how wrong you are! and this is the evidence that our youths lacks knowledge in history! little wonder Nigeria government is succeeding in twisting the history!

please can you answer the following questions:

was it Nigeria government that named the region Bight of Biafra?

the name biafra and Nigeria which one existed first?

biafra, is it only an igbo thing?

Naming the bight of Biafra is Like many mistakes the Europeans made about Africa.

They chose to identify locations with what they are comfortable with. Nigerians are also comfortable with this until a demented Biafra thought of seceding from the federation.

The govt was left with no choice but abrogate bight of Biafra we all know as nothing to do with Biafra except the well known recognition Biafra to lesser known bight of Bonny.

This rightly put paid to the daydreaming of the Biafrans thinking their land extend to the coastline and at the same time ensure that the natives of the coastline of the bight could have its name associated with their town.

This is what the Igbo are bitter about now. There's no opportunity to lay a fraudulent claim that the bight of Biafra which is now bight of Bonny is part of Biafra.

I hope Igbos will not commit suicide because FG no allow make una thief bight of Bonny.

xrisdon:
you may not be far from the truth!

but they can't subdue the struggle by twisting the history.

younger generation will definetly ask questions from older generation.

Where is Roman today ? Do you have any idea how many kingdoms have come and gone. Nigeria govt exercised its authority on a location it as jurisdiction.

Naming the place bight of Biafra is a gesture of what the Igbo do not appreciate about Nigeria so denying them that privilege by renaming it bight if Bonny is in order.

What makes the Igbo think they can wail claiming victim to have whatever they desire in Nigeria is what I do not understand.

The ocean that as no link to you was named after you out of respect. You are here claiming victim when it's was named after those with boundary to the ocean.


Listen good Igbos your father and forefathers do not have more right than the aaboki next door nor will your future generation yet unborn have more right than any tribe in Nigeria.

It does not matter whether you are Jews from the pith of hell or not. I do not care.

Gravanno:
Does stupidity comes to you naturally

You should not be asking that Chukwudi guy such questions. Every one knows he is a jester one Nairaland.

You know a typical classroom slowpoke constituting nuisance, even the class teacher can not do anything about.

That is what Pa Chukuwdi is to Nairaland. Moderators just let me keep making a fool of what he truly his. Worry not about him.

Yet to see any Ijaw on your list

Any girl with a functional brain would know you are nothing but a deceit. How can you be ready to get married without knowing what age you desire. 25-35

You wan marry your mama age mate ?

NewNigeriaMind:
FYI made up my mind to visit Kenya next,

Kenya is amazing if you intend to visit the wildlife, the night life in Nairobi is fantastic as well but it's just a mini Lagos n similar in terms of infrastructure.

You won't be amazed as you were as you were about South Africa. Enjoy your trip.

NewNigeriaMind:
Yeah there are other observations but the reason for my thread is for the need for infrastructural development in Nigeria, lets catch up with SA in this.

One reason I argue with some of my colleagues we both APC supporters is that as successful as Fashola is as a governor in Nigeria he would forever remains a colossal failure.

I can argue about this because I live in Lagos I wouldn't want to involve PDP.

Imagine a governor with the income of Lagos who does not have a single highway to show for his 8 years of stewardship. He built a few km bridge and towed it, built an uncompleted LekkiAjah road and towed it and am left to ask what exactly did Fashola do in Lagos.

Is clearing traffic in Oshodi or planting flowers the achievement Lagos desire ? Yet this is arguably the best we have.

I wonder why some many Nigerians can not see how hopeless this country is if this is the best rate of development our leaders can offer.

iterator24:
make sure you visit their ghettos too and learn how they're still striving to hijack their economy back from whites..

Here we go again with confused Nigerians. How is black trying to hijack the economy from white related to Light year development SA is experiencing compared to the never develop we are grappling with in Nigeria.

more pictures of nigeria [abj] for the dunce that just discovered paved roads today after leaving ajegunle straight to SA

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/584/21400977215_600829f2df_o.jpg

Mr can you see this your picture, this is just one place in the capital of Nigeria.

