If you want to part ways from Nigeria, then by all means do. But speak only for yourself, last I checked, no one made u our spokesman or representative.

You should have kept quiet. I guess you are the spokesperson or representative of Nigeria.

The only thing Igbo and Yoruba had for any form of settlement is a distinct homeland for each group. Yoruba should occupy a different country as Igbo.

AAinEqGuinea:
if you think radio Biafra is bad, try being a non-white person in America and having a major news channel called Fox News helping those minions justify their racism and belief in white supremacy everyday.

The word racism is a misnomer. Where there is a belief, there is element of doubt. By the way, there is nothing such as white supremacy unless your inferior mentality is playing serious tricks on you.

NgwaManNaija4LF:
Hahhaha,where do you want to form it at first place,please count Abia out of this mess, after all, we are the one who lost our son. He died a Nigerian. Cry me a river. Biafria my foot. Forward Nigeria.

Please shut up your putrid mouth. Do you own Abia State? In a scheme of things in Abia State, you are nobody. If you do not want Biafra, the Biafrans will be at dock and wave bye-bye as you sail to the sunset. Who needs a dumbass as compatriot?

same2u:
national leader of All Progressives Congress, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, has said President Muhammadu Buhari deserves the support of all Nigerians, especially the Igbo race, in other to succeed.

Onu, who is a former governor of the old Abia State, said this while receiving in audience a five-man interim planning committee of the World Igbo Conference in his residence in Abuja.

According to him, the Ndigbo owed it a duty to fully support Buhari because they stand to benefit more from the new Nigeria which the Buhari-led APC administration is building.

He noted that because the Igbos lived everywhere within the country, the benefits accruable to them individually and collectively in a Nigeria which works, is incalculable.

Onu expressed confidence that the Buhari-led administration would work for all Nigerians irrespective of ethnic, political or religious inclination.

While calling on the Ndigbo to embrace the APC and support the President, Onu recalled that the Igbos in the 19 northern states demonstrated their commitment towards building this new thinking by voting massively for the President and the APC during the last general elections.

Onu said, “Ohaneze must be commended for what it’s doing as regards the welfare of Igbos throughout the country and beyond. We have Igbos everywhere; there is no town in Nigeria where there are no Igbos. In Nigeria and across the world, there is no place where we don’t have Igbo resident.

“We, as Igbos, are the only major ethnic group that is not indigenous to any other country in the world. So, you look at ethnic groups that are indigenous in Nigeria, what that means is that outside Nigeria, there is no other country for the Igbos. For other major ethnic groups, this is not the case.”The leader of the delegation and chairman of the committee, Chief Ben Aranusi, said for a long time the Ndigbo seemed not to know their place in Nigeria hence the need to sit down and talk.

The above is arrant nonsense especially the bolded.

dhardline:
I think its high time there should be a law that makes it an offence if you are around an accident victim and do not make effort to either take the victim to the hosital or render some form of serious assistance and also makes it a crime for hospitals to reject patients with gun shot wounds.Instead while they treat they should inform the police at once to come and investigate.
Sometimes i wonder why little things like this are so hard for our leaders to put in place.

The laws in book are flaunted as in the case of the bullion van driving on the wrong side of the road with impunity yet you want additional laws.

ekenedegreat:
Why are my Igbo brothers expecting something from buhari?

Bros I do not know the reason behind the expectation. Daura Dumbass as head of state of Nigeria refused to support Dr. Peter Onu as secretary general of OAU instead the sucker supported a Fulani from Niger Republic.

Nigeria is a jungle. Only in a jungle can such animalistic behavior take place.

Not impressed at all. They looked lost amid the military hardware.

