deedeedee1: You are a funny man. You want them to go without referendum. Which kind ode you be? How can you tell them to go to their land without having a referendum? How will that assure them that niger-area will not bring fight to them? You must support referendum if truly you want them to leave the country, not telling them to pack their load. If their is referedum in the constitution, then i will support you if you want to deport them back to their land, but if you dont support referendum, then you dont want them to go. Let me make this clear. I am not igbo but a full blooded yoruba man and i want nigeria to separate. Let there be referendum! It is high time we had one! Se you get?
Chia what is wrong with this ipob people ....
The so called sophisticated people have clearly lost their sophistication.....
According to you hausas and yorubas are responsible for organizing and conducting referendum for you.......
You have 15 senators in the SE how many of them have made your case in the senate......
Your have members of the house of reps how many of them have made your case in the house.........
You have governors, lga chairmen, councillors, and high ranking FG workers how many of them have made your case...........
You want the northerners and yorubas to approve something you did not propose.........
How on earth can someone approve a proposal that has not yet been proposed.......
Or you want the reps and senate of the north and west to make proposal for you and approve it themselves.........
When scotland wanted a referendum it was the scottish mps(precisely Nichola sturgeon) that made the proposal in the british parliament not the british mps.......
Now the Scots want another referendum due to brexit and still it was the scottish mps that are making the case in the parliament.........
And I promise you if the role where reversed and the hausas or the yorubas where the one looking for a referendum it would have been over long ago
That's why everyone is saying the ipobs and their igbo sponsors, and supporters, are a bunch of clueless, jobless, illiterate, and honestly very stupid and foolish bunch of people..........
You want Biafra. They chase you out of Nigeria. Instead of siezing the opportunity to go back home enmass, you say you are not going anywhere. I expect great jubilation and joyous celebrations. I expect mass movement. I expect the Ghana Must Go scene which I witnessed. Truck loads of Ghanaians, moving out. With Jute bags which became nicknamed "Ghana-Must-Go" bag.
If you want Biafra all you need do is go back to the East enmass. Refuse to trade with Nigeria. Refuse to have anything to do with Nigeria. When you are going back, no policeman or soldier will say "why are you travelling"? Freedom of movement to your states of origin is a fundamental Human Right. In my opinion. No one is holding you back but yourselves.
It doesn't even matter if a few of your elders are in the service of Nigeria as appointees etc. Ignore them. Build your Biafra, when it is as rossy as you claim it will be, they will have no choice but to go back to their dear Biafra.
So for all intents and purposes, this is the opportunity you have been praying for. Leave the North. Go back home. Build your utopia. Boycott everything Nigerian. Biafra is being given to you on a platter of gold. Your leaders are saying they are not going anywhere and daring the North to attack them. Be united in purpose and be ready to go through the "pain" and "surgery" of achieving a good and perfect Biafra. This pain will involve leaving your businesses, property, etc. But it is for a good cause. Child bearing comes with some pain. The birthing of Biafra will not come without sacrifices.
Nnamdi Kanu says Nigeria will beg Biafra to go. The North has told you to go. So take the opputunity to do so. If Nigeria does not let you leave you will blame all your troubles on Nigeria. It is for this reason alone, that I support Biafra. Everyone needs the opportunity to take the chance and go the distance. So sieze the chance. You have been given till October. The distance between the major parts of the North and the East is generally less than 24 hours by road. I should expect a great jubilation when the North asked you to vacate without a gun shot. I expect a great exodus. Your leaders should come together and choose a course of action.
If you understand strategy you should take this golden opportunity. Pharaoh as asked the Jews to leave Egypt. What are the Jews still waiting for? They now refuse to go to the promised land. There is no red sea in this story. The promised land is known and available. No need for scouts and no need to traverse the deserts. Again I am expecting a great exodus. A huge one. When citizens of another country are not wanted anymore they are expelled. You are Biafrans and Nigeria has expelled you. So go back to your Biafra and gladly do so.
