Explain biko?

The Acts of Union were two Acts of
Parliament : the Union with Scotland Act 1706
passed by the Parliament of England, and the
Union with England Act passed in 1707 by the
Parliament of Scotland . They put into effect
the terms of the Treaty of Union that had
been agreed on 22 July 1706, following
negotiation between commissioners
representing the parliaments of the two
countries. By the two Acts, the Kingdom of
England and the Kingdom of Scotland —which
at the time were separate states with
separate legislatures, but with the same
monarch —were, in the words of the Treaty,
"United into One Kingdom by the Name of
Great Britain".

Go and check why I'm being silence here is because I hardly argue without facts and if you open your mind you will be the one to champion Nigeria disintegration after a moment with me.

What was written in the document of surrender of Biafra? ?

When was Igbo, Yoruba and Hausas amalgamation took place, 1914 or 1967-70? Who are the signatories to 1914 documents? You see the reason why I said you are not Igbo because there's one particular region that likes rewriting history.

obailala:
The Scots have been fighting for independence for over a 1000 years, the UK has been a democratic nation for ages, but they only allowed that referendum in 2014... Don't allow that Scottish referendum fool you, the UK only dubiously gave that referendum in 2014 because they already almost knew the outcome before hand judging by the massive carrot they dangled on the faces of the Scots. We need to be realistic here, not even GEJ or the most amiable saint in this world would allow the territory he rules to be balkanised, else we would be hearing of referendums every day across the world. Unfortunately, Kanu was to some degree right when he said separation cannot be achieved through peaceful means. The most practical and the most beneficial thing to do is to call for the return of regional leadership, not outright secession.

The time for regional gov have passed and for your info Scots joined UK in more mutual way and as I'm talking to you they're preparing for another referendum.

mrvitalis:
When the people ask for referendum Nigeria will listen... Who is nnamdi Kanu?? Dose he has any position?? Who made him spoke person of the igbos...

Let the true leaders of Igbos ask

Where and where was there any signatory documents that shows Igbo, Yoruba and Hausas wants to leave together?

mrvitalis:
What demand has FG granted ohanaeze??
Ekweremmadu has never made any formal demand for Biafra... Stop lying

Have you migrated from demand to formal demand? This is attributes of Afonja and Almajiris so choose where you belong to before we can continue, no insults.

mrvitalis:
First of all am igbo... Give me one reason Nigeria should listen to nnamdi Kanu about Biafra when the people we elected as representative are not saying anything about it

What's the difference between nnamdi Kanu and a fool calling himself leader of the igbos

Why is FG listing to Ohanaeze? Who voted them? How do you want our senators to raise the Biafra issues even when Ekweremmadu tried it fight broke out in senate house.

No need to argue even dullardinhoo have said it during his media chart! Gov of CBN and kachukwu was addressed as igbos so they better trust and obey because there's no any other way.

mrvitalis:
Loool now u acting like ur mentor

Call him my mentor or not doesn't delete the fact that Nigeria will rarely have a healthy argument about Biafra because from my interactions with Northerners and some Westerners, there's this fear they have about staying alone and I asked myself why? Is it because of oil?

mrvitalis:
Bro I have called him and all I got was insult

I let me ask u same question.. . Why not form a political party and contest to be the representative of the people and let the people see ur leadership skills
If u rule well they people will vote for ur party and the party will dominate the region.. Then the party will be the rulling party in the region.. Then u can call for referendum as the party leader.. Then the UN and Nigeria can't day no... Instead of this method that will only kill people

That method only works in sane country not animal kingdom we have here so forget about it.

APCsupporter:
And this is where it all ends: online rants!

You can insult them, curse them, humiliate them, mock them and they still wont be able to do anything

Ipoop, talkless and do more. We are tired of your threats and ultimatums. Tell your people to forget about biafraudd

Ranting of Almajiri holds no water.

kropotkin2:
Nnamdi Kanu cannot be released just like that, he must first answer for his crimes and if the courts deem it right to free him, then so be it. But Buhari can never never be blackmailed into compromising the security of the Nigerian state. You can insult him all you want on the internet it wont change a thing

How many times did court of competent jurisdiction released him?

mrvitalis:
Let's say for example Biafra is gotten and nnamdi Kanu is president... What will he do if one okon gets up from no were and say he wants Republic of Oron nation and declear Oron independent??

