Jerrypolo:
I will forgive your ignorance of the law of civil disobedience which is quite different from civil unrest.

Staying in your house on election day is not a violation of the constitution. They have said it repeatedly that anyone who wants to go and vote is free to do that. Ask yourself this question whether you are sympathetic to IPOB or not; All the elections held in Nigeria since 1960 till date, how has it impacted positively on the populace?

More than 50years ago, a political party seeking election would have the following in its manifesto

(a) Good Road
(b) Electricity
(c) Pipe borne water
(d) Affordable Housing
(e) Education
(f) Healthcare
(g) Security
(h) etc, etc.

This same manifesto is still being used by our politicians today. That is a sign of generational failure!. Like the popular saying "Who election epp?".

I believe Nnamdi Kanu has set the ball of revolution rolling. Let us all irrespective of Tribe, Religion, Sex and political affiliations join hands together and liberate our land.

Don't mind all the hypocrites here. One would think from the way some of them talk that the electoral process in Nigeria is the hallmark of free and fair elections.

This is the same country where armed thugs battle themselves to snatch ballot boxes, electoral officials announce results where the total votes cast sometimes exceed registered voters and in 99% of the case, judges determine the final results.

Even ostriches will be amazed by the ability of these folks to hide their heads in the sand.

mdokaba1:
Needless to say that the points you raised are valid and up to date. But as much as I agree that the igbos have been so marginalised in every sense of the word but believe me that only calls for a round table " family" talk but certainly not a divorce.

You guys talk about these unity nonsense as if it's only Igbos involved. There are over 200 other ethnic groups in this colonial prison camp. Are Igbos going to sit at this your "round table " family" talk" alone?

There was a very modest attempt at addressing these same issues with the 2014 Conference but a majority of your unity loving fellow Nigerians voted for the guys that promised to dump the result of that conference. And even though they failed to keep any of the other pre-election promises they made, they were very forthright in keeping that singular promise.

We are not going to negotiate with our selves. We are making our position known.

oladeebo:
and if you play stupidity by trying to stop those who come to vote, you will be dealt with according to law!
because you violate international treaty of democracy!

Good boy. You try.

Thanks for sharing your ramblings with me. Unfortunately, you've mistaken me for a psychiatrist. I can't decipher let alone offer any help regarding your mental health issues.

papaejima1:
Does anyone know where this OP dude comes from?

Somebody will be a stark raving onye ala, we will be thinking it's mere stupidity.

Dedetwo:
No, boycott is not a disruption of electoral process. Boycott simply means not to participate in the electoral process and this is not the first time in the history of zoo called Nigeria that electoral process has been boycotted.

You're taking these clowns on these boards too seriously. They're are just bleating and puffing with impotent rage.

I just laugh at them. Ekwensu has inspired them to constantly find new ways to amuse me.

Modsenemy:
Kanu errwhere

Let people go out and vote . This is democracy.
And if kanu and his Ipob bandits tries to [b]violently boycott [/b]the election, then let martial law be declared in the state by the FG .
Even kanu will run back to London

These "One Nigeria" sheeple no go kill me with laughter.

Which one be violently boycott again? Bikonu

People are in their homes enjoying ofe nsala and nkwuobi , using correct nkwu enu to washout down and people are talking about violence here.

The only violence is at your rigging polling stations where both uniformed and un-uniformed (?is that even a word?) thugs rule. Well, the good people of Anambara have decided to give all that a pass this year.

Kagawa10:
Eguns are no Yoruba though. The Ijebus on the other are core Yoruba! If they are Sudanese, then I and my people must be one because we speak roughly the same dialect.

Awujale was just on weed.

Interesting. You believe you share common kinship with the Ijebu because of a common dialect but for some reason you imagine that the Ukwuani who share a common dialect with a large number of communities in Rivers, Anambara and Imo states (including Oguta) are not Igbo while the communities in The SE are "core" Igbo?

I suggest that you should stick to subjects you actually understand and stop relying on "he said", "she said".

GMBuhari:
Ndi ala your people


Section 77(2) of the constitution provides:

“Every citizen of Nigeria who has attained the age of eighteen years residing in Nigeria at the time of registration of voters for the[b] purpose of election to a legislative house shall be entitled to be registered as a VOTER for that election[/b].

Skipping other parts, there's provision that once you have PVC, it's a must to vote during an election , otherwise , return your voter's card

return your Nigerian salaries, stop using Nigerian roads, stop eating Nigerian foods, as long as you still live under the Nigerian constitution you must vote

So you read that section and in your mind you think that "entitled" means the same thing as mandatory or compulsory?

Any way your monicker is quite apt.

NaijaEgunje1:
I think Nnamdi kanu missed the chance to make himself the nigerian hero which everyone from all over the country will be grateful to

To be honest with you if Nnamdi kanu had come out to start the much needed revolution that Nigerian masses need against the corrupt politicians,

if he had stated that all he demands from the government is good governance thereby threaten to burn down the properties of corrupt officials

publicly beat them or even kill them all Nigerians would have stood behind him and not even the army can do anything to him

If he had give ultimatums to state governors to fix bad roads ,local government chairmen to do their jobs or get killed , phcn to fix all light issues all face harsh treatment from the the masses i think all Nigerians would have been behind him

But he took the wrong advice by making every other tribe especially the yoruba hes enemy

Ok. He missed his chance.

