You said it all!


Some people just don't want to recover from there repetitive political blunders which has caused them being marginalised over the years.

3years ago, they thought GEJ was for them only to be shocked at the dying minute that they had lost all and spontaneously diverted there pain to an agitation for secession.

It's a constant that if they continue to play politics of hate and ethno-religion, they still be where they re in 50years time and will still be agitating at same time!

They have failed to rise from there woes and failures!

You people are funny. Lets just assume you are right. Let us say that the agitation for secession is because of GEJ's loss. It is still their right to to go whenever they want and for whatever reason.

In this 13 minute video clip, the leader of the Niger Delta Voluteer Force NDVF, Chief Asari Dokubo talks about Biafra. He said that he has been involved in the drafting of a constitution for Biafra and that Biafra will be a confederation to be known as "United States Of Biafra". He went on to say that the 'confederating units' of Biafra may be decided by referendum.

He said that revenue will be divided 70% to the confederating units and 30% to central Government. He also said that the Government of Biafra will be in charge of defence, foreign affairs, judiciary and other national issues.


He ended by saying that the right of secession via referendum for any of the confederating units will be in the Biafra constitution

Just 5 guys? That shows what support Buhari has amongst Ndigbo.

Wether Ojukwu visited Buhari and wether they had an agreement on the unity of Nigeria is irrelevant.

2003 is almost 15 years ago.


What matters is now, not then.

My 45 million strong Igbo nation is way over due to be a separate independent sovereign nation

The Igbo nation should forget all these people whose only vision for Igbos if for us to remain in Nigeria eternally jostling with Hausas and Yorubas for one political position or the other.

Gambia is just 2 million people but is an independent nation

Benin Republic is 10 million people but is a sovereign nation

Sierral Leone is just 7 million people but is a sovereign nation.

Gambia, Benin and Sierra Leone are out there talking with the world, signing trade and bilateral agreements with different countries even though the population of all three countries is not even half of Igbos.

But the vision of some people is for the Igbos to be in Nigeria begging for restructuring, begging for resource control, begging for Nigerian presidency.


My dear Igbo nation, how can we think so low? Let us aspire to our own independent nation and make it great rather than perpetually remaining in Nigeria measuring D#ck with Hausa and Yorubas.

I am happy that he is not one of these Igbo men who makes money and goes to develop other peoples lands. He went back home and invested heavily

perez100:
Afonja fools! Ojukwu embraced Biafra due to injustice to his people. So, if he is alive today to witness the injustice and lack of equity against Igbo, he will have no option than to follow the 1967 path. But Ojukwu and even IPOB would have nothing to do with Biafra if there was fairness and justice in Nigeria. No nation enjoy peace in the face of injustice and Nigeria is not different from those countries.

What justice and equity means to a Hausa/ Yoruba/ Igbo man is veey different. That why Nigeria is not a nation and never will

To and Igbo man, justice and equity in Nigeria is nothing less than a confederation where Igbos have a very high degree of autonomy, complete resource control and fiscal independence as well as the right to secession.

To the Hausa/Fulani man, justice and equity mean control of the political and structural leadership of Nigeria under a strong center or unitary government. Since the south controls the economy, the North might as well control political power.


To the Yorubas, justice and equity means something close to what Igbos want but without the option of secession and not necessarily a confederation


Nigeria is just not workable

MXrap:
Anambra is a monolithic state in the Southeast. Learn to deal with the bitter truth.

[s][/s]

If you like call it opoklistic state, it is still Igbo land and an Igbo man cannot be imported into Igbo land

I dont know why this keeps happening with APGA. Whenever elections are close, someone will spring out of nowhere, claim to be party chairman and start conducting primaries.

This same Martin Agbaso left APGA for PDP to contest the 2015 Governorship elections in Imo state.

All of a sudden, he is back, leading a faction of APGA.

MXrap:
Anambra is a monolithic state. If you are not an Anambran, you are not an Anambran. It is simple.

[s][/s]

What do you mean by monolithic state? Anambra is just the creation of the military. It is a land populated by Igbos same as Abia and Enugu state etc

So how can Igbos be imported into Igbo land? People are moving from one part if their ancestral land to another and you are saying they are imported. What nonsense! Can a Yoruba man be imported into Ibadan? Can a Nigerian be imported into Nigeria?

Look, take this useless propaganda back to Obiano for the dustbin.

MXrap:
Ipob miscreants were imported from Aba to Ekwulobia to protest. The point we are making is that they are not Anambrans.

