The soldiers should know better than to fire kill shots unless d occupants of d car were also shooting at them!

They should have shot at d tires n disabled d car then arrested d occupants to verify their identities! Just an unnecessary and wanton destruction of life because it will all be swept under d carpet or they'll be exonerated as usual. The families of d victims as usual will be tossed around till they are tired.

I wonder how these idiots pulled the wool over supposedly smart Nigerians and even so called educated ones supported this godforsaken change.

I can understand illiterates inevitably stuck in the 'our religion and brother' mode but now, slowly but surely the clouds are ominously gathering!

Is this really one Nigeria? This is rhetorical anyway cos it clearly isn't. The so called majority that handed this country to further destruction had better start praying hard n working out a way....

Imo State o! God please deliver this state from d madness that their Governor now displays.

It is said thus: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Obviously Nigeria is so broken, fixing it as a whole is out of the question. The pieces must come fully apart and regroup as a whole out of a supposed whole (Nigeria).

The question is d best option and it goes without saying that it is far more realistic to achieve greater heights with people of similar cultural and religious affinity than with the discordant tunes that currently play in Nigeria. I include religion because it is our reality and belief which plays substantial roles in our lives both individually and collectively.

Evidently, the greater the number and spread of the Biafran call across the present day SE/SS, the more effective it will be. I think at this point that some may have gotten more hung up on the form rather than content.

The basic fact is we have unlimited potential but unfortunately tied down in this unholy union called Nigeria. In essence, the nature of d balkanisation of the Old Eastern Region into d current states we have was done to give d riverine ppl an identity. At the same time, core igbo areas were carved out into these riverine states but be that as it may, we must not lose sight of what should be a common goal.

It is necessary to rise above who claimed what and get core stakeholders to come together, articulate our stance of freedom and resource control. A blueprint that ensures that no one appears more superior to the other and with this move forward to breaking this sick union with Nigeria and forging our path to a blessed Biafra.
Now is the time for us whether Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio, Anioma, and so on to get to the drawing board and present a united front.

These petty arguments get us nowhere. It is clear that Igbos have no ill will towards our brothers but for avoidance of all doubt, all need to be represented and on board so we have a united stand against the parasitic existence of the current Nigeria. People, look inwards and let's push forward! Biafra is our hope and in God we trust for victory.

mrdeba:
If she deserves God blessing she will surely get it but if she don't no amount of prayers will help her

And are u deserving of God's blessings in any way? If not for His mercy where would you be? Who is deserving really? That is why there's something called favour n grace. It is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of He that showeth mercy. You my dear are not qualified to talk about who does or doesn't deserve.

He's not talking about it because it's a major scam and a big fat lie! Knowing Nigerians with their short memories, sufficient silence will see them forget the whole situation and 'give him a chance' to bring about their desired change.

The truth will speak for itself!

I do not object to all what u have said but my point is priority! At this critical time in the economy, censoring porn access on the internet should be way down the bottom of the list. In fact, it is a frivolity we cannot afford at this time. They cannot even address the political in-house bickering they have been serenading the Nigerian public with and someone reaches all the way to porn?! Come on!

chinchum:
rape and abuse did not start today, my first response made reference to a noticeable upsurge in rape cases in very recent times. The legislature and judiciary work hand in hand. One makes the law, the other gives interpretation. Life or situations are not black or white, there are shades of grey porn access with no control whatsover is dangerous , if not checked, in no time, we will be dealing with bestiality, homosexuality, rape, incest, in frightening proportions

chinchum:
Something formed the base and warped desires !, What could that be ? let that be your food for thought.

N.B What goes in to our mind comes out as actions.

Rape and abuse of minors did not start today. When did Nigeria start having access to the internet? It is a malaise that should be addressed through the criminal justice system with good punitive and corrective measures in place. The dire straits in which Nigeria finds herself today is not caused by access to porn. People are hungry and need to prosper! The humongous sums they commandeer as sitting allowances and whatnot cannot be frittered away on such inconsequential matters in the general scheme of things. There is something called priority!

chinchum:
That is also a real world problem, i opine that an upsurge in rape cases including underage kids can be largely attributed to increased access to porn materials on blogs/sites.

Every demon that rapes any female underage or otherwise simply allowed his base and warped desires to manifest. Porn has nothing to do with it and that is the prerogative of a personal individual. It is certainly not what taxpayers and citizens expect them to deliberate upon.