If this opportunity is not taken, then the Biafra matter is just that of a people trying to constitute a nuisance, disunited in purpose and annoyingly empty in character. Biafra has come, take it and stop the indecision. Stop worrying about what you will loose. These are necessary. South Sudan lost a lot after the referendum including the rights to pump it's oil through pipelines that go through Sudan to the export terminals. They had to negotiate the fees/cost of pumping South Sudan's Oil.The South Sudanese did not bother about their property in Khartoum. Theirs was even worse. They were never told to go, the way the North has peacefully ordered Biafrans to do. This is a once in a life time opputunity. Take it.
Do not start wondering what will happen to your investments. To your market of about 150 million Nigerians. Your perhaps about 40-60 million Biafrans are available (we do not know your true population figures). Trade with them and find new international trade partners. Do not start bothering about what will become of Lekki, or Festac, or Ikeja, or Ikorodu, or Abuja or other areas you "developed". In my opinion, only a foolish man develops another man's land and leaves his own and then he even boasts about this to the world about this great mistake and miscalculation. It is when you have developed yours to your satisfaction that you then extend your good developmental gestures to other "less fortunate people".
Unite in purpose. Buhari is not even in the country. Osinbanjo is more reasonable. Take the chance. Move ensmass. Exodus out of all parts of Nigeria. Move back home. Organize yourselves. Ignore everything in Nigeria. This opportunity will never come again. You are putting your hope in ICJ and UN etc. Time and time again, these organizations have stood by and watched endless massacre of innocent civilians. Syria, South Sudan, Rawanda, Angola, etc. Even the Nigeria/Biafra Civil War.
You claim you have all the businesses. You can cripple Nigeria. Nigeria is a zoo. Your footballers are the best. Your women are the best. You are the most industrous. You are the most brilliant. You are the most hard working. You are the most advanced. Your exodus alone should then help you win this agitation. So, cripple Nigeria by leaving. Destroy Nigeria by removing all your services. Obliterate Nigeria by withdrawing your elite. Stall Nigeria's evolution of her human gene pool by taking back your pretty light complexioned igbo girls. In fact go back home and lock your shops again. This time, lock them for good. It has come to you easier than you imagined. The next time you are coming to Nigeria, do so with the ECOWAS Passport or a Biafran passport. Pay the Nigerian Visa Fees and go through the process. Refuse to enter Nigeria WITHOUT a Visa. Yes, if Nigerians say come in, you say "no,that will be illegal since I am an allien. Could you please grant me papers"? If they refuse you go back to Biafra.
Someone talked about sharing what we have. Sharing what? When the jews left Egypt, did they ask Egyptians to share anything? They would not even want anything or property from the Egyptians. The South Sudanese left their property in Khartoum. Yes many had property. You are the biblical Lot's Wife. You leave but look back. You are a strange set of Jews who have been asked to vacate their own Egypt, yet you stay back and ask the Egyptians to share their property with you. The slavery then hasn't hit you hard.
Listen, the struggle has moved from opening propaganda channels and handles online and lying about how Asari supplied weapons to Nnamdi K a n u and how Donald Trump warned Buhari about Biafra. It is this same lies and fake propaganda that contributed to the loss of the Civil War. People hardly knew the facts from fiction and leaders couldn't make rational and calculated decisions. The struggle is now beyond propaganda my dear Biafrans. It has come and stares you in the face. It is real now and no more mere rantings on the internet and other forms/means of mass media and mass communication. Take it the opportunity. It has materialized.
BIAFRA HAS COME. TAKE IT!
No one has said it more beautifully...... God bless you and your family.... peace!!!
Biodun37: Don't mind them, for 6yrs when they held on to power, no claim of marginalization, no complaint at all; less than 6 months after the turn of the table, then come the sudden call for secession as if the whole country should always be @ their mercy. Go if u go go, no dey sout again abegi
Abeg all 4get dis grammar...... you say you want bifraud that the north is holding u back and the north say pack your kaya and go back to eldorado..... Now you r here blowing grammar.... did any northerner complain to u
Just kuku pack your kaya and go.... show us how serious u r
steppins: I pray the northerners resort to violence. They will make our case solid for us.
And I pray that you or your family will be victim to that violence ..... hiding in the safety of your room and calling for violence because of some misguided case.....
