"If you an Igbo or SS man, and you enter the armed forced or government, there is naturally a glass ceiling, with your first class or 2nd class and people from other regions are allowed to climb over you, Kanu saw this and ask 'What is happening here'. That was the beginning of IPOB." Mr Goody

Chaiiiii

KANU has killed Nigeria

Amnesty International will be compiling this interview now for the whole world to see

Some one should connect CNN Fox Aljazeera etc to this interview

How can the world know the true wishes of a people if not through a referendum

fratermathy:
We have said it times without number that we never requested for any referendum and therefore we are not interested in it.

Keep your referendum to yourselves. Even if we are voting in a referendum, the choice isn't between Nigeria and Biafra but between Nigeria and our own country. How hard is that to understand? Must you annexe us in your proposed referendum? As far as I am concerned, your referendum will NEVER be a reality unless you limit it to your borders.

That everyone is tired of the Nigerian marriage doesn't mean everyone wants Biafra as an exit plan. We have already openly rejected Biafra officially. Our leaders have said NO on our behalf. What more do you need? You want to force all of us to vote in your referendum? We are not zombies. We have to ask for one. We have to start a movement for a referendum by ourselves. Urhobo is a nation of over 2.5 million people and if a referendum is what we need, more than half of us would be at the forefront of the struggle. It's that simple!!!


Khsteel: I have seen your comments and I am not going to respond to some of the emotional outbursts you resorted to. You said I had something in mind when I opened this thread and you are very correct. I assumed the worst of IPOB Igbos due to me history with them online and they didn't prove me wrong on this thread. However, I acknowledge that you tried to address the issues very well and I appreciate that. You've done far better on this thread than what most of your people have ever done on Nairaland. If I were you, I would caution your brethren to be careful of the words they use, especially with regards to other people's ethnicity. If Hausas come today and insist that Igbos must take a referendum between Nigeria and Niger republic when you did not ask for one, what would the Igbos do? How would you feel? That is exactly how we feel!

The maps peddled by IPOB and some Igbos as the real map of Biafra contains the territories of minorities who have never granted permission to their inclusion in these maps and they have not officially come out to say that they are interested in Biafra. In the history of the Biafran struggle, no minority has been at the frontline. All the propagandists are Igbos. No minority group has openly come out, even in the form of small groups, to pledge loyalty to Biafra. What we have always asked for is the restructuring of Nigeria to give more voice to the minorities in heading their own affairs and controlling their own resources. That remains our wish and you guys know this. So forcing us to undertake a referendum we did not ask for is tantamount to taking away our right to self-determination HOWEVER WE SEE FIT!

I am an advocate for a referendum on the choice between Nigeria and Urhobo Nation or any coalition between MINORITY GROUPS. However my people have not said anything of such or made any request of that nature and so I cannot force my wish on my people. That is how things are done. When my people are ready, we will have our referendum (if at all it gets to that) and BIAFRA won't be on the table as a choice!!!

Gini mere i ji na-amanye onwe gi na a ndị mmadu na-enweghi mmasị? Eziokwu!

Who are the we.?

Don't tell me is a few group of people


Referendum remains the surest way to determine the mind of people

Azikwe took a decision against the Ibibio representing the East and incurred the wrath of the Igbos to this day

Why.? Because he failed to allow the people decide for themselves if to retain the Ibibio man or not

Till his death, Ojukwu and his father never liked Azikwe


Stop being undemocratic like Azikwe

Adopt the Swiss method of Direct Democracy which gives room for Referendum.

A very small boy not up to 12years

Juju for wealth has entered this case

CeoMYN:
Funny. We are not Igbos

Now I know you are an Afonja because Ogbas I know keep quiet when I present this line of thought

CeoMYN:
Hahaha, okay sir.

When you do, then will you realize that you guys are Igbos and not Binis

CeoMYN:
I have only been to Benin once and I didn't go there to look at people's faces.

Go back to Bini land and look at their faces

Esans look like Igbos because we share boundary

So when you get to Edo state, ask for the real Bini communities and visit them to see their faces

fkj950ax:
I don't know. I don't care as it has never been my responsibility to make sure these things were provided.

Since 1999, Easterners haven't done ANYTHING to ensure these things are provided.
Ask your Governors, Ministers, Senators, House of Reps and Assembly members and Elders... They have been doing nothing.
Its almost 20 years since this democracy started. Every other region can list all that's been done/achieved by them.
The problem of the East isn't Nigeria or Abuja or Nairaland. Its easterners.

