When you talk of poverty in Nigeria after the north comes Yoruba.

Diademk07:
Lmao.

As if it was Awolowo that made the plan..

BTW, blame your foolish ancestors who couldn't provide bank statements to prove the money they had in the banks. Eediots who wanted our banks to go bankrupt by giving every ibos who claim to have money without their proof of bank statement. It's not like we were the one who sent you on your suicide mission.

And have you asked about what Zik did with ibo allocations that was sent into his bank account? If you really want to know who made you poor, look no far from Zik.

Story, Awolowo plan did not work,accept it, his plan was to make Igbos poor but it backfired.

Origamist:
Biafrans never thought they would be returning to Nigeria.
Such details were hardly committed to mind.
Most emptied their accounts before relocating.

Are you reasonable? Yorubas are criminaly minded.so with my account name and account number, you can't check how much is in my account? Today Igbos are better than yoruba

Origamist:
what the author of the article is saying is that 20 Pounds were given to those who could not provide evidence of having money in Nigerian banks.

But the widely held belief is that every Igbo received 20 Pounds regardless of their savings.

"The bottom line here is that the issue of this 20 pound gift has become an instrument of blackmail in the hands of Biafran leaders like Achebe who would try to avoid responsibility for the harm they caused their own people. They had to look for someone to blame and Obafemi Awolowo came handy for this. How can any Igbo blame others for losing his Bank Statement? If they could not substantiate their claims in regard to their balances, how did they expect to be paid? Or did they think the rest of Nigerians were fools who would rush to pay any spurious claims they make? Granted that the war could have caused the loss of some documents, why would this be the fault of Awolowo? Is this not a sign of irresponsibility on the part of Achebe and other leaders of Biafra?"

The excerpt above sums it up.

Go to google, and ask. Ojukwus father has his own bank

SonofDevil:
Incase you don't read

How come ojukwu was able to recover his father properties and savings in bank account and other biafrans collect 20pounds

We don't believe in criminals [quqote author=Okwuy09 post=58350222]The biafra agitation for the dividing of the country. By allowing them to leave led by NNAMDI KANU. Should listen to the formal governor of abia state on what he have to say. The formal governor of abia state ORJI UZOR KALU.

On his speech on T.V program disclose that, If IPOB will be a reality, I Orji Uzor Kalu should have led IPOB, Not Nnamdi Kanu"

He went to the extent of visiting the British government on the issue of divding the country. But they said it cant be divided. Orji Uzor Kalu former Governor of Abia State on his speech.

Truth is better

ProWalker:
Just like your god Ojukwu returned to Nigeria as a gambari slave. Look in the mirror, who you see standing in front of you is the Nigeria slave
Osu
If you want to go, get the hell out of Nigeria and stop causing confusion daily

We are not like your fathers that accepted to be slaves. Unity beggars

ProWalker:
The fools will never learn from history but will prefer their own experience to learn.

The whole world will know how serious and ready Biafrans are

macjive01:
Can you name one thing IPOB will achieve with that ?

#NoElectionInSouthEast

Aliskywalker:
There is a party called United Progressive Party (UPP) now in Anambra state, and they are the party to keep an eye out for. I don't think Biafra agitators need a new party which will only create more controversy, they should simply find and align their interests with a truly progressive party. One with a strategy which is youth-oriented and transparent.

And you think INEC will allow the biafran party to win? No to election in southeast

macjive01:
First i must appreciate the new vigor Nnamdi Kanu has injected into the conscience of Nigerians in general about the way forward for the country.
Restructuring
Separation into fractions.

As an Igbo man, and a pan African, i am not a strong supporter of Nnamdi Kanu and his aggitation.
But when i see the way Lagos state and Abuja drains the resources of this country it annoys me to no end.

Why does a trader in Aba have to import his shoe gum through lagos seaport, then cargo it 700km to Aba to use on his shoes. then having to cargo the finished product same 700 kilometers to lagos to export.
Every business man will tell you it makes no economic sense.
His profit margin is eroded greatly from the internal cargoing.

At some point his patriotism to his state will run out and he moves his little business to lagos to save on the huge expenses incurred from internal cargoing plus bad road etc. Aba losses becomes Lagos gain.

Similar is replicated across most businesses.
Innocent motors will probably make a higher returns if his business was set up in lagos axis (including neighbouring Ogun state)

Seaport is a gigantic costly project , not one to be easily built by a state. Hence why it is imperative that the FG put effort to build one on the Eastern coast. But they won't. They want that reliance on the rest of the country- west.


