This why we are not developing in Africa!!!

Even trees are sacred.

Quite the opposite!

Tree transplanting. It's a thing. You're welcome.

EvilMetahuman:
so, a senator representing his people is not speaking for his people again?

Choii
Who go con speak for urhobos then, if their senator doesn't count?

why are igbos this desperate to annex south south self?

It's not Igbo, it's the dumb IPOB members.

An Igbo republic is truly what the Igbo want, if someone can push that they'd get so much more open support.

fortress100:
I don't know what you people are arguing. abia state has unfettered access to the Atlantic ocean. river imo and river Aba provides this access. abia state is currently planning a seaport.

make una rest the matter.

Abia state can only have a river port.

every yoruba man is changing their moniker to igbo name
which one be ezeagu again
biafra is an ideology propaganda will only make it more popular

Just look at this. This is the kind of reasoning that's being encountered.

We can see that Benue elements are fine with being Arewa.

Milonis:
In other words there's a lot of home work yet to be done and must be done by the Igbo nation?

Yes.

Every powerful country on earth is based on strong ideals and a culture, this is what brings the people together to work towards a mutual cause. When large parts of a country do no work together, then you cannot say that there is one nation, a nation is a family, a nation is the understanding that everyone either came from the same source and/or have come together to reach the same goal.

IPOB is obviously the spearhead of the revitalised neo-Biafra movement and are at the forefront of shaping the proposed Biafra and presenting this proposal to the world. There are many things they've gotten wrong, and many people in the core areas of what would be Biafra (the SE) have doubts on the ability of IPOB to lead such a movement, one of the main things they haven't got right is maintaining a clear message as to what Biafra actually is. Nobody knows where Biafra starts or ends, there are a myriad of maps and state and town lists of the proposed Biafra that say different things regarding where Biafra actually is, the most ridiculous maps, spurred on by Nnamdi Kanu's equally ridiculous proclamation that Biafra consists of all the southern Nigerian ethnic groups whose names begin with 'I' and who tie double wrapper, has included areas as far north as Kogi and Benue and as far west as Itsekiriland and Warri. To make this short, Biafra is primarily an Igbo agitation, the main hotspots for the agitation are all Igbo, the main people you see online are all Igbo, but the IPOB-led movement in their quest to follow a fantasy of recreating the old East with random surrounding groups, completely reject to acknowledge that this is in fact an Igbo agitation. The anti-Igbo or even anti-East sentiments they complain about even can be found among other groups of the old East. This just makes it look like Biafra is an Igbo land and resource grab which just legitimises the idea of the threat of Igbo domination.

There are several independence movements across the world, none of them are ambiguous like this IPOB-led Biafra movement, they are mainly centred on a nationality or a cultural group who already live in a distinct region of the country, for example Catalonia is inhabited by the Catalans and Catalonia is already an autonomous region of Spain whose borders are formed already. Tibet is also an autonomous region of China, the countries broken from Yugoslavia were federal units and for the most part have held their borders from then. On the other hand, look at a country Broken up by broad parameters, South Sudan.

Ignoring the fact that the Igbo are on their own is silly. With an Igbo country you do not have to step on anyones toes, you already have a nation, Nigeria is already split by LGA which are roughly ethnic units, so the SE plus Igbo LGA's outside of the SE are easily distinguished. All the energy invested in pretending Warri is part of Biafra could have been put into unifying Igbo land or even Igbo-speaking people (which includes those at the coast), because Igbo as a nation isn't even solidly together outside of the SE, let alone a fantasy Biafra, you could even completely have one language and national holidays, festivals, etc, without stepping on other toes. There is also the power of clearly stating that the secession is for a distinct people, this is why the world understood Biafra as Igbo then and now even though there are several other ethnic groups back then and proposed now in Biafra, it is because the world understands the need for a distinct nation to have its own autonomy, not for a distinct nation to be begging other distinct nations to play baby sitter.

I hope more of such people come out and stop these stupid fantasies.

