Brother , there are basically three ways of claiming citizenship anywhere in the world : by birth , by naturalization and by marriage . Since you said you were born and raised in Mecca, then, you have a right to lay claim .

Pls don't get me wrong, I did not say I was born n raised in Mecca, I only infered.
You might not want to knw dis, but d truth is you are not considered one if u r not one.

Shelumiel:
I thank God that you used the words " support and coordination ". From your post , it is clear that those behind the killings are politically motivated to do so . But does that mean the entire populace is into the habit ? No.

Bro politically motivated or not, 4 parents 2 allow n encourage their ward to perpetrate such heinous atrocity only shows complicity, there are even instances where elders cheer rampaging youth on.

Brother , I live in the north ...where do you live PLEASE? Oh , let me guess . You're a southerner who does not even know where the north is located talk more of experiencing the life here !

I am a southerner born n raised in d north, my father was given birth to in the north, he met n married my mum who was also given birth to in the north, so I can state authoritatively that there is nothing like religious extremism in d north, what you see happening in the north in terms of violence is a testament of who they truly are and they have support and coordination from high places.
I have also seen and heard of a northern man dat told his friend that in the event of conflit, his Christian friend will be d first to taste his blade and truly he did it. I knw u are familiar with this Hausa adage "son kaji ba zai hana mai shi yanka".

Shelumiel:
Put your religious sentiments aside and face the facts here : History is in the past ; so let it remain in the past . This is here and now ; it is wickedness to deny these Arabs of their right to lay claims on Israel . PEACE !

Pls don't get me wrong, I am just wondering if I hv a right to lay claim to Holy Mecca just because I was born n raised there?

What do you know, you that were born yesterday?

You can pick up arms again and lets see how far.

The unfortunate thing is that there are many reasonable Igbos offline who don't know the disservice you guys on Nairaland are doing to their tribe.

Lol....... u just raised a good point that I was born yesterday, which is a testament that you don't know what history is all about, so u don't qualify to engage with me on a meaningful debate about what precipitated the War, how it was fought n d rest. So I suggest that you go and make your own research b4 u come online to embarrass yourself on a kid that was born yesterday, and while you are at it, read about the Abagana massacre.
So stop deluding yourself thinking about disservice coz unlike you, we Igbo's knows what we want and how we want it.
This is d only reply u will get 4rm me

Ojukwu was the first that brought attention to Biafra. How did that go? Devastation in the east with over a million Igbos dead.

Next, Nnamdi Kanu came with IPOB threatening Nigeria with fire and brimstone. How's that going for you? Nnamdi Kanu is missing in action and his people are in disarray. More Igbos have been killed.

What will you try next?

How many Igbos will be killed before you understand that violence isn't the honorable path to secession?

If you start stocking up arms and ammunitions starting from today, it will take you decades and decades and trillions of dollars to get close to Nigeria in military capacity.

You can never ever win a war against Nigeria. Take that to the bank.

But if you think I'm lying, why don't you give it a try again. This time it won't be operation python dance, it will be operation annihilation. And you'll have yourselves to blame.

Go through history books and you will find out that the Igbos gave the Nigerian army with all their military might a run for their money, I can remember one author who quoted Gowon as saying "it is a police action that wouldn't take up to 3 months", but you and I knows how that turned out.
So ascribing invincibility to d Nigerian armed forces that couldn't deal with the I'll equipped and ill prepared Biafran army is the height of stupidity and ignorance

In Nigeria, there is no "gentleman's way" of getting things, Nigeria is not a country of gentlemen. If you want something, you have to be radical about it. That's why:

Niger Delta Avenger took up arms, killed people, blew up oil installations and kidnapped expatriates. The Federal Government rewarded them well with money and amnesty programmes worth billions.

OPC took up arms, killed people, burnt police stations, destroyed properties and killed Police men. They were rewarded with security jobs and their leader, Gani Adam's holds the highest title in Yoruba land


Herdsmen took up AK 47, slaughtered people like Christmas fowl, sacked communities, drove people out. Today, the talk is how to reward them.with billions of Naira worth of investments in ranching.

Nigeria is a messed up country where government only respects violence, it is the only language they understand.

IPOB were the only people who decided to to take up arms, kill people and destroy property like the others did. That's why the government did not take them serious and moved on them. However, I happy they didn't take up arms for what they are fighting for is far more important than what others above were fighting for.


Only IPOB can get Biafra, only them brought attention to Biafra like nobody else could.

You couldn't have said it any better.