Currently the planned Railway by this present administration has completely sidelined the southeast zone again, meaning this zone will for the foreseeable future be disadvantaged. The shoe manufacturer in Aba will for a long time have to rely on the states with the rail access to cargo his products to the National Seaport located in Lagos for export.

How long will he endure the stress and additional cost incurred before he moves to the nearby state with the rail? or even lagos? Only to be abused by the yorubas he is running away from mud soil, erosion ravaged evil forest?

The current situation favours the Yoruba man, with Lagos being in Yoruba land. proximity spreads the development to other nearby states. evident is the increase IGR of ogun state. That Aba manufacturer would probably end up in Ogun state- with ogun state having cheaper land and close enough to The national seaport in Lagos.

Nnewi has lost the motor spare parts and electronics business to Lagos-that's tradefair complex, Idumota, Alaba international, Aspanda,. Thats over a million direct and indirect jobs - imagine the taxes? the ripple effects it would have had on Nnewi?
from resturant, hotels, taxi, Housing... everythings would have been touched.
As recent as 30 years ago these business were all firmly in Nnewi. Lagos traders went to Nnewi to buy motor spare parts. My uncles in Gabon, Congo, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea flew to Nnewi every wednesday through Portharcourt airport to buy spare parts.
Now all those are history.


... It pains me to keep narrating our losses due to these unfair share of national infrastructure. And with the current adminstrator these marginization its not going to end anytime soon, rather it will be increased, with his 97%- 5%. And even if a Yoruba was to become next president, he will get pressured by his people not to build the necessary infrastructure in the east, as the statusquo favours the Yoruba states with proximity to lagos.
Probably why OBJ is canvassing for the assassination of Nnamdi kanu- Many Yorubas want the statusquo firmly.


The East had an opportunity with GEJ, but that was thrown away, primarily becos of the man GEJ was. Had no backbone , no vision. A president for 6 years and he couldnt construct the most important road for the South-south region - East-west road.

He awarded the building of Egina FPSO build project to samsung group with a condition that it was assembled in Bayelsa - right under his slumber eyes - the yoruba led group that won it -(local content) switched the location to lagos.

He stood and watch Sambo push out Nnaji -one of the few performing ministers under his administration.

He sack Avaition woman- who was actively renovation over 6 airports same time- she didnt embezzle money, she misappropriated funds- bought official bullet proof car- when she shouldnt. That being a reason to sack an otherwise performing minister in a country where Pension fund is stolen by one person and he walks about freely. Oil block- national sovereignty is stolen and own by one person.

Just you know- after she was sacked- those 6 airports she was renovating stopped. not an inch of plaster, lick of paint have touched those airports since she was made to resign or sacked.

This goes to tell you the kind of person GEJ was.
A big disappointment to most people in the East- including Bayelsans. ( people still voted him at the election as there was no alternative)

Hence for the East, especially the Igbos and also the Southsouth people who dont have any pipeline security contract, the odds and their future and children future is so bleak. when next will an Eastern (SE/SS) person become a president? By the way GEJ was sheer luck. when will such luck repeat itself again?

Mathematically it will be difficult for an Igbo man to rule this country- Rochas keep deceiving yourself. The North has 19 states plus FTC, they will naturally oppose an Igbo man- who will undoubtedly nationalize the oil well for a start. They dont want that cos they own the oil wells.

Then the Yorubas- why should they vote an Igbo man?
A man who would built a seaport in Portharcourt, Akwaibom.
Mandate the oil companies to move to their states of operations.
Complete Enugu and Portharcourt airport and make it actively functional international airports.

These actions will cripple lagos- they yorubas would rather elect an illiterate aboki man than elect an igbo man who has the pedegree to move the nation forward- cos moving the nation forward in an igbo man's eyes is balancing the spread of national infrastructure. The current Lagos focussed allocation of national infrastructure develops Lagos and the nearby yoruba states.

The odds are firmly against the Igbos.

Hence why i think Separation is the only alternative for the Igbos. Better with our brothers and neighbours around us. However, if they would rather not join us, the Igbos should still pursue a separation with the igbos in rivers, delta, Benue and Kogi, and Edo.

The unnegotiable issue we must insist on, is the access to sea through igbo communities in Rivers state.
without this, the new country will be at the mercy of Rest of Nigeria. That we must strive to avoid.



HOW DO WE ACHIEVE A SEPARATE COUNTRY? BIAFRA?


