You will never hear a Hausa man or Fulani man say Lagos is no mans land or Lagos doesn’t belong to Yorubas, this is one reason I like the Hausa, they respect Lagos and their host, but people from Benin, Delta and Igbo will come and open their stinky mouth and say Lagos is no mans land just because Yorubas pitied them and gave them land to trade, live and thrive. When Oduduwa comes these are the people OBA of Lagos will throw inside Lagoon, people without respect for others Lands, history and culture.

Please leave Ndiigbo out of your issue.

No right thinking Igboman is interested in Lagos.
We want Biafra.

I just noticed that if all governors in the entire south east and south south only wike has been vociferously opposed to anything ipob ugm. The remaining are skillfully avoiding any comments on the situation preferring to face governance

He is an Ikwerre.
They are rabidly Igbophobic by default.

Go to their villages in Portharcourt and see for yourself.

After years of permitting reviews and delays, the backers of Lagos' future Lekki Deep Sea Port project have signed a $630 million financing agreement with state-owned China Development Bank. The loan will provide Singapore-based developer Tolaram Group and state-owned construction firm China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) with the funds needed to build the facility. Terms were not disclosed.

The future Lekki Port will have a water depth of 16.5 meters and two berths of 680 meters in length each. It will have enough room to accommodate container ships of up to 18,000 TEU. Phase 1 capacity will be about 1.2 million TEU per year, rising to 2.5 million TEU in Phase 2. The extra space is expected to take pressure off of Lagos' beleaguered Tin Can Island and Apapa Ports, which are chronically challenged by congestion and access road traffic.

Lekki Port board chairman Biodun Dabiri said that the new port facility and the adjacent Lekki Free Trade Zone would have a major impact on the Nigerian economy, creating (directly or indirectly) over 200,000 jobs and generating billions in revenue for Lagos State.

In addition to the funding from China Development Bank, CHEC has committed to an equity investment of $470 million. After the port's completion, CHEC will operate the facility under a 45-year concession agreement. Singaporean processed food company Tolaram Group assembled the funding and concession package, its first foray into the world of infrastructure development, and it will retain a 22.5 percent ownership share.

To understand how the international politics and alliances would play out.
The Chinese have committed over 1billion US dollars on Lekki deep port with 45years concession agreement with NIGERIA to China to operate the port.

The Chinese would know to recoup their funds, Nigeria MUST remain one and Lagos must remain the main sea port to Nigeria, because a divided NIGERIA would see ports/River ports opening up in SS and SE(Obuaku River port), which would render Lagos port significantly less lucrative.

So already you should know that keeping NIGERIA United for next 45years Must be part of Chinese Government foreign policy.
If today there is a break of hostilities between Biafra and NIGERIA, the Chinese would fight tooth and nail to preserve NIGERIAN unity unless Biafrans have 1 billion dollars to pay the Chinese and promise them something more to match their 45years lease hold on Lagos port.

So that's one World power Biafra have to contend with if she must break free from Nigeria.

IPOB and whoever is interested in BIAFRA independence must be sharp enough to figure out these things.
In international arena, allies are determined by economic interests and not sentiments.
That is why Britain a supposedly Christian country backed Islamic North against Christian Eastern NIGERIA in 1967-70. Ojukwu was counting on British and the west supporting Biafra based on religious or moral sentiments but was forced to face the ugly reality that international politics is never based on sentiments or morals.

Wearing Israel Juddaism clothes and praying in Jerusalem would not make Israel support you in a war. Israel would support you if you are a Muslim and your economic interests aligns with theirs.

I just wanted to point these out.
We are not prepared for this war. More years of planning is needed.

Collyweed:
The first strategic mistake MNK made was sitting idly in London yapping trash about Jubril and what not while all the useless governors that tried to eliminate him were reelected in 2019. If we had 3 or 4 proper Igbo governors (not this current set of saboteurs and appeasers), we won't need any ESN.

Since he claims that the UGM killings were false flag operations, he should have known that whoever was actually behind the killings was working towards an expected end. Rather than publicly declaring a withdrawal (if only symbolically) using Ebube Agu as an excuse, he was sending conflicting messages. Making statements like "no one deserves to be in prison in Nigeria" after a "DSS" sponsored jail break and talking about "no check points". He just reminds me of Trump, very narcissistic and vain glorious.

