There is one thing an Igbo man is known for; it is the zeal, determination, focus at which he goes for that object of interest to him. He does not sit somewhere and wish he had it or wish to have it. No, he goes out for it. Depending on how dear it is to him. He would rather die trying.

The posture the federal govt is taking is only achieveing one thing: radicalising IPOB and her sympathisers.
The movement has gone beyond Nnamdi Kanu.

If it is imperative that one gains access into a house and the key you have, (which is supposed to open it) for whatever reason refuses to open it, the other option left to you is to burst that door open, you can mend later.

Referendum is the key to the door to peace in this country, Nigeria, as it stands now. If the FG chooses to ignore that, then...

I guess when he (Nnamdi Kanu) said 'we will sink this country' he was taken for a joke.

.

This is my personal opinion . . .

Then let it remain personal!

If they did not witness the war, their parents did. Their senior brothers & sisters did, thier uncles also withnessed and fought the war. The Biafran aggitators of today are living with these people. They feel the pains and hardship their parants, uncles & aunts, seniour brothers & sisters felt those war days.

LadyFiona:
Which way Nigeria ===war mongers and propagandists.?

After the burning yet the tree beside it is still standing with green leaves?

...And I ask, what is Ayim said to be sponsoring IPOB on?

T-shairts? Posters & Flyers? Pure water the protesting crowd drink on the way as they walk? What exactly is he sponsoring?

How do we reason this low in this country?

Ok, assuming he is sponsoring any of these, what harm can any of these cause to lives and property?

Why is Buhari yet to ask and find out and arrest those funding boko haram from within?
What search and rescue operations has he and APC initiated on the rescent kidnaping of some girls?

You're talking trash!

Who forced who to carry flags? Where did you get that information?

Who has been doing all the shootings? IPOB members shooting themselves, is that what you're telling the world?

That a people chooce to be on their own, how does that pose a problem to you and you're kind?

Does you're Buhari think he can arrest and lock up someone indefinitly?

If your Buhari wants peace, why did he throw away the report on the last confab? Is he saying that no single resolution in that report is worth implementing?

You and your kind that are preaching, have you risen up to condemn the incarseration of Nnamdi Kanu?

If the reason for arresting Nnamdi Kanu is for his hate speaches, then Buhari needs to submit himself for arrest because he said worst things and they came true. He also need to arrest many northerners guilty of same.

If the reason for arresting Nnamdi Kanu is for asking to be free, what crime is there? Why would your Buhari encourage self determination of other nations and deny the one in his country?

Need I go on?

Front page worthy!

Reyginus:
Lol. It has to be done in a very smart way. But that is bad and will only calm the agitation for some time.

I've thought about this over and over again and realized the current system cannot hold Nigerians together. Maybe resource control will try. But like this, it's doom.

Inject him abi? In otherwords, poison him to go and die abi? How so intelligent you are!!
Prolonged holding of Nnamdi Kanu is already fast erroding peace and you are here suggesting state killing.
Let me remind you that Nnamdi Kanu is not MKO Abiola. The peace you have now in this country will vapourise.

donphilopus:
This guy always wanna be in the news even if it's for negativity. You challenge your Governor openly to be in the news? You challenge your President as well to be in the news? You do everything possible to always be heard! It's high time you kept shut.

Is he saying the truth?

Very astute!!

If PVC Cards are meant to work only in the region for which it was registered, how come he voted and elected in Lagos and can still vote
in Kogi?

How did the PVC card reader read Faleke's card in Lagos and also read it in Kogi, and both readings accertained genuine?

Or, does Faleke have more than one PVC card? If so, again, how possible is that?



* some people are just programmed to scream 'wailer'

Dinocarex:
I have listened to the supposedly 'shock news'... I have made my reservation and I made the observation.
1. The caller already set the record button before the other party picked up. (Meaning he had intention of blackmail)... You could hear the MTN caller tunes
2. The caller was majorly during the talking while the Alhaji was only correcting or accertaining it.
3. The caller brought most of the topic up... The Alhaji was given no time to speak or respond.

My verdict: The tape was poorly staged managed. It was to gain the emotions of the IBOS.
I can even say some people acted it.
How can you be supposedly talking to a Big Man Alhaji and you can hear children crying beneath the call



.

Listen to it again. It was the Alhaji man that did most of the talking. The Yoruba man was only agreeing to some points and correcting some points even though he (the Yoruba man) did not object to the evil plans of the APC to be visited on the Igbos.

** Now, for those "We Southsouth" people, did you notice how the Alhaji man, and by extension, the notherners, saw Jonathan as an Igbo man and was not able to differentiate tribes?
To my "One Nigeria" Igbo brothers, I just de look una. Day of reckoning is coming.

Segadem:
Civilian rules is not meant for Africa, just imagine these jobless youths causing chaos, killing innocent soul just because of one person.
are they now saying that Kalu Nnamdi's life is more precious that the life of this lady that was wasted by the protesters?

This will never happen in military regime.
No one I repeat no one can defy the order of the head of states

RIP to the dead.

Did NADECO protest during Military regime?

Was there Radio Kudirat during Military era?

Were there violent protests from the southwest during Abacha's govt?

TechRev:
@bolded, Go join the family meeting close to you. Thats what Radio Biafra instructs.

Ok. Will do that.
Thanks.

Some here are asking if Biafrans can be as deadly as boko haram tha adopts suicide bombings.
Biafrans don't have to adopt suicide bombing to inflict devastating damage to this country if push comes to shove.
Many are just looking for reasons to vent pent up anger. Some want to avenge the killing and maiming of their beloved ones. Some are living with and seeing their aunts whose breasts were cut off by the nigerian soldeirs in the civil war and parents & relations with amputation, anger builds to a point of rage they just want to avenge. Some lost their goods & shops destroyed in Lagos, kano, etc. Above all, we just want our peace and an atmosphere of equity and love; and if this can only be gotten through arms struggle, so be it!!

