In the 60s, the igbos after a series of well orchestrated campaign of calumny/violence directed against them by the rest of the majority tribes in Nigeria, asked for the loosening up of the Nigerian federation, the same way Indians and the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis sat down and worked out seperate unions, but this noble idea was ruthlessly stone-walled by the rest of Nigeria. Rather than chart a course of peace, Gowon and his brothers in genocide unleashed a genocidal campaign basically to cleanse the Biafran enclave of any indigenous ethnic grouping. Biafra didn't ask for war. Biafra wasn't interested in war. War was forced on an unprepared Biafra and the butchery tha followed has become an infamous badge of honour worn with glee and expressed whimsically with taunts by these groups whose only stake in the Nigerian state is to contineously fashion out ways to loot Biafran resources.

Fast forward to 40 years after that brigandage/carnage, an ideologically placid lawyer, out of his frustrations with the Nigerian states vicious attempts to stunt the developmental strides of his biafran people, started a non violent agitation for the freedom of his people. He was deliberate, painstakenly carefull and very detailed in his peacefull pursuit of this very noble goal. What was Nigerias government reaction to this? Killings, more killings and many more killings. Today, Uwazuruikes peacefull engagement with the Nigerian state over Biafra has become a source of derision towards him as fellow Biafrans and sympathetic nigerians who have always pointed to his grand delusions in thinking that you can peacefully nudge an intoxicated-power drunk king kong back to the part of peace contineously remind him of his follies that have cost a reasonable amount of lives. Biafra has never fought a war with Nigeria per se. Biafra was simply invaded by different powers for obvious reasons. Biafra is now getting set for an inevitable confrontation with the nigerian state and that's where the kanus become even more relevant. Nigeria asked for this.

Bros most Nigerians are basic fools. From Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, northern regional assembly, Fani-Kayode to SL Akintola took to airwave to castigate Ndiigbo and indulged in orchestrated campaign of calumny/violence falsely aimed at Ndiigbo in pretense of dominance by Ndiigbo. These jackasses talking ills about Radio Biafra will be the same dingbats to tell false history of the origin of Nigeria/Biafra civil war. Any Nigerian who slightly thought that Nigeria/Biafra civil war has ended is bloody goon.

Empty accolade!!!! Lagos has been modern when Fashola was still a school boy.

mikeansy:
The Biafra question is feeding off the narrowness or should I say the smallness of the Nigerian politics

Why does it have to be a choice between the status quo or outright separation?

Why is there nothing in-between

What of devolution or true federalism? Why are they not on the front burner?

A fence-setter is worse than both world. Nigeria is built on deceit colonially or locally therefore outright disintegration is the answwer.

Aegon:
How can a radio station anchored by one man whatever be his agenda be fuelling concerns? One man? There is something you're not telling me.

Nobody could say it better, bros.

Amee1:
Northerners and SW are d one that votes for change.Then key positions belongs to them.I pity SE & SS u do'nt have political wisdom.If I recall even during GEJ northerners dominate his cabinet.I'm writing as northerner!

Since Nigeria's independence, most Nigerians know the regions that cry louder than other when the so-called political wisdom falls away from them. The regions have even gone as far as perpetrating a war.

ascaris:
Sweeping change indeed! We voted for change and change is here with us so, why complain. Those names mentioned have good credentials and in my opinion are eminently qualified to mount the speculated positions.

I have no iota of respect for the qualifications or credentials said to have been achieved by any person from the northern region of Nigeria. Any such bloated achievement is padded with nepotism and quota system. Do we need to look farther than Daura President who was not qualified to wear military officer's uniform? What about the current ADC to Daura President whose stay in Nigerian army has been riddled with nepotistic questions? It said that the fish begins to rotten from the head. The joke is on the northern region of Nigeria.

Jagaban of Borgu,,,,,,,The Lion of Bourdilion,,,,,,,,,,Leader of Common Sense Revolution..........Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu..............You're my Mentor and Leader...................When Tinubu was struggling for Democracy to Strive in Nigeria Saraki is using Pampers.

It seems most Nigerians are inherently and moronically deluded. When did dumbass Tinubu lead a revolution? Has there been any foolish revolution in Nigerian talk less common sense? It mind bulging to read daydream fallacies from dumbass and so-called Nigerians.

The entire Nigerian society needs to be re-oriented and the best way to achieve such goal is disintegration of the jungle.

styno22:
The military is the only force that is allowed to wear the camouflage. Infact the camouflage is made for the military, it is an abuse to the uniform when other security agents put it on.

Who informed you that military is the only force that is allowed to wear the camouflage? The last time I checked though, Nigerian Police is an armed force.

Super1Star:
Lol.

VP Yoruba

Senate President Yoruba

Deputy Speaker Yoruba.

Out of over 250ethnicities in Nigeria.

If that is what is called usage, then we are more than happy.

