To you, it is not mass hysteria. To the rest of us onlookers, it is nothing but mass hysteria. Why? Because your people are just busy following Kanu up and down, without taking specific steps through their legislators and govt ministers, to push for a referendum to be inserted in the constitution, in order to get their own country. Concrete political steps need to be taken, for them to actualise their dreams. [b]A rash of demonstrations is not going to fetch you your new republic.

[/b]As for you saying Ojukwu defended his people, well - that is your opinion. I guess he defended them so well, that he managed to lose 3 million of them to death. He also defended hem exceedingly well, by hopping into a plane on the Uli airstrip and taking off for Ivory Coast, after abandoning them to their fate, on the battle field. May God bless the late Lt. Gen Philip Effiong who did not run away, but stood up to be counted by taking the bold step that put an end to the carnage. That is what true heroes are made of.

Most deluded Nigerians write about Nigeria as if it is a matured or advanced society. If Nigeria society is even half civilized as some goons would want us to believe, this issue of cession should not be a thing of public discussion. Many ninnies in Africa did not even realize that USSR and Czechoslovakia have disintegrated? Must Ndigbo, Yari.ba, Hausawa, Fulde, Nupe, Munchi, Usobo, etc live together to form a country? What is actual wrong with certain Nigerians? If certain people in Nigeria want to vacate Nigeria, they should be allowed to do so.

It only in demonic Nigeria that soldiers attack the citizens they were mandated to defend.

lloydtruth:
Please be specific on what you mean by creating trouble? So because someone said he doesn't want to share a union with you, that automatically means trouble? Biafra matter has seriously dealt with the Yorubas, they want to see the igbos been massacred by propagating wars even when the igbos are saying referendum.

Do not pay any mind to the empty-headed Yari.ba girl. Most Yari.ba are behaving like the world will come an end if Republic of Igbo Land or Biafra is actualized. Anyway, it will definitely happen in their sorry life time.

StephDamielola:


YOU GUYS WILL COME AND CREATE TROUBLE IN AFRICA, SELL ARMS TO US AND WATCH US KILL OURSELVES.... SO WE WILL REMAIN UNDER-DEVELOPED. WE WILL DESTROY OUR SCHOOLS, ROADS, BRIDGES, HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS WHILE YOUR CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. YOU KEEP ON UNDER-DEVELOPING AFRICA

WE AIN'T GONNA FIGHT OURSELVES NO MORE.

BUNCH OF BLEACHED MODAFUCKERS.

WHY HAVEN'T TRUMP NUKED NORTH KOREA?

WE ARE NIGERIANS AND NIGERIANS WE WILL BE.

NO GOVERNMENT OR PEOPLE IS PERFECT.

IF ONLY AFRICA WILL RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO FIGHT AT SLIGHT PROVOCATIONS, THEN OUR PRIDE WILL BE RESTORED AS THE CENTER OF CIVILIZATION.

Why would you want to buy arms from them and kill yourselves? It makes you a dumbass African since there is no need to fight. Why would you fight people who simply want to have a different country from the cesspit called Nigeria or any other country in Africa? In nature, brothers and sisters will part ways from house they were born and raise to build their respective homes. Most Nigerians are showing all forms of deceit toward the saga of IPOB.

When Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;

Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence staff was fron SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!

Still there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets.

These are documented facts!

Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Copied....

You are lazy liar and ignorant jester too. There was nothing such as Chief of defense staff during Tafawa Balewa administration. In addition, you deceitfully forgot to mention that Minister of Defense, Deputy Minister of defense and Perm. Secretary to Minister of Defense were all from the northern region of Nigeria. Tafawa Balewa and the ministry of defense turned Nigeria armed forces into Oshodi Market which led to the coup.

Some members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB) were spotted enjoying some of the iconic projects of Governor Rochas Okorocha in Owerri, Imo state capital. The pro-Biafra group led by its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu stormed the Owerri earlier today bring vehicular and commercial activities to a standstill. See photos below;

Are you this pedestrian? Okoroawusa did not ordinarily build any project in Imo State. Every crap built by the Okoroawusa regime belongs to the people of Imo State. The IPOB, some of which were bona fide indigenes of Imo State, are entitle to ride any project in Imo State.

