Fed govt is desperate to drag Nnamdi Kanu down, yet the man is busy growing stronger every day by day. How can you pay some miscreants money to say something against Kanu like you paid some hausas and my Yoruba Muslim brothers to engage in "I support Buhari protest" that took place in Abuja some days ago, saying that they are from Niger Delta while they don't know where SS is located in Nig map.?

[b]This desperate steps by Fed govt won't stop Biafra from coming.
[/b]Biafra must come and we Yorubas must have our Oduduwa too, whether my muslim brothers like it or not. They can relocate to north if they don't want Oduduwa.
God bless my mentor, Adeyinka Grandson.

Below are the pictures of the so called Niger Delta youths that couldn't spell the names of their tribes correctly.
Shameless and desperate govt !!

Modified..... That first person that quoted me is my Yoruba brother but he's a Muslim . They are the least intelligent set of people in Yoruba land and they are very proud to exhibit their ignorance wherever they go..We Christians are ahead of them in all ramifications and they have chosen to drag us back in SW. There is nothing like Ogini but Ogoni.

Exposure is very important.

jared007:
I don't really understand Ipob's plan if election doesn't hold on November in Anambra state. What govt is gonna be controlling the state if they eventually succeed with "No-November Election?"

Bizibi:
but you guys believed them in the last admin......you have been very vocal any time they tweet something abt gej.
Are they not credible again?

limeta:
Where will yr mother and sisters be at that time
You worry about that

With ak47 on my left hand rapist like you will see me and run

limeta:
Slowly but surely
This is more like the real ting
Biafra can't be stopped now
Afonjas cant work this out they pretend every thing is okay

kenic:
I am not against his agitation or the Kanu of a guy but he's making everything seem like a joke. Lol

Till now you don't know Biafra is a joke? A movement of rickshaw and motorcycle riders, do you expect any better?

MadCow1:
I am an illiterate for calling out the foolishness of a law? I am not in the mood tonight to exchange words with you. Your feelings are your right to have.

MadCow1:
Why is this Camouflage thing still a Law in this Nation? How is this considered appropriate in a nation of civilised people?


I have seen photos of Senator Dino wearing a Camouflage and Governor Fayose wearing camouflage and nobody harassed them. Why is it okay for the people in Government positions to break the law and the citizens can't? I remember that even during the Military regimes, driving an Army Green car irrespective of the make was grounds for harassment. Isn't that just foolish?

The law states that wearing any part of the uniform of an officer (Military or Para-military) is an offence. So technically wearing a black trouser can be taken to be wearing a police uniform. Or wearing a Navy blue trouser taken as wearing part of the uniform of the Air force. Same for White trousers and the Navy.

I really hate when these Biafran Agitators refer to Nigeria as a Zoo but when shiit like this is still happening, one can't help but see their point.

Simply make impersonation a crime and leave it at that. Anything beyond that is foolishness.

ChangetheChange:


Within the 100 days Buhari Aides have stayed in their various $1000 per night(Room rates, feeding,and other services inclusive) hotel, they have also used Nigeria tax payers money to (fuuckk) and have four--some sex with different Hoe-Oloshos from London and also fly down some Hoe-Oloshos from Nigeria, mostly the slay queens, we see on Instagram.
All the money being spent throughout these 100 days in London by Buhari and his Aides are Nigerians tax payers money

Nigeria has finally gone to the dogs

The cabals have taken over Nigeria

Babacele:
these guys who are being misled by their rogue elites know nothing ,and this deliberate misinfo constipation of ipobs is the real disaster!

Proudlyngwa:
Kindly correct the lies.
Here to learn

EternalTruths:
Leave him to his incorrect view


Once Biafra takes up arms, UN will intervene. They will ask Biafrans what they want of which the Biafrans will reply referendum.

Pick up arms? on the contrary, Biafra will be designated a terrorist organisation, if in doubt ask the PKK

carnegiefan:
I have to agree on the bolded.

For the ICJ at THE HAGUE, their ruling becomes binding on any country that willing go there for any adjudication on a case, usually a trans-national or international case. The Bakassi case adjudication became binding on Nigeria the moment Nigeria agreed AHEAD OF TIME to abide by its ruling.
That is why Cameroun kept persuading Nigeria to go there with them, and Nigeria "mumuishly" went there. The rest is history.