We don't have map... cos we don't need any map.... we are not the ones agitating for secession......... the northern Nigerian Map is Nigerian map minus SE....... or any other place that may or may not agitate for secession in the future......
realbest: If you said that you are tired of living in my own papa house because am illiterate, almajiri, parasite, under developed, and even a terrorist then it's fair if i beg you to pack your belongings back to your own papa house. Living together is not by force but by will . I beg you in the name of God, Allah, Obiama, Jehovah etc pack your belongings and move back to were you came from. Period.
My guy I tire for this people oooo.... Chai.....
(1)You people said you hate nigeria, and nigeria is a zoo and nigerians are cows and donkeys....
Nigerians say we agree we r donkeys and the feeling is mutual we hate you too.....
(2) you say you want biafra and that the north is a barren desert and we r almajiris
The north say you know what... you r right.... so please pack your load and go back to your eldorado....
Now you start crying foul shouting that the north is violent..... What exactly is violent about giving you what you want......
Just go please I take god beg you go please.....
If we learnt anything from this shananigans.... is that the majority of Igbo people including your government at all levels don't want biafara...... it's just a bunch frustrated agberos that are trying to cause problem for the hardworking igbos across nigeria
And this also shows that ipobs are learners two years insulting and issuing ultimatums and not a single Bleep was given...... but a bunch of jobless Arewa youth came out and issued a non violent ultimatum and suddenly past president, governors from all sides, even the freaking UN is trying to issue statement.....
APCsupporter: open I totally disagree with you. first of all you should ask yourself HOW MANY OF THEM ARE IN YOUR LAND COMPARED TO YOUR PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE? how much capital does one need to come back and continue those odd jobs here? your people here work in banks, schools, radio stations, refineries, hospitals, law firms, and many other places. some are doing businesses like cooking gas business, prostitution, fake products sales, vehicle parts sales, piracy, armed robbery, and so on. some of them don't have houses in their villages but own mansions here and what's worse? THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THEN HERE. imagine all of them being kicked back to the south east to start afresh and you are here comparing them with suya sellers. bro you have more to lose. there are graduates that can take care of the jobs they will leave behind and most of the igbos here are traders not entrepreneurs
This is why we say some igbos advocating for biafra are actually jobless people..... imagine this guy contradicting his fellow igbos..... when we have countless thread by igbos telling other tribes how they own everything from kano to kd to abuja...... And now same igbos are saying northerners will loose more how on earth is that true.... look I support the igbos right to self determination and I sincerely hope with the amount of hatred from both side that FG conduct a referendum for the igbos and let them go thier merry way...... Nigeria and igbos will be better for it cos no country can hope to develop with this kind of enmity between its citizens..... but I sincerely fear is for the millions of hardworking igbos around nigeria trying to make a living and all of a sudden they are asked leave all that behind..... just saying
Iceberg3: kano! Whoa! Well,dont get pissed when i say 'the north',we gotta tell ourselves the truth. The nation prospered under regionalism,it promotes hardword and competition amongst regions in the country. U know u dont have to run to abuja every other month ending to beg for and collect wha is rightfully and originally yours. States/regions cannot,never develop by waiting for and collecting monthly allocation/money frm the fg,they need to dig deep and invest,explore,manufacture,work on their own and make use of their own resources to live. That can only happen under a true federal style,administration of govt.
Why should I be offended...... the majority of the people the north are suffering only a handful few are enjoying the so called oil wealth...... the g7 countries with the exception of maybe Canada and russia are a net importer of oil ..... all I hope and suggest is for the government to pay atleast equal attention (as they did to the easy money making oil sector) to other regions in the areas where they have comparative advantage eg agriculture, mining, industry, commerce, ict and trade...if that is achieved seat back and watch nigeria become a true super power ........
vantage001: Have you ever heard of the french revolution? To make a better future for the next generation, you need to endure the hardship that will create a definite change. If you don't want to endure any form of hardship, then you children will suffer what you suffered.
