Lol. Wetin concern Biafra with Lesotho? Any Igbo man that things the way you do simply argues that Igbos can't govern better than those that have been running Nigeria. Tell me one good thing Nigeria has excelled in? Impostor
Gerrara here men!

If there was something special about igbos governing better. It would be evident in the east by now

Seerade029:
But the truth is, If biafra exit.

The the whole country will dissolve.
Everyone will go to his or her way.

But, if biafra prefer to be like Lesotho, then I can say it's not advisable cos the disadvantages are more than the advantages.

The grass is not greener at the other side.

The if Biafra exits Nigeria will be no more might just be a speculation u know.

What if it happens and Nigeria remains?

Ipob u guys need to read this, to run a country is not by fantasy, at a point in time reality will hit u, that the grass wasnt greener on the other side in fact there was never any grass there was just a mirage

Seerade029:
I'm not getting you clearly.
Explain why biafra is not viable??

Theres no difference between Biafra and lesotho.

If I start listing out the disadvantage of Biafra it might exhaust me.

But just observe that Biafra and Lesotho are small countries similar in size trapped inside a bigger and richer country.

Do u know that Lesotho is so poor that its armed personnel as a whole is not up to 4000.

The country is so fvcked to the extent that they have been pushing for south Africa to annex them as one of its states or regions. Because to them they see no reason being a country

Must we wait till we fall victim to the same mistake that's irreversible before we get wise?

So many people dont realize how powerful Nigeria is, thanks to our population and the system of government we practice, ensures everybody is carried along.

Can u imagine that the moment Nigerian sponsors pulled out of Big brother Africa, that was the end of it.

Nigeria has single handedly held its own Big brother over and over again and we are about to do another when alot of African countries can't even hold one, even the Ghana and Rwanda a lot of u always talk about havent held one before, even south Africa discontinued theirs. This alone tells u that Nigeria is a very viable country.

The amount of money Mtn and Dstv makes in Nigeria alone, is like 5african countries combined.

Anybody who says its our population should know that Democratic Republic of Congo is one of Africa's most populous countries with over 120million people yet they don't come close.

Me personall I know that if not for the wasteful Years of the military regimes, if our democracy had not been truncated, by now I am not sure even Egypt would come close.

And some people want to leave this Gods gift to us to go and suffer... Una never know wasup

Seerade029:
I've added you to one of the reasonable Igbo guys on Nairaland.


Unlike tbag hammerp.

Well, I think all governors are exploring their mineral resources In their respective states.

A quick check on Nigeria Stock Exchange, you'll see the minerals.

Then I've been to Sokoto b4, there land is not that fertile but the way, mineral resources is been extracted there is massive, apart from their Hot Sun.

Same to Jos.
Yeah, you guys import alot which you'll need large market to trade.
Well, majority of my Igbo friends don't subscribe to biafra, cos of what they stand to lose (Their business)

The business is not the issue, Biafra is not viable.

Its going to end up like another poor African country.

Imagine leaving the giant of Africa, that single handedly ended the sierra Leone wars, and Liberian civil war, when the western countries looked away, so u can become another poor African country. Just because u want to carry a different international passport.

And the passport will be worst than the Nigerian passport I bet u, except my people over night change their ways

Nice move. People like Akpabio can't steal freely again

Burna boy don find trouble o.

Na Davido get Lagos o, make them no beat am o

afube:
do not talk like an uneducated person,what is relevant that people will come back with knowledge and skills, they will come back with economic and social demands that will need satisfaction like food ,shelter and clothes.....that will be the initial challenge but therein lies the new opportunities for growth. for Nigeria it will be a loss of economic demand and supply.........so it will not be easy for them also......!!! what follows will be trade negotiation based on the reality on ground.

Finally I get a worthy oponenet to discuss this, since you claim to be educated...

All these knowledge and skills, since they exist now, what's stopping these people from utilizing it to develop the east?

Economic and social demands that will need satisfaction, like food, shelter, and clothes, amongst all these things I dont think the east is a producer of any... We are a marginal producer of food, therefore we would be heavily reliant on import diminishing our foreign reserve, shelter we only have one limestone deposit at ithink Enugu, what's stopping our leaders from utilizing it? Most of the textiles used to produce the clothes are sourced from North.

We are at a disadvantage here, this disadvantage will become very visible after the break up.