As for the International Criminal Court (ICC), that is binding on all countries that are SIGNATORY to it.
Nigeria is a signatory to ICC, so her leaders are subject to being dragged there for justice on issues of crimes against humanity.
That is why IPOB wear body cameras gathering shooting evidences against unarmed civilians by the Nigeria police and others.
One day "Sai Baba" go hear am.

kingzizzy:
I can't comment on referendum as a process since I'm not an international Lawyer but I can comment on the 'right' to a referendum. I believe that any ethnic group in Nigeria can seek referendum based on the fact that Nigeria is just a mere colonial contruct. The argument for a referendum is that the people who populate Nigeria were never consulted before Lugard unilaterally created Nigeria. This renders the 1914 amalgamation illegitimate and thus, a referendum becomes the only legitimate way for the various ethnicities to define their political borders. A clause in the amalgamation document purpotedly claims that after 100 years, any of the ethnic nationalities that make up Nigeria who are no longer happy with the union can opt out. The fact that Nigeria is an illegal fabrication of the White man is at the very heart of why a referendum should be conducted. Referendum is the legitimate way to reverse the illegal amalgamation of 1914 and to decolonize Nigeria. I remember watching on YouTube an interview Asari Dokubo gave where he claimed that the Ijaw people sent a delegation to the colonial office in London in 1923 to ask the British Government why they included the Ijaw people in Nigeria. Dokubo also claimed that the Egba people of South west Nigeria never became part of Nigeria until that same year of 1923. My late grandfather was born an Igbo man in 1902, he told me before he died that he did not know he had been made a Nigerian until 1920. The fact that most people were made Nigerians without their knowledge also renders Nigeria as an act of fraud thus lending credibility to the notion of a referendum. On the whole, the case for a referendum is very strong and if the Nigerian Government eventually does not agree to a referendum, I believe it will later lead to a second civil war

AyakaDunukofia:
If no international law takes predcedent over a country's constitution, why is Sudan's president Albashir hiding like a rat for years or why was Slobadan Milosovich of Yugoslavia arrested.

The UN was established after the second world war given that once in a while murderous tyrants and sado-masochists like Buhari appear on the political radar, just like Hitler.

Biafra's won't be the first for Nigeria. The southern Cameroons were granted their right of opinion through the 1961 plebscite in a referendum by Nigeria, and was conducted UNDER UN's Supervision and NOT NIGERIA(no magomago)

Calculia:
Yes. Nigeria is a signatory country to the International Court and international law takes precedent over domestic law.

Thus, no need to amend constitution to hold referendum in the SS AND SE for Biafra.

No the creation of the British is not who I am, I dont suffer from colonial mentality.

wanimo:
The biggest mistake the northerners will make is to pick up a fight with Biafrans in this 2017. It would be an error if they assume that the Nigeria of 1967 is the same with the Nigeria of 2017. As at today, the lies and deceit which Nigeria has been dwelling on has been laid bare, thanks to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. These northerners have been beating drums of war against igbos without thinking about the consequences of such an action.

The Nigerian civil war of 1967 was a war of a country divided into 2. If there should be another war today, it's going to be much more complicated. The middle beltans, the Yorubas, the Southern Riverine ethnic nationalities would never again fight under a united umbrella called Nigeria. The slightest eruption of violence will see the balkanization of Nigerian into not less than 4 entities.

In the recent past, people of many ethnic groups aside those of the core north have come to identify with Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, pledging their support. Many others have openly denounced their alliances with the north should Nigeria ever be faced with disintegration.

The core northerners who are beating these drums of war, are basking on the belief that they are in control of all the armed apparatuses of Nigeria at the moment. They feel that they have the capacity to unleash violence and destruction on any dissenting voices in the country. However, it's obvious that they are in for a lot of surprises. They shall witness an unprecedented level of desertion, defection and sabotage this time around. The table shall turn should they decide to take the route of violence and destruction.