lorbar42:
It has always been something of importance to look back to the Nigeria-Biafra war when the words "No victor No vanquish" comes to my hearing.
Though, majority were yet unborn,while some were still young in the days of the profusely offensive war that kicked off on the 6th of July,1967. But thanks to history that has kept the record for us and even the generation unborn.
meanwhile, some people describe the action of the Nigeria government and Nigeria army as a genocide on the then defunct Biafra side by imposing blockade on the coastal oil facilities exposing the Biafra side to severe famine.
The civil war has been recorded to have a military casualties and military losses of 35000 and 75000 respectively. where the civilian casualties recorded about 2-3million lives. What a huge figure!!!
The agitation of Biafra by igbos in the east and some minor tribes in the south south was for them to have a place they can be heard, a place where their view can be considered, a place where they will have a sense of belongings, a place where they will not feel marginalized. But checking what resulted to the Biafra agitation, one will be quick to ascertain that it was the political motives that brought about the call and yearn for a new nation.
At first, I believe it was the yorubas that should complain about a foul when the then NPC in the north formed an alliance with the then National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon party in the east. while the action group in the west, made up of the Yoruba people happily played the opposition role.
There is always a saying that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This I believe was the thought of some people in the north who felt that the first coup d'état led by major Kaduna Nzeogwu that cost sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and sir Ahmadu Bello their lives, had only benefitted the Igbo's because it was perceived that most of the coup plotter were Igbo. An event that ought to b checked through proper investigations and bringing the perpetrators to law was put aside under the watch of general Aguiyi Ironsi who eventually became the head of state on Jan 16, 1966 a day after the failed plot. The north in response to what they see as an "Igbo conspiracy"replied and led to the progroms in the north which resulted to the killings of thousands of igbos while millions of igbos fled to the east. It was not only the east that was ready for secession then but there were secession threats from the western region and the northern region.
A country that some people have fought for with their strength, sweat,blood,time and power to gain independence from the British colonialist was fast becoming a battle ground occupying spectators to watch as every event unfold through the actions of some of our selfish, uncommitted and callous politicians.
Every tribes suffered from the civil war; the igbos, the hausas and the yorubas with other minor tribes all have the story to tell about the civil war. The hatred grew among tribes but the truth of the matter is that we are all dependent on one another which has make this country unique. A country made up of different tribes and ethnic s, a country made up of over 1000 languages coming together as a body and our strength as a nation lies in our diversity. the teeth will bite the tongue, for that the tongue can't disown the teeth. From both sides of the war we should salute all the generals and all the gallant men that fought a fight of courage including the fallen heroes. It is hightime we put the pain of civil war behind our sentiments and give room for the injuries it brought along be healed up. it is high time we looked forward and think about a solutions that will bring Nigeria out of the crises and challenges the country is currently subjected to. Nigeria shall be great again if we work together in one accord. The government has its role to play and deliver its promises to the people. you have your part to play, I have my part to play.Let's join hand and build a better Nigeria and a country that the coming generation will be proud of.
God bless every tribes.
God bless Nigeria.

The above is arrant nonsense that dripped from ill-educated mind. Sometimes it is good to remain silent.

Most Nigerians are very short-ranged in the department of mental retentiveness. In 1985, Daura Dumbass, as head of state of Nigeria prefer to drink rat poison to supporting Dr Peter Onu as OAU secretary-general instead the Daura ninny supported a Fulani from Niger.

kennydee05:
This appointment is not subject to Federal Character.
You appoint based on competency and trust

I wish this statement could be applied to the quota system by which the service chiefs were recruited in the Armed Forces of Nigeria. Let us do away with quota system so to see how many northerners could be qualified to become a second lieutenant talk less service chief. Nigeria shall remain a practical joke forever.

kazmanbanjoko:
Let dem keep goofing, sooner or later, they will be gone

Why should the governors not goof when hosted by a goofy one?

AshiwajuFoward:
Bro, what you just uttered is BLASPHEMY. If Kanu also shares this sentiment then he's headed for failure unless you both repent.

I say go to the pits with your blasphemy. I suggest you take your religion out of the peoples' quest for a homeland.

CFCfan:
Washington Spirit have signed Ngozi Okobi from Delta Queens. She'll join two other Super Falcons players - Josephine Chukwunonye and Francisca Ordega at the club.

I pray for Ngozi Ebere to secure position among European or USA teams. She is a new find during FIFA 2015 Canada.

CFCfan:
Wow. This Pinnick-led NFF are clear departure from the usual NFF way of appointing coaches.

Hesterine Reus' resume is quite impressive, but a former Falcons player should be one of her assistants. At 53, she wouldn't be in the job for more than 10 years or thereabout.

Who knows, she could be the 2nd foreign coach to win a men's or women's WC after English woman, Jill Ellis, did it for the USA

Another letdown to the image of Africa. Does it mean Nigerians cannot manager ordinary soccer team?

coolscott:
There is a theorised connection. For some reason I have not been able to sit down and expansiate on this but I hope I do soon.

In the meantime, anyone who is informed, please drop here whatever information you have on the issue.

We thought when the PDP left power, the insurgency would stop. Therefore most of us have got it wrong with regards to what/who we thought was behind book baram.