I think Nnamdi kanu has done the big step which is create and raise the awareness, but he and the IPOBs need to think inward now.

No matter how many demonstrations they carry out
No matter how many election boycott he succeeds in
No matter how many other countries support he gains

Rest of Nigeria will not give him a referendum, if it was given will be rigged, surprisingly with the same Igbos.
Money talks, firstly. And the support for Biafra is not absolutely. My own estimate there are a good 30% who are scared of uncertainty or heartedly will favour to remain in Nigeria.

Hence they ONLY way will be through the ballot.
restrategise the IPOB into regional party- like the SNP- Scottish National Party.

Have achieving Biafra as a prime point in the manifesto.

When the party wins elections in the states of interests that will be a good gauge of support. how much support.

When a state is won, IPOB will have the state's apparatus and machinaries to start a Biafran nation building while under Nigeria.

Designating/planning / building for mass housing for the expected influx of returnees into the new Nation- Biafra.

Securing food production for the new nation.- setting up massive farms - feed stock and live stock.
use the Fulani herdsmen menace as an opportunity to create 10,000 cattle farm that can feed a nation. Build four.

Use the state media infrastructures to relay the IPOB message and get more people prepared for the eventual referendum.

Lets not waste the opportunity of the upcoming Anambra election.
IPOB should take over a party- there are hundred of dead parties they can take over-
Apply for a name change to something more relevant to the struggle like Freedom party, independence party, Liberty, etc
And start the campaign and mobilization.

Biafran can be achieved without a gun shot or unnecessary death from demonstration.

Stop deceiving yourself, can you come out openly and tell people that you graduated with 3rd class? Hard work pays. Give your best in everything you do. A good CGPA will make you proud of yourself

paradigmshift:
nothing will Happen.
those with the lowest cgpa gat d best job.
fuk cgpa , life is not by result.

Even Ojukwu cannot calm biafra. Biafra is a religion when what you are saying is not what we want to hear,we neglect you. Get that into your head

Esseite:
The only man i see who can bring unity back to Nigeria... not as president, but as a strong elder states man..

Everyone who castigated and insulted him have been given a political position including the president, and guess what.. they are all clueless

-He would calm the militants..
-He would calm the Biafrans..
-The hausa/fulani have seen for themselves..
-The west might not, not because they dont know the truth but because they know deep down they went too far with political opposition..

If we ever want unity back to this country, get Jonathan involved... he exudes peace and unity across borders without mincing a word.

You are too foolish to be taken serious. Buhari is the most corrupt president Nigeria ever had. During recession, he supported Hilary Clinton with $500million, during USA election. The same person that said abacha never stole any money from Nigeria. The level of illiterate politicians emerging from the north is the problem of the ZOO

buharichild:
u are an enemy of state, Do u know he's the best leader dat as ever emerged from Nigeria b4

Go and ask your ancestors what happen at ore. The biafran War was between biafra Vs yoruba+hausa+british government, even Yoruba and Hausa join together cant defeat igbo, Igbos built there own weapons during the biafran war, but Nigerian government where receiving ammunition from Britain. In conclusion Yoruba Alone or Hausa can not defeat Igbos in a war

intruxive:
Your answer,2 names
Adekunle, obasanjor
Go home and ask ur grandfather or if ur father is old enough what those 2 men did to them during biafra war

Can Yorubas defeat Igbos in a war?

intruxive:
If any single grey air falls from OBJ's head these people will know the civil war was a rehearsal.
Shey they think our meekness is weakness ba, toh.
Nuff said
We don't insult/threaten our elders anybody who does should know the jokes ends there

ApC= failure

This is a new approach and I think I will adopt it.

Why is it that there is no seaport or international airport in South east or south south. The fear of Igbos is the beginning of wisdom.they wanted to bury us not knowing we are seed.

When did radio biafra start? Use your 10mb well

FisifunKododada:
When GEJ was President Kanu did not make noise about Biafra. Why was Kanu quiet during GEJ era but making noise everywhere now that Buhari is president? If Tinubu is a hypocrite then kanu is a CHIEF hypocrite and liar. Shikena

The only man Hausa Fulani take serious. The language Nigeria enjoy

If you are sure then speak out. Tell the federal government to allow Igbos go, I will like to see how lazy people like Yorubas make a country

Dumaknesset:
Just that you know Biafra exit will make Lagos State alone the second richest country in Africa. I can't just wait for you guys to gerrarhear men! There is billions of Naira to be made by your exit.

