agog: A house divided against itself cannot stand. You are agitating for a sovereign state for your people and yet you do not want to respect the culture of the same people on whose behalf you are agitating.. If you dont secure 100% support of your people especially the elders, how will the outsiders see you and rate your seriousness?
Did you take time to review the identity of the alleged writer of the article, the so-called personal assistant? What is actually wrong with most Nigerians.
Wike is a state governor and amaechi is federal minister, and pyo is acting president visiting a state, if anything should happen to osibanjo wike is to blame because he is the chief security officer of rivers am not happy that the pyo opted to follow the chopper sha, he didn't respect wike but am happy wike played mature by following the chopper kudos to them
You got it correctly until the bolded. He is the chief executive of the state. He cannot be a CEO and at time a Gateman.
Amarabae: yes I do and I respect him, the Obi of Onitsha. Go and sleep. Election in Anambra must HOLD.
I guess you and Obi of Onicha are goofed on this subject matter. The issue is boycott of the election not holding the election. The tyrannical government of Niger-Area has the right to hold election but the right to compel the electorates to participate. Any future election in Igbo land should be boycotted until Republic of Igbo land or Biafra is actualized. If you and Obi of Onicha do not appreciate the subtle settlement the Republic of Igbo Land or Biafra will provide, the jackasses can transplant to Nigeria.
RisingSun1: Brits named them Burma, they rejected it and renamed themselves Myanmar, Brits named them Gold coast they rejected it and renamed themselves Ghana,Brits named them Rhodesia they rejected it and renamed themselves Zimbabwe, Brits named them Tanganyika they rejected it and renamed themselves Tanzania, France named them Dahomey they rejected it and renamed themselves Benin,France named them upper Volta,they rejected it and named themselves Burkina Faso, Belgium named them Zaire they rejected it and re named themselves Democratic Republic of Congo and the British named them Nigeria and SOME OF THEM rejected it and renamed themselves BIAFRA.
KANU said only a dog that is happy bearing the name given by it's master.
It goes in the same wash of idiocy with the word, BLACK. Most Africans are undeniable dimwits.
Masterclass32: Anambra: Obaino to IPOB: You cannot stop the election TONY 27 JUL 2017 By Nwabueze Okonkwo
Governor Willie Obiano has vowed not to allow the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB repeat the mistake made by the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB who dissuaded the people from coming out during the last national census.
Obiano who spoke during his visit to an erosion site at Odume Layout, Obosi in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state, while responding to the statement by the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu that there would be no election in the state in particular and in Southeast zone which he described as Biafra land, said:
“there is going to be an election on that day. Whoever says there will be no election is not carrying the interest of the people at heart”.
According to Obiano: “we will not repeat what happened during the national census period in the years back here in the state when those who called themselves MASSOB disrupted the exercise in Igbo land and the consequences of that disruption led to rating our population figure very low which is what we are still suffering today because we were counted less than what we are.”
The governor appealed to the electorate to vote for him on November 18, during the state gubernatorial election in the state for sustaining the good governance he inherited.
This is arrant nonsense. It is said that “he who is the ground fears no fall”. These fools cannot difference between boycott and no election. The idiotic government of Niger-Area can conduct election in Anambra State but almost entire electorates of the state wish not to participate. What good have other elections conducted in Nigeria brought to Ndigbo? I am in support of total and absolute boycott of future elections in Igbo land conducted by tyrannical government of Nigeria led by the amorous and maniacal goon named Mohammed Buhari.
YourImaginaryBF: what's the use of creating dummy ugly looking aircrafts that cannot fly?
I wonder what a dingbat such as you would have said to the Wright Brothers who indeed have bicycle workshop. It is apparent Nigeria remains the home of compound fools.
broseme: Her name is Chidinma Obasi, a 26yrs old girl from Ohafia local government,Abia state.She is battling a severe form of jaw tumour which almost makes it difficult for her to talk.
According to reports,she needs about 3. 5million naira for surgery but she has a financial constraint which makes it difficult for her to cope with the surgery.
Is there anything Nigeria has a developmental benchmark? Surgery, it can not perform. It is bad to the extent Nigerian have to travel to India so as to remove fibrosis in women. What a country indeed.
paschu: I kinda find it so interesting that some Nairaland Yorubas crave to be united with their linguistic cousins (who are not necessarily their ethnic comrades) in both Kwara and Kogi states.