It has been repeated many times.

How can you claim to want a new country when you can not democratically depose the political elites in your area of control who are diametrically opposed to Biafra independence?

IPOB can command a sit at home in SE and all man obeys, what stops IPOB from hijacking any of Nigerian registered party, turn it into it's regional hub, elect candidates for gubernatorial elections all over SE, make sure to pick sellable young and high flyers in each state. Obey the zoning Formular of each state in chosing them, then use your radio Biafra to market them well.
Get all Igbos queuing behind those candidates.
Use your grassroot presence and your youths to monitor all polling units and prevent all rigging machinery from PDP or APC.

Out of the 5, you can atleast win 1 at first outing, and expand from there.


Imagine how easy all things would be if all political representatives from councillors to Governors in Igboland are IPOB sympathetic individuals.

Just imagine the possibilities and how far it can take this agitation.

BIAFRA is a political problem, and you can't tell me it doesn't have political solutions. Strong entities are usually destroyed from within.

I understand you don't want to be involved in Nigeria politics, but what if you can have your assets highly planted into Nigerian political system while at same time not being part of the system yourself.

I mean, you get to manipulate the whole narratives yourself in your region.

I don't know if I'm making sense!

Collyweed:
Don't mind them! Anucha anuru aputa na ogbo n'akogheri .

It is news to them that god has an unfortunate habit of always siding with the larger and better equipped army.

I keep hearing this nonsense about how it is difficult to defeat guerrillas. This is just ignorance. This only works when you obey civil rights and avoid war crimes. This doesn't work when you are ready (and obviously eager as in the case of the uniformed thugs nicknamed the Nigerian Army) to commit war crimes and gruesome repression of non-combatants.

People like to talk about Vietnam and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

In the case of Vietnam, the US won every major battle but lost the war because they lacked popular home support for continued engagement. Lack of popular home support and culture also meant that US were not willing or able to be fully repressive or commit war crimes. In our case, Igbo blood is the very tonic that enlivens the lives of our neighbours and fellow countrymen.

All Igbos are guilty of any and every crime committed by any single Igbo. Most Nigerians don't see anything wrong with uniformed thugs killing innocent people (they demand it in the case of Igbos) if such people are not related to them.

In the case of Afghanistan, the Afghans had strong US support (specifically, the US provided the shoulder mounted Stinger missiles which were very effective against Soviet helos and tanks. They had a mountainous terrain very suitable for a guerrilla type insurgency and ill suited for mechanized operations by the Soviets. From what I have seen the ESN are very lightly armed. In addition to not having any support from major powers, they don't even have overwhelming local support.

In contrast, Russia was able to defeat the Chechens because they didn't care to differentiate between combatants and non-combatants. Similarly Sri Lanka defeated the Tamil Tigers using similarly repressive tactics.

While there is some possibility that IPOB may prevail for some time and wear down the uniformed thugs(NA), an intelligent person needs to ask if the potential costs will be worth it. In the first place, there are clear alternatives to armed conflict at this time especially as it is increasingly clear that Nigeria is going to fail anyway. In the second place, there is a strong possibility that even if they are able to prevail against the NA, they would then have to contend with ISWAP because bogging down the Nigerian military in Alaigbo will only bring the front of that other conflict closer to our doorsteps. There is no way you can look at this dispassionately without concluding that this is a losing situation.

You couldn't have put it better.

Also Vietnam had USSR and Chinese support. IPOB has no single international support.



On the quoted. Spot on. Even some of the Nigerians in the space called SS are licking their lips in anticipation for Abandoned property part 2.
Look at what Wike did in Obiigbo. You can only imagine what such characters can do if we become fully vulnerable after losing another war? And there are thousands of people like him down there.
Let's not talk about the Hausa-Fulani and the Yorubas for now.
We are playing with fire here. If we must do this, then it must be well calculated and precise with nothing left to Chance. Our odds for success must be very good and we must have contigency plan A to Z on each phase. We must have the best brains Ndiigbo has to offer in all fields of human endeavor worldwide all on board and brainstorming on nascent ideas to bring home this victory.
This should be beyond Radio talks, waving Biafran flags, or believing in religious mumbo jumbo like saying that chukwuokike Abiama or whatever God is with you and have given you divine assignment. That's bullshit.
Ndiigbo are a race of exposed people and have grown past such folly.
We can, should and must do better!

