What a useless thread. You mean Nnamdi Kanu has to tell the Nigerian Government to do something about boko haram killing people?

Ojukwu was a man who once believed in 'one Nigeria'. He joined the Nigerian Army and even fought for Nigeria in the Congo.

But later on, he realised that there is nothing like 'one Nigera' and he fought to liberate his people from "Northern controlled Nigeria".

It is not a useless thread at all. At least we all know what happened that led Ojukwu to become a rebel leader, what happened between the time this video was made to the time kanu became the ipob champion?
This guy is an ambitious opportunist, I see him running for office and riding the backs of his naive supporters to power.

The 'mop head' was his dread that was cut off. Will Smith assisted him in doing so and he has been walking about with the locks for over two weeks now.

That boy is weird. Lol

Agumbankembu:
Stop removing young Nze's cap, it is a taboo.

Lol

We all know Kanu is an opportunist. What happened from the time this video was made to the time he became a biafran fanatic?

From an advocate of a peaceful Nigeria to a die hard opponent of the "zoo" where anyone who is not Igbo must die.

Sanchez01:
LMAO! You thought it was real? That's Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son. Blame it on inferiority complex.

I actually thought Jaden Smith was acting out another one of his crazy fashion fantasies. Na wah o.

My only suspicion was the "mop head" he was holding with Igbo attire.

Sanchez01:
I guess Adekunle Gold's new photoshop would be the in-thing now.

Oh my God! That was a fake picture? I hate deception.

backtosender:
Hollywood top actor son (will smith) dressed in Igbo attire the boy is a big actor as well

He looks quite good in that attire far better than the skirts he used to wear. I wonder where he got the inspiration to wear skirt.

PS: The picture is fake.

Nope,take my words to the bank;its a solemn pledge.

Ok sir! Words taken to the bank already.

Lagos marching on step by step, one block at a time.

You mean how Awololowo your father died? It was by taking aba-made rat poison.akpa amu di ka gi.The day of reckoning is coming for yoruba for their ignoble role in committing genocide against my people,and it will be bloody, we,the post-war generation of biafrans are even more embittered than our fathers,and we re getting ready for the showdown.in,Kanu,s voice"nti nuru ya ga asu wuruwuru".

Lolzzzz, are you a comedian?

evilyoruba:
But why are the likes of you want igbos in your Nigeria?any are not interested in having a Yoruba only country? Can't you people rule yourselves? Why do you so much want igbos with you? This is more than attache by force

The country is made up of several tribes and different interests, it will be difficult for any group even the Hausa and Fulani to pull out unilaterally without some people having their rights or interests trampled upon. The minorities in the north may decide not to go with them.

Even some minorities is the southwest may decide not to join the SW, this is why your next civil war is probably doomed before you have started unless you have some aircraft carriers and submarines with nuclear weapons.

Trust me, if Igbos will decide to go today with only core igbo states and nothing else, Nigerians may become less hostile to the idea.

Nwakaumu:
Our Motto;we shall never forgive,nor forget yoruba and Hausa-Fulani conspirators.

As Yoruba would say " ti owo omode o ba te eku ida, a kii beere iku to pa baba eni" Meaning if a child does not have the handle of the sword he shouldn't be asking about how his father died, simple logic.
You need a better motto.

Dedetwo:
A mere combination of Yoruba and Hausa including Fulani and Kanuri cannot withstand Ndigbo in a conventional war. I love to associate with prowess of Biafrans any day of my life. It took combination of military efforts of northern region, western region, mid-western region, some parts of eastern region all of Nigeria, Britain, USSR, Egypt, Arab League of Nations, Canada, Australia, Niger, Chad and Cameroon almost three years to subdue Biafra. Jokers such as you who have been relatively drowned by the events of yesteryears are due for rude shock.

Biafra lost and they are still bitter 50 years on, how and why they lost is only relevant as a subject of history.
If you think you are ready to have a go at Nigeria once more I wish you God's speed, and I wish you will respect others who may have a different goal or strategy from yours.

