Nnamdi Kanu and his followers are always making noise about Biafra. They claim that Nigerians hate Igbo's and dont want Igbo's to leave Nigeria.

The same kanu that installed hatred in their hearts also claimed that buhari offered him Biafra with 5 igbo states and he refused. Claiming that he wants to take Igbo's in the SS along.
The same SS states have made it clear that they dont want to be part of Biafra.

Its just like you asking yoruba's to have their own nation, and they claim they wont go until benin republic agrees to go with them. Because there are yoruba speaking people in benin.

If truly this biafra that is to be founded by criminals, touts and fraudsters will be the best country in the world, why didnt they use 5 igbo states to set example?

By the time the turn SE to dubai, SS will beg to be part of Biafra. But because they are more interested in the donations that come from agitation, they keep telling stories to maintain donations.

Now, if truly Igbo's want Biafra, the first place this discussion will start is at the national assembly. That is where those representing Igbo's will present their case for secession. That is where they will tell the Nigerian government that Igbo's want to leave.
Now Nnamdi Kanu who is promising this Biafra is friends with Abaribe and Orji uzor kalu. Both of them are senators, but have never mentioned Biafra in the senate.
How can you want a country, and your friends who are in the senate are not talking about the country?

This is the reason why international community does not take the agitation serious. They know that Nigeria is a sovereign state, and if truly Igbo's want to leave, they know which channel to use.
Its like going in front of the british or American embassy and be shouting " Give me Visa".
And when someone passes and tries to tell you that you cant get VISA like this, you attack the person. Call him Saboteur and burn his property.

You keep shouting that the British and Americans hate you, thats why they don't want to give you visa. Meanwhile, you have not applied for VISA.
Then your leader asks to pay money into his account to buy microphone and more speakers, so you can shout more. That the more you shout the closer you are to getting VISA. The people keep paying to his account and shouting outside the embassy.

They tell you that 90% of Igbo's are in support, but they use guns and fear to intimidate Igbo's to obey their "ORDER" . Biafra has not come and they are already giving order and enforcing it. What now happens if it comes?
Imagine the UK standing outside the EU and shouting that they want brexit. They can shout for 100 years and will still remain in EU. Because EU will only take them serious when the matter is deliberated in their parliament and voted upon.

Biafra has not been discussed in the state assembly, talk more or federal.
UK that wanted to leave EU, focused on developing their place enough to be independent. They did not destroy their country, hoping to build it when they leave EU.
In igboland, the reverse is the case. IPOB is destroying igboland politically and economically, hoping that they will rebuild it after it is raised.

Its just like someone who is living in a bungalow, desires to live in a duplex. He does not consider the cost of building a duplex, so he demolished the bungalow.

Only to find out he can't afford to build a duplex or bungalow. He built the bungalow when cement was 50 naira a bag, he was making his calculation based on 50 naira a bag, today a bag is 4000. At the end of the day, he neither has the bungalow or the duplex.
The same SS kanu claims it is because of them that he rejected Biafra, are not doing sit at home or protesting his arrest.

Nnamdi kanu knows that Biafra is a scam targeted at Igbo's. If truly he believes that SS is part of Biafra, how come no SS member is a Director in IPOB world wide limited?
How come all the commanders of ESN are Igbo's from the SE?

Why is ESN only operating in SE states?
Today Igbo's are lossing out politically and economically[/s].

[s]If you like call me an igbo hater, i don't have one hate against the igbos.

I will just like to correct some things about igbo commercial strength, first and foremost the igbos so called commercial strength start and ends in lagos, if the igbos think they are good in trading then they haven't met a hausa man.

Northern history is all about trading, when other tribes were busy running naked, the hausas were busy trading and importing and exporting goods thru and from countries as far as saudi Arabia through the deserts.

The sad reality is most southerners who praise the igbos for their commercial strength haven't traveled out their bubble in lagos. If they have, they would have know that for what every commercial activities the igbos does, the hausa man does that in thousands of fold.

Is it transport business, electronic, spare parts, etc, just think about any business, the hausa man does them too.

