The op/searchiing4love, attackgat, aresa, Marcelini are all the same person.

And how did you reach this conclusion?

South West is the pride of Nigeria


And yet they are still running around looking for the Hausa and Igbo man to do 'one Nigeria' with.

Keep lying to yourselves Igbo's lost all the 3 fruitless wars they fought against Nigeria. Whatelse do u people need to convince u that your destiny lies in nigeria? The Ojukwu that started biafra contested for nigeria's president and even died a patriotic Nigerian with Nigerian flag wrapped on his coffin. Are you guys more wiser than the Ojukwu's and the Zik's who were pro Nigeria? Kanu is a coward who only runs his mouth for fun in exchange for donations. He has tried every means to regain freedom including writing the British embassy and the ecowas court. He is not ready to die for biafra. He is a fraud that people like u and 39xtr90r found mentorship in

Yes, and that's what makes the Igbo man different from the likes of you who are still carrying the torch of Lugard. The Igbos will keep fighting and agitating until they get their freedom from the symbol of colonial slavery called Nigeria. We are aware that there are tribes who as soon as they saw Lugard, they raised their hands in defeat and said 'oga White man, please take my land and resources but don't kill me'. That act of cowardice has been handed down from one generation to another, from one slave to another. If it is not slavery to the British, it is slavery to the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy, but the slavery continues and 'one Nigeria' is their unifying point. The people who are proud to named after a River. I laugh in Igbo.

Who cares what flag Ojukwu was buried with? Biafra was never about Ojukwu same as it is not about Kanu, those men are leaders of independence movements, they are not the movement its self. The message is greater than messenger. One thing is clear though, Lord Lugards colonial creation of oppression called Nigeria can't ever move foward for no divided house ever progresses. So in the end, you guys can shout 'one Nigeria' all you want while tour country heads nowhere.

I know many people who said until he is physical in Nigeria will they commit to IPOB....these people I must tell you are the core Biaffrans I know today. Nnamdi Kanu surprised them.

I remember the days when many Yorubas were shouting on the Internet "he is enjoying himself in London", "he will never return to Nigeria". But Nnamdi shamed all of them by announcing the date he will return. He fearlessly returned to look his enemy in the eye. That's the stuff that freedom fighters are made of. His subsequent arrest and detention made the world hear about Biafra. Today, nobody can decieve the outside world that Nigeria is a united country. The cheap media campaign of the Daura shoe shiners by inventing a phantom TRIPOB only backfired on them and exposed them as amatures.

The leader of the new organisation is "Ikemba Biafra"? These people must have gone to Ali Baba to learn comedy.

Keep spewing trash. You claim Igbo's don't want the highest seat in the land but your region complained of marginalization when buhari was sharing mere appointments. If you people can be so hopeful about getting an appointment from the man you love to hate, what will happen if your region gets a grab at the presidency? Why didn't zik fight for the reclamation of igbo land from the British instead of fighting for Nigerian's independence? You fore fathers where pro Nigeria and here you are getting misguided by one charlatan called Nnamdi kanu who will spend his miserable life in jail. Biafra is not the solution. Igbo's are free in nigeria already

Any Igbo you see complaining about appointments is someone who belongs to the minority who still believe in one Nigeria. I'm interested in the majority. Zik was nationalist, his job was to get the British out before anything else and he did his job. It was for the younger generation such as Ojukwu determin the future, not Zik.

My forefathers were never pro Nigeria. They fought three wars to prove it. They fought the Ekumeku war and the Arochukwu war against the British so as not to be included in Nigeria. They later fought the Biafran war to get out of Nigeria. People who are fighting not to be part of something cannot be said to part of that thing.

As for Nnamdi Kanu, if encouraging his people to seek noble goals such as freedom,self determination and sovereignty makes him a charlatant, then I want to a charlatant too.

Kanu is willing to die for his beliefs just like Mandela, nobody said freedom fighting is a painless venture.

Igbos have never been free since Lugard came to west Africa to include them in the 'British Business venture' called Nigeria. If Igbos were free, they would have had the right to decide if they want to be Nigerians or not. Nigeria remains the instrument of oppression that Lugard designed it to be.

Braden104:
Kindly explain to me why most ibibio and even anang feel inferior to igbo and prefer to be slaves in Biafra instead of supporting akwa cross unity and progress which has greater potential ?

Greater potential? How? Won't they still be under Nigeria where they will have neither have control of their resources and economic life? So what potential is there? The ethnic nationalities that constitute Akwa-Cross are the closest people to the Igbos. Most of the Biafran groups have said that should Biafra be realised, the area called Akwa-Cross will become "Oyono Region" with 100% resource control. I have to admit that I don't were the word Oyono comes from or its meaning, it could be the name of a Deity in Ibibio land.