I hope they don't Witness this kind of hardship...... but you must admit It won't be easy... should nigeria disintegrate they will be an exodus of monumental proportion from different part of the country.. naija will make India and Pakistan look like a child's play...
Iceberg3: gonna be a huge relief and far better than the current cesspool of a junk,where things hardly work and dreams killed sorry. Buh can u imagine someone with a 330 jamb score denied admission to study medicine? Happened to my sis in uniben. If she were elsewhere in the north,the story wudda bn different. If the north keep saying no to true federalism,no to total restructuring,no to resource control,no to sovereign national conference,then i am afraid,its to your tents,oh israel. Again,sorry.
Where u from?
Am from kano.... the truth is no one is benefiting from the present day nigeria... atleast not the masses... And I believe in regional government system cos nigeria is truly blessed beyond imagination.... no region will suffer if the resources in all regions are properly harnessed...... And sorry for your sister another victim of the Nigerian system....
vantage001: Yes, A very bleak day for the corrupt elite.
Elites will suffer no doubt but ordinary citizens will suffer too..... I mean after all your hustle to acquire and build either a home or business, just one day you are told leave all that behind........
donestk: Regional govts will absorb federal assets.
Private individuals will loose value for their real assets.
Mehn this will be a very bleak day for many private nigerians especially the types of dangote, oil and gas tycoons, home and small business owners across nigeria....
Iceberg3: Op, go and read about the country formerly called CHZECKOSLOVAKIA
I knew a little about czechoslovakia, but the nigeria issue is too complicated mehn....... it's not about breaking into two countries ..... with the high number of ethnic, linguistic and religious groups only God knows into how many countries nigeria will disintegrate to....
Agumbankembu: Keep your real estate in Lagos and Abuja, who e help, we are talking of rapid industrialization vis-a-vis what is obtainable in Aba, you talking real estate.
Chances are that you didnt know that dredgers, agro-allied machinery, oil tanks are made in Aba.
In a small makeshift workshop along the back roads of the city, Azubuike, a young self-trained fabricator who no one has ever heard of before, and his 7 hard working accomplices,are just putting finishing touches to some very unique pieces of machinery. These lot are the minimum weekly output for Azubuike, and it’s all hand-made, all beautiful, good quality machines.
Please am not here to dispute aba's or igbos industrial prowess and no where in my post did I insinuate such.... I raised a question here to which you did not provide answer.... if don't know simply say so or better still don't comment .......
With the recent calls for disintegration by all the major representatives of various ethnic groups (igbos:ipod, yoruba:odua: hausa/fulani:acf, ijaw:mend etc....) in nigeria.... I can't help but ask myself this mind bulging questions.....
What will happen to the massive investment of real estate, land, fixed asset, etc by different groups in various section of the country? Especially Abuja and Lagos....
What will happen to the federal government investment and properties e.g educational facilities, industrial and petrochemical assets, agricultural and service industry.... ports, refineries, steel companies etc etc....
What will happen to both foreign and domestic debt by the federal government and states....
What will happen with regards to citizenship as a result of growing inter marriages among various ethnic and religious group.....
What will happen to Nigeria's foreign assets, embassies, foreign reserves, etc
Etc etc etc
I have tried to answer the questions but couldn't that's why I decided to post on nairaland ......
henchamb: His mates are commissioning projects that are of economic value (bridges, parks, roads, hospitals etc) He is busy inspecting one uncompleted 'shapeless thing'. In mama piss voice, Mr. Governor were you not informed of the jubilee celebration
Reminds me of one useless centenary tower wasting in the heart of Abuja by one clueless president.
darfay: stop posting Google Earth images of the north well maybe you just discovered it but since you are a mallam must be like rocket science to you and it shows how sparsely populated the north is
I am simply responding to what the op asked( infrastructure aspect)..... And if you look at my last post, I said I will post more of gombe and ekiti state... Why must everything in nigeria reduced to ethnic and religious sentiment.... where did I say that the north is densely populated ..... Atleast I am contributing to the topic at hand.... if you don't have anything to say, you not obligated to do so you know..... And finally if your intention is to make me angry by using derogatory words "mallam" (which means teacher btw) am sorry to tell you that it won't work......
