The dunce will ruin is ruining this country

biafranqueen:
Did you read the whole thread before writing this rubbish?

raumdeuter:
Na so most of these Biafra apologists are the same people who were shouting GEJ till 2019 but when they lost instead of sucking it up they decided to use Biafra as a backup option

I say show me any IPOB apologist on this Nairaland who was against GEJ or PDP before March 28

obailala:
Oh yeah, 'Mumuharri'... at the end of the day, the whole movement is fueled by one and only one thing, the hatred for buhari and the anger that he defeated your candidate in an election.

But then, you talk about the SW voting Buhari who promised to shred the national conference report. Only a silly person would expect a north westerner or north easterner to implement any confab report. But then, was GEJ going to also implement the report?... NEVER. It is also only a silly person that would have believed that GEJ had the political will or courage to implement the report.

The election was purely a case of choosing between 2 unsound candidates, but while one had the political will to fight corruption, the other not only did not have the political will nor courage, he did not also give a damn about the existence of corruption.

Finally, I am arguing with someone whose reasoning is beclouded by the emotions of hate, and anger and disgust over the defeat of GEJ and emergence of a person he terms mumuharri; I would be silly if I expect any sensible or balanced arguments from someone who is emotional. Goodnight!

obailala:
I dont care what you think... you and the others cannot change who or what I am. You are entitled to think and believe what you want.

obailala:
May I inform u firstly that I am from the SE... Secondly it was a silly thing to remove the entire fuel subsidies instantly thereby slamming an increase in fuel prices by more that 100%; everyone was involved in the rejection except pathetically blind followers of GEJ. I'm sure you also did not support that removal in 2012. How can you tell me you are punishing 160million people because you lack the political will or courage to call some of your rogues friends (subsidy cabal) to order?

Regarding if the SW wants regional rule, they have always called for regional autonomy in every single national conference so what do you have to say about that?... The 2015 election between GEJ vs Buhari had absolutely nothing to do with a support of regionalism or not because both GEJ and PMB showed absolutely no commitment to that cause. GEJ organised the national conference simply as an election/political tool.

obailala:
But strangely, Igbos have always been an integral part of this 55 years of disastrous nationhood both at the federal level and especially at the state levels?... If these set of people in leadership could be disastrous when they answered Nigeria, what sort of fairy tale miracle will make them saints simply because they change name?... No doubt Nigeria is a british contraption, but you will agree with me that Igbos have also contributed a great deal to the dysfunctionality of this contraption called Nigeria....

Let us forget the federal and focus on the state levels, never has it been heard of since 1960 till date that federal allocations were not paid to Igbo states. So my brother, what did Igbo leaders do with the moneys?... If we had problems managing moneys at the local level, how then would changing of name make us any better?... Why can't these agitations be made against local Igbo leaders i.e. state governors, LGA chairmen, councillors, Senators, Reps and traditional rulers?... Why cant these street agitations be made to force the implementation of the national conference report?

Agitating to force the implementation of the conference report is a cause which both the SS and the SW and most parts of the NC would gladly support and join and in no time , we would be very close to achieving regionalism.

Ioannes:
All this talk about Biafra has dragged the progress made by the igbos in healing the wounds of the past back another 100years. The people of Nigeria will find it hard entrusting the commonwealth of this nation to them. its a pity.

Let the more sensible Igbos team up with the Yoruba and let's fight together for true federalism which is more feasible.

egift:
Am sure you are new here and perhaps unaware that you are not more Igbo than I am. And am certainly not the only Igbo man that will never support quest for myopic caveland.

Instead of Nigeria to divide, it will expand.

TechRev:
What is this OP asking?? Why does OP want to be Nigerian?? All those shouting one Nigeria have their kids, refineries, business and loot in Developed countries. Buhari's daughter schools in UK!
















Who is asking this question

naijapips02:
Hey, i'm not the bad guy here. I'm your brother. I am igbo.

But i need some convincing. Why do we really need this Biafra Now?

Can someone please enlighten me?

Dnacode:
My question is valid.
You do not need to have a Biafran State yet to answer it.
As a people repressed for so long you can understand the pain of repression.
The Nigerian government represses the rights of pple mostly minorities.
The LGBT are not asking for gay marriage from Biafra but at least for a non repetitiveness of the draconian law of the Nigerian government by the Biafran State.
Its wrong to jail someone for whom they are. Leave the judgment to God.

I remember what made the Biafran movement to fail in 1967.
The refusal to treat the OSU's in the land with dignity and self respect and so it is said that they saboteured the whole mission ( I do not know how true this story was though).
Thank God Igbos views of Osu's have changed and they are gladly treated with respect.