This is something that should be done as a generational planning, and handed over to the next generation. It's not something you hurry. The price for failure is too grave and could be genocidal for Ndiigbo.


We must be very careful. Onye Ndi iro gbalu okirikiri nah amu Anya mgbe niile.

OfoIgbo:
Your concerns here, are exactly my concerns.

That's why I am of the opinion that assault riffles are not enough for this struggle.
We must be able to hit them right at their homes, just they way they are hitting us.

We must also be able to sabotage them economically, by knocking out all the oil and gas pipelines thus drastically reducing their capacity to generate income to purchase arms. Nigeria is heavily dependent on the oil and gas, which are luckily within the striking range of IPOB

And this is where the problem lies.

If you strike a crude oil flow station in Minority areas of the South, they would not accept it. They would claim they were neutral and you brought your war to them, Never mind that they would allow FG to continue harnessing the oil in those flow stations to generate funds to commit war crimes in Igboland.

The Yorubas would look the other way, while the FG uses Lagos port to import weapons and military gears to use against Biafra. They would claim they are neutral while allowing FG use those ports, but immediately you bomb those ports to stall the FG, Yorubas would claim you attacked Yorubaland.

So you see. This is not as easy as you think.
We need a real plan long term one, because this is a war we cannot afford to lose again,not atleast lose without our enemies suffering severe casualties in their homelands as much as we suffered.

dallasi:
Will Biafra be a utopia? The impression that e-Biafrans give is that Biafra will be perfect and we all know for a fact that this is not true. Apart from the issue of corruption and sentimentalism that have been addressed, we still have the issue of development. Where will money be generated from to develop the nation? In the whole of the proposed Biafra, only Port Harcourt and Onitsha are economically viable cities. Where will the investors come from? Why should they invest in a volatile country? Only in Warri, we have Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo at loggerheads, imagine what would happen to the whole nation. Secondly, I am sure that no Niger Deltan will allow his “oil” to be used to develop Enugu like what happened with Abuja, and is still happening today. Niger Deltans are getting wiser and by the time the new nation is formed, matters that border on oil, wealth distribution and infrastructural development will be raised.

Why would Biafra be volatile? It would not have herdsmen to deal with as they would all be repatriated to Benue border between Biafra and Nigeria by Biafra military. There would be no Boko Haram to drain Biafra finance.
BIAFRA would always be restructured into self automous provinces with resource control as it was in 1967.

Eastern region had minorities yet was the most peaceful region in Nigeria throughout it's existence until Biafra war.

BIAFRA will not be Utopia, no place is an Utopia on Earth, but atleast it would be a country where almost everyone has same religious and general world outlook.
Where everyone will be pulling in one direction. There will be sanctity and respect for human life once the Islamic fanatics and their retrogressive culture are cut off.

The whole of Igboland is economically viable. Imo has huge natural gas that is currently being tapped by NIGERIA as we speak, Anambra has same. Imo , Anambra and Abia has crude oil and has also been poorly explored for new fields. Biafran government would do that. Ebonyi has huge deposit of limestones for cement industries to service Biafra construction sector and arable lush green and erosion free lands for mechanized government private partnership agricultural revolution that would see BIAFRA not only be food sufficient but an exporter of agricultural products.
ENUGU is our administrative headquarters and a real estate heaven. It also has good arable lands. The biggest landmass in Igboland.

Apart from that, Ndiigbo have a very skilful and highly resourceful diaspora population who would have pour in forex into the new nation in form of remittances and investments once Biafran government make favorable policies.

I had done an analysis on economic Viability of Igboland here:https://www.nairaland.com/6570415/argument-economic-viability-alaigbo

Mind you, I am an Igbo nationalist who believe in strictly Igbo republic between Igbos in SE and those in SS. However, that doesn't mean that I am not open to Multiethnic Biafra with friendly minorities around Ndiigbo, as far as terms an. Conditions of such union are well ironed out.

richmond500:
Na democracy deh make u spit nonsense, Abacha would have level u all with brute strength

OBJ even levelled Odi Bayelsa in a democracy.

richmond500:
which Ipob doesn't have, its not by having AK 47 o.
6 fighter jets, 5,000 foot soldiers and 12 tankers will destroy the enter Ipob population

Problem being that IPOB are not a conventional ARMY. So how do you single them out from the sympathetic Igbo society?
You going to commit another genocide?

