OreMI22: i won't speak much on that issue. But i interact with IPOB leaders on the western hemishpere. But they are mostly like NK in reasoning. "I want to die for Biafra kind of mindset". If we all want to die needlessly before the fight even starts, who will be alive to lead the fight?
I even advised them to ask NK to leave Nigerian after his May bail because if they realize they couldn't incarcerate his through the courts, they will find a reason to invade his home and murder him. They all said it was impossible because Nigeria will burn if that happened. I don't know why it's so hard to reason with my brothers.
we should better advise them to start re MapPoint biafra map
InyinyaAgbaOku: They have ended already, after bringing disgrace to Igboland. Imagine, dragging middle belt into the mix too. Shuo!! Those groups didn't waste time to give press statements from their various cultural unions in all newspapers in this country, denouncing how they aren't Igbos and for those who are definitely not Igbos, how they aren't Biafrans. See them talking of how people died in Rivers for IPOB. No be Eastern Igbos wey dey live there die so? The others were accidentally killed.
Those people are looking for who to exterminate , not me. The only thing that organization will achieve with their modus operandi is continuous extrajudicial killings of Igbos till our numbers deplete. If you ask them they will say that the FG can keep on killing, that the international community is watching. Watching gini? They haven't finished watching Syria and now Cameroun.
Always adamant to all forms of useful advice. You don't want election and you want referendum? Onye ga enye gi ya etu ahu? I am pro Biafra mana m si gi na m ghotara ndi a, kpoo m onye asi . Biafra will come but in the most reasonable way. Say no to Multiethnic Biafra, not even for Referendum sef.
tell them ooo...the worst is that they don't take advice
InyinyaAgbaOku: Biafra will lose big time if you consider others for referendum Cos they will vote against Biafra. The only reason Biafra is bloody is because we are tagging others along, Nigeria believes they are the ones with the oil and wouldn't let Biafra happen. Again, they think it's an Igbo runs and are ready to exterminate Igbo to stop that. So, since they believe it's just for Igbo advantage, Igbos should fight for it alone. The referendum should be restricted to Igbo people only, that way, the pass rate will be high.
frankfrancis871: Ok I will try.. There are many Igbos in the north, I was born and brought up in Nasarawa. Let me tell you something, every election Igbos run back to their homeland to prevent death because they can just start killing Igbos over any unwarranted little annoyance like the quit notice. I will focus on how we escape death in north even though it is good for business e.g the october quit notice
2017 was the first year I hear about Nnamdi Kanu and how serious agitation for Biafra was but I showed less interest until the quit notice. Most Igbos were scared to death and most just smiled and we went about our normal business and work without fear. We are used to been butchered and nothing will happen, the only thing we controlled there is the economic. Many people sent their wife and children home, many returned, my mum was scared to death. She got thinner of this because of how she lost her father during the pogrom in 1966 and grow up an orphan, I wanted to return with her but changed my mind. Many Igbos urged their brethren to calm down and that nothing will happen. When I go to the street you see people discussing this matter, some felt bad for us but most wanted us out of their lives. They believe we have dominated them enough, you will see little children less than 12 discussing how they will stab Igbos with knife and take whatever they wanted from our shops
please note that not all of them hates Igbos but all of them suffer from Igbophobia.
I will continue when I get your permissions, I need Igbos in east and west to see how things are with Igbos here.
frankfrancis871: Thank you, you understand me perfectly even the ancient greeks found amongst themselves (the spartans etc) and the germans like you said. Igbos and other Biafrans are great people that will become leaders when Biafra comes because we have all it takes! If we start spewing venoms like them, our freedom as a great nation will be delayed
The real hausas are not populated as exaggerated but the northerners unite together for one thing 'to destroy Igbos'. Igbos are in trouble that's why I'm relocating with nothing this year. If you want I can tell you more about Igbo in the north
frankfrancis871: As far as I know sire there are Ikwerres who identify with the Igbo nation, how would they feel when they see your post. I'm not asking we Igbos to become beggars because of some our misguided brothers who have choose to remain blind than face the truth. Igbos in S.E are big brothers to the other Igbo tribes so we must behave as such. We have achieved alot in life but our enemies will fear us only when we unite together. They (Ikwerre and their likes) can keep hating but we have been doing better ignoring them hoping that they will come back to their senses, treat any of the sensible ones like the father did to his prodigal son in the Bible. I belong to many of their fb groups but I just smile when I see any spewing venoms, Igbos are too great to exchange words with everyone. Let's forget on Biafra, we are not beggars and can never beg them. Here in the north, my friend who is Isoko is called 'Inyamiri' (Igbo) not to talk of an Ikwerre man! (I have a kwale neighbour.. Well that will be story for another day). Just like everybody wants to identify with Jews so will all who hate Igbos struggle to be Igbo descendants.