That apart the east is not known to really produce we are more of an entrepot for the rest of Nigeria

Ezennwa:
hmm!

The federal government should assist them na.

What happened to all the monies contributed by Nigerian billionaires

Other states used their own monies to set up labs, what's stopping them from doing that

Funny. They don't have testing labs but they are getting cases, how did they know the patients have corona virus, if thy never had the land yo test them.

It turns out David ibiyeomie was right after all Nigerian corona virus is a scam

oyatz:
If resource control is implemented SUDDENLY in 2020, it will lead to national crisis.


Only about 12 States will be able to cope (the first 5 largest oil producing States will do very well).

About 24 States will face serious economic crisis that each State will reduce it workforce to just about 1000 people.

There will be massive emigration from Most States into Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Ondo,Lagos and Imo States in an unprecedented rate while many citizens from Osun, Kogi, Anambra, Enugu, Kwara etc will find all means to leave the country, even if it's to Togo, Cameroon or Ghana.

Lagos, Rivers and Cross River States will demand for 'Financial resource control' of revenues from their seaports.




After about the first two years, the Governments of each non-oil producing States will start imposing heavy taxes on the few items that their States produce for the oil producing States e.g the smallest cattle from Kano, Katsina or Yobe State will be about #300,000.

Eggs and Timber from Osun State will become very expensive.

Yams from Benue States being sold in Rivers or Edo State will be like #1000 per tuber.
Ondo and Osun States will go back to Massive cocoa Farming.

Kano, Katsina, Sokoto will commence massive cultivation of Cotton, groundnuts, Onions, Tomatoes for exportation.

Corruption and crimes rates in the non-oil producing States will reduce drastically because money will be so scarce and the electorates will transfer alot of aggression onto their Governors and politicians.
90% of the Governors will not win their re-election.

Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB will become less popular and Biafra agitations will fizzle out.

Gov Wike will become more dictatorial and proud to the extent that he will suggest that fences will be erected around the boundaries of Rivers State and other oil producing States will support this suggestion and will want to try it.

If the inconveniences are well managed with maturity, after about 5-7 years, we will all get over it and the country will be better of it.

If the inconveniences are not well managed, it can lead to change in Government or even civil war/disintegration.

All u said here u didn't mention anything of how the igbos are going to survive

oyatz:
Biafra will NOT be surrounded by Nigieria as there will not be any Nigeria again.

Nigeria can not break into just two Countries- Biafra and Nigeria but into several smaller Countries.

What if it doesn't what will u do about it?

bigfrancis21:
It is actually estimated that less than a million southerners lost their lives during the civil war. Igbo land actually lost more numbers to slave trade (over 1.4m) than to the war but yet were still the most populated southern tribe for several decades after the slave trade.

Reason it was like that was they used to group us all together, both eastern igbos and SS Igbos were counted as one body

Women get problems I swear. Since these girls left the house na fight to fight to fight.

I no even sure if any of the bbn guys get time for any rubbish

hammerP:
In politics, no permanent friend, just interest.

The North will not hand Yoruba another 8 years, on top of OBJ 8 years and Osinbanjo 8 years.

Any right-thinking person knows this.

They cannot wait that long.

That means Chibuike Amaechi don hammer

hammerP:
Go and read about Afonja and illorin.

Read about Awolowo.

Read about Abiola.

The masked man in Aso Rock is not Buhari.

But I heard Nnamdi KANU is dead

hammerP:
Coldie let me tell u wat is going to happen 2023.

Tinubu will be offered another Vice position to ElRufai.

If he fails to accept.

The North will field Tambuwal from PDP and retain power.

Yoruba is a problem in Nigeria and that is y they should return to Benin and Togo, where menstrating women of Dahomey can behead them as they did before in battle.


Hausa and Igbo will reach a gentleman agreement and power will rotate.

Buhari go leave Yoruba's way support am, rotate power between Hausa and Igbo's that have been insulting him since day one. That didnt vote for him?

Listen to yourself

hammerP:
U are Yoruba, stop denying your father.

Did u think for a minute i believed you are Igbo?

I am one of the hardest to convince here.

I just decided to engage u in this discourse.

A leopard can never change its spot.

From the minute you typed i knew who u were.

Make una stop o. Stop disgracing the Igbo tribe.

