Not exactly sure that asking for 100% of resource control by each geo-political zone amounts to attempt by one ethnic group to dominate the other
I don't know how Nigerians make up their logic at times.

Asking Yorubas to leave north is only a mere advise and it is called being wise. It is left for whoever want to risk his/her life to continue living over there. You are so immature and you don't worth a serious minded person's time.

This country has never for once behaved as a nation and the behaviours of our so called representatives is, to say the least, appalling. Even if the derivative formula is pegged at 50% and other mineral deposits in the country are exploited, no state, I repeat, no state would look up to others for money. All states would be sufficiently funded. This country is so blessed and it remains a paradox that our leaders are focusing only on petroleum. Right from the time of Abacha, there has been a Ministry of Solid Mineral Deposits but till today nobody knows what they do in that Ministry. Gold is being exploited in South Africa, in Ghana and in other places on commercial basis yet we could not partner with the companies that are engaged in this business to come here and exploit ours too. Same for so many other mineral deposits like tin, iron ore, uranium, bauxite, limestone, talc, gypsum, lead, zinc, bentonite & baryte, bitumen, coal, kaolin, columbite, niobium, graphite, marble, thorium and gem stones like sapphire, ruby, aquamarine, emerald, tourmaline, topaz, garnet, amethyst; zircon, diamond, almandine, garnet, amethyst, and flourspar. In fact the minerals are too numerous. One thing that God has also done is to ensure that most of these minerals are the purest quality so much so that Nigeria's petroleum is so pure that its called sweet crude. If I may ask, what then is our problem that we keep on hammering on petroleum like fools?

mikeansy:
I dont know where u got that statistics from.

I also think you need to sit back and ask yourself why your idea is yet to work?

I also wonder why you have failed to mobilise your 99% to take up arms against the Nigerian state.

Politics is a game of concensus building not tigbuo zugbuo, we are not in Ariaria Market.

Why can't you post without being abusive?
Any change in Nigeria's political landscape today can be achieved only with he support of those you come here to abuse. Why you don't get this simple reality really amazes me.

You need to reduce your anger and understand what Biafra means today.
I have told you this so many times and you just can't get it. Ojukwu opted for secession when he thought the security of Igbos was no longer guaranteed in Nigeria. He did not succeed then simply because the alliances needed then expecially internationally and at the UN where not there.

Britain and UK in their first act of unity during the cold war era supplied the federal forces with amunitions not available in the East.

In this day and age not sure anybody in the East is talking about Secession. People are rather talking about devolution.
Even though Ojukwu was elected President when he ran for President he would not have attempted secession so why you thinks its of any use coming to the internet abusing everyone and misrepresenting the wish of the Igbos in Present day Nigeria worries me.

I think you need to chill a little bit

@ Bialegend

You write as though its only Igbos that get killed by the Hausas. Those bastards kill non-muslims and non Hausas including Yourbas.
Why is it that it is only you Igbos that clamour for Biafra? Yorubas have warned there people in the north to leave or they are on their own if
they refuse to come back home. Why don't you guys do the same? Besides, Yorubas invest alot in their own region while Igbos don't do the same.
You guys rather go to invest somewhere else. I can bet you, if you get biafra today and the friendly yorubas as usual decide to be lenient with you, Hausa will not be, and you will lose your investment in the North.

I don't even understand why you guys blame all your problems on others. If you guys think Biafra is your solution, you can get lost because I personally don't give a damn about it. Afterall, you guys will still kill one another trying to select a president and before long IMOs will complain of marginalization and that may start another clamor for secession. Retards

olabukola:
Do you people think the ibos never thought of this issue by now? They lost all after the civil war but today they compete at any level in Nigeria.
That their Biafra is more important to them than houses and shops. If Nigeria can't let them do biz they will take their biz to other afro countries.
Then Nigerians will go to Biafra to buy . Think of the humilation we will get in this case.

biina:
It seems Bialegend feels they are going to eat their cake and have it.

If Biafra secedes from Nigeria, they would no longer have any interests or influence in Nigeria, and will be treated like any other African country (if not worse).

When Biafra emerges, we will indirectly have influence on you nigerians (what ever it will remain by then) as we will be better off more than you will ever be and you will need us more than we will ever need you. In that situation, it will be "give and take" and our give to you will surely be more than we will ever take from you and that is where we will hold you in "blocos" to treat our citizens in your country with respect. Rich countries does that to poor countries and Biafra will definitely be richer a million times than all you you nigerian countries put together.

