[b][/b]n an atmosphere of a free and fair referendum on Biafra Republic, many Igbos will vote against seceding from Nigeria, Chief Frank Kokori has opined. Kokori, who’s the former Secretary General of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Tribune Online in Warri, Delta State. The septuagenarian said most of the Biafra agitators hardly knew what they actually wanted for their people. Besides, the Abacha nightmare in the days of the struggle for the actualisation of June 12, 1993 presidential election, asserted that Biafra was a mirage because the South East zone is landlocked. He noted that being the most successful commercial people, the Igbos will lose more if they broke away from the country, adding that they own the choicest properties in major cities in the country. Kokori debunked the allegation that only Igbos were being marginalised, saying every tribe and zone in the country experiences marginalisation one way or another, especially in the area of hunger and poverty. According to the fiery activist, who spent four years in prison over agitation for June 12, the most marginalised people are actually the northerners because of squalor and mortgaged future by their elites. This, he argued, is evident in the high rate of beggars among the northerners as against barely any among Igbos and a few amongst Yorubas across the country. “The Biafra agitation is being handled by people who do not even know what they want. “I for one know that if you allow all the Igbos in this country to go into a free and fair referendum, they won’t vote that Biafra should leave Nigeria. “Igbos will lose more. Their land is a landlocked zone of the country, but they are the most successful commercial people across the country. “Go to Abuja, Lagos, Kano, PortHarcourt, everywhere, they own most of the choice properties. “Even here in Warri, they own properties. What can they do in their landlocked zone? “You see, it’s just that the young people there don’t know. You see, everybody felt marginalised not only the Igbos. “Because if you don’t have a good job, you don’t have food to eat, you don’t have medical facilities, you’re purely marginalised. “Who are the most marginalised people, they are the northerners! They are so poor and a few of their elites loot everything from them. “The average Igbo man and Yoruba man lives better than the average northern Nigerian. Check it. You don’t see an Igbo man begging on the streets. “Yorubas are very few begging on the streets. Every other person, except the rich, in the north begs. “What we need do is to build a good country of justice and equity. “We can’t keep talking of breaking up. Why did America fight their civil war? They won’t allow one state to break away. “California and Texas are 10 times bigger and richer than Nigeria. They won’t allow them to break away. “They give them some freedom and the wealth is being properly distributed,” Kokori noted. He accused the elites in the South South, where he hails from, four impoverishing their people in spite of stupendous derivation funds given to the region. “Look at the 13 per cent they give our people in the South South, do they manage it well? They steal almost 80 per cent of the money. They don’t do anything with it. They deliberately leave the people in abject poverty, but the elite have fat bank accounts in Europe and elsewhere. That’s why I said some of us are disillusioned and depressed with what’s happening in the country. But we still have hope. We know what we’ve passed through in the past,” he disclosed. http://tribuneonlineng.com/igbos-wont-vote-favour-biafra-referendum-%e2%80%95kokori/

Anything that will make Igbos go home and stop developing other regions is welcome...Anything that will make every region control their human and material resources is welcome... |
Yes they will still want Biafra because the president will turn out to be like OBJ and GEJ...who were northern stoogies...Tell me one major project GEJ carried out in the SS and SE that were his backbone...? |
Quit notice to Ndigbo: No smoke without fire – Oodua Redemption Alliance By Editor | 11 June 2017 | 4:27 am Ndigbo The Oodua Redemption Alliance (ARA) has said no one should trivialise the quit order issued Ndigbo to leave the north come October 1. In a release by the group signed by Comrade Victor Taiwo yesterday, it said there cannot be smoke without fire, just as it is known all over the world that the youths of any society are the breathing trunks of the society. The statement read: “And so, if anybody is gullible or foolish enough as to trivialise the declaration of the Arewa youth leaders, such a person is doing so at his own peril. “Essentially, we take very seriously to the declaration of the northern youth leaders, as we cannot but take it that these guys are speaking the minds of their leaders in masks. “We in Yorubaland should therefore be wise enough as fortify our home front in anticipation of any eventualities.”“Meanwhile, it would be observed that out of the three major pillars of the country, namely, the Hausa/Fulani of the North, the Igbo of the South-East and the Yorubas of the South-West, only the Yorubas seem to be sitting on the fence, or so it seems to be, with their own position not made known, or perhaps not yet made known to the world. “Let us hereby make the position of the Yorubas known to the world right away, by this hitherto silent organisation known as Oodua Redemption Alliance. But before reeling out our resolution as adopted at the emergency meeting of the National Executive Council from which we rose yesterday, let us make our identity known to the world as the first, best-focused, and most consistent self-determination organisation ever to sprout in the political history of Yoruba nation, whose existence has spanned 23 years now having been established in April 1994. And our principal aim is to liberate the nation into a sovereign state and transform her to the status of a first-world country and first super-power country from Africa. This we are determined to achieve within the shortest unimaginable period. “Therefore, if the clamour for the sovereignty of Biafra as unequivocally being championed by IPOB, MASSOB and Biafran Liberation Council is an issue not to be taken lightly, and the order given by the Arewa groups smacks of nothing but their readiness to run their political affairs without the Igbo people, the question that therefore naturally arises is that with whom do the Arewa people want to form partnership in Nigeria? Yorubas is it or not? If their thinking is to form a front with the Yorubas, we hereby declare their thinking as arrant miscalculation, as their thinking will ever remain an illusion. But if their resolve is to be on their own as a sovereign state of Arewa, we whole-heartedly give our support to their aspiration.