Then close your mouth

Do you think the meagre money given to SE from Abuja can dredge river Niger

Why do you think Igbos shout Biafra or Death

CeoMYN:
Our ancestor Akalaka the father Of Ogba and Ekpeye Kingdom is from the ancient Benin.

I only know how to speak Egi and not Ibru.

Which of the Ogba language do you want me to speak.

Though our language especially we from Egi is similar to Igbo and Ikwerre it doesn't mean we are Igboid.

Forget about the Israelites, it is just a Bible story.

We call Igbos Nde Isoma.

I don't look like an Igbo man, I look like an Egi man.

How many Egi people look like Bini people

No pics

fkj950ax:
Charity begins at home.
Easterners are largest importers from China, but @abouzaid and co are here asking for Dangote's head!

Stop going to China and importing sub standard goods you trade all over the place.

Build industries in the east and distribute all over Nigeria. Then you'd be taken serious.

Edwin Clark shouldn't cry budget marginalisation. What did he and his fellow elders do to make sure rogues don't get elected to represent eastern interest in Abuja? Nothing!!!
Didn't Eastern Governors attend FEC meeting before and during budget preparation. Where were the eastern senators and house or rep members?

We keep accusing northern elites of keeping its people poor. Eastern elites and politicians are doing the same.

How many Federal power stations, good roads, inland ports are in the East


Pls do tell me

CeoMYN:
Why did you jump the Oba?

For your information Ogba kingdom has two languages that are somehow similar, Egi and Ibru. I am from the Egi clan.

Answer my question

What is fire, house, food, cloth, etc in Ogba language


You guys are clown for one reason being that you can't claim Bini without speaking or looking like Binis.

How many Ogba people look like Binis or speak Bini


The Israelites stayed 430years in Egypt without losing their language

How many of them entered Egypt during the time of Joseph.? Just 70 in number


You receive curse for claiming who God never created you people to be

To claim Bini when God never made you guys Binis, is an insult to God which attracts curses

Go back and ask yourself these 2 questions

1) Why is it that Ogbas do not have physical appearance of a typical Bini man but do have that of Igbos.?

2) Why is it that Ogbas don't speak Binis.?


Start with yourself

onemanonewife:
But y must tribalism continue to hunt us in this part of the world. No ONE sees anything good in good things because the owner isn't from his tribe. The FAN yogurt we use to chill everyday in hot whether is owned by igbo man Francis Author Nzeribe (FAN) yet he sited it in the northern region they didn't castigate him for that. Igbos invest more outside igbo lands so let's not dislike others who invest in igbo lands.

Jpphilips

He sited a factory and not a warehouse in Northern Nigeria. So why will they complain


The East wants industries so that we will reduce our migration to Lagos.

jpphilips:
Continue being tribalistic, no sane outsider will dare make a reasonable investment in the east, it is no rocket science but common sense.

Build industries in the East and not warehouses.

Who warehouses epp

Efewestern:
I usually don't comment on thread like this, I only did so because the op was a brother, no need arguing about nothing, we all know what the urhobo nation wants, I won't come online and start arguing with everyone about things that ain't real, at least before including a tribe in a struggle what you would have done first is to ask if they are interested in such struggle, that's the message the op is trying to pass, you can take a trip from your house to any urhobo land or even itsekiri land and get first hand info yourself,

I still see no reason why I will insult an entire tribe, I still believe in the Nigeria project, so do my brothers, the problem we are facing as a nation is as a result of bad leaders, country not been restructured well (yes I believe restructuring the country will Go a long way in solving our problem), Why most people kill themselves online arguing about religion and tribe the politicians keep looting our common wealth, they keep linking there children to each other for Nigeria .

Yes Urhobos have every right to reject Biafra but give every Urhobo the right to say No to Biafra through a referendum (Direct Democracy)

Do you know why Switzerland is the best country on earth.? It is because they practice what is called Direct Democracy while some other nations practice Representative Democracy eg US Nigeria

One of the best things to be created by men is VOTING

The reason why so many nations are being manipulated by the elites is due to the absence of Direct Democracy

For example, the senate or presidency can wake up one morning to create a law that favours the elites against the people and that law will stand because in Representative Democracy, a bill can become a law without a Referendum(Vote) backing it.