Your ability to maintain businesses in Nigeria would be at the discretion of the Nigerian government, and, if all the allegations are true, I doubt they would be accommodating,

So will your abilities to maintain businesses in Biafra will be at the discretion of the Biafran government, and by them, we shall see who loses out at the end.

The influence of the developed countries comes from colonization and the differences in the level of development. That would not apply in the case of Biafra.

Lie, lie and lie. Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy didn't colonize any country in Africa, but they weild extreme  influence on you Africans because you are poor to the core and can't stand them to test. Biafra will be rich and have same influence on you. If you doubt it, then support Biafran's quest for independence, but i guess you can't because you are afraid of rich Biafra weilding her influence on your poor arsss country.

Every country reserves the sovereign right to kick out any foreigners from it shores and even allowing you to have an embassy.

Some countries dare not try kicking out citizens of rich countries without proper and reasonable excuse because of the consenquences from the rich countries on their poor arsss. Poor countries beg to have diplomatic ties with rich countries because of the benefits and Biafra's case as a rich country will be the same.

The most you can do is to in turn ban Nigerians from Biafra, any thing else is simply an implicit declaration of war.

That is if you ban us first, then we shall retaliate. More over, there are more severe and effective means of dealing with a poor soveriegn country than declaring war on her.

I am looking at the Map of Nigeria and I really cannot figure where you need this extra state inserted. Come on!! Another state will solve the ibo problem? Do Ibos really need another state? What next? Should be the Ijaws demand they be given the same number of states as the Ibos? The Midwesterners as well?
Gosh!!!

@bombay

For how long will you want this your true federalism? Since the past 40 years we are all talking about true federalism but those that will make it happen never listerned to us. Now they want to build trans-sahara pipeline from the gas that comes from ND.
Look my friend demand for your own Niger-Delta country. I sincerely believe that my people is what keeps Nigeria one which is not good for us and our next generation. If ND can come out open like the ibos are doing and demand for soverign country i truely believe something meaningful will come out of it. All the time We keep laughing at the ibos but they know what they are doing. How can we be serving people we are far more better than. It is high time we demand our own country also let the hausa's answer Nigeria. Its no longer getting funny.

Ijawman:
You are a bigger fool if you think Biafra can influence anything on Nigeria where they are not citizens. I used the Ghana example to show what will face Biafrans in Nigeria. Igbos have been marginalized and slaughtered in their own country by northerners and Igbos have really done nothing about that. I wonder what they will do when they are slaughtered by northerners in another country (Nigeria). You fail to appreciate my advise and instead take to insults. I wish you luck.

"We are appealing to the Nigerian government to give this matter the urgency it deserves because Nigerians are passing through severe difficulties in trying to make a living in Ghana.

olabukola:
Why time bomb? Is it not One Nigeria again?
Why do you people keep on foolling yourselves all the time.
You shout one Nigeria all the time when the North want to use something from the south you shout time bomb.
What is the meaning of that "One Nigeria" if the north is not entitled to benefit from the south and vice-versa.
Igbos want to go we refused them, Hausa want to gain from Us we shout marginalisation,
What do we really want in the union.

Its either we keep to One Nigeria and take things anyhow the northerners gave it to us or we stop complaining.

Ibime:
hehehehe. . . . MEND would soon start paying those poor Niger nomads to blow up that pipeline. . .

generalzango:
biafra my foot,u guyz better stop dreaming.

Ijawman:
Bialegend where do you live? I live in the US and I have lived in Europe for several years. I know that you cannot own a property unless you are a permanent residence (or citizen) of many countries. May be its different in in Nigeria but when Fasola brings in his buldozer to remove all properties as he deem fit, you will have to sue him at the world court. Abi? You guys better take time to think through bfore rushing into this again. I am for liberation of oppressed peoples but you have to sit and ponder over stuff.

Ijawman:
You cannot own a property in a land you are not a legal resident (by which I mean a citizen or permanent residence). Take that to the bank; it is a blank cheque. You are an ignoramus and if people like you are the ones championing Biafra, then I pity the course. Igbos will lose big time.

kegikwanu:
thx for your views, but the question was not yoruba, hausa, ibibio or E.T,
who can from our igbo politicans grab it at the root and bring a change

I read some still proclaim on biafra, well I somehow do too but where are those that can represent?
I mean an icon, a man with visions and idols,

Dis Guy:
are the views of igbo on this forum the same as those on the street of lagos abuja and kano?

btw have you applied for a biafran passport, what colour is it?