Now how will Biafra treat the LGBT?
Let us have the full cards on the table before the state becomes arisen.

How you will decide to treat the LGBT can make the international community listen to your plight and they can force Nigeria to grant you your freedom.
Do not say taaa! si ebe a puo!.

An average Hausa or Muslim man can do anything for the sake of Islam. If you have heard of the word takkiyah(talked about recently by Ben Carson), you will realize that a Muslim can go against the tenets of Faith just to propagate Islam through jihad--it is allowed. Stories have it that the same sodomy whose sentence is death by stoning is employed by many Muslim terrorists(I.e they get sodomized to increase their butt hole and load weapons inside). Such "perverted" behaviour is permitted to further the cause of Islam.

A word is enough for the wise. Do not make the same mistakes as your fathers as they made with the OSU's.
Let the LGBT help you. Use them to your advantage.

Dnacode:
My question for Biafra is this?
What is your stance on LGBT issues?

Also do you believe that you can win this war with Nigeria without actually fighting it with the help of LGBT's round the country?

honourhim:
The way my people pursue this Biafra thing is so irritating. You are protesting and causing obstruction to academic, social and business activities in our land and you think you are wise? This is crass foolishness.
You want to get Biafra by going into enemity with our neighbours in whose lands we have made investments. What kind of foolishness do you people have pls?

The annoying thing is that majority of you are touts and never-do-wells who have nothing to lose and you want to rope people who have investments all over Naija into your foolish approach? Those of you abroad making noise, what investment do you have in Igbo land?

Is it not thieves like Theodore Orji, Rochas and co that will take charge of the Biafra or you think the current Igbo political class will fold their arms and watch you rule Bafra? na wa for my people o.

A regional government where each region will be contributing to the center remains the best for now, not Biafra as a country. Step by step we shall get to Biafra. One step at a time. Be wise Biko nu. Unu emezila ka ndi na amaghi ihe.

In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Preamble

Outlines a general philosophy of government that justifies revolution when government harms natural rights.[79]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Our struggle has far-reaching significance. It is the latest recrudescence in our time of the age-old struggle of the black man for his full stature as man. We are the latest victims of a wicked collusion between the three traditional scourges of the black man - racism, Arab-Muslim expansionism and white economic imperialism. Playing a subsidiary role is Bolshevik Russia seeking for a place in the African sun. Our struggle is a total and vehement rejection of all those evils which blighted Nigeria, evils which were bound to lead to the disintegration of that ill-fated federation. Our struggle is not a mere resistance - that would be purely negative. It is a positive commitment to build a healthy, dynamic and progressive state, such as would be the pride of black men the world over...

...Since in the thinking of many white powers a good, progressive and efficient government is good only for whites, our view was considered dangerous and pernicious: a point of view which explains but does not justify the blind support which these powers have given to uphold the Nigerian ideal of a corrupt, decadent and putrefying society. To them genocide is an appropriate answer to any group of black people who have the temerity to attempt to evolve their own social system.

When the Nigerians violated our basic human rights and liberties, we decided reluctantly but bravely to found our own state, to exercise our inalienable right to self-determination as our only remaining hope for survival as a people. Yet, because we are black, we are denied by the white powers the exercise of this right which they themselves have proclaimed inalienable. In our struggle we have learnt that the right of self-determination is inalienable, but only to the white man.

Pictures please!!

This week alone: Biafrans protesting, clash due to Tribunal rulling in Tarraba leading to death, Massive Protest in Benin city today, Now fulani herds men are on invasion if true.

Niggerareaiaaa!!!

Six months into office, Mr. Buhari had installed just half of the Cabinet and top-level appointments under his discretion, slowing the former army general’s ability to capitalize on his postelection honeymoon. Recently the Nigerian Senate approved the last of his Cabinet picks, but only after the president admitted he hasn’t figured out exactly which portfolios his new ministers will be given.

noblezone:
I read with great joys that the Report of the 2014 National Confab of has been rejected by the Norther Leaders.

Stake holders in Nigeria who were not blinded by emotions during the heat up of the confab can recall that the North (Islamic North), castigated the confab because they were not in charge of it.

One of their own even threatened that his people will pull out of Nigeria and join his kindreds in Cameroun.

Well, the confab went ahead and the North "lost" much ground. This report if implemented will weaken the centre. A situation the North does not want to hear.


Jonathan was myopic. He thought he could fix Nigeria. He thought he could bring some change. He thought he is a magician or a super man who can mix oil and water. I keep asking, what do we have in common with the Muhammadan emirates of the North?


