Take this discourse to Twitter,it will generate More interest. Our people are killed without mercy while terrorist are giving a presidential treatment in the other parts of Nigeria.
Enough is enough and this can no longer be acceptable to us as Igbo people whether ipob member or not. Our brothers must not be killed like chickens any longer

The Twitter Handle will be up soon, thanks for the suggestions, I will DM you once it is set up

common sense is far from this one

As far as it makes you mind your business, I'm good, between, it is only something worse than a pig that contemplate wrestling with a pig in the first place...so you just realised too late you hit the wrong Igbo guy...

If you love your Igbo land the best thing you can do is to work toward peaceful co efficient of your region.Nobody is dragging your land with you but yourselves that living double standard by condoling stupidity. If you want Biafra work towards it,If you like one Nigeria build Bridges of politics and relationship with other regions in Nigeria.you can't win any war with chest beating as usual .Create peace in your region .The first thing is peace and enabling environments as you all enjoying in south west that make many of you claiming it as yours.

No body is dragging your South west with you, nobody cares whatever your southwest is made of gold or not, all we are saying is we can't take anymore killings of our people, we are not going to fold our arms and pretend like what happened to Abiola, if you hit one Igbo man, you hit all of us, is it too big to understand, this situation did not take place in your south west, are you from Eastern region, why not mind your region, are you Igbo, are you IPOB, are you a security agent, please keep your hate to yourself, we are awaken by reality, you may keep sleeping...let me make it clear to you that we don't care about your opinion. Defending our lives matters to us. Keep out of Igbo issue, face your zone, I thought you said we shouldn't come running to southwest, so stop intruding in Igbo affairs, the last time I checked Igboland is the only region where 98% of the land belongs to indigenous Igbos, if you think you can pursue Igbos out of Yoruba land, can you also pursue the Hausa/Fulani out of Lagos, with or without Igbos, Lagos especially can never be a homogenous Yorubaland again, that's a take home from me so that you can learn to mind your business...

These people are playing in line with what makes the north ,,,the region of Insecurity .though Killing should not be encouraged. Get back to drowning board map out your wants , Bring out Ideas with one voice . you can not be in two positions at the same time Biafra and Nigeria .If you don't believe in Biafra for now Your elders should caution your those youth to compose themselves to drop what is not realistic but if you want Biafra coordinate yourselves with one voice the world can hear your voice . you can't expect Nigeria forces encouraging a proclaimed group having meeting and activities without attacking you. Challenge the proclamation in the court of law with one voice .be specific .you can not say they are your children and condole their bad deeds .they killed police officers and you expect them not to be killed? This was how Ahusas played religions and Ethnicity game on the Bokoharam and Fulani bandit that now become a national security threats. Many of you Igbos and Ahusas will encourage unrest in your region but later flew back south west as usual .If south westerners created their as you are all doing where will you go? Many of you will stay hiding and issuing out threat that will cripple peace,unity and progress in your regions.It is high time for you people to reason beyond petty ,sentimental and emotional in respect of Regionalist in Nigeria. Elders ,kings and citizens should come out publicly to condemn Bokoharam, Bandits. likewise for Igbo's to condemn Ipobs and bandit if they know it is not yet time to fight for Biafra. You people display confusion amongst yourselves many said they don't believe in ipob yet you are saying they are your children why can't you caution or advise them the best way out how peace and unity can be in your region and set Roadmap on how you can achieve your aims and objective for the future generations .

You don't seem to get the point, IPOB is not same as Boko Haram, how is Nigeria the only one proscribing IPOB, so UK is now harbouring a terrorist that's what you are trying to say...Do you think if Nnamdi Kanu is a terrorist UK, US will allow him in their land..the double standard is the problem, you are talking about south west, those boys killed, were they killed in Lagos or Ekiti, please this is Igboland we are talking about, we love our Igboland that's why we always come back here no matter how much we travel, if you think you can bring the war to Igboland, watch out, but everyone will feel it and that may bring the total collapse of Nigeria,

IkwerrePikin:
Yes all lives matters brother and we are all in to protect our lives and properties irrespective of our ethnicity because it could be the next person tomorrow.