In an event of war, igbos would surely band together and fight for survival, discarding all their differences. In as much as we expect to have a few saboteurs in our midst, we shall overcome through a unified majority as war is no respecter of class, status, wealth or poverty. The worst that would happen is that many rich people will flee with their families and this shall not be peculiar to igbo land alone. All the regions and ethnic groups shall experience a similar fate.

Many others ethnic nationalities would seize the opportunity to break free from this bondage of a country called Nigeria. The core north as they are right now, without the support of the middle belt and the Yorubas do not have the capacity to engage Biafrans in a war. The support Nigeria enjoyed from her European colonial masters in 1967, shall surely be missed this time around.

The north shall be worse of as their economy shall crash in a matter of months. They shall automatically become landlocked while battling terrorism​ and insurgency in a time of warfare. Their huge population of uneducated youths shall surely rise against their elites. Within a period less than 2 years, the north would only be comparable to Somali or Afghanistan. The greed and arrogance of these northern elites shall be their greatest undoing.

However, all these are clearly avoidable. The Nigerian state must tow the lane of honor and listen to the voice of reason. Conduct a referendum or call all groups together and renegotiate the unity of Nigeria. It's obvious that we Biafrans are not calling for a war. We have maintained a very peaceful disposition in our expression of our inalienable rights to self determination.

We want a referendum and not war, and we shall not stop our agitation until our demands for a referendum are met. We are Biafrans.

Biafra or nothing

attackgat:
Asking for a referendum is actually an improvement over Nigeria that was created by the guns of the British. At least with referendum, people have a choice, unlike the colonial fraud called Nigeria where no one was given a choice.

WhiskeyTangoFox:
I dnt agree with ur analogy about "dad losing his job", it doesn't apply to this situation. We all know oil price is down, and it will affect us since we are oil dependent. But I mentioned issues besides the economy/recession. Ethnic violence/agitation, marginalization of the south, below par cabinet that only help to worsen things, fulani herdsmen, lack of prosecution on those alleged to be corrupt, the cloud of uncertainty (along with lack of transparency) hovering above the presidency whenever on medical visit etc. These are areas this administration could have performed better to cushion the negative effects of the economy on the masses and show that level of competence needed to steer the country away from the current economic turmoil. It's over 2 years and we all know some ministers and Co aren't up to the task, no changes have been made to show complacency wnt be tolerated. The military few months ago bombed an idp camp thinking they were insurgents. Few weeks ago, the same military lied about rescuing kidnapped nnpc workers until "BOKO HARAM" released a video to counter their claims (u can imagine the irony). No one was publicly held accountable or penalised for such colossal f*ckup, jst an apology letter released and it's all been swept under the carpet as usual. The lack of professionalism within the current administration is alarming. 2 years on, and Jonathan's name is still being dragged in at every opportunity, making lame attempts to hide their lack of achievement behind his flaws while he was president. How can they continuously showcase Jonathan's flaws and completely fail in highlighting their strengths?

Ethnic violence and agitations? correct me if I am wrong, we have been living with communal clashes since I was born, I think presently, its reduced considering our population growth over time, they all fall under law enforcement lapses, my expectations isn't out of the ordinary, did you really vote any government in Nigeria hoping that the NPF will become NYPD? come on!!

Agitations like IPOB you mean? who told you they are agitating? those are political tools used by state governors to pressure the federal government to dissolve the federation account, do you sincerely think it's a coincidence that Kanu is shouting Biafra on one end, the politicians are shouting "restructuring and resource control"? it's all about the federation account, the question is; why do they want the federation account dissolved? simple, because they want more money due to fall in crude price, so I can draft the chronology for you, fall in crude price led to agitation for Biafra, led to agitation for restructuring as the end game, do you sincerely think the FG is stvpid not to figure it out?

By middle of 2013, the federation account was providing about 1.3T naira for sharing, today, it provides less than 480b naira, no thanks to the fall in crude price, so the state governors have quickly condemned the idea of sharing, they now see it as a taboo , they want to control the resources without making any investment, which sane FG will listen to that crap? now they go to the people, you and I know that Nigerians are extremely ignorant, the people side with them and the noise reaches a crescendo!! The politicians know that Nigerians are too dvmb to ask how we are gonna be maintaining equitable distribution of wealth, the primary function of the federation account?

