IPOB can not say they represent All of the territories the want for their biafra without a sort of factual electoral success.
like Scottish National party did
As catolonia is doing.

Even if the FG were to give you a referendum as it is they will rig it.

IPOB need to built the institution first.
Get access to state machnism of media and structure to propagate her information. All the need is one state to state from.


without the state mechanism , they can aggitate and demonstrate as long as they want. They federal government that is very irrational will ignore them forever.

UN can monitor the referendum and make sure it is credible.
Nnamdi Kanu and his band of IPOB miscreants are internet savvy and can will ensure on the ground monitoring if they have to, to prevent rigging.

Nigerians, let us use Nnamdi Kalu, as an inspiration to become more engaged citizens and ask for better leadership.
We criticize our leaders, but we have not been exemplary citizens or followers.
We need to make our leaders know that we'll hold them to account.
While we are tearing our house down, the rest of Africa is moving on.
Take Rwanda for example: You'll think you were in Switzerland once you arrive in Kigali.
Rwanda had a recent war! Rwanda is landlocked and is not richer than Nigeria.
Rwanda is the cleanest state in all of Africa (take a look at the video below).
The savvy African traveller knows that Kigali is far better than Abuja or Lagos.

The Southeast may be landlocked like Rwanda, and like Rwanda has alsovhad a genocide but look at what Rwanda has become.
Can the Southeast meet the challenge? We hear that the southeast is roaring to emerge as the answer to the black man's prayer and is ready to compete. If you want to compete, look no further than Rwanda! Rwanda has set the bar high, lets see what Southeast can do.
No be for mouth ooo!

You guys are just here concluding what tgey want to discuss as if you were the ones who organised the meeting.
Before you quote me just remember that assumption is the lowest level of intelligence

On a second thought, you are right!

Arewa (literally...The north) only has meaning is it relates to Southern Nigeria.
If Nigeria disintegrates, Arewa (north) cannot remain north, because north is just a geographical expression.
Will they retain the name Arewa, or should they call themselves Almajiristan?
Click Likes for Arewa, Share for Almajiristan.

We all know that Hezbollah runs a quasi (parallel) country inside Lebanon.
And Lebanese geovernments always have to factor Hezbollah in the scheme of things.
Arewa (more precisely the Caliphate) has been doing this for years inside Nigeria. We always have to factor in the Caliphate's idiosyncracies.
Asiwaju tried to do the same thing in Yorubaland. Arguably Asiwaju has folded his franchise to Arewa.
Do you think Nnamdi Kanu is trying to set up his own franchise like Hezbollah?

@EmmaUgoh, or the writer Rev Chuks

Simply brilliant.
You are a genius!
I suspect that like me you had all A-1s when you wrote WAEC.

Markfemi2:
Define the federal entities in north and west that's not in south south and south east

No one gives a hoot about se
It doesn't contribute anything to national purse

What does NE contribute?

I think the 6 new zones should be:

NW: Sokoto, Kebbi, Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara
NC: (Middle Belt) Niger, Nassarawa, Plateau, Benue, Kogi
NE: Yobe, Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe, Borno, Jigawa, Bauchi
SE: Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia
SW: Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo,Kwara, Ekiti
SS: Bayelsa,Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo

They should be the basis of federation.
Each zone can determine whether they want to keep the states or dissolve the states.
They should also maintain resource control and pay 40% tax to the federal government.
Each region can maintain law and order in the regions with regional police
Also, each region would have a seaport:
For example dredge the Niger River and have a seaport in Lokoja for the Northern regions.
as well as functional seaports in Lagos, Warri, PH, Calabar.
And functional international airports in Lagos, Enugu, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, and Calabar.
And standard East- West Rail from Lagos -PH- Calabar
And inter-African rail from Kano to Khartoum-Cairo, Lagos - Accra, Calabar - Gabon
Walahi, if you do this coupled with reliable power supply Nigerian economy will take off.
That way Nigeria can increase her Market share from 250 million of Africa;s 1 billion population to at least 400 million Africans.

