demands.

IPOB is an independence movement.

Nnamdi carry go!

Anyi kwu gi n'azu!

Yyeske:
Most people were scared to go out because of the experience last year and greatly relieved that the president has said something about it.
Juo ese.
You don't stay in the SE or Onitsha so you won't understand

This nonsense is what you people came up with to explain the resounding success of the sit at home protest?

So the entire Igbo nation all stayed at home out of fear of IPOB? Really? IPOB intimidated everyone across the entire East and drove fear into them to stay home from Abakiliki to Enugu to Owerri to Awka to Nnewi etc?

Laughable.

Let me tell you something about Igbos, they are not a tribe that are easily intimidated by anyone. It is actually an insult to the Igbo nation to even suggest that any group scared them to stay at home, an unarmed group for that matter.

So take this stupid explaination that IPOB scared the great Igbo nation and throw it away just because you people cant admit that Biafra is in the hearts of the people.

Yyeske:
Igbos are comfortable in Nigeria but IPOB miscreants want their phantom Biafra

If that were true, the 30th of May sit at home ordered by IPOB would have been faliure

Until Igbos have their own country, they have to use some form of internationally recognised form of identification to to get about.

However, using Nigerian identification does not mean that Igbos are for ONE NIGERIA

Throwback:
Maybe the German journalist is an Afonja journalist on Lagos-Ibadan expressway?

With time, the hunchback will be ridiculed by his own recorded words.

He may be ridiculed but what matter far more to me and many of our people is becoming independent. What did or said akong the way to our journey to freedom means far less

MasterKim:
This is the first time i'm hearing him speak and tbh, it's so poor. While watching this video, I stumbled on some other videos also; where he was interviewed by a Channels TV journalist, another one where he was interviewed by a German journalist and where his wife was speaking also.

My view about him: I've always respected him with the fact that he's fighting for justice towards his kinsmen but seriously speaking, Nnamdi kanu is just a not-so-wise guy, filled with hate, pride and doesn't even have a sense of good reasoning. He does not even have a blue print on how he will lead the Biafran nation to success, just fantasies - we will build Ports, we will be the best country, we will dominate Africa, we will build everything, just fantasies.

Forgetting his statement that the Yorubas as his arch enemy and even swearing with his life if he has anything to do with anything Yoruba And that he's not even oratory, just a guy just spewing hatred to a herd of sheeps, this are the few points I deduced from those 3 interviews;

1. he said, South east and South South states are part of the Biafra he's agitating for and the journalist countered him with Wike's earlier comment, He said Wike speaks for himself and that he's not speaking for river state but HE, NK is speaking for the masses. How funny.

2. When the German guy asked him if calling Nigerians animals and primitive human beings wasn't too harsh( taking that he's fighting for justice), he said that was the nicest thing he could utter and that he could say nastier things but he was being nice in calling us animals and primitive set of people; WHAT CAN WE SAY OF A MAN THAT SPEAKS THIS WAY?

3. Again, the German journalist asked why he solicited for funds and wrote to America requesting for arms and munitions, he said he's practising self defence(in a country with laws and order). After achieving Biafra, will his citizens still retain this ammunitions or will he start going house to house to collect it back. WHAT I SEE TO THIS IS THAT HE'S PROMOTING TERRORISM!

4. His wife in another interview was saying that the SE was the region feeding the North and the West. and that his husband is back in Nigeria to liberate the east.

I just wondered what type of man he really his and what he really want even if Biafra is achieved.

his followers will say Yoruba are always poke-nosing into their affairs but they won't keep mentioning Yoruba in any of their posts. If their roads are not in good conditions, Yoruba senators will be their targets. Yorubas are slaves in the nation yet they re the ones holding them back from achieving Biafra.
They won't attack their governors or senators, how tinubu plundered Lagos state and made it better than their whole region combined is what they will masturbate on.
If ambode use #1000 to buy food, they will be the first region to cry yet they won't even talk about their leaders.

Very useless post. Nnamdi Kanu is saying he wantrs the freedom of himself and his people, what is hard to u derstand there? Focus on the message and not the messenger

murphyibiam15:
referendum of only 5 SE states?

The fact that they are agreeing with referendum for Igbos is far more important than if it is for Igbos in the FO states or the ZK states

valkaka:
Where is Biafra going?

Biafra is heading nowhere! This is very clear.

Their agitations are valid and they have the right to do so.
However, they seem to stand for nothing. Take a look at Nnamdi Kanu. What is his ideology? What does he represent as a person?
Unfortunately, he has shown that he is not a man of integrity. It is obvious he talks from both sides of the mouth. A few years ago, he was for the Unity of Nigeria. All of a sudden, he has switched side.
Funny enough, he wasn't arrested for his agitations. He was arrested for committing a crime!
Secession is a serious issue, yet when you listen to any of Nnamdi Kanu's speeches, it is so shallow. Rather it is laden with empty threats garnished with short -sighted visions and blabberings.

