To be honest the lady is kinda playing a devils advocate. But, as for IPOB I think they've got a fundamental error to deal with. No doubt majority of Igbos want Biafra badly, I can say with full confidence that if there should be a referendum today, more than 90% of the voters will vote for Biafra. That said, IPoB should exercise caution and restrain in calling out people who do not share their opinions on Biafra. One mistake I believe Kanu Made was been too vociferous and Maligning, true, on one hand it made the message of Biafra spread like a wild fire (which is something good), but on the other hand it made it look so pedestrian.

IPoB should tackle dissenters of the Biafra discuss with superior logic and not always by name calling. That said I still thank God for the gift of IPob and Nnamdi Kanu and thanks to that also another more powerful group has risen up and this one is a more subtle and power-wielding group based in the USA: [url]lnc-usa.org[/url]

IF we disintegrate, we can still be neighbouring patner countries with them.
Injustice have an expiring date.

I owe you a kiss. Ada baby, to be honest I wept the day I visited Lausanne in Switzerland. I tell you the truth Africa will never recover. do you know that the population of Switzerland is just a little above 7million? Yet even Americans are dying to visit that country. They have the highest salary in Engineering in the world and currently one of the Highest Per-Capita Income, currently I am vigorously pursuing for a work there. To even think that their entire landmass is not up to the size of Anambra state made me sadder.

In all honesty, we Igbos are just wasting away in this nonsense called Nigeria. Tell me what Good the yoruabs or Hausa have been to us? You heard recently that Anambra exported vegetables worth over $5million now tell me again, is anambra state a non-fertile land? So why do we need this so called One Nigeria. Please Pardon me for my too many questions, I want some one that will give me concrete reasons not based on anecdotes why we Igbos need to stay in this damnable republic.

OMAR12:
yea it either restructure or we go our separate way, Nigerians have been way too lazy for too long, it time to milk the intellectual minds on how to harness the natural resources of all Geo economic zones.

We don't need to restructure anything, we just need to go. Lets for once get settled on this fact that there is no communion between Christians and Moslems. I challenge you; have you seen any country with an equivalent proportion of Xtians and Moslems? How's is the social welfare of such country. My Nigga, it is past time we told ourselves the truth, let every one answer his or her father's name.

Afterall weren't we practicing regionalism or restructured economy before the war? If that is the answer to our problems then why did we fight a civil war? Note it that nothing can ever work in Nigeria except full disintegration of this corrupt mass.

To be honest any militant group apart from Niger Delta Avengers in the SS is just a bunch of rabble rousers. Please be properly guided.

stonemasonn:
The Igbos are great and intelligent people in fact Igbo man can turn sand into gold anywhere in Africa, but their main problem is clannishness, and you know this breeds distrust and suspicion among their hosts. The Igbos should learn to be more liberal and open when they are outside Igboland especially where they seem to be progressing more than their host, I said this will avert unwarranted suspicion leading to hatred and jealousy....further to pogrom etc. my 2cent.

You've just made half sense. Let me agree with you that the Igbos are clannish, which BTW in my judgment is not bad. However, why will Igbos change there ways? Is it just because you said so, and if that is the case who are you to counsel us? How has being clannish prevented Igbos from making great exploits. Well, at least if you must know every tribe, race, or people on this planet earth has something good or bad about them and if being clannish makes us bad SO BE IT!

Aigbofa:
If you don't want anything to with some people you sever all relationship with them regardless of whether they have a seaport or not.
You can't come online to claim you hate Yoruba and that you don't want to have anything to do with them yet you troop to Yorubaland in your thousands everyday.

That is the reason we are fighting to leave this damnable republic... I hope you now get it, and By the grace of God we will get it. And moreover this assertion that Igbos troupe to Lagos everyday is another bare faced lie. In all my life I have visited Lagos only three times and I dont even like the city for anything. Well that is a discussion for another day. I want you to know that this generation of Igbos are more determined than ever and thankfully all that we lost to the civil war have been recovered and we are now back to continue with our agitation.

If you notice you would have seen the unmitigated alliance going on between the SE and SS, this alliance has not been seen since independence and what you have now is to tell you that something very big is cooking, so get prepared!