But somehow these same Nairaland Yorubas would throw tantrums, get aggressive and oppose igbos fiercely each time they see the Nairaland Igbos in the SS, NC and those in the SE seeking to reunite in real time.
How on earth can a people be so aggressively opposed to the very same thing they covet so much, simply because they see it in others?
Please enlighten me.
The Yari.ba are born cowards. The Nairaland rabbits are scared out of human form because of Ndigbo whether in Nigeria as compatriots or in Biafra as archenemy.
SonofDevil: Nigeria depends on these 3 things as major source of revenue .
Crude oil- south south 80%
South West 14%
South east 6%
Industrial taxations- southwest 60%
South south 20%
North west 15%
South East 5 %
Agriculture- north central. 40%
North east 25%
South west 20%
South south 17%
South east 3%
What does the five states of south east region , abia, anambra, IMO, ebonyi,and Enugu generates to federation purse and at what percentage
Are these not enough to tell Ndigbo to vacate Nigeria and form their own country? It appears the OP is another goofy jackass pretending to be relevant.
osigiepurr: Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest.
There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses.
Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other. Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war.
A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there.
Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London.
So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them,
America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, Nigeria has only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.
China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem. America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.
Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other. And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? . Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO!
Youths shine your eyes ! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites. They are the problem, not the poor masses.
What good is large population to Nigeria when there are quota system, sectionalism and economic fraud in Nigeria? I hate when most Nigerians mention Nigeria when speaking about the achievements of countries such as USA and China.
yarimo: Mumu women ,in nigeria constitution their is freedom of association and right to live in any where in nigeria . BURATAI and the IGP of police over to you people
Please try to contain your ignorance. What Nigerian constitution are you on about?
hornyofife: This video of Ebonyi state commissioner of police who wanted to see Nnamdi Kanu at the rally ground was booed and turned back by Ipob member on ground..
Do people realize that most mothers whose kids are fighting for Biafra today might not have been born during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war? This is a total grass root movement resolutely committed to the actualization of Republic of Igbo land or Biafra.
bumi10: Femi Fani Kayode has left no stone un-turned when it comes the way he supports Igbos and Biafra agitation this days and has never been known to mince his words, and those who choose to spar with him, have been known to weigh their options carefully.
He has since shift his verbal war to the Imo State Governor, who lambasted the former Minister of Aviation in a statement released to the press yesterday. Chief Kayode slammed the governor in his statement, describing him as a frog, monkey and traitor of the Igbo people.
Here is the statement in full:
PRESS STATEMENT: RESPONSE TO GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA FROM CHIEF FEMI FANI-KAYODE
Rochas Okorocha’s jibe at Chief Femi Fani-Kayode following the wide doubts expressed by Nigerians at the authenticity of the photograph emanating from the APC governors’ purported visit to Muhammadu Buhari in London is a sign of desperation to serve the evil purposes for which the Imo State governor has been procured.
This is true to the character of Okorocha who is well known for his garrulousness which he ridiculously mistakes for oratory, with which, unfortunately, he has been misleading the good people of Imo State.
Okorocha is nothing but a dirty, cheap, fat, ugly frog that mistakes himself for a monkey simply because he can hop. A man who serves and defends a president and government that have murdered, insulted, marginalized and humiliated more of his own Igbo people than any other government in the history of Nigeria outside of the civil war.
For a man whose party has unprecedentedly threatened to arrest the moment he steps out from the immunity he currently enjoys, Rochas should actually be hiding his head in shame when men like Fani-Kayode are talking.
Uche Onyeagucha, an APC chieftain and a former member of the House of Representatives, has accused Okorocha of lying serially when he said he had spoilt Imo people with projects when in fact Rochas has only littered the state with a plethora of abandoned projects, most of which exist only on paper.
Onyeagucha had said: “…Rochas should be in prison for the way and manner he has looted Imo State. He should rather be sewing his prison uniform.
“At the appropriate time, Imo people will beam to the world, the many grisly misdeeds of this cruel administration… He has deceived our people for too long, he has bamboozled them with lies, and we have tolerated it long enough.” Need we say more?
