I created this Thread

Stop assuming

Kestolovee95:
Chai yoruba and intelligence, are like oil and water. Your brother alcatraz001, a well known anti-Igbo bigot and his fellow pro-yoruba Igbo haters created the thread, blackman read up.

Don't you mean web stations ? If the FG is ready , they'll take it down, afterall they already took a station down

You apparently do not understand the meaning of pirate radio station

Kestolovee95:
And we keep asking.. do "poor" "lowlives" build UNJAMMABLE INTERNATIONAL RADIO STATIONS?

Who is you people abeg , you no get eyes say na me post this thing ?

madridguy:
Until Nnamdi Kanu come down to Nigeria and lead the crusade then I will know you people are serious.

You realize a war was fought before and after they held the referendum ?

So riddle me this , what caused the wars ?

What happened to the citizens in Sudan

What's the population of Christian vs Muslims

Which religion or tribe dominates SSudan

And finally , relate that to the Nigerian vs Biafran situation

nobilis:
I'm the one who is funny and you're the one who is making sense

Let's examine a scenario.
South Sudan gained independence few years ago.
And it is safe to assume that most South Sudanese owned businesses in some parts of the world and even in the northern part of the original Sudan.

So according to your common sense, when South Sudan became independent, all the citizens of South Sudan abandoned everything they had in other countries and in the north of Sudan and came back home to South Sudan because South Sudan is now a country?

That's what your common sense gave you, right?

How old are you, abeg?

If it's still useable , it should be recycled for better understanding , if you are not happy , stay off my post and my mention

Buh bye now

winniz:
Why are you still recycling this old Trash, I still can't comprehend Yorubas obsession with Biafra, is one Nigeria by force?

I'm pretty sure

francafrank:
is that so?

whoever that guy is , he stated his observation

BolaAdeyemo:
warever,dude
so i must insult ibos before you know am yoruba?
Iranu

You funny no be small

With this increase in tension among people do you think anyone will be safe ? Besides, if FG refuses to grant permit , what will you do then ??

nobilis:
Why do people equate a nation's independence with all the citizens of that country relocating to that place?

Common sense isn't common after all.

One of the newest countries in the world today is South Sudan.
Are you trying to tell me that all citizens of South Sudan are living in South Sudan?
If Biafra becomes a reality, are you trying to say that no Biafran can live in Nigeria??

Think wisely, brother.

All those people with businesses in the North or the West do not have to leave the West. All they have to do is get a residence permit, that is, if it will even be necessary because Biafra will also be a West African nation and some of these migration rules are somewhat relaxed in this region. There are many Nigerians living and working in Camerron, Benin Republic, Mali, Senegal, The Gambia, Togo, Niger Republic, Chad Republic and so on.

And you cannot stay in your room and assume a figure. If you say 90% of Igbos don't want Biafra, give us a link to the study you carried out and arrived at 90%.

Secondly, you say the people who clamor for Biafra are those who haven't left Igbo land.
I guess Nnamdi Kanu is living in Aba, Nnewi, or Onitsha, right?
I guess all those other people he holds talks and rallies with outside the shores of this country all live in Owerri, right?

kestolove95:
stop bringing south south to ur fail state of Biafra....south is different from south east..nd south east is wat we talking abt hia...d only few good ones ar dox dat ar base in d north...d rest in south east nd west are devils incarnate

Obviously you know nothing about me

Hahan , bet why now ? You are insinuating that all the bad eggs in Nigeria come from SS /SE only ?? Is that what you are implying ?

kestolove95:
Allow dem to form dia biafra pls...so nigerians can slip with dia eyes open...imaging nigeria free of armrobbery,419,rituals and drug trafficking...I support biafra let d ibos go...so d bad names dey ar givn nigeria will b shifted to dia cursed erosion zone of Biafra..land of d rising crime

AMEN

modelmike7:
As far as i am concern, it is even DEAD ON ARRIVAL! Nigeria will be one! God bless Nigeria!!

HAPPY STANDING

Jman06:
Go stop him if you can!!

1diotic sellout!

In Biafra we stand!

Kindly state the incidents surrounding your claims of marginalization

Don't SS/SE states earn more from federal allocations than other states?
Don't you get your allocations on time ?

Explain your marginalization without stating the obvious about having 6 states

kosovo:
The miserable writer Igbokw is suffering from self-denial and self-illusion. Even a mad man's knows that you can't slain the lives of over 3 million people belonging to a tribe and not get a response.

Whether you believe or not, there are spirits, the spirits of those innocent people who fought for self-dignity and a better live for posterity will never rest until their will is actualized.

You don't need a prophet to tell you that Nigeria can't work. The unholy matrimony between the North and South has lasted 101-years and nothing has changed. What makes you feel that in another 100-years, anything will come out from a union where there was no practical agreement.


It is not by force to enslave a tribe while the irresponsible people who call themselves the Northern Elite keep believing they are born to rule by providence and continue to ride-rough upon the South.