I think that Vanguard should have been more thorough in its reportage. Vanguard knows that the entire leadership of IPOB is based abroad. So how how can group based in Nigeria be sacking a group based abroad based on a press release? Even common sense will tell anyone that a Biafran group can never even contemplate burning the Biafran flag unless they are being sponsored by the Nigerian establishment.

Igbo presidency is a worthless venture. It is like askng someone to forget the food on the table and go for the crumbs on the floor. We Igbos have watched others who have held the presidency at one time or another, it didn't help them. The presidency of Nigeria is poison.

Igbos are never going to give up their God given right to reclaim their sovereignty that was stolen by the 'British gangster' called Lord Frederick Lugard when he was creating the illegal and enforced union commonly refered to as Nigeria.

Nigerians can be hypocrites. The average Nigerian will say that he understands why Zik, Awolowo, Bode Thomas etc fought for independence from Britain but the same Nigerian will turn around and say he doesn't know why Igbos are fighting for independence from Nigeria. Yet the reasons are the same.

The presidency of Nigeria is worthless to me as an Igbo man. My freedom, sovereignty and independence is far more important.

omolola15:
I don't wanna do this with you. I did listen to some of his so called broadcast before he was arrested. And what he preaches is what some of you do here on nairaland. I have so many ibo friend. I'm a yoruba, i grew up in the north in an ibo populated area. Many ibo in my school than any other language. But the hatred igbos spew towards other region on nairaland is just too much.

A beautiful marriage thread was derailed to tribal fight by just one igbo guy with his hatred for yoruba. I repeat, violent solve nothing. You guys should have learnt that by now.

If he was not arrested and left alone to continue with his preaching, another biafra war might be in progress by now. And please explain how ipob take win ooooo. Last time I checked Kanu still dey prison. You are still a Nigerian with naira in your bank account. And green white green is still your color. Happy independence day in advance brother.

And the question a lot of Igbos ask Yorubas such as your self is why do you want to be with Igbos in "one Nigeria"?. Before Lord Lugard came, you Yorubas didn't even know who Igbos were, today, you guys shout that you are one with Igbos and that Nigeria is sacrosant. How many Igbos here on NL or otherwise are shouting that they must be one with Yorubas? Have you ever heard any Igbo man ,besides politicians, say they must be one with Hausa/Fulani? The same Britain that created Nigeria was willing to split up with Scotland it has been with for over 300 years by granting Scotland a referendum in 2014. Yet, it is Nigeria that is roughly a hundred years old that are saying they will destroy each other rather than separate?

This isn't about Kanu. If Nigeria was truly meant to be a nation, it would have even been us Igbos that would have arrested and detained Kanu before the Nigerian Government. But the truth is that just because Lord Lugard brought us all together doesn't mean we are destined to be together or even be together.

iHustle336:
I don't know if this is the right section, I wanna know if it is possible to legally acquire and own fire arm in Nigeria as a civilian? If it is possible, please let someone with the requisite knowledge explain how.

It is quite simple. Just become a Hausa/Fulani Herdsman.

Elkay3:
When the hustle gets real, or when the hustlers gets serious, they'd be down here on the field. Not some far n distant lands, with their jobs secured n family safely tucked away. Wait, who is really gullible?

There is nothing gaulible about an organisation that supports and preaches freedom and self determination. The only only gaulible people are those who accept the 'British invented colonial prison' called Nigeria as true country

A man who knew he is wanted in Nigeria but still fearlessly returned to look his enemy in the eye is not defrauding anybody. That man is a freedom fighter.

The leadership of IPOB is based abroad. The deputy leader is in London, the COC is in America, the legal advicer is in London, the head of directorate is in Spain,all the continental reps don't live in Africa. And yet, some unknown individual in Nigeria is sacking a leadership based abroad? I want to roll of the floor and laugh. That's how they came up with reformed Niger Delta Avengers. They want to apply the same tactic to IPOB. Where they made their mistake is that they didn't remember that IPOB leadership is based abroad unlike the NDA. Therefore, it is not possible to sack the leadership of IPOB from Nigeria.

Ghost447:
It means you don't know the meaning of "Geo-political zone", we have six Geo-political zones in Nigeria, SS is one of them just like SE as well as SW, NE, NW, & NC. How can you now say a Geo-political zone does not mean anything? How do then apply the principle of Federal character as envisaged by our Constitution? I guess you reason just like Buhari.

Don't make me laugh. The so called SW, NE, NW etc you are talking about is not even recognised by the constitution. people talk about these "Geo-political zones" without knowing that they are illegal because they are not backed up by any law. Basically, SS, SE and the rest of them are mere geographical expressions that Government sometimes uses in economic planning. They don't actually mean anything. What means something are tribes, the group of people who have a common language, value system, cultural affinity and ideology and history. The rest mean nothing.

Ghost447:
Delta girl is not an Igbo girl, what is so difficult about you people distinguishing SS from SE?