Please leave any useful information you have about this here.
Thanks

There are things not meant for public consumption especially when such public is idiotic Nigerian one.

oladele97:
u don't have a point

When Nigeria decreed that everybody should go back to their region of origin in 1966, Ndiigbo from Midwestern region of Nigeria where safe when they reached eastern region from northern or western region.

Gravanno:
Not saying that you are wrong in a broad sense, but these people don't believe we are serving the same God. Have you read about Jesus in Talmud? There's no bishop or pastor that hasn't been spat on in Isreal. They bombed oldest orthodox church in Palestine killing all men of God therein before going on blood sucking spree feasting of innocent children and women.

Isreal is a terrorist state(the bombing of [b]USS Liberty, Lavon affair, MOSSAD killing people using fake passport and so on) like Iran, Saudi Arabia and so on, so I get worked out when I see gullible people believing there's anything God about these people. Isreal is running the biggest open air prison in Gaza strips and another concentration camp in Negev desert. Today isreal is supporting ISIS with logistics.
[/b]
The only thing making isreal what it is today is the powerful jewish lobby in America AIPAC, ADL, American Jewish Committee and not God. Today, the Jews are in fore front for introducing gay marriage and destruction of conservative christian family in US and elsewhere. Today the Jews are winning against Christmas & Christians in US replacing happy xmas with happy Hanukkah Menorah. To get the true picture of what am saying, get a copy of THE PROTOCOL OF LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION or Google the illustration of the protocol of learned elders of zion.

They preached for separation of state and religion but always celebrate Hanukkah Menorah in white house by lighting the biggest Hanukkah tree.

Please talk about what you know for fact and leave other subjects, such as the bolded, to the crowd of pontificators.

wirinet:
I am surprised you do not know that the Jewish God is different from the Christian God. The main difference being that while the Christian God is 3 God in 1 or 1 in 3, with Yahweh (Jehovah), Jesus(his son) and Holy spirit co-existing, the Jewish God is one God, who has no son. Also while the Christian Gods is God of all races, the Jewish God is God only to the Jews. The Christian God has a
heaven and Hell where he sents saints and sinners, while the Jewish God makes no such provision as Jews do not believe in hell or heaven. There are lots of differences between the two Gods.

You know all these about God for fact yet you have not change the luck of the jungle called Nigeria. I must tell you that where there is a belief, there is also element of doubt. All you have enumerated are narratives that had no iota of prove.

Pavore9:
Every man and his conviction. I am proudly lgbo but Nnamdi Kanu represents nothing to me. l have listened to Radio Biafra severally online but l feel no affinity.

Any Igbo person who is emotionally not stroke by mere agitation of home land for Ndigbo in particular and Biafrans in general is a bloody fool.

oladele97:
With the recent movement for emancipation of Biafra nation by many Igbos (establishment of radio Biafra, online reaction and the call of the recognition of republic of Biafra by UN.)
I took my time to go through the map and realize the Igbo and the entire Biafra nation are not sagacious enough in the demand for Biafra nation or what they refer to as true federalism.
Despite the repudiation of some included zone such as EFFIK & IBIBIO, the igbo has refuse to dispel them from the plan.
I met a guy just of recent whose name is Emeka, from kogi state but claimed to be IGALA and also speak igbo fluently.
How come you bear Emeka and not an igbo? I asked
He reply by saying my village is a stone throw from Nsuka but is in kogi state.
This perhaps force me to go through Nigeria map meticulous and make some other research and I realize Igbo do not only have their kit and kin in kogi state but as well as Benue state.
If Igbo could remember to plan to plan Akwa Ibom, C/river etc in their Biafra dream, why have they forgotten their own brothers in the north central.
My opinion tells me that the south-easterners are more interested in the wealth of the ijaw and Ibibio
Let me use this opportunity to remind you that whenever the Yoruba counterpart having a regional meeting, there kit and kin in kogi, edo and delta are always included
Dele Aliu

From the above crap, it is safe to say you know nothing about nation building. Initially Biafra was a matter of eastern region but actual Biafra would have included Ndiigbo across the River Niger as well as those in today's Benue and Kogi States. British government knew the reason it fought so hard to stop Biafra.

Nigerian society should be allowed to own guns for self defense. Democracy, among other things, ensures that people can have marginal self defense. After all, the first law in nature is self preservation. Nigerians seem to hop on all the wrong things about the developed society but jettison the real things that made them developed.

naijapiper:
think again. His followers believe his words more than they believe Jesus.

You and Jesus are bloody jokers!!!!

What has Jesus Christ got to do with Igbo mythology? The Jesus Christ crap is an imported junk into Igbo land.
