Igbo case is like a wife that used to threatening her husband with divorce everyday until husband asked her to park out and wife says my Children are young. The woman shakara ends the day she refused to park out.

As I'm typing now the man opposing him has been disqualified....

No you got it wrong . Constitution does not give for such.

You pretend as if you don't understand Nigerian politics

Aburi001:
Bros, you go school at all?

Is Senate now a family affair thing?

Ok school me na.
Don't tell me Nigerian politics is not family affair even all around the world. How did yar adua become president if not by compensation.

I can't help but attack an opinion from a messenger dat is rather sounding insane... What is the essence of a referandum for Biafra dat includes other region? If it fail to go through they will protest that the other regions interfered

Allow them to decide their fate

Whether biafra stays or leaves this time around is not only your fate as long as you refuse to keep shut. we are ready to force you to realize your biafra dream even if you vote to stay and refuse to keep shut.

I give them my vote to go anytime but it appears they have turned to Mario because of their asset in the foreign lands

They should just allow the man to complete his brother term unopposed, that' s a better gift Aregbe can give Adeleke's family and not raise another opposition against the young man for the position that won't last up to 2years

Yes there is no gainsaying that agitation for the creation of Biafra is gaining momentum daily and there is no doubt that soon or later there may be referendum to determine whether to have Biafra or not.
Going by current circumstances and reactions that follows Northern youth quit notice to the Igbos, It appears obvious that Biafra might be difficult to achieve and the 'marginalization' might continue in the future as Biafrans have created enough enemies for themselves already.

In my opinion, Any referendum that does not allow all Nigerians to determine whether Igbo stays or leaves is not acceptable. In the interest of Justice and fairness, It is very proper at this juncture to allow all Nigerians to have a say in this referendum as we are all stakeholders because whether Igbo stays or leaves it affects every Nigerians.

Every region is rich and heaven will not fall if southerners leave the place. We will all miss each other and move on

This outcome reflects the state our nation 0 - 2

Before the ultimatum, ipob have been a threat to national unity, they called Nigeria several names like
Lord lugard cage, zoo, British estate, e.t.c

They shout at the top of their voices "BIAFRA OR DEATH"!!! BIAFRA OR DEÄTH!!!
Ipob believe North are holding them down from achieving their dream country.
The curse everybody that oppose their opinion,they reign curses on Yoruba's and Hausa's.
They call Yoruba's slaves to the north, while Hausa's re animals that re swimming in abject poverty and their land is full of backwardness.
They also unleashes series of propaganda to cause
panic and attract foreign sympathy for self.
determination.

Like trump will give us Biafra
Putin has promised to bomb Nigeria
Nethanyu warned bihari to let the Israelites go.

They even conduct an early morning jugging in support of trump.
To cut the stories short Their madness started
immediately Gej lost election.federal govt have administered so many drugs to cure their madness but all their efforts was in futility .
Until Kaduna 2017 declarations effectively cure ipob madness within 24hrs.

Their reasoning started changing like, we want to go in peace, north should support refrendum for igbos.
North should give us time to move out.
We will not leave north ,we re ready for war.
Their leaders that went AWOL came back to live they started sending emissaries to northern leaders, they cry to DSS,police, and security personnel's to come to their aid.
Now they don't want Biafra again what they need is referendum and dialogue .

It is obvious now the whole agitations is a pure SCAM to destabilise the present administration because their hero lost election at the polls

Tirigbosa for you. Let my people go refuse to go. Waiting for Daura secret service to arrest the Arewa youth that ask you to go

Ethnic Cleansing is when you try to kill or evict members of an ethnic group because of their ethnicity. since 2008, the International Criminal Court (ICJ) has classified it as a Crime Against Humanity and punishes people who try it.  When some Hutus ethnically cleansed Tutsis in Rwanda, they were rounded up and prosecuted in ICJ. When Nigerian Government almost refused to handover Charles Taylor to International Criminal Court, do you remember what almost happened?

Anyone who thinks they can repeat 1966 in 2017 should forget it, because now the Igbos have the international presence (they are all over the world in large numbers) and social media power to get and hold the world’s attention if we are pushed to do so. Believe me, if we begin protest from Washington DC, to London, to New York, to Paris, to the doorsteps of the ICJ at the Hague itself, the world will not ignore us.Look at our Facebook, Nairaland, Twitter, blog, Whatsapp activists and their reach and abillity to stop fight unjust government policies to a standstill and fight anti-Igboism.

Look at our fearless lawyers, human rights activists, journalists and cultural champions spread all over the world and constantly interconnected – constantly checking to see that everything is allright. Which world leader has not heard of the fearless Ndigbo? If we speak the truth to them, they will listen to us, both those that like us and those that hate us.In 1966 we didn’t have international spread and social media power.

In 2017 we do. So, don’t try US unless you want to relocate to Hague. There is no country you cannot find the Igbo in today, and we therefore have the power to harness public opinion, and no Western politician can ignore public opinion when it is so glaring.

Today the Igbo protest in front of courts, on the streets, in front of embassies and everywhere if they feel they are being shortchanged, and judges know they have our backing to do the right thing even when governments may oppose what they want to do.

You want to stop Igbos from remaining in Nigeria. Where you when Nnamdi Azikiwe was building Nigeria? You want to stop Igbos from legally agitating for Biafra, who told you you can deny them their rights to agitate legally for Biafra?

So, let there be peace not violence. Everybody loses from violence. But when people discuss in peace, they can achieve much.