I am telling it to your face that almost 99.9% of homes in any state in South Africa have tarred road running from door step to door step. I live in Ajah Lagos and I can tell you the 8 lane LekkiAjah expressway Fashola is building Ia already filled with pothole and it's not even 10% completed. Nigerians governors are evil. This is one of your best and we are still grappling with building highways when would be start construction of intra state roads ?

If you are not understanding what am saying every local govt road in South Africa is beta tarred than any highway that will ever be built in Nigeria till kingdom come and unlike Nigeria every road in SA from village to bushes are tarred.

SkyBlue1:
In regards to the part in bold, with all due respect to you, you don't know what you're talking about. SA infrastructure is much better than Nigeria true, but not Europe, to even suggest that sounds ignorant. Take just rail as an example. . . . I don't want to get into this on this thread but do your research. And also explore out of Jo,Burg. It is such a silly statement to make.

Am not here to argue what province of South Africa does the rail network not cover ? There's none. If the UK have speed train, how many states is connected to the system. The entire Gauteng province from Preroria to Jo'burg is linked with speed train as its only linked to cities that are profitable with such. I can tell you there's no speed train in Berkshire a city just outside London.

I put it to you that every city in SA as beta road network compare to London when you consider traffic n population control.

It's impossible for the UK to claim it as a beta town planing structure or housing in comparison with South Africa.

Health Aviation Education in fact I can't think of anything UK is beta than South Africa. Do you know SA as its own aircraft manufacturing industry.

I put it to you in particular that there's no single place in UK that is beta developed than Capetown. I would have added USA but av not been there before.

UK is no more developed or beta developed than the SA chikena.

BOWOTO:
Nigeria cannot be compared to South africa in development, I live in Capetown and I sometime forget I am in Africa, everything is so organized and in order, I feel really bad for my country , it'll take a lot to meet up.

Bro it will not take a lot for Nigeria to meet up with South Africa, if Jesus should come down to support you I doubt if Nigeria can ever meet up. That is the only basis or option for us to meet up.

In fact Nigerians should give up on Nigeria. I have anyway.

I have repeatedly stated this as well most especially when I see Nigerians talk down on South Africa.

If South Africa should stop developing today Nigeria with the rate n governors we have will not catch up in a thousand year.

OP you claim you have been to Europe please name a country that is more beautiful than the places you visited in South Africa.

I bet to say there is none. South Africa is country where tarred roads are built to doors of each houses unlike Nigeria that is struggling to build n maintain highways.

I told someone dem no de park shit for SA, the drainage don't smell, you can't even see any. Sewage system is already in place.

OP if you are in doubt of any country in Europe being more beautiful visit Cape Town, water front especially to dispel such believes.

I have never been to the USA but no country in Europe is beta developed than SA. They have functional speed training running from Pretoria to Jo'burg, they have the normal rail.

The airport not so pretty but none can not be compared to those in Nigeria in terms of efficiency. Nigerians make una listen n listen good South Africa n Nigeria no be mate n would never be not in this life except the White do us the favour they did to them.

50 billion Fashola and Akpabios join together can not turn Nigeria to South Africa if they are given a million year. We are talking about your best ever performing governors from APC n PDP.

If any Nigeria care to now every / any where in Capetown is as neat as any Nigeria sitting or living room and am talking about outdoors roads. You'd drive through out the length n breath of South Africa without a single pothole that is as big as the size of an iPad. I never saw one n believe that is the worse you can ever come across.

I have driven with friends from Pretoria to Durban no single pothole about 4 hrs drive, frim Brakenville to Cape Town not a single pothole, from Jo'burg to Pretoria etc

Kestolovee95:
yorubaman thinks he can deceive Biafrans with 'pack and leave'. Biafra will come and their properties will remain, except you want and international war that will send yorubas packing to benin republic like fulanis are already experimenting with fleeing farmers.

Their properties are their sweat, you won't have it.

Tell that to the Sudanese with properties in southern Sudan, the Slavs with properties in Croatia or the Ethiopians with properties in Eritrea.

sorry bros.