I think most of you should go and read about northern history in trading, everything about the north is trade, that is why you will hardly see a hausa man being idle, he must do one trade or the other to survive.[/s]

Sunday2021:
mention one state where you can not find igbos. Does that mean every state is Biafra? If you have igbos in Rivers state and they want Biafra then they should relocate to their 5 red mud states. Same thing apply to igbos in KANO and Lagos.

michelz:
Most of the people who commented are not even from the so-called South-South.
They are just a bunch of ignorant village folks who know nothing about history.
South-South has a notable population of Igbos. You can not wish that away with propaganda or stupidity. If you decide to form a South -South republic or " Niger-Delta " republic with several ethnic groups it has, well, ok. Just know that Igbos would have a great population in it.

BluDesk:




Well. I laugh when clans, tribes, states fight over oil and gas. There's oil in my direct father's household and I turned from visiting them for a day


I believe there's a lot to live for. However, I will never agree to any deal that impoverished the people. The economic system where weather is taken from the state and given to oligarchs and millions of people would be suffering needs to be re evaluated. Even if the oligarch is from that state. It's hi Tim to empower the states and the state in turn empowers the people

If state controls say 20% of the resources on their domain, they will create jobs and pay well. Talking about 200,000 to 500,000 additional workers to its civil service.


This is a better strategy to build the people and the host community. Not all these nonsense I see where abokis own 87% oil Wells in regions that isn't theirs


Igbos stand up and protect your interests

FreeIgbos:


The person you quoted committed what is known as fallacies of hasty generalization. I don't think there is any plan on ground to cede more Igbo territories outside SE, on the contrary, they are actually working towards moving some communities in Rivers State back to Imo State. Again, there is a strong clamour by indigenes of those Igbo speaking communities to have their own state and it seems the federal government is trying to help actualize that by adding some communities from Abia and Imo States to it and then make it the 6th Igbo state, thus bringing SE at par with other regions.

It seems to be part of the schemes to assuage Igbo feelings of marginalization and reduce clamour for Biafra. The North is actually morbidly afraid of Igbos breaking away so I believe they will try to do certain things to pacify Igbos going forward instead of trying to exercerbate it.

PROUDIGBO:


The injustice against Ndigbo is glaring and obvious! I’m from ONELGA (did a short stint at the Agip facility at Ogba), and know hydrocarbon rich the LGA is, but there’s hardly much on ground to reflect these riches!

When i say Ndigbo has given ‘one Nigeria’ more than it’s got back in return, this is exactly what i mean! Just imagine all the wealth Alaigbo has, yet you hardly see much federally enabled development! Rather, those in charge from the late 60s to date, have concentrated development and projects more in Lagos (with Ogun benefitting by its proximity), Abuja, Kano, Zaria and Kaduna!

It would have been different if those our resources have benefited acknowledged as much and showed us appreciation! But instead they abuse us and call us all manner of names like nyamurees, flat-head, 5 percenters, etc!

Any neutral can now appreciate why i so despise this fucking country!

OfoIgbo:


You are quite correct with regards to the bolded.

I have written severally on this forum that Ogba-Ndoni-Egbema LGA and Oyigbo LGA are the two largest producers of onshore oil in Nigeria.
Both LGAs are Igbo speaking.

Now that militancy is gradually creeping into Igboland, I can guarantee you that the whole gas thing won't go the same way as oil. Igbos will make sure that they are not cheated this time around, and will even make sure they have an overwhelming lion share unapologetically. Igbos are not minorities and can be quite militant if the occasion calls for it. I think the Nigerian government is gradually realising this fact.

PHPdeveloper200:

ok because that guy is a mild chronic Igbo hater.

Back to the topic, I believe that what happened to the niger Delta won't happen to the south East especially now that there is an armed resistance in the region. Igbos are not a minority.

I suspect that the so called boundary adjustment going on in imo state in the name of recovering imo state oil Wells from Rivers State is an agenda to cede the oil and gas rich communities in imo state to Rivers State.

that was one of the earliest thing that the governor did immediately after his inauguration.
infact, that is why uzodinma was made the governor of imo state

Rodwave:
He cleverly avoid mentioning where it was discovered. If it were to be in any of those useless unity beggars states, he would have mentioned the state first before taking about any other thing.

OfoIgbo:
Gas in Igboland.

Igboland now has way more than 90% of Nigeria's gas reserves.

The SS and SW has the rest, so Fulanis can go and drink their cow urine to generate their energy

Freestainworld:
Where was the gas deposit discovered? You will find out, it will be in the southern region, but when gold which the north is mining now was discovered, they kept it to themselves, till today apart from northern states, no other state is benefiting from gold, hypocrisy.