That's how u guys carried this childishness to twitter, if u dont brand other igbos afonja u guys will say the person is Fulani..
LoL

hammerP:
Afonja, i was happy to have this conversation with u.

Now, u have gone dull.

This is y i said, Igbo can saty in Nigeria without Yoruba.

Hausa, and Igbo are straight forward people, no games.

Yoruba are disingenuous.

E no concern me now as I am not yoruba

hammerP:
it is wat u see live.

Or are u blind?

But 4years ago, u guys said Trump will grant you Biafra, 4years later u are saying Trump will when he gets reelected. I dont understand?

Is it the same Isreal that was giving pallatives to Muslims today in either Abuja or Lagos that you are banking on?

Una eye never clear o

hammerP:
[s][/s]

U should know the meaning of an indigeous people.

It means am not your brother.

It means this alien is disturbing me from the enjoyment of my land.

This is wat UN understand by Indigenoius people of Biafra.

Unless Trump fall this 2020, Britain might be able to help Nigeria, otherwise, Biafra is going to deal very badly with Nigeria and at the end exit.

Provided Israel and Natayahu are there.

We are not scared of the ZOO.

Is this what Nnamdi KANU told u... LoL

Una dae try o. To listen to this degree of rubbish and not see the lies

hammerP:
Mnay of you fail to realise that before Sudan division was negotiated, UN peace keepers had taken up border post in South Sudan.

Wen we see your Almajiri arriving Igbo land we just they laugh.

Any nonsense, both them and Nigeria Army will be fired live.


By day break they will see un peace keepers because their matter is already on the table both in New York and Europe.


ICC President is an Igbo man, so that makes it even more interesting for us.

ICC President is an igbo man so?

hammerP:

Do u know why Sudan was broken up, d circumstances there and here is not the same.

The whole world wanted to put an end to the crisis, one of Africa's longest civil wars.

That's what moved the hand of the powers, that's not same with Biafra, can we fight a war for 10years and not surrender?

hammerP:
Biafra is more popular today than when Ojukwu fought a war that cost 3 million lives in the 1960s.

Everybody knows Biafra, even those not alive during the war.

If u think that is not cause for alarm, try to cheat the Igbos in little over 2 years time and see.

That is if we get there as one Nigeria.


With the way things are going, UN will deploy soldiers and divide Nigeria before then.

UN will deploy soldiers.


Make una no go die for nothing o, UN does not deploy soldiers to fight any battle, all they do is humanitarian things o.

Una go die finish if una dae wait for them.

Na only Ecomog be una only hope and na Nigeria be the ECOMOG lol..

rummmy:
by magic or miracle?

By magic and miracle. The west is bound to be more populated than the east.

hammerP:
Self determination is our right.

I like the stubborness of black people.

I know it always lead to tears on all side, las, las.


Biafra is resonating all over the world.

Take it for granted at your own peril.

As far as igbos like me exist, Biafra will continue to be a mirage

hammerP:
Yeah, united under the herdsmen sword.

Its better to be united under a herdsmen sword than not to be united at all

hammerP:
Nigeria we no see.

That is wat will end it.


Wen the North wanted to leave we appeased them to stay.

They must allow the Igbo get a sense of belonging by producing the Next President.

I like to think of Biafra as the long stic, if anybody tries to take the carrot.

When the north wanted to live u appeased them to stay... LoL dont make me laugh.

U dont get Presidency through blackmail, that it will be given to u to appease u, if u get Presidency through that door, u won't stay past 4years. Since it wasn't born out of general support

Igboid:
I don't like the direction this our discussion is going.
The diversion is becoming too much.

I am saying its in our interest to shelf the Biafran pursuit

hammerP:
Who are this North?

We have North as in Kano.

We have Middle belt as in Abuja.

The North is not one.

The north is more united than the south u tell u this

Igboid:
Because we want Biafra does not mean that while we are Nigeria, we wouldn't demand for our rights, equity and fairness.
Don't get it twisted.

Who in this world will take u serious.
If today u say u want Biafra when things don't go your way, then tomorrow u say u want presidency.

Don't u think the people who can grant u the President, will be pessimistic about it, cause maybe to them they think u might use it as a ploy to get the Biafra.

Thereby denying us our right ultimately and we loose out on both sides.

Presidency we no see, Biafra we no see