Either way, you are making my point obvious.
IPOB must be sure they have potent air defense system before they can go toe to toe with FG.

FarahAideed:
Does Nigeria have war planes ? You are a clown

They do.
Maybe outdated scraps from WW2.
But they are better than none.

richmond500:
21st century war is decided by who has the most sophisticated weapons, this is not the days of Alexander the great, a war plane with two pilots can wipe out 1000 fighters

Not if the opponents have good air defence system.
That warplane would be grounded in matter of minutes by rains of projectiles.

richmond500:
Nigerian Army sacked 3m soldiers recently, just so u know

Stop lying.
NIGERIA has 310,900 active military personnel and reserve of 89,000.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Armed_Forces

Where will they get money to pay 3 million people?

OfoIgbo:
I understand what you are talking about here, but the reality is that war planes sales go on between governments, or war plane manufacturers and governments, usually supervised by defence ministries of the manufacturing countries, so war planes may be out of the reach of IPOB for the moment.

But guided missiles should be within the technical competence of IPOB with its wherewithal. With guided mid-range missiles, IPOB can take the war to the enemy.
IPOB can also send in crack commando troops to some of these locations to ensure no one is partying, if you know what I mean. But this will be much later as I don't think a force of 50,000 is enough to defend Biafra and engage on these long distance missions.

I see.
My concern is that in whatever they are doing, under no circumstances should anyone living outside Biafra be partying while cheering on their murderous troops.

As we bury our Dead, they should be burying theirs too.
As we live under fear of airstrikes, they should be living under same fears.
They should not be living in peace back home while they bring war to us in our homeland.

Mbanu!

amuwo1980:

Nigeria is no world power n times have changed

I'm talking about those condemning drug money.

No money is actually dirty, if you know what I mean.

cheruv:
Nwanne...
I'm not negating the need for an air force but acquiring them and maintaining them at the early stages might not be easy, moreover we'd to man them... And when they're shot down, the pilot goes down with it...
On the other hand, we can adopt the Hamas model... In which surface to surface missiles can be employed. So you see that whilst our air defence systems keep the NAF outta our skies, we rain death and destruction on the cities of the enemy using surface to surface missiles.
Iran and Russia are leaders in missile production, and they've ranges that can cover all the major cities, and also like Hamas, we can also mass produce them just like we did for ogbuniigwe

Sounds good.
If only we have a real Igbo think tank that IPOB has to be accountable to.
This think tank would have IPOB prove to them that they have capabilities for long range missles strikes on our enemies cities, such that for one bomb they throw on Enugu, we rain 20 on theirs. While our people bleed and cry, theirs will wail and roll on the floor in pool of blood.

It's only under the above conditions should we be engaging Nigerians again in war.

Because whenever I watch what we went through in Biafra in 1967-70, while Gowon was busy dancing awantilo and partying in Lagos and Kaduna, so much that he had time to get wedded in the same period and threw a big Party that the whole NIGERIA enjoyed while my mother was in a forest in Ojoto running away from Gowon sanctioned airstrikes on Biafran markets. I get angry at Ojukwu failures.

Such a thing should never happen again.
Our enemies should be able to be made to feel our pain too.
If IPOB and MNK can't guarantee that, then they are not the ones to win us this fight.
We might have to wait a bit more longer.

dallasi:
Will be removed abi.......? . Biafra may not be better for Niger Deltans because Niger Deltans may end up living one form of subjugation for another. The argument Igbos have made for their freedom is the desire to be free from Hausa-Yoruba domination. That argument also applies to the average Niger Deltan. Igbo, no doubt, will be the major ethnic group if Biafra is actualised. Ijaws may have a stake due to their numbers. What about the Ogonis, Urhobo-Isokos, Itsekiris, Efiks, etc? Where will they fit in at the national level? The sad reality is that another Nigeria will just be made manifest and resentments will build up. What will really be the fate of minorities? Will they fare better in Biafra or alone? In Nigeria, big groups such as Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo checkmate each other’s excesses very well. Who will checkmate that of Igbos in the new nation?

More like the three big groups are eternally irreconcilable and pull in opposite directions, leaving the country in a state of stagnation and retrogression.