[quote author=Terkimbi01 post=58916849]This man got the people.

Politicians got the media.

And power belongs to the people, not the media.[/ quote]

Donald Trump's USA can attest to this fact.

nairanaira12:
Do you realise that nnamdi kanu was praising the federal government when gej was still president? Boy, use your brain if you have one. Stop insulting those who sent you to school

Arrant nonsense. Unlike you, I have no use for personalized opinions. Most dumbass Nigerians such as you spend life time dwelling on he said, she said or they said. What Nnamdi Kanu said about Nigeria can be heard from Biafra Radio or the view of his present actions. Actions speaker louder than silly gossips. Son, nobody of irrelevancy sent me to school.

nairanaira12:
Read through what I wrote properly and you will be compelled to ask yourself if your mental faculty is still intact or deranged

I have read the crap from you mental incoherency and found it very juvenile. If you have any mental faculty talk less of deranged one, you would have realized that MASSOB came to relevancy during Olesegun Obasanjo's regime in 1999. It is a matter of idiocy and outright deceit for certain clowns in Nigeria to insinuate that the movement for actualization of Biafra started with moronic regime of imbecilic fool from Dauara in Katsina State.

I enjoy the fact that these fools from defunct western region, northern region and some parts of midwestern region tend to get twisted out of human form at the instance of disintegration of Nigeria or the mention of Biafra. If these jackass want to commit suicide, they shall be helped however Republic of Igbo Land or Biafra must be actualized so that we can see how the hell freezes up.

nairanaira12:
It is not reconstruction; it is restructuring

And if you aren't bereft of sense of history, you will know that Oduduwa Republic idea had been in the offing long before that uncouth rabblerouser, called kanu, started with his politically motivated shout for biafra, a shout he never made when Jonathan was president.

When the likes of Abraham adesanya, bola tinubu, Alfred rewane, gani fawehinmi, and co were fighting for freedom, where were your igbo brothers? Were they not hiding in abacha's pant and promoting Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha? You know nothing, messr flaaaathead.

It is an idea in a coffin. Besides an idea in a cooler is a product of daydreamers. Actions speaker louder than dream.

ourkobo:
this question has been on mind for months

it's no longer a new thing that anytime Biafra is mentioned, they will be the first to attack and shout one Nigeria,

But recently their elders said they no longer want restructuring , they want Oduaaa republic, I was expecting them to echo one Nigeria too, but to my total dismay, they all kept quiet.

Now does it mean they also want to leave Nigeria, but dont want Biafra to go?

or they are scared if what igbos will say if they publicly protest for their own country?

#confused

An inherent turncoat is not visionary.

Markfemi2:

The picture of kids you have in your idiotic post is almajiri. I have lived and traveled far and wide in Yari.ba land, no place or humans can be filthier than Yari.ba.

paschu:
Seems you're a leaner. Okay, remind me when the case gets to court.

*Edit:

Which diplomacy are you talking about even? Diplomacy to a bully who believes you should not hold a dissenting opinion?

You of all people should know how Nigeria works. Or how diplomatic were you to those bullies who sought to roast you on that "Broke Guy" thread?

See, if it were hard to be polite to bullies on this anonymous forum, how much worse and deadly do you think it will be when you are dealing with evil vipers in real life?

No one pulls off a revolution by acting soft and correct. You either deal from the position of strength or get crushed by the bully.

Again, I find it so weird that certain folks from both the north and south know what's up and are showing solidarity, whereas you lots - the so called pro-Igbo - are busy castigating your light bearer and his followers.

#ThinkPosterity

You know that stupidity cannot be fixed.

TheGoodJoe:
You are too insensitive. You will not know the amount of lives this young man have saved and let them see tomorrow. Do you know how many kids lost their lives in Buni Yadi? Beheaded and some burnt alive. It is young heroes like these who put their lives on the front line to keep others alive.

