Remember that Yenegoa is the home of the pundit who suggested the name, Biafra, for the country. "Water shall always flow to the channel its once selected".

okomogo:
Give me one reason why BIAFRA would succeed if we even decide to reconsider them, It is still those Corrupt people, like the ORJIs of ABIA STATE ,THE OKOROCHAs and NGIGEs that would be in the helm of affairs.W

These are Nigerians and shall not have no place in Biafra. Are you this slow?

chrixus:
Op @ number 8, its not just a moral right but also an ethical and a constitutional right to arrest. A man who as commited an offence of treason and felony and he is also said to influence violence against security operatives, all these are crimes against the state and they are punishable by death in some countries. And sir when sir Ojukwu (of blessed memory) gave the oppurtunity to elect an IBO in 2003 general elections, it is a really Laughable fact that he didn't win a single eastern state. Is it that you people have lost interest in him or what... OP I hope you were in one of the 'protest' today, if so please I need pictures

It is safe to say you are ignorant of the word, treason, and what it constitutes,

@OP

You can enjoy the bigger picture you saw in your delusional dreams about Ndiigbo in Nigeria for all we care; the crux of the political matter remains self-determination by Ndiigbo. It could be in Biafra but I preferred Republic of Igbo land. Nigeria is a cosmopolitan package of inheritable backwardness. When you wake from the deep slumber, I suggest you take a long stare at a country that could not clean an ordinary gutter.

People who donated the land to Nigerian army are inherently idiotic. Any land donated to Nigerian army is a land donated to Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri and other ethnicities from northern region of Nigeria.

basilo101:
that is why britian dont want Biafra, they kw biafrans will drill and refine the oil with their own technology

It could not be said any better.

The shooting of an unarmed protester by Nigerian security agents will lead to a war. I guess the deluded Nigerians should remember who started the shooting.

MinorityTribe:
I am just trying hard not to judge the entire Igbos because of these moroñs. This really got to my nerves.

You are one among numerous reasons Nigeria is regarded as a backward country. Self-determination is sourced from human intellect. I wonder how a certain cross-section of Nigerians finds such endeavor an aberration.

Ndiigbo are no threats to anybody in Nigeria especially Yari.ba. However this position could change if Nigeria should disintegrate into nation states. Only a nation can be a threat to another nation because of sovereign leverage.

basilo101:
release their names. if i see a non igbo name then the "we south south" crew will be put to shame again like the PH protest

South-south is a slave mentality.

hinwazaka:
Then Peterside should just declare himself lord conqueror of Rivers state and start ruling. The fools at APC will never learn. You will accept anyone into your stup1d party, just because you are so desperate for power. In BAYELSA Timi ALAIBE after failing to buy the candidature of the APC, has now retraced his steps and has in cohorts with the PDP, almost killed Silva's ambition. You complain of Saraki and Atiku, from day to day. But yet once any member of the PDP gives you the greenlight, you jump at the offer. I pity the APC, for it is a desperate party DOA.

APC makes Nigerians look more idiotic than goats.

firstEVA:
I'm even surprised they could leave their "market" to protest

These people know the virtues in freedom. There is no freedom in the zoo called Nigeria which is creation of colonialists.

Movic1:
Jobless Indeginous Pigs Of biafra Dm no even get money to print many flags.

You are an indigenous Pigs Of Nigeria. The zoo called Nigeria was coined by a mistress or a run girl. Biafra was and for indigenous people.

Abagworo:
Majority of Igbos are indifferent about it. Say 80% and prefer going about their business. To these people Biafra is a nuisance. The remaining 20% are mostly pro-Biafrans and few pro-Nigerians like me.

You are a dumbass fence-sitter. Nigeria is a useless entity that cannot be able to clean its gutters. I am not surprise you are pro-Nigeria because your comments are utter filthy

The animals in the zoo called Nigeria should not worry about river roads in Port Harcout. After all, the state is appropriately named Rivers State.

What a joker!!! If Daura Dumbass a.k.a Muhammadu Buhari knows the members of the cabal, he should go public with their names or set the justice department hunt dogs loose on them. Or he should simply keep quiet and remain confused.