FG role will be limited to defence (with equal contribution of manpower from the regions), immigration, foreign affairs, judiciary (i.e. supreme court only- with each region contributing one chief justice), and maybe some sort of social benefit scheme.

All of this can be achieved in 4-7 years with 40-50 Billion dollars (if more money is needed, it can be financed through the sale of bonds)

I drove from Aba-PH and didn't even know when I got to PH. It was so close.
I also drove from Owerri-Obinze-PH and it was so close(around 30 minutes)
And everyone was speaking Igbo.
I was shocked, so I must say if Rivers is South-South, then Imo and Abia is South-South.

Odingo1:
Igboland are not landlocked, Igboland extend to some part of Rivers and Delta,State creation is just artificial made by Gowon, is only in old Eastern Nigeria,that Igbos found in Rivers,Delta,Edo and Benue are not refer to as Igbos, but in the north the Fulanis and Hausas are referred to Fulanis and Hausas anywhere they are found in the North, Yorubas in Kwara are still refered to as Yorubas, is some part of Kwara,kogi not a yoruba land

I must say I agree with you.
I am just saying in the rare chance that the coastal regions decide to stay with Nigeria in a referendum,
I am sure Igbo will have the key to the land-lock.

Glad they are coming together.
Thank God for Nnamdi Kanu.
Nnamdi Kanu has made everyone politically aware.
Even the "miscreants" are politically aware.
Politics in Nigeria will not be the same.
Its time for hard-knuckle politicking.

I know proponents of negative politics will see to it that
the coming together of SE+SS does not bear fruit.

My own be sey whether SS+SE works or not, I trust Igbos
have the key to unlock their land-locked region.
Shikena!

Daplux4:
I wanted to engage u on a debate but on second thought I found out how biased u are so there is no need to waste my time on u.

I'm ready for the debate.

MrPresident1:
Narrow minded Igbos like you destroyed GEJ's presidency with their parochial world view and primitive mindset.

He is our best president ever, voted in throughout the country, but he was naive and did not know that the igbos he surrounded himself with, people like you, were too narrow minded. This was his downfall. They thought they could dominate the country through him, fancying themselves the master tribe, and lords over Nigeria. This is the average Igbo mindset, seeking to dominate by hook or crook, and when he is caught in his designs he screams marginalisation, shedding crocodile tears.

Benjamin, our father's last born will always behave like a last born.

But GEJ was our best president

Everything revolves around Ndi Igbo. Igbo must be the sun.

signz:
There's something IPOB don't understand. Minorities are scared of leaving a country where there are many minorities to a country where there'll be fewer minorities.

Also there's this story of killings or genocide committed against them by our own Biafran soldiers of which our own Ohaneze group have not apologised for. I believe Nnia Nwodo should lead a delegation to those places ASAP, if a SE and SS economic cooperation is to work.

Please show evidence of where Ndi Igbo committed genocide against minorities or spearheaded any killings against minorities.

Has anybody ever ever watched the movie : there will be blood?
In the movie Daniel Day Lewis plays an oil man who drills oil far away from the actual oil well.
Oil sits in a basin, just like an aquifer.
Who knows how big the basin is? Perhaps it can be tapped well inland with new technologies.
I pray the south-south shine their eye wella, because they disavow Biafra now because they think they have oil.
Who Knows, once Biafra is achieved, Biafra can drill within her territory to the continental shell to take the oil right away from the supposed oil barons. Now that would be ironic?

op, u be ogbanje?

All Igbo political jobbers are singing one Nigeria while chopping government naira.
I wonder whether these political jobbers are trying to cash in before it all comes crashing down.
Igbo political jobbers-- how market?
The Igbo have all become politically aware; even the "miscreants" are politically aware.
Its time for hard-knuckle politics.
Trouble dey for Naijeriya.