A man who deceitfully created a phantom Imo Air that soon disappeared into thin air without any notice after it was commissioned with so much pomp and circumstance does not deserve any serious attention. His deceit and cruelty has since been confirmed by Imo people, and his vicious credentials qualifies him for a regular mental check.
The truth of the matter is that Fani-Kayode and Rochas are not in the same class. Imo people thought otherwise but today they know better. Our joy for them is that 2019 is just around the corner. They will surely kick him out, and his emptiness would be exposed.
The truth that scares the likes of Okorocha is that Fani-Kayode is a confirmed Cambridge-trained lawyer whose great grandfather, Rev Emmanuel Adedapo Kayode, his grandfather, Victor Adedapo Kayode were UK-trained, and his father, Chief Remilekun Fani-Kayode, was not just a prominent lawyer who finished from Cambridge University in 1941 and came top in the British Bar examination for the whole of British Commonwealth of nations, he was also the Deputy Premier of Western Nigeria, and the one who successfully moved for Nigeria’s independence in the Federal House of Assembly in 1958.
He was a Queens Counsel, the third Nigerian to be made a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and set up the first indigenous law firm with the erudite late Chief Frederick Rotimi Williams and Chief Bode Thomas. One can go on and on.
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode himself needs no introduction. A Cambridge trained-lawyer who was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1985, he practiced law in the firm of Kayode & Sowemimo before he ventured into politics where he rose to the peak of his career, becoming a two-time minister of the Federal Republic after being appointed the first ever Special Assistant on Public Affairs to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The import of all these is that Rochas has no history backing up his claim to fame today. He is alleged to come from an unknown root as his paternity is believed to still be very much in doubt even in Imo State. We know those who worship mammon and have sold their souls to the devil to acquire it and also to become governor.
With time we shall expose their evil deeds including why they go about in customised diapers as a consequence of their evil and unnatural copulation even with donkeys just to acquire fame, money and power. One then wonders how such a man whose highest educational qualification is a mere Advanced Diploma would dare attack Fani-Kayode. A man that when you mention the name Williams Shakespeare to he would ask you if that is the name of his village barber rather than being one of the greatest literary minds and writer ever known in history.
That is how primitive, uneducated and backward the walking statue is. If not for the kind of system that we run in Nigeria, men like Rochas should be seeking to write JAMB now in pursuit of their first degree. He probably would have been given admission now based on trial or pity because we know he has a very low intelligence quotient (IQ).
Rochas should remember that he is a slave. If he was not a governor, FFK would have had him crawl on his knees and kiss his feet. He should know his place and stay out of our line of fire for his own good.
In our own humble estimation, we think it is just too unfortunate that such a low life is leading an Imo State of erudite scholars, scientists, highly educated and successful businessmen/women, political giants, legal gurus etc.
Our consolation, like Onyeagucha advised, is that Rochas Okorocha seemed to have attacked Fani-Kayode while sewing his prison uniform. The imagination of life after government house could have affected his mental state leading him to spew gibberish.
Ordinarily, I would not have commented on the bolded in above fairy story. However, it is good to point out the fallacies Yari.ba people tend to peddle innocuously and would eventually become de facto truth. Remilekun Fani-Kayode, Frederick Rotimi Williams and Bode Thomas were working hard to pass their term papers when Sir Louis Nwachukwu Mbanefo established the first indigenous law firm in Onicha about 1937.
Angelanest: Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State at the state's Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Independence Layout, Enugu to inspect the seized suspected 20kg of Methamphetamine discovered in a clandestine Laboratory by the Agency at Akpakwume Nze in Udi Local Government Area.
The NDLEA State Commander, Dr. Anthony Ohanyere while briefing the governor disclosed that the discovered Laboratory where the illicit drug was produced were operated by one Mr. Otito Ife, his wife and his agent, Mr. Peter Anigbo, adding that investigation is ongoing to fish out other suspects involved in the heinous act. Dr. Ohanyere told the governor that the suspects will be charged to Court for prosecution.
Gov. Ugwuanyi commended the Agency for its dogged efforts in the fight against hard and illicit drugs, especially the recent discovery and warned all those involved in the unlawful business to desist from it in the interest of the society and humanity at large.