Igbo is a tribe, Delta is not. As for your so called SS/SE, they are just mere geopolitical zones. Nobody even heard of anything called SS or SE 20 years ago. In Nigeria, we talk about tribes, not invented terms like Delta or SS that doesn't really mean anything

michaelandre:
I entered radio Biafra Facebook page today I was surprised of the kind of news that they were feeding people and making people believe lies upon lies and was surprised how the people too swallowed every bit of it and they are very good in attaching thereself by force with Niger delta I so much pity the young people following them instead of using there life for something good they were swallowing lies from different angles. they posted photoshoped pics lying and deceiving the youth slaving there mindset. this is one of the lie.

What lies? Self determination and the right to choose one's fate? As for this 'Niger Delta attach', there is no tribe called Niger Delta and Biafra has never been an Igbo only thing.

Okorohausa the traitor

As an Anambra man, I will say that Willie Obiano has done enough to deserve a second term. However, I will not be voting for him due to the lack lustre way he approached way the IPOB shootings. A Governor should be standing up for his people, not cowing to the excesses of the Nigerian security agencies. So I won't be voting Obiano because of the IPOB shootings and if there are many like me that share the same sentiments, then Obiano is in trouble.

Nigeria is a lawless nation. How can the police go and arrest someone simply for being a Biafran activist? The signs of the times we are in.

A Yoruba guy weds an Igbo girl. Not everyday you see that happening.

No need asking a man who thinks or thought that sovereignty comes out of the a$$ of Northerners.

Osyabj:
Former Governor of Anambra, Chris Onwa Ngige WILL RUN AND WIN

Take that to any bank and cash it

Ngige is not likely to run for Governor of Anambra again. He has been Governor before, he has been senator and is now at the national stage as minister. Before you declare Ngige winner of the yet to be conducted elections, wait and see if he intends to run at all.

Osyabj:
"I don' t give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think is hell"..Harry Truman, Former US President.

Onwa Ngige SHALL shine n Anambra again come 2017.

2017 will not be a repeat of infectual buffoon , jonathan using his Army to rig the Obi puppet into office.

100 out of 100 "Free and Fair election" in Anambra and Ngige will Win. Don't talk about the last stolen election which the world knew was not an election.

Governor Chris Onwa Ngige, Anambra Governor 2017.


Take that to the bank and cash it.

And what if Ngige decides not to run?

What den is a good idea?
Stay and do nothing while Fulani's take over our ancestral homeland because we don't want to deal with attendant challenges that will result from proliferation of arms in our different villages or wake up one day and hear it in the news that Fulani's have taken over your village,killed your grand parents,burn down your family home and turn your family plantation to grazing land for their cows.
The best and only way to continue breathing in the face of unprovoked attack is to defend yourself.

How can you defend yourself if you cannot match your attacker strength for strenggt?

What is the strenght of your attackers?

Acquire that and there will be mutual respect.

peace.

The only way to protect your self from the Fulani aggressors is to demand your sovereignty. Then you can police your borders and chase the Fulani out whenever the invade your community. As long as you are under the banner of 'one Nigeria', you had better start getting used to Fulani attacks. A Fulani man is currently your president, if you are thinking he is going to bring the weight of the Nigerian armed forces on his own people, forget it. You have an armed forces that is heavily dominated by the Northerners, if you are thinking that they will go after Fulanis, forget it. Fulanis have killed so many people in this country, many unreported. Not one single Fulani has ever been arrested. They are untouchable. Truth is bitter to hear

obailala:
Unfortunately, Nigeria is not a sane or civil society, the madness can only be matched. There's a law in Nigeria that says "the first to report the case is innocent." The man was arrested because someone reported him. Meanwhile if you report northerners even when they commit a real crime, within 24 hours, the suspects would be released. It's not magic, it happens because someone big made a phone call or someone big came down to the station to effect that release.

So next time a person like Chinakwe is arrested for a flimsy reason, someone big from his side should make that call too, that's how this jungle works; for how long are we going to keep whining and weeping everyday and blaming the north like we don't have our own leaders down south? If the northerners can release theirs, why can't we?... Oh I forgot, the only thing our leaders down south know how to do is to cater for their personal pockets, they only remember they have constituents whenever they are caught red-handed in some corruption case.

And it all goes to buttress the fact that we are wasting our time together. We should all go our different ways and manage our selves and make our own laws. That way, when people like Chinakwe go to a foreign land, e.g the North, he will conform to their way of doing things, and if he doesn't , he only has himself to blame. We can't keep claiming to be 'one Nigeria' when the law applies different to different people. Chinakwe does not have to live by a strange constitution that gives him freedom of expression but takes it away when he is in a 'Hausa dominated area'. I should not have be a citizen of a country with a Northern dominated armed forces that thinks Igbos are trouble makers.

Simply a case of the Northerners victimising an Igbo man.

betterABIAstate:
then dont blame people agitating for secession

Of course. Secession is another to way to achieve sovereignty

Not a good idea. The vigilante you are arming could later be a menace just like the herdsmen.
