and they made u dia spokesman? Take ur useless and worthless Biafra shittt outta my state..those calling are not akwaibom but iboz

I suggest you go and read history well. Ibibio people are even more Biafran than Igbos. It is them that live by the "Bight of Biafra" if you know what that means. But don't worry, everyone will have a chance to vote where they belong in a referendum. When that time comes, you can urge your people to vote to remain in Nigeria. But until then, you remain a lone voice shouting for nothing. That is if you are not another Yoruba man masquerading as someone from Akaibom

Are you comparing namdi kanu or any of you with Lord Lugard?

No, how can you compare the two? Nnamdi is a freedom fighter, Lugard came to imprison everyone.

Afonja...This is your father known to have fought with 9 Tigers and survived...has scars to show it!

Lol

APCsupporter:
You guys should stop worrying yourselves. If they like let them include all the 36 states into their biafra. Its just an imagination and would never ever ever ever ever ever come true

Just like Nigeria was once the imagination of Lord Lugard but it came true?

All of them were horribly bad, just like everyone who has ever ruled Nigeria

anonym0us:
All iPod ,iPad ,iPhone ,Biafra or whatever you tag yourself with please don't drag akwaibom into biafra we are not part of it and we will never...99% of akwaibomites do know anything about Biafra.we are busy building our great state to a greater hight so take your Biafra agitation to your slum states....

Since when did people in Akwaibom elect you their spokesman? The same people who call into Radio Biafra singing and praising Biafra in Ibibio language?

Have you ever heard of the Annang man called Major General Philip Effiong?

Uteghe:
You are too small to decide the destiny of 20 million Igbos. Tell Ekweremadu to move a motion for secession. Mention one opinion moulder,trad ruler,student leader,top business man etc that wants Biafra? Why is Ipob fixated on Buhari? Is he Lord Lugard? Concentrate on convincing Igbos to come back,but they won't, cos they hate the Biafra idea.

Oh! I'm too small to decide the destiny of millions of Igbos? But it is Lord Lugard who is big enough to come to West Africa to decide that we are all "Nigerians"?

You are asking me to go to the National Assemby to ask for my freedom? Which National Assembly did Lugard go to when he 'roped' everyone into his illegal colonial construct called 'Nigeria'? Typical Nigerian, you are asking me as to go the political way of getting Biafra while accepting the fraud that made you a Nigerian.

Talking about opinions leaders, politicians and top business men, you think Biafra is an elitist thing? Biafra is about what the vast majority of the people in the SS/SE want or don't want and has nothing to do with social status.

Nigeria remains the illegal creation of the White man and it is an insult to ask those ethnic groups who were forced against their will into Nigeria to go to a political body called the National Assemby to ask the same freedom that was stolen. That is why the Government should conduct a referendum in the SS/SE area let the Igbo/Ijaw/Ibibio/Ogoni and the rest of them choose if they want to remain Nigerians or not. Those who vote to reman can continue as Nigerians while those who vote to go should be allowed to leave in peace. That's how sensible people do things, that's why Britain that created Nigeria gave Scotland the choice to go in 2014.

Guy, face the truth, you have no country. All you have is a forced union and nothing good ever comes forcing your self to be with another.

As an Igbo man, I will go and die for Yoruba and Hausa man? Excuse me let me go and laugh well.

ificatchmodeh:
If nigeria is not worth dying for,then why are we still a nation?

We need to be patriotic to make nigeria better.

Anyway Meself no fit die for present naija..maybe tomorrow naija

Nigeria is not a nation, it never has been. Nigeria remains the "enforced union" of ethnic nationalities as created by Lugard in 1914

Uteghe:
Freedom from what? Are you in bondage? Today's alleged sit in wasn't for freedom na

Of course we are in bondage. If we were not, we would have had the right to decide if we want be Nigerians or not. When a person is denied the right to decide their destiny, that person is a prisoner.

Ahmadgani:
ipob, massob dreams cannot be realized because.......

1 They've created a fantasy country equal to British and america. (south Sudan loading)..

There is no fantasy here except freedom, self determination and free choice. With all that Scotland had to gain from being part of Britain, the 5th richest nation in the world, it didn't stop them agitating to be on their own. They got a referendum in 2014 and are presently planning a second referendum because of BREXIT.