Nigerians with their stupidity know no boundary. What illegal drug is produced in this makeshift laboratory? There are few standard laboratories, if any, in Nigeria therefore authorities should harness the skillsets of these people trying very hard to do right time in a clandestine manner. Most wonderful inventions in USA started in the peoples' garage.
Are rich in oil and gas which generates the dollars that enable Nigerians to acquire foreign products and sustain the affluence of Nigerians including Dangote who is able to build factories all over Africa because of these oil dollars.
I think it will be good to know what resources is exported from Yoruba land that generate dollars for Nigeria.
This will help to eradicate the fear some have about Restructuring rendering their regions poor.
I will like this topic to be devoid of tribalism and hate
The aim is of this thread is to help each ethnic group realize that they are blessed with something that can sustain them if Nigeria becomes a Confederal or True Federal State that has a weak center and strong ethnic economical units.
I will like this topic to be devoid of tribalism and hate
What do you think is behind loudest the opposition to IPOB that comes from southwest region of cesspit called Nigeria? If Biafra or Republic of Igbo land is actualized today, some loudmouthed ingrates in Nigeria should drastically adjust their lofty appearances.
toye440: I believe chest beating best describe cowardice, only found in Eastern DNA.
If standing up for one's own people can be interpreted as chest beating by the cowardly Yari.ba, I had worn it as a badge of honor. This condescending rants reminded me about the killing of Lt Col Francis Fajuiyi in all places Ibadan yet the lily-levered Yari.ba turned to their putrid mouths to spew inconsequential craps.
En101: Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has declared that the days in which no single revenue would be generated from crude oil were fast approaching as technology was fast depleting the usefulness of crude oil.
He said this while speaking at the Extra-ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers of the African Petroleum Producers Organisation in Abuja on Monday. Osinbajo also noted that although the prosperity of Africa lies in its human resources and talents, and not in anything extracted from the earth, it was still important to upgrade to the trending technologies across the globe in the direction of alternative and clean energy.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, had earlier in his address buttressed the acting President’s points, as he noted that crude oil was at the verge of fading away as a result of improvements in technology. He said, “The oil world is fast disappearing. With current trends in technology and environmental concerns, it is clear that over the next 20 to 30 years, oil will become a fading if not a faded product.”
GameGod: Nnamdi Cownu is a mad dullard albino monkey, what is combatant in that scrap/ trash?
Meanwhile Buratai right now
You definitely one of the reasons certain people do not want you and rest of your ilk as compatriots. Do you actually engage in constructive stream of thoughts? The issue is not flimsy qualifier such as combat but the sheer ingenuity that goes into the project. I guess fabrication is not meant for most dingbats in the zoo called Nigeria.
toye440: I'm from Kwara state, from the Ekiti speaking part of kwara, collectively called the IGBOMINAS I'm so confused for the fact that kwara state is counted as a Northern state (save me d afonja defeat, d Fulani's r still covering grounds), but her inhabitants r predominantly Yoruba's. Recently, SW Governors converge to strategize on how to move the region forward, but to the chagrin of all kwara state was not represented. These I believe was due to d balkanization of d country from a working regional system into geopolitical zones. My simple question is; should there b a referendum and we all voted to go our separate ways in lieu of regionalising d country, were do we d igbominas fall? This is why I believe the earlier d better we d igbominas carve out our state from kwara, and free ourselves from d saraki dynasty. pls IPOB NOT INVITED only Yoruba's are welcomed.
Cowardice is an inherent disease. How can Yari.ba break loose or even incorporate Kwara when the Yari.ba do not seen anything good about the dogged display of bravery and fearless by IPOB and Kanu in their quest for self determination.
#BIAFRAISASTATEOFBEING Until we have achieved that state of being, the desired geopolitical region remains at risk. So we must pursue both tasks together.
And the State of Being is as follows: We have to do as the Catalonians do in Spain. When they realized that the Castelianos (Madrid) will never voluntarily or easily give them Independencia, the Catalonians (Barcelona) decided to turn inwards and develop their region Technologically, Economically and Infrastructurally - and now they are the economic powerhouse of Spain.
