Do join him in providing the PROOF that Allah was mentioned in the Nigerian constitution let alone 5 times and Jesus not been mentioned.

You are full of hate.

Hate, Bigotry and Hypocrisy are Nigerian Christians

Ermm... kindly remind me what Sharia law is again!!

Kahujadekadura:
.
1. Why should how constitution bear a name of Allah upto 5times but has no name of Christ.
2 Why should Sharia law be applicable in a multi religious country.

You shouldn't have responded to that one, he just demonstrated that he knows next to nothing about Nigeria.

sufferNsmiling:
Yes war is bad but most countries after the war they develop at alarming rate just look at rwanda. Kigali the capital city of rwanda is top 10 cities in africa to live in. Kigali airport is number 2 airport rank in africa. Look at angola angola is raking in twice more from its oil than nigeria over 100 billion us dollar from its oil every year. If it wasn't for war where will europa america and britain be today. Another good example is japan where would japan be today if it did not take part in world war 2. The main problem in nigeria is the people are lazy stupid and illiterate they will prefer to die for a criminal which can do nothing for them

You don't even need to take it that far. The current crop of politicians we have are imbecilic criminals. Just make a scape goat of one of them and see all the others fall in line.

Educating? By inciting Nigerian citizens not to vote (they are still Nigerians), knowing full well that when you don't vote, you don't get to decide your fate. By inciting them to violence? By encouraging mass disobedience and shop closings that directly affects their livelihood? Then leaving them to die/ be imprisoned/maimed while he disappears when the expected military response came? Did he contact the families of the dead? Did he leave small change for their children? Or are they just necessary casualties in the ambition of a few?

No friend... by educating I mean, using all that money for buying the arms we saw being displayed last time he was around to build schools, give them real education, work with existing state governments to push the agenda, build industries.

We've already tried internal strife... millions died. We don't need economic destabilization - millions will starve and die from lack of food, medicines, clean water - which is what happens when a country is destabilized.

We've had enough strife and civil wars on this continent - the more recent ones in Rwanda, Liberia, Senegal, Sudan, Cameroun, Congo, Ethiopia, and the never-ending one in Somalia (just to name a few) have not fundamentally solved anything. All sides have their justifications for escalating the violence - just as Nnamdi does - but the only thing that happens is Western powers make money from selling weapons, providing "aid", creating news, and buying depressed commodities, all the while ordinary Africans (civilians and military alike) suffer. Nnamdi will for sure head out again once things get too hot.

We can continue blaming arbitrary borders and amalgamations and use those as justification to continue killing ourselves. Or we can grow up and learn to be diplomatic and work together.

You really don't understand Nigeria do You? Name one of Nigeria's current crop of politicians that won't cave in when his/her life is threatened?? Just one!!!

Also, each of those nations you mentioned are at most one fifth of the population of Nigerians. Economic destabilization alone will trigger such response from both western powers and neighbouring countries that whoever is president of thus nation would be forced to change stance. What we've recently witnessed is a relatively very short recession and the country started shaking. You remember what happened when the Niger Deltans sabotaged oil production?? That was just a single point of failure that sent shivers down the spine of Nigerians and forced the nation to a round table with militants they threatened to annihilate.

oyatz:
There is nothing bad in asking for a different country in which your real and imaginary enemies or competitors will NOT be members, its just that IPOB's method can't work and its unnecessarily heating up the polity.

Nigeria can be splitted to at least 5 countries if we are serious.

What you fail to understand is that no method has till date garnered as much support and momentum as NNAMDI Kanu's approach to this (with the exception of Ojukwu of course). Do you know the global reach of this agitation?? Just Google 'IPOB in "country name here"' and see what I'm talking about.

bless1015:
OK continue.but when u get sabotage again. don't come n shout betrayer again oo tnx.

Oh, so you knew there was a betrayal the first time and you were acting like the the South was never a part of Biafra?? Let me tell you something, the southernmost part of Biafra has come the full circle, realized their mistake, and have made amends that's why you won't hear any of their top warlords speak against the Biafran agitation. That's why they aren't threatened by our quest for secession and only bothered that they may not be properly represented AFTER achieving Biafra, and want certain assurances and great progress has been made with regards to that. They have also shown such loyalty to the cause that till date, the Nigerian Army still can't figure out how NNAMDI Kanu left the country. Such is their dedication to this cause.

nextstep:
What is this nonsense? Until oyinbo came and told us about the existence of Jews, which Igbo cultural history mentioned anything or anybody from that side of the world?

