Talking about oil, which oil does Biafra have?
I'm speaking in terms of Niger Delta being a part of Biafra.

I get your point, I really do. It's quite valid, but please hear me out. With seccession not every region will have these highly demanded natural resources, and that's a good thing for them. Your post excellently explains why natural resources could be a burden, why the worst places to live in are dictatorships that are highly "blessed" with natural resources. And the best places to live in? Nations with good democratic systems and without natural resources. It seems counter intuitive but it isn't. Without natural resources, there's only one way to generate wealth: human resources. The better kept these human resources are, the more productive they are and the more wealth they generate.

Please please don't dismiss this theory just yet, watch the short video below. It's so enlightening on this, in fact on politics in general. You won't have a iota of regret. Also please read my article after wards. It was deleted a few weeks back.


I really like that video and the perspective it brings. It shows oil could be Nigerias biggest problem. Thanks for sharing.

Dude, This is AFRICA. The dynamics are different. If you are a small African nation with huge natural resources, you become an immediate target for western multinationals and their indigenous agents. You are not allowed to just do what you like. They will make sure you get a president who will do their bidding. A stooge. You need international capital to build infrastructure etc etc, so will need to capitulate to the IMF, World Bank etc etc... If you try to do a Hugo Chavez or Mugabe, forming nationalist, you will go the way of Venezuela and Zimbabwe... starved with sanctions. The road is tough for small African nations with great resources. If it wasn't, every Liberian would be a millionaire. They are a small country with one of the largest DIAMOND deposits on earth, yet...

The only way to resist and repel this external influence is to be a big country like Nigeria. Look, if Biafra is actualised, a country like France could just come in there and start dictating things, like they do in in Ivory coast, Cameroun etc. They will even decide who will be your president, like they did in Burkina Faso, with Blaise Compaore. cool

I like how you are calling other countries but you missed Nigeria out. Nigeria has never been a global power. Not even with what we are good at....population.
You're making a good point but let's not pretend Nigeria is immune to the rape from world powers for resources. At least with a Biafra, northerners will not be raping us too by owning majority of the oil wells down south via corrupt loopholes and stalling progress with their generally regressive ideals that makes the country unstable.

We don't want again...now, Na by force.

That's not a good enough reason to be there. If indeed the north is as dangerous and hateful of Igbos as IPOB youths claim, then WHY are they millions of Igbos living there? You say it's because the north is part of Nigeria. grin. But you don't want the Nigeria! So what are you doing there? grin I mean, just because the Evil Forest is part of your village doesn't mean you go and sleep there every night (apologies Achebe). grin

But why are they ''back there'' at all? grin

Why is there ANYONE in the north today who is Igbo? What are they looking for there? grin Mr 'I want my own country', yet you are the one who finds his backside in every other person's country. When you finally get that country, and then all the places where your people are based start driving you out to return to your small, already overcrowded Eldorado, how will you contain the influx of millions of displaced ''brothers and sisters'', with attendant social conflict and competition for scarce resources? And just what happens to your billions of dollars of investment across Nigeria, when you do leave? Do your Ipob leaders examine these questions at all? Do you ie Ipob, actually have a policy Think tank that examines these issues intellectually? Or are you just a bunch of loafers with no appreciation of the economic and geo-socio-political dimensions and implications of your stated positions?

I understand you're scraping the barrel to get these questions but I'll bite.
They are there because it's part of their current country and it's accessible to them. If you know anything about Igbos, you know they are enterprising forces. Even with a smaller state, Igbos will go to the North if they are allowed and it's relatively safe. Just like you'll find Ghanaians in Nigeria, it's not that hard, man.

As to how we'll contain the "displaced" Igbos? Believe me, there's land. Plenty. There are building plans (e.g. Storey buildings) that make that a non issue. I wonder where you think Igbos live when they travel home for Christmas. Mind you if you forcefully displace Igbos in the North, Igbos will return the favor and that includes their houses/investments.

In case you never heard, investments don't need the physical presence to perform. I am confident that a ton of Igbo investors will cash out where they can anyways. When it's time for policy, policy will come. This is still a struggle...We have plenty of brainstormers and guess what? Some of them are actually professionals. They'll come.

We're not loafers. We realize we'll all be better off staying away from leeches who make you feel like it's your fault your blood is being sucked right outta you!

Mind you, I'm saying that Biafrans starved like any country would including the mordern day Nigeria is we are cut off from trading with the rest of the world. There are institutions you wouldn't expect a young country to have...people had to leave their properties and lands outside Biafra in hope for a better tomorrow. Don't mock people's heritage.

only to have money is not enough...
you wan eat the banknotes,ni??..
It doesn't sound like you care about what happens to Igbos yet you want a united Nigeria.
Isn't that hypocritical?
Allow us be a country that starve... leave it for us.
You think if Nigeria's borders are closed for 3 months and we are made to survive with what we have, we'll survive? Think again.
Countries are expected to trade to survive, Biafra wasn't given the chance.

Those things can all grow in the south and has been done by many farmers. Even here on nairaland, you see farmers in the south posting pictures of growing those crops. How did you think our ancestors survived?

I didn't say they can't grow in the south. I'm saying that it's a fair claim going by what we see happening today. I also said it's as a result of specialization. Southerners produce oil and is home to budding industrialization. You can be proud.

1) how can north be providing food for the south when we still import a lot of things we eat.

2) how can the north be providing food to the south when there is mass starvation in the north and almajiris begging for food everywhere

The north food production is a lie and a myth that needs to end.

Probably.
But you can't deny the yams, beef, onions, peppers and tomatoes southerners often rely on Northern farmers for. Don't get me wrong, that's by no means all the food we need but a sizable quantity does come from the north enough to upset prices in the south during Ramadan or religious crisis.