But please correct yourself about the igbos not benefiting from the proceeds of niger delta oil.

The truth is that, the south east states have been receiving billions of allocations from Niger delta oil money for years now. We know this and nobody should ignore that fact. Nigerians in general receive billions of niger delta crude oil money as allocations to their various state.

If Nigerians in general recieved the oil money, how then would you be worried about what south East recieved, when you even think that some Regions in the North have No oil but have up to seven state then where do your frustrations come from, the South East have just 5 state, Anambra and Imo are oil producing, compare the federal allocation that comes to the south east minus the oil proceed from Anambra and Imo let's see if south east is not almost self sufficient, if you are looking for a parasite region, that's definitely not the south east, what about the natural gas in South east...Did you care that the proceed from these south East resources are also shared nationwide...You may had been thought to hate the Igbos, you don't see what the rest is enjoying but the very little the Igbos enjoy is the problem...Now the capital of Nigeria is an Abuja, why are you not protesting it, you protested that the capital of Eastern region was in Enugu, you protested that The Refinery was built in port Harcourt, now you are protesting that the Igbos are only looking out for your oil, let me ask you within the 3 years of Biafra, did the Igbos waste your oil the way it is being wasted did we not build our own makeshift Refinery, where is Warri Refinery, where is port Harcourt Refinery are all of them not left in sorry state, a Dangote Refinery is going on in Lagos, where does that leave you, Keep chasing things away because of your view of Igbos

IkwerrePikin:
You’re simple attach by force and have no power to fight for your Biafra independently.

We rejected your biafra in 1967 and we are still rejecting it till date and you’re talking about referendum, we don’t need to conduct referendum, there is no reason for that, Niger delta republic is older than Biafra. It was declared before Biafra, Niger delta struggle predates the biafra republic struggle.

You take our rejection for biafra as hate, NO. We don’t want to be part of you simple and short. We will benefit more if we have a republic of our own.

No reasonable Niger deltan will prefer Biafra to Niger delta republic.

In biafra:

60% members of House of Representatives will be igbo (Same with north today)

60% of those in military will be igbo (same with north today)

60% of civil servants will be igbos

60% of votes will always go to the igbo block and this will them control the presidential election like we have the northerners in nigeria today.

Do you igbos think we Niger deltans are fools?

In Niger delta republic for the SouthSouth people, there will be no domination in national politics or civil service by any tribe. With our mini population, rich resources and access to the sea, we will have independent states base on ethnicity and leave together as one, intermarry and love each other peacefully.

We don’t need any of these major tribes like the igbos, yorubas or hausas.

You people can go and form your country.

If you don’t want Niger delta republic to have it’s unique country and enjoy it’s resources independently, the. You’re an enemy of the Niger delta.

Even if Niger delta and Igbo must work together to divide Nigeria, each will respect each other’s sovereignty.

I'm not talking about Niger Delta or Biafra, I'm only saying whether it is Igbo life or Ijaw life or Ikwere as they may prefer, every life matters...Let's fight to protect our lives first, if you are killed today you wont even live to see the Niger Delta or Biafra...Would we be complaining about Nigeria if things didn't get so bad...Please you can have your Niger Delta Republic but first get your life back...The oil you are so talking about since after the war, have you seen your so called oil money spent in Igbo land, did you see the federal government spending any of the proceeds from your oil on Igbo land, we dont have problem that the whole government expenditure does not include the south East, so tell me if the South East survived from a war to a time of self sustenance is it after Nigeria split that we will need your oil so badly...Igbos love for real, we are too emotional and that's the problem...Tell me why we can't stand on our own, whatever guarantee the security of our lives is what we go for all options are on table...

IkwerrePikin:
You’re talking out of point. Concentrate on your Biafra.