You are indeed correct. I remembered that Oyo-ile capital of the village empire known as Oyo was 30 miles north of Ilorin. Even the Duara Dullard could be Yoruba too. However, Otta dingbat is certainly a Yoruba.

nduchucks:
I detect a cheap shot thrown at my brothers from the SW in this post. Why not just name the certain ethnic groups if fear is not a factor?

Please redirect your knowledgeable antenna and you easily detect there was no iota of cheap shot in previous post. Remember he who comes for equity must come with clean hands.

GentleToks:
The most smartest Nigerian ever liveth( This is what you deserve after death. This should be written on a special marble)

There is nothing smart about a person talking of war in a matter of disintegration of Nigeria instead of song. Nigerians do not need to go to war for them to go their separate ways.

wirinet:
Can you please expantiate on the above. Nigeria recovered fully from the civil war within 10 years. By 1977, Nigeria's had so much money that she decided to host the whole of Africa in a Jamboree. Even Gowon Boasted that money was not the problem, how to spend it is. The problem we have today is a cummulative effect of greed, avarice and vanities of our leaders (Biafrans included) and the seeming helplessnes of the people.

A second civil war will only be bloodier and more viscious than the first one because the hatred on all sides is much more intense than the last time, no thanks to the struggled for power at the centre. But i truly cannot see how the result would be different.

Once a person becomes handicapped, there is no amount of money he or she deposited in the bank(s) can change the fact he/she is partially damaged. Nigeria is a damaged good.

mulattoclaro:
The igbos are a greedy bunch who want to control and dominate other ethnic groups and when they see they're not given the chance to they start crying of marginalization. I've always known them to sore losers and cry babies. All this noise making simply cos Gej lost to buhari. I'm from the South South and I really wanted jonathan to win. But let's tell ourselves the truth cos the truth they say is bitter. What did Gej do they actually requires him being reelected? Igbos need to stop disturbing this country otherwise what happened to them in the civil war will be a little compared to what will hit them now.

When a petulant scallywag such as you join the bashing of Igbo yet claimed to have hailed from south-south, it a behavior noted among those whose forbearers where slaves and very mush ashamed of their ethnicity. Please if you want to join in the idiotic bashing of Ndiigbo, it will be a honorable endeavor to uncover your expendable ethnicity. I guess you realized there are certain ethnic groups in southern Nigeria that do not deserved to be mentioned in discussion that involve Igbo. By the way, you are entitled to dislike your empty self.

tiger28:
What is this Biafran talking about? The West just wanted a change from an inept and clueless presidency. We don't vote on sentiments even Obasanjo lost an election in his own ward. We only demand for good governance. ...end of story!

It seems there is a section of Nigeria overfilled with moronic dingbats.

wirinet:
I think Nigeria would survive a second war, just like it survived the first one. In fact I think Nigeria would eventually come out stronger after a second war just like Europe became stronger after the second world war. This is because there would be only one common enemy just like the first time.

Yes there are issues between the two other major tribes and minority tribes but the Hausa/Fulanis are masters of political compromise and diplomacy. I am sure they would negotiate and compromise (and even bribe) the oil producing minorities for support against the successionists. What will the successionists offer the oil producing minorities?

Even the international dynamics would still be the same as the first time. UK, france, EU, and most AU members would still support Nigeria, not to talk of the Arab League. China and Russia would use the situation as a bargaining chip against the US as they did in Iraq, Libya and Sudan. A food blockage would still cause massive starvation as the south east do not produce enough food to feed its population.

Nigeria has not fully recovered from the first civil war. The anemic picture of today's Nigeria is due to the civil war. The intended second civil war will validated the first civil war.

harde2lah:
Who cares? When you're ready to start the war, bring it on. We will be glad to smash your Biafra into smithereens once again. I hope Nmadifool will not run away just like ojuukuu

You have written like a glorified dumbass drunk.

Okijajuju1:
I was on a drive back from Aba yesterday with my Mum when the conversation we were having led to the mention of this Radio Biafra which is currently airing on FM 102.1 in most South South and South Eastern states. Last time I heard of this Radio Biafra, it was an Internet radio station that didn't have that much of a following to warrant any real concerns, however I was shocked to find out that they were now a terrestrial radio station with a Frequency Modular bandwidth. Anyways, I tuned in out of curiosity to find out what they were all about and that was when the hair on the back of my neck stood. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

For the entire period I was tuned into the station, it was back to back tirades against the current Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, raw undiluted anti-Semitic messages targeted mostly at the Yorubas, calls for the destruction of all Deeperlife Church posters, billboards and the burning and destruction of all Deeperlife churches in Aba and all Igbo Land, the stopping of any Deeperlife crusade from holding in Aba, calls for the Igbos to arm themselves pending when he (Nnamdi Kanu who was being referred to as director) would give the clarion call for the war to commence, calls for Igbos and the supporters of the Biafran cause to join their local chapter and contribute money to him (Nnamdi) to purchase arms to prosecute a war against the Government of Nigeria. The Nnamdi character freely spewed hate for Yorubas and Hausas, referred to Nigeria as a Zoo that they would destroy, e.t.c

At first, I just felt that this was a case of a Lunatic who seems to have found his way into a radio station, but my fears didn't rise until I heard the calls coming into the station from his growing followers. One of such callers actually said Hello Director, If Kumuyi steps into Aba, I WILL KILL HIM". Another caller said he was a technician of sorts and was willing to offer his services to help build a bomb to destroy Nigeria and the Nnamdi character took his number and promised to get in touch with him. The calls kept coming in and it was just caller after caller pledging support for the cause of this deranged man. It didn't matter that the Nnamdi Character sounded rude, arrogant and full of himself and obviously had a thirst for power, it didn't matter that he was insulting and disrespecting most of the callers who dialed in, more people kept calling.