If anybody can show me evidence of any kind (artifact, oral, writing) before 1800s that any Igbos practiced any kind of Judaism, I will take their claim serious.

If somebody makes the statement "Igbo are the Jews of Africa", I can sorta understand that they're talking about their indomitable, egalitarian, adventurous drive that leads them to unparalleled success in host communities; this makes them the envy of others and can lead to persecution. But to claim any cultural affinity - that's a bridge too far.

We are not Jews, never have been.

I admire Israel and fantasize that Biafra - free of retardation from Nigeria (particularly the radical and oppressive elements in the North) - could be a small, highly successful country if it models the innovations, hard work, and diplomatic smarts of Israel.

The best way to achieve Biafra is something this young Igbo man summarized here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG3rATOtoMs?t=1607
"Africa Today Show". Jump to 26:47

My take: Instead of raising money to buy weapons and exposing our youths to violent response from Nigeria, spend that money educating and indoctrinating youths to believe in Biafra, so that when referendum comes, you'll have people making smart choices. When you go to UN to make your case, there will be justification. Biafra will be won with the pen, not gun. We tried the gun in 1967 and millions died as a result.

That said, something's up and I don't like it: isn't it all too odd that
1. Israeli gov't said "we have no knowledge of the guy being in our territory"
2. A few days later he's on Isreali TV giving an interview?
3. He says he's returning and will bring Hell with him? With Isreali weapons or what?


*notice I didn't say all North is bad... just those radicals and the elites who continue to hold their people back in the 14th century.

See this guy ooo!!! What the f*uk do you think NNAMDI Kanu has been doing all these years if not educating our generation about Biafra Note also that a referendum may not be possible if the arm of the Nigerian Government is not forced on multiple fronts including but not limited to diplomatic pressure, internal rife and economic destabilization. Nigeria is not your conventional nation. Until the lives of the elite are threatened like in the case of Ebola, they would not budge!!!

sarrki:
Can you imagine ?

A fool is supporting a terrorist

Hahaha!!! A terrorist that has not killed anybody, is that one a terrorist Sense wee not kee me!!!!!

bless1015:
Oga.my respect to u sir.ur the only one that has spoken my mind.the kanu is not wise at all. until he seek support from the traditional leathers of South South indigenes i will not take him serious. let them keep assuming. i be Ndoki man. in Rivers State.so i knw what I'm saying. they have not even gotten 50% of our ppl support not to tlk of other indigenes from South South.

You, and all these non-biafrans should keep quiet and stop exposing your low level of reasonability. Do you people even sit down to ask how Nnamdi Kanu left Nigeria? Do you think he would have done so successfully without aid from people in Rivers who know the waterways better than any Nigerian Navy man alive? Do you think that without the collaborative efforts of those people you call South South and Niger Delta Nnamdi Kanu would have successfully left the shores of this country?? You people should stop living in denial and accept the truth for what it is for once!!!

Kiss the truth!!!!

Pictures bro

airsaylongcon:
Question is how to get there. I know Tor (or its Operating System Cousin TAIL) is supposed to get one there. But how do you know what hyperlinks to type or which search engine to use

There are listings with thousands of websites that cover different topics on the dark web.

BiafrodExposed:
The lie is incessant

Don't goan do something with your life you hear. You think the people reading those papers don't know what's up?? They know much more than You!! Better spend your time doing something meaningful abeg.

Bros don't die before your time over Biafra mata ooo!! You better goan do something better with your life instead of fighting an agitation that is older than you. You are very funny sed. I just dey laff your tone "Which time did President Trump..." That one was so funny I started laffing.

AnanseK:
Instead of staying among us and continuing to insult us and our leaders why don’t they show that they are serious by widrawing at least temporarily from some of the Nigerian State machinery, National Assembly , Executive Council, Military, Police, Judiciary, University Leadership, NYSC, Immigration and customs services, civil defence etc. if they do that for only one week we will all know how serious you guys are. No body, I repeat nobody will waste his time organizing a referendum for your half-hearted and disruptive requests.

Haven't you been listening all this while?? Your FG would deploy the military to force their hands!! Or why would a thinking government deploy the military against a SIT-AT-HOME ORDER!!! For what exactly?? To force them out of their homes

FreelanceRebel:
Really!
Insulting other without cause will make your drive your point? SMH
The last paragraph actually makes you childish. You dont know the next person on the other end of the line.