Very unserious set of people! Of all d pressing issues in Nigeria it is people's personal life styles u are dreaming about! Una carry morality and religion for head but na una thief pass! Who tell u say corruption, laziness in ur place of work as NASS members no dey offensive to moral n religious tenets? Silly people!

What is more morally decadent than the flamboyant livestyles these NASS and other top govt functionaries lead? Especially in the face of crushing poverty, sickness and disease? In this fuel scarcity sef dem dey use convoy waka o and they are talking of porn and censoring social media! How myopic! In fact this proposal is the highest affront to morals and Christian values that tell u to do unto others as u would have done unto u!

When will this NASS get real and deal with proper issues of governance? When the Senate president is absent who should preside over the Senate if not his deputy?
This is how d members of the HoR have been fighting stupidly as if they're not all criminals voted on different political platforms!

When it was time to slash their income they forgot partisanship and remembered they were all members of the NASS! They opened their rotten mouths to consume wardrobe allowance yet they can't settle down and deliver to the people who voted them in. They are the same oafs that refused to consider d implementation of 5k which they promised during campaign! Such a shame...

And this is where u get it wrong! It is a game of numbers and also a game of choice! Choice every citizen is entitled to and should not be punished for! At the end of every election there must be a winner and the one who wins swears an oath to all citizens and not just those that voted him in.
It is one government not a parallel one where d winner takes care of his majority voters while d first runner up leads his own voters. Get that fact straight and lose that victim mentality of d consequences of your actions.

EUROBOMBER:
Ok, since we decided to give Jonathan all our votes, let us also accept the consequences of our decision.

Politics is a game of numbers and two zones can NEVER defeat four.

Simple.

People hate the truth! They would rather tell u that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable. I ask, was it negotiated in the first place?

Why have we been unable to actually make a people oriented constitution with clear terms of engagement as agreed upon by component units? Why are we yoked under a military constitution that recognises islam and accords it special status without regard to others? Yet it is supposed to be a secular country? Why are there disparities in grades to be achieved before admittance into secondary schools? Disparities that deliberately limit some to favour others so that children begin to feel d heat from their tender ages?

Even documents have shown that the British skewed population n election figures in favour of the North. Will a true united Nigeria not commit itself to and actually conduct real census to determine d real number n spread of its people?

There is no unity! People have only been deceived! On this site alone people come to check names to determine which ethnic group has done good or bad! Where is d unity in that? It is better to acknowledge the truth and advocate it at all times! Nigeria as currently constituted and run is a fraud!

It is a fact that it is definitely more effective to govern smaller units either as confederating units of a whole or as independent nations. Biafra is the absolute embodiment of truth! We rather have a smaller and effective nation that pulls it's weight than remain part of d drag and deadweight that Nigeria is.

How did Imo State fall into the hands of this cretin? The same way Amaechi started messing with the judiciary the moment he became an APC stooge and now this! Total lack of respect for institutions so how can d judiciary be independent if d executive gets a at with tinkering with their income and appointments at will?

Has he reduced his salary and other emoluments? He can find resources to build mosques in Imo State but cannot pay civil servants and will rather slash salaries of magistrates? Did he reduce d cost of petrol, rent and other goods and services?

TimeManager:
For the umpteenth time,the unity of this country is non-negotiable.its quite obvious that the intensity of the recent agitation for biafra is nothing but sheer greed.the last six years the SEners were at the forefront in the scheme of things in the national affairs and control of state resources.six months ago there was change of power and the SE feels things are no longer at ease,even when it was glarring that biafra is pro-pdp.they came out en masse and voted for pdp. In their own dilusional state of mind,anyone pro-apc is nothing but an infidel,hence their miscalculation backfired& came to them like a big shock.the whole world can see their intention of recent is not genuine while the FG is doing just about enough to placate them.Once again our unity is sancrosant! Deal with it or die with it! No lie only truth!

So what if they don't want to be part of Nigeria anymore? Is it today or 6months ago Biafra came into existence? Why was a civil war fought? What n how was Biafra before the forced amalgamation by colonial masters? The FG is placating them? How? Who negotiated this suddenly non-negotiable unity according to u?

Get educated and stop regurgitating useless lies that have been exposed! Unity on what basis? That they were d first victims immediately Buhari lost elections in 2011? Or that they were attacked because Mohammed's caricature was drawn in Denmark? Or that churches are the first port of call for destruction the moment Mohammedians feel d urge for destruction? Or that some silly traditional ruler threatens them for exercising their rights to vote their preferred candidate? Have u heard Igbos or the SS attacking others in their regions?