When they see the resolve of the federal government as unwavering, the so called mass followership they have will quickly define their interest, they will come to an understanding that you and I are no direct beneficiaries of state funds, they will go home, in the interim, we can all enjoy the noise, it doesn't call for any concern trust me on that. With a president like Buhari that can not be intimidated even in death , those so called economic agitations will die a natural death.

Before you blame those ministers, first find out when last their budgetary allocation was paid, where is the money? when you see the money, find out if it is a borrowed fund that we will pay back or service in the nearest future. Those are the fundamental issues not the hogwash flying around. If you think the PDP will do better under the circumstance, then you must be ready for a rude shock.

Prosecution of corrupt persons cost a lot of money, the smartest thing to do is collecting the much we can through plea bargain, the stubborn ones can be axed with the Judiciary hoping you understand the Judiciary bottlenecks, while i would love a democracy with consequence management, I am not so enthusiastic seeing a Madueke in prison at a huge cost, we rather settle for her loot funding a part of the budget as we saw in the 2017 budget till the situation improves.

The rann bombing was a mistake though regrettable but not out of the ordinary, the military accepted responsibility and apologised for it, what else were you expecting? Axe the service chiefs? don't be ridiculous, in a game of life and death, both cards are always on the table, if you follow the news you would have heard that in October 2015, a US AC-130 gunship erroneously bombed an MSF hospital in Kunduz, that plane is more advanced and sophisticated than the ancient of days our air force use, yet they made such disastrous error, the story is the same for several advanced militaries of the world, if we have flown thousands of sorties in the NE and made just one error, I think you should cut the military some slack!!

tsdarkside:
then go tell america to let california go,tell england to let scotland or irland go..tell china to forget taiwan...tell the turks to let the kurds go and many such situations..

this nations dont respect the laws they wrote down themselfs...they said no nuclear weapons but they are still building them...sooo,the laws they make is only for africans not for themselfs....??

this is nigeria,we are not going to play any stvpid games with the rest of the world no more...

SenatorM:
Stop Deceiving yourself, Just read this:

In 1966 the United Nations enacted the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which, by February 2017, had been endorsed by 169 countries, Nigeria included. It mandates signatory member-nations to respect the civil and political rights of its people of which the right to self-determination is a part. Based on this, referendums are regularly held all over the world – developed, developing and backward nations inclusive. Referendums on varied forms of political questions have been held in more than 60 countries.

guterMann:
The governor added that no sane
person would talk of division in
Nigeria.


(1) Mr Okoroawusa your clamour for one Nigeria is not because you believe in Nigeria,but because of the peanuts,pecks of power and looting your position has availed you.Apart from the elites who the current status quo favors,nobody is talking about the unity of Nigeria


“We fought the war and it was
believed that the Igbos will learn
from it but they still went ahead and developing the resources of
other regions.

(2) Secondly,you people should stop this emotional blackmail of always mentioning war.
Nobody is talking about war,what IPOB is asking is referendum for self-determination

There are 5 million Igbo living
outside the shores of Igbo region.
Any form of war will cause the
Igbo over 3 trillion naira loss in
properties and assets.

(3) Always talking about war war war,Mr. Okoroawusa for God's sake nobody is talking about war.Stop this scare mongering tactics.
If Biafra secedes will Biafrans lose their property in Nigeria?Absolutely NO.British citizens living in the EU did not lose their property in European countries after brexit.There are international laws guiding such which are legally binding to both signatory and non-signatory states.


THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN.

WhiskeyTangoFox:
You misunderstand my approach. This isn't an attempt to use Jonathan's administration as a yard stick for excellence, personally I think he's the weakest president/ruler Nigeria has had from independence till date. But pls gather the issues Nigeria and her citizens faced under Jonathan, then compare it with the current plight of/in the country then maybe u'll begin to understand my perspective. I'm not commending the performance of pdp (as incumbent or opposition), neither am I rooting for pdp, bt I believe we hit an all time low under the current leadership. It's been both comical and disheartening to experience, a complete shit-storm where no form of shelter can keep one immuned, well except those making it rain. If it's not falling on you, then ur getting choked with the stench around.