Great countries always have one dominant progressive group, who Unites the rest around it's progressive ideology and agenda and sets the tone for the country transformation from developing to developed country.

Not that I am campaigning for Multiethnic Biafra. Naturally as an Igbo, I want an Igbo only country between Igbos in SE and proudly Igbo groups in SS.
But I had to dispel your wrong insinuation.

mrvitalis:
America used drug to build it's entertainment industry ....there is nothing like bad or good money just income

Your brothers still need their supply who are we to say no ?

Britain even went to war with China for China to open her seaports so that Britain can sell drugs(Opium) to Chinese people.

mrvitalis:
U can't use war planes for gurila war ...ask Cameroon

What is happening in Cameroon?

Ambazonia has been devastated.
I have one Ambazonian in my work place.
Many of them are refugees in Nigeria and neighboring central African countries.

Is that your strategy for us in Igboland?

Alusiizizi:
Hey,
I understand your grievance and you make good points but look a little closer, there is indeed a strategy. Cows and herdsmen were a platform to grow the ESN. The Nigerian army is not nearly as powerful as you imagine it to be and the ESN is an army of volunteers. Anonymity is an asset. Surprise is an asset. Those warplanes that terrify you so much, will they not eventually land(probably somewhere in the SE)? Not as if Nigeria has so many of them to begin with(26 last I checked). Even an eagle must eventually set foot to earth at some point. It is then that the attacks will come. When they are most vulnerable. So you see, the Nigerian army is just as handicapped as IPOB, perhaps even more so. Probably the reason why they have not yet won.

Victory to IPOB!!!
Victory to Biafra!!!
Victory to ESN!!!

Nwanne, I don't want to hear that Owerri, Enugu, Aba,Onitsha, Awka, Abakaliki are burning while people are living good life in Kano, Kaduna, etc.

We should be able to inflict maximum pain on them over there too. If they insist on bringing death to our cities again.
People should not be able to rain bombs on our heads without having to worry about bombs from us raining down on their wives and children back home. This should be basic law of group survival.

It is my belief that until we have acquired the ability to do the above, we should deescalate hostilities with Nigerian Military and quietly go on the drawing board.
We and Nigerians always knew since 1970 that a second Biafran war is a matter of when and not IF.
We have like forever to prepare for this. And it's not written anywhere that this our generation must win this war. We can lay down the solid foundation that would put the next generation in a very strong position of winning this coming war.

I don't favour or like our current odds against these people. We are by no means in a good position to sustain this for now.

We wanted to prove a point, and we have done that already, we should deescalate issues and IPOB and all concerned should go underground and provide answers to those questions I posed so that the coming generation will not have to deal with those same questions.

Because those were questions our parents had no answers for in 1967-70 and it's painful to note that we still don't have answers for them today.

Kings999:
God fight battles and win..
Why didn't Palestine airstrike hit isreal.. the God of isreal never let Palestine airstrike to hit isreal...

When a leader threat you, you have no option than to defend yourself...

Bet me no fulanis army sent to Igbo land will go back alive... They will all die miserable...

KEEP MY WORDS....

Delusional rantings.

No God won the battle for Israel.

Their advanced anti missle defense system neutralized all important Palestine missles on the air. It wasn't God that stopped the missles.

They didn't stop there too. They went on to give Palestinians a taste of their medicine by bombing Gaza and inflicting pains on Palestinians.

That's how you treat your enemies.
You don't just defend yourself from their attack.
You attack back and inflict on them the pain they sought to inflict on you.

cheruv:
Before IPOB start anything... They should ensure that they're 101% ready, so as to avoid the issues of the last war.
Regarding air defence, they dont really need planes... All they need is air defence systems which would be used to keep the NAF outta the skies. Egypt did successfully during the Yom Kippur war until the Israeli ground forces were able to neutralise those systems.
Moreover 50,000 men is good but not enough... We need at 100,000 to 450,000 men in order to successfully attack and defend simultaneously

Having warcrafts is important.
You can't have a situation where we are running from bombs in the East while people go on throwing owambe and have parties in Abuja and the rest of Nigeria.

We should be able to bring whatever chaos they brought to us back to them.
That's how you end wars.

USA ended the WW2 by basically dropping a nuke on Japan.

Imagine FG in East flexing muscles bombing Eastern cities and we went on counter mad leveled Kano, Kaduna and Abuja to stone age?

