Needless opinion, whether it is a fruitless one or not, real change will come, either Nigeria gets restructured for good, or total dissolution.
So you can test the dividends of good governance that takes care of grassroot development, instead of "News Time" developmental projects that the funds get embezzled half way through.

miqos02:


this guy is a disgrace to educated easterners

No the guy is saying the truth, must our all and all be "2x2" shops and maybe hit it big, gbaa China, Hong kong, Taiwan, tuo Malay.

We have other dreams, nothing is working, other people get chances to work at multinationals, government agencies, easterners are confined with buying and selling and our whole life just depends on it.


The truth has to be told, buying and selling is good all the same, but not everyone has that dream, for how long are we gonna always take care of things ourselves, fix our roads, build community schools, fix our own poles, fix wires, buy transformer, pay Power company to fix it, work our ars.es off and send our kids to highest level of education.

It seems like as if you know you can't aspire for other things if you an Easterner, Nigeria has failed us. She has, it it time to shift back a little, go thru other route of self-governance to see if we can realize our full potentials.

We do everything ourselves, while others get help from government, and at the end of the day, instead of giving praise and accolades when do, we receive hate and scorn, jests, more jests and more insulting speech to our people.

It is well.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in southeast Nigeria on Wednesday to demand the release of an activist who operated an illegal radio station calling for a separate state of Biafra.

The demonstration in Aba was the latest by separatist groups on an issue that has again exposed deep and longstanding ethnic fault lines in Africa's most populous nation.

A previous unilateral declaration of an independent Republic of Biafra in 1967 led to a brutal civil war that left more than one million dead in nearly three years of fighting.

In Aba, the commercial hub of Abia state, some 2,000 people carried placards with slogans such as "Biafra or death" and waved the Biafran flag -- a golden rising sun on red, black and green.

Others wore t-shirts and caps with the image of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) pressure group.

Some sang freedom songs and carried the outlawed Biafran pound currency.

"Getting our leader out of detention is our immediate concern but ultimately we want to be free from Nigeria," IPOB's Abia coordinator, Ikechukwu Ugwuoha, told the crowds.

"We are tired of this forced marriage imposed on us in 1914 by the British colonial authorities. We don't want anything to do with Nigeria again because we have not benefited from Nigeria."

- Criminal conspiracy -

Radio Biafra was taken off air in July this year after the government accused it of being a "seditious pirate radio station" which broadcast "unsavoury hate messages".

Kanu was arrested last month and charged with criminal conspiracy, membership of an unlawful society and criminal intimidation.

A judge in Abuja on Wednesday ordered Nigeria's secret police to produce him in court next Monday.

Tension has been building since Kanu's detention, culminating in demonstrations in major southeastern cities and fears of a crackdown against protesters.

In Port Harcourt last week, police fired shots in the air and teargas to disperse hundreds of pro-Biafra supporters.

The Aba demonstration came after a planned blockade of the Niger Bridge on Tuesday was cancelled because of warnings from security personnel.

The bridge crossing the River Niger which links the southeast with the rest of Nigeria was the de facto border during the civil war.

Pro-Biafran sentiment has persisted among the dominant Igbo people in southeast Nigeria because of perceptions they have been punished for breaking away.

But the man who led Biafra during the civil war, Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, warned against a second bid for secession in an interview before his death in 2012.

Nigeria's military ruler at the time of the civil war, Yakubu Gowon, last month said he recognised people's right to protest but the concept of Biafra was "finished".

"I don't think it (the increased pro-Biafran sentiment) is any threat," he told Nigeria's Channels television on October 23.

"If there is anything of this sort, anywhere in any part of the country, just like the problem of Boko Haram, we, Nigeria, should deal with it in a mature way."

- 'No going back' -

On the streets, however, there was defiance. IPOB member Jude Chukwu Akiaba tore apart the green and white Nigerian tricolour, calling the country "dead and buried".

"The Nigerian government has neglected the Igbos for long," the group's women's leader, Uzor Amaka, told AFP. "There are no social amenities like roads, electricity, hospitals and jobs in the east.

"Our people are still being made to suffer for the civil war. So, it is better to call it quits with Nigeria and put our destiny in our hands."

Osmond Lekwauwa said he was ready to die for the cause.

"What's the point of belonging to a nation where you cannot have basic necessities like good roads, water, electricity and jobs?" he asked.

"I left school (university) six years ago and have not been able to secure a paid employment. I have been doing menial jobs to survive. At 32, I cannot even raise a family.

"I will rather die being a Biafran than to remain in Nigeria," he said, urging local political leaders to back their campaign.

"There is no going back on the struggle," he added.

You dont need to tell me about the port area, im an Ikwerre guy, its something im well aware of...My main concern is to see if Amaechi as minister of Transport can make that port viable again.

Theres also another mini port that can be expanded.it is owned by Saipem in Rumuolumeni area of Obio/Akpor LGA.

Before anyone gets carried away, im not in support of Biafra.

Can you Biafrans leave us alone.
Unlike you guys, we don't blame others for our problems.

It is not the northerners that told Ibori, Uduaghan, Odili, Amaechi, Alams, GEJ and the likes not to build a seaport. Fashola got tired of the one at Apapa and decided to build his own.

Rumour has it that Bayelsa has no drinking water, was it the north that stopped the governors from providing water?

GEJ was vice President and President of Nigeria, yet he could not clean up Ogoni and some idiots are blaming another man for their problems?

Those of us from the south south will deal with our problems in our own way, we are not cowards, we do not blame others for our problems.

PS: I am from Aniocha North in Delta state so don't even think of saying the igboid groups are part of Biafra.

Hahahah

you don't know who owns Nigeria, boy, you don't

You can never protest since your peeps occupy most top post during that regime, we know your game and antics, only the dummy will fall for all this yeebhoe holier than thou attitude.

We aren't protesting because it is Buhari, we are protesting because he is unlawfully holding our leader even after being fulfilling his bail termsn under a competent court of justice.

For core Biafrans like me, I never voted, and hundreds of thousands of us who heeded to the advice on Radio Biafra boycotted the elections, during the election time, the popular phrase u will hear over here is "Boycott the election".

I didn't vote, never liked GEJ, do not like Buhari, hate Nigerian politics...

Buhari should just do his things, release our leader and preside over Nigeria as we pursue on our quest to extricate our land from Nigeria.


By the Buhari didn't spend up to a week in office and make Radio Biafra more popular than it is, hey not my fault. undecided undecided

if you find any that proudly call themselves Igbo and you can confirm that they are glad to be associated with the typical south eastern Igbo....then good for them...if they choose to, they can be part of the agitation.


Even if all the igboid tribes in the SS decide to join Biafra, without the minorities, I'm pretty sure Biafra will still be land locked. Not proud to say this, but its just what it is..........

I really wish the Igbo region was not landlocked so the Igbo's can just cut out of Nigeria and let this entire issue rest.


Well, the people who aren't landlocked gradually sold their rights off to others, in order to spite their immediate neighbours

Well 'yeebhoes' were silent, but Igbos weren't silent, which is why we cried to GEJ to revive the seaports and also dredge Niger river at Onitsha for small ships to berth there.
