The Igbos have really insulted the other tribes on their quest for Biafra. They could have called for this referendum without insults, that way tensions wouldn't have risen like this.

You can be rested assured, if the War breaks out between Hausa/Fulani and Igbos, Yorubas will not be joining any of the parties to fight any war, we will simply use that opportunity to peacefully and diplomatically declare our separate state from Nigeria.

I will advise the Minorities in the South to come together to form their own separate country likewise the minority in the North. They should not join any of the major tribes(Igbos,Yorubas or Hausa-Fulani)

so because of mere insults, we igbos deserve to die in war? i think your lying. i think the more tangible reason for your assumptions is the fact that the access to your free oil money will be cut of if a referendum is done today, not insults!

Timbuktuo:
Fortunately, for my kin, we are not that barbaric. We are not related to Ojukwu who wanted to annex ND oil in 1967.

ojukwu's time has gone. he deceived our grandfathers cos they were naive. we are more wiser now thanks to kanu and ipob

9japrof:
I was posted go the north, my orientation changed, I still remain in the north till date.

that a cow is being fed lavishly does not mean it wont be killed for meat when its time comes. a word is enough for the wise

mcbreeze:
It is a good news in positive direction.
if we leave, we will know who will suffer it most.
National assembly has failed to address the ravaging issue in the country.
Referendum is the only way to solve this problem.
let people decide where they belong.
This is democracy.
I learnt that yorubas are of the most educated tribe in Nigeria but my sadness is why they are openly supporting this blooding sucking northerner especially here on Nairaland.
Let me just believe that certificate is not common sense.

educated or not, they would rather all the igbos are exterminated so they can have access to free oil money!

Elbowroom:
How dumb. Can you be

You want biafra and still want to love inside Nigeria?
You ordered a sit at home Protest in your zone, not minding your zone contains other Nigerians running businesses, owning companies... U forced them to sit at home with you

You now get what u bargained for

Enjoy it

you are simply deluded! i mean cant u get it into ur skull that we dont want to be in this country anymore and we dont care about the consequences? Bleep dem fulanis, Bleep dem hausas, Bleep dem nigerians, we want biafra! give us biafra!

ALMUSTAQIM:
NNAMDI KANU & OTHER IPOBIAFRAN JINGOISTS HAVE BETTER REALISE THAT MORE THAN 40% OF THE IGBO POPULATION LIVE OUTSIDE THE SOUTH EAST IGBO LAND.


ACCORDING TO HILARY CLINTON " THOSE WHO LIVE IN COVFEFE HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW COVFEFE'. &


ACCORDING TO NIGERIAN PROVERB " THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES'


THANKS.

empty threats and hogwash. tell me, why did you guys fight to keep nigeria one in 1967?

APCsupporter:
are you in any way better? the south east is full of yahoo scammers, prostitutes, drug traffickers, pirates, thieving Politicians, cultists, cannibals,fake products dealers and tribalism. mention 1 bad person from the north and I will Mention 10 from the se

thats because we are being treated as slaves in this country, thats why we want biafra!

9japrof:
Bros we plenty for here, and to be honest we be true Ibo man, besides I used to have same orientation before until 2013 changed everything

what happened?

EvilMetahuman:
I thought nnamdi cownu and some igbos are the ones threatening nigerians with war tanks and nuclear bomb?
What do you call that?

And if its by negotiation, how come non of your senators and honourable who can push for referendum or the governors with powers come and say they want biafra and push a bill for referendum?

is referendum in your constitution?

kingzizzy:
Ojukwu fought for the freedom and independence of his people and that is why thw vast majority of his people and that makes him a hero for us.

You may call him a coward because he didnt stay back to die but for us, him fighting hard for three years against impossible odds makes him the bravest Igbo man ever.

You are very funny. Any man can do what he did if given the opportunity, but no sane igbo man will be willing to let 3.5 million people to die for his beliefs, I mean, whom will you rule at the end?. people like you call jonathan a coward for conceding defeat, but jonathan is head and shoulders above your hero ojukwu times 10. why? because he relinquished power to save the lives of his people! if he wanted a second term, he would've got it,No power on earth could stop, but he also knew that thousands if not millions of people will die in the process. that's a real hero, not your impulsive, megalomaniac and demagoguery coward, ojukwu ( according to the americans). if ojukwu were the leader of the yoruba and hausas, wouldn't you be happy that their people were killed? if ojukwu sacrificed his personal liberty for biafra, I would understand, but hey he ran away! why run away if you know what you want. not only that, he contested elections in Nigeria thereby completing his own humiliation!. think deeply bro. don't be impulsive and emotive like your 'hero'

kingzizzy:
Fighting is for Nigerian not Biafrans. 50 years ago, Ojukwu told Nigeria that instead of fighting and killing each other, a referendum should be conducted so the people can choose. Gowon started shouting 'one Nigeria' and started a war by ordering troops into the Eastern Region.