How much does your father have in his bank account ? I feed Igbos like you as almajiri In my neighbourhood. I bliv your father needs your sorry more than I do having realised he wasted your tuition for God knows how many years.

naijaking1:
I know that the word "Igbo" gives you ulcer and hypertension, but tell me the other largest Nigerian tribe in Kenya, South Africa, Cameroon, Ghana, etc.
I'm in the US, so I have first hand account here.

What part of the USA do the Igbo dominate ? Is it NY NJ Atlanta Florida or CA ?

In South Africa Igbo are the dominant Nigeria in joburg, Yorubas are in both Pretoria n Capetown all the way to Brakenville.

The Igbos in Ghana live among Yoruba in Accra n Kumasi. I never toured Kenya enough to determine Igbos are more. You telling Igbo are more in Cameroon is like me telling you Yorubas are more in Benin Republic figure out the similarities of both country to each tribe.

Moral stop dishing out trash n stop thumping your chest like a baboon. I was hoping you'd claim Igbo are in UK n I would have taken you to the gutters.

kingzizzy:
Don't talk like a fool. Igbos packed their bags and returned to the Eastern Region in 1967 to face Biafra. It did not stop you Nigerians from shouting "one Nigeria" all over the place and coming to East to fight. Even if Igbos pack and go back today and declare Biafra, You Nigerians will come again to fight. Igbos are going to stay where they are until Biafra is achieved then we go home to build our new country

You are not to be advice against commenting like a fool because that is exactly what you are. Is leaving your 5 Igbos states to Edo for further onslaughter on Lagos, Biafra ? I don't want to believe that your forefathers were as foolish as you are sounding at the moment. No wonder they suffer such massive defeat.

Last to comment

This is a thread to help serious minded Igbos who crave for Biafra n not kids.

The Biafra imbroglio as drag on for a while on Nairaland and I believe patriotic Nigerians especially Yoruba who the Igbo believed tied their destiny to Nigeria are being force to propound meaningful solution to achieving the desire of the Igbos since it is now obvious they neither have the brain, intelligence Nor competence to free themselves from the slavery imposed on them by the Yorubas.


Actualising Biafra is the simplest thing to achieve and this is how. It is very simple, if you are among the Igbos that truly want Biafra, all you need do is pack your bags and head eastern Igbo States. I will personally guarante that nobody stops you on the way. Your leader in the National Assembly should followe suit and then you can draw up a map on how to ensure adequate food supply should a war break out from actualising Biafra.

Biafrans should note an intelligent man and not a rettarted general who can secure food supply Should lead them this time as it is foolhardy to expect the enemy you are waging war against to provide you with food during the conflict while you spent you money buying ammunition to wreck more havoc on him.

Biafrans there you have it, your gateway from the zoo.

naijaking1:
Igbos already dominate in other parts of Africa,

Igbos are the largest Nigerian if not African group in the US, yet the US government is not stopping our development at home.

Please do you have a lie to back this lie up because you are going to need lot n lots of more lies to back up that delusion.

Rose2014:
What I don't understand is Why Yorubas are so bent on a united Nigeria
But silent on true federalism?

If you n your forefather were not deluded you should understand that Nigeria consisting of Yorubas Hausas and Fulani agreed and operated confederalism after independence.

It took a certain mad Igbo in the person of Aguiyi Ironsi to truncate that having realised that his tribe was no match for the two major tribes in Nigeria. Talk about Kano groundnut pyramid n the Yoruba exploit in cocoa. Whatever the east produce come a distant 4th or 5th because rubber from the SS even supersede all the East as to offer.

Now my question for you is what right does your entire tribe have to shift the goal post anytime the situation in the contry is not favourable to you ?

Why do you think the Igbos who truncated confederate Nigeria n imposed unitary govt because they couldn't meet up with the dictate of other tribes deserve to be allowed to impose federalism which is peripheral of conferalism they truncated earlier, bearing in mind Nigeria struggle to have partial federalism from unitary govt your kinsmen imposed ?

What right do you think the Igbo owns or as to dictated what system of govt should be practised in Nigeria as a minority ?

The last time I checked Nigeria is a democracy which allows the minority to make all the noise it likes but the majority will prevails or does democracy translate to the will of the minority Superseding that of the majority in Igbo land ?