Simply put, most Nigerians are dumbass goons. Why should any reasonable fellow feel stung by surprise that Nigeria is a dead-end? Muhammadu Buhari joined Nigerian army on a desperate corruptible machination engineered by Tafawa Balewa and northern Nigeria elites. The same group of northern Nigeria elites and their wards have been at the helms of Nigerian political apparatus. The Daura dumbass is more corrupt than Tinubu.

All these idiotic shenanigans are noting but empty regrets. The enemies are noted and will never make Biafra. As for the Republic of Igbo land, it is humanly impossible.

The crude oil is one of the worst things that blinded Nigerians.

teeowl:
now niger-deltans want biafra? I thought they wanted their own country?

Are you this slow? There is nothing such as niger-deltans in Nigeria. Who are benue-deltans or imo-deltans or Que-deltans or urashi-deltans or even rima-deltans. Some folks in the zoo called Nigeria brazenly act foolishly as if their creator simply created fools.

ABUGEORGE:
I like this Man Principle...... Nigeria Will Be Great Again,,,, I Believe

Are you this irresponsibly gullible?

The Republic of Igbo land will seal off all crude oil wells in its territory on the attainment of independence. The country will follow the Japan as a model. Only dumbass fools concern themselves with crude oil. In fact, mere service sector of Nigerian economic yields more dividend to the country’s GDP than crude oil sector.

cramjones:
I have keenly observed the current events that have led to the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the Biafran movement. I have mixed reactions to the events that have transpired and have communicated my thoughts to the Nigerian Presidency. I will attempt elucidating my thoughts here.

1. I am of the opinion that the call for Biafra is legitimate: Firstly, Biafra existed before Nigeria was created. It was made up of people with similar cultures and language (with majority tribe being Igbo). It is perfectly legitimate for the original inhabitants of the country to yearn to have back their country and resources under their control. However, I do not believe that Biafra is a viable solution at this time.

2. During the Biafran war it is estimated that at least 1 million people of largely Igbo extraction were killed! This is no doubt in mind a genocide. However, the Nigerian government has made a fundamental mistake by:

a. Not recognizing it ever took place, or playing down the number of those that died for political reasons, only serve to fuel violence and the call for secession.
b. They have also made a major mistake by not even having a memorial day to remember those that died during the genocide - This action alone will give a sense of belonging and would foster a deepened National unity.

3. If the government does not look into the creation of a true federation whilst implementing its pseudo-federalism, and pretend that a genocide never took place, then the dissolution of Nigeria or even the metastasis of the Biafrian movement becomes inevitable.

4. Despite the premise I have laid out, I still do not think a Biafran state is viable. This is why

i. The Eastern Goverments are fundamentally corrupt; A visit to present day Imo and Abia will attest to the corruption and rot that have plagued the region. These leaders have all FAILED to develop the east with the resources given to them. If they had made the East the "dubai" of Nigeria, everyone including the international community would have taken the cry for Biafra serious. The argument would be if the "Biafran leaders" can develop their region with the "little" resources given them, it is only fair they secede and do even more for their people and their region. However, this is not the case. A Biafran state will only lead to another mini civil war, and a fight for resources and wealth among Biafrans.

ii. Since 1970 when the war ended the geo-political dynamics of the Biafran region has changed. For example the people of Rivers would not want to be part of a country where their individual tribes become a minority. Same will go to Akwa Ibom etc. This will then lead to a disintegration of the original Biafran state, and would lead to a battle for resource control.

iii. If the above happens, Biafra would essentially be a landlocked country, and this can lead to an invasion and fight of Rivers, in order to fight for port control, oil revenue etc. Igbos will definitely need the ports since most of them are international business men, and won't afford to pay regions like Rivers for all the billions of dollars of imports that takes place in the region.

In summary, an eventual Biafran state through a peaceful referendum will lead to a situation worse than South Sundan.

Way forward:

1. President Buhari MUST as a matter of urgency look into the white paper of the national conference and work assidiously with congress to make sure he implements true Federalism.