Cooly100:
When you are cornered, you look for a fact...You should use your head to adduce. Take churches like Redeem and other pentecostal churches...Most Nigerians know that the Yorubas are the champions of tribalism...PERIOD!!

Spurious allegations again and again! Most people are this and that, this exactly is your problem. You make a lot of spurious and general statements, how many Yorubas do you even know personally? Yet, you sound like an expert on Yoruba daily activities and even what they are thinking in their heads!

Cooly100:
...and going to church is also market and business visibility? How many Yorubas attend churches other their own churches, compared to Igbos attending Yoruba churches...? My friend leave that thing...You are heavily tribalist...

Seriously, I have no data on who attends what. I won't discuss spurious allegations that have no basis in fact.
Maybe I am a tribalist, maybe I like my tribe but I harbour no hate for yours.
You accused me of being a tribalist yet I haven't described your ancestors as falling from the sky. Did I hear you say hypocrisy?

Cooly100:
If you asked which tribe do more tribalism would you say it is Igbo? Yoruba are extremely clannish than any other tribes in Nigeria. You don't invest in any region than yours, while other tribes invest everywhere including your region. So you can see. Tribalism and mistrust are more from you...as you are afraid of all tribes other than your own...

Investment is a function of market and business viability. People invest primarily where they are sure of recouping their investment and making a return and if that place is kafanchan that is where they will go.

If you think today's Nigeria is 1967 era, you must be playing with fire. Nigeria must disintegrate, period. It is unfathomable to any Igbo person to declare a war because certain goons want to separate from Nigeria. If Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani or Kanuri want to secede or announce secession from the Nigeria, Ndigbo will be at the boundary to wave them bye-bye with cheers.

You and your fellow igbos on this thread are on a different spectrum. Some wants to secede by force and you are telling me you will be at the boundary! Boundary of what exactly? You will be at the boundaries and insult Yoruba and Hausa until they get tired of you and give you your independence?

Cooly100:
Yorubas could be asking for restructuring since your progenitor fall from the sky...and it has not happened? So when will you have your restructuring? MASSOB was formed in 1999...and has nothing to do with your Jonathan...You need some education, though...

Because people like you are tethered to fear and mistrust and hate. If Nigeria is going to fall apart which I don't pray for, it will collapse because Nigerians have decided not to use their brains anymore, it will fall apart because hate and tribalism and mistrust is more attractive to folks like you.

Dedetwo:
How does unilaterally secession of Ndigbo from the zoo called Nigeria damages your future? Ndigbo and rest of the Yoruba, Fulani, Hausa and Kanuri in Nigeria are not brothers and sisters therefore had the inalienable right to secede from the zoo. Since some dummies in Nigeria have decided that call for self determination is war, Ndigbo must be prepared for war the next time around.

You can do it brother, unfortunately the path is very narrow. Either all Nigerians sit down and decide to peaceful part ways or by force. That is what Ojukwu did and lost and that is what ipob is calling for once again.
You have a God given right to determine what direction you want to go but you have absolutely no right to drag Yoruba to it if they are not willing.

Nowenuse:
Yoruba/Igbo unity can never work because of yoruba muslims who are very eager to please Hausa-fulanis, and will always be ready to betray the alliance.

Yoruba muslim and Christian dichotomy is a figment of your imagination. Nigerians have been living together now long enough for the different tribes to understand each other.

Cooly100:
Are you serious? Who is dragging the Yorubas into anything? Rather the Yorubas want one Nigeria at all cost, as they prefer to be survivalists than taking the country of their lives...

Yoruba were asking for restructuring of the federation even during Babangida, nobody knew the position of igbo until recently when Jonathan was defeated after the igbo erroneously thought their support was all he needed.

Dedetwo:
Talk is holistically cheap. Ndigbo were the people who led some few groups in a gun fight to restructure the zoo called Nigeria. The last time I check though, Yari.ba fought for silly "One Nigeria". You can loudmouth all you want the about testing a food but the actuality comes in the eating. It is not is pat on the back to say the Ndigbo fought a war to change Nigeria as we know it today.