Xkalaban:
No that's a different case. I mean the ones that are actually guilty. I don't support lynching of the innocent either, but the ones that perpetrate evil deserve hell in every sense of it.

How would one know the difference without a trial. That's why there are courts.

Xkalaban:
U'd never understand till u find urself face to face with a desperate criminal pointing a luga in ur face. I've experienced it quite a few times and I tell u, it ain't pretty. They're all cursed to live & die shamefully & karma shall never sieze to catch up with them. Shekina!!!

And the hundreds of innocent people who die from misplaced mob justice kwanu?

This was a quality thread (even with the fools), even if I say so myself.

Boring platitudes.

fpeter:
freshness! but why would i give thanks to a river goddess...when God is the Creator of the lake and fishes therein?

Stick to your bible/quran, allow them their river goddess. It's not by force.

Nothing directly to do with this topic, but I don't understand how an African/black person can be Anglican, AKA English Church, in the 21st century. Pure slavery.

Basildvalour:
Anybody who killed this snake is just so wicked. The way it was smashed would tell you that.

I would usually agree, but this looks like it is a very deadly snake.

Geneadams:
keep quiet jare, were in the world has a higher obesity count than the 'west' is to be talking ignorantly and misinformed'ly'

I'll blame your attitude on the plastic rice pigeon corn beef.

Nigerian rich people always out of shape and unhealthy looking why? No discipline. When westerners get money they do everything to prolong life and improve health. Nigerians just consume, consume, consume.

£1 is too much.

Everyone talking about "until" until", keep waiting. You live in a hell hole, when will you get it?

China is a nation, Nigeria is a country with nations at loggerheads.

bounty007:
which day has the ipob ever in this world disturb ijaws, or any iteskiri abi urhrbo?

you guysare not just misinformed..and displaying your olodoness

What on earth are you talking about? Was it not Nnamdi Kanu that was saying every group with I in their name will be part of Biafra including Igede, Idoma and Igala? I think you should research what you're actually following.

@Udmaster the majority of IPOB are followers who aren't really questioning anything, so you'll get nowhere asking a basic question like this. You will get a circular argument or accusations, people shouting "Afonja" "Afonja" up and down and cursing you by Chukwu Abiama which they do not know is a shrine. There are many Igbo people like you who are smart enough to have spotted a pattern in eastern Nigeria, and that is how an average non-Igbo easterner sees an Igbo is simply no different to how any other part of the country sees an Igbo person. It's this Igbo speaking for easterners nonsense that really dealt Biafra a death blow in the past as the country turned on itself. The truth is at this point in Igbo history, a multi-ethnic nation outside of Nigeria shouldn't even be entertained let alone begged for, but there are no true leaders left in Igbo land.

Onye nwere uche, ya nu.

shamiraaa:
sorry but Igbo and Yoruba people when it comes to A.A. root today, can be count in the fingers of an human hands. celebrities for the most.
even if they were more or less the majority of people taken from Africa back then, according to the studies, about 40% finished in the bottom on the deep sea. as they were so rebellious in the ship, undisciplined, they were the one to pay the biggest prize for conspiracy to take over the ship during the crossing, were so suicidal, they took any chance they had. they faked lot of illness and were sank into the sea. they were the most to be hunted down and killed after running from their master once in the farm. that explains why just a few survived the task to raise a family. may they soul rest in peace.

the schooling still free of all charges.

How are you going to even attempt to insult a group of people with such shit grammar?

After all this gra gra these northern "conservatives" still dive inside southern ashawo poontang. Biggest hypocrites in Africa.

Where else but Akwa Ibom.

Officialkplus:
Why are you always projecting Africa has a stone age nation Smh...

You are making white mock us even more

'Ow is it possible you are writing with a "h factor"?

Only billionaires daughters can afford to do masters of art.

Another my bush is better than your bush thread.

Very Christian response, right? Oh, the irony.

This woman overlooked the supply of arms to fight Biafra. Just a thought for oyibo lovers.