At this rate, Biafran agitators cannot actualize anything.

Even Ojukwu once believed in Nigeria before he changed his mind to Biafra. People are allowed to change their mind, so even if Kanu was once for Nigerian unity, he is entitled to change his mind especially if he had valid reasons for doing so.

I dont know what is difficult about understand about what Kanu is doing?

Kanu is arguing that his people should be a separate independent country. What is hard to understand about independence, self determination, sovereignty and freedom?

Hollysaint:
why cant our governors develope this port?

Because such an expensive project only makes sense if Igbo land is an independent country

Which Governor will commit billions to a project that has alternatives such as Lagos port and Portharcourt wharf?

Igbo land isnt landlocked, only ignorant people think it is.

People just look at 5 Igbo states without coastline and jump to the conclusion that Igbos are landlocked.

What these people dont know is that Igbo land is much larger than the 5 states ascribed to them even if some argue that Ikwerres are not Igbos (Governor Chibuike Amaechi recently said in an interview that nobody should deny him his Igbo heritage)

Another thing people dont see when the look at the Nigerian map are the Rivers and water ways.

It may surprise a lot of people to know that Anambra, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi all have access to the Ocean

There is right of self determination which means that any group of people can decide not to belong to a union or country. In other words, a people can 'withdraw' from membership of country.


What the problem has always been is the "method of withdrawing"

Im an Anambra man I am following Biancas advice and starting boycott in my home state.

As a Biafran supporter from the nextdoor state of Anambra, I have an interest in Delta state due to the Igbo elements indigenous to the state.

In terms of Urhobos, Itsekiris, Ijaws,Isoko and other tribes who are indigenous to Delta state, I think that every tribe had better start making long term plans because this so called Delta state will one day cease to exist.

It doesnt matter which happens first, restructuring or secession, Delta state will be gone in the future.

In the case of restructuring, Anioma is leaving with its Igbo kith and kin into the Igbo Region

In the case of secession, I have no doubt that Anioma will vote massively in a referendum to leave with Biafra

So some people can make noise all they want but all the tribes in Delta state had better start preparing for the future because the Igbo nation will be taking Anioma with them one way or the other.

They wanted Okoroawusa, they got Okoroawusa

One good tbing is that Kanu git the Northern youths to support his referendum. That means Kanu's strategy is working

andrejoe:
Nnamdi Kanu should understand that majority of Igbos are never in support of BIAFRA. The President have said that majority of Nigerians wants to be together. And mind you namdi's agitation is causing setbacks in areas of security n economy.

If I have to describe this young man, I see him as not wise enough to lead me. His agitation came in at the wrong time , he would have started his agitation even before President Good Luck lost the 2015 elections, and I watched a video online were him (Nnamdi kanu) was in the street of London clamouring for Nigeria's unity b4 2015 elections, that Nigeria must remain one. So tell me is it not political for him to come up today to request for Nigeria's breakup?

If majority if Igbos dont support Biafra, why are people afraid of giving Igbos a referendum?

On the 30th of May, did Igbos comply with the sit at home order?

Nnamdi Kanu never clamoured for the unity of Nigeria on the streets of London, he protested against herdsmen attacks and warned that if something is not done to stop it, the unity of Nigeria would end. Herdsmen attacks have not stopped and Kanu is out to end the unity of Nigeria.

It dies not matter when a people decide to seek freedom, what matters is if they have decided to be free.

Nigeria should give Igbos a referendum let them decide their destiny

If you are Igbo and you think the North is safe for you after reading the above, you are on your own

Josephjnr:
The agitation for Biafra is almost as old as Nigeria herself. Few years(7years) after independent, started asking for their own nation(Biafra). Many have died and still dying for it.I tried to actually see what importance, change or improvement this succession will bring to Biafrans,I actually see none. I wonder,is this succession really worth dying for? Will it give us or igbos better life without suffering? Will igbos have uncorruptible leaders? Are/were igbos really marginalised even just 7years of independence? Will Biafra really be the land of rising sun? I know,it might be because I am not part of them and don't know their likely gain and present pain. So I ask you(Igbo) reading this as a person,What are the major problems actualization of Biafra can solve in your life(as person) and the life of igbos at large and what growth will it bring?

The word is "secession" not "succession".

Ask your self this, why did Zik, Awo and other agitate for independence even though Nigeria was part of the great British Empire?

Why did Scotland agitate for independence and get a referendum in 2014 even though they are part of Britain, the 5th richest nation on Earth?

Why did Britain leave the EU last year even though the EU is the richest single market in the world?

The answer is simple, it is called self determination. There is nothing like being in control of your land, resources and destiny.

Igbos are a tribe of over 45 million people yet the destiny of Igbos is controlled in Abuja. Why?

Gambia is just 2 million people, not even the population of Onitsha.

So why shouldnt Igbos be independent and control their land?

ENGANI:
I have a dream!!!!!! Nnamdi Kanu will soon go back to his den in Kuje Prison.