Another fraudster is about to cash in on the biafran sentiments again just like kanu did making thousand of pounds in donations while lying he has the support of 80 countries and yet he continues to languish in jail hopelessly. The chest beating is not my motive here. If you are not down with the unification of the south, leave this thread. There are sensible igbos like agbaworo who will gladly accept the southern unity. Joe igbokwe is doing fine in lagos as well

Well you can call it whatever thing you wish. De truth is dt IPOB is still doing very fine. And no Yoruba group can ever equal what IPOB has achieved

Aigbofa:
How many Ekenedili Chukwu buses landed in Lagos today? And you still don't want to have anything to do with them?
What if you want to have something to do with them? Your entire village will be on their way to Yorubaland

Mr jack, true there are a lot of Igbo coming to Lagos, but that doesn not tell the whole story. Why are they coming to Lagos? Not because we have anything to do with the Yorubas, but because we have no seaport in Igbo land, and also because Lagos was at a time the capital of Nigeria and a lot of economic advantage was pumped into it. But that should tell you what the Igbo spirit is, despite all these we still want to be left alone.

You don't care about politics yet your people rant the most when an appointment outside igboland is made by buhari. We are not here to discuss biafra because it's against the rules of the forum. All we need is civility and deliberate on how to unite the south

Mr jack stop talking tripe: we fought a civil war single handedly for almost three years and started all over again with just #20, yet we have rebuilt all our damaged infrastructure, that even the most recent world bank report of 2016 put the poverty index in SE as the lowest In this damned country. So we didn't whine over having lost a civil war it is common appointment which if you check most of them are just for individual aggrandizement - is what we will be bitching about. No one cares about the appointment of Buhari, we only laugh at you guys for being so cheap and being used again by the fulanis as little Tom who never learns anything.

This is why you people will remain politically irrelevant if you don't have a change of mind. It took buhari yoruba's intervention to make him president after 3 tries. Yoruba's supported GEJ when Turai and the northern oligarchs refused to swear him in. Underestimate the influence of the yoruba's at your own peril. No need for name calling, we are here to make peace

I don't need your peace. Pray tell me which area of life is the Yorubas more advanced than the Igbos, is it in the area of academics, science, sports, entertainment or what? Tell me which tribe has represented Nigeria better in all its international arrangement, tell me any notable figure Yorubas have produced which Igbos have not produced ten times over. I repeat we don't need Yorubas for ANYTHING. I hope you get the message and begin to fasten your seat belt.

You people keep overestimating nonsense. I ask you, did Yorubas support obassanjo in his first term? Where did Yorubas support lead abiola? What about Yorubas support for your thin god awolowo, what happened to him? In an election where six tribes participated and only two tribes voted for a particular candidate, tell me how in the world is that candidate going to win. Man stop this nonsense. Not now and not in a million years will the Igbos ever agree to have any sort of partnership with the Yorubas or even the Hausas, and that is because we were never meant to be.

For your information a more powerful organization has taken over the quest for the SE/SS independence, it was inaugurated in the USA, and right now they are trying to raise money to influence the US congress to pressure Nigeria into conducting a referendum for the lower Niger people, so if you thnk we are still debating with IPOB, you better wake up and smell the coffee.

Divided we fall, United we stand. Been left alone is why the igbos have been unable to produce a president all this while. If the east unite with the yoruba's, we can break the political monopoly of the north to our advantage. Igbos need yoruba's and vice versa

I don't know how many times we will hammer dis message into you people's skull. De last thing on the mind of an Igbo man is the presidency. Igbos by nature could care less about politics, we are gifted in business, hard work and intelligence, these alone are more than enough for us. What we care now is getting our Biafra which as things stand now we are etching closer it. We are heterogenous in all its leanings, we have a mono religious background, we've a definite geography, we've a range of fundamental beliefs like the sanctity of life, we believe in one man one wife, i.e. We practice monogamy, so what in the world do we need an aliance with the Yorubas whom according to our judgement are the most confused tribe in the world.

The Yorubas are neither Christians nor Muslims, they are neither polygamous nor monogamous, they are always divided - you can check their voting patterns to understand what I mean. To be honest I see no reason why an Igbo man will ever dream of having anything remotely to do with Afonjas.