The nnamdi Kanu we know who can't stand intellectual debate.. What will he do?? Tell me

Have your gov tried engaging him in debate? I swear if Kanu gets anyone of you in healthy chart, that day you will denounce Nigeria.

“Tell your colleagues who want Biafra
to forget about it.” This is what
President Buhari told corps members
from the Southeast as they visited the
former military ruler in his home
state of Daura, Katsina. Such
dismissive rhetoric has characterised
Buhari’s response to the agitation of
some people in the Southeastern
region of the country.

Buhari, re-lived his experience of the
1960’s Biafran war to the numerous
corpers that came to visit him.

Recounting his role as military
commander, he said, “ I walked on my
feet for most of the 30 months that we
fought the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, in
which at least 2 million Nigerians
were killed”. According to a
statement released by the President’s
Senior Special Assistant on Media,
Mallam Shehu Garba, Buhari said
separation was not the answer to
their (Biafran agitators) grievances,
telling them that the nation had
passed that route before with dire
consequences. “I have seen this
country, I fought for this country and
I will continue to work for the unity
of this country”, the president added.

The president’s words, when taken
together, begin to paint the picture
that the country is better together
because a separation would end in
(necessary) causalities. Before the
message delivered to the Corp
members, he had asserted that the
country’s unity is non negotiable.

Subsequently he quoted General
Yakubu Gowon, who presided over the
1967 Civil War in saying that “to keep
Nigeria one is a task that must be
done”.

Buhari’s response to the grievances
that has stretched for nearly 50 years
has been to threaten the agitators
with the use of brute force, even
alluding to genocide. The message
here is that remaining in the Nigerian
Union is better for the citizens of
Biafra because they would be spared
from the heartache of mourning their
loved ones when an inevitable battle
ensues. This line of communication
does not only add fuel to the fire, but
goes against the democratic principles
that the former military leader
purports to uphold.

In a democratic nation, grievances
are resolved through negotiation and,
if necessary, compromise. A threat of
force is the appropriate response to
issues of national security but the
government has so far deployed the
military to thwart peaceful protests.

In several cases, this has resulted in
the loss of lives of peaceful protesters.
Biafran agitators claim that they have
been disenfranchised for decades, that
the federal government has neglected
its numerous projects in the southeast
and that they are under-represented
in the administration of the national
affairs and national resources. An
independent report coined the
‘Confab Report 2014’ addressed the
concerns of citizens in the Southeast
and proposed solutions which are yet
to be implemented. Among them is a
move towards decentralisation from
the federal government, giving more
autonomy to the state. Others include
a more inclusive power sharing
formula and the creation of new
states to allow for greater
representation of their interests.

However these suggestions have been
side-lined and in their place the
implicit threat of violence.
Buhari’s focus should be making a
compelling case as to why Biafra is
better off within than out of the
Nigerian Union. He could point out
that in African nations that have
successfully seceded haven’t found
much success (e.g.South Sudan), and
ultimately end up trading one form of
oppressive rule for another, making
the case that Biafra will ultimately be
better in a more representative and
unified Nigeria than out, making
credible commitments towards true
federalism and a decentralised state
that allows individual states to dictate
their own trajectories within the
union, a commitment to improving
the completion rate of federal projects
in the area, and commitments to
providing equal opportunities to hold
strategic positions.

The United Kingdom took this
approach in the 2014 Scottish
referendum in which the Scottish
opted to stay of their own accord
through the election. In a democratic
system, the threat of military force
over peaceful calls of a recession
hardly highlights Buhari’s
commitment to democratic rule.
While a defacto threat of genocide
may be persuasive in preventing
members of the oil rich region from
seceding in the short term, it fails to
address the core problems and only
succeeds at kicking the can down the
road.

It's high time Nigerians declare operation crocodile on Buhari

I love your sense of humor.

oyinkinola:
...if you said igbo no fit for president, you are in problem, if you said igbo should the given presidency you are in trouble, my people what igbo want in their life!