Wha does it matter? Igbos have been in a prison called Nigeria since 1914

Even from the picture, I can see that the man is someone who was captured alive and tortured to death.

He could be anybody. There is nothing to congratulate the Nigerian Army about in this picture

tydi:
nwanne nwoke! that is the reason i say let us clamour for otu Nigeria! lets join forch as youths ND agitate for restructuring than agitating for succesion..

becus i see no brighter future with nnamdi kanu.

And if the North say no to restructuring just like they have done since Aburi 50 years ago, what will you clamour for next?

lofty900:
it is now i know that Ipob does not mean well for the igbo people. U want ur people to come back empty handed and stranded like refugees and beggars in their fathers land. It will nt be well with nnamdi kanu

Better the come back empty handed but alive than to remain in the North waiting fir the next wave of massacre to happen

When Igbos are slaughtered in the North, do Arewa youth come out to condemn it?

When Boko haram and herdsmen kill people all over the place, do Arewa youths come out to condemn it?

Nnamdi Kanu says he wants Biafra, Arewa youths rush to Arewa house, make a declaration, issue quit notice, label IPOB that has never touched anyone as a terrorist organisation, call for Kanu's head, demand that IPOB members be arrested.

The Arewa youth never bother to make any declaration against Boko haram or Herdsmen but it is IPOB that is enemy number one for them.

The hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens.

The truth is that the self appointed "owners of Nigeria" do not want their power questioned. They want all of us to remain subservient to them.

The ones who have accepted their slave status are begging for "restructuring" while the fearless ones like Nnamdi Kanu, FFK and Asari Dokubo are asking for something better than restructuring, outright independence.

“The Biafran agitation is only the past-time of a tiny but vocal minority.”

Then why are your people kicking and screaming, issuing quit notice, threatening fire and brimestone over a 'tiny minority'?

Wether Shettima likes it or not, the Igbo nation and the minorities who are at home with Igbos are marching towards independence and there is nothing anyone can do about it because when a people decide they want freedom, they shall eventually be free

That was back in the day when Adesina had not yet recieved "juicy appointment". Now, he would never repeat this statement in the face of the Biafran agitation.

People can shout all they like that "Ojukwu caused the war" but history is there to prove otherwise. Gowon caused the war by not living up to the agreement he signed at Aburi.

Aburi serves as a stark reminder to all those who shout "restructuring" that the North will never allow restructuring to happen. Anyone who thinks that the North will give up a position they have enjoyed for 50 years needs to have their head examined.

As a proud Igbo man and Biafran supporter, I thank the Nothern youth on two counts.

I thank them for the quit notice because for a long time, Igbos living in the North have needed a reminder that there is no such thing as "one Nigeria"


I also want to send another thanks because this quit notice will reverse this trend of our people in investing in the North niw that they know that an eviction notice can be served on them any time.

If the IPOB agitation can make Northern youths support referendum then it means the Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB are on the right track. We need more people to join the call for Igbos to have a referendum.

Good advice Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, as an Anambra man, Im calling for total boycott of elections because the freedom of us Igbos from the circle of evil called Nigeria is far more important to me than who is the Governor of Anambra

victorvezx:
And Nigeria has the right to defend its territorial integrity by any means necessary. Why not tell Kanu to debate Joe igbokwe first, his fellow Igbo. It would only make sense if he debated with his fellow igbos who oppose Biafra first, then he can take on Buhari or Hausa Fulani people later. Why is Kanu afraid of debating with him even when Joe igbokwe answered the call of Kanu for a debate?

The intergrity of Nigeria is decided by the indigenous people who who populate Nigeria. If those people or some of those people decide that they do not want their ancestral lands to be part of Nigeria any more then Nigeria has no territorial intergrity any more. The people owned the land long before there was anything called Nigeria.

As for debating Kanu, I think Kanu needs to debate a non Igbo. Kanu has already proved his support amongst his fellow Igbos through the massive crowed that comes to his rallies as well as the sit at home order that was massively complied with. Kanu does not need to debate a fellow Igbo like Joe Igbokwe. Joe Igbokwe should first go to Igbo land and hold "one Nigeria" rallies lets see the numbers that come out for him before he can debate Kanu.

Yyeske:
Kanu's belief and ideology is not that of the majority of Igbos, he's just gallivanting in the new status you placed him.
If truly that Ndigbo believe in his silly ideology, why are we not seeing millions coming back to the SE?
Remember they were chased out in 1967.
I don't pray for a repeat episode anyway.

You people keep regurgitating tbis nonsense that if Igbos werw serious about Biafra, they would be streaming back home. Ehen Ojukwu told his people to return home in 1967 and Igbos streamed back home, what did you Nigerians do? Did you let Igbos have Biafra? You Nigerian fought to bring Igbos back into Biafra.

Igbos know that going home is what will make Nigeria grant them Biafra so going back home has nothing to do with anything.

If you leave this "Lagos brought up", he wont know how to get to his village in Anambra, that is if he even remembers the name of his village.
