Listen. What obtains in Lebanon, can not be obtained in Biafraland. Different places, different problems. Nigeria's politics is something else compared to Lebanon's politics. Igbo people are different from Shitte Lebanese populace that is of Hizbula. In Igboland, there are lots of saboteurs that are ready to take bribe money from the dungeon's government to work for them to infiltrate any party that IPOB may float and work underground to make sure that such party does not succeed and in the process IPOB will become history.

We saw it happen to APGA where Okoroawusa did the saboteur job by infiltrating APGA, won the election under APGA, and then switched to APC, leaving APGA to be destroyed by other remaining saboteur moles within. IPOB are no fools to thread the same route. Use your brain when dealing with nigeria where there is no rule of law and laws are not respected. Stop comparing nigeria to Lebanon.

The Lebanese didn't follow a template but improvised such. So IPOB should find a way to get over funding issues and recruit people with brain not shouters.
What IPOB is doing is a just cause irrespective of their " Jewish shameful historical appropriation". Should they fail tomorrow, another group will rise within the next 30 years

AlexBells:
How can he support the referendum did you ask for it, is it by asking for referendum in the street and sending misrepresentatives apparently the wrong people are asking for referendum and honestly I don't know whose interest they are truly protecting

They are protecting the interests of those that can't show any symbol of their national identity in public like what we saw in the case of Chinwetalu Agu.

By abhoring the symbol of a particular nation in the shambles of fake Country everyday life, how can someone with pro nationalistic attitude of such a nation survive in the politics of such country?
How can he enter in the first place if he sticks to his nationalistic attitude?
For example, If Peter Obi wore Rising sun in any of his campaign or tour in Nigeria would he be a free man today of inside the prison?

Both of us know the answer to the question above. So for a country that brutally suppress all form of national identity of a particular group like Ndigbo, What IPOB is doing is expected.
It is an open secret that IPOB will only succeed by defeating Nigeria openly in battle field like the Eritreans did to Ethiopia for Ndigbo to be free. It can't be negotiated because Nigeria made it so.

AlexBells:
First of all, stop mentioning Lugard or the Europeans in your whatever misfortune, you guys keep mentioning the amalgamation of 1914 forgetting that each region Of East, West and North got independence differently, if Nigeria breaks there is going to be need for a union to negotiate for peace,

Nigeria is not same with those other empires you mentioned, Nigeria contains more nation that had reached independent city state, I'm Igbo and I can categorically tell you that the first thing we would do in AlaIgbo Republic would be to Annex Opobo but Opobo was always been an independent city state, but today both Ijaws and Igbos have an eye there

What happens to Benin Kingdom would they stand on their own or would they want to annex Itsekiri and won't that bring friction between them and Oduduwans, what about Ilorin, would Oduduwa take them along, won't that be another friction between them and Fulani,

What about middle belt, Ottoman empire was broken via the world war 2 and you don't even see that over 6 million people had to die in that war, you talk about USSR, you forgot the broke up through a coup and that coup window is closing up and in the future Coup would be very impossible in Nigeria because leaders are already very aware,

You are citing examples without citing the cost

First of all, Opobo and Ubani will be settled in the Court if the ijaws have time to waste because it is a lost cause for them.

Second of all, Lugard is the number one problem of what is happening to everybody trapped inside Nigeria because before they created your "West, East, North" nonsense, there were nations and many established and defended their boundaries perfectly. So it is obvious that messing up with such delicate thing gave rise to the existing conflicts we see today. For example, Boko Haram won't have existed if Kanuri was not part of Nigeria because Shehu of Borno perfectly defeated the Uthman Dan Fodio Fulani forces in 19th century.
Herdsmen won't have existed because Tiv successfully expelled the same Fulani.
The Yorubas would have perfectly united themselves or follow the template of the British is the British maintained their lines post paper colonialism. What would have remained is decision on Ilorin Emirate either by arms or by paper.
Ndigbo would have perfectly reformed and embraced their distinct democracy following the abolition of the British imposed monarchy by the same British.
The Bini would have retained their Monarchy.
Ijaw would have enjoyed their peace in which ever way they want. And please this Bonny and Opobo brouhaha started after 1971, prior to that they were proudly Igbo and go with the tag in Pre colonial Nigeria, both politics and otherwise and registered it in the first census, Ijaw land starts and end with most of what Adaka Boro gave in his map for Niger Delta Republic (that is present Bayelsa state).

So you see, Lugard is the problem. If there was no Amalgamation, there won't be need for 7 million people to die in the name of Nigeria.

