Afamed:
These are the kind of questions you suppose to be asking kanu who is pushing you for Biafra. Since he has been promising you heaven on earth. To Nnamdi and his co traveller Biafra will automatically become New York, the day they seceded.

LordAdam16:
Drop a link and end this madness.

I've dropped mine which you didn't nor can read.

Drop yours? Ignorant illiterate.

I'll shred your cred on NL, b*ffoon.

-Lord

He actually thinks the Sudanese insurrection started with the Heglig crisis
Im sure this dude watches Tv through his neighbour's window, imagine the unlettered mentally weak individual, he has braced up to argue with his father, you have nothing but emptiness to offer me, I will be doing a great disservice to myself wasting my knowledge on you, at least you have learnt the Heglig crisis, with time you will catch up! I understand how desperate you are to feel among, relax your time hasn't come.

LordAdam16:
Now return back to the cave you crept out of. Ignorant illiterate!!!

-Lord

you quoted a text from someone as far as we know may be yourself and call it a source? Such a mentally weak individual.

doskie:
I'm asking a question because i dont know. you dont have to be rude.

LordAdam16:
Trash from an ignorant illiterate.

The war started before the Biafrans received payment from Shell-BP.

After destroying your POS analysis, you're too effed up to put a retort. Talk about a kid!

Let NDR break away and we see Nigerian soldiers trying to covet oil assets, we'd sacrifice them to Egbesu. Nonsense!!!

-Lord

Shoot your history teacher in the head!!

LordAdam16:
Another hot pile of sh*t.

Why not you post just one link that proves the Sudan invaded South Sudan because of a pipeline issue, ignoramus?

Go read about the Heglig crisis and who was the aggressor. Illiterate.

I'll not even respond to your Yugoslav War and Pak/Indian conflict nonsense. You just keep offloading bunch of trash like you are garbage truck.

Make any st*pid noise about the Nigerian army seizing oil and gas assets in non-Nigerian territory and see if you wouldn't be disgraced.

listenersky:
I just discovered my fiancee has been cheating on me. I discovered the chats she had with a married elderly man ,she initially denied it but she confessed after I showed her the evidence i had. We have been dating for six years and we did our intro early this year. We have picked the date of our wedding which is in few weeks time. People have been invited.

Her relationship with this elderly man didn't start now, she made me to understand that it has been going on for years. Now she has been begging me to forgive her and not put her to shame because PEOPLE are already looking forward to our wedding day.

Wedding preparations already in place. Infact preparations already 80% done. I'm really in a state of confusion right now because I don't know if I should go ahead with the wedding out of pity. And I am also scared that if I marry her out of pity, I might not love her the way I should as the thought of her being unfaithful over the years will never leave my head And how am I sure she's not cheating with more than one man?

Pls nairalanders, matured advice needed at this time.

Nobody is anti-Biafra here. And there are no lamentations. We just want you to be well-equipped with the facts, so that you can quickly get your own merry homeland. The sooner you get it, the better for the rest of us.

You chaps are fond of blaming others, when things do not work out the way you planned. We just want to ensure that this time around, you will not be able to shift the blame in the direction of other ethnic groups, by claiming they did not warn you of the loopholes, well ahead of time. The same way African leaders like Habib Ben Ali Bourguiba of Tunisia, Nnamdi Azikiwe of Nigeria and even the late Adeyinka Adebayo of the old Western region warned Ojukwu in the past, and he refused to listen. Everyone saw the result of his decision. Nobody should wake up tomorrow & say we did not do our duty in notifying you.

So, we have spotted the minefields on your path. And have brought it to your attention. Anything that happens afterwards, is solely your own responsibility. Daalu zi!

Godwin2016:
I still want my Biafra whether recognised under international law or not.

Reality is a b!tch!!

doskie:
you wrote that immediately the status of a person changes from a nigerian, he has automatically annulled the agreement with the state.

let me ask..

if mr Obi is from the east, and through a referendum, igbos secede, even though mr obi has not officially declared himself a biafra through any legal document, does the law automatically recognise obi as a biafran or he remains a nigerian until he personally decides to change nationality. is it a personal or general thing?