The gullible writer has not read history, he just lifts words for what people have already said without subjecting it to reasoning. He keeps assuming, when in reality assumptions do not create anything but illusion.

I will advise the writer to channel his energy into writing something more intelligent that can foster the unity of Nigeria. There are a lot of Nonsense in the constitution, especially the recognition of three so-called tribes that claim to be majority and must having everything to themselves.

If Nigeria can't practice true Federalism, then the zoo must fall in Kanu's words.

May the bones of Lord Lugard continue to rot in hell. Good riddance!

Bet why ?

Nigeria na we country na

laurel03:
NO make den dey go joor

State your reason

madridguy:
BIAFRA IS A FRAUD.

Well said

I couldn't agree more

GabrielSuswam:
95% of Igbos don't want Biafra..... Forget all this online stunts

Come to Abuja.. 70% of Hotels are own by Igbos (Rockview,Ibeto etc)... Petrol stations, Wuse Market Igbos into legitimate business and making good money here!!

Biafra is being clamoured by most igbo brothers who have never left the SouthEast Zone in their entire Life's..

Go and tell igbo boys in Computer Village, Alaba to relocate to east and see what their replies will be...A capital NO...

Igbos are industrious people who are ready to move to any part of Nigeria to do business..I visited Maidugri last year and to my surprise I saw lots of igbos with big provision stores still doing business there... I met one of them to ask why he hasn't relocated because of Bokoharam insurgency... He Said "Business isn't easy to just relocate back to SE & he's okay there in Maidugri"

Keep Calm let's fight corruption & Greed to a standstill before actualising the dream of Biafra....

You can ask our SouthSudan Brothers "how market now"

Indians and scam

5 & 6

As a big brother

yes


But economically thinking , NO

Written & Submitted July 17th 2015

Ever since former President Goodluck Jonathan lost the presidential election on March 28, 2015 which some of us knew he would never win based on the facts that we all knew and the statistics available, a majority of the Igbo have been unhappy and angry. They have been cursing and abusing the President and the All Progressives Congress leaders wishing that President Buhari never existed and the APC never formed. Many of them have been so frustrated after the election that they are now looking for a way to get back to the APC-controlled Federal Government.

Now, one Nnamdi Kanu who has been dreaming about the State of Biafra has provided a space for them to vent their anger. Some of them have joined him to begin to wish for the State of Biafra. Suddenly, the so-called Radio Biafra has created a momentum for them. On Facebook, I have watched with keen interest what these guys dish out on a daily basis in the name of fighting for Biafra. They tell blatant lies, create havoc, make terrible noise, they abuse other Nigerians, and they preach unimaginable propaganda and hate that at once put Igboland in potential danger. I have been waiting for the South-East governors to speak up but they have maintained a deafening silence that suggests complicity. I have also waited for our elders to caution this young man but nothing has happened. With the so-called Radio Biafra, Kanu has unleashed an unimaginable trailer-load of lies and potentially dangerous propaganda that have put the Igbo nation in danger. It is now 45 years after the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War and I think that Igbo must rise up to stop this man who apparently never saw the 1967-1970 Civil War and who may not know the implications of what he is doing. He has never consulted anybody to seek his opinion. He has been speaking to the gullible and not too educated people in Igboland, and very soon these uneducated people will take a dangerous decision that may decimate and destroy Igboland. Soon, our people will start complaining that they were not consulted. To be fore-warned is to be fore-armed.

Last week, I saw a photo of a group of people that gave the impression that they are getting a military training somewhere in Igboland. Later, I saw another photograph on Facebook with some youths bearing guns and Kanu standing with them. I may not know where these pictures came from and what they are planning to do but this is the time to speak out and I urge anybody who is anybody who understands where we are coming from to stand up now to be counted. Woe betides a nation whose leaders are children. If we elders do not talk about this evil, posterity will never forgive us. Let us speak out and if these children do not hear us, then it should be on record that we spoke. About a month ago, the barrage of lies and uncontrolled propaganda Radio Biafra dished out everyday drew the attention of the National Broadcasting Commission which asked Nigerians to stop listening to the pirate radio station.

Now, here are compelling reasons why the Igbo must remain in Nigeria in their own interest:

The Igbo fought a civil war of self-determination between 1967 and 1970 and lost about one million people. This should be taken as a huge price for the unity of this country. Having made this monumental supreme price, I think the Igbo should work for the unity of this country based on social justice, equity and fair play.

Nigeria has three major ethnic groups: Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo. The Hausa/Fulani Empire has Hausa people stretching all through the Sahel to the Sudan. They are mostly Muslims and they have contact with the Arab world. The Yoruba nation has Togo, Benin Republic, Sierra Leone and even up to Brazil and Cuba to run to where their kinsmen are. The Igbo nation has no outlet anywhere in the world where the language is spoken. Therefore, they must see Nigeria as where they belong and work for its survival.

Nigeria provided a big space for the Igbo to spread their tentacles, explore, excel and blossom. The South-East is too small for this highly mobile and dynamic people to thrive.