Self-determination!

shukuokukobambl:
You're free to fight for your freedom. I'm not stopping you

From today you have sworn to be of good character but I doubt if this your stands can last 24hrs? We know your type but if you prove us wrong, then good.

shukuokukobambl:
the akpu brained outcast has started going off tangent again

Awo as far back as 1947 called this contraption "a mere geographical expression" and the average Yoruba man has never stopped believing this. That's why the Yoruba never partnered with any govt to take power at the centre since independence until 2015! we believe our salvation lies in regionalism at least and that's my Creed

Soyinka is a dyed in the wool Yoruba advocate like Solarin, Like Gani Fawehinmi, like Ajasin, Like Falana, like Maiyegun etc. We speak up for the oppressed and support all rights for self determination. I will celebrate the day you get your utopian country

At least my ears will rest from the constant wailing

Belief in yourself and stop being a torn in freedoms flesh. Thanks.

Okikiki:
My opinion!

[size=25pt]Give Igbo the option of chosing where to belong.
Any forced marriage is slavery![/size]

IS REFERENDUM TOO COSTLY?

ASK BREXIT!

I wonder how somebody will leave his kin @ Benin Republic, match far away East and be chanting one Nigeria left to right like mad man, what kind of breed of human beings is this?

PentiumPro:
What exactly would Nigeria lose by allowing these ingrates to get out of this country and do their Biafra nonsense?
Beside the symbolism of a giant country, these fools offer nothing except giving Nigeria bad name outside Nigeria.

My dear tell them! They should allow these people go so that Nigeria will be great again.

shukuokukobambl:
If you like, invite Ekwensu to speak for you, na u sabi

You guys can't be named in the same sentence with focus or seriousness

Soyinka spoke up for Biafra in 1967 and was jailed. He was was lead negotiator for ND militants in 2009 that birthed amnesty. He has been known for speaking up for oppressed folks like you.

Don't panic. Your Redeemer is on the way

Yes! Nobody will ignore the love Soyinka have for Biafra. "Soyinka's love for Biafra nation was based on his beliefs that only Biafra freedom will emancipate Africa from Berlin Conference resolutions." Go visit his interviews on Aljazera. I'm only laughing at your gov efforts to try to mislead people on IPOB tsunami that is hitting East coast. For your info there's sane people in West but Amala wouldn't allow them speak up.

attackgat:
The leader of the new organisation is "Ikemba Biafra"? These people must have gone to Ali Baba to learn comedy.

" In a statement signed by its National Director of
Publicity, Ikemba Biafra, RE-IPOB described the
new leader, Jonathan Kurubo, from Bayelsa state
as a true son of Biafra who believes in the cause
and dignity of the marginalized people of the old
Eastern region."
You see how mad people carry propaganda?
Bring Ojukwu name, Jonathan name and synthesize it.
Are you sure these gov wouldn't go unclad before the sun rises?

Laughable, Kanu the greatest fear of lugardian contraption. Even Fulani herdsmen and Bokoharam are not giving this gov headache more than IPOB. The worst part is their propaganda is a cheaper one.

Victorvexz:
My guy ur eye go soon clear when we are done with Ipob. Keep worshipping Kanu. It's only a matter of time.

Haven't you done your worst? What else is still left? We have trashed you severally on media propaganda you now went violent to extent of shooting him yesterday at kuje.

shukuokukobambl:
chei!!

Who is messing with ipob?

Even Soyinka a yoloba man will speak for them

Anyway FFK and Fayose are already fighting their battles for them

Are you not tired? The same Soyinka your media propaganda fabricated to speak for NDA and was refuted within 24hrs. All these useless propaganda is giving you multiple orgasm? Mercy for your self!

JayJohnson:
Which one concern you olori pelebe, flat head? go back an star selling your gala in Oshodi which you cannot sell in Enugu!! Second class citizens of Nigeria

But really, did your ancestors fall from sky? I thought that story was fabricated.

Newmanluckyman:
...if this is the REASON why nigerians should stick together whether in life or death, poor or rich, then NLC boss comments are too lame, outdated, stupid, hypocritical and unconvincing.

Gbam!