50 years later, Kanu and IPOB are once again saying referendum so that the people can decide

Again, you Nigerians have started shouting 'one Nigeria' and talking about war

you are beating around the bush. ojukwu didn't demand for a referendum, he unilaterally declared biafra, undermining gowon's authority in the process. if you were gowon you will do what he did! After all, ironsi dealt with boro. and please don't ever compare kanu with ojukwu again. ojukwu never sacrificed anything for biafra but kanu has sacrificed his personal liberty and has paid his dues. Also, 3.5 million people didn't die for his beliefs

whoThemBe:
YOU REASON THROUGH YOUR ANUS, DID OJUKWU UNILATERALLY DECLARE BIAFRA? WHERE YOU NOT TOLD HE WAS FORCED BY THE ELDERS.OWING TO INCIDENCES THAT TOOK PLACE UP NORTH. EWU MEH LIKE YOU.

forget those elders bro. if ojukwu were not power drunk, those elders wouldn't have forced him to declare biafra. he wanted power, saw his chance, took it, sacrificed 3.5 million people on an illusion and after the show, ran away like a coward to cote d' ivoire! case closed. ask yourself this question, why did he not sacrifice his personal freedom and liberty for biafra like nelson Mandela and co?

Brugo:
Ojukwu who sacrificed his people to fight a war he could never win. He played on the thoughtless brashness of his clansmen and abandoned them towards the end. They are quick to draw blood and even quicker to play the victim.

That is how you become a hero in Biafra.

Don't mind my fellow Igbos. they still see him as a god who can do no wrong just because he declared biafra. well, I don't blame them, I blame gowon for taking over the schools in the eastern region from the missionaries and teaching them stupidity!

kingzizzy:
You mean the 3.5 million Nigeria killed in the name of 'one Nigeria'?

think deeply before you answer, if Nnamdi kanu gives you gun to fight Nigeria now, will you fight?

niceprof:
What many may not know is that Ojukwu had a Masters degree from Oxford when he joined Nigeria Army and he was also the first Graduate to join,so he reasoning was way above his contemporaries and for those thinking that he was selfish,his father was the Dangote of that time,so he had much to lose,patrotism was the key and such brave men as he are rare.

the only thing he learned at oxford is how to sacrifice 3.5 million people for his inordinate and destructivelust for power, a power he was not willing to sacrifice his liberty for

kingzizzy:
This is the reasoning of a Nigerian. But if I asked you why Igbos consider Ojukwu their greatest hero, you wont be able to answer. Thats is to tell you that we are different people and one Nigeria does not exist

Let me ask you a question prof, what makes ojukwu a hero? and what is the dictionary definition of a hero and a coward?

kingzizzy:
Ojukwu must have had a heart bigger than the moon. To welcome a man who killed over 3 million of your brethren into your house is not something everyone can do.

Ojukwu must have had a very forgiven heart.

Ojukwu cannot have a forgiving heart because he didn't lose anything during the war. infact He is a very very very very very very wicked man for sacrificing 3.5 million children. the darkest part of hell is reserved for him forever

BlakKluKluxKlan:
.


People should be able to trust at least, most of their leaders. They can be brought back to sanity if people speak up against their negative tendencies. I should think that leadership is won by substance rather than by wealth and financial worth.

That's a no no for an igbo man. you must have money to be qualified to aspire for leadership no matter how wise you are! igbos till today still believe the lies that ojukwu sponsored the biafran war with all his father's money so they still see him as the ultimate igbo leader despite obvious evidences of destruction his impetuous and megalomaniac actions did to the igbo race till date! we igbos can best be described as a race of women!

Buhari and his fulani co- conspirators have a plan-- total chaos to inflict maximum hunger, starvation, killings, rapine and destruction. That is their plan. If not why harrass and rape old women in their farms...sons of perdition, may God strike you people dead for your wickedness!

BlakKluKluxKlan:
The very ingrained attitudes of flattinos is what you stated here. You even displaced cowardice by not coming clean but your opening sentence tells where you belong.
The yoruba have gone beyond giving a hoot whatever steretype anyone may make of them.
But while you do it, always have it at the back of your head that payback time MAY come.
Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani are the only major tribes in this country were involved in ancient wars. Warring is embedded in them and experience has thought them that it's not by noise and brawn but by tact and wisdom.