Can you be imported into you fathers compound? Aba and Ekwulobia are still in Igbo land and populated by Igbos. So how can Igbos be imported into Igbo land?

Funny when people say that IPOB was imported from other states.

Can Igbos be imported into Igbo land? Wether those who were in Ekwulobia were from Enugu or Abia, it is still Igbos moving around in Igbo land. So what is the problem?

Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi are just creations of the military.

Igbo land is Igbo land and Igbos cannot be imported into Igbo land

Alanzazani:
That Kanu boy knows Baba no send. I just want him to put Kanu where he belongs. Ipobs cannot even accommodate any opinion contrary to thiers. There are millions of igbos like myself that can see through Kanu's stupidity. It is unfortunate some igbos are highly sentimental and have crowd mentality like the Hausa fulanis. We can align with other regions to become strong political allies to our benefit. We can bring restructuring to the front burner.

What I will never accept is an idiot, intelligent by half making pronouncements in my state. Igbos are democratic. We don't even have a monarchy. Every clan chooses it's leaders. Who gave that vagabond called Kanu the authority to speak and make pronouncements for ndi anambra?

Why do you want to align your self with other Regions? Why are you still looking for restructuring in Nigeria?

Kanu is talking about an independent nation for the Igbos to trade and deal with other nations of the world from China to America.

People like you are still talking about licking the a$$ of other Regions so we can get restructuring and political patronage. Your vision as someone who claims to be Igbo is too low and doesnt go beyond Nigeria. kanu's vision is global

MediumStout:
Nnamdi Kanu's fraudulent agitations has led to the deaths of brainwashed igbo youths who should have been alive if not for the useless biafra or death phrase. Kanu will not go scot free. He will die before the end of this year. Biafra will never come

You mean the unarmed people your Nigerian Army shot? We didnt know that one of the duties the Nigerian Army is to go out and shoot unarmed civilians even when there is no war.

maclatunji:
I have seen some adrenaline-intoxicated Igbo youths type this online: 'Biafra or death' and they probably are half-believing it too until death stares them in the face. But hey, it is an issue to be discussed another time.

I was just wondering how the supposed leader and indefatigable mobilizer of the 'Biafran' people, Nnamdi Kanu has not yet renounced his British citizenship. I mean how can you be encouraging people to die for your cause when they do not have the capacity to escape when trouble starts but you can rush to any country without needing a visa?

Your followers would not even have the Atlantic Ocean as an escape route in the land-locked Southeast. It is not even like it has not happened before. If Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu could flee despite his stellar pedigree and education, it is easy to see how Nnamdi Kanu would jump ship after a few brushes with real conflict that he is angling for rather blindly.

Dear Biafran agitators, tell your dear 'leader' to renounce his British citizenship first and hold on to 'Biafra' 100%. At the moment, he is playing you for fools and you are falling like people that aren't thinking.

Only someone with backward mentality will be asking why Kanu has not renounced his British citizenship. Didnt Kanu leave London to come back to Nigeria despite his British citizenship? If Kanu did not want to suffer, he would still be in London.

Kanu's dual nationality does not make any difference, anyone can escape to any neigbouring African country with no passport.

Kanu's commitment to Biafra is what is important not the colour of his passport

ndcide:
Gbam!!!!!

I remember people writing all over nairaland.com, that igbo people should recall their legislators to show they are serious about biafra. Now they want to boycott an election and same people are crying over it.

Many Nigerians keep asking 'why do you keep electing politicians to represent you if you are serious about leaving'

But when Kanu suggests election boycott, they start shouting that it is wrong.

Always shifting the goal post

I love it

Naruto87:
believed me... if buhari wasn't a good man he would have done what obasanjo would do to ipob. besides all these are just political moves and nnamdi is a puppet in this game. you criticise a president that the international groups recognise as a good president, its sad and yet you follow a man that is surely going to lead you to another civil war.
study the origins of the agitation for Biafra, study the federal government allocation formula to the south east States, study economics and lastly study the past records of GMB before you judge.

You are talking nonsense. Buhari is not a good leader. Things have got worse for everyone since he became president. As for Nnamdi Kanu, he is freedom fighter who only wants referendum. It is only Nigeria that is looking for war

Ojukwu did not warn against anything. What he said in the video was that if Nigeria has learnt its lesson from the first Biafra then there is no need for a second Biafra

Unfortunately, Nigeria did not learn anything from the first Biafra and all the things that caused the first Biafra are still with us, marginalisation, restructuring, ethnic cleaning, sectarian violence, religious killings etc

So a second Biafra is almost inevitable.

danduke85:
First Kanu is self-centered, attention-seeking, greedy and highly opinionated. He lacks fundamental qualities of a leader. For instance, while mobilizing for Kanu’s release from detention and other IPOB leaders including Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, and David Nwawuisi, we discovered that our wholesale strategy aimed at securing their simultaneous release from detention at the same time was not feasible.