DeadCountry:
Why are you talking differently today? Where you not among those advocating that IPOB should join the dungeon's politics to get freedom for Biafra?

Join or maintain an arm/mole in it?

I know you've heard of Hezbollah right? The military wing is designed as International terrorists while the political arm is designed as an international political organisation and they make deals with other countries.
I believe you now understand what I am saying. Without a state scaled resources, Hezbollah won't have the resources to be the most funded unofficial government paramilitary arm in the whole world with Ammunitions, logistics etc surpassing most countries in the world.

Abohboy:
The British didn't fight any war to be free of the Romans they were freed when the Roman empire collapsed from the onslaught of the Germans and they didn't fight any war to be free of the Roman Catholic Church either they simply persecuted those who fought against the conversion of the state and in the first place the basis of the separation from the Roman Catholic church was stupid he just wanted a son and the church wouldn't allow him to divorce

What is this guy talking about?
Oga, the Germans were the first to show other less advanced nations like the Saxons etc that make up Britain that Guerilla warfare was potent in expelling the Romans from their land after they did it successfully.
At that time the Germans had no standing military, even most of the tribal chiefs children were part of the roman military holding significant posts.
So I don't understand were your German misconception came from.

From 4th century, that is more than 400 years under Roman direct rule, the Saxons intensified their guerilla warfare after seeing the results of Germans in Germania which subsequently led to the freedom of Brittania.

Need I remind you that at that time, most ruthless commanding Roman Officers were British or half British, eg Bonosus, all under Western Roman Empire.
This explains the confusion of trying to break Ndigbo that some of their brothers are in politics brouhaha

Abohboy:
Wrong. Many Igbos still believe in One Nigeria

Then support the referendum let the vote of the imaginary majority count.

You'll just be typing some things without research. 98% of Ndigbo detest Nigeria like leprosy that's why Green and white is the rarest something you can see an Igbo man wear. Start taking note of it from today.

Idiko1:
Bro, the dude seems to confuse unity with united or union.

These people are the reason why I insult the whole of black people by mistake.
Infact I don't know what I am still doing here with people like this but I guess we still have to enlighten our dumb brothers irrespective of the annoying stupidity that comes from them.

Do you know that the same Britain that is holding them down fought two bloody wars to free themselves first from the Roman direct political authority and second from the Italian (Roman) spiritual authority (Catholic Church) birthing Anglican but black people will always reason through their anus.
Funniest part is that the first one was instigated by a woman. A woman, not ordinary woman, a mother "Nwaanyị ji ụmụ". Though she didn't later actualise it totally but she laid the foundation.

Rubbiish:
It is not an Igbo thing!
Same apply in my place & I am not Igbo!
The bride price must be returned.

Which Nation are you?

Abohboy:
Nigeria will stay as one it's okay

With those that will remain. Ndigbo and those that consider themselves Human beings not lab rats for British experiment will definitely leave in the nearest future

AlexBells:
A united Nigeria is quite different from one Nigeria, a united Nigeria means a devolved Nigeria where each region is free to exit, United means that we have our individual identity as a people while sharing a loose union, breaking Nigeria up instantly could arrive at pre colonial chaos, in the pre colonial time there was war of mutual independence all round, if it happened today the casualties will be massive

Did breaking of Ottoman Empire result in precolonial wars?
Did breaking of Soviet Union result in it?
Yugoslavia nkọ?
Czecko-slovakia?
Ethiopia?

These are actual unions with a degree of consent and direct force unlike Nigeria where the people don't know what is happening at all.
Let me tell one thing, ask anybody that witnessed 1966. Everything happening now was exactly what was happening in 1966 before the coup, The people called for it and alot of educated people like Wike Soyinka defended it. The coup saved Wole Soyinka from carrying out his resolution of turning into a rebel against the Western Government.

Back to the foundation to Nigeria. Lugard reported on voice tape that there was no atom of relationship among the reps as the sat moping each other like aliens. Some don't even know that some particular groups existed. He said it was like a meeting of animals of different species. When the reporter asked him how he intend to manage or does he see any PEACEFUL future for the new amalgamated colony, he answered "That doesn't matter as it will guarantee British interests and profits easier"

Isn't it what we are seeing today, where over 20,000 deaths in the North a year if not reported by most notably BBC but the whole world is more fixated on Gaza crisis that has a death toll of 246
Like he said, it doesn't matter if we wipe each other as far as British interest and profits are guaranteed

Ebi2233:
Kogi state is bigger than the 5 Ibo States, put together, and only Edo state will compete with the whole Kogi state in size.
And Ijaws cut through it from Ondo Ijaws, straight into Edo into Delta into Bayelsa into Rivers into Akwa-Ibom and even the Aminadokiari Ijaws without other tribes entering Ijaw centre while occupying different local government in each States.
You think it's empty space Ijaw use and fill up these areas that are in these states.
And u say Ibos are more than Ijaw how come?