That would be practically game over!

That's what I'm talking about.
You can't keep always fighting on defense! You should be able to attack too.

Kings999:
LOL LET THEM SEND THE FULANIS TERRORIST ARMYS IN THE SOUTHEAST...
BUT I PROMISE YOU PEOPLE SOMETHING, THE GOD OF IGBOS WILL DISAPPOINT THEM, THEY WILL ALL DIE MISERABLE... IGBOS WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONGER, EVEN IF WE FAILED TO GET BIAFRA NOW OUR CHILDREN WILL CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR BIAFRA...
IF NOT THE TERRORIST FULANIS THERE WILL BE NO ESN AND IF NOT FOR THE INNOCENT PEOPLE KILLED IN OBIGBO THERE WILL BE NO UGM..
THE MORE YOU KILL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE THE MORE YOU CREATE MORE BEAST, DON'T FORGET ALL IGBOS ARE BIAFRANS, IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT BIAFRANS GET READY TO KILL THE IGBOS..
GOD BLESS MNK
GOD BLESS ESN
GOD BLESS IGBOS
GOD BLESS BIAFRA....

Don't be stupid.

Gods don't fight and win battles.

Humans fight battles and those with superior strategy and weapons to deploy them win in the end.

If MNK and IPOB are going to engage FG in combat.
They have to show Ndiigbo where they parked their warcrafts, where their trained pilots for them are, where they kept their unlimited supply of weapons.
Where is their advanced agricultural system in SE that would ensure we have steady supply of foods all through.
Where is their air defense systems to bring down NIGERIAN WW1 archaic flying metal scraps from air and to stop their missles from hitting our markets.

How do they plan to bomb places like Kano, Abuja and other strategic Northern towns in retaliation should FG rain bombs on Igbo cities.

These are questions we had no answers for in 1967-70.

And if MNK and IPOB have no answers for them 51years later, then they should go and take a chill somewhere.

They should not start what they are incapable of sustaining let alone finishing. They should stop this social media stupid braggadocios. It will help no one in Igboland.

bigpriik:
Ipobs are not illiterate when jungle mature allies go show

That's not a strategy.
Hope and expectations are never a strategy.

No ally will show when you start a war and on the back foot with no plans.

None!

This was how Kanu was busy instructing Igbo youths in Obiigbo to hide in the bush when Nigerian Army went on door to door search catching and killing them.

Kanu had no plans. He was on Twitter tagging UN, USA, etc, crying genocide.

That's not a man with plans.

We all want Biafra. But I see no plans or strategic planning in IPOB and MNK that shows even a glimpse of him being capable of outmaneuvering Nigerian Military in open combat. None so far.

If you are looking at this whole scenario with an independent mindset,you would reach same conclusion.

Telling everyone to pick guns and start fighting NIGERIAN Military and police because the army of the Dead,aka Fulani heardsmen are heading our way, is no strategy.

There has to be a long term well drawn out strategy.
I see none from MNK and IPOB.

bigpriik:
Vietnam never had war planes war no sure for anybody sha

Vietnam had China and Russia as allies.

Those are two world powers.

We don't even have minorities as allies, let's not talk about world powers. Those lots(minorities) are still Igbophobic and licking their lips patiently for another opportunity for abandoned property part 2.

If the significance of what happened in May 31st sit at home order where only Asaba and Obiigbo complied while the rest of SS went about their daily business haven't brought you lots to reality, then I'm sure some of you are hell bent on destroying Igbo land.

Does IPOB have war planes?

If No! Then do they atleast have air defense systems to bring down NIGERIAN war planes and missles in Mass and successfully?

If the answer is still No!

Then even 50million rag tag soldiers cannot help IPOB.

No be by making empty noise in social media, when trouble starts now, we find out that MNk and IPOB have no plans other than to start tagging UN, EU, AU,ECOWAS, USA, ISRAEL , etc on social media while crying like babies.

The world is too busy if you can't help yourself.
Syria , Palestine, Myanmar Muslims,Tibet, Kurdistan, Chechyna, etc.
The world watched it all happen and nothing was done.
Take what happened in Obiigbo as a dress rehearsal. Nothing has happened so far, no culprits brought to Justice, people are missing their loved ones in Obiigbo till today.