There's no Igbo-Yoruba rivalry anything. The fact is that we igbos don't like the Yorubas and we hate associating with them. To us we see Afonjas as nothing but some lazy nitwits. I just told you the whole truth, don't let anybody deceive you!

Sweetlemon:
Oh shut up!

The Afonjas don't live in the ND so they won't be the ones feeling the impact. You should worry about your own generation getting wasted in all this hate. You should be thankful they even care enough to educate you.

What lecture topic is this one: Oh I see 'We are not Interested 101'... hahahahaha. Shame!

Afonjas over to you!

Whose lands are they destroying?

Let the Afonjas come and tell us the environmental implication of what they are doing..

eshietIntrepid:
Nnamdi kanu did not divide any igbo race.

The only set of people he divide are the politicians in igbo land that will not want biafra actualize becuase of the token they are getting from nigeria state.

God bless you!

@Biafman, who are de people you refer to as Afonjas?

ITbomb:
Let me book my space before the environmental experts from the Waste come and lecture us on the ecosystem

ayzTIGER:
but we werent expecting our armed forces to point a gun at close range to an innocent pregnant woman either

That's it! Buhari is just setting this country on fire... I know for a fact that Buhari will see to the full disintegration of this junky entity. His acts are becoming unprofessional and 'toutish'. If he wants Tompolo's head nobody is stopping him from having it, but why harass and intimidate his associates who may not have anything to do with him. Dis was how de fool resurrected the defunct militancy in the ND and in all these glaring instances his followers will cheer him up. Not many people understand who Tompolo is, and not many people understand that if Tompolo goes back to militancy not even the so called Ayiri will be able to stay in any state in ND for a night.

I know that by now Tompolo would have begun mobilizing his forces, and about to wage a costly war on the FG. Just having Tompolo stay as a fugitive in his kingdom is even more than enough harm to him, why go the extra length of harassing and intimidating innocent civilians?

Tompolo should stop this nonsense and fight for once as a lion he is. I don't know what he's expecting from buhari - an olive branch? Nah! I tell you de only thing this govt understands is a reprisal. Had Fayoshe and Malaye, not fought back worse things could've happened to them. The harassment on Tompolo is simply becoming unbecoming.

And who cares?

Gutter thing. I won't be surprised if you're one of those Nigerians hiding at the blast of any police siren for fear of deportation. I know your likes, serious and productive Nigerians in the state all live within the New England axis. I actually have a friend in Chicago who told me how dead the town is, or maybe you got yourself an akata just to be able to earn $10/hr. Just hit me up, I want to mess your life -up big time in the states.

Idiot.

Tkester and Luscabalo, you guys have to stop. Please don't desecrate this beautiful thread.

And BTW Tkester, what will you gain if you mess someone's life up, because of an online wahala.

Please let's be mature.

Chiwude:
Okay, I'm beginning to understand the whole scenario better. At least better than the cowardice picture we've been led to believe all the while!

Common, think about it this way, how do you think there will be a fair fight between the community and herdsmen and their will be no casualties on both sides. Even if the herdsmen defeated the community (which I can say with full confidence that it can never happen) the herdsmen will also sustain countless casualties, but to tell me that a whole community was attacked and no one single herdsman sustained any injury or at least died, then something must be fishy.

I was discussing with my friend two days ago over this incident and he said 'this kind of thing can never happen in Anambra, Enugu people are too dormant'. I told him no sir, you can't be too sure, this is not about which people are dormant or not, this is about a war being declared against a people. You should know that the Fulani herdsmen are acting with full cooperation and coordination with the NA. The police gives them all th information they need and they carry out their attacks with confidence.

So, the idea that it can never happen in so so and so place to me is amateur. Yeah, it cannot happen anywhere in the Igbo land - if the fulanis are acting by their own power, but what makes the difference here is that the Nigerian army is abetting them, and that is why our people need to be on alert, we shouldn't trust the NA or police to give us security, instead we should begin by setting up indigenous vigilante group backed by state laws which can guarantee our security, I can bet you now no community in Igbo land is safe.