Now my reason for starting this thread is to use this medium to bring the attention of the Government to the birth of a New Terrorist group in the South East.. I couldn't help but remember that this was exactly how the Boko Haram menace started, First it was just an Islamic preacher who was also doing Charity works and feeding his followers, then it grew into a militia that has cause the death of over 15,000 Nigerians and counting. Please those with the right connect should inform our security agencies. Whilst listening, most of the callers were reading out their phone numbers over the air and I was wondering if someone is noting down these numbers and placing taps on them and placing the owners on the terrorist watch list.

I would be honest and say that this Biafra Radio broadcast really troubled me. One of our workers who is a listener and was a follower only changed his views after I managed to explain to him the implications of what this Nnamdi Character was soliciting. The Nnamdi fellow is not hard to catch, below is a picture of him I pulled off of the Internet. And it seems he freely enters and leaves Nigeria as he pleases.

https://biafranchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Nnamdi-anu.jpg

I really hope someone in a position of authority hears this message and acts on it fast before things get to the point where we now have to start doing damage control at which point many innocent lives would have been lost. Let's use the Lessons learnt from the Boko Haram case and the arrest and murder of Mohammed Yussuf to find a way of finding, arresting and shutting down this Terrorist Group. Today we may think it's just a radio broadcast, but if half the callers I heard were not just blowing hot. Air, then we must take this threat to National peace seriously.

A stitch in time Saves nine.

Okija-Juju _{The Gods are Wise....}

If you had shown this silly concerns on the issues surrounding Boko Haram which kills, maims and bombs the crap out of Nigerians and Nigeria, the ranting of a madman as you termed it would not have been a subject of discussion.

VirginFinder:
You are a confirmed dullard!
The position of Chief Whip has been reserved for the SW.

Also, the HoR may not be able to sit successfully if Gbaja is not given the position of house leader.

Mind you, Tinubu's loss is NOT equivalent to Yorubas' loss.
Isnt Saraki Yoruba himself?

You are worse than a distinguish dullard. In APC, no position is zoned or reserved.

Banter1:
Saraki has betrayed us all.

You and APC betrayed Nigerians by allowing a scumbag such as Ndume, a Boko Haram supporter, to contest electoral officer under the banner of APC. By the way, if you are supporter of APC, you are equally a Boko Haram patron.

NgeneUkwenu:
Eze, You Don't Prevent Sinners From Coming To Church But You Don't Allow Them Inside The Pulpit Until They Are Sanctified!

Since Sinners are not prevented from coming Church, I suggest you hold your peace on the sinner's intention to mount the pulpit.

The above equation is a childish application of numbers.

Demdem:

The fraud was shamelessly dealt with and when it matters the most, the greedy leader fled.

The light of Africa was fraudulently dealt with by bunch of backstabbing Osaka swine.

Iko5000:
what is it please ?

Please contact the indigenes of Eleme and the surprise shall be yours.

Duara Dullard is riding on the empty promises from the European and American countries. These people will not allow the dumbass Africans to win ordinary soccer game but the dullards expect European and American con artists to make them economically viable. What a jackass.

What more than fight could have been expected from the groups of charlatans and evil axis that plunged Nigeria into a civil war? Whenever southwestern and northern regions of Nigeria formed unholy alliance, the political horizon is filled with chaos.

Demdem:

Ur biafran empire is a figment of ur warped imagination.
U fools claim biafran lands cuts across Nigeria, Cameroon, equitorial guinea, garbon, sou tome and precede showcasing useless maps.......Utter nonsense.
All these articles flying around are all lies and nothing more.
When u can not get an inch of land from ikweres or Animal showing longthroat at all other lands in Africa.
Cure ursef from these lies Goon.

If Biafra empire is a figment of warped imagination, your forbearers who fought Biafra were larger figments of deluded imagination.

StOla:
And for all Obasanjo's efforts towards the Igbos, do they love him today now that he is no longer in power to give them appointments?

You are naïve and ill-educated. Yoruba rejected their son when Obasanjo ran for presidency of Nigeria. But when he won, he became the son of the soil to ever turncoat Yoruba.

If this story is slightly true, I say this is biggest political or social blunder anybody from Akwa Ibom has committed. Obasanjo does not feel happy when anything is going well in Nigeria outside Yoruba land.
