You see my name ; Unimke(it means God's gift) ; im a typical obudu man.

Biafra isn't popular in CRS.

Shebi the protest is tomorrow; I will observe.

Nobody even knows they'll b a rally 2moro

You are a terrible learner indeed. If you are knowledgeable enough, you would have no business to mention Oba Akenzua as primary factor while personalities such as Omo-Osagie, Chike Ekwuyasi, Okotie-Eboh and Dennis Osadebe as notable mention. By the way, I did not read about Chief J. Itomi.

Kirigidi:
Igbos (blacks) claimin d same origin or lineage wit Jews/Israelis (whites)? Dat must b a joke of d century! But on a serious note, wen ar we blacks goin to b proud of our unique distinct identity? Wen ar we goin to stop twistin history just to attach ourselvs to pipo who care little about us (som racists)? Igbos ar typical negroes while d Jews ar semitic pipo relatd to d Arabs. Dere is no tangible similarity btw Igbos nd Israelis in terms of language, culture nd physical appearnce. If at all any tribe shuld claim Jewish origin, dat shuld b d Fulanis because it is well documentd in history dat d Fulanis were products of intermarriages btw negroes (d Sonnikes, Malinkes, Wollofs) nd North African Jews who fled d Maghreb to d Senegambia region of West Africa followin d invasion of North Africa by Arab Moslems. Even up til today, d (whiteman's) physical features common to all semitic pipo such as curly hairs, narrow nose, straigt face, thin lips nd light-skin can still b noticed in d bodily appearnce of many Fulanis.

Timbuktou:
Where was his family to call their son to order when he was arranging for the elimination of the sons and fathers of other families. He has made his bed, he will lie on it.

julixomo:


Family of the detained promoter of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu have urged the Federal Government to order the release their son from detention that they are not even sure of him being alive.
His father, the monarch of Isiama Afaraukwu in Umuahia North Council Area of Abia State said he was surprised at the prolonged detention of his son.

[quote][b]My grandmother Princess Okukuba W.D.Goodhead...immediate senior sister to His Majesty The King...was almost executed by firing squad by the invading Nigerian Military led by her Nephew Capt. Erasmus J.T.Princewill son of her elder brother King J.T.Princewill,Amachree X11....on her support for Biafra.

My grand Aunty who was nickname Madam Biafra....grand mother of a former Foreign Minister of Nigeria was taking through very painful torture before execution.
My maternal uncle one of the first lawyers in the Eastern Region never return home till his death because of his support for Biafra.
My father was a Biafran officer in the medical Corp.

My statement is recorded on tape....I never said we were taught....I said we were told many stories by our elders which we now discovered to be false.

On abandon property.....my Father or Mother did not benefit from properties left behind by Igbos....infact my family lost a lot of properties at Iguta.

All my great grand Mothers except one were Igbos.

The ancestral stool I occupy today...Edi Abali was founded by an Igboman from Abom in Abam in 1782.

I am an Igbo man because Allah gracious allowed Ijaw, Igbo and Bini blood to flow in mine veins......I am not begging to be Igbo.As I will not beg to be Gambari,Yoruba or Efik .

While working for the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA) it was funny to see Igbos pretending to be from areas such as Omuma and Etche just so they could take part in the RSSDA scholarship scheme. We literally had to form a crack team to investigate the origin of some of these candidates due to the fraudulent actions. It goes to show that they know that without Rivers state their cause is lost. We give them business they benefit from our resources and they marry Rivers indigenes and get Civil Service jobs at our expense and they want to rope us into Biafra. No thanks!

Platinum thread

tbaba1234:


Listen to his broadcasts and tweets, it is a call for violence... There is a video of him soliciting for guns and bullets to fight... Is that the way forward? Is that not calling for violence?.. Study the history of the Rwandan genocide and how radio messages eventually contributed to the carnage

Since the civil war, Igbos have occupied all major positions in Nigeria apart from presidency. Top ministerial positions, vice president, Military chiefs etc... In every part of Nigeria, Igbos run their businesses successfully. They intermarry and have children with other tribes.

Achieving the presidency means you have to form alliances with other regions.... With a good political strategy, it is possible.

I come from a relatively smaller tribe and we have not achieved as much as the igbos from the federal government in that regard.

That said, A biafra locked within Nigeria would be dependent on Nigeria.. It is like Lesotho locked in south Africa.. The same Nigeria, you call a zoo.. How do you want local cooperation when your stance is hostile?

tbaba1234:


It is very different... It has no intellectual basis. It calls for violence and hate.

If South south states don't follow the Igbos as is most likely.. Biafra will be landlocked in Nigeria, meaning the economy will be inevitably linked to Nigeria

At the end of the day, a peaceful, diplomatic path should be sought.

juicee1:
liar!!!

That place is rumuola in PH. The owerri protest was no different from when workers in a pure water company are protesting about poor working conditions.

It was a huge flop. Up rochas.

NAIJASOM:


Biafra should be designed as a Confederate nation where every group is a like its own country just like the Scots, the Wales, the English and northern Ireland which all make up the united kingdom. Taxes paid to the federal government with 100% resource control. common currency and common military. Simple.

Presidency is rotational.

Edit: Have three or four capital cities just like south Africa with different administrative purposes

Pazienza: If Biafra be structured the way I personally feel and believe it would be, then no body would even want to host the capital.

If we have a totally autonomous provinces each with their own provincial governor, and total resource control.

I expect a total of like Six provinces, and each province should create as much administrative units as it can take care of.

The central government will be led by a council of the governors of each provinces who Will rotate the leadership of the council amongst themselves in a two years tenure period, such that each province gets to have their governor lead the nation as a president at various points in time.

