@OP

It is very embarrassing that a Nigerian will vomit such a question and most respondents are dancing around it as if it fell from the sky. It was due to the nepotistic acts of Balewa’s administration since 1961 to have many northerners in the army which led to the first coup in Nigeria. When some of us agitate for equal number of states in each political zones of Nigeria, few moronic ninnies will describe such request as tribally induced.

Nigeria practices ill-informed federal character and quota system without making sure that the common denominator for such system, thus equal number of states in each federating zone, must be equal. Northerners would not have allowed such imbalance in number states in each political zone in Nigeria to exist. Even if it meant upgrading a LGA to Statehood in order to achieve equal number of states in south, northern politicians will do anything to destroy such imbalance. They would even employ the help of goofy southerners to make their bid.

Even if BBC and British government turned around today to facilitate the disintegration of Nigeria, I shall never forget what they did to Biafrans or forgive them for aiding perpetration of genocide on the people who simply wanted a place they can call home.

All these nonsense is being sensationalized by BBC since British crude oil companies are not fully running crude oil show in Nigeria.

[quote author=One_Naira]I call it like I see it. No matter how you front, dude be proud of what you are. I've read many of your posts and despite the fact you try so hard to hide your true self, each time it comes out brightly even a blind man could see it.
BTW: Your so called Igbos will invade ND came from Nairaland. There isn't and have never been any record of attacks, war or fight between Igbos both in SE or SS over land dispute with any tribe in ND. Even on this thread, you wrote to another member who wrote "Igbo have never claimed another person land", your reply to him was "I guess you've never seen dede's post" So you are allowed to use NL to spin whatever story you want but I'm not allowed to do so. Comical!!! BTW: I gave you a reality for you to check out. Unlike you, I go with real and observation on NL. Like I said before, go and read why mid-west opted out of western region.



ROFLMFAO so now since the foot in on the other foot, that's when you remember NL is not a reliable source. I laugh in Chinese. dude you are a comic



I'll say this once more "Go and read why mid-west opted out of western region". I deal with reality.



ROFLMFAO @ the first words from this paragraph. Whatever it is you tell yourself, as long as you get a good night sleep from it. Lastly, I'm not ashamed of anything cause I called it like I saw it. Your entire post focused on SS and SE supposedly "imaginative" war. Despite adding "one or two post to make yourself appear neutral which brought the term "the biggest bigot trying to act neutral" words. I will call you out for what you are. As for the so called "suspicion among groups in the east. I'll readdress this, was this suspicious prevalent prior to Biafra war? No. Was it not a statement implanted by the Nigerian populace to the east in effort to destroy Biafra move? Yes. Have there till this day been any record of fighting, war, etc over land between the mid-west and the east? Why no. You disregarded the trading statement why? because it does not fit with your make belief statement. I gave you that for a reason. The entire groups that live in present day SS and SE have been living together, trading together for eons. If one group wanted the lands of the other groups, opportunity for them to take it has been available for eons, how come they did not? Unlike you I deal with reality, not some make belief bs. Lastly to address the mid-west opting out of western. Dude the main reason is because of marginalization, fear of colonization and political colonization.



You didn't say it but any one that reads your post can see your implication. Out of the three main ethnicity of Nigeria, you spoke ill of the east and the north. Spoke of a so called "future" war between the minorities of both in the East and the North while the west would have a little tussle and hassle but nothing major would occur unlike the biggest, imaginative, story you spoke for the other regions. Dude you are a propaganda machine as I informed you. You try very much but we've read that bs so many times without it becoming a reality. It's getting boring and funny to tell you the truth.[/quote]Please do not pay any attention to Kingofool. The poster is an irredeemable lapper who headed to miserable end. There is no doubt the dingbat’s ancestors are noted for bearing falsehood and turning facts into fictions and vanities. It is not surprise the moronic ninny has already misquoted me. I have never claimed any land belonging to any credible or non-credible ethnic group in Nigeria. Igbo land is vast and rich with anything human.

The issue of land grab should fall on the feet of imbecilic gulls who initiated the redrawing of ethnic boundaries through boundary adjustment of 1976 and demonic spirited means to rename places that once belong to a certain ethnic group in order to create doubts about original ownership. A case in point is Obigbo to Oyigbo. There is nothing intellectually or meaningfully about Oyigbo to the people of Asa.

Kingofool is a chip from old dumb-azz block who fails to worry about Yoruba boundaries with Fulani and Nupe but constantly lose sleep about the boundaries of Igbo land.

dabossman: And who told you that the people of the Niger Delta want to be part of Biafra your Biafra? You need the oil, abi? Well, forget it! You can go and import crude oil from Sokoto. The ND has no need for thee.