2. The great Ikemba was a man with vision, ideology, courage, intelligence and ready to sacrifice his wealth when the need arises, but sorry to say this: presently both ipob and massob lack visionary men as leaders.

The only vision here is self determination

3. few fighting for many... of lately i have come to realize that only the ibos are agitating on behlaf of urhobo, itsekiri, Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio, Edo, kumoni, ugbo, EFA...etc. there something wrong somewhere

Most of these ethnic groups you mentioned are even more tired of 'one Nigeria' than Igbos. For a long time, they have watched there Oil wealth being syphoned off in the name of 'one Nigeria' while the remain imporverished and unrecognised. Hence why they are more militant. Most of them are too small numerically to challenge Nigeria for freedom which is why only Igbos can do it for them

4. most of the sponsors of this movement are scared to show their face... fear factor..

What are they showing their faces for? The end goal here is freedom[/quote]

HMZi:
The only way the igbos can get what they want is through war,any other process is just a waste of time and am certain they aint up to it..ipob is just a nusiance and its a pdp led distraction.

But this leads to another question. Why would anybody be fighting to be with the Igbo man? Can't that person do without Igbos? Are Igbos so important to those people to that extent? Igbos are not going to fight to be with anyone, but everyone is willing to fight to be with Igbos? I laugh in Igbo.

LorDBolton:
It is same brits who illegally brought together the present day igbo states (don't forget)

They did not bring Igbos together. Igbos were a confederations of clans before the British came and that is what we are to this day.

The message is far more important than the messenger. This isn't about Kanu, this is about the message of freedom. So it doesn't matter if Kanu is Osama bin ladin's twin brother, the message ever remains freedom

Abagworo:
Imo residents are not part of the PDP sponsored IPOB. I've argued that severally and won in the end. Even the last protest failed in Imo and they had to recruit people from all parts of Nigeria to come and protest in Imo.

You and Okoroawusa are fighting a lost battle. The majority of the will of the people have expressed their immense desire to retrieve their sovereignty that was stolen by the British opportnunist called Lugard when he proclaimed the illegal colonial creation called Nigeria in 1914. Tell Okoroawusa that he might hold sway in his small fiefdom in Imo but the vast generality of of our people are heading for their freedom.

eki2000:
Akwa Ibom and cross river states are not part of this show of shame. I Believe my brother states sush as Edo, Rivers, Delta And Bayelsa are doing same. I would rather die a Nigerian if i can't get a Niger Delta State. We cannot trust Igbo people.

Guy, your Edo state is not part of the proposed Biafra (except Igbanke community) so this has nothing to do with you. The indigenous people in Akwa-cross, Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta are more than capable of deciding for themselves what they want. You are talking about Niger Delta state? You haven't even been able to lift one flag like these Biafrans in Tokyo and you are looking for Niger Delta state? You think countries drop out of the sky? Go and wave the Green white Green flag first before criticising those who waving their own flag.

I want to congratulate l Biafrans on a successful sit at home protest. From what I have gathered so far, there was close to 70% compliance in the entire SS/SE area.

May God Bless you all in the name of Chukwu Okike the most high!

TVTKOKO:
brother,, this in my opinion, is a total waste of time.. Just lyk using a cup to fetch water from the ocean

You are entitled to your opinion. But the only opinion that matters is that of the majority of the people in the SS/SE area.

Either way, it is always an honourable thing for one to seek out independence.

TVTKOKO:
I just had to create this thread pertaining the house arrest the igbos have place themselves all in the name of protest.. Which has graced the front page today.
While you may be there rejoicing that there's unity among yourselves (debatable actually), have you sat down to ask yourselves the effects of this sit at home protest?? Whom and whom it would affect??.? The answers are quite obvious. Now tell me one government parastatal that has not operated in the whole of the east? Which bank? Be sincere to answer me.. Which one amongst you working in a bank or a government establishment that didn't go to work today?
I reside here in the north and most of your brothers over here has little or no knowledge of whats happening in your region.

