Seriously there's absolutely nothing stupid about what I wrote except that you totally misunderstood me. You see something ehn I like to think broadly. I am no tribalist. It's not in my blood. I don't know how to think that way. If you penetrate to the depths of what I wrote you'd see that all I am saying is let's understand others. You have spoken about your culture. Fine. Excellent accommodating culture. But another man's culture is not like that. For now all you can do is to understand it and know how to adjust yourself to it. The non indigene who has stayed in your village and yet decides to kill what you guys hold as sacred is not wise. That you guys can be so gracious is a testament to your sense of sympathetic understanding and broad- mindedness . But another man's culture has not gotten to that level yet where he would place human life above the teetotal demands of his religion. So what would you as a wise man do? Would you just say ohhhhhh this is my country, I have every right and then you'd go drink in such a way as to be utterly disrespectful of their religion, a religion that forbids drinking and regards it as a crime? Particularly during their fasting? Mind you I am not saying non-Muslims in the North should not drink but they should be wise about it. Those who have stayed in the North including your Igbo brothers (that's if you are Igbo) know better.

And do not rest your case on the constitution. Arid legality creates problems if not applied with sense. I know what I am saying. All I am saying is understand others, understand others. Am I a Biafran? No! Do I understand the undercurrents driving the clamour? Yes(even if not fully). Would it be wise for me in view of how emotional, fanatical and religiously fired you guys get over this issue for me to go into Ipob areas and on the basis of freedom of speech start telling them that Biafra would not work, that it is doomed? By the time you hear the story of my death at the hands of ipob you won't say ooohh I was exercising my right. You'd most probably, with so much good feeling, say good for that Ndi Ara, that Ewu Gambia. I might have stood on the law but I'd be dead. Too late.

Just this weekend I read a very interesting interview Azikiwe gave in the seventies. He said after he had gotten Ojukwu to convince at least four heads of state to bring up the Biafran issue to be discussed by the OAU so as to get Gowon to come to the round table, at the OAU Awolowo raised the objection based on INTERNATIONAL LAW (and Azikiwe in that interview conceded that Awolowo was right) that OAU charter does not permit OAU to delve into the internal Affairs of member states and that was how that opportunity to save lives was destroyed on the altar of Legal puritanism. Here's the link to that interview https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/my-role-in-the-civil-war-by-zik/119382.html

So yes on the constitution you are right but common sense demands that knowing the kind of people you are dealing with you'd be wise to comport yourself in a way that would not constitute an affront to their religious sensibilities. And then drink and enjoy your beer.

In court we lawyers have the right to speak yet seniors at the bar would tell young hot heads 'know your judge'. My brother know your host biko. Cheers

sarahade:
Why are you mapping territories that doesn't belong to your ancestors .

Mujtahida:
It's easy these days to just insult people. What is more difficult is to not insult, to show restrain, to go above the baseness of the mass mind. I have been in the mud of e-wars and I am going clean and not even you can bring me down to that level any more. Cheers.

sarahade:
Lol come and remove us o.
Clueless people

Mujtahida:
Why is it so difficult for people to understand things. So in other words when you have Biafra you will respect their culture there because you are foreigners and they are foreigners to you? As in while you cannot respect (according to you because of the constitution) the culture in the North as Igbo Nigerians, you will respect it as Biafrans in the North of Nigeria when Biafra becomes a reality? Constitution? Don't you have commonsense? This is your logic: Nigerians should not respect the culture of other Nigerians because we are all Nigerians but foreigners should respect the culture of all Nigerians because they are foreigners.

I am shaking my head. No wonder we are in this mess. Please how old are you-no vex-cos I like to interact with matured minds. I am shocked at your logic.

sarahade:
Mumu na tribe una add for your Biafra map.
Itsekiri ogbeni and we don't speak igbo.

4everGrand:
For the IBOs that are reasonable I think they should make their stance public, and I think this is the route this dude is taking.

It does not do the IBO nation good if they all are coming across as hateful and silly kids.

Some Ibos I know are ok upstairs, and they would need to show that they believe in Nigeria.

Btw, how do secessionists think Nigeria would divide along? Foolish thinking.

wirinet:
The problem i have with you guys is that you guys are too emotional. Instead of making your demands clear and unambiguous and use diplomatic, political and other legal means to air your grievances and how to achieve your demands, you guys resort to complaining, insults and sometimes outright threats. The south east have 5 governors, 15 Senators and 60 House of rep members, have you guys made your grievances known to them? Have you made official complaints to both the Federal and State Governments on the so called siege on the south east? Have you guys held protest complaining of the excess military and police presence in the South East?