If Ojukwu had been yoruba, i doubt if the yoruba would've welcomed him back talkmore of presenting him as a presidential candidate.
He might've been lynched. The yoruba hate treachery. Recall that Obj was stoned in Abule Egba area by his own people by his unity-prone attitude to governance. He was initially banned from coming to Ibadan. The major cause of "wetie" in the SW was daddy Akintola's role in the political coup otherwise the yoruba would've confronted the north directly but don't fight a war when your opponent has friends amongst you called "enemies within".
Ojukwu betrayed Effiong to die his death asking him to fight to the death but the man was wiser.
The only major betrayers of their peoples' course in Nigeria are Azikiwe, Ojukwu, Ifeajuna. The same attitude is being played out by SE governors and NA and States assemblies
members vis-a-vis the biafra agitation. Imagine what would've happened if they have all added their collective voice to the agitation.
If Awolowo had compromised his people, he wouldn't have been persecuted and gone to jail.
Other non-yoruba members of NADECO, except Chief Ezeife, abandoned the noble course for filthy lucre. The yoruba stood their ground and confronted Abacha headlong without bearing arms and conquered him and his gestapo
machine. And that was inspite of the fact that MKO was not really in yorubas' good books for his role in the 2nd repiblic.
Whoever therefore choose to call such a tribe cowards obviously needs his head examined.

We Igbos have a hero problem. we tend to venerate our leaders as if they are gods thereby overlooking their many mistakes, just like women!

donborg:
[ dont really understand why my fellow igbos are always scared to call ojukwu a coward yet they criticise zik venomously.

I think we Igbos see ojukwu as a god, who can do no wrong. that's why we tend to overlook his many naive mistakes......smh

Daviddson:
This is one of those rare times I'm agreeing with Reno. He has said it as it is. Igbo seem to have this exaggerated self-ego and hubris. The man has provided good fact to back up his claim - Ojukwu ran away; Gowon remained in Europe after he was toppled - unlike the duo of Obj and Idiagbon. Tthough I don't like tribal politics and I'm not even a Yoruba, but I think this should shatter the false vintage of my Igbo brothers (I'm not Igbo).

[ dont really understand why my fellow igbos are always scared to call ojukwu a coward yet they criticise zik venomously.

Rikidony:
dude you couldn't get Biafra wen Nigeria just got independent and still trying to find its feet as a nation with a ragtag military.
and you expect to get Biafra now wen the country and its numerous ethnic groups has inter relate and inter marriage and a more equip military and higher intelligence with great allies from the international community. bro your brain must be paining.

the mindset of freedom beggars though

you are talking hogwash. your reasons for one Nigeria is at best childish and incorrigible. Unity beggars are begging us to stay in Nigeria yet you are here spewing nonsensical gooblydedook and balderdash. You need deliverance from your delusions.......

Brugo:
Not surprised. They are like that. Quick to forget help rendered. That's why they have no allies even among the SS. Yesterday showed us the true borders of Biafra land.

Have we ruled our self or determined our policy and future since the end of the civil war? Is this remembrance day not the first that we, as a people done since over 50 years now? Don't worry yourself, everything starts small. everything will still fall in place. the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step

Elfaris:
Lmao hehehehe you amaze me. They're all the same.. let anything start now and he'll just run off to the UK leaving you people to suffer.. Be wise.

Even in the unlikely case he abandons Biafra, another man will rise up and take his place because the majority of the Igbos do not want to stay in Nigeria

xaggar:
Forget these epistle you are writing. These ipob miscreants employ the use of intimidation. If you own a shop in Onitsha and you dare open it on that day, you'll be dealt with seriously. Your store would be vandalized right in front of your eyes; plus you maybe going home with serious bruising.

If you doubt my words, try opening your lock up shop in Aba or Onitsha or along any major road and see.

Evidence please.

Elfaris:
Some people support Biafra cos dey r Igbo...simple
Are you guyz one people?
Do you know how many constituencies lie in the territory biafra wants to claim?
Into how many bits will nations split to have a pure indivisible state?
Let's not fool ourselves, secession is dumb
Ask Eritrea
Ask South Sudan
You think the Ijaws would watch you guyz lord over them in your Biafra for up to 5 years without also contemplating a pull out?
Do you think the Ikwere man in Port Harcourt sees himself as Igbo?
How many Anioma (Bendel Ibo) in Delta, wants to die for Nnamdi Kanu?
Without the oil in the South South, u guyz can't survive
Go and study the demography of Nigeria very well, the Igbos thrive mostly by establishing businesses OUTSIDE their region. Check Gabon, check South Africa. With all the massacres in the North in 1967, you'd expect the Igbos would never return there.... alas! As soon as the war ended in 1970, they returned with full force and remain there till today. It goes to show you depend more on other people other than yourselves for survival yet you are agitating for separation. Is that not foolish thinking? The Nnamdi spearheading this stupidity wasn't even born during the first war. He won't be in the frontline when police use live bullets to disperse protesters in the coming days or weeks. He'll be in a bunker or hide away like Ojukwu
Only the foolish will die