The same thing is with Bayern in Germany. When Germany was declaring itself as a nation, Bayern (Bavaria) had the choice to stay out and be a country on its own (like Austria did) . Instead it opted to stay within a greater Germany and become it's best part. Today Bavaria is the most technologically and economically powerful region in Germany - and it has the whole of Germany now as its primary and biggest market.
The same thing is with California in the USA. It's not only the biggest economy WITHIN the US, it's also the 6th largest economy in the World! However, this is only because it is within the US and can leverage on all the synergies that come with that, that it can be so powerful. If it were suddenly to try to break away overnight stand alone, as a competitor against the rest of the US, things would not be so easy.
Nigeria does not fear IPOB as is. Infact they WANT IPOB to challenge them, so they can militarily wage war on the Igbos. IPOB at present is not the Biafra that Nigeria fears. They fear the Biafra that becomes like Catalonia, like Bavaria, like California. That's the Biafra they fear. So they NEED this militant IPOB to give them an excuse to come and reduce Ala-Igbo to a wasteland again and turn back the hands of our clock once more to Zero, like they did in the last Civil War. Even if we don't want and don't start any hostilities, they will use the slightest excuse or provocation or accident to send in their troops. Britain will support them and in the end USA will establish a military base in Igbo Land, to keep the peace. And that is how we will become occupied territory.
We have to be smart, and shift the battle to the field where we can win.
What I am saying is this: yes we will continue to ask for Referendum, like Catalonia does in Spain, like Scotland does in Great Britain. But it is not Referendum that will give us the Biafra we need. And of course It is not guns that will give us Biafra, that we know. As Igbos we have to conquer our chronic Individualism - and we have to pool our wealth, intelligence and efforts together to turn Ala-Igbo into a First World region, right here and now. But this is the most difficult thing for us because we are individualists! It is easier to protest.
The second point is: Our Governors. As much as we don't like them, we have to work on them and with them.
If IPOB mobilises the people against the Governors, the same way it is mobilising them against the Federal Govt, you will see how fast things will change. What will the governors do? Start shooting their own people? If any governor does that, where will that governor run to hide from the people's revenge? They have nowhere to hide. Your state is your home - so they MUST listen to the people. If the people are united. And IPOB can unite the people because IPOB is very powerful and MUST start DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY from EVERY elected official in the south east.
Demand that they invest in INFRASTRUCTURES. Roads and transportation. Potable water. Drainage systems. Housing. Health. Education. Tax breaks for small businesses. Regional economic integration. Constitute expert groups accross every field from within and the diaspora to develop and advice on the framework for regional development.
Instead of going to Abuja, the Governors should come together, put money together from their budget and start building a second Niger Bridge. Start dredging the river Niger at Onitcha. Start developing the dry port at Abia. Start NOW and make it mandatory that EVERY south east governor prioritize regional integration. Taxes and tarrifs for business MUST come down to encourage investors.
Computer Village in Lagos is full of Igbos. The governors and leadership should put their moneys together and build TECHNOLOGY TOWN in Aba.
Put their money together and elevate Enugu Airport to a level HIGHER than Lagos or Abuja airport. Things like that. Developing the Owerri Airport to a full international cargo airport and take advantage of the central location of Owerri in the south east. Quality educational institutions are lacking in the east even though we constantly produce the highest number of aplicants to universities. Lets build more by collaboration with our foreign diaspora. They're the best in many parts of the world. Lets harness this advantage.
We need a world class Stock Exchange in Ala-Igbo. We can achieve that without the fed govt, because we own trading. Encourage our diaspora to work with govt to establish and run quality world class health care institutions in Ala-Igbo.
IPOB has already come up with a blueprint for an Igbo-wide democratic customary govt, the people's govt, very republican in nature, and this is good. This is power. Ironically, it might even be according to the nigerian constitution. If peacefully achieved, this can be the leverage with which to control the elected executive and legislative levels, if Nigeria stays together. And if Nigeria falls apart, then automatically we already have a framework state in operation.