Hence we changed strategy and focused agitations on Kanu’s release, with the aim that upon his release he will spearhead the release of other comrades in detention at the Kuje Prison. However, since his release, Nnamdi Kanu has hardly done anything to ensure the release of these fellows. He has hardly mentioned their plights not to talk of him initiating concrete action(s) for their release. Rather Kanu has made the Biafra struggle all about himself, his opinions and views.

Kanu cannot do anything to release those boys. Only the courts can give them bail same as courts gave Kanu bail. The court is on holiday. So what can Kanu do but wait untill the next court date?

It is on youtube where we see Kanu visiting the families of Madubugwu and Nwawuisi. Kanu did not forget them

Second, during a strategy meeting with Kanu’s lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor (Barr.), it was agreed that Kanu will abide by all aspects of his bail conditions, which came about after a lot of lobby and interface with relevant stakeholders. Amongst other conditions, Kanu was required not to grant interviews, involve himself in any rallies, and not found in a group exceeding ten (10) persons. In her ruling, Justice Binta Nyako warned that a violation of any aspect of the bail conditions would see Kanu return to prison.

However, Kanu has remained adamant and chauvinistic in his gross attempt to make himself the center of the struggle. He has practically violated vital aspects of the bail conditions, and if the government comes after him today, many well-meaning Igbo sons and daughters will not blink an eye.

If Kanu has broken his bail conditions, it is Kanu that will be returned to jail. So why cry more than the bereaved?

He has toed the path of violence and remained a threat to our collective political fortune.

Im yet to hear of a single act of violence by Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB .

It wouldn’t make sense for us to lose on both ends, especially as the 2019 general elections draw near. Our stand still remains that we work together to ensure that Ndigbo gains her rightful place in the Nigerian project; we have examined it back and forth and come to this conclusion that we may be better for it.

Kanu and IPOB are seeking the independence of Igbos and the minorities that are comfortable with Igbos as the Republic of Biafra. Kanu and IPOB have no interest in Nigeria or the position of Igbos in Nigeria. They are freedom fighters.

Third, Kanu’s audacious call for a boycott of elections in Anambra State is not just appalling but a total demonstration of irresponsibility and a lack of focus. This singular posture has waned Kanu’s popularity amongst the Anambra people, where he commanded a large following until recently. The people of Anambra are ready to resist Kanu’s antics any day. Anambra has remained the shining light of Ndigbo in the past six to seven years, so the people are not ready to throw away their destiny on the basis of such uncertainties which Kanu and his group of agitators represent.

Anyone who is serious about their freedom cannot keep participating in the political process of the country they seek to breakout of. Kanu was right to ask Ndi Anambra to boycott the Anambra elections as a start to the complete withdrawal of of the people from the politics of Nigeria. Election boycott is not illegal. It will be up to the people to comply or not. Im from Anambra and I support election boycott

Fourth, with the launch of the rag-tagged Biafra Security Service (BSS), Kanu has publicly presented himself as a militant leader. This may come with its own consequence(s), as the Nigerian government may be provoked to act in ways that would see Kanu return to Kuje prison.

How can Kanu be a militant leader when he has no weapons? How can bss be a militant group when they carry no guns? Are Boyscouts, Boysbrigade and girlsguide also militant groups? They wear uniforms and salute each other just like bss. Where is the militancy?

The question now is what if Nnamdi Kanu is rearrested? My answer is – Ndigbo would go to sleep. Nnamdi Okwu Kanu is a scammer. He is a criminal mind who is out to take advantage of the same people he claimed to be fighting for. He is not worth the attention he craves for.

If Nnamdi Kanu is a scammer then I dont know what scammer will leave their comfortable London base to come back to Nigeria and spend 18 months in Kuje prison as well as suffer treasonable charges on top of all that. Why would Kanu, son of the king of his village, leave his wife and family, announce he is returning to Nigeria where he is a wanted man, risk his life, all for a scam? Why would a man pledge to give up his life for his beliefs all for a scam?