your last sentence, let me ask you an honest question dude (I suppose), if you are a child in a family where your father just lost his job, he doesn't rush out by 7am anymore to return by 6pm, will you still ask your mother why there is no meat in the soup or do you embrace the reality that the earnings of the family has dwindled?
Nigerians are like kids who are still asking for the usual three lumps of meat when their father just lost his job, you can not bring to a logical bare the sufferings of Nigerians currently without fixing culpability where it rightly belongs. The country is an oil dependent economy and oil price has crashed, there is no miracle that will make you to continue living like a king, that is a fact!! You must understand this fact, embrace it and accept it by taming your expectations.
whether it is a Jonathan or Buhari, I only expect proper management of our dwindled income not growth, realistically speaking, both of them have failed woefully in that objective, while a Buhari will grant forex subsidy to religious fanatics, Jonathan is willing to dash the federation account to a pretty minister, so PDP and APC have nothing to offer us in the philosophy of prudence in a dwindling economy.

If you excuse the economy, it is no rocket science to know that buhari is a far lesser evil than Jonathan.

caleb404:
Who caused the Niger delta avengers to begin bombing oil installations?

Who demarketed the economy by calling us criminals?

When GEJ engaged the stakeholders in Niger delta to ensure peace, who came in and started forming James bond... disengaged the local surveillance.... and now re-engaging them?

Who brought about the prominence of Nnamdi Kanu? Which government has 5 different exchange rates for forex?

Which government rushed to implement TSA without creating shock absorbers in the system. All to take glory the dullard rushed a lot of things. TSA that was meant to be introduced in a phased manner was suddenly implemented in full dose, creating shocks in the economy... that's the recession we're battling.

Which government took 6 months to appoint Amaechi and Fashola as ministers?

The castigated youwin has been reintroduced again under a different name? Are the militants which Buhari dared not being compensated again?. The local surveillance team for the pipelines, they've being brought back again. Tompolo has his contract back again. Subsidies are now being paid again. Foreign mercenaries are now fighting bokoharam again... a whole lot of things that was done by Jonathan is being redone again by Buhari... that's after his senses rebooted and he discovered that indeed Jonathan was doing it the right way.

By the time we start looking at 'Cause and Effect' you'll see all the answers there. What it takes an educated man 1 week to see, an illiterate will see it in 2 years.

For now, Buhari made his bed.. let him lie on it. All these comparisons are at best useless.

As much as the Americans can be self hating ,violent gangsters they never pick up arms against their government.

WhiskeyTangoFox:
In Jonathan's administration, looting was the primary issue, he also cld've done better tackling insurgency in the North although he wasn't afforded time to combat boko haram after procuring sophisticated weapons to match the fight, also he cld've done better with regards to capital projects, infrastructure and development for the south. But Buhari's admin seems to be hijacked (even his wife became helpless and had to cry out at some point), religious and ethinic agitation/violence is on the rise, the economy has nosedived so far down it's been ridiculous, inflation skyrocketed, businesses and livelihoods completely collapsed due to the difficult environment, incompetent cabinet lacking the skill knowledge and innovation to make a positive difference, lies propaganda excuses and suppression of news, choking citizens with more taxes yet no matching results to show for, a president that has spent more time outside the country than in it and shows no regard to majority of taxpayers who labor so he can keep up with his expensive medical trips and treatment, not one high profile corruption case dat has been successfully prosecuted even when evidence has been glaring, inability to curtail the various security threats (even a technically defeated boko haram still shedding blood and causing immeasurable damage in the northeast)
Ok, and dis administration has served u and ur family's best interest, abi? If so, then may the effects of this current reality of things in this country be permanent for u and ur pple. Ensure u add an amen to dat

"We have serious challenges. Things have been tough since the beginning of the year (2015) and they are likely to remain so till the end of the year," said Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, adding that more than half of this year's borrowing allowance had already been exhausted.

You are right there where no NATO boots on Libyan soil. But there are few questions we should ask; who supplied the rebels with weapon's they used in overthrowing gadaffi , the air support NATO gave: (especially French rafale jets) and the hell fire missile that was fired at gafaffi's convoy when he was trying to escape.

They should have left them alone, now Libyan armed forces weapons are all over conflicts area in Africa and Asia.
