Is that why you are so desperate to include Akwa Ibom State in your Biafra?
Come and try again, we will show you pepper this time.
Adiok ano mbio Uneghe.
Useless people.

Even cockroaches now claim Akwa Ibom

Yujin:
You're not correct Mr. An empire goes beyond conquering a people and taking tribute from them. That's my point. You have to look at the definition of what an empire is. I don't have to school people on what an empire is. Like I said earlier, Oyo might have been a great Kingdom who troubled her neighbours but it didn't get to the state of an empire. There's something that differentiates an empire from a kingdom. That is what Oyo lacked. Different nations United under a single person to become a single political unit where all the constituent nations bear the identity of their conqueror is what makes an empire. The footprints are there for everyone to see. Benin achieved this feat everyone can see her footprint all over the lands they once controlled. Where is Oyos footprint in non-Yoruba lands? Non. You'll need to prove these footprints exist to convince me.
I've been trying to get the ebook of Archibald Danzel without success. Can you kindly upload excerpts here for our consumption?

Yet to see your contact through that other platform we agreed to meet each other

Hope all is well.?

It's Normal for you people (akwa ibom) not to remember him because you are scared of being g threatened by Nigeria, you are scared for fighting for what's yours, you prefer being slave to even a stupid man.
Philip effiong (even though he still had the traits of "akwa ibom" in him) wanted his people to be able to speak and be given positions In honourable places, but you know, as usual you akwa ibom and Calabar people have always had the spirit of answering yes madam yes oga, so you don't know what it means to be in authority.

Who told you that he is an Akwa Ibom person.

Pazienza and you need to understand that so many people on this forum fake their ethnicity.

Your reply strays from my original comment and did not counter any claims . I used Anambra and Akwa ibom as examples because the topic relates to igbo state ,not Northern Nigeria, and I love Onitsha Anambra.
I know Nigeria had a civil war a few decades ago, but maybe there are things I'm unaware of . I would like to know how Igbos are marginalized right now ,plus any refutation to my other assertion. I'll appreciate a sound and factual explanation.

We don't want to enjoy the Nigeria again leave us to suffer as Biafrans.

You are free to remain as Nigerians with the Fulani people on rampage

BeachTime:
I'll advise Nigerians to apply critical thinking when making analysis; and it will be appreciated if Nigerians shun bigotry , Myopia and corruption,and build an organized society.
You wanna know who is really cheated and marginalized in my opinion? Akwa ibom,Bayelsa,etc. .I'll use Akwa ibom /Anambra as example.
Akwa ibom generates $13 Billion dollars per year .The money is confiscated and shared by Nigeria to all states and Akwa ibom ends up receiving only $50 million dollars per month or $600 million dollars per year.
Anambra's total internal revenue is $14 Million dollars . Akwa ibom's internal revenue minus oil is $11 Million dollars.
Anambra receives free $20 million dollars from Nigeria per month.
A 1.5 km bridge like the Onitsha bridge length cost $600 million to 1.3 billion dollars depending on number of lanes and vanity features. The second Onitsha bridge cost $600 million dollars. Anambra would not have the money to build the bridge if all states have autonomy and control of their resources.
The Akwacross needs at least 10 six lane worldclass bridges (calabar itu , Oron calabar ,etc. ) all of these would cost a combined $6 Billion dollars . Does Nigeria care about those bridges? Akwa ibom has a natural harbor for seaport . In fact, that very Ibaka area seems to be an international trade point between Nigeria and the central African countries. Does Nigeria care about that seaport? In fact,it won't hurt having 2 seaports in the area with the present day calabar or bakasssi seaport as reserve seaport. Akwa ibom has the perfect spot for Maritime University ,yet that was not converted to university. Even so,it won't hurt if Nigeria has at least 2 or 3 Maritime Universities.
Donald Duke was more qualified to be Nigeria's president ,yet he was nixed . Bakassi(Calabar(akwacross) territory was forfeited to Cameroon by Nigerian government.
Who cares about producing president if you have autonomy and control of your resources. In my personal opinion, I think Igbo have it good in Nigeria than Calabarians,Ijaws and some others.
The above is my unbiased submission. I would like anyone to counter my point with facts and tell me how Igbo is marginalized and I'll kindly reason with your opinion.

If you are from Nigerdelta you are damn stu......

Any intelligent person knows that whatever favors the Igbos favors the Nigerdeltans.