My point is, the common men amongst you are desperately ready to die for a cause that won't put a food on your table while the elites really don't caree!! I knw most of you come on here to shout just to be noticed(actually the Internet has provided room for that) but you actually went about your own businesses.. Lmao
Really,, i don't know who is deceiving who *drops pen*

You don't seem to get it (like most Nigerians). Without using guns, without spending any money, without forcing anyone, IPOB asked Biafrans in Biafra land to stay indoors between 6 in the morning to 12 noon to show their support for Nnandi Kanu and the Biafran struggle. By and large, our people complied. Reports I have recieved from Onitsha to Aba to Portharcourt to Akwa Ibom is that our people heeded the call. Even Enugu that started off slow later complied. Tell me anyone in Nigeria who will ask the people in the SE/SS area to voluntarily stay indoors and they will do it? The impact of this has shown the world that the days of 'divide and rule' are over and that our people are united in the common cause to get their freedom back from the illegal invention of the whiteman called Nigeria. When people are united in a common cause, the sky is their limit. Our people shall be free again

dammiedot:
You obviously haven't experienced war. You think it's like what they show in the movies eh! I pray for peace, be it Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba all I want is peace in the land!

It's true, I have not seen war. War is not a good thing, it brings too much suffering and death. that's why if you must fight a war, it should be for a good reason such as freedom. Freedom is one of the few things in life worth fighting and dying for. In every war, there are two sides. One side that is fighting for freedom and another that is fighting to take freedom away. Now in a Nigerian/Biafran situation, which side do you think will be fighting for freedom and which side will be fighting to take that freedom away?

Goke7:
Igbos want out and yet they covet appointments in all states of the Federation, even in FCT they are begging for appointments

You guys are funny you know

Of course, while we Igbos are still part of the illegal colonial creation called Nigeria, we shall enjoy all our entitlements. After we leave, you can use Nigeria for a football field for all we care.

Goke7:
This is the crux of the matter, the igbos are lazy politically, industrial-wise, yes, commercial-wise, yes, trade-wise, yes, technology-wise, yes and so on.

Political strength and fortitude remains the albatross of the igbos and Political strength remains the greatest capacity you can have anywhere in the world. This is where other regions in Nigeria even the SS has the edge over the igbos.

The igbos want everything in Nigeria on a platter, be it appointments and even the Presidency but they are not ready to slug it out politically due to their laziness politically, they prefer to resort to blackmail by crying marginalization which only exist in their imagination whenever they don't get what they want.

Igbos want out, you can keep Nigeria for your selves. What's so hard to understand about that?

Nnamdi carry go! We refuse to be "children of Lord Lugard "

mrvitalis:
U are indeed funny. .. . Governors and representatives can't get us referendum but we will still vote them in
Why don't ipob present people who can represent us.. be that have courage then let's see

You still don't get it. Nigeria is the illegal creation of the White man. Everything from your National Assembly to the Presidency to Governors to representatives are all illegal because the foundation where they derive their power comes from an illegal colonial creation. Therefore, the only rightful thing to do in other to legalise Nigeria is to ask the indigenous people who Lugard stole their lands to create Nigeria, wether they want Nigeria or not, via referendum. Those who say yes become legalised Nigerians. Those who say no are then left to organise their own Country, Government and laws. Nigeria is illegal.

confused people I though may 30th was ur day? now its sept 23. see how kanu led gullible youth last year, wey dem kill. ONE NIGERIA.the flag gives me goose bumps, the lyrics of our anthem elicits deep emotion within me. When I think of how this country was built. pple like macauley, enahoro, zik, awolowo and the likes..when I think about what we been through and we still standing. I can't but love and submit myself to this country. america fought a war didnt they? (kingcheezypuff) . Nigeria we hail thee! my beautiful country! I cant imagine nigeria without the igbos or the hausa or the yorubas. Till the end of time Nigeria will ALWAYS be one.

