What's wrong with a group saying that theyno longer want to be part of Nigeria. I obviously see nothing wrong with that.
People should be free to make their own choice.
Besides not everything can be solved with the use of force this one inclusive.

Besides it's not like there's even love between the various ethnic groups.

This. I see nothing wrong with the secession, I don't know why so many are taking it personally.

Anytime a topic is made on Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu, the words of the late Japanese admiral, Isoroku Yamamoto comes to mind. "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve."

Nigerian Journalism at its finest. He was found with head injuries and his motorcycle skidded off the road, all signs point to a road accident but because his brother alleges he was murdered with no evidence backing his claims it is titled "Nigerian killed in India over Biafra" to get more clicks and views.

I feel your pain, man. But things will only get worse before they get better. Terrible times are ahead.

No excuse for this type of hammering in front of your fans. Making Bunley look like Barca. Pitiful.

I tire for all this noise. Nigeria should be a loose confederate.

Nah this is definitely satire..lol

you are right bro. African Americans also exhibit complex issues. some insist solomon, Moses and Jesus christ were black.

They were Black. My Black people your heritage was robbed from from yet you do not know. You are currently residing in the valley of the dry bones.
Ezekiel 37:11-12
Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.

Sometime in the 90s, Bola Ige wrote a controversial but landmark essay called, "The Road To Kigali." He later developed it into a series of essays published in his Nigeria Tribune Column, Uncle Bola’s Column, and so many other newspapers and magazines.

If you skim out the controversies as it relates to who is playing the role of the Tutsi and who is playing the Hutu in the case of Nigeria, the late lawyer and an agitator for a National Conference, argued that, left on the same path Nigeria was on, the people of Nigeria were headed for the same fate that befell Rwanda. The core of his argument was that a country that is structurally flawed, inherently unjust, where impunity reigns, and law and order means nothing to anyone, would constantly flirt with doom.

Bola Ige saw were Nigeria was headed over 20yrs ago..

Nigeria is caught up in a cold war that could get hot real quick.

It doesn't matter. We all should fully come to terms with the eventual split of this country.

Thread will be lit by tomorrow. Although nairaland ethnic clashes are very pathetic, they are also so funny.

Nigerians are soaring in the US. Most educated immigrant group. That is why I will never believe that whites are intellectually superior to us.

Whew! If that was me, I would disappear from the face of the Earth. 3yrs before anyone realized they were scammed? That is more than enough time to fully settle in a new identity and country.

Igbos:
Deveroping.... The guy resemble Evans..

But wait oo!
Tramadol na banned substance?

It's not banned. It is painkiller medication but people use it recreationally to get high, just like Percocet, Vicodin etc.

There is absolutely no chance the Igbos leave and Nigeria remains intact. None!

If you don't live or work in Ikorodu steer clear. They are killing anybody they don't recognize.

deedeedee1:
Are you saying he was killed because he is igbo?

I don't know why people are bringing tribal sentiments. There is a very high chance that the 2 other guys are Yoruba

ScotsReferendum:
Technological education that creates industrial wealth

That is Kanu's plan

Kanu has said he doesn't want to rule Biafra. Regardless of whether Biafra is actualized or not, Kanu will still primarily live in the UK. Lets be real.

Apple is valued at 810 billion dollars.
Google at 660 billion.
Microsoft at 545 billion.
Amazon at 480 billion.
Facebook at 440 billion.
The five of them have close to 600 thousand employees.
These are the largest companies on planet earth; and they are all tech companies....they made their money from innovation...thinking out of the box. Funny enough, they are all bigger than nigera; the so called giant of africa.
That governor should be impeached.

Brilliant post. There is a reason why we are still a 3rd world country. We have 3rd world leaders. Apple is even richer than 45 out of 50 states in US.

diegwu01:
This is exactly how Biafra would be run, Ethnic Bigotry, Discrimination and Hate. This is happening in the Catholic Church, Shame!
Count me out of Biafra!

All things present in Nigeria and some​ more. Islamic extremism, ethnic clashes etc.

Why are you resurrecting a 4yrs old story? Even pushing to FP. You People are too desperate to paint a misleading narrative.

Stupidity​. My Dad schooled in Nsukka and I served in Abia, and we were both treated with respect and a member of the family. I'm Ijaw btw.

Just here for the comments.

ITS A LIE THAT MONEY FROM THE NORTH FUNDED OIL EXPLORATION IN THE SOUTH

Professor Ango Abdullahi actually repeated this lie recently. He said this, ironically, while exhorting Emir Sanusi II to “go and read history.” The truth is that not a dime of northern Nigeria’s money contributed to oil exploration in the Niger Delta.

When oil was discovered in commercial quantities in Oloibiri in 1956, Shell bore the financial burden for the exploration. Other Euro-American oil companies later joined in oil exploration. It wasn’t until 1973 that the Nigerian federal government acquired 30 percent shares in oil companies. By 1973, Northern Nigeria had ceased to exist; it had been divided into states.

In any case, colonial records show that the biggest motivation for amalgamating northern and southern Nigeria was because northern Nigeria wasn’t financially self-sustaining and the British Imperial Government said it would never subsidize colonial administration anywhere in Africa. So Lord Lugard amalgamated the two regions and used the surplus from the south to sustain the north. It’s illogical to say that a region that wasn’t financially self-sustaining financed oil exploration in the Niger Delta.

Farooq Kperogi (A Northerner)

So prior to indepedence the South was so productive that its surpluses sustained the North? Lol Southerners should curse Lugard while the Northerners should bless his memory.
Can you imagine a Southern confederate without that born to rule mentality and radical Islam. We can only dream...

Bunch of old men calling themselves youth

NothingDoMe:
It's too late for that

It is never too late for tolerance. Brotherly Bond, on the otherhand, forget it.

Toks2008:
Sometimes these igbo people don't even know what they want....

You say you want Biafra and now you are given the chance to have it and you are still acting stubborn.

I will advise the igbo to use this opportunity to foster their demand and leave the north regardless of their investments if truly they are sincere about the Biafra agitation.

They have not been given that chance. There is no referendum yet. As long as their official national identity remains Nigerian, they can still travel anywhere within Nigeria without bother. From what I've seen their resolve in achieving Biafra remains unshakable.
You want to get rid of them from "your" lands. You know what to do.

I agree completely. The operative word is "CITIZEN". Igbos are still citizens and you can't ask them to leave any part of Nigeria, while "One Nigeria" exists. Bid your time and wait for Biafran sovereignty then as you please.

Lol The Irony of screaming one Nigeria, then telling Igbo who are officially Nigerians to leave Northern Nigeria because they hurt their feelings with a sit-in remembering their heroes.
It is very clear that secession is the best course of action for the Igbo.
I foresee not only Biafra coming out of Nigeria but several nations just like Yugoslavia.