For posterity sake IGBOS!
I say it's greed or ungrateful attitude kept them were they are today

The anatomy of Caliphate colonialism (
ON JULY 9, 201712:15 AM
SUNDAY PERSPECTIVES
By Douglas Anele

Caliphate colonialists from the north would not have succeeded in their schemes for so long without using southerners, more disappointingly the Igbo, to do their dirty work. We have already noted that during the regime of Gen. Murtala Mohammed, Justice Akinola Aguda from the south-west chaired the committee that recommended Abuja as the new capital of Nigeria. Karl Maier, in This House has Fallen, wryly noted “the spectacle of two former Biafran wartime propagandists, ‘Comrade’ Uche Chukwumerije and Walter Ofonagoro, plying their trade on behalf of the Babangida and Abacha dictatorships…and the young pro-military campaigner, Daniel Kanu’s comical YEAA, for Youths Earnestly Ask for Abacha… .” Now, as Gen. Abacha was consolidating his grip on power with Machiavellian tactics, events unfolded in an extraordinary sequence that, if novelised, would make an absorbing piece of fiction focusing on the precariousness of human existence and everything associated with it. On June 8, 1998, Abacha died of heart attack in controversial circumstances, and was replaced about twenty-four hours later by the relatively unknown chief of army staff, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar. As at that time, the June 12 issue was still unresolved. The new military ruler evoked the assistance of Kofi Annan and Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former secretaries-general of the United Nations and Commonwealth of Nations, respectively, among others, to meet Abiola and try to convince him to relinquish his mandate. On July 7, in what seems like a well-planned clandestine elimination plot by both local and international actors, Chief Abiola took ill while having a meeting with United States officials led by the undersecretary of state, Thomas Pickering. He was taken to a medical clinic where he died ninety minutes later. Once again, with Abdulsalami Abubakar as head of state, the caliphate has triumphed; but there was growing apprehension because of the increasing feeling in the south, in Yorubaland particularly, that application of the born-to-rule theory of Maitama Sule by Babangida, Abacha and Abdulsalami Abubakar was the main reason Abiola was denied the presidency. Probably because of the brief period at his disposal, Gen. Abubakar could not do much for caliphate colonialism. However, the unexplained but massive reduction in the country’s foreign exchange reserves within six months meant that Abubakar presided over a hideously larcenous interregnum. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s contrived emergence as President in 1999 demonstrates the audacity of caliphate colonialists in determining the oscillations of power pendulum in Nigeria. Obasanjo was serving a fifteen-year jail sentence slammed on him by the late Abacha for allegedly plotting to overthrow him. To retired senior military officers from the north, including Babangida, Abubakar, Danjuma and others who still wielded enormous economic and political power in the Animal Farm called Nigeria, Obasanjo, a southern agent of the northern ruling establishment and former head of state who handed over power to a democratically elected northerner, can be trusted not to rock the boat of caliphate colonialism. As a result, Babangida and others ensured that Obasanjo emerged victorious in the February 1999 presidential election under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). “Chief Obasanjo, smarting from the humiliation of imprisonment and torture by Abacha, retired what he called politically exposed military officers, most of whom were from the north and loyal to the hegemonist vision of the caliphate. Expectedly, some prominent caliphate colonialists were not happy with Obasanjo. In response, they launched what might be called sharianisation of the core northern states, a move that tended to challenge the purported secularity of Nigeria. Unfortunately, Obasanjo naively believed that the sharia movement will fizzle out. He was wrong. Chinweizu reports that on March 28, 2005, the emirs met in Kaduna under the auspices of the supreme council of Islamic affairs with the sultan of Sokoto as chairman. At the meeting, retired Major Mustapha Jokolo, emir of Gwandu then and, ipso facto, second in command to the sultan, lamented that northern muslims have been marginalised by Obasanjo. Therefore, “we must decide what to do now…Let our people withdraw from the confab…Muslims are not afraid and they will come out to say the truth.” Jokolo continued: “We [muslims] have been pushed to the wall and it is time to fight…Obasanjo is trampling on our rights and muslims must rise and defend their rights. The more we continue to wait, the more we will be marginalised.” Obasanjo’s failure to recognise at the initial stage the dangers posed by the introduction of sharia and boko haram and deal with them decisively was a serious blunder that has actually strengthened the grip of caliphate loyalists on power at the centre. By the time Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was elected President in 2007, several other states