I personally do not know any region in Nigeria called Niger Delta. In fact geographically, there is no Niger Delta. I guess you get your identity correctly before delving into area beyond your intellectual pedigree such as who got crude oil and not.

If Nigeria disintegrates today, there must be a Republic of Igbo land as a nation and country period. The human endeavor to actualize Republic of Igbo land shall never and can not be negotiable.

I guess federal government should start the work force reduction by eliminating Sanusi’s position as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria which is one among series of political appointments.

I am amazed there is no massive protest in Nigeria calling for the dismissal of this goon for his political gaffe

[quote author=ekt_bear]I would do the same thing. I suspect that most guys would...we love our mothers more than our fathers.[/quote]You have disappointed me with this post. Africans love our parents equally. Any African boy, regardless how small and can fire a weapon, would have physically intervened instead of killing one of the parents. In my neck of wood, the boy will be required to leave town without setting his feet ever again in the town.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Your attempt to keep your biafra dreams alive falls on its face again. There will be no effective spontaneous crave to disintegrate this great country because the great Nigerian Army, Airforce, Godogodos, will vigorously put out that fire of spontaneity, before you can say Jack Robinson.[/quote]My Biafran dream has never died. So your attempt to generate issue about keeping a certain dream alive ends in futility. I have not made any attempt to shred the cesspit called Nigeria into pieces. When I am ready to push for disintegration of Nigeria, my deliberate action shall be among the spontaneous jigs no force can stop. Are you referring to the same Nigerian army that young Biafran men had on stranglehold until Gowon dispatched SOS to Britain?

saintneo: N. Ireland, Scotland and Wales all have SEPARATE parliaments and First Minister.

I know for sure that Wale and Scotland play in the World Cup as independent countries so does England. In fact, I do not care if disintegration of Nigeria will open worst era of social decadence, it is disintegration now and forever.

Please can someone inform Mr. Festus Odimegwu that he a nincompoop? He can shove Nigeria and its citizenship. The so-called moronic leaders of Nigeria can not properly organize the daily sweeping of a market square talk less of accounting for correct demography of the people. This is another wasteful exercise designed to embezzle money.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]No provision whatsoever, be it contained in the amalgamation of 1914 document, or any other, supersedes the constitution of this great country of Nigeria. The constitution deems it treason to attempt to secede, besides, the great Nigerian Army, Airforce, and Godogodos will be ready to met out appropriate treatments to "enterprising" treasonous criminals. [/quote]Nigeria’s laws on paper mean absolutely nothing if the crave to disintegrate the cesspit called Nigeria becomes spontaneous. Let me remind you that today is not yesteryear of 1967. Baring level-headed negotiations on delineation of boundaries of the emerging countries and absence of the whims of cultural proximity to bond people together, war of attrition is fairly predictable.

ijaw citizen: You Igbos should realize that their is nothing like "Old Eastern Region" anymore. So if you wanna make reference to US working together, pls learn how to use terms like "Biafrans & Niger Delta Peoples (Nations)

In trying to make us working together, you spread MISCONCEPTIONS that Ijaws are trying to subdue other niger deltans and be lord over them.

We Ijaws know our boundary and respects the boundaries of our Neighbours. So when we use terms like Niger Delta or Niger Delta Republic, we're not talking about an Ijaw republic even if the Niger Delta republic Isaac Adaka Boro fought for is made up of the Ijaw enclaves of the Niger Delta. We are not Expansionist or Imperialist like the Biafrans

At least, there was a legally constituted region known as eastern region of Nigeria. In contrast, there is nothing legally or constitutionally about th termed Niger Delta or South-south region in Nigeria. There are weightless political or geographical terms or references in Nigeria such as the so-called Niger Delta or South-south.

As much as historical facts stand on its feet, Biafra remains a country formed out of the defunct eastern region of Nigeria. Only an ill-informed dingbat will equate Biafra with ethnicity in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, Ndigbo may opt to ditch Biafra for Republic of Igbo land if Nigeria should see disintegration tomorrow. I do not think Ijo will stand a chance if a free-for-all debacle should follow at the point of Nigeria’s disintegration. There could be many contending forces within and across the borders of present day Nigeria.

It is unfortunate some people failed to comprehend the secret massage King Abu Shuluwa has imbedded in his interview. Anybody knows that if Nigeria did not disintegrated through the wisdom displayed on negotiating table, the land map will not pan out in the manner suggested by Chief King Abu Shuluwa.

demmy: Actually any Nigerian can apply for license, lease or contract to prospect for oil offshore. The problem is the typical Nigerian ignorance, they confuse prospecting for oil (oil block) for oil itself. Many Nigerians after having been awarded the oil blocks suddenly realized that they have no idea how, or the finance to bring out oil from deep under water. You can Google to see how much oil rigs cost. Or the technical knowledge needed. My point is its not beans to make money from oil blocks so don't change your career yet.