Aragon:
Even Europeans that are supposed to be Civilized, we dey plan to show UK pepper because of BREXIT how much more wetin Naija go take Biafrans eyes see. The saddest part of this is most of these Youths actually believe that Biafra is Utopia. They believe deep in their mind that Biafra will be second heaven. And my question has always been, will the Politicians suddenly Change from being Corrupt, Greedy and Wicked because they Change the name of where they operate? Are the Igbos suddenly going to Love, Trust and treat each other's right cos they Change their name? Why are people so Lazy to think?

Niger Delta does not need Nigerian protection.

And this talk about securing oil and gas assets is balderdash.

If the Nigerian government will confiscate all properties owned by the Biafrans, the Biafran government will confiscate Nigerian oil and gas assets. Tit for tat.

The only time the Nigerian government moves in is if they resist the secessionist efforts with force like in 1967. If they do not and let Biafra go without violence, then they have no claim to oil and gas assets, even those owned by the NNPC. In fact, these assets would constitute a Biafran bargaining chip for Biafran properties in Nigeria. If Nigeria enters Biafra under any guise after Biafra has been recognized by the International community, it is a contravention of International Law and Nigeria would be pressured to abandon that quest or face sanctions. The bloodier that war gets, the poorer Nigeria becomes. With no oil and pressing International sanctions, Nigeria will go into a recession, causing more agitation from other groups, which could set off a chain reaction that leads to an implosion.

Moreover, most of the oil and gas assets in Biafra are owned by foreign companies, which means all the Biafran government has to do is null the JVs and royalties paid to the Nigerian government, then enter new agreement with the companies. It happened in 1967 when Shell-BP (the largest oil exploration company in Nigeria at the time) paid the Biafran government until the British Government advised them not to in return for assurance that the Crown would help the Nigerian side win the war.

If you think Nigerian forces would stroll in Niger Delta Republic to seize oil assets, then you must be drunk. We'll not only repel Nigerian forces, we'll make the Lagos ports inoperable and give you guys the same treatment you guys gave the Biafrans in 1967. A bloody blockade. And before you laugh that off, ask yourself which territorial waters are the third most pirate-infested in the world after Indonesia and Somalia, then ask yourself who these pirates are?

The Nigerian Navy cannot patrol the entire coastline of the South South, but our pirates can make any ocean going vessel think twice about going to the Lagos ports.

Be careful what you wish for. Except you think the oil wells in Lagos and Ondo would fund a war with the 6th/7th largest oil producing region in the world. And by the way read about the 2015 U.S. Nigerian-Breakup War Game and find out which region had the U.S. military support.

All this chest-beating on NL is childish. Restructuring or breakup. If it does get to breakup, violence or not, Niger Delta Republic will not cede a km of South-South land to any alien. Niger Delta has never lost any armed conflict against the Nigerian government, it wouldn't start when we get our own country.

The Biafrans would not make the mistake of encroaching into SS land like they did in '67. It is suicidal and there's practically no reason for them to do so.

In the beginning, this thread was informative but it has since gone off the rails with folks like you engaging in fear-mongering.

Lies and half-truths.

1. The major conflict in South Sudan now is the civil war. Read what caused it here -- http://www.aljazeera.com/blogs/africa/2017/04/clear-winners-south-sudan-war-170420093525610.html --, and not your dreamy pipeline issue. Rating: LIE.

2. The Yugoslav wars were not primarily because of the fate of the Serbs. It was an inter-ethnic war that had heavy involvement of most of the ethnicities. In fact, most of the wars ended in treaties (meaning no clear winner-takes-all scenario), and the wars ended in 2001 after 10 years. Today all seceding parts are bona fide countries recognized by the International community--Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia. Rating: HALF TRUTH

3. Pakistan and India is irrelevant to this discourse as both countries broke away and have been apart since then.

The biggest error by the Nigerian side is not realizing the difference between 1967 and 2017, and thinking a civil war today is a foregone conclusion with a Nigerian victory. That is naive and myopic.

War is not won on paper. I am yet to see any intelligent review of a possible war timeline that results in an absolute victory for the Nigerian side. The number of variables are too many and interests too varied, that the blood and death you refer to will be commonplace across all of present Nigeria, not just the SE. Blood and death awaits both the secessionists and the unionists.

It is a classic case of carrying your casket to a war, because you'll either return with it or in it.

Three months ago seemingly frustrated by widespread indifference to the topic, I said that peaceful restructuring was highly unlikely, today it is violent restructuring that is highly unlikely.

Fear-mongering would not quench the call for secession. Only reason and fairness would.