Don't ever compare ojukwu with Kanu. Kanu will never abandon his people

shachris02:
Ndi igbo mepee nu anya (open your eyes). This is not the Biafra you seek. Ojukwu used Biafra to fight his personal war with Gowan. Now this con man albino, Nnamdi Kanu is using the same Biafra to amass power. Judaism is the fastest growing religion in the east. My people are now bowing down to greet a mortal. Kedu ihe mmere anyi? what happened to the great igbo tribe that I used to Know?

Biafra is in deeds. Helping your fellow igboman, my friend, is indeed the Biafra you seek.

How is that your problem? are the people bowing to him children? don't they have a right to do as they wish?. Why are you comparing Kanu and Ojukwu? did kanu ask you to go to war? Please if you don't know what to do with your time you better mind your own fucking business!

laribari:
How many governors, senators, ministers, past presidents and present international presidents or their representatives have visited buhari you mean?


I'm not a fan of buhari becos the idiot has failed but your comment is stupid. Who are these local kings? How many meets the status of queen of England or recognized internationally? Buhari has more authority than all of them and nobody could help kanu in prison. Cowards!!

I pity the people who liked you post honestly. It's too childish.

Like you said, leaders are born and not made. Buhari has ruled the entire country twice now and seen it all as a military and civilian leader. What next again?

Where Dem dey since? Yeye kings! Mtcheew

You lack decorum and respect

cristianisraeli:
i think the main people that dont want the igbos to go are the yorubas..because they are always worried..but the best of friends in nigeria are the yorubas and the igbos..do you know the smartest ones in nigeria are the hausas..guys you all need to wake up and stop cursing each other online..yorubas are surely going to miss the igbos when they leave nigeria..LOL..am just saying..i really dont want nigeria to break up..i dont want to have another south sudan..but my question is...is nigeria TRULY ONE NIGERIA.we all know the main people benefiting from nigeria are the yorubas ..yes the yorubas..a guy posted this on nairaland below..give the igbos all this stuff and biafra wahala will die a natural death

[b]Federal government must do these:

1. Declare May 30th, Biafra Memorial Day and ask the Senate to pass it as a law that every May 30th will be a public holiday. On this May 30th, acting President Osinbanjo will lead the commemoration of all Biafran fallen heroes and heroines, by laying a wreath at the National Square Abuja in their memory. Celebrate it like we do with Nigeria Airforces Remembrance Day. Biafran Fallen Heroes and Heroines are human too like their Nigerian counterpart.
2. A committee should be set up by the Presidential Executive Council to go to SE and fact-find on all federal roads that need repair, expansion, and construction of new roads where needed.
3. All seaports and Riverport in SS and SE; Port Harcourt, Onne, Calabar, Warri and Onitsha should be reopened, funded and allowed to function to full capacity without interference.
4. All International Airports in SE and SS; Port Harcourt, Calabar, Enugu and Asaba should be funded and allowed to function to full international airport standard like Lagos and Abuja.
5. Earmark funds to support local manufacturers in Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi.
6. Most importantly, restructure the oil and gas industry, where states will be allowed to managed their oil and gas resource, and pay tax to the center.
7. Fix the lopsided appointments by Buhari, and ensure that SE, SW, SS, NC, NW, and NE are evenly represented.
8. Do away with quota system in our educational system, and let students who score high marks reap the benefits of their labor.
9. Disarm Fulani and restrict their movements to the North only.
10. All government offices and agencies must have at least one office in Enugu, Calabar or Port Harcourt.
11. All foreign consulate and visa processing centers must have at least one office in Enugu, Calabar or Port Harcourt.
12. Assure them of a new Nigeria in the horizon, and things will be better, and more restructuring will be made in the coming months as more consultations are done. [/b]

IMPOSSIBLE for the Nigerian government to implement. They would rather Nigeria divides

Westmorland:
Unserious comedians, since when did anyone in d east become a Jew? Just a tactic brought by their director to court the support of Israel for their agitation.

I bet you 99% of these guys just bought these Jewish attire for the drama. If you ask them I bet you they don't know the first thing about judaism.

The end justifies the means bro

We are celebrating 50years of defeating renegade bandits, conquering them a turning them to our eternal Osus.