The north owns Nigeria! The north has spoken and it is binding to us all.
The rest are slaves! The north has rejected the confab report and that is the end of it all.
It was also the north that rejected the Aburi accord and that was the end it.

Assuming it is the South East that rejected the confab report will it be the end?
If it is the South West or the Niger Delta that rejected the report, will it make any difference.

OBJ called for a constitutional conference, towards the end, Niger Delta walked out. The dinner went on as if northing happened.

When the North barks, Nigeria quake. I hail the north. Bravo!

However, let me state clearly that the days of ignorance and fear are over.
We, the peoples of the Biafra want out of this fraud.

The rejection of the report is good for our course.
That is why hail the North for the rejection.
A big Thumbs UP to able Northern Leaders for living up to our expectations.
To those of us who are grounded in the psychology of Nigeria and why her fate belongs to history, the rejection did not come as a surprise.

Cheers to you all.

This is the reason we have to do away with these ungrateful ss minorities and team up with the other two big tribes to play this game like the tribe we are. The ijaws/ss are a trachrous group of people.

obailala:
Now that is the exact defeatist attitude that will continue to keep us backwards. Who told you it is only the Igbos that are not trusted?.. Do you think the yorubas trust the HAusas and vice versa?... DO you think the middle belt or SS trusts any other group in Nigeria and vice versa?... It would do us good to understand that nobody trusts nobody and there are no brothers in a jungle. In politics, if an alliance must be formed, the terms of agreement have to be agreed in such a way and manner that the benefits to both sides are known before hand; it is like a simple contract. There is no way in which a proper political alliance would be formed between 'A' and 'B', and then after 'A' rules, he hands over power to 'C.' This continuous paranoia of Igbos have prevented us for ages from forming proper alliances and that is exactly why we cannot produce a president. But instead of coming back to the drawing board to strategize, many minds have given up and believe the only way out is a divorce. That's unfortunate!


For one to grab the price, 'superior' politics has to be played in which the terms of agreement

Life is all about selfish. That why siblings that grew up in one house, one day fly the next, marry, build their own house and have his own family without saying every stay at home as one happy family.
What is selfish is you calling me choice selfish and yours honourable. I respect your choice, I just wish your accorded mine the same respect.

dabriggs:
Who says there is no crude oil in the east? I even mentioned companies that produce from the East. Shell, Chevron, Addax(SINOPEC) etc. in Imo and Abia States.

I attached a map showing Nigerian concession oil blocks in the East. And I even went further and mentioned that while some are producing, some

have not been explored (and modeled) to confirm the availability and size of reserves. So they could even be holding huge oil and/or gas reserves.

Yet without understanding, you are quick to jump into conclusions?

Ok sorry say I teach you. Just like the school it is not compulsory to learn or agree with the teacher.

That is why Nigerian youths are unemployable. They dont learn from facts they learn from religious and ethnic sentiments.

Donald Trump is a genius.

laudate:
Nah.... other folks don't hate Igbos, they are generally indifferent until the Igbo disrespect them and put them down, whenever there is a difference of opinion. Just like you have done.

If you disagree with my post, why not point out the portions you disagree with in chapter and verse, politely? No... you had to add insults in order to make your point. And that is the way most of the Igbo (not all) on NL react. So for now, I will overlook your petty name-calling, because I know you are only behaving true to type.

Were you chaps raised on a diet of insults?? I used to try and appeal to your brethren to see reason in the past. But not anymore. Now I give them back a taste of their own medicine, served without garnish.

Ehen, where was I?

So when the Igbo come calling with their plate offering of insults, vitriol and hate speech, of course, other non-Igbo do not take the insults lying low, and they respond to them in kind. Before you know it, the ethnic bashing starts and the non-Igbo also answer them using the same foul language. Abi na who be mumu??

Eziachi:
I did not left out any one on purpose. I used etc and as an intelligent person you knew what that means.

If oil is the issue, there are loads of oil in Ngwa, Egbema, Ohaji, and billions of untapped natural gas in Anambra.

Biafra won't be a repeat of Nigeria obsession with oil. Many top world economies do not have a drop of oil. The most important asset is our brains, not crude oil.

How on earth do claim any one, especially in this 21st century?,Whenever I heard this statement, it makes me shudder. These tribes are not just manufactured, they has been there thousands of years unclaimed, so how do one claim them now.
That is really mind numbing.

laudate:
Nah.. they should learn to respect other people's point of view, (even when they do not necessarily agree with it), and they should stop hating..! Everyone cannot think alike!