You mean the "River naming ceremony" Lugard conducted in 1914? Oh yeah! Who wouldn't be proud to be named after a stupid River?

sweerychick:
my mum told me about her bitter experience of the war, she said she was barely 7yrs when the war started and her village was a stronghold of Biafra ( ohafia abia state) every morning the hide in the bush, till evening when the safely return back home, she said she remembered one time they all returned home only to discover that their house have been taken over by Nigerian soldiers. They were forced to work for the Hausa soldiers, she told me that some of the Hausa soldiers forcefully married some Igbo ladies while some raped and committed all manner of atrocities. I get scared and sad when she shares her war stories with me. That's why it really breaks my heart seeing all those IPOB protesters shot like animals, if they really had an idea about what Biafrans suffered, they would have a rethink. I just hope Nnamdi kanu will have a rethink about actualizing this Biafra agitation. Nevertheless I'm not against freedom of expression. Just hope it doesn't lead to anarchy

This story is why you should have rejected the notion of 'one Nigeria'. How can someone call you "Brother" but will come to your land, take over everything, rape your women, forcibly marry some off and the person will tell you he is doing this because he wants to be "one" with you? This is the same way that Lord Lugard came to West Africa to create 'Nigeria'. It is the same way Nigeria has been kept together for 102 years. So the Biafran agitators are right to demand a separate existence from Nigeria just as their forefather were before Lugard came. It is a sorry story, I have heard many like it about war time attrocities. But it all points to the fact the freedom is one of the few things in life worth fighting for.

modsfucker:
Since the announcement by IPOB calling on all Igbos to embark on a sit at home protest on 23rd September, 2016, I took it upon myself to go round the city of Abuja to assess the level of compliance.

To my greatest dismay, people of Igbo extraction have all poured into the streets going about their businesses as though the order was not given. I was also opportuned to see some Igbo shop owners having their shops opened for the days business.

What is the level of compliance in your area?

As far as I know, the order is not about just Igbos. Neither is it about any area outside the SS/SE area

mrvitalis:
even if u don't support biafra because I believe we igbos have more to gain in one Nigeria than any other tribe

Gain what in Nigeria? What about what we can lose in Nigeria? What will pay back the over 3 million souls we lost in the name of a redundant term called "one Nigeria"?

Even if u want to get Biafra definitely not like this.. . No body will take u serious like this

Form a political party. .. With the clear aim of liberating Biafra.. If the fight is popular
The party will easily win a clear majority of sites in the region... Then with the recognised representative of the people demand for referendum... they no burn Nigeria well to say no... .

And when the representatives demand referendum, Hausa and Yoruba representatives will give it to them? I laugh in Chinese. Which representatives did Lugard go to when he was illegally creating Nigeria?

But no... They don't like this natural approach. . Nigeria is not democratic.. But u want it to democratically give u referendum and allow u protest

Stupidity is when u shout Biafra and still vote in Nigerian election

There is nothing natural about the nonsense you stated above. Somebody is holding your freedom and you advocate going to the same person to beg for your freedom? If you are a slave, Igbos are not. It is our God given right to demand for our freedom that was stolen by Lord Lugard.

As for nnamdi Kanu. . He is just a greedy man.. who want to milk the people... He is very smart I must confese. .. he knows what he is doing and that is not getting Biafra

Kanu is just a messenger. The message matters far more than the messenger.

Y can't we hold our governors, senators, reps members to speak on Biafra.. .. . No they won't. .. But yet ipob supports them... Don't that ring a bell?

How can anybody hold leaders accountable in Nigeria? You think this country works as nation? If you want to hold your leaders accountable, go and create a country built on accountability, accessibility, justice, fairness and the rule of law. Not Nigeria that was created by slave masters and Gangters such as Lugard and is still controlled by Gangters to this day. There is nothing like holding someone accountable in a 'gangland'.

afroxyz:
And by the way, since when did SS states like Akwa-ibom and co, become Biafra?

You need to read up on history, all those places were part of Biafra even back in 1967 when it was declared.

Is Biafra not an Igbo agenda?

Biafra was never an Igbo agenda. The last president of Biafra was an Ibibio man. The man who suggested the name "Biafra" was an Ijaw man. The 2 most powerful people after Ojukwu in the first Biafran Republic were not Igbos. The Chief secretary of the Biafran Government was an Annang man.

How people can't see through this smokescreen baffles me. Make una dey protest, when you are ready to develop Igbo land call me. Anu ofia!

Biafra is not about development, it is about freedom. After you get your freedom, then you can develop your self. You can't develop your self when your destiny is controlled in a foreign land called Abuja. Freedom is far more important than development.