Do you know how many soldiers are working in camps and feeding starving children? All you think about is ranting and abusing a hero.

He was human and achieved a lot. Your tribal hate is nothing but pure evil.

This because some fools in the corridor of power have refused Nigeria to go the way of USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. If I had the means, Nigeria will cease to exist in second. If Boko Haram wants Islami nation in the northern region, they will have one. If IPOB wants Republic of Igbo land or Biafra, they will have one. If OPC, even though cowardly in its shell, wants Oodua Republic, they will get. If Ijo wants Republic of Ijo, they will have one. Anybody that wants independence will get one so there should a diminished trend in senseless killings instigated by hatred. Northern region of Nigeria has fermented senseless killing of its neighbors since 1945.

Any fool is entitled to his/her opinion but he/she is not entitle to the facts. The airhead can spew gaseous ideas and bet the nitwit does not know who is his father. My grandfather once told me that "He who does not know where the rain started beating him definitely will not know where the rain stopped".

Biafra isn't everywhere, Ignorance is

Absolutely no treason was even intended talk less precipitated. The act of treason is serious matter and mostly not acted in the open field.

INTERMAN:
According to record the Nigeria petroleum oil would be exhausted around 2050. I know many people are eager to have a biafra country because of the oil.. Unknown to many (probably Nnamdi kanu too) the oil reserve underground would dry off soon.. I hope the biafrans would not be begging us to allow them rejoin Nigeria by then when the hunger like that of South Sudan who broke of from Sudan befalls them

Please take this your idiotic crap to the leaders of the cesspit called Nigeria who have even fought a war because of crude oil. I repeat Biafra or Republic of Igbo land is not for crude oil. It is all about unity in the sense of harmony and oneness, meritocracy, no quota system that tend to stymied growth from a section while favoring mediocre in another section, egalitarianism and hard work.

cana882:
How does his children even feel when he embarrasses himself like this online??

You will not write this crap when Osinbajoker is pushed aside tomorrow from the corridor of power in the zoo called Nigeria.

If the statement, “IPOB has no right to stop election in Anambra State”, allegedly credited to one person named Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe is remotely true, the person must be either delusional or does not understand the meaning of the word - boycott. IPOB does not conduct election in Nigeria therefore are not responsible for the stoppages of election. IPOB has simply appealed to the people who wished to become citizen of Republic of Igbo land or Biafra to peacefully stay away from participating in fraudulent elections conducted by government of the zoo called Nigeria.

IgboSubmarine:
Not in this case

Those who were never part of the struggle be it online or offline can't lead in Biafra


The Spirit behind Biafra has made up His mind in that direction.

I resolutely agreed with your view on this one. I hope the IPOB are keeping list of names of the scallywags who have opposed the new movement for the actualization of Republic of Igbo land or Biafra.

lofty900:
That's why people see them as touts and criminals. I used to like the struggle when it started with reasonable people but now touts and hoodlums and miscreants have hijacked the struggle and made it look unattractive. *spits*

Revolution is not meant for lily-livered punks. Most of the successful revolution on earth have been started by down trodden stiffs and some started from prison yards by confirmed criminals. Yet when the revolution becomes successful, the dimwits who have earlier taken high road will come down to lead.

Bakrabas:
I think for now Nnamdi Kanu is the power steering of over 40% Igbo descendants, he has their control in his dashboard. I pity those who are suffering from schizophrenia as results of this man, those that are psychological enslaved by this man.




How will you realize Biafra when Igbo are not United?