2. We must as a matter of urgency accept that at least 1 million Igbos where killed and establish a day to remember these precious lives that were gone. We must go a step further to make sure we teach this history to our kids, and not ban it from being tought in schools.

3. If the Federal government treat the Biafra issue with kids gloves, we may have something worse than Boko Haram in our hands.

4. Release Nnamdi Kanu immediately! Sit down with him and lay out your plans to resolve this issue. It would be a disservice to the Igbo people to compare the rise of Boko Haram with this present agitation, but history has thought us that as dynamic and complex Nigeria is, we MUST as a matter of urgency address the agitation of the Biafrans, before it metastasize to a problem bigger than Nigeria. A stitch in time saves nine!

Personally, I have shared these thoughts to my friend and brother Femi Adeshina with the hope that he would communicate this to P.M.B.

It is my hope that this does not destroy our country in our very eyes.

Per the bolded, you are simply a head-case. It is either you are a lamentable dunce or you are alien to Nigerian local politics leveraging on tribal and paranoiac mandates.

mulattoclaro:
that's why you're a fool and will continue to remain one. Check edo and see for yourself. How come companies like NPDC, Seplat, Newcross, Dubril , Pan-Ocean, NNPC etc are in Edo state? Sometimes I begin to imagine if you igbos are cursed? The oil in edo is even more than the one in imo, abia and SE combined. Google is your friend.

Yet you are idiotically backward and Edo State is silly backwater.

adgorwell:
Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has said the Igbo will not use the platform of any separatist group, including the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB)

Mallam Rochas Okorocha, you are not Igbo. There is no single Igbo attributes in a moronic dingbat such as you.

helinues:
As far as I am concerned, he had been referring to Nigeria as a zoo. And for him to be in zoo, he should be kept in a zoo especially lion's den.


Quote me and make Amadioha strike you

You have already been struck by Amadioha. If your forbearers were kept in lion's den during the fight for independence of fraud known as Nigeria, a dumbass ninny such as you would have been rotten in a zoo that is worse than Nigeria.

naijapips02:
Biafrans are whiter than white and whiter than snow. Igbos are Ndi isi ojii.

True, some igbo youths have been brainwashed with the biafran hullabaloo, But That's just it......them and their miserable lives. Don't rope an entire tribe into a struggle because of some misguided folks.

You wouldn't find it funny If I say that all Hausas are boko haram, would you? Or all yorubas are alayes.

it's quite unfortunate that few of my igbo brothers have been brainwashed, But they are totally on their own.

Please do take Note.

The rant of a deluded rat.

Is it a surprise that British never supported the idea of Biafra? It is simply a colonial stream of thought.

IGBOSON1:
Could someone in-the-know educate us on why a Justice Maman Nasir recommended that Obigbo be carved out of Abia and placed in Rivers? I'm curious to know!

To make sure that any Igbo land with seemly grain of crude oil is cut off from the Igbo land.

Obiagu1:
"About eighty or ninety years ago, an Ibo chief settled
with his slaves on the Bonny river. This Opubo, or
Obullo, the " Great Man," was grandfather of the present
chief : his son took the name of Pepper (Pepple), which he now
spells with a change, and married a woman from the
Abilli (Billa) country, west of the New Calabar river.


https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=UVl6FNYJ1KkC&pg=PA271&hl=en&redir_esc=y

Per the bolded, the correct name is Opu Obu.

Only dunces failed to see the idiotic British hand in the issue of Israel and Arabs. West Bank and Gaza Strips were meant to part of Israeli state. It is irony that Arabs never cared to change West Bank to its traditional name. It is very un-Arab too.

ALISMILE:
Brutal images of kids during the Nigerian civil
war for consumption of those beating drums of
war by their secessionist ambition. Pls have a
rethink if you are one of those requesting for a
violent break of a biafran republic.

The symptoms of malnutrition was very evident in Richmond, VA the capital of confederate USA. Yet it must be recall the confederacy in USA did not face the total blockade Biafra faced in the hands of Nigeria and Cameroon.