ApolitiCal:
|
sokera:The same thing the Edo man was saying in the video. Leave IPOB alone. They are not touvhing any of your territory, or asking you give them MMIA or Tin Can Wharf...But you are the one disturbing them...calling them liepod, Biafra...so you see? |
sokera:Chameleon!! Even if that guy is your brother...telling the truth as it is...you will still deny that he is your brother...just to hide the shame you Yorubas have brought upon yourself...Very soon, you will have issues with other tribes in the south... |
kasheemawo:If the brain of all people in your country reason like you...then there is no hope for the country until that generation goes... |
You will see very few Yorubas on this post... If the post was " Kanu should be hanged". You will see them creeping from their slimy cesspits giving reason why he it should be so.... Again...Wetin Igbos do the Yorubas...The Igbos are not taking any of their territory...and yet all over social media Yorubas will not allow the Igbos to rest...Na waoh!! |
kasheemawo:Will 3 months also be okay for your Army, immigration, customs, Police, DSS, Civil defence corps to all leave...? We don't need them... |
Leiman100:The only thing that don't change is a non-living thing...are you are non living thing...? If Ironsi who ruled the country for just 6 months can introduce something...and it cannot be changed after 50 years...then there are issues...and these issues are part of what is happening today... |
mbhs139:I don't know how else to break this thing down to you...You can never achieve those in Nigeria...Never...have you ever heard of the word Patrotism...? Forget about what they get from Abuja as we are satisfied with what they have achieved with it. If these can be achieved in Nigeria, why were the technogy outputs of the Biafrans not developed 50 years after the war...? You still import mere bullet...I will stop here...Igbos will never meet their eternal goals by being in Nigeria...and that's final... |
Ddaji:Thank you...All we have heard is one way traffic...How much extension would your military and the herdsmen need? |
Now that the North, the SE, SS and Middle belt have made their points... As it's known, the northern elders have given their support for the Kaduna declaration ... and that means people will move in the opposite direction...the easterners going home and the northerners with their herdsmen going back up north...Now would their representatives in NASS vote yes to include referendum in the constituion, so that the people can vote and decide? This needs to be made official...or what do you think...? The SW are ignored...as it has shown that they are the only region, who needs One Nigeria more than any other group...despite contributing more than 80% of the nation's wealth, as claimed by most of them...It is strange and absurd, that the people that contribute less want out...Isn't this ironical...? |
APCsupporter:Name any government when Yorubas are not on the kitchen cabinet or are not one of the service chiefs...Where was Reubi Abati and Doyin Okupe, the corrupt Badeh and Amosu, etc...Yorubas just wanted more..Do you remember the northerners also cried of marginaliztion, even when they got two service chiefs, INEC and NSA...Compare those to today |
EvilMetahuman:...tell me you are into clowning for a living...SW are predominant in UK and 80% are on government benefit whole others are in prison for credit card, benefit and marriage scams...and terrorism....The others could be found in US and may be Canada...People from SE are every on earth and you know it...US, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Canada, Korea, Belgium, Italy, China, Malaysia, South Africa, Brazil, Austria...etc, etc...You know but choose to be clowing... |
APCsupporter:STALE |
EvilMetahuman:..more than $15 billion was remitted to the economy last year...more than your yearly income from Nigerians in diaspora...Guess which region contributed in all that...But we are not measuring d*ck...We just need to go our different ways...and develop at our pace...If you contribute 100% and Igbos contribute zero...so but it...ogbeni |
IpobExposed:Mumufied..Kanu didn't cause anything. The evil central government caused it...See this as requested by the Niger Delta group... “..We also demand the Federal government should immediately replace the Inspector General of Police with an indigene of the South West, the Director General of DSS with an indigene of South East, and the National Security Adviser with an indigene of South- South. “The Speaker, House of Representatives should voluntarily resign and hand over to an indigene of the South-South.” ------------------------------------------------ If appointments were made to show our diversity...don't you think people will have sense of belong and there will be less agitiation? Now tell how Kanu caused this...? |
EvilMetahuman:Okay, SW and the north are leading in imports and distribution...and Nollywood. Are you now happy
|
greymiles:Pedestrian, gutter goosip...that's where you belong. |
vic620:You wicked Kai!! Now the chicken is coming home to roost... |
greymiles:Mumu question...have your fulani herdsmen left the east? What about your military made up of almost northerners. They have been agitating for years, your people also shouldn't be in the east...as well...What kept Nigeria in this stupid state, is because of people like you...You have no idea what equity means... |
lofty900:You think they are poor like the IDPs in Oshogbo? Nope |
lofty900:...and after condemning them? |
lofty900:...Life is precious...You can always go back for your property...What do you want IPOB to do? |
