blues20: A cousin of mine was affected by this operation. Had no choice than to relocate to China. Imagine, going to China to hustle from scratch again. And you say Nigeria is one. Bullshit.
fratermathy: For as long as you never remove your egotistical and greedy eyes from Urhoboland, you and your ilk shall never get your promised land.
You can't force a referendum on a people that aren't interested in getting one. Wetin sef?
Did we say we want to leave Nigeria? Has any Urhobo started a movement for a referendum? In fact, has any minority tribe called for a referendum to join Biafra? Why superimpose yourself on them?
You IPOB Igbos are only bringing disgrace, insult and dishonour to the Igbo nation. Better get over your head now and see the facts. No Urhobo wants anything to do Igbos, talk less of Biafra!
As for your "God bless", we don't need it. Tell your "God" to give you Biafra first before blessing Urhobos. We don't subscribe to a "Chukwu Okike Abiama" that supports land grabbing, tribalism, misogyny and greed. Our "Oghene" stands for us.
The people have spoken. VOX POPULI, VOX DEI! We say NO to BIAFRA. Hear the people speak below (mind you, these are the BEST COMMENTS that favour Igbo people):
Ngozi123: Please, I appreciate your contributions to this thread but I don't want it to descend into a tribal slinging match. It might deter unsuspecting Igbos away from this thread and prevent them from learning about this trend.
Ok Oooo sister Ngo.
blues20: There is time for everything under the sun........
As the great philosopher Karl Marx once said, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."
This expression is most befitting the situation currently going in Nigeria today. The situation, of course, being Nigeria's developed paranoia concerning Igbo people.
The video details Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Saudauna of Sokoto, talking about his 'Northernisation Policy'. In the video, Sir Bello reveals his feelings about Ndigbo, particularly his fears over an Igbo domination in the civil service sector in the North. Sir Bello's sentiments here were not particularly surprising at the time, considering that many Northern leaders were apprehensive about Nigerian independence for the same reason. However, what is rather surprising is the fact that many Nigerians still share these sentiments today.
Here's what Sheikh Ahmed Abubakr Gumi had to say about the presence of Igbos in the Nigerian Army:
Although Sheikh Gumi's anti-Igbo agenda is very clear here, what I'm more concerned with is the syntax here. Note that he says at the start of the paragraph "dangerous trend in promotions..." It's shocking that when he says "dangerous", he's not referring to any incompetence on General Ihejirika's part, rather the fact that he believes that Ihejirika was enlisting more Igbos into the army. In his eyes, the Igbo is intrinsically dangerous.
The danger associated with the Igbo and their supposed desire to dominate is something that, as Sir Ahmadu Bello suggests, must be dealt with swiftly and directly. The Igbo mustn't rise above his station. Whilst Sir Bello sought to deal with this situation by employing a "Northerner First" policy, others choose to stifle the Igbos by immediately shutting down any Igbo acts of dissent. A good example to use would be the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu's comments about Igbo residents daring to vote for a candidate he didn't endorse:
It's clear that the Oba was not accepting of any case of Igbo dissent here, even going to the extent of threatening to drown them if they went against his word. It's evident that the monarch, just like Sir Bello, feared the Igbos becoming too powerful in his jurisdiction.
To conclude, I'm worried about this ongoing trend as, just as Marx said, 'history tends to repeat itself as a tragedy first' therefore it is something that needs to be dealt with now.

Imagine that rag-head desert wretch insulting the great igbos.
If it wasn't for us, they will still be running naked and hungry in the desert but let me not insult a dead man.
Referendum is nothing to fear, it is democratic and result binding. We will conduct referendum, the voice of the people is the voice of God and everybody will respect the result.
Nobody will bully any people into any Country, whether ur a member of that tribe or not. They will observe due process, the troubled ones will be dealt with accordingly within the ambit of the law.
bantudra: who told you britain is successful...??...killing and stealing from others is not success in my opinion....
you people shouldnt forget who the british are...
Nigeria has past it's sell by date. We dont want to wake up one morning and that will be our final day on earth becos of ethnic violence like that in ile ife or kano.
That would be disastrous way to end wat started peacefully, let us sit down agree to part ways and the terms for us to part ways.
We all know that Nigeria has been a disappointment and a boiling point for hatred from inception.
Both Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello were verbal in their opposition to Nigeria and introduced hatred and Bigotry that later claimed the life of the latter and landed Awolowo in Prison.
The only person adamant about Nigeria was Nnamdi Azikiwe(Zik of Africa).
It has not worked and will not work, nothing wrong with seeking an alternative peacefully.
bantudra: and who is uk??..do you remember who they are??..isnt it the same people that conquered and enslaved you??..
you realy want to be like them??..?...
be better than them,not like them...
Nothing last forever Bro and their is no purpose for the failed Nigeria to continue.
If the successful Britain that have existed for 1000 years can come apart despite speaking one language which is English, then 57 year old Nigeria with Civil War and seperatist movement from every region stands no chance.
Nigeria is like a ticking bomb and OBJ have said that nigeria sitting on keg of gunpowder. It is just time Bro.
We are tired with this Giant of Africa for akara and akamu status.
Kenya without oil has a more vibrant economy than Nigeria and kenya is a country built on rural economics.
We have educated people but Yoruba Agbero and Hausa Terrorist cannot allow them work. I dont mean igbos here as barins are amongst the Hausa and Yorubas.
bantudra: okay....i agree...The referendum will be for non-igbo speakers...thats fair enough..
your next step is to convince the senate and law makers to hold that referentin....the hardest part..
me,i dont want biafra....
Biafra was there before Nigeria and is still there. Ojukwu said something about a confederation for Nigeria, that was the best model.
In a confederation every members state will develop and grow at their own pace. There would be competition like u see in the west over who has the most developed country.
Biafra is actually a blessing and likewise Oduduwa, u never know until u try it. Nigeria is also a blessing but a dead one, wat is remaing is burial ceremony.
but why are you people soooo obsessed with yorubas??......i dont get it...
So many of u are destined to be wasted on the way but wat is certain is Yoruba on its own is big enough in land mass and population to be a country of ugly people.
I say that becos yorubas always refer to themselves as ugly for reasons best known to them .
Today we heard tha OBJ wife have issued a court order to stop her son marrying a yoruba girl. Could it be that the girl was also fathered by OBJ?
This is the consequences of baby mama, scattered everywhere, involuntary incest.
My brother, like the post u quoted states, IKA and Rivers will never be abandoned for neither Afonja in the far west or Aboki in the far North.
Both Rivers and Ika in Delta hold regular Biafra protest, to say the least, they hold membership of Ohanaeze, IPOB and MASSOB, they are full blooded igbo people.
They have only learnt to use the we are not igbo to deceive beggars like u. Always begging igbo.