We Niger deltans collectively rejected your biafra and still doing so till date.

Of course we have avengers who made it clear they were fighting for the Niger delta and not just for a single ethnic group.

We Niger deltans are similar in culture, music and lifestyle. We saw Jonathan as our brother irrespective of him being ijaw.

Listen in the Niger delta when it comes to national politics we are Niger deltans first before our individual ethnicity. We are not yorubas or igbo biafra neither are we northerners. We are Niger deltans

And we Igbos saw Jonathan as our enemy abi, I will continue to say it, you are not more Naija delta than Imo or Anioma, leave Naija Delta matter for now, let's fight for our lives first, once we are free from the shackles of Nigeria we will deal with Niger Delta issue as a family affair...for now we are more concerned about stopping the bloodletting by Nigeria security and government. A simple referendum will decide whether you stay in your Niger Delta Republic or stay in a country with Igbos, don't worry by then you will only have one vote and more reasonable Niger Delta will calculate the pro and cons of staying with Igbos or not, but one thing is clear Niger Delta or not, the Igbos had lived with their neighbours for thousands of years, maybe then you will have your own country of just you as your tribesmen may willingly choose to go with the Igbos...Akwaibom and cross rivers are rebuilding more old road connecting to Igbo land and you are thinking that we are so hated by the rest of the eastern tribe, think again...

ThatFairGuy:
This is why your elders have to call those miscreants and their boss, Kanu to order.
Else, you will understand the parables of "RIPE ORANGE FRUITS, ITS TREE AND THE HARVESTER (stone thrower)".
My 2cent

You call them miscreants and you say we should call them to other, those you call miscreants you may soon understand the value of their lives. If a man tells you to beat his child, be careful how much beating you give him...Wise word

Thisis something I've been thinking of....

They think this is 1967....

We will give it to them full hand....no mincing of the pain....

As Okonkwo said, no man will come to his house and shit and he wont deal with him....

You can't kill my brothers and tell me to pray...

I'll raze you and your generations out of this planet....history will never remember that such a useless generation existed.....

Whether IPOB or not....Igbo bu Igbo.....

Nwanne Mmadu, Igbo Bu Igbo, anyi ga adi ka echi, maka na echi adi agwu agwu, onye obula kwesiri Idiri nkwadobe mana mmuo mana mmadu, Obi ebere adighozi

Xavfra:
I agree with you....

Niger Delta should have their own country while Ndi Igbo have theirs.....it will save us alot

The only problem i have with him is that he keeps saying Biafra, Niger Delta, Nigeria, the same problem. Major Efiong is from where...Niger Delta can have Niger Delta Republic if the tribes agreed to be together I have no problem with the Choices of ethnic nationalities, right now we are saying let's defend ourselves, even if Igbo land is a tiny dot in a desert we won't accept that we be killed in our land. Do you know that Imo is practically Niger Delta. All we are saying is we will retaliate the killings. Do you think you are more Niger Delta than Igbos, Nzogwu is from where, Ifeajuna is from where, even if your Naija Delta republic works, do you think there won't be Igbo presence in the Niger Delta or you think Aniomas will blow up the Niger bridge and Deny South East Igbos Access to your so called Niger Delta republic, you are funny,

Area4Area:
Chest beating at the best, get everything started this moment

Don't you think it already started, are you Igbo, are you from Eastern Region, why can't you go and start talking with your people about the way forward don't you see that Nigeria isn't what our founding fathers hoped for anymore, do you want to sink with Nigeria, dear don't be taken unaware, Nigeria is sinking the government and security that could have salvaged the situation are making it worse, once again go and start preparing for the way ahead for your people, we Igbos and progressive Easterners are already fed up

Commonsense99:
I have lectured the OP on that point, that every other id1otic tribe sees you as a Biafran and by extention an IPOB, even your best of Aboki and Yoruba friends will mock you in closet, so we can't be neighter here nor there.
Categorically, We are all Biafrans simpe and short.