The world pays attention to Nigeria today because of our size and population. If Nigeria splits into smaller countries, the world will pack their bag and baggage and leave. Population and size make a nation a destination.

Ndigbo control between 60 and 70 per cent of all the imports in Nigeria and other Nigerians, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Ijaw, Efik, Birom, Tiv, Idoma etc provide a huge market for Igbo mobile and big-time traders.

Monumental inter-marriages between the Igbo and Yoruba and other ethnic groups have thrived for close to 70 years now that we cannot just dismiss all these with a wave of the hand.

Ndigbo own huge and massive investments in property in Lagos and Abuja, and other state capitals in Nigeria. Now, are you going to wish all this away?

Other Nigerian cities have provided safe havens for the Igbo as places to run to cool off whenever self-inflicted crises arise or other problems. When kidnapping became a way of life in the South-East, our people moved to other parts of Nigeria to settle. Now, where will the Igbo go when confronted with these problems in Biafra?

How can the Igbo thrive without their Lagos and Abuja or Port Harcourt? What happens to all their connections and relationships in these places?

We have been so intermarried, interwoven, intertwined, inter-related that the idea of separation may not be encouraged. I do not want to lose my friends from the other parts of Nigeria for anything.

I can go on but there is no need to continue to do so. We must be strong enough to stop this world’s old problems of looking down on people who are different from us. This is the problem of Nigeria. Nigeria’s diversity is a big plus for all of us to excel. United we stand, divided we fall. I confess that the Igbo have not played better politics in Nigeria since 1970 and that has been our bane. Anytime Nigeria wants to change a bad leadership in the country, the Igbo as a bloc will resist it. It happened in 1993 and we lost everything. In 2015, the Igbo were at it again but forces of history prevailed. The Igbo can do better than this.

However, I want Nigerian leaders to show leadership by carrying all Nigerians along in distributing power and resources. If there is no justice, there will be no peace. If there is no peace, there will be no progress. Let justice prevail.

Let us be fair to all concerned. If the truth must prevail and it must prevail, Nigeria has not been fair to Igbo since the end of the civil war. They tell us that there is no victor and no vanquished but in actions and deeds, the victors are still celebrating and enjoying the spoils of the war while the defeated are still languishing in abject neglect. For instance, of all the six zones in Nigeria, only the South-East zone has five states. We have found solace in all these because we have found out that those who are still oppressing the Igbo in Nigeria are not better. We also take solace in the findings of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council that all acts of indignity against human persons, against human society debase the perpetrators more than the victims. It is not that the offended cannot forgive but have the offenders repented? This injustice must stop now for the sake of unity of this country. I wrote Igbos: 25 Years After Biafra in 1995 thinking that the book will prick the conscience of other Nigerians but they have not paid any attention. It has been business as usual. Now, President Buhari must address this injustice. Case rested!

Researchers at Michigan State University were part of a team to discover a new natural defense against HIV infection.


The team's discovery, featured in the current issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, focuses on ERManI, a protein that prevents the HIV virus from replicating.

"In earlier studies, we knew that we could interfere with the spread of HIV-1, but we couldn't identify the mechanism that was stopping the process," said Yong-Hui Zheng, MSU associate professor of microbiology and molecular genetics and co-author of the study. "We now know that ERManI is an essential key, and that it has the potential as a antiretroviral treatment."

Antiretroviral treatments are not vaccines; they simply keep HIV in check in low levels in the body. While it could be decades before an ERManI-based treatment can be prescribed for HIV-1 patients, these results provide a strong path for future research involving human cells, and later, clinical tests.

The next steps will be to test if HIV resistance can be promoted by increasing ERManI levels, said Zheng, who worked on the study with scientists from the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the University of Georgia.


Most viruses have viral envelopes, or protective skins, that comprise similar building blocks of the host the pathogens are trying to infect. On the surface of the envelope, there are viral glycoproteins, known as Env spikes, which act as valets, leading viruses to binding sites that allow infections to spread at the molecular level. They serve as a key of sorts that gives viruses entry into the host to begin spreading.

Zheng's lab was the first to show that HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein biosynthesis can be specifically inhibited by ERManI, which is a host enzyme to add sugars to proteins. By identifying ERManI as the target that slows the spread of HIV-1, the team has revealed a target in which future natural therapies can be developed.


More than 1.2 million people in the United States have HIV. In China, doctors diagnosed 104,000 new cases of HIV/AIDS in 2014. The number of infections is rising, though overall the country still has a low rate of infection.


Currently, there is no cure for HIV-1; once patients have it, they have it for life. While there are antiretroviral therapies available, they can only prolong life, albeit dramatically, but they cannot cure the disease. Current drug treatments have to be taken for a lifetime, which causes side effects and many other issues, Zheng said.


"We see a way to treat this disease by helping the body protect itself," he said. "That's why we continue to move our research forward, seemingly slowly at times, because finding a cure will take years. We feel that's it's important enough, on a world-wide scale, to dedicate our work to fighting this disease."