This is not the case in Switzerland

For Biafra, Urhobo, etc republics not to end up like Nigeria, Direct Democracy must be practice so that before a bill becomes a law, it must be the wish of most voters

For this reason, most of us got angry with Fratermathy who kept insisting that Referendum will not hold to give every Urhobo the opportunity to openly reject Biafra

Even Biafra, will not stand until all Igbos are given a say to accept or reject Biafra

Nigeria became a failed nation the day she was created because her inhabitats weren't given the right to Vote for or against her creation

So tell Fratermathy to stop being undemocratic and allow every Urhobo have a say through Direct Democracy (Referendum)

khSteel:
Thanks for your response.

Your response shows you have also observed the HATE coming out from your corner of Nigeria; however, the only contention you have is that you think it's a reactionary human nature from your people...according to you because of Igbos' ambition of turning Lagos into a non-Yoruba state hence, you think Igbos deserve all the HATE from your corner of Nigeria.

@fratermathy & others; kindly take note.


Let's address this Igbos ambition of turning Lagos into a non-Yoruba state.

When has Igbos ever voted against Yoruba interest in Lagos State?

I can only remember 2015, if you have contrary evidence please provide it.

Before we look into Igbos desires/ambition in 2015, let's review events of 2013 with respects to the Anambra State governorship elections where Ngige contested under the banner of ACN.

We all saw how ACN and your leaders tried to force Ngige on Anambra in 2013/2014; and when Ngige got defeated, we all saw how ACN and your leaders went on media blitz blasting Igbos for their political choice on TVC, Channels TV SunRise programme & AIT Focus Nigeria...calling us all manner of names and telling us how Ngige was the best Ijebu garri in town. How can people in SW Nigeria know what's best for people in Anambra?

That silly acts of 2013/2014 was what triggered the political consciousness of Igbos in 2015, and we all saw people threatening Igbos with the Lagoon and all what not for exercising our constitutionally guaranteed rights. Igbos are not trees, they are bound to respond...

Have you also noticed how your leaders are always the very first to play dirty politics and when the other parties have finished learning work and starts displaying their new skills, you/your leaders will start shouting nonsense.

We all saw how APC/Lai Mohammed lied bare-face lies and pushed-out HATEFUL narratives in the build-up to 2015 elections, after elections and even as at today...yet, you will never see that cause LIKE I SAID BEFORE, YOUR PARENTS HAVE TAUGHT YOU PEOPLE TO PILE-UP HATE TOWARDS IGBOs as a NATURAL ORDER; hence, you don't understand why IPOB is changing the natural flow of HATE.

Back to the HATE propagated through the use of movies.

Please go and check the YEARS OF PRODUCTION OF MOST 'REDEEMED' 'church/christian' movies; afterwards, come back and tell us how Igbos were ascertaining their political influence in Lagos as far as mid/late 1990s & early 2000s that most of those useless HATEFUL Movies were made.
Also, find a new NARRATIVE of how IGBOs deserves such UNCOUNTABLE QUANTUM AMOUNT OF HATE from your people on media cause this 'your how Igbos deserves it' is dead already; yet, in all this, the NIGERIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION allowed it all to air and go into circulations.


For the records, the amount of HATE in Nigeria (and ANTI-IGBO SENTIMENTS) didn't start recently, it's has always been there as a NIGERIAN STATE policy since 1970 and some sections of Nigeria simply latched-onto to the NIGERIAN 'HATEFUL' STATE POLICIES to propagate their HATE TOWARDS IGBOs to their heart content for 50+ years; guess what, IGBOs endured all these HATE given that them/their PARENTS LOST A WAR.

The question then is, "For How Long Will all These HATE go Unchallenged"?

What's NEW in Nigeria is that the young Igbos are saying ENOUGH is ENOUGH to the one-sided HATE.

The Internet & Social Media gave Igbos a platform, in the recent past, to challenge the UNCOUNTABLE QUANTUM AMOUNT OF HATE coming out from a section of Nigeria and your people CAN'T HANDLE WHAT YOU/YOUR PARENTS have been dishing out these past 50+ years to Igbos.

Wise presentation

I hope that Afonja will respect himself now that he realizes that hate begets hate

mumu, am from oil region but never depend oil. I work hard for my money. you can tell the footballers or the musicians they use Niger delta oil too na. lazy educated illiterate.