Charge and bail lawyer, what do you know. I thought you guys said Igbos where not the ones that developed Lagos? For your information, if loose there properties in the west, Yorubas will lose there property all over the world.

Dumaknesset:
When I say Igbos don't think things through, you would not believe me, so you have not thought about it, yet you want secession.

I am a lawyer and here is a legal dimension.

First note that all lands in Nigeria by virtue of the Land Use Act, 1978 is owned by the state, federal government and local government accordingly. Developed parts are owned by the state through the state governor, the undeveloped parts are owned by the local government, while those areas acquired by federal government are owned by the Federal government.

Individuals and even corporate organizations are mere tenants to the the real owners, the governments! hence, the issuance of cofo, consent, excision, ratifications et al.

Once a property is abandoned as it will be, when the biafrans bolt, the properties will revert to the real owners that is the state government, local government or federal government vide a legal principle called bona vacantia.

Note the legal principle of quic quid plantatur solo solo cedit, he who owes the land owes what is on it, all the developments on the lands become that of the real owner.

All the biafrans properties will become that of Lagos state government, it will be the largest real estate deal in the world since igbos own 90 percent of real estate in Lagos state and Afonjas only own 0.2 percent of real estate in the east.

So blogging is now a regional thing? Chai. Coming to competition. can you ask yourself why awolowo seized igbos money after the civil war, what is his plan? Today between Igbos and Yorubas who is better? About developing other place, Igbos are adventurous in nature unlike the lazy Yoruba omonile, waiting for and igbo man to buy their land so they can collect agent fee.no matter how you analyse it, Igbos are better than Yorubas before and after the civil war.why is the federal government afraid of international airport or seaport in the east or south south? That is why we are interested in Nnamdi kanu the nightmare of AFONJAS.thank you

Gazzy88:
Linda ikeji and Nairaland? I give up on you for this... The real question is...why are you Igbos always envying and trying hard to outshine Yoruba when you know deep down you that we ain't mate? Why are you guys always everywhere in Yorubaland when you know we have low reasoning abilities as you mumu claims? Linda ikeji I don't know,Nairaland I know. Meanwhile that your Linda blog also got popular in the west,why didn't she start her blog in your caves up there? My Nairaland is in the west anyway and I'm proud of that. Tell your aunty Linda to move to east and watch how her blog dies a natural death. Intelligent indeed maybe you should recheck the meaning of intelligence and affirm it. Your intelligence has made your tribe a minority group from majority. Your same intelligence made you lots not to develop your region but developing others. Your same intelligence made over 40m Igbo's become a pet project for nnamdi KANU after nwazurike has scammed the living day out of you lots during that his Biafra passport oddysey. Abeg shift... Ajurawalo ti ijakadi ko....

Please tell us we want to know

Jabioro:
You called yourself students of histories , or you created yours suited record.. Your acclaimed was so faulty you forgot to tell us how the igbos made their money.. Just keep your twisted history to your heart

And you decided to be the Mouthpiece of the million Igbos doing business outside igbo land? Help yourself brother

ProWalker:
He is only headache and nightmare to millions of igbos living and doing business outside ibo land

An average Yoruba is a tought,what do you expect from them

Agumbankembu:
I read all the comments on the thread, and saw Biafrans weren't even commenting on their thread, they were having a wankfest of themselves there.

Let the tables turn and see how they will spam all Biafrans threads.

Their case is something else, I have never seen that kind of unexamined life

The only language we understand is Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra, any other thing is story.

Who is the highest award winner in Nigeria. Dora akunyeli, is she a Yoruba? Upcoming fool

Gazzy88:
Wole Soyinka ate same ewedu and became the first African to win a Nobel prize while non,I repeat non,of your kinsmen has moved any inch closer to that infamous achievement. Oponu dede

Browse about an igbo boy who sold an app to apple for $2billion, that's one. Who is the first blogger in Nigeria? Can you compare Linda ikeji blog and nairaland? Your reasoning is too poor. Do you know the most intelligent black race? Respect igbos

Gazzy88:
If Afonja doesn't reason like you blurted out,then there wouldn't be a Nairaland which you frustrated Igbos flood in droves to on a daily basis...with that Afonja still controls your destiny. Or have you easily forgotten Nairaland belongs to an Afonja? Mumu Igbos...

102 days out of 108

Do you mean kanu the nightmare of AFONJAS? That guy is a headache to the ZOO!

mekaboy:
I know kanu is over 40, but there is still hope for him.