You can twist history all you want but facts are stubborn. Igbo decided to secede unilaterally thinking they can pull it off alone and they lost, end of story.

Cooly100:
...How long would the Yorubas survive...Is that what you defeatist want? Can you go to space with the way you are surviving? Don't you have the balls to fight to be able to progress at your pace, instead of shouting down on the Igbos that want to control their lives? Ambode, can't even work on the Lagos airport road as he is being frustrated by the federal government. How long would you continue to survive?

Defeatist? No, they are actually very smart. I hope Nigeria doesn't brake up but if it does that is when you will realize how effective the strategy is.
The Igbo are free to pursue their own agenda if they think they can do it alone without dragging Yoruba to it.

Cooly100:
..and so what?

And so igbos lost out and became adrift and Yorubas became very good survivalists.

Cooly100:
Rubbish! So we shall continue with what Zik wants...What of the northern that wanted division and now want unity? A man has the right to change at any time. Maybe you are as rigid as a stone...

When you dealing with the lives of millions of people you can't get precarious.

Cooly100:
Rubbish! So we shall continue with what Zik wants...What of the northern that wanted division and now want unity? A man has the right to change at any time. Maybe you are as rigid as a stone...

I will explain it to you bro, do you know what is called "unforced error" in tennis? That is what Ironsi committed when he made Nigeria a unitary state. Nigeria founding fathers rejected it before independence for some reason.
After the second coup when Ironsi had been eliminated, the northern soldiers were shouting "araba" meaning they wanted separation until the british alerted them to the foolishness of that move.
The country was now under their control and it has been like that ever since.

To be fair to the Igbos. they have never wanted to share their country with any one.

all they want is to go.

That is absolutely false. Igbo leaders led by Zik wanted a more united Nigeria before independence. Igbos only wanted out because they lost out as a result of the first coup.

Built2last:
An average Igbo man doesn't trust a yoruba man.

The war left a bitter experience that older Igbo generations have cascaded down to the younger ones.

It is unfortunate because its a blanket belief.

The Igbos felt that, to have sustained themselves with their own economy, transportation, accepted currency in 47 countries, they would have won the war if not that Yorubas through Awo, aligned with the north. That bitter experience Igbos will not forget in a hurry.

The agitation for seccession has been sustained by Igbos since after the war and Yorubas are the first to shout and scream there shall be no Biafra each time Igbos talk. This comes with apprehension in trusting Yorubas by Igbos.

I beleive in stronger south. The united south with stronger economy have no business being ruled by the north.

Look at the current security leadership of Nigeria. Military and para-military all Northerners.

its nothing but to consolidate and engender a stronger hegemony.

Yoruba leaders desire to be a republic because they have all it takes to be a great nation, but do not want to be at the fore-front of it.

I am amazed that Yorubas with the greatest seaport in Africa are scared of forming a strong nation.

They remind igbos that they are land locked and so cannot survive. I laugh at the parochial conclusion,

Europe has 27 member states, only 14 have access to water. the other 13 is land locked and some of them have existed for centuries.

look at Monaco and Gilbratar in Europe, these countries have practically nothing but services but leave well.

Igbos have River Niger bordered at Onitsha.

When dubai was established in the 80s. the country was a wilderness. today they boast of 14 lakes and still conquering nature.

can we have a stronger south? Yes we can

Yorubas were the first to campaign for stronger regions an idea which was frustrated by Zik, nobody knew where the igbos stood on restructuring until Jonathan lost the election.
Igbos have the right to blame anything or anyone for losing the war but the fact remains that there was never any agreement between Yoruba and Igbo to jointly secede from Nigeria.

Nigerians, our communication companies and co will never celebrate this young man as a hero but they can celebrate bbnaija winner as a hero infact we still have a long way to go. I am a yoruba but i supportef IPOB.

Some Nigerians, not all have their priorities upside-down.