But wait! You no be person?

You set fit be hero. Or you want to miss your own chance without even trying.

FeloniousFelon:
This thread is meant to expose the deep psychosis affecting the Yoruba and how it has led to obsessive opposition to Biafran seccesion.

Hopefully, the Afonjas will take a break from their persistent bitter busy body over Biafran issue that doesn't concern them and channel that wasted energy and frustrations towards reforming their society and repositioning them to the status of a proud independent race of black Africans and not the subservient slaves of Jihadist holding the colonial plantation on the behest of their European banker imperialist.

Yoruba wake up!

I have the radical idea that your thread isn't going to change anything. You will just get people defensive because no one likes to be denigrated. Moreover, at this stage, it does nothing for our struggle. I'm more interested in making sure that the upcoming (s)election in Anambara is a complete dud.

Moreover, we are not thinking of forming a new union with Yoruba, so what exactly is the point?

FeloniousFelon:
Subservience and betrayalis in their genes

Enyi,

Koo n'ubi gi.

How them matter take concern you? This is not our culture.

pazienza:
How exactly Rochas became the governor of Imo state is still a mystery.
Such a shame.
Rochas speaks for himself, and himself alone. What Ndiigbo want is not additional state, what we want is Biafra.
You know that a leader had failed, when he can't connect with the demand of the people.

Honestly, that was the biggest switch and bait scam I've ever seen in my life. The guy is a complete waste.

GMBuhari:
This is the 5th version of warning i am reading , if / when police start dropping them for being a nuisance , it would be for a good cause

Do not disrupt elections and stay alive

Nigerian Police Farce is led by lobotomised fascists.

People are talking about staying at home on Election Day to enjoy ofe nsala, they're threatening them with fire and brimstone. They should go to people's houses and drag them to the rigging polling stations.

Ndi ala.

deboysben:
To the op, even if you give him a thousand proof, he can never accept, he will keep turning your proof down and still asking you to give proof. a typical deluded creature.

I blame the people ( including myself now) commenting on this nonsensical thread.

Can you give me "verifiable proof" that tomorrow will be better than today? How can someone provide "verifiable" proof for something that hasn't even freaking happened yet.

This is just too moronic for me.

chernest2002:
Instead of calling kanu to round table talks you want to tag him terrorist, and I say that with this approach Nigeria will fail, many igbos do not want to secede but wants to see equality in the system. But without equality there can never be peace.

These clowns that dub themselves "Northern Youth" are a waste of oxygen.

After painting themselves into a corner with their moronic "quit notice", they're trying to prolong their five minutes of fame with more idiotic theatrics.

It's either they are going to the UN to declare Kanu a terrorist (because they don't agree with him) or for the same reason asking NK to be punished.

My advice to them is that they should spend more time thinking about their local problems instead of trying to poke their nose into other people's issues.

In any case, we already know that they are insincere about their utterances. They're only positioning themselves as "champions of the North" for future political benefits. They're simply following Mumuharri's example with Sharia and BH.

At the end, it's all Yeye rolling.

Dedetwo:
Nigeria!!! There is no better reason to leave Nigeria than Nigeria itself. if you hate to see African suffer because of poverty, do what Europeans have done. You simply cannot have Germans, British, French, Italians, Dutch, Spaniards, etc in one country and expect harmony. Nigerians in their culpable idiocy tend to shout about unity or united in Nigeria. Sometimes I wonder if the Nigerians were talking about united as in amalgamation or unity in terms of harmony. In any case, the lip services are all for it because Nigeria has institutionalized discriminations in the forms of quota system and the so-called federal character.

This is gone beyond the idiotic issue of marginalization, which is true, however it is now a matter of progressiveness, culture and tradition interwoven in a philosophical stream of thought. I have been around many developed countries and come to undeniable conclusion that Nigeria cannot progress as presently configured. If you want to stay with Nigeria, I have no business to stop you as you do not have any business to stop me while heading toward Republic of Igbo land or Biafra.

Thanks. This is the kernel of truth right there.

In every successful society, education is the vehicle for socializing young people to carry forward a precious heritage and coherent set of values. Is it any wonder that in a country like Nigeria without a common heritage and divergent , diffuse cocaphony of values our educational system is a sham and leadership is elusive?

And some simpletons wonder why the country can't progress.

BlowBack:
And you believe the Gay News Network.

Storm Troopers are no saint but where they got Obama's ban hammer which Google and other main stream browsers endorsed by de listing them from their search returns was because they exposed Obama's hypocrisy and lies regarding Crimea, Benghazi, Syria, Yemen and even Nigeria.

This same CNN through that Gay Lord James Cuomo came on air to say that viewing the wikileaks dump of Hilary, DNC and Podesta emails was a crime and that only them as journalists are allowed to review the emails and report their findings.