I'm not saying that we are not Biafrans, but as far as Nigeria remains Standing, that entity is confusing, I don't know if you even been a war historian, think about the trojan horse, we need to change our approach, we have one objective but shouting Biafra will not get us enough support to continue. the sanctity of life is very remarkable anywhere on earth. The fact is Nigeria government don't seem to be protecting us, we should protect ourselves, let's focus on self defense, there is no way Nigeria will be able to sustain uprisings for so long, look at Boko haram, they started as a child play but now they declared their own sovereignty, seize territory that's how to go, if you declare a country, the Nigerian government will throw its whole wait on you but destabilizing the country on security ground will see the country disintegrate that's how it is done

Rugaria:
"Nigerian igbo"? What kind of noxious tag is that? Igbos who actually believe in Nigeria are the main reasons why igboland has turned into a killing field today... They always count on your understanding... You are part of the problem not part of the solution

I am Igbo get this straight, you are not more Biafran than Ojukwu and I know that Ojukwu is not more Igbo than me, The only reason Nigeria is the same today was because Ojukwu declared Biafra before the war, if he declared the war before Biafra, there could have been Biafra today, as far as you don't have Biafra, Biafran passport it is Nigerian you are, before you fly to England you need a Nigerian passport. So first destroy Nigeria as Nigerians and everyone goes home, hopefully you may go home to Biafra

Area4Area:
I don't know you so you're irrelevant in the scheme of things, swerve.
I've said mine and your crying and whining doesn't change anything and the repercussions that may visited in you by the Nigerian state

Which Nigerian state the one we are part of or do you have another Nigerian state, do you think you are more Nigerian than me, we are smart enough not to start the war as Biafrans this time, we are fighting for a defined course, protecting our lives simple, we don't look back at this, we won't have anything if we don't have life, it is only the living that will stay in Nigeria or Biafra, it is a matter of survival

Igbochief001:
is it not bloody already ? ...why would security forces respect us when our leaders don't

It is bloody that's why we need to take things up ourselves, the official will fall in line, all we need is to start developing some weapons like some surface to surface missile, 100 meter range is enough guided or not guided missile wouldn't matter, as far as we can blow up things, we need to start thinking in that direction, our best bet would be missile, gun would would not prove so useful, I will revisit some Biafran archives and personnel to see if I can find a thing or two about the previous design of the Ogbunigwe, we can start from there

Area4Area:
I hope you'd be at the forefront when they start carrying guns

There is no need for forefront, it is our home we are talking about, lets see who decide the front, it is not your business whether we take it to the back yard, to the corners etc etc we must not always take it from the forefront,

Area4Area:
I hope you'd be at the forefront when they start carrying guns

You talk as if Igbos are your sworn enemy that you love to hate, but I tell you I'm sure in reality, there is an Igbo person that is dear to you, why you think Igbos starts and ends in IPOB, or that Igbos starts and ends in Nigeria politics, or nairaland, you don't gain anything from your excessive hate, people like you are the very motivation for the Biafran agitation, you call us your country men want to us to stay but cheer the security operatives when they shoot at us, is that what you call a country man

Area4Area:
Very funny thread, two groups of people here
1. Those stylishly begging the FG not to retaliate or collectively punish the SE for IPOB's mistake yesterday,
2. The chestbeaters who know they can't stand the FG but trying to make the FG "scared" of them.

I guess what happened to Odi(Bayelsa) and Zaki Biam(Benue) is what is fuelling their fears, una go hear am when time reach

I don't even know you but you are irrelevant, if you think this is about chest beating or fear forget it, have you ever seen any of your relatives death blood stain, talk more of being killed by blood thirsty security, it is sounding funny to you because it is Igbo live we are talking about, do you think everybody is ethnic bigot engaging in nairaland ethnic bashing, please keep your insensitivity off here, our blood is not sweet so stop gloating over evil
