Hahahahaha I will safe you from the so called kanu

Nnamdi Kanu God will not forgive you for this brain damage on my beloved Igbo brothers just because you are looking for food to eat which solely depend on their contribution.

You and I know that Biafra will never come to pass but what surprises me is how you keep pretending as if you don't know the truth....

Did you stopped our agitation( Republic of Niger Delta) if yes why do you want our support...why not go with your 5 poor state and leave Niger Delta alone to enjoy our one Nigeria you insisted on us.....biko

Please go and contribute your feeding money to MNK

You need a country as if you know how to handle a country.... Common Abia state you can't develop...what of Imo or should I go on mentioning

Brainless MNK will keep on brainwashing you people since you chooses not learn through the hard way( python dance 1&2)

Amen .. I support you

Anyone supporting Biafra lack's knowledge of understanding.

Who arrested Isaac boro......who stopped the agitation of Republic of Niger Delta......why was Isaac boro released.....who released him.....who sentenced him to death and why..... dirty brain

With your federal allocations and IGR what have you done to change your current status (poverty). At least to convince us to see reason why we should support your agitation. Dirty brain

They are good in occupying people's land. They are the one spoiling the name of this country. Fast money people.....Drug masters....Ara people

Do you think you are more educated than the Yoruba. You will remain in Nigeria for stopping our agitation (Republic of Niger Delta)

Develop your state before asking for a country...show the world that you can do better by doing extraordinary things in your states.....dirty brain

The name Isaac Adaka Boro certainly rings a loud bell in the minds of many Nigerians. Boro was the radical and fiery iconoclast who blazed the trail of activism and militancy in the Niger Delta by initiating the Kaiama Declaration, which was a clarion call for self-determination and resource control. As legends had it a group of Niger Deltans led by the young and fiery army officer, Major Isaac Adaka Boro, had held the nation hostage for twelve days by declaring the Niger Delta region as a separate republic from the Nigerian Federation and paralysing government activities for twelve days until they were arrested by the Aguiyi-Ironsi regime and condemned for treason. However, with the overthrow of the Ironsi regime by Yakubu Gowon, the death sentences were committed to life imprisonment which in turn was suspended as they were released from jail by Gowon. Welcome to world of Chief (Captain) Samuel Timinipre Owonaru from Kaiama, Bayelsa State, the only surviving member of Boro’s fiery force, who bared his mind 45 years after the 1966 event. Excerpts.

Research and show to the whole world igbos are not the one that brought an end to our agitation

The problem of you people of Biafra is that you hate research but you depend on MNK propagandas. You are the greatest joker of our time if you still believe in IPOB

Declare Biafra let's see how it will work greedy people..

You are insulting me just because I told you the simple truth that your Nnamdi Kanu refused to tell you

We can't support the so called Biafra

ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?

Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.

Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.

However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.

This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.

This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.

Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.

But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra

Gov Nyesom Wike of Rivers State who has always virulently opposed his former mentor, predecessor, kinsman and now minister of transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, says he can only support Amaechi if he should run for presidency in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Wike said: “Let me say, on whether I will support former governor of Rivers state, Chibuike Amaechi if he decides to contest for presidency as you have asked. I am a party person, so if he is running on the platform of PDP for presidency why won’t I support him. I cannot do anti party at this level to support a non-PDP candidate,” he said.

Gov Wike said in a television interview that the South-South is heading to be in only one party after receiving Gov Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, saying it would be a good thing.

The governor made it clear he is not nursing the ambition of running for the office of the president of Nigeria. The governor said speculations linking him to presidential ambition were mere distractions.

“Right now, I am focusing on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Rivers state.

“Recall that in 2018 and 2019 when I was supporting my friend Aminu Waziri Tambulwal, it was speculated in the media that I was going to run with him. That was my first tenure and I have not even completed it and they wanted me to give that away.

“To clear every speculation, let me state that I am not going to run for the office of the president of Nigeria for now. I am concentrating in developing Rivers state. I am not a party to anybody saying that the problems in PDP were about 2023.

“That can be the problem in APC because it is the ruling party. This is the last tenure of Mr President so people are hustling to take over from him within his party. PDP has nothing to do with that because the way it is now, we are taking over from nothing

Is becoming a great challenge if we don't learn how to handle this politicians during elections

Just like in Edo state I hardly hear people campaigning base on contestants qualities but you keep hearing PDP will win or APC will take over . Let's rethink please

I wish to know the reason why we Nigerians don't want to know the quality of a contestant but will decide to vote for a political party irrespective of who they present as a flag bearer. I think we the youth if need changes and a develop nation that we can boldly call ours in future then we need to have a rethink of how we make choices of our leaders because if we keep supporting a party instead of the contestants then we will remain underdeveloped.... This is my view

But we need to remain focus no matter what the case may be @Throwback
OP you should heed this advice.

While I understand your angle, immorality is the new cool to a wicked and adulterous generation.

Nobody wants to watch you solve any problems that would be useful to mankind or our immediate society. They would rather pay to hear gossip and see obscenities.

Education is also overrated.

If I had known, I would have devoted my time to a career that entertains a viewing spectator, like sports and entertainment.

In fact, I intend to have my mouth in the media and entertainment pie very soon.

I don't intend to be caught napping when many are cashing out from the viewers preferences in today's media business.

Thanks @Atrix4gs. That's my stand

Like I said before this is my view. BBnaija should modify her activities in the house to make it attractive and productive than increasing the number of prostitutes. If not FG should stop such program

I think the federal government of Nigeria need to stop BBNAIJA from functioning Because BBNAIJA don't add value to the viewers rather it teaches our youths immoral behaviors. How can we be promoting prostitution in this era. I bet you if qualification of entry into BBnaija is by solving mathematics and other creative skills, we won't have people like Mercy, Tacha, IKe, Efe and so many of them. The best graduating students don't enjoy what this so called celebrities enjoy in this country. Please this is my personal view so don't take it personal

May his soul rest in peace if faithfully departed.