There is a reason for calling this country a zoo.

I used to wonder if the threat from IPOB about burning this country down in the event the situation degenerates to arms struggle was 'chest beating' as the Yorubas say we Ndigbo do, till I got in contact with some IPOD insiders. I'm wiser now. I don't easily get excited, but this got me awed.
This country will indeed burn if this agitation is not managed properly.
It takes nothing to release Nnamd Kanu.
It is only wise to call for a genuine discussion so as to foster healthy unity of all.
Other than this, is tantamount to a kid playing with a cigaratte lighter in a barn full of dry straws.



IPOB members in Aba and Owerri, add me on 33193B3E. We can meet in person and/or have bbm group chats.
It gets to a point in a man's life he takes his destiny in his own hands.

kingzizzy:
Whenever I see or hear an Igbo man talking about how advantageous it is to remain in Nigeria over having an independent homeland of Biafra, I feel like am looking at a pure bred morron. I recognise that everyone is entitled to their opinion and I do not expect all Igbos to be agree with Biafra. What I do not understand is why people who have the benefit of hindsight and are currently witnessing the immense economic and political suffering of the Igbos in the British contraption called Nigeria but is still excited about it. How is it that any sane person can look at Nigeria currently and retrospectively and say "Nigeria is the best thing to happen to Igbo"? We Igbos are known for going into the mouth of the lion and making success there. We Igbos have gone deep into Yorubaland, deep into Hausa land, deep into Ibibio land and made success in those places. But it is in our own homeland of Biafra that someone thinks we can't make success? I laugh in Igbo

There is no going back on Biafra!!!

I'm so with you there, brother!!
It beats my imagination too.

This could be likened to a scenario where some brothers find themselves as prison mates in a prison for a reason they are innocent of. Some brothers are fighting to leave the prison and go home and be free and chat their lives, but you find some other brothers saying, "No we don't stand a chance in our homes where we are free to live our lives, rather the prison is better".

Very intelligent response!
GOD Bless you, OP!!

Wish I could see you and have a drink with you and reason more on our Biafran project!

All Hail Biafra!!!

Oh, really? ... How about Diezani?

I love this man.

The picture with a white and blue colored bus is not imo.

Those pics posted by the OP were taken on Douglas road, Owerri.

NNPC does not have to give out the cylinders for free. In fact, they should not. It will be grossly abused. NNPC can sell the cylinders at N3,000 for a 12.5kg cylinder. Then, reduce the price of re-filling gas by up to 50%. This, I suppose will acheive greater success in the policy of making Nigerians use more of cooking gas than kerosine or firewood.

This is why they call us chest beaters. Imagine any idi0t can now poke his ugly fingers into our Eyes and walk away and we do nothing!!
Just imagine, Aguleri of all people!!

If a dog doesn't show it can bite, it will be called 'toothless'!

Nna nawa o

I'm glad this is just an opinion, more so, from one person. Not a collective decision of Ndigbo. Seriously, if this is coming from Nwafo Igbo, with all that has been going on in this country, then is really worrisome.

You got a sore that has refused to heal. It first started on the surface and you assumed is like other wounds. Then it starts eating deeper into your flesh. You have started applying treatments to it but it seems to be defying your medications. Sometimes the face starts drying up and you think you're winning, then all of a sudden, it opens up again in renewed vigor! It is beginning to eat into the bone and causing a lot of ill health to the whole body.

Now I ask, wouldn't it be wise to cut off and cauterise that part of the body so that the rest part of the body can regain health?

Reason for my analogy is this,
Please, if boko haram if fighting because they want their Caliphate, wouldn't it be wise to oblige them that, so that this senseless and endless bloodshed can stop?!
I don't see any act of cowardice in this preposition if this will bring lasting peace on both sides. Then, people from that region who wishes not to be part of that Caliphate can be integrated into Nigeria (what's left of it).
There are so many uninhabited large portions of land in the Northern part of the country the Nigerian government can give them to start a new home, new life, new community. At least, is far better that way and be alive, than be dead or live in bondage.

This way, you have succeeded in having all boko haram minded people isolated in a region.
Then, if afterwards, there ever comes an attack whatsoever, from the Caliphate, you now know who to fight. You now know its an act of war. This time, you can employ every arsenal you have on them. Kill everything that moves in that region. Who knows, you may even regain/annex that region again.

missKiffy:
Catholics why do you seek forgiveness from a priest instead of from God

I don't know the Bible many of you read these days in these New Generation Churches that forget to preach about true Christian life, but spend precious time discussing how Catholics worship. Whoever told you your Church is even doing the right thing!
Have you ever come across this in the Bible you read:

...
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

So, the Catholic Pope and Priests were actually given powers to forgive sins. See verses 18 & 19.

Was GOD naïve to have handed the Church over to Simon Peter ?!
Simon Peter (St Peter) became the first Pope of the Church, which of course is the Catholic Church before the Anglican Church sprung up and ever since other Churches who claim to see the Light clearer have been springing up!

Eluwilussit:
Ndi igbo should respect themselves. You knew what was coming and that's why you refused to have anything to do with the bigot. Now you have been vindicated. This is no time to wail. You lot should be proud of yourselves and hold your heads high. Don't go begging Buhari.

Pull your resources together and govern your region with whatever you get. Show the rest that you can truly stand out and shine, in spite of Buhari's skewed governance. The SE rejected Buhari and didn't want anything to do with him. So one would expect some disgruntled individuals from the SE & SS to complain, but I don't think Ohaneze or any other Igbo representative should beg or wail. Their warning has come to pass.

Well spoken, bruv!