MEANWHILE
I want to know why they hate Igbos, let debate. I will tell my 1st october quit notice story, if you agree.
Handsomegod: Nwanne. You are visibly angry. Tone it down a bit. Personally,i know lots of efforts being made by people in both end of the divide to unite and present a common Igbo front. This however did not cancel out all the issues you raised.Lots of damage was done by our detractors.I look at this matter in two ways. Let us not perpetuate their plans by ourselves. I once again appeal you tone it down a little. Let us adopt an all encompassing approach to the relationship with South South Igbos who are still battling with identity crises. As many that genuinely identify with us(there are many like that already),we shall embrace and accept while the work goes on.. I also totally understand the effects of the ambiguity in political allocation,yet culturally and in matter of provenance,the work should be sustained. Nothing done in anger ever qualifies as a standard in the long run. Amarabe is our sister from that area. Ezepromoe is another.Many more are viewing and following this thread. This is a Pan Igbo thread.While there are misguided elements in Ika,sizable numbers are steadfast in their Igbo conviction.One of my closest family friend is from Akumazi. They breath,eat and represent Igbo all day. Recall that Cjrane,Osita Mordi and Bankesmalls here are all Ike but proudly Igbo. Very few poeple are more cerebral(Cjrane) and knowledgable about Igbo history(Osita Mordi),outspoken (Banke).There are many more like them. This issue is too delicate to be approached in anger.
bros.. For anioma itx lesser.but ikwerre ogba and ekpeye. I don't consider this people my broda
Ave u seen ipob talking about pdp? It doesn't concern us cos with buhari in power. Nigeria will burn and u and I will feel it wella while our elites gets fatter.. And for yoruba presidency. Let watch and see
CilicMarin: You guys have destroyed the fabrics of morality for your agitation, by fusing with the PDP and spear heading it's campaign for presidency.
u are the one confuse... Nobody ave ever supported anybody. It is all happening in ur head... U people think south east is pdp cos they voted for Jonathan.. No Igbo man want Igbo presidency. We want out from this contraption. That igbo presidency is for our useless elites
gidgiddy: As a Biafran supporter, I really hope that Buhari wins. Buhari will destroy Nigeria which is exactly what I want
me too. Every region will enjoy the change...and by then. He will unleash his full self.. This is just the tip of the ice berg..... Bubu will destroy this country
GuyWise: Politics? Is that a reason for a Gov who may claim in the future to culturally be Igbo, named a State project after the name of a man who killed over 3m of his people and destroyed the cities of his kinsmen...
Was it also politics that made these same people to seize buildings and land that were not theirs after the war?
Politics is not the problem, hatred is the problem and now we are out to give them double of that hatred.
bros he is a politician and he is a snake... Go to an ikwerre group. Ogba group and ekpeye group and see how toxic this people are... Go and witness it first hand... The more we want to make this people see the more they think we are unity beggars
I am from Abia. Umuahia is my hometown. We in Abia have cultural affinity with upland rivers, especially obiookpor, ndoki and ASA. These are core Igbo communities in river state. Pls Google it up or more information.
Obiookpor is somewhat considered ikwerre too, They are militantly Igbo. What do you say to that? Some of The ikwerre that I know are proudly igbo. I will not be so quick to condemn all of them.
lol. Go and join their groups nah and see for ur self ... Mr man... Ekpeye Ogba and Ikwerre are desame
safarigirl: tell me ONE time when SS has voted away from the pattern of SE
There are still the Igbo tribe in the same SS and in places like Delta and Rivers they have a substantial size. In the history of Nigeria, the SS has always aligned with the SE politically, the fact that you are here spinning your own tale cannot and will never change thay
Maybe you get one uncle wey win comot for VP. Just remove your mind from there because e no dey happen. And if you don't know, the SE is not permanently PDP. They are a people with their own mind, they do not get moved easily. If you mess with them, they will not lie down and take rubbish.
If PDP has sense, they know who to give VP to and your SS is nowhere near the equation. Hold that Chairmanship position with tight hand. We are not stupid
petsam11: Bros! Initially I didn't want to talk I even crossed your comment and read till page 3 but I saw u replying to some ppl who quoted u and now I said I must talk...
Firstly, You just commented like the SE/SS are having issues without knowing that they are close pals regardless of what u might hear or see... And u forgot that SE voted Jonathan like their own son (don't tell me it is politics)
Brother! Pls, never u take the Southeast for a ride! Forget what u read and see online... Those people are bunch of highly enlightened people like someone stated above... An average Igbo Man can never be pushed around talk less pushing him around anyhow... He and even she knows his/her Onions! So u think that, should Atiku and PDP decide to choose somebody else as Atiku's running mate the SE will act like zombies and still vote PDP...
Note: I am not a fan of where a leader comes from, all I am against is tyranny and wickedness against the other human being like we are seeing today... Even the blind can see it and the deaf hear it clearly!