Just be guided

Haha, I'm definitely guided, that's why I respond how I do. It's a golden rule to not give wise answers to foolish questions, but if you must, respond in a manner that's shows them their foolishness. If you see someone willing to learn, and knows he doesn't know about the topic of discuss, you will know by their comments, and will respond in an educative manner. On the other hand, when an idi*t doesn't know that he doesn't know, and goes about bragging about what he doesn't know. The only way to educate such person is either by breaking open his head, and stuffing knowledge into it, which is impractical, or tell them the bitter truth with a heap of insults. Believe you me when I say this, that's the only way they can actually learn something useful.

TongueFaces:
wirinet you're a zombie



bot101 don't answer the slowpoke again

Definitely won't!

Donelli:
Fifteen pages of comments and none has actually addressed the concerns Nnamdi Kanu raised about a whole region being suppressed economically.

What one can deduce as the root cause of all these mudslinging is FEAR.

Not fear of military action, NO.
Not fear of aggression, NO.

Thesame baseless fear the ancient Egyptian elite had of the Israelites which made a certain Pharaoh decide to oppress them as a means of eliminating whatever "threat" they posed.

We all know how it turned out.

I just came across this interview link below:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_odAy4rVz8

The Igbos are (arguably) the most nationalised tribe in Nigeria. Some claim (rather laughably) that they try to dominate any location they move to. I'm not sure what that means but what I have come to understand is that this sentiment is the outcome of the continuous reinforcement of ideas sold to the host communities by a handful of aggrieved individuals and it has now become a pandemic.

I know for sure that an Igbo man is more interested in profitable commerce than tribal or religious affiliation (otherwise he won't even leave the confines of his environment in the first place) but this current wave of attacks has led to what has been happening in the last few decades.

Some folks who think themselves intelligent argue matters based in black and white, but fail to understand that things are not always in black and white; there is that grey area (shrouded in diplomatic innuendos) which many are ignorant of.

The issues Nnamdi Kanu raised are not unknown to the powers that be, but are akin to a localised economic embargo placed on a region. The SE/SS are seen as core Biafra zones (those of us still living in denial should better recognize that fact). If allowed the "benefit" of economic structures and amenities might become too powerful to control so force them to spread thin, since the average Igbo man is an explorer.

Some of you here blabbing about what you know next to nothing about, not all Igbos are IPOB (fact) but ALL Igbos seek an identity. Do not equate the activities of a group of greedy and self-enriching stooges of the caliphate masking as Igbo leaders to what a sovereign Igbo nation will be like.

Before you type your next sentence on this topic, take a moment to ask yourself...

WHAT AM I REALLY AFRAID OF?

The truth?
A man's bluntness and superior knowledge?
The possibility of losing control?
A people's struggle for freedom that others are to sophisticated scared to initiate for their own people?

People fear what they do not understand, but know you this day, Nigeria was handed over to the Caliphate, they are the caretakers, nay, owners and will do as they deem fit as advised by their colonial masters.

Meanwhile, we can continue living in this illusion of freedom and one Nigeria.

God bless you for this!!! I am quoting the whole post so that more people will see this as it seems most people become blind when closing in on this post.

HEY YOU THERE!! READ THE QUOTED POST, IT'S VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!! WATCH THE VIDEO TOO, IT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT!!!!!

FreelanceRebel:
That doesn't change the fact that the 6 days assult was invasion. Egypt, Jordan, Syria were attack without notice. if it ware to be a war, Both Egypt and Israel Airforce would have being in a Dog fight. But the 6 days assault became a walkover for Isreal as other countries did not prepare for such large scale air attack

When both Egypt and Syria coordinate join fight back at same time, that almost wear Isreal out of Arms, and had to request for Supply from America which turn the side of the war to favour isreal

Later you will tell me to stop using strong terms ba? Look at what you are saying sef!! So if I want to fight you, I should firstly be shouting that I am coming on so and so day with so and so weapons to do so and so ba? Ermm...that's exactly what the Egyptians and their allies did and were routed by a relatively smaller and and poorly armed Israel at the time. Go back and read more about that war abeg.

FreelanceRebel:
The Documentaries are online and YouTube, BBC also published a video documentaries Yum Kippor, it there on YouTube go educate yourself.
It was several months after Israel invasion that both Egypt and Syria lunch attacks on Israel Positions. Syrian from Golan Height and Egypt from Sinai.

And mind you, online discussion board is for communication not an avenue to insult other, kindly learn the Internet ethics

Haha, there was a time I dedicated days and weeks even to study that specific war, it's genesis, and it's aftermath and no, I didn't rely on YouTube videos to do that either.