Everybody knows it is not beans to make money from oil blocks however the issue in discussion bordered on the corrupt practices in Nigeria and the absurd manners which the leaders and cabals share the national wealth among themselves and the ladies they blow.

It is a human who was behind the mapping of Nigeria, onshore\offshore, into blocks for prospecting crude oil. These groups of humans are the cabals in Nigeria that control everything in Nigeria except daylight, night, rain and air. Have you seen people like Mrs Alakija who satisfy the needs of the cabals in Nigeria draw blank on the prospecting crude oil blocks?

It is foolhardy for anybody to assume that every Joe in Nigeria can bid for OPL. If such scenario is obtainable, there could have been, at least, one million Nigerian women in the mould of Mrs Alakija. Again, the bid to OPL is not open to anybody and process of awarding of such license to a woman does not base on the lady’s good looks alone.

Abali1: I don't know about Iweala, but if you ask me I think the other Nigerian Alive who should be on that list apart from Achebe is WOLE SOYINKA.
I am Igbo, but I respect Kongi more than I do Achebe, even though am in awe whenever I come across Achebe's work.

But in the Nigeria that I grew up, Soyinka as well as Gani Fawehenmi, of blessed memories, are the great thinkers Nigeria has ever produced. Radicals who are not afraid to speak the truth.

Radicalism is not a thinker’s forte. Also, incessant and useless political demonstrations good enough to instigate public nuisance do not constitute into qualities that form a thinker. As a person, I do have utmost respect for Wole Soyinka as a man who acts on the whims of his convictions.

Nigerians are very forgetful indeed. I shall not blame OP on the tribal taunt because it was not long ago when the same minister of aviation was accused of tribalism for trying to make a certain airport in Nigeria accessible to international travelers. Everything in Nigeria is tribal and could only being denied by those who have their heads buried in the sand.

chosen04: she has an oil bloc that pulls in N157 million a day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SW peeps robbing the natural resources of SS people and not contributing a kobo to their "host upkeep"

They contributed through siding with northerners to prosecute the war against Biafra. I guess the crude oil block came to Mrs. Alakija through northern connections.

obasy09: I still believe that a united nigeria is better than a divided one and that unity is the only antidote to the numerous problems facing Nigeria. If division occurred today, further divisions will follow. However, if unity is unattainble then division remains inevitable. Notwithstanding, if I am to choose btw united Nigeria and a divided one, I'll choose the former.

Beliefs are stream of thoughts that produce actions or opinions. However, reality is a scene beyond the horizon of belief. Nigeria’s steady waddle steps without pronounced socio-political advancement are stark reality. I honestly disagree with you that once divided begets division. Those of us in today’s Nigeria who would want further division after the initial disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria could as well stay back in it. However, I do not think such scenario is necessary among people who can point out one or two cultural roots as the bases for unity and patriotism.

Ediskcab: KARACHI........ Dats d capital of Pakistan.

While we hope 4 better days, i think we shld also carefully xpect d worst. In d comming months, dis religious violence might b taken 2 an unprecedented level. Nigeria is leading an Ecomog offensive against islamic militants in Northern Mali, d same grp with ties 2 BH. I think wot dis islamists r working on is distabilizing our Confused nd uncrious govt.

It is Islamabad since 1960. It succeded Karachi.

Nigeria is definitely on a backward slide. It is also called socio-political behavior marred by inherent stupidity. The description in the OP is a mark of inherent foolishness registered among Africans which deletes the essence of CPM in their everyday circle of thought. In addition, it is an extroversive display to excite moronic cross section of people by dunces who were spurred by errs of personality.

When new Owerri capital territory came to public notice, I inquired about the subsystems of wastewater collection and drinking water supply plans. The subsystem plans would have required the main pipes for these basic systems should be laid out in conjunction with the network of roads. The main pipes that will carry wastewater and drinking water had to run beneath the roads. Today, the new Owerri territory is recklessly besieged by individual boreholes and sewage wells.

Anybody who thinks disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria engenders inevitabilities such as war is ill-educated and probably one reason Nigeria is so backward. We must agree to disagree without fighting a war. The example of the people who decided to go their separate ways rests with Eastern European countries and USSR where people who had lived together longer than Nigerians yet they decided to part ways.