Ijaws are more than ibos.

The entire Ijaw can fit into this section of Main Market Onitsha

helinues:
All your senators, house of reps members, governors should have resigned from their position now if they did not believe in one Nigeria

Isn't that what IPOB is doing with the "No Election" that you criticise?
That is no more fake reps. Na IPOB fit people like una

AlexBells:
I don't believe in one Nigeria however we can consider a United Nigeria

Answer me this question, has Nigeria ever been united?
Look for Lugards voice memo on the first meeting of the reps of the newly created Nigeria and realise that with all due respect, you are looking for fantasies.

Remove Religion from politics and you will have a progressive Nation.
Religion is the simbol of poverty. The rich go there to captivate the trust of the poor in order to exploit them more. And by the rich I mean the pastors as well.
Only Airport launching and they are talking about one reverend.
More than half of the report is centered on the reverend which made most of the imps here forget that almost all of the pictures here have been pasted before except the car Park.

Black Ignoramuses

Iyaebe:
He should return all the sex he had with her too,after that then she will in turn return the bride price.Its that simple.

Its an Igbo thing. As far as the bride price is not returned, she is still his wife whether he likes it or not. On that ground, the woman cannot legally remarry

Walkee:
you said only bastards will accept the name given to them by strangers. By that logic, over half of the world are bastards.
You claim to be Igboid, the name you are trying to call your people is an Edo word

You people just like lying for no reason.
Can you even pronounce the word "Igbo"
Be truthful to yourself.
Can you and your entire people in Ẹdo pronounce it?

Fejoku:
If no one speaks Igbo in your village in Ndokwa East then you can forget about having any extension in Ndoni because there's no single Isoko community in the ONELGA, Rivers state. Ndoni speaks only Igbo just like Egbema in the same LGA. Ogba has some more Igbo dialects that are a bit divergent but is still Igbo. No single trace of Isoko.

She should look towards Bayelsa

OgunLaakaye:
True!

Even Americans, Arabs, Ethiopians and Kenyans are Igbo too.

You are suffering from Gbegiri withdrawal syndrome, go and eat some and you will be alright.
Thank you

Igboid:
Yes. Many words and expressions are being dropped to fit into pan Igboism. It irks purists like OdenigboAroli who gets angry that in Idemili we are now seeing children bearing names like "Chizaram" instead of "Chizalum", "Chinaemerem" instead of "Chinaemelum" etc.
He forgot that down south in Imo and Abia people are now giving their children names like Ifeanyi, Ifeoma, Ifenyinwa, instead of Iheanyi, Iheoma and Ihenyinwa.

I don't see anything wrong here. Take my own dialect (still in Anambra, to show that it is not a state something) for example, we use "Ihe" but right now I have siblings bearing "Ife"
It is funny because we have an old generation "Iheoma" with a new generation "Ifeanyi" in the same family.
Funny

SlayerForever:
I will be honest. Sometimes in my private moments I try to imagine what the Igbo society would have sounded like a thousand years ago. I always imagined that if I were to suddenly appear among my ancestors I would not understand them fully. Or maybe at all. Even many practices I would witness would stun me.

I could tell this would be the case because of our place names which we Igbos of today can't decipher. Secondly, I know for sure languages evolve. Some words are dropped entirely whilst some that never existed are added. Some pronunciations modified over ages etc etc.

Mind boggling!

If you've noticed, the whole of Anambra State is now close to speaking with one dialect

When Nigerian Terrorist Soldiers see women, what they see is special Forces and Commandos but when they see their fellow men like Boko Haram or Bandits (let me not say UGM) they scurry like terrified hens.

Shameless Cowards

Emma1Oj:
you talk like a leader or a die hard fan of Biafra.

I represent the mind of an average Igbo man.

The man asked those people that claim our oil ...how many of them have oil well

That question will hit directly at some people.

Buckeyemedia1:
Last time it was self inflicted genocide, it is said that Fools that don’t know their history are bound to repeat it.

That is all you can show from your own part of the Biafran war.

Let me show you ours because when our men were busy kicking you cowards dried asses in the front lines, you were busy starving women and children the the British we fought against left with you.

Below is the Biafran men of valor that fought their fellow men not against women and children like you Coward Terrorist Nigerians