MNK and IPOB better be serious and don't waste anyone's time if they don't have resources for this. There are so much at stake here for them to have no plans but social media rantings and wailing on Twitter when bodies of Igbos starts pilling up.

As far as this ENOA state stays in SE.
It has my support.
Anything else, will and should be resisted.

BTW. They should find a way and include Egbema in Rivers State into the ENOA map.

CSTRR:
Strategically, Akwa ibom and Cross River are even more essential to any biafra nationhood than igbos in Delta, portharcourt, or wherever.

Yes.
More strategic is even North Cross River minorities.
They give access to Ambazonia.

People differ in life disposition.
Some people are leaders while some are followers.

Pique and Pep Guardiola are passionate Catalonia independence advocates and never fail to use the platform their football stardom offered them to promote Catalonia independence.

On the other hand, Fabregas, Pedro, Busquets, etc are Catalans too, who you would never see promote Catalonia independence or with the flag.

The difference is clear. Pep and Pique are from Catalan families who were core members of Catalonia independence and grew up with support of that group hence feel indebted to them.

Instead of worrying about Iheanacho and Ndidi who are playing for second tier Leicester and who got there with support of NIGERIA and hence feel indebted to Nigeria.
IPOB can raise their own elite football players that would put them on world stage.

There are many talented footballers in streets of Aba, Onitsha,Owerrei, Abakaliki, Enugu, etc who are pro Biafra, but lack sponsors to go for trials abroad to kick start their footballing career.

IPOB can poach these guys Early and sponsor their football career in Europe.
Support them until they get to the top.
If you start this program with 30 carefully scouted Igbo talented footballers, atleast 4 will make it to top European leagues in the next few years where they can now use their platform to sell your Biafra Agenda.

This is common sense.
But we don't like thinking in this part of the world, we prefer wailing.

I agree with OP.
San Marino is a land locked country with just 32,000 citizens.
Isoko is landlocked but has up to 1 million people and rich in crude oil and Natural gas.
They have all it takes to be an independent country if they desire it.

kabillionaire:

You were in a hurry to type rubbish and incites hatred abi?

For your information, no Tiv man hates Igbo.

It's the Igbos that keep on reminding and blaming the Tiv for participating and fighting on the side of the Nigerian govt. in the Biafran war.

Keep quiet.
Not only did the Tivs serve as foot soldiers to the North in invading Biafra during the war, Tivs participated in the Igbo progrom before the war.
Many Igbos who escaped the far North enroute to SE were waylaid and Massacred by Tivs and Idomas to please your Hausa-Fulani masters.
You have to accept your sins against Ndiigbo first and foremost before we can move forward.

If it were the Tiv fighting for Takuruku Republic as a strictly Tiv affairs, on whose side would the Igbos fight then?

Nope we wouldn't join you to fight for your Takuruku republic, but we wouldn't join your enemies to fight you.
Even during Tiv riots before the war, Igbo soldiers sent to quell the uprising did all they can to make sure Tivs were not killed unnecessarily. I think it was o
Onwuatuegwu that was the Igbo officer in charge of that campaign.

Simply because you're 2 years old in Makurdi, you start jumping to conclusions.

If the Tiv so much hates the Igbos, how come you find them in the most interior of Tiv villages?

The Igbos are even in interior villages of Boko Haram infested Borno.
Igbos being in Tivland has nothing to do with you hating or loving Igbos. Igbos don't go to a place because people love or hate us, we go to a place there are needs to meet in return for money for solving the need.
Don't be like the Yorubas with their accommodation mantra.

I did my NYSC in the East, I know first hand what you guys are capable of ...yet still, I don't have anything against you guys ...at least nothing personal.

Be more specific, what did Igbos do to you during your service year?

Coming online and posting what you just did is a disservice to the very people that have been hosting you hospitably for the past 2 years.

Nnaa, no one is hosting anyone in Nigeria. This is the one NIGERIA you all fought for. Someone can't be hosted in his supposed country.

When you sit in a beer parlour in Makurdi and brings out the Igbo ego in you to argue whether the Tiv hates the Igbos or not, let me advise you; when you notice something in someone, it's a mirror of your

Ego and ego can hardly agree with each other. Calm down, enjoy your stay in Benue state and leave, but if you choose to stay, you're welcome.

What ego are you talking about? Are suffering from complex issues?