Nigeria must divide to move forward. I have spent considerable time in Nigeria and can not point out bases for unity or sense of patriotism. Nigerians are simply delusional and stuck in denial by the empty rants of unity. There is no iota of unity in the socio-political fiber of Nigeria.

Katsumoto: Do you guys engage your brains before making ludicrous statements?

First, Awo made that statement in 1947; long before Independence and before Ndigbo aligned with the North to form the first government.

Second, anyone who calls the USSR an ally of Britain during the height of the cold war,clearly hasn't done much reading.

Third, Are Yoruba folks joined at the waste with Ndigbo? Why must Yoruba folks fight secession just because thats what Ndigbo wanted? Did Ojukwu not applaud and embrace the unitarism implemented by Ironsi, only to declare a return to confederationism after Igbos lost out in the power game?

The problem with some of you is that you think you are smarter than others when in fact you are no smarter than a 9 year old.

I guess Cheetah can not hide its spots. You were one of those ill-informed Yoruba chaps who frowned at Zik’s choice of words and phrases in praising CKC, Onicha after trouncing St Gregory, Lagos during 1944 win the war soccer match played in Lagos.

I reminded you that Zik wrote in the context of protectorate because Nigeria was not a sovereign nation or independent country. It is laughable you suddenly realized Awo’s comment in 1947 was in a context when acreage known as Nigeria was not yet an independent country.

Katsumoto: I should quit reading published articles but I should accept your version of events? Because you are ..... ?

I am not into telling stories. However, I suggest you accept eyewitness account such as Achebe’s for once in your life.

Katsumoto: Not as slow as someone who believes Awo baited Biafra into fighting a war it was doomed to lose. That Awo must have been a god.

At least my account is published while you have to refer to beer parlour gist. Oponu

You have been twisted out of human form due to the eyewitness account published by Achebe yet you found favor in the conjectural craps published by people who were thousands of miles away in their cozy offices taking formative instructions from governments sympathetic to Nigeria.

Katsumoto: You took my words too literally. The facts are that Biafra preferred night drops because it aided the supply of arms as well.


"It is an emotive accusation but, in Biafra at least, it turned out to be wide of the mark. The Nigerian government was actually remarkably forgiving when Biafra finally surrendered, integrating its army and civil service back into federal structures and compensating people for property lost during the war. International observers testified that they found no evidence of genocide, although the famine and war death had been considerable.

Oxfam subsequently admitted that it had fallen "hook line and sinker" for a propaganda campaign by Biafra's government who hired a PR firm to promote their cause. The image which was to become iconic was of starving children, which journalists, like the young Frederick Forsyth, realised "struck a nerve" because they reminded postwar Europe of the Nazi death camps.

The ICRC's silence during the Holocaust made it particularly vulnerable to Kouchner's accusation. But objective historical accounts shows that it its relief effort was at least as effective as that of the other agencies and its attempts to preserve its neutrality was a principled contrast to those who allowed themselves to be politically manipulated. The government of Biafra effectively taxed agencies bringing in supplies and used the money to keep the war going. It turned down the offer of a supervised "land corridor", realising how dramatic the night flights had become, and also used them as cover for bringing in weapons along the same route.

Most humanitarian agencies now accept that their intervention in Biafra was badly thought out and, by prolonging the war for an extra 18 months, exacerbated the suffering of those that they were trying to help. If the "business" of humanitarian aid is to reduce human suffering than actions which increase it should presumably be subject to some sort of sanction. Yet it is doubtful if anyone suffered any disciplinary action from Biafra. On the contrary, it proved a huge boost to the careers of a number of individuals and to a creed of "political humanitarianism" that became a prototype for future interventions."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/sep/20/humanitarianerrors


See link below for proof of Ojukwu not allowing relief agencies to drop aid at times different from arms drops.

http://books.google.gr/books?id=KxiKPeQyiakC&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=landing+fees+biafra+ojukwu&source=bl&ots=9b32DbMfDR&sig=xPMnD19K0czQY9pPkxa1WRXEBlI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Atl0UPmcKInOswbwmYBo&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=landing%20fees%20biafra%20ojukwu&f=false

Again, for umpteenth time, Biafra did not prefer night drops to day drops because it aided the supply of arms as well. You have already stated Biafran authorities did not have much say on the relief effort in the previous post. When the Relief Organizations wanted to smash the total blockade on Biafra by boldly attempting drops during the daylight, the DC4 ferrying foods and medicines was shot down in Calabar by Nigerian MIG fighter planes and no single cartridge was found among debris from the downed plane.

There was a reason for night drops and I shall let you figure it out. Please quit reading all these obscure printed junks.