Make sure the foreign products used by you was not bought using oil dollars

CeoMYN:
You are funny.
I just told you, you don't know our history more than our Oba and our Eze Egi.

What is Eze in English language.?

What is Fire, water, food, cloth, house, woman,man etc in Ogba language

[quote author=khSteel post=55179140][/quote]Respect to you

You took your time to educate Fratermathy

Referendum will hold in Urhobo land whether he likes it or not

Every Urhobo will decide for himself or herself


Likewise, every Igbo man will decide for himself if he wants Biafra or Nigeria

We want industries and not warehouses

Easterners want to reduce their job migration to Lagos while increasing their business migration to Lagos

If we are to migrate to Lagos, let it be because we are expanding our businesses and not looking for jobs in industries located at Lagos

So, I stand on my earlier point before modifying my earlier post that

Dangote, build industries in the East and not Warehouses

CeoMYN:
We the people of Ogba kingdom in Rivers State have our root from ancient Benin, we are not Rivers Igbo.

When you guys start speaking Bini, only then will the world take you guys serious

Bini man wey no fit speak Bini which kind Bini man him be

I thought some people said Igbos don't love themselves


On a more non political note

Person no fit play football in peace again

Which kind yeye thing be this

I don't know why Nigerians think that a people who have been in power for majority of our independent life and can't develop themselves and their towns can develop the whole nation

I have being following Biafra movements since 1999

Before 1999, I had a strong feeling about the re emergence of Biafra around 1997 even before Uwazuruike conceive the idea of Biafra


One thing I want to educate the 3 of you is that, if you guys want One Nigeria to continue to exist, then talk to Hausa Fulani Yoruba people to entrench True Federalism which will definitely destroy their plan to dip into the sea the Quran and Fulani Supremacy.

As for the issue of non Igbos joining the Biafra movement, as early as 2001, Newsweek or Times Magazine published a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ijaws and Igbos concerning Biafra

For this reason, OBJ planned assassinating Ojukwu but failed when he gave Ojukwu a ticket to Abuja without including a return ticket

Ojukwu exposed the ploy to the world which was aired on Channels TV then

Ojukwu during OBJ's time visited the Tivs to convince them to join Biafra of which he was told to relocate all his businesses to Benue State. For that reason, the Tivs are not included in the Biafran project unlike the Idomas.

I don't know how old the 3 of you are but one thing I know is that I know things you 3 don't know

Before Boko Haram started, I knew even before the DSS and SSS discovered this group.

Do you know the most funny thing was that they had a base in the East which couldn't operate effectively due to the aggressive hostile nature of Christian Igbos towards Islam.

If you guys think Fulani herdsmen terrorism and grazing reserves are coincidence then it means you guys are below 20years of age


The truth is that, not everything will be said online in order not to give the enemy a hint to plan better.

Biafra is about freedom from colonial error

Biafra is about freedom from Islamic terror

Biafra is about freedom from the curse placed on Africa

If Biafra fails Africa will remain a backward continent

As Japan spur the rise of Asians so shall Biafra spur that of Africans


You guys mustn't give up even at the point of death

Biafra or Death

Freedom or Slavery

God is with us

IPOB keep praying and fighting for victory is certain

Aluta Continua Victoria Acerta

Struggle Continues Until Victory Is Certain

God bless you guys

Don't worry about our deaths

Every fallen hero is before God pleading for our freedom

Tell Nnamdi Kanu not to surrender

It was one day slavery ended

It was one day colonialism ended

It was one day Soviet Union ended

If Nigeria can be free from Colonialism, Biafra can be free from Oppression

God grant the fallen ones eternal rest at his blossoms


Remain Blessed

Someone should get this across to IPOB

Though Victory Might Tarry But Surely It Shall Come Through Prayers and Smart works.


Send this complete post to IPOB

How is it good

You guys accuse Southerners of crime but get angry when they threaten secession


Biafra Odua and ND republics must stand

Hope it is not true

Has it gotten to that level

Politics shouldn't be about hate

If Jonathan our son is still in power today, can this people threaten their slaves without a backlash

Yet these slaves decided to reject their saviours for their masters


See how their masters threatens them after causing havoc at the cradle of their origin as told in their funny history


2019 we will watch the slaves choose between their masters and saviours

Hope they make a wise choice