Questioning the marginalization of the Igbos shows absolute stu.....ty

Yujin:
T.Y Danjuma should know that keeping silent will never help the situation. In 50yrs to come, a simple decision like this will be debated by the remnants of the carcass of this evil contraption. What will be the condition of his own Jukun people that time? Gowon is silent too. Same way he's pointing fingers to most Yoruba leaders appearing scared over the present situation of Nigeria is the same way I see his hesitation to speak publicly. I careless about the many evils he has done in the past because I know a lot about what he has in mind and I've been saying them here since. Death and destruction has been planned and are carefully been executed by fulanis in Nigeria. Are Buhari's actions and inactions not visible enough for people to see? I wonder the type of charm used on the people of Nigeria. A supposed intelligent people appearing so dumb is beyond belief. Something is wrong somewhere. Fulani terrorist herdsmen have killed thousands of people and occupied lands that hitherto never belonged to them, yet not even a single herdsman have been prosecuted. It is IPOB who haven't killed anyone or invaded any land not belonging to them that are tagged a terrorist organization. Such misplaced attention cannot be explained.

I really need to hear your stories about your days in the South(Mzanzi)

olaboy33:
What is fragmenting according to you, what system of government does it fall under?..

disintegration or secession.

Yujin:
No vex my guy. I nor know your digit o. I nor dey South again. I don migrate. How ur side?

Where you dey now.?

Yujin:
The writer is very correct. SA is on a downward spiral. Their own PHCN called ESKOM is starting to fail. Generator sales is growing and China is selling big. The funny thing is that ONLY a sensible white SA government can revert the impending failure. The same route Nigeria followed to be at the present doldrums is exactly where SA is treading. Exposed people like the author and the OP have no where else to cry but Nairaland. Many black SA are starting to realise that no one will hear their cries but their fellow black people. But who will help them? This is the big question. CERTAINLY NOT THE FAILED NIGERIAN state. It's a tough world for Africans especially the Blacks. Chai!

How South.?

You no dey try to call me at all.

It is better to handover to a competent stranger your business empire than to an incompetent child

Blue3k:
The only things being debated are more autonomy or federalism. Secession is a not an option on the table. The rebels will need to win their war for that. That's not happening unless they get funding from external power which doesn't seem likely.

Nigeria has a better democracy than Cameroon. Their president for life Biya is proof of that. If they decide to federalize they would be better for it.

There are 2 reasons why US & Israel are working towards the creation of a new country from Cameroon and Nigeria

Ask and you shall be told.

darkwan:
america cant help you.... you want biafra,then you must fight for it....
ambozanians understand that fact better than you biafrans....

Who told you Biafrans have no such plan

darkwan:
nigeria is not cameroon.... completly different matter....

State and explain the differences

JonDon12:
There is a lot to learn from everybody to learn from this. But I think the most important thing is that YOU CANNOT OPPRESS PEOPLE FOREVER..

A free Southern Cameroon weakens Nigeria which is good for Biafra. Buhari and his cabal foolishly supported Cameroon against the Ambazonians and now Nigeria is on the losing side.

However I think we are making a mountain over a molehill on United States involvement. There might not be an intervention. All trump did was cancel trade deals.

Be consoling yourself.

The world Jewry is behind the Independence movement of Biafra, Ambazonian and Christian North in order to create a new Pro Israeli State that can substitute the United States in the event of another Obama led US which saw anti Israeli US foreign policies.

Yorubas reaping what they sow

naptu2:
The chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, has performed the keel laying ceremony of Nigeria's new warship in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. The ship will be a landing ship tank (LST) and it will replace Nigeria's previous two landing ship tanks, NNS Ambe and NNS Ofiom, which were decommissioned 10 years ago.

The new warship is expected to be completed in May 2020


https://twitter.com/NigNavyToday/status/1204049325980082179

Is there any special design or technology that enables LST to land too close to shallow waters without getting stuck.?

LegendHero:
When did Ojukwu take ownership of the eastern region? Does being a governor of eastern region mean Ojukwu control the region?

Do you mean the supreme military council don’t have authority over eastern region 6days after killing Ironsi?

Every military governor prior to July 1966 were in full control of their region

LegendHero:
Can you please provide one source that claimed Gowon don’t have authority over the eastern region 6 days after the counter coup by the northern military officers?

The Coup that killed Ironsi is July 29th 1966right?

Gowon released Awolowo in August 4th 1966 right?

Can you give just one source to claim Ojukwu had control of the eastern region just 6 days after the counter coup that killed Ironsi.

This will be the last time I will reply if you don’t give a dignifying reply with credible sources. I’m tired of going on and off and spoon-feeding grown up men online.