ENUGU—Scores of women from four local government areas in Enugu State,yesterday, called on the state government to quickly halt incessant attacks occasioned by Fulani herdsmen who molest, maim, rape and destroy their farmland and livestocks.

The women from the Anglican Diocese of Enugu North comprising Enugu-North, Enugu-East, Udi and Ezeagu council areas, lamented that the herdsmen have so far, defied known measures in warding off their activities even as they revealed that their lives are now in perpetual danger.

“They butchered two men at Eke, they should stop robbing us on the high ways,” said leader of the group, Mrs. Achogaonye Eze, adding that unless the herdsmen are stopped, their lives would continue to be in grave danger because they arm themselves with sophisticated weapons making it impossible for the vigilante to confront them.
Eze, who is the wife of Bishop Sustenance Eze of Enugu North Anglican Diocese, pointed out that apart from raping women and killing people in the communities, the herdsmen also engage in robbery and kidnapping, lamenting that they are helpless because they had complained to the law enforcement agencies to no avail.

luvmijeje:
OP, you are troublesome. Despite your obvious distrust and dislike for the Igbos, you still manage to back your statement with facts. Although you're openly tribal but you still pass your message with class. You're not forceful or brash but your messages still manage to carry punch. You're unashamedly bias but you still come across as been honest.

I don't know if I'm making sense, my point is if you guys will continue to tribalise every thread, please be sensible like the OP.

Is that the way Igbo pass across their own messages with lies n deceit believing that other lack or have no knowledge of what happened right before us ?

Royal155:
Bia this baboon, even with all your oil in South-South nonsense, 20 richest men with oil well(if at all there is any naija deltan that has oil well) in that your Naija Delta can never stand shoulder to shoulder with 1 Igbo business man in terms of wealth. Who cares if you join the struggle or not? Keep fighting for pipeline security, while your Housa masters keep acquiring all your so called oil blocks.

You might as well come to Onitsha with your entire family let me feed you guys! Hungry baboons!

Chai see as the thing pain. You can do us all a favour n go fall from a mountain top.

Nigeria is indeed Complex.

The hell in nigerdelta republic can be likened to the hell in Biafra.

I will ask you again.... Are you ready to wear those military fatigues and carry the AKs? Its a personal question. Are YOU ready? Do you have good enough motivation to carry that AK and open fire? Or are you putting your hope on a phantom Nigerian army that has been decimated by Boko Haram?

I will ask again.... Are you properly motivated? Are you ready to get inside the trenches and open fire from there? Or are you content with just typing nonsense on Nairaland?

If you're not angry enough to spill that blood, then shut the fvck up! That's the difference between you and the average Biafran. The key word there is.... MOTIVATION

Go and jump from a cliff n stop making noise here. Na online u go take ask if am ready or not. Motivation my foot, going to war be like eating apu to you.

Have you ever asked which part of Igboland was the war fought ? Was it in Enugu Imo Abia Or Ebonyi beside Anambra which state did the federal troop attack.

Ordinary routine boyscott exercise n Ojukwu ran to Ivory Coast with his tail btw is legs, yet you have the effrontery to be making noise. What part of the East did the federal troop invade with battle tanks ? Which of your state was levelled to the ground ?

You never experienced tank war talk less of missile or jet dropping ballistic missile on Biafra land you making noise you suffered losses. You think Nigeria would fight the next Biafra like Liberia wot boko haram war.

Guy go n die I beg. No quote me again o.

You won't do that to me whenever I come down to PH or would you ? @ least you'd consider all the km n bad road I travelled to get to PH now ?

I hope you're getting your AKs and military fatigues ready for when shyte hits the fan. It won't be long man. It's in the air already. Just remember that this isnt 1967 and these generation of Igbos are angry. They seek vengeance... And vengeance they will get!

The generation of your father's n forefathers were more angry and daring. They knew what they wanted and fought for it, killed Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa. The Igbo youths of nowadays are more of all chest beating / noise makers living on their fathers defeated and molested ego. What your lot think You would achieve against those that beat your father's blue black when you were a less cohesive force unlike when had a unified front is what I simply can not understand