Kay17:
You are proceeding on the assumption that a Nigerian or the Nigerian government cannot enter into a valid legal agreement with a foreigner. Which if true, implies that the scores of MoUs signed with foreign investors are consequently invalid

slydog:
The international lenders will also not be quick to lend to a new country because evidence shows that every new independent country must have its own share of civil war

Pavarottii:
Av u watched that video of nnamdi many. All these rubbish u av been saying is like u r discouraging ibid from leaving. He said whether Adama as an iibo girl decides to stay in Lagos. That's not his business. U r talking as if they are no human beings leaving in d SE and its only Lagos that they are. My brother wake up.

woodcook:
I don't even know where to start with you. Rather than buttressing your points with facts you are busying blowing hot.

So because we have a different opinion about an issue that automatically makes me IPOB member, and you are here calling someone block head.


Einstein shame on you if you cannot disprove my statements.

Einstein so the only way to get education and learn about international politics/histories in today's world is for one to enroll in a college ?

From your post I realized that your type don't reason, you think opinion other than yours is wrong. The truth is bro no one actually gives a shit about you or your opinion.

You can curse and blow hot all you want, those IPOB guys will continue rallying round Nnamdi Kanu whether you like it or not. Even if you hang yourself it won't change anything. The earlier you realize that you are inconsequential to them the better for you.


You can go ahead and say whatever trash you want, I am done with you.

kocvalour:
lol kanu going places

Anywhere he goes many multitudes follow him...

since I was born, I have never seen any one in igbo land pull such crowd...

hate him or like him, u can't change Destiny

Luvdk:
Tell that to ya filthy Afonja ladies

ESDKING:
The earlier you guys understand that no propaganda against Ipob is working the better.. When are you guys going to rest ?.

On that day, we shall know who is who. 30th may was just a child's play. They did all to frustrate the sit at home order they could not, now they have come again with another trash.If people could comply with sit at home order which made some Igbos not to engage in their various businesses that day, how much more on election day when they won't even be allowed to open their shops by Nig govt due to election. So, the only alternative they will have is to sit at home and enjoy.

Moreover, people have been participating less during previous election time in SE , is it now the order has been given that they Will come out in mass to vote ?.
Deceit of the highest order !!
Ipob has won already.

The zoo running out of strategies

By the time he done wt the zoo called a country

That name ( Nigeria) will be obliterated from history book

Obeledu:
Hello All,

I am a man of 42years with 3 kids. I am currently working with Nigerian biggest Gas company as a contract staff and

on monthly salary of around 300K/month. There is no chance of being converted to staff position, but there is job

security and pension contribution by employer.

Before I got the job five years ago, i started this Canadian immigration process. I have  lost interest in the whole

process then all of sudden they said my visa is ready.

I have some other investments in Nigeria.

Should I abandon all these and migrate to Canada to start afresh?

It is funny how you could conclude that I never read any of the events that I mentioned. Can you point out what I said about the events I mentioned that are not true?

Since when does one looking a part same thing as doing it? Well your dismissive approach was the same employed by the Federal government and here we are today. Mandela never looked the part when he started, likewise Hitler never had the chance as well. If you can go back and re-read my post before blowing hot, you would understand that my position is that in as much as he may not "look" the part taking this issue lightly without finding a solution now may lead to things getting out of hand. I know how almost everyone including myself was counting on the saying "that the Igbos like money most of them will never close their shops on 30th May". Brother I am glad that we all witnessed how it played out.

Have you also considered that this may provide a foreign nation the opportunity to capitalize on the current situation and high jack it?

woodcook:
Read the French revolution and you will be surprised what the 1 percent told then. The Arab spring was not too far in the past likewise the split of Sudan. I understand your point and I completely agree that the elites on both sides of the divide will do everything within their power to stop this from happening but one thing that may undo the elites is time: time as change and any mistake on their part will turn the masses of the free world against them. Just turning the attention of the free world to the happenings in Nigeria is enough. Yes I am not sure if Kanu will succeed but taking him for granted may be a grave mistake.

Bluvbytee:
BBC Africa has come after the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, accuses it misapproriation of funds.

"The idle presidential aircraft in london consumes 4k pounds everyday for parking lot and its idleness. By 12am this morning,it would be 50days it has stayed idle and if you multiply that by N400/1pounds for 50days it will amount to N80,000,000.00 doing nothing but waiting for the President Muhammadu Buhari to get well.

"Is this a government or a mistake?"