How will you deliver Biafra when you mix other tribe with igbo as part of Biafra


The youngest country today is South Sudan, since the South Sudan broke they remained unsettle. There's unease going on their. The two tribes Nuer and Dimka have been in chaos and military combat. And the UN neglect them

Only fool thinks that self determination is a foolhardy approach. If the departure of Biafrans or Ndigbo shall result in the cessation of the cesspit called Nigeria, then the demands of Biafrans or Ndigbo should be met. If such demands cannot be met, the people calling for self determination should be allowed to walk.

positivetaught:
I really admire kanu's courage n doggedness but he needs to know that "when pride comes in as a result of success,men begin to fall from grace to grass". KANU need to be circumspect in his agitations,boycotting the anambra elections is I'll advice, one would expect him to encourage ndi anambra to stick with APGA the brain child of ojukwu n bid his time,by stroke of luck kanu's struggle has awaken tremendous conscience among Nigerians if only he would key into the restructuring desire of most deprived Nigerians, success would have been sure than never,but I'm afraid KANU is pushing his chi too far.

There is absolutely no showboating with boycott of election. It is even a dull approach to insinuate that boycott of Anambra State election or any election for that matter is ill advised. Anything to make Nigeria unworkable through peacefully means or even otherwise is a welcome idea.

legislatively:
People should keep quite already, votes will be recorded but turnout will be low. Stop making it look as if no one will vote and a military administrator will be imposed.

If election is not precipitated, the government in power continues. Nobody can institute military administrator in democratic setup.

Badonasty:
No country will willingly let a region go just like that...Biafra can only be achieved by war...just like Eritrea and South Sudan got their independence...

Remember no country has ever survive second civil war. Nigeria will cease to exist with another civil war but new countries will emerge. If it will take another civil war to actualize Biafra or Republic of Igbo land, I say so be it.

Naijiant:
For me, this is where the problem is, and I talked about it extensively for The Cable. We need to, very urgently, create jobs for our young people. These are people, at the prime of their lives, and they have nothing else to do, but wake up, dress up, and go and congregate outside of a man’s house. Make no mistakes, this is not an Igbo problem, it is a Nigerian problem. I have seen it in Kano. I have seen it in Makurdi. I have seen it in Warri. I have seen it in Ibadan. I have seen it in Lagos. Young people, who have nothing to do, and as a result, become willing to listen to whoever has whatever to say.

But there is another problem that bears noting — the cost of driving away some of our brightest young minds. On that day in Umuahia, I met a very interesting young man.


Read on about why this young man joined IPOB: https://www.naijiant.com/guestcolumn/nnamdi-kanu-metaphor/

Only a fool would emphasize that the quest for actualization of Republic of Igbo land or Biafra rest only on joblessness of the youths. One can be gainfully employed but lacked the essence of being sovereign hence agitation for self determination. There is a pride to call a place home which does not apply to Ndigbo with respect to Nigeria. Please remove the sense of joblessness in your agenda.

jpphilips:
What I have to say about it goes thus;

[color=#990000]1)You are not educated enough to understand the inspiration or circumstances that lead to national nomenclature. The national Anthem of the United states was inspired by a war effort so its unsurprising why you see words like Bombs, rockets in its lyrics. Nigeria was inspired by Geography. If you had any education, you will realise that the two last countries on the river Niger basin inspired their nomenclature. Nigeria and Niger republic with Niger a state in Nigeria.

2) You are too dumb to realise that the problems of Nigeria has nothing to do with its name or its origin.

3) Bight of Biafra was equally a Portugese nomenclature, transiting from a British Nigeria to a Portugese Biafra doesn't remove the shackles of your European masters, you are just too dumb to realise that.

4) it takes sound education to draw logical comparisons, that you lack, your pitiable condition has reduced you to a spanner in the hands of the London Lunatic.
Take heart bro!!

Now that you have gotten the basics, can you tell us where the name Igbo was derived from and what inspired it. You guys (IPOB) are embarrassing igbos with ignorance.
This is the worst time to be a sane igbo man.
[/color]

Sometimes I beg to understand the plank of argument of most Nigerians. The point of contention by Kanu is that name of Nigeria and its national anthem were handed to Nigerians by the British. Whether they were inspired by war or geography is totally irrelevant. Again, the moronic Nigerians should cease to mention Nigeria in their often silly comparisons with USA.

It is too late to change anything. Quota system and deceitful cutoff marks are institutionalized discrimination ably carried out by the so-called federal government of Nigeria. There is no unity in Nigeria and disintegration is answer.