You guys always accuse others of hating on you guys, but it is you guys that throws the most insults on social media, it is you guys that involve other people who are not interested in your agitations. You guys call minority tribes in the Nigerdelta slaves, you insult Bini people, you call Yorubas all sorts of names, you call Northerners cows, and all sorts of unprintable names, and you are here talking about others hating.

naturalman:
Peter's wife is Old and always covering her face with make up.....

Yemi minus her make up is not beautiful..

Omotola is just like an average Igbo girl..

I served in the east and I know what I am saying...

Go to their rural areas and you will see beautiful girls in the village roaming around....when is say beautiful,I mean beautiful...

Ask any copper who served in the east, if it was possible for him to easily leave after service year

soberdrunk:
Maazi Kanu!! Sharp guy!! He has been able to manipulate some weak minded and intellectually backward individuals into believing that he is taking them to the "promise land', some extremely myopic individuals even see him as the 'messiah'! I cannot entirely blame them because of the situation of the country, to a 'desperate' man any other option is a "better" option........

Funlord2:
Ipob youths right now!

Businessideas:
Usual ipob Youth with their poor upbringing always disgracing the Igbos online.I will rather kill myself than be united with children of hate like you.

najoke:
Abeg have you guys picked a date for exodus of igbos… if no… .abeg make una do quick and stop wasting time

vicadex07:
Abokkkki say make you comot him region u dey vex. Who come be the real unity beggar

Businessideas:
The op is not helping matters. We all need one another and no single nation can be an island onto itself especially a fabled Biafra that would be encircled by Nigeria because it has no direct access to the sea.
There are northerners in Igboland who are contributing to the peace and prosperity of Igboland and vice versa for the northerners.
Let there be peace in our nation.long live Nigeria.

OJUcrook:
Turaki Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar knows that the ibos have a very weak emotion and can be easily manipulated. He has catched in on the Kaduna Declaration Saga to further score cheap campaign points and ingratiate himself before the ibos ahead of his 2019 presidential ambition

These animals in the north think they can threaten us with war. I say bring it on

I don't give a fvck about these northern Christians. When the time comes they will still unite with their Muslim counterparts to oppress the south

bendike:
lolz. I am half caste or mixed race

bendike:
Can igbo and youruba simply unite and find things in common since we are both similar, share the same aspirations etc.. heck I am ibo. My mum is yoruba, wife na yoruba. I dont understand a word of ibo but speak yoruba!

conductor2:
Address the question. Northerners are mostly indifferent. I've seen many of them saying Igbos should go.

Why are the algae-eating people of s.waste hating on Igbos their masters and still afraid to let them go?

HungerBAD:
These people dey lie sha.

Leave foreigners wey una dey lie with,make una tell us how many Nigerians wan even monitor una anniversary?

None.

Yeye Liars.

EazyMoh:
Madam park well! She also got married in this same 21st century we are in.

prettyboi1989:
they should be ready to have their own country. i think it will be nice to have a North nigeria and south nigeria as two different countries. the northern elders can enjoy their desert.

GeneralOjukwu:
I agree with you, sir.

Kuje beans seemed to have reset Kanu's brains to factory settings.

What we need is a UNITED SOUTH. Let us all speak with one voice

Imstrong:
And who are those that have this perfectionist tendencies.....


Melancholies!!

KidsNEXTdoor:
Without others I will die
I know my tribe is lazy
Tell me why I shouldn't beg for unity
I watch out for any biafran or nnamdi kanu thread to spam it and cause chaos
Since that guy left prison .. I no longer sleep well at night

Iam a christain..
Majority of my people are Muslims
They worship the feet of sokoto sultan without thinking when they themselves will produce a sultan for others to follow too
Imagine if the Ipobs leave us
These people will declare an Islamic state here... And practice their sharia

So brothers and sisters
Why won't I beg for unity even if it means my survival
A look at our nations army logo says it all
It has an Arabic inscription which says power belong to Allah... Tell me why not in English that we all speak and understand
So we all in this together
Call me a unity beggar
I don't care... Just want to survive

jkfugghhghjdd:
If they need population should comfortably merge with their kith and kin in Niger Republic and Chad, afterrall that's where they import many of the almajiri voters and blood sucking herds men (according to vegetable)