Ask yourself if the real solution is dissolving the nation..,?


Rather than setting differences apart and working out the best in us

If 100+ years is not enough for you to realize that we are only getting even more lost as a nation, I wonder what will work.

At least with a peaceful dissolution, each region can effectively focus on its pressing issues without having to consider a thousand and one other issues.

You can't set such differences apart not when our tribes and religions come before our nationality. They are foundational differences...you can't ignore them.

You are wise.

There is no basis for a united Nigeria, especially the structure we are running today.

Currently only the Hausas and Yorubas wish to continue as one nation given their historic religious and cultural ties. The rest of the country simply wants out.

It looks to easy, but why those two tribes want to hold on to every other person remains a mystery. By virtue of the last 100 years as a nation they have gained more than they contributed from our commonwealth that you would expect they would be self sustaining by now.

But no, they shiver at the thought of any form of Balkanization and will be the first to call for the head of anyone seeking Biafra or Niger Delta Republic.

I will repeat the Hausas and Yorubas together have what it takes to make a strong nation. We need to help them see this.
I often hear Northerners say they provide food and they can support themselves in that regard and it's Southerners who need them...I somewhat agree but that wouldn't have been the case if not for specialization where we have reach region focusing on what it does "best" in the nation. They also think they don't need Southerners to survive...I wonder why they persist on keeping the union. They should come and answer.

As much as splitting will be just one step toward a better tomorrow for present day Nigerians, I am not unaware of the short term turmoil it may most likely bring, but if we don't we'll only be putting a bandage over a gunshot wound...leaving room for continuing decay.

1. Our population is going off the roof and there are no policies or measures to keep that in check. That alone comes with a truck load of economic, social, financial and even security issues that will surpass what we are currently experiencing. I hope we understand that our children and grandchildren will have do clean up mess or add to the pile. Sigh.

2. Nigeria was never one country before the British colonists in 1914 had the terrible idea to merge people of different religions, cultures, ethnicities, values and languages. Although the union had big dreams, we have proved beyond reasonable doubt the the Nigerian people are definitely not one people. Expect when it's time to bash Ghana or talk our deplorable economy.

3. The yorubas are united united under traditional monarchies (royal family rulership), the Igbos are mostly democratic (small clan leadership without voting) and the Hausas have leaders who are caliphs (They basically double as traditional and religious *muslim* leaders). These styles of leadership show how different we are in our core. The Hausa majority obviously see no point in separating religion from state and this stems from their Islamic religion and this should be an important factor for a supposed "secular Nigerian state".

The above reasons are why I think a split would reduce the burden trying to lead over diverse 200 million people with stark contrasting views and values to leading more homogeneous states. Mind you, I am by no means a Biafra sympathizer, neither am I Igbo. These are coming from a very logical place.

I have a question though...Why do you strongly oppose the idea of a peaceful dissolution (through diplomatic agreements and/or referendum) of the Nigerian state?

Sensible replies only. Abeg.

Culture / Rant: Nobody Owes Us Anything. Over entitlement is over bearing by DivaFiva: 12:11pm On Aug 07, 2016
By "us", I mean "you".
Long read but probably it's worth it.


Believe it or not, I have noticed that as a people, we need to address our sense of entitlement.
Yes, I'm generalizing and of course not everyone is but it pays to be aware so you too can check yourself. I can boldly say that sense of entitlement is ingrained in our way of life but the truth is no one owes us anything.

On a personal level: Some of us, especially our ladies, feel overly entitled to another person's wealth...just because they sleep with them. If the person doesn't oblige, the story changes to "He used me". Please, what makes her and a prostitute any different? It's sad really.

The older we get, we typically expect younger people to "worship" our words or deed and in the same breathe expect to never be challenged as being wrong. Ever. It's in schools, family structure and even class structure. "Am I your mate?" has become a widely used phrase to intimidate and shut younger people who question our actions.

I saw a church poster on Linda's blog and the pastor clearly stated in his flyer about praying against evil forces that make " rich relatives" hold out on his "potential client". Imagine the impetus. I can't imagine anyone more narcissistic and riddled with entitlement complex than anyone who actually believe that rich relatives owe him or her a dime.


Most families, not all, encourage this by making it harder for our girls to leave home after graduating from university. They mostly leave when they get married thus making the poor guy pick off from where they left off.
Also, an overwhelming number of men and ladies in their mid to late twenties still depend on their parents and hardly are they socially discouraged.

Another aspect of our lives this entitlement is transferred to is our parents encouraging us to study Medicine, Law or (Petrolreum)Engineering as a means to get ahead in life. While this might work for a hand full of people, most of them us will probably not use the university education we get to survive because our government cannot give us all jobs! *gasps* I know, I'm shocked too. Especially when we think we all deserve to be "people in life". You'd be surprised how life as any of those professions mentioned can be frustrating without a true passion for it.

Believe me, I know our government na kpansh but most of us don't even know where taxes are paid but we raise our voices to demand being better taken care of by the government.

Did I also mention that "white men" also don't owe us (as a nation) anything. We need to do better to remand the respect we crave and not the respect we think we deserve as "Giant of Africa".

You too don't owe anyone anything. Not your parents, not your friends because think about it you get to live with the outcome of your decisions...so, don't live to please them.

My beliefs are well guided and I can't say the same about yours.

It's my opinion no doubt but is it without support? I don't think so.
All you had to do was ask.

Fundamentals are good if you want stability but from the look of things we are pin dire need of progress.

Only thing is, it is soiled with foreign religious beliefs so I don't think it's of any use.
