My brother u can continue dreaming. After more than 50 years after independence, it is now u remember that Nigeria should seek permission from u before becoming a nation? U are sick up stairs. Well, the del has being done, u better start living with the reality that Nigeria is a nation recognized by the whole world, and Biafra is nothing, the world only recognize u as igbos and not Biafra. Till then, u can keep waiting for referendum and permission till Jesus come. But if u have the army, u can force Nigeria to war to claim ur Biafra.

Nigeria is alot more than just an 'enforced British arrangement', it is our country and our constitution does not recognize any nonsense referendum

ever811:
Mr sunny okereafo u are wrong to mention hypocrisy here..there is a big difference between session from a country and separation from an organization.. so don't take ur frustration to Britain. but if u want to protest u can do it for a good reason.

Any attempt to undermine the territorial integrity of the Nigerian state as it is currently constituted will not be taken lightly. IPOB is an illegal secessionist group, wherever it raises its head, we will always support a government crackdown to chop it off. Nigeria's unity is non-negotiable

asorocker:
this is my biggest problems with muslims in nigeria , why must they insist on living in the same country with infidels

matrixme:
I just laugh in derision whenever I hear igbo youths advocating for Biafra. As a westerner residing in a core igbo state, I see reasons why your tribesmen must always seek refuge anywhere on earth but home.
The igbo people cannot live in peace with themselves. If they don't fight for land, they will fight for superiority. There just must be an issue to fight for if not those. Just few days ago, I was beaten up by some youths because I passed the front of their house without greeting them. This one is small compared to what I keep experiencing daily in this Eastern state. I keep hearing gunshots, hear of murders and kidnappings and so on.
I'll advise you to stay in the comfort of Lagos and use your Internet to advocate for better causes like overfishing or the plight of the big cats. You are not going to be able to live well with yourself if you form your country!

The situation is completely different here. Scotland was part of GBR voluntarily and with the clause to leave whenever they wish.Scotland fought to be Independent from England. So what are you talking about. There is no such agreement here. IPOB are part of Nigeria in our constitution. The whole country has to agree before any amendment in the constitution. Two thirds of two thirds of all state houses of assembly have to agree to this. Any normal person will understand this.

wirinet:
So because you have sprinkles of Igbos in Benue, the whole state must have a referendum? The Tivs, Idomas, Igedes, Etulos, Nyifons, Afias and Abakwas must be forced into a referendum? You guys are annoyingly arrogant. The Scottish referendum was only for one people - The Scottish people, the Scottish did not drag, the Welsh and the Irish into their referendum. So it is annoying when the igbos wants to forcefully drag other tribes into their dream state.

chilan:
UK conducted a referendum for itself to determine whether to leave the European Union or not. The referendum was not conducted by the European union. Why can't the so-called Biafran apologists conduct a referendum for itself to leave Nigeria instead of calling on the Federal Government of Nigeria to conduct a referendum for them?

Nellybii:
The voting will involve the entire country.
So the idea is DOA(dead on arrival )

Ayus34:
Please this thread is only meant for reasonable human being,not one with cassava brain!
thanks for ur understanding.

JimiOgunlola:
I don't know why yoruba people carry Biafra matter for head like Agbo. Will you die if Ibos have a different country?

Ayus34:
I have read several news forecasting a negative economy future for Nigeria, but my goodnews is that the nation will survive with or without Britain if we can begin to do the right things and act the right way ....but most importantly the mindset of Nigerians must be positive.
The steps forward
Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa and also the most populous nation in the black world,so diversification of the nations economy is now a must for us as a nation,where agriculture will play a pivotal role,and our ways of practicing agriculture must be improved on,especially in the areas of adding value and packaging,this will definitely create room for small scale industries that will be agro based,producing the foods to feed our huge population,also for foreign exchange and the fact is that,if we produced a top quality products to tge market,even with or without UK,other countries will definitely buy.

Good relationship can easily be a strong point to give us an international market edge
So i will suggest that our ministry of foreign affairs should be reshuffle,build more good relationship with any countries of the world that is ready to be part of Nigeria success and forget the phobia of what the west may say,we need development, we need to build both human capacity and also industrial base capacity, good relationship can give us a good market leverage,so Nigeria interest should be a top priority,with this we are good to go.

Solidify Nigeria unity and let there be love among us all: I sometimes clamour about the division of nigeria as a nation due to some annoying behaviours from people of different tribe,but the truth is that we are all guilty of nigeria problem,everytribe contributed to the today's problem.... So blaming others for our woes is pure hypocrisy,infact most people that fall into this sorry category dont have solution to their personal problem,so why listening to their public lamentation about d country at first,the world changers are not problem analyzers but solution provider.....so i strongly believe there is unity in our diversity,so my suggestion is that our leaders should give a listening hear to every public outcry from all tribes with love,and provide realistic solutions to most of the agitations,because we can easily achieve alot and be heard internationally with our over 200million population intact,this will give us more pride and market leverage ahead of crude oil......so protecting our population is securing the nations fortune.

Patriotism
Patriosm is the key,every country needs its people ,the way the people needs the country,let us believe in our nation,the greatness of our coutry is our pride!!!

Develop other sectors
I have traveled far and wide in this country,especially on a agric business mission and this has opened my eyes to other opportunities like solid minerals,if our leaders can open opportunities in different regions,i strongly believe our economy will be at is peak!

PEACE
For any society to witness development,there must be peace,so enough of terrorism and vandalism... We must jealously guide our peace.


THIS ARE MY HUMBLE SOLUTIONS FOR A GREATER NIGERIA!!!

Shey Biafra does not include Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River?

PentiumPro:
Meaning you have resigned your destiny only to come to NL to fume and insult people? Ok.

This should ratther serve as a pointer to u, Ugandans and ur dilector that its not by calling Nigeria a zoo, on setting up treasonable radio stations, or hanging broadcasting instruments illegally on communication masts, or by instigating hate, insulting the serving president and other tribes, or calling Nigeria a Zoo. Those that voted didn't call EU a Zoo, neither did they set up broadcast stations to preach hate. Be sensible for once

MasterofNL:
Ok, so how should we go about it?

If a senator from the east should move for a referendum in the National Assembly will they allow it pass?

PentiumPro:
You are not going about it in civilized manner and the people at forefront are acting more like thugs than cerebral agitators.
You don't go to look for separation by insulting people all over the social media.

druboon404:
Are you in anyway related to Joseph the dreamer?

Nels4reel:
As days go by, the unity of the nation continues to widen due to what is been perceived as marginalization in the current appointments made by the president but the question is, does the president really understand the meaning of federal character, does he understand that the southerners are grumbling against this unjust cause and finally, does he understand that nation building does not work on a foundation of disunity. The situation in the country today reminds me of the travails of former PM of Iraq AL- Maliki , who for his hatred of Sunnis end up destroying his country.

I wonder if this will now be adopted as a standard in Nigeria politics, where winner takes it all. My question is this , are there Northerners who disagree with president on this issue?