It is suicidal to rely on toothless ICC. They won't help in anyway

Fayose! Pride will destroy you. You can't beat OBJ record. If Obj did go to prison he would not have being president. Keep mocking the man that went to prison in order to be celebrated.
Let see what you will become or be when you clock OBJ present age with this pride

The yoruba leaders value their lives and are ready to receive them unlike people who are waiting for northern leaders to approve the quit notice.

If we need $1.2b to repair 3 refineries that worked the following month PMB got into office, how much do we need to build new ones. This sounds illogical and thieving.

According to Ibe Kachikwu, The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, has stated that Nigeria needs about $1.2 billion to repair the three refineries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

On Thursday, at a news briefing in Abuja, The minister, said reports of the concession of Port Harcourt refinery to Oando and Agip companies were untrue.

He further said that a technical committee set up by the government to undertake the review and selection process was yet to submit its report.

“We have not selected any firm yet even though some firms have shown interests.

“We need about 1.2 billion dollars to repair and bring the three refineries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna, up to 100 percent production level”, he said.

Kachikwu added that the cost of the project had been determined in terms of the extent of work required.

“The total cumulative amount is in the 1.1 billion dollars and 1.2 billion dollars category between all the refineries. And that, of course, does not include the pipelines.

“You have got to address the pipelines and that is something else that is being done”, he noted.

He explained that Nigeria spent about N4.74 trillion on the importation of petrol in the past year which was 30 percent of the total foreign exchange outlay of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

“The importation of petroleum products between January and December of last year amounted to about 20 million metric tonnes.

“A total amount of N3.4 trillion was spent, the consumption of FX from CBN was approximately 30 percent of CBN total FX outlay, and the logistic costs of that importation was about N1.34 trillion within the same one-year period”‎, he added.

"Igbo should make use of this opportunity and have their country/Biafra, because failure to achieve it now after they have created more than enough enemies for themselves will not allow them to taste power in Nigeria for centuries " PETERU

Shame!!!! Shame!!!!

Fremancipation:
Ojukwu was right when he said they were ready to repel Nigerian attack in the beginning of the war BUT he never factored in that the British, soviet union, and some Arab states will join in the fight.

He thought the fight was going to be between Biafra and Nigeria.

I guess Biafrans have factored all indices now so that your incoming generation won't tell this same story

No matter your population in other region you cant win a war against your host.

venai:
We refuse to quiet until...

Until you got killed or what?

Arewa youth has tabled two options for igbos as regards their biafra agitation. Quit or Quiet

Amarabae:
and you think Lagos IGR will remain the same if Igbos vacate Lagos?
The Port in Lagos, who controls the importation there? Huh? The Markets and investments, where will the tax come from again? Hahahaha.
Even Tinubu can't make this comment you just made.
He knows what is at stake.
Go and prepare for your neco gce, boy and drop mummy's phone.

Little Girl! Stop blackmailing the yoruba with your so called tax and investment in yoruba land. How stupiid can you guys be for paying tax in yoruba land and refuse to pay in it your region. Take that investment into your region and pay the tax there

Any Yoruba person that marries igbo cannot speak for the Yoruba on this very important issue . Mr Yinka was right to a little extent but we need pure yoruba . The like of FFK ,Yinka and the likes should watch as we send igbos out of yoruba land at the appropriate time.

zionmade1:
Thank God i will be alive to see biafra become a reality peacefully.
To see igbos come back home and in one mind raise our nation biafra to a great heights. A country born out of love and unity, the sun will rise again. What a beautiful country my Biafra would be,
A country where hardwork would be appreciated
A country of people with one mind
A country where technology would be a major export
A country whose currency would be sort world wide
A country free of terrorism
A country free of paedophiles
A country free of betrayers and hate filled razor bladed damaged face wole wole beings.

Come home biafrans, we will stand and build our nation to d envy of the whole world

I thought a lot of igbos viewing this top will click like on your post but guess what. They are very panic with this news because we all know they don't really want Biafra but Power to rule Nigeria....

Once they sale beers you guys should be ok now . No be to high?

With this giant steps Biafra will surely come. Let all the political appointees of the FG emulate this ,follow by the immediate exodus of igbos from non SE region of the country.

Members of the House of Representatives,

Lawmakers from the south-east region have
reportedly boycotted plenary session in the
House of Representative on Tuesday, June 6,
in what appeared as a protest move following
the rejection of a bill for an Act seeking to
establish the South East Development
Commission.


NAIJ.com recalls that members of the House
of Representatives, mainly from the South-
East, on Thursday, June 1, protested in the
House following the defeat of a bill seeking
to create a South-East Development
Commission.

Political analysts and observers had blamed
the defeat of the bill to the absenteeism of
south-east lawmakers who could only muster
the presence of 18 out of the 43 members
from the region on the day the bill was
rejected by majority voice vote, Daily
Independent reports.

The newspaper stated that the boycott by the
lawmakers was unclear as at press time due
speculations of an ongoing caucus meeting at
an undisclosed location.


Meanwhile, member of the House of
Representatives Goodluck Opiah has
expressed sadness and frustration at the
rejection of the bill proposing the
establishment of a South-East Development
Commission, during its first reading.
In a recent interview with Daily Post, Opiah,
representing Ohaji/Egbema/Oguta/Oru West
federal constituency of Imo state, disclosed
that the bill was rejected due to a gang up by
northern lawmakers who opposed to its
passage.

He stated that there was a calculated attempt
to marginalize people from the south east.