As for internet ethics, Nigeria's internet space is like their real life space, the only way you can make sure the next person really understands what you are saying is by being doing so in very strong terms, else, like they do in real life, will take you for granted. Read tons of posts on Nairaland, compare with Quora, Stack Overflow, or even Reddit and tell me if you don't notice an anomaly on this forum. I'm only here because this is where Nigerian things go down, and as they say, when in Rome, act like Romans.

Fronesis:
Lol...Ok we shall see what happens to this new development. I don't argue. But I feel sad for you people. Ojukwu was wiser than this guy, yet nothing happened. May God help you people. Wait...do you think there's a country on the surface of the earth that will facilitate the secession of another country? Sit down and think about it. Even US will do nothing about this issue. Go and write this down. I won't reply you but I will find you in the next 5 year's and ask how far? Lol. Ignorance is the greatest disease.

Ermm...there's a nation called South Sudan today, and my youngest sibling is older than it. Oh, I nearly forgot to add that more than 2 world powers facilitated their secession. Learn...live!!

Fronesis:
I wonder if you people think with your anus. So what will Israel do to Nigeria? They will invade Nigeria? Who trained you people? There are so many kids on Nairaland. You think it's like I matter of " I will call my daddy for you"? If you are wise, you will realise this guy has no wisdom. He is an empty barrel. Well, we are waiting for Israel to come and beat us. Nonsense!! Thesame way he led empty heads amongst you that killed many. What did America; giant of them all, has done about it? I am not against secession, only empty fools are afraid to stand alone but please find someone else to drive it for you. This guy is not wise.

An empty barrel that's been pursued with hundreds of millions of taxpayers money ba? This empty barrel must be made of pure gold!!

bantudra:
this doesnt even make sense sef...do you know what El Zakzakky tried....??...do you know what Dasuki did....??

It's not about what they did or tried. It's the fact that the government is holding them illegally. If you know what that portends, you'll know that even you are not safe in this country. It means that once you look like a threat to the government, you can be held without consequence!! As it stands now, Nigeria is not just a dictatorship, it's also in a pariah state.

wirinet:
You were forced into a union, but you were given the opportunity to opt out of the union before independence, you refused. In fact you were the main proponent of One Nigeria. Once you lost out in the power play, you begin to scream bondage and biafra. In fact Awo insisted on a secession clause in the constitution, you (as represented by Zik) vehemently opposed. You have no right to complain now that things are so bad.
As I said push your governors, house members, senators to push for a secession clause in our constitution. The only other option is war.

United Nations cannot force a country to do anything, except the UN are prepared to invade a sovereign state.
Trump has even shown us that any agreement is just a piece of paper, and a country can pull out of any agreement it (or a new government)no longer believes in.

Thank you for corroborating my initial statement. You agree that the constitution (an agreement) is just a piece of paper, and that a country (same as nation-states, e.g Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, you get the drift) can pull out of the agreement based on this statement you made. Do you now see where I'm coming from??

Basher8583:
shame no even catch you. See him admiting it like a confessing witch

Wow!! Your ignorance is uniquely overwhelming!!! I've seen a ton of ignorant men, but none as proud as you. People who travel ARE MUCH MORE EXPOSED than those who don't. Consequently, they become more liberal in their views, and tend to want better living conditions due to their exposure. That's what is happening to the Igbo, and what triggered the Niger Delta crises. You need a re-education walahi!!!

Basher8583:
But you cant fight be fighting every tribe in Nigeria and at the same time want to belong.

or is it like I dont understand your deginition of "Belong"?

The Fulani has killed thousands of Igbos. Have you ever heard that the Igbo killed any member of the smallest ethnic nationality?? Yet you all say we are fighting you. With what abeg??

wirinet:
Can you please tell my how and when you nominated Nnamdi Kanu to represent you? How many people nominated him? Was it by election or selection?

IPOB is not in any position to ask for anything less a referendum. If the igbo political and traditional leaders want a referendum they should know how to go about it.

You guys are adept at comparing egg to eggplant. The EU constitution provides for referendum to leave, the Nigerian constitution just like the US constitution does not. If you want a succession referendum to be included in our constitution, your state and federal law makers have to advocate for it.

Haha!! You mean that because I'm forced into a union (a la Lugard), I can't walk out of that union when it becomes toxic for me just because a poorly written document doesn't say I can (while also not saying I can't, but even if it does, I'm not a slave to no man or paper) eh?? That's the definition of BONDAGE!! Is Nigeria a BONDAGE?? Also, you failed to cite the United nations charter that Nigeria is a signatory to, which clearly says I can leave when I want (I wonder why you forgot that).