The truth is that Kanu is fighting for the independence of his people from Nigeria just as Zik and others fought for the independence of Nigeria from Britain, only the method is the difference. Freedom still is the goal

Kanu is a courageous freedom fighter. The only people who hate him are those who still believe in the disasterous and unworkable British colonial entity called Nigeria. If Kanu is returned to Kuje, the agitation for Biafra will continue. The Biafran agitation is much bigger than Kanu.

gberra:
Lol!.. I see fear all over you... IPOB nightmare is back



- Biafra is Burning

Dont make us laugh. What will Buhari do? Lock up Kanu? Shoot unarmed IPOB? He has done all that in the past, it didnt help him.

Buhari is a national embarassment

Fifthcolumnist:
Imagine if Britanhad said in the 1950s when our struggle for Independence started, " the unity of the British empire is non negotiable..."

I weep for APC sha! They've killed us

Exactly my brother. The average Nigerian is a hypocrite. Nigerians understand their right to be independent from Britain, which they celebrate every 1st October. But the same Nigerian is wondering what right Igbos have to ask for the their independence as Biafra. That is bigotry and hypocrisy.

MediumStout:
Federal troops should invade the south east and capturing Nnamdi Kanu should be their priority. That useless yellow monkey is really causing ethnic tensions and his actions are the reasons why different groups are issuing Ultimatums. Buhari should jail kanu again and ensure he doesn't see the sun. Biafra is dead and buried in 1970. Even ojukwu travelled to Daura in 2003 to beg for unity in Buhari's house after realizing the mistakes of 1967-1970. We will crush every forces that are hell bent on destabilizing our one Nigeria. The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable

Unity begger

aputel:
What do you mean by heavy handedness? You are running a parallel government and even have the effontery to confront the army, I thank God on your behalf that so many people escaped.

What do you mean by paralell government? Did you see IPOB touch anyone or enforce anything? Just because some people say they want their independence, others say they are forming a parallel government. For your information, IPOB has broken no law till date.

bams2999:
But see IPOB Coward President Nnamdi Kanu changing his mind and saying Election will hold. 
But INEC should promise they are truthful.

What a shameless human being. Wawa KANU coward KANU wawa kanu, go to hell one Nigeria

He hasnt changed his mind, he still supports election boycott. If the election is boycotted, elections wont hold.

Kazim88:
This is why David Cameron, immediate past British Prime Minister, did not deploy troops to Glasgow or Edinburgh with rules of engagement (ROE) to kill innocent Scottish people in the quest to preserve “One Britain“.

If Britain our colonial masters and the creator of Nigeria can allow the Scots to determine their fate, how much more their product Nigeria refusing the nation of Biafra the same right.

Therefore the assertion by Buhari that Biafrans must stay together with the rest of Nigeria is not enforceable under any known law on this planet earth. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) makes it clear that Biafrans have the inalienable right to be on their own as a sovereign nation. The right to self-determination is not synonymous with war or violence.

F

That is why Nigeria is uncivilised. A mere colonial product that was manufactured in 1914 is what some people are now saying is "non negotiable"? So what was negotiable before 1914?

There are people in my village that are older than Nigeria.

Most Nigerians have been brainwashed to believe that Biafra means war.

But these Nigerians never stop to ask themselves:

Who is the violent party in the Biafran agitations?

Who is carrying arms? Nigeria!

Who is shooting and killing people? Nigeria!

Who is arresting, detaining and torturing people? Nigeria!

Has IPOB got any arms? No

Has IPOB killed anyone? No

Has IPOB touched anyone? No

So who is the violent party? Who is the one who is most likely to cause war by their conduct?

rabzy:
In history, there is hardly any secessionist movement without bloodshed and war. The parent country would always resist and fight back, especially if ethnic and religious feelings are roused.

Not any more. Britain that created Nigeria gace one of its areas, Northern Ireland, a referendum in 1973

The same Britain gave another one of its Regions, Scotland, a referendum in 2014.

There was no need for any war. But if Britain had said "we are one Britain"

"The unity of Britain is not negotiable"

"We must be one"

By now, Britain would have been at war with its self.

Britain is a far more civilised country and uses referendum in situations where Nigerians use guns and bullets.

Britain even used referendum to leave the EU last year

The remarkable thing about the Asaba massacre, one of the great sacriledges commited in Igbo land, waa that the man who commited this war crime, General Murtala Mohammed of cursed memory, is today regarded by some people as a hero.

A war criminal, coup plotter, pychotic killer and a failed Soldier is who Nigeria put on the N20 note and named and International Airport after?

Nigeria has a long history of honouring criminals.


Im just happy that Dimka later wasted that evil man called Murtala Mohammed as well Col Taiwo for the genocide they commited in Asaba.