Eko Ile: Are you not too old to be acting dumb and re/tarded? Was ojuku speaking English or German in the video?

You are even useless that I thought...

Eko Ole

There is no doubt your entire lineage is dumb, useless and re/tarded Of course, Ojukwu spoke English Language but the issue here is if you understood the language to realize that Ojukwu did not mention “landing fee” but payment for jobs certain Biafrans performed for the relief organizations as they would have paid their staffs on the ground in Biafra.

I am sure you are stark blind that you did not notice the MIG 17 swooped low to strike unarmed civilians

kingingkinging: So poor in reasoning, so poor in analysis. Pls try to read any book on logic or philosophy. You have never read anything about theory of cause and effect in your life. Why should Nigeria feed Biafra? That is the only question that is begging for answer now. Why? If Biafra had known it could not feed herself then she should have surrendered. Or you expect Israel to feed Iran or vice versa? Very poor tribe in reasoning. Pls blame your forefathers-Ojukwu, Azikwe, Achebe for your 2m people that died, how many of their children died? Today Achebe has for PHD holder children, same for Ojukwu but wasted your sensless Igbo follwers who could not reason.

Mr logic and sound reason, please note that blockade can be partly or totally. Nigeria was not expected to feed Biafra but fight fairly. It is against the international law to slam total blockade on the people whom you could possibly term as compatriots. How could Biafra know it might not feed itself when it was not allowed to exist as country for a month?

If Biafar had enjoyed the period of sovereignty Israel and Iran had as countries, your idiotic illogicalities would have come into play in this debate. Only an imbecilic ninny such as you will repeatedly equate Biafra to a particular ethnicity in Nigeria. I guess you are dastardly devoid of logic and sound reasoning after all.

Again, if you are a Yoruba, I say kpele because cowardice is very inherent among the people. I shall clap for you on the day menacing grip by cowardice will allow Yoruba to perpetrate a mere coup de’tate in Nigeria. The act of load mouthing on Internet does not cut it.

Katsumoto: And what does it say about smuggling in weapons with aid?

Does it mandate that aid must be flown in at night like ojukwu demanded so as to smuggle weapons?

What are the rules concerning inspection of aid?

Ojukwu was not in a position to dictate how and when aid is transported.

Biafra could have had food if it was flown in in the afternoon but ojukwu refused. So who is to blame?

What are your thoughts on the rest of my post? What about responsibilities of biafran high command.

There was no weapon smuggled into Biafra by the CARITAS or RED CROSS.

Again, you have written out of ignorance as usual. Ojukwu did not demand that aid flights into Biafra should be performed at night. At this juncture, exploratory research could have helped you but you are bent on “copy and paste”.

It is an eyewitness inspection and both CARITAS and RED CROSS presented such opportunity to Nigeria to send inspectors to Fernando Po, Equatorial Genuine which was neutral in the complicit and served as port of transshipment.

You simply can not eat your bloody cake and have it. In one stance, you wrote Ojukwu demanded that the shipment of foods and medicines be carried out at night while in another, you wrote Ojukwu was not in a position to dictate how and when aid is transported.

Ojukwu did not refuse the freighting foods and medicines into Biafra under the daylight. The night operation was called into action due to the inhuman nature of the total blockade on Biafra by Nigerian government. Again, I urge you to research a little on the subject matter and stop enjoying propaganda.

Only nonentities who knew nothing about warfare will blame Ojukwu on the rejection of the offer to allow foods and medicines into Biafra from Nigeria during the war.

docokwy: Hahahaha! The oil in Ondo is offshore. The North is fighting hard to abrogate the onshore-offshore dichotomy. When that happens, Ondo will be zero.

What you wrote about Ondo State on Offshore\Onshore is applicable to other states except Abia and Imo State. I really do not join issues with nonsensical junks such as the original post because it is fraudulent as Nigeria.

Anybody who does not understand the zeal behind the police action against eastern region in 1967, boundary adjustment of 1976 and the imbecilic polity of offshore\onshore dichotomy is an irredeemable fool. The only truth will surface when Nigeria disintegrates.

Eko Ile: Ode dede, but ojuku didn't deny charging landing fees...

Eko Ole

The above post is one of the reasons I tagged you a fool. Even when you are sober, you still will not realize that the phrase, landing fee, was uttered by the British narrators. I am not surprise such rubbish was pronounced by those British agents.

In such event, the organization responsible for flying foods are responsible for paying the people who offload and load the foods and materials. I am not surprised that you displayed such lack of knowledge that UN or UNHCR pay their staffs or persons who perform such jobs in ware torn countries, olodo.