This same useless CNN also blackmailed the redditor behind the Trump/CNN wrestling match meme where they threatened to reveal his identity.

What CNN is doing here is nothing but blackmail.

No one here gives a flying fvck about what a syphilitic, racist troll like you has to say.

Just fvck off.

Cretin!

Adekamkpe23:
Can Ibo people survive if they were asked to remain in Biafra alone?
No other Nigerian travels to Ibo land but yet half of those born in Umuahia today will end up in Lagos tomorrow. Why?

No, we can't survive. That's why we want Biafra. We don't want to "survive" anymore.

Are you happy now?

Afam4eva:
I actually watched the Ogoni man in that interesting political discussion. He was visible angry at everything, not just Nnamdi Kanu. Note that at the beginning of the show he said that "We are all Biafrans" which he used to highlight the fact that every part of Nigeria is feeling some sort of neglect. I can understand why he would be angry anyway because if you look at the interview with Nnamdi Kanu that he was reacting to, Nnamdi Kanu came across as arrogant and was just marking territories according to the man. Nnamdi Kanu was asked which part of Nigeria covers Biafran territory and he mentioned all the SE and SS states except Edo state. So, this guy was feeling like, we were not consulted. You don't go around marking territories without insulting the sensibilities of the indegenes in those terrains.

I've noticed that Niger Deltans don't necessarily have a problem with Biafra per se. Their problem is the fact that they're not been carried along properly. For instance, if Nnamdi Kanu can court some freedom fighters in those areas to join his movement. For instance, if people like Asari Dokubo and co join the movement actively and not by proxy, only then will these groups in those areas with be able to resonate with the Biafran struggle through their own leaders. Nnamdi Kanu having foot soldiers who have no followership in those areas is a recipe for disaster.

I don't like the idea of another multi-ethnic federation. However, when clowns want to denigrate my ethnicity using flawed arguments, I have to make some corrections.

When you guys claim that Ogoni or Ibibio, Ijaw or whatever ethnic group were not consulted, it sounds daft to me because I don't remember when the Igbo tribes ( like Aro, Orotta, Isu, Abaja, Ngwa or any other were consulted. Did IPOB even consult members of Kanu's village? This is just a misleading attempt to degenerate Igbos by Igbophobic imbeciles.

One should not be surprised because some of these m0rons are even claiming that Ojukwu imposed Biafra on them against all historic evidence that shows that members of the Easter Consultative Assembly with representatives from all over the old Eastern region advised him to declare Biafra ( a name that was even suggested a non-Igbo). There was no record of dissent along ethnic lines. It was only when the going became rough that some people started recanting.

The fact is that IPOB along with other allied organizations like the Lower Niger Congress have members drawn from various other ethnic groups ( not just the big bad Igbos). They were not elected by anyone. The Igbo members were not elected by us to speak on our behalf and neither were members from other ethnic group. They are only agitating for a referendum to enable members of their various ethnic groups to make a simple choice (along ethnic lines) through a referendum. How is that forcing Igbo views on you? Have you heard of any elected individual in Igboland talking about Biafra?

The thing is fvcking simple. If you like your current condition, vote "Yes", if you don't like, vote "No". Where is the freaking "force"? What better means of consultation can there be than a referendum that enables everyone to express their choice?

Additionally, the template now championed by IPOB is for a confederation of independent ethnic nations. This template wasn't created by NK but was proposed by the LNC which if my memory serves me right was founded by an Itshekiri.

Like I always say, ignorance can be cured but stupidity is a terminal condition.

Like Fela sang,

"The condition you dey, I don't know
But my condition done reach make I act"

GenBuhari:
Sahara Reporters are imperialist owned and run, their task is to mislead so that we are too confused to figure out their conspiracies and webs of deceit.

Reality is the cabal in charge of Nigeria is the imperialist cabal which both Osinbajo and NAss leadership are cooperative partners in.

I believe you. I swear down!

In fact ehn, one of those imperialist agents was asking me for bribe the other day because the "q" on my engine number appeared like "9" on the particulars.

These imperialists sef

Mujtahida:
By virtue of our constitution secession is illegal. In the US on the authority of the case of Texas versus White the Supreme Court of the United ruled that seccession was illegal even though the court did not rule out the possibility of a state seceding with the consent of other States. It was this case that Azikiwe relied on when he argued against Awolowo's proposal for seccession to be included in our constitution at the Constitutional Conference in 1954 https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/my-role-in-the-civil-war-by-zik/119382.html

Currently they are at least 111 secessionist movements scattered all over Europe with 17 in Spain alone.

But you see laudate back home here what concerns me in all of this is this: What are the things that make such calls appealing. Let us lift the veil and penetrate the depths to find underlying and predisposing factors. What is your view about the current state of Nigeria? Are we to continue this way? Is the status quo one that is cast in stone for all time?

Now, this is a man thinking.

Naijiant:
People thinking with their hearts and not their heads.

The conditions imposed on us after the uncivil war were not exactly conducive to our economic advancement either.

You should learn to think dynamically. I don't want to talk much but like we say "when one door closes, many windows will open". Constraints provide opportunities.