Close your ignorant mouth

Ojukwu was regional military leader before the counter coup and therefore was in control of the East prior to July 1966

mrvitalis:
Not even God can control the Igbo man ...we are the only tribe that pass judgment on gods when they mess up ....we shall always speak for equity n justice


Never has the Igbo demanded more than they deserve never and never would be ....

If u expect the Igbos not to speak when equity n justice is relegated then u are joking

Pls don't use God. Use another example biko.

mrvitalis:
If 2023 presidency is the price my brothers have to pay for rejecting the failure called buhari then its a small price to pay
One thing I regret most in my life is ever supporting buhari I apologize to my friends almost everyday

Be that as it may be south west is not getting it

But you have not apologize to me for always warning you then.

greenmonk:
The aghfanistan tech. why has USA not invaded iran since. you think to fight is the samething as play?
Dont even tell a 4 year old that you will beat him oo because if he decides to fight you he can finish one of your legs with a serious suicidal bite.

Iran is technologically advanced.

obidark:
even at only sea,it will not go that easy.... nigeria has many types of ships that gives them strategic advantage.... sub-marines are not undestroyable....
you insult people and await them to keep quiet....
something wrong with you....

List the ships Nigerian Navy has

PatrickOkunima:
Let me tell you a story. Some years back, I was discussing with a senior colleague, a master warrant officer on a related topic. Here's what he told me, "Patrick, Nigerian Navy are magicians. In 19xx, I was serving on a Nigerian Navy Ship without a functioning engine, and a rumor emerged that that ship was going to Liberia. Everyone doubted this, including myself, but guess what? Not up to 48 hours later, we were on our way to Liberia on peace keeping. From only God knows where, they brought and installed 2 new engines, 3 generators and other equipment the ship needs."

All these statistics you quoted up there are important, but are not the only factors that determine who wins at war. Population of able-bodied men (military or civilian) is very important too, and unlike weapons, you cannot grow that in 24 hours. Every sane country recognizes that, and that's the reason they are scared of Nigeria. Even if we don't have the weapons, other countries will provide them. Don't be misled by this boko haram stuff. It's all politics. I'm not agitating for it, but if by happenstance, one crazy general (serving not retired) takes over government, that will be the end of Boko Haram.

Any African country that underestimates the Nigerian military does that at it's own peril.

Wrong because you fail to take into consideration the fact that no nation will give you weapons without payment which Nigeria don't have now.

Have you asked yourself why the military is begging the National Assembly to allocate money for more helicopters to fight BH and have not gotten the cash yet.?

dukeprince50:
Sometimes its nice to know things before talking, SA military strength is greater than that of Nigeria.
SA has a power index of 0.5 against our 0.7
SA aircraft strength is 46th out of 137 while Nigeria is 67
They have 92 helicopters against Nigeria 46
Their economy is more stable than Nigeria and one other thing is Nigeria is divided.

Don't mind our people who don't know how weak the Nigerian Military has become

hammerD:
Nigeria can do alot of things including build a nuclear bomb, they just not heading in that direction.

Not true

Ordinary helicopters needed to fight BH, the military is begging National Assembly to approve cash for them

RTSC:
That is a lie.
A submarine cannot get them that much advantage.

Though I don't know why Nigeria cannot get submarines.
Even With all our wealth.

Then you don't anything about warfare if you believe submarine can not get them any advantage

timay:
Bros Not even USA can sink Nigeria within two years in an outright War. Comparing us to any African country is even an insult sef, because it will be a Mutually assured Destruction (MAD)

Oga close your mouth there.

You think war with US is another village fight.

Which tech do you have to confront the US.

SGANIVA:
south Africa is far from Nigeria, so is not possible and no Africa country can sink Nigeria under a year .if Nigeria will even loose any war against any African country, it will be cause by internal forces from the east.igbos are very powerful and can do everything to break up Nigeria

Wrong

SA and Nigeria are linked by the ocean which gives room for a Naval Warfare.

SA will defeat Nigeria at sea and then raid Nigeria from sea using her air force but if she doesn't get internal support, she will have difficulty landing troops

coolitempa:
It is on record that ipob have carried out murders and other violent activities, the only reason they’ve not gone beyond their region is because they are nothing but cowards. On bokoharam, the Nigerian army is fully engaging them and the so called python dance was not limited to the SĒ, it was nationwide but of course, only idiotic ipobs will complain and claim fake victimisation.

Brave man, can you post your real pics just as Kanu did