However, IPOB must win igbo people over by championing their welfare with their own governors and elected officials. Threaten them with no re-election and criminal prosecution if they fail to serve their people. They must also encourage the training, standardization, integration and sharing of information by the different state security groups to stamp out crimes like robbery, kidnapping, human trafficking, etc. We are igbo. We are in the communities and we know those who are into crime. People MUST start explaining their sources of wealth. IPOB can utilize its huge following to ensure crime is wiped out and good governance is entrenched in the south east. Then IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu will forever be a hero who will be remembered kindly by history.
If we are doing things like all this, Arewa will not need to issue quit notice - Igbos will come back in droves to build up Alaigbo.
The Igbo governors can execute and implement ANTI-OPEN-GRAZING LAWS in their states, and call on all indigenes and state security groups to participate in monitoring it. This will empower all Igbos and we will rid ourselves of these Fulani Herdsmen in no time. This is priority. Every passing day is too much.
Ekiti State did it. Benue State has done it. It's not impossible. Why cannot the States of the South-East ALL do it as ONE? Anti Grazing Law. This will shake the Nigerian Govt more than asking for referendum.
IPOB has power. If they use it wisely they can bring about tremendous change in Ala-Igbo without a single drop of blood shed. They are uniquely positioned by God at this period in time to use their massive following and break the individualistic igbo trait to bring about change that will positively shape igbo history for generations. If they misuse it by going the route of war, that didnt work decades ago, then it would be a great loss indeed.
If Nigeria stays together, we Ala-Igbo can become the most advanced region of Nigeria if we START NOW. If Nigeria breaks up, we have to be ready to survive on our own. And at this moment, we are not yet ready. This is where we need to put our eyes into. Because the ball is already rolling.
What we want is for people to come and start investing in Ala-Igbo, from all over the world. They will do this massively if they see the political will and infrastructures being laid down in Ala-Igbo. If that happens, everybody will protect Igbo land. Biafra will grow from within. Let Nnamdi Kanu, all Igbo leaders and thinkers read this and run with it.
I'm sending this to you do you can spread it to Ndigbo who are amongst your contacts so that this consciousness can spread and be built on. Lets develop Ala-Igbo from within. Ka ChiUkwu no n'igwe n'edu anyi n'uwa gozie okwu a ko we mee... ...amim
Shared Article. Pls keep sharing it too..
Whether inward or outward development, IPOB do not want anything to do with the cesspit called Nigeria. It is disintegration or a war to destroy Nigeria in one way or the other.
The Yoruba Youth Congress (YYC) and the Coalition of Southwest Youths groups have called on the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to order the immediate arrest of the leader of the Indigeneous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.
The groups accused Kanu of taking Nigerians for granted, stressing that the IPOB leader is attempting to provoke the Nigerian youths.
Chairman of the Coalition of Southwest Youths groups who doubles as the National President of Yoruba Youths Congress, Prince Dapo Adepoju who addressed reporters in Akure, the state capital, said the groups are also aligning with the position of the Coalition of Northern Youth which asked the United Nations (UN) to see the IPOB as a terror group.
The Yoruba groups warned Kanu not to provoke violence in the country, noting that nobody has the monopoly of violence.
Adepoju disclosed that concerted efforts are being made at dousing rising temper of over 25million Yoruba Youths who are not happy with the war like attitude of Kanu and his men.
He said “We decided to keep mute all along as we felt Kanu and his men will allow for dialogue.
“But we are surprised that despite the fact that the Northern youths who earlier issue quit notice to the Igbo’s has make a U-turn on their decision, Kanu and his men are still moving around spreading hate speeches
“We are tired as we are losing patience, in as much as we understand that Kanu does not have the support of the majority of the Igbo’s, we felt its high time the security operatives do their job in getting him arrested
“Kanu does not have monopoly of violence as efforts are been made at dousing rising temper of over 25million Yoruba Youths who are not happy with the war like attitude of kanu and his men
“We therefore use this medium to call on the acting president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to oder the arrest of Kanu
“We equally support the letter addressed to the UN by the coalition of Nothern Youths to declare IPOB a terror group, “he said.
Adepoju also called on president Mohammadu Buhari’s administration to call for national Youths Confab, saying it will go a long way in itemizing the issues affecting the Nigerian youths.
Yari.ba should stop making themselves very good enemies of Biafrans. Yari.ba and Biafrans are not brothers and sisters therefore should have no business staying in the same country as compatriots.