So like I was saying, don't ever think that the SE can be taken for a ride... Even if they eventually vote for PDP, know u that they have their reasons... But to think that they have no choice is leaving in fools paradise...
Imagine what has been going on in the East wen someone and ppl who don't occupy any political posts in Nigeria would tell ppl to sit at home and they do it willing because they know that they are fighting for a cause... Now, have u bothered to ask what this kind of thing, the consequences that this can cause the PDP and Atiku if the SE and as well all Igbos voters outside the SE (just like someone above helped enlighten you that more Igbo "voters" are outside the southeast than in the Southeast) decide to sit at home on that very day Not because they were told by any group to sit at home but because they feel that in reality, they wer insulted and looked down on
Do u think that PDP can really go fsrther the way they want Don't believe all this talks online that SE and Igbo votes don't matter... Let me tell u brother, in this present election, it (more than) really matters if u are really a political analyst u should understand and know better!
You cannot insult an Ignore man brother and just go free you use pay one way or the other (don't call it cheastbeating). You might think he (Igbo Man) loves money, yes he does love money and so does everybody else! But most Igbo men are highly enlightened... They will eat your money and sit at home when provoked and when they hate you! That's an Igbo man for you! They will eat your money and do the right thing! They ain't Zombies!
Mind you, this is a North-North election, everybody needs to get and break more barriers than he can get so as to urge mentioned for the divides in the NW/NE
Please SE/SS are brothers and friends all in one! Forget what u hear about Igbo ppl wanting to take SS oil. Now everybody knows who the real "takers" of Sas oil are, whether the SE get oil and whether they have many other means of livelihood!
Note: #SoutheathernsAreNotZombiesAsManyThink Peace be unto you! Guten Morgen!!!
pazienza: We were all here when Amaechi was furious with GEJ for granting Abia State her disputed oil wells Rivers state claimed. Amaechi showed his true colors, when he asked GEJ, if "they" (Rivers) are now Biafrans (Igbos). In essence he was subtly reminding GEJ that it is only Igbos that her oil wells had been agreed to be stripped of, by the Nigerian government. GEJ giving those oil wells to Abia State, is akin to giving Rivers people, the Biafran treatment. Recall how Mammar Nasir boundary adjustment committee in 1976 took away Oil producing parts of old Imo state Now called Egbema and Obigbo and added to Rivers state.
But today, whenever it's convenient for Amaechi to escape Igbo criticism, he tells us that he is Igbo, and gullible Igbos would be too blind to see through this charade. Amaechi claim Igbo, yet he is the minister of transport under whose regime a railway scheme was being proposed that totally skipped SE. Under his regime, SE AIIA has been left to rot while PH airport keeps receiving all the attention needed.
superlightning: Tomorrow people from these same areas will come out and say that omehia does not speak or them.
Are you also aware the obiookpor in river state stood with IPOB in 2017?
Ndoki, ASA are all parts of abia state but a part of these communities were balkanized to river state. Are you not aware? You are either ANAMBRA or ENUGU so you won't know.
Are you aware that there is IPOB thriving in every local government area of river state.
By the way did obiano, an Igbo man,speak in favour of ipob? So its not about ikwerrre or no ikwerre. Its about the individual.
mr man. We are talking about ikwerre Ogba and ekpeye .. For ndoki. Ndi egbe na mma Igbo etche and co we can accept but for the trio i will never accept. They are opponunistics..chameleon
frankfrancis871: I support the @bolded and I support the unification of the IGBO race from Igbos from Enugu, Anambra, middle belt, delta, Ebonyi etc to cameroun to equatorial guinea.
Curlieweed: Don't waste time on those guys. They're not worth the time or effort.
It's too tangential to waste time on.
WE have much bigger fish to fry.
Deltayankeeboi: What has happened has happened. South South are solidly behind Atiku.
Our amiable president GEJ has given his support for Atiku. I can personally assure you that Atiku is getting 100% votes from SS.
Buhari's name is a curse in Niger Delta. Buhari's presidency was sold on deceit. Nigerians are wiser now.
2015 was a very big mistake which must be corrected for our nation to progress again.
In 2015, most people voted against GEJ not because they thought buhari was the messiah but because they felt GEJ had not done much and were not impressed.
Now look at Buhari that has been tested, what has he done? Since 2015 till now, no single capital project has been commissioned, no economic blueprint, no idea, no agenda, he took Nigeria into recession in his first year in office. What a clueless president.
Nobody is impressed with this government. Even international bodies are against him. His days are numbered already. The dullard has been tested and rejected.
#atikulation2019!!!
mr man. Niger delta is anoda ball game. What did you want Jonathan to do.. They spend huge money paying them monthly stipend. 65 ooo naira every month. Imagine if all that money is Chanel to public development