Godson333:
Nri community in Aniocha Local Government Area of Anambra has threatened to sue Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), for alleged taboo in Nri culture.



Chief Ifeanyi Onyesoh, the Personal Assistant to Eze Obidiegwu Onyesoh, the traditional ruler of Nri community, announced the plan to journalists in Awka on Thursday.



He said the people were angry over Kanu’s alleged misconduct.



Onyesoh said Kanu with his wife, Uchechi, and supporters visited the palace of Eze Nri on July 19 and a shrine against the tradition of the people.



He noted Nri ancient Kingdom is the cradle of Igbo civilisation, whose culture is revered in the five southeast states of Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Anambra as well as Igbo communities in Delta and Rivers.



Onyesoh said on July 18, a day before Kanu’s visit, 12 young people came to the palace of Eze Nri requesting for an appointment with the traditional ruler for Kanu.



“I was the person that received them and so I told them to go and come back with a written letter so that they will get official reply from the palace since the delegation looked unusual, in that there was no titled person among them.



“At this point they all left and what we saw the next day was Kanu visiting Nri community with a huge crowd of his supporters.



He (Kanu) went straight to the house of one Chief Shadrack Mbanefo, a subject to the traditional ruler of Nri.



“The feelers we later got, was that the said Mbanefo claimed he handed over the `Offo Nri ’, (symbol of royalty) to Kanu, and even allowed Kanu to visit the historic “Ohianwehi forest” revered as “forest of life” by Igbo tradition.



“This forest is believed to be the place the first burnt offering was offered by the Jewish Igbo ancestors when they migrated from Israel more than 2,000 years ago,’’ he said.



Onyesoh said Nri people considered Kanu’s conduct as a taboo because no high profile visitor entered the community without first visiting the traditional ruler let alone a sacred place without the knowledge of the ruler.



He expressed regret that Kanu and his supporters after visiting Mbanefo returned to the entrance gate of the palace and tried to force it open.



“It was this unruly conduct that made the traditional ruler to telephone the security agents who responded promptly and dispersed Kanu and his supporters.’’



Onyesoh said the people regarded Kanu’s action as an affront on their values and so resolved not to sweep the matter under the carpet.



“It is a taboo in Nri and equally against the Anambra State Traditional Rulers’ Council Law for a high profile visitor to visit a community without first paying homage to the traditional ruler.



“The people of Nri and her traditional ruler are not against Nnamdi Kanu and his agitation/aspiration but what we cannot take is for Kanu to come and mess up the Nri culture and tradition under whatever motive.



“The community will drag him to customary court to ensure that nobody else gives such insult to the community and its heritage,’’ he said.



Reminded that Kanu visited Nri to receive `Offo Nri title’ like the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and MASSOB leader Chief Ralph Uwazuruike both Biafra agitators, Onyesoh said “if Kanu wants a title, Eze Nri is not aware of such aspiration.



“If Kanu indeed met with anybody and claimed he was given `Offo Nri’, it means he is seeking the title through the back door and for the title he claimed was given to him by `Adama’ (Mbanefo ), a servant to Eze Nri, is a nullity.



“My advice to Kanu is for him to first step up actions to amend his ways to synchronise with the values and culture of Igbo people which he is stampeding in the name of agitation.



“Nri is the ancestral home of all Igbo people and for him to visit Nri in the manner he did means he has no knowledge of Igbo tradition and culture.



“So, he must first study Igbo tradition and culture and properly be advised before he misleads himself.’’

There is no title labeled as "chief" in Igbo culture and tradition. If the loser named Ifeanyi Onyesoh is one way or the other related to Eze Obidiegwu Onyesoh as their last names suggested, the dumbass Ifeanyi Onyesoh should not be the personal assistant of Eze Obidiegwu Onyesoh. He should be "Nwaeze". Also making announcements concerning a public issue should come from the appropriate quarters not from one goofy fellow passing as a personal assistant to Eze Obidiegwu Onyesoh. This jackass can fool gullible and undiscerning onlookers but me.