Under such arrangement, the real power resides within the provinces and not at the centre, and the rotational principle at the centre would also be implemented at the provincial level, such that each administrative unit of any province gets a shot at leading the province.

We can also run three capital cities, the executive at the Northern part of the Akwa-Cross area, the Judiciary at the Igbo region and then the Legislative arm at the Riverine areas.

Each province contribute a percentage of its earning for the running of the central government.

No parasitism.

Mere agitation for independent nation does not engender war among people of average intellect.

makzeze:
Even though I am a northerner, what always goes on in my mind whenever an FCT Minister is appointed is 'Is it constitutional that FCT Minister must come from the North?

Since its creation in 1976, only thr first FCT minister was from the south, the rest are Northerners

Please house clear the air.

TonyeBarcanista:
Whenever the issue of Biafra comes up for discussion on social media, the position of majority of Igbos that are advocates of Biafra is one of "You are either one of us or you hate Igbo". This unfortunately, has not only cost friendship for some it has also created unnecessary enmity for others.

Who Are The Anti-Igbos?
I don't have to consult the Oxford dictionary to know that an anti-Igbo is simply someone that is against the legitimate interest and struggle of the Igbo nation and HATES anything and everything that has to do with the Igbo. Such people are cancer to the society

Pro-Biafrans Tag The Wrong People Anti-Igbo:
Do the Biafran agitators really know the anti-Igbo elements in Nigeria? To them, the anti-Igbo is any person or group from the south south region that states and maintain that they and their group are not a party to the Biafran arrangement. The anti-igbo is the ethnic nation in the Niger-Delta that does not believe in the Biafran arrangement and also find it unacceptable and highly provocative that the promoters of Biafra continue to 'force' them into what they've never believed in. To these agitators, the only way to show that you are not against the Igbo interest is ONLY by pledging alliance to their proposed Biafra.

Addressing Their Ignorance/Misconception
I have always maintained that self determination is not a privilege but a right. I'm NOT against the Igbo Biafran agitation and will always support them to decide for themselves. However, I believe that the right to self-determination is not the exclusive preserve of ANY single group. Every single ethnic nation within the South-south region have the RIGHT to determine whether or not to be part of Igbo Biafra. So if the Itsekiri man believe that Biafra is not ideal for him, should that make him anti-Igbo? If Urhobo, Ogoni, Ijaw, Ikwerre, Oron etc believe that fiscal and regional autonomy is their demand and they collectively(and individually) agree on this, should this make them anti-Igbo? Are pro-biafrans aware that Ogoni, Oron, Urhobo, Ikwerre, Ijaw etc have long submitted their respective demand, bills of rights and declarations to the United Nations, African Union and the Nigeria state long time ago? Is it not proper that every group face their respective struggles and those that see need for collaboration do same on mutual agreement? Has there been any agreement between IPOB/MASSOB and the Ijaw National Congress/Ijaw People Assembly or Ijaw Youth Council for the Igbo-Ijaw Biafran State? Has there been any between IPOB/MASSOB and Urhobo Progressive Union? Has there been any with the Ikwerre Youth Council, Oron People or the Ogba people? Has there been any with MOSSOP(Ogoni)? Has there been any with Bini and Esan people? Has the position of these nations changed? Does their position on fiscal federalism and autonomy within the Nigeria State makes them anti-Igbos or anti-Biafra? Does the fact that I maintain the position of my people that we have no agreement with anybody at ANY TIME to be in any Biafran nation makes me anti-Igbo?

When all the ethnic nations in the Old Midwest(Edo and Delta states) agitated to be carved out of the Old Western region, it never made them anti-Yorubas even though the Western region government and the Yorubas preferred they remain in same region with them. The Yorubas never saw them as enemies of O'odua nation.

To Each Their Own Struggle:
If the Igbos believe that a sovereign Biafran state is their only demand, then I will advice that they pursue it with every legitimate tool available. However, that Biafra is their demand DOESN'T mean it is the demand for other ethnic nations in the South-South. Ethnic nations in the SS want Fiscal/Regional Federalism as contained in their bills of rights/declarations. I don't think that it is sane for any pro-biafran Igboman to have any problem with this except he deliberately decides to trouble himself and make himself his own problem.

Let me reiterate that it will and amount to folly and crass ignorance for any IPOB/MASSOB person to tag anyone that doesn't share their Biafran ideology as anti-Igbo. All those propagating this anti-igbo sermon just to blackmail some people should wake-up and face reality. I sympathise with the Igbos and wish them well in their Biafran struggle. I also believe that some day our own people shall get (not given) our resource control demand. If opportunity for a referendum comes, our people shall determine for themselves whether or not to remain in Nigeria. Let me use this medium to appeal to the Igbos, Fulanis, Yorubas, Igalas etc to consider and support our resource control demand.

My Loyalty To Ijaw Nation, ND and Nigeria:
My loyalty to the Ijaw nation, the Niger Delta and the Nigeria State(whose ID I carry and anthem I sing) is one that I can't betray. If my people see need to opt out of the Nigeria State, then we shall push for a peaceful referendum without resorting to any move that will put the life of anybody at risk just like the MidWesterners did.

Finally, I want to assure my pro-Biafra Igbo friends and political allies that I don't hate their tribe nor any other ethnic nation in Nigeria. I am not against them having their Biafra and will always support their legitimate interest. My Igbo friends should understand that I owe my people the responsibility of promoting our own struggle and interest whenever opportunity arises. This shouldn't make me an anti-Igbo.

Anyone that still pick offence in this article should fix an appointment with a spiritualist.