Ok, take for example, didn't you remember sometime ago when the Abia people held a protest against unlawful invasion of their land, did you remember what happened to them? Where they not arrested and tortured by the NA? How do you place that, that fulanis were rampaging people's land and when the victims protested they were beaten up by the NA. This is to tell you that the Army is complicit here and we are at war.

The basic thing to do is for us to know hat we are at war and begin to make all necessary preparations as people who are at war, let stop all these political correctness and once tell ourselves the truth, buahri has declared war on the SE and SS, and we should give it to him. It is best for use fight and die, than to be killed for nothing. And knowing this is the reason why I will never support the APC govt, and I keep laughing at the igbos who cajole Nnamkdi Knau, well only time will tell. Today it is us Enugu Uzo Uwani,maybe tomorrow, it will be Mbaise imo state.

Just be vigilante!

Chiwude:
How were they caught unawares? How can people who got prior notice of an attack suddenly became caught unawares. Why didn't the youths of the community mobilize themselves to forestall the attack? Tell that your cock and bull story to fellow weakling as your Governor. If it were in the past, the youths of that community would have been publicly stripped naked, flogged and banished. What insolence?
A group of fools saw signs that some nomadic herdsmen were planning to attack their village, rather than arm themselves and lie in wait, the coward efulefu's all went to bed early and pretended as if nothing would happen. If I may ask, how can a handful of herdsmen come to a community, kill, rape, pillage and overpower agile grown ups in their ancestral land. It's unheard of, especially in Igboland for that matter. Ew! Chineke ekwele ihe ojo. Inshort, that area should be ceeded to the middle belt, I am beginning to doubt the genetics of those weaklings.

Chiwude, there's something you're missing. First, you should have inquired how these attacks were carried out. To be honest these attacks couldn't have happened if not that the attackers where aided and abetted by the Nigerian security apparatchik, apparently acting on the orders of the president.

Let me ask you, what do you expect the community to do when they heard the rumors that they will be invaded, as a responsible people they took the matter to their community leader who in turn complained to the governor and police men where sent in, naturally the presence of the police assured the community of security, so they had not cause to be cautious, but to go about their normal business with confidence.

The police knew the herdsmen were coming and so they gave way. The village bell was rang at about 3am, the villagers of course thought everything was normal (after all they had police presence) and were coming out for meeting only to be ambushed by buharis brothers. To be honest their was nothing those people could have done. Eventually, when they got momentum and mobilized themselves for a reprisal against the fulanis only then did the Army and all other security apparatchik came calling just to foil their attack.

When you look at the nuances of this crisis it calls to mind the ceasless claims some of us have been making since aeon that there is a plot underway to Islamist Nigeria by Buhari. What we should be thinking now is not placing blame on innocent people who have died, but how to stand up to the wicked Plot of Buhari and his murderous military, because to tell you the truth defeating the herdsmen is the easiest thing any community can do, but unfortunately these herdsmen are abetted by the Nigerian military.

One way we can achieve a consensus against Buhari and his murderous ambition is to keep enlightening our people on the dangers of buahri and his wicked ambition and the need for us to stand up strongly against him. I have no single doubt that this act has the impramatur of the president.

Abagworo:
W

What did GEJ do about it for 6 years he held sway?

That is not true, you're a liar. This never happened in this scale during PDP era. These Fulani herdsmen suddenly gained traction because their man is now the C-in-C, what was obtainable in he past i.e. During GEJ era was skirmishes between herdsmen and farmers. But never has it been heard that the herdsmen invaded a community in Igbo land by 3am. You can lie to yourself for all you can, it's not going to change a thing.

Thank God this happened at a time ICC is in Nigeria investigating the many crimes Buhari committed and is still committing.

SW, you guys should stop consoling yourself with these useless cliche "can't igbos stand alone?" We can stand alone and we have been standing alone, but off course we have a lot of our kith and kin in the SS. When you were conspiring wth the NW and NC to vote in the dullard where you standing alone?

Just manage your affairs, we no longer need you. You can form all the alliances you want with the north, we could care less. Better begin to think of how to coalesce your agendas with that of the fulanis, because we in the low Niger south are no longer interested in whatever agreement or considerations with you people. And I thank God the generality of Igbos are beginning to see you guys for who you are.