Sleekfingers:
It is better you educate yourself first....is this how the Scotts went about it....

Yeah, Nigerian governments are seeing it . As a call for war...because of the way those miscreants who call themselves Ipob are going about it....and they expect the federal government to just sit back and relax....as long as they have failed to go about it in a civilized manner...they remain a terrorist as proscribed...

Are you educated now?

You've proven that whatever little free education you got is a waste. You proscribed a group, and every single world power that you were reported to told you you were wrong in doing that, yet you maintained your position and expecting those same world powers to not see you as being oppressive, and consequently sympathizing with that group eh? For Pete's sake, tell us what this group has done to warrant having their members maimed, tortured and extrajudicially killed by the NIGERIAN ARMED FORCES!! Please tell me ooo. If not for your blinding hatred for a people who are naturally tended towards becoming better than their past selves and parents, you would have clearly seen the anomaly in the FG's approach to handling a very simple matter. Or you think OBJ (way more superior than your current president, both intellectually and diplomatically), would be warning the FG to handle IPOB with extreme caution for talking sake? As I said earlier, GET AN EDUCATION, and stop constituting a nuisance in cyberspace. Peace out!!!

Rstc:
A tribe that runs which forum?
So seun is now a tribe?


You want me to start giving you list of igbo with top social platforms.

If nairaland is the sum total of your technological capacity, you don't stand a chance against the igbo.

Keep calling on the army. That is the smart play.

No mind the guy. Nairaland doesn't make half the money that Iroko TV makes, and you won't hear Igbos shouting Igbo platform, heck, Linda Ikeji makes way more money than NL from her blog sef, she's from Imo state. These ones will be ranting here because we are giving them value. MUMU people.

Sleekfingers:
Good...why can't they set up a meeting with themselves....and nominate who to represent them...then talk with the federal government...of course they are free to demand for biafra...but the way they are going about it . Is not right...

And lastly since they want biafra...they should stop participating in Nigeria politics...i mean boycott anything from Nigeria.....then we will know that they are serious....from what I am seeing not every igbo support this movement.....thats another problem.....they need to speak with one voice....thats the only way.....i even want them to go....because I tired of their wailing and complaining....as if the rest regions in Nigeria are enjoying....

Good luck to them

To answer your first question, we have nominated someone, his name is NNAMDI KANU!!!, and the FG is actively trying to kill him!!!!! As for your second question, IPOB is asking for a referendum because NOT ALL IGBOS ARE IN SUPPORT OF SECESSION!! It's the Nigerian Government that sees a call for referendum as a call for war!!! This is the same referendum Britain did to decide to pull out of EU, and not a single person died!!! I hope you are educated now??

Basher8583:
It is you Ibos we are pitying. Because we will take you back to the stone age all over again.
You will start all over again as refugees.
This Lagos you have been attaching to like tick on a dog will not welcome you again. You cant even show your face for fear of being mobbed.
All your properties spread across West and North wiĺ be confiscated and ocupied by new owners since you are all so stupid enough to invest in your enemies domain.
Face it. It is you that should be scared. Countries that support wars always need something to benefit from. Now tell me what the heck does igbo land have to bargain for war support?
Absolutely nothing.
Same mistake Ojukwu made that wasted the lives of millions of your stupid kind is what you're happy to commit again.

Abeg say something new. Don't threaten us with what we've already overcome. We've been there, done that, and conquered!!! Find something fearful to threaten us with abeg.

A Biafra/Nigeria issue has become an Israel vs Pakistan war just because NK appeared on Israeli national tv. You lot are the real chestbeaters ooo!!! Ordinary Interview!!! If the guy com land with him "hell" Nko?? Cowards!!!

FreelanceRebel:
The Israel were Bitten with Surprise by Egypt. if not for US intervention (and God also), Both Egypt and Syria are ready to overrun them.

The Six day war wasn't war, but invasion of neighboring Arab countries without provocation.

You people like to change history eh!! Like Osibanjo, like you. Is it not the same 6 day war that Egypt and allies were boasting about how they'll annihilate Israel?? The same war that the Egyptians already stationed their air force ready to strike before the Israelis surprised them? You are just a blatant, wicked lair trying to rewrite history and deceive those who haven't read about this event. Your likes are the very reason Nigeria is failing. Seeing white and calling it black. Shame!!!