in the north had joined Zamfara state in proclaiming sharia. Moreover, boko haram had mutated into a well-funded instrument of terror and destruction with links to Al Qaeda. Yar’Adua was a scion of the caliphate, a mild-mannered gentleman whose capacity to perform in office, including dealing with the boko haram insurgency, was hampered by ill health. It has been alleged in certain quarters that Obasanjo deliberately picked Yar’Adua knowing that he might not finish his tenure so that power would be transferred to the non-caliphate Vice-President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. “Of course, the allegation might be true, but there is no evidence to back it up. The demise of Yar’Adua paved the way for Jonathan to become the first President from the south-south geopolitical zone. Like Yar’Adua, Jonathan is a cool-headed humble man lacking the military aggressivity and bullying tactics of Obasanjo. There are clear indications that caliphate colonialists were not comfortable with his presidency, although we must admit that Jonathan himself played into their hands by his failures, which were magnified in the media by opposition politicians and their hired lackeys. Frist, several prominent members of the northern establishment kicked against Jonathan’s decision to ignore the zoning policy of the PDP and contest in 2011 after serving out the remaining period of his joint ticket with Yar’Adua. As early as October 2010, Alhaji Lawal Kaita stated that “The north is determined, if that happens, to make the country ungovernable for President Jonathan or any other southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy.” Two years later, in Katsina, he threatened that “We hear rumours all over that Jonathan is planning to contest in 2015. Well, the north is going to be prepared if the country remains one. “That is, if the country remains one we are going to fight for it. If not, everybody can go his way.” Jokolo and Kaita were not the only prominent northerners that used bellicose language to express their demand that the presidency must return to the north, especially in 2015. Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari, in May 2012, warned that should what happened in 2011 election repeat itself in 2015, “the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.” But why are northerners so obsessed with political power at the federal level to the extent of threatening violence if one of their own did not become the President in 2015? Answer: because they are convinced beyond any iota of doubt that Allah had destined Nigeria to be ruled by the descendants of Uthman Dan Fodio, as enunciated in 1960 by Sir Ahmadu Bello and reaffirmed thirty-two years later by Maitama Sule. “In economic terms, this means that the north must control oil revenue from the south in a manner that benefits mostly members of the northern ruling elite, both military and civilian. In that regard, the Biafran conflict was fundamentally a war by northern region against the eastern region for the control of oil. It is remarkable that after more than forty-seven years since the war ended, members of the northern establishment are still fixated about control of oil proceeds from the south. The Guardian of May 28, 2009, contains a statement by Alhaji Bala Ibn N’Allah, then a member of the House of Representatives and now in the Senate, to the effect that “What is happening in the Niger Delta is pure criminality of the highest order, arising from total disregard for constituted authority. In Iraq, thousands of people lost their lives because of an insurrection against the government during the reign of former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein. We can do away with 20 million militants for the rest of 120 million Nigerians to live.” Similarly, Usman Farouk, former military governor of north-western state during the regime of Gen. Gowon, in his reply to Asari Dokubo who threatened that his group would trigger secession of the Niger Delta from Nigeria, boasted that “We subdued the Yorubas and conquered the Ijaws; we will do it again.”

Does anyone believe that Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas, Fulani, Ijaws, and Tiv, share a common destiny?
If we don't have a common destiny, then we are not a nation.
How can we forge a common destiny? That is the task at hand.

Look at this authoritative report on the extent of the Sokoto caliphate and how central slavery was to the the Caliphate.
Sokoto Caliphate was just as aggresive as slaveholder in the 1800s as was the United States.
Arguably, Sokoto caliphate had a larger slave population expanding west from Sokoto to Burkina Faso, west to Cameroon and as far south as Oyo.
Has the Fulani aristocracy disavowed slavery? It is not suprising that polio and illiteracy are only endemic in Northern Nigeria. After all what is the value of a slave?

mgbadike81:
you're talking from emotion not logic, if osibanjo should try what you said, the army would overthrow him overnight while massive violence against Southerners and Christians would break out in the north.

If Osibanjo does what exactly?
What do you think I suggested that he should do?
So Arewa will fight southerners and Christians if the Acting President dares to grow the economy?