What is this unity? That they have to score 130 for admission into a so called unity school yet their counterparts of Northern origin get away with 4 for the same school and curriculum? Unity at who's expense?

Shekau and his boko haram crew have been destroying the NE and killing untold number of people ...no one has been able to arrest n detain him. The ones caught n arrested have been released in batches by Buhari. Is it until they attempt to spread their evil sharia beyond d North before u realise the danger of being yoked under this cursed union? Yet they arrest and detain Nnamdi Kanu only for speaking the truth! Not even a stone has been thrown! They arrest n detain people peacefully protesting and demanding their rights with no effort to address issues raised! And u say the FG is placating them how? If Nigeria is a joint project as claimed, why should one be in a position to placate another? Should we not all be equals taking our dues without fear or discrimination?

What efforts have been made to put an end to Hausa Fulani marauders killing Christians in the North Central? Yet GMB and crew are earmarking 200 billion Naira for rehabilitation of the NE! Where will d money come from? Oil producing zones right? Same zone that suffers debilitating environmental hazards due to production of same oil they are allowed no control over right? No serious govt effort to address these concerns and until GEJ, who has been in power?

Yet u sit there and spew crap about the 'unity' of Nigeria being non-negotiable? To what end and I ask again,at who's expense? How big is Switzerland compared to Nigeria? Can u compare life in both? What is the basis of unity between Biafra and other parts of Nigeria?

BrownRoof:
I pray that the good Lord will grant ibo their Biafra, I just can't wait for these poverty plagued second class citizens to leave. They are just too arrogant and greedy even though they are benefiting most from the 'one Nigeria'.
I will advice them to plan their secession plans very well by not forcefully joining all the south south states into their Biafra, they should first seek for their consent before joining them. However, everyone knows that a Biafra without any of the south south state included is going to be a total disaster.

Benefitting most? Arrogant? Please give details of these wonderful benefits and arrogance!

Omololu007:
all what the op said can never happen,so you ibos will leave with your 5 south eastern state

And why can't it happen? What wonderful advantage do u think d SE/SS will have? U see d greed n wickedness that has engulfed u n ur kind yet u feel Biafra is mere noise.

Shush! Address the points raised in the op if u dare! And let the truth find u out!

Omololu007:
if you know how much a lot of we yorubas want you ibos to achieve these your biafran dream.ibos will soon get these biafra with there 5 south eastern state

See how difficult it is for some so called Nigerian patriots to even consider much less concede on the conditions of the op even if on the Internet! Yet they say the SE / SS cries marginalization because GEJ lost election!

Hatred and endemic poverty of morals will not even allow them consider d inequalities that have been entrenched over the years yet they claim that Igbos hate them!

Quality statement and response!

new2020:
A yoruba friend ask me: under what conditions would you support One Nigeria and let go of the Biafra struggle.

Here was my response:

1. Close down Lagos ports and Open up PH, Calabar, Onitsha and Warri.
2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to Lagos and Abuja airports...only local or minimal connecting flights will be allowed. While this is being done, open up Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international flights...direct and major connecting flights.
3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to move their embassies and consulates from Lagos and Abuja to Enugu, PH and Calabar.
4. All federal governments agencies in Lagos and Abuja shall be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar. CBN, NNPC,e.t.c shall and must relocate to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja, shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
6. If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented, we can try one Nigeria and let's see if you Hausas and Yorubas will like it for a month. Meaning, Yorubas and Hausas needing to get visas shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that. Same with flying or connecting flights, same with shipping and importing their goods, e.t.c.

The yoruba friend replied: you can't be serious, this is wickedness. I said really? Don't you think Biafrans have been suffering and enduring this very same wickedness for over 50 yrs? He was quiet for a few seconds and said: wow, you are right but it never occurred to me. I said, that's the problem with One Nigeria, those who are benefiting love it and would love to maintain the status quo.

So sad! And the hospital cannot provide any proper explanation! Just so stupid and unfair! I daresay it might be negligence n laxity on d part of the hospital staff that resulted in her death hence their silence.

May God give u fortitude to bear the loss n provide helpers all around! Those children will bring u joy n favour

No be today o!

chrixus:
can you please tell me the reason why you feel biafra should come up again ? Maybe two or three reason will do...you people just feel it would be nice creating unwarranted fear and inciting the gullible ones. Anyway I trust people like you, 'online warriors'

First, I will not begin to try explaining the importance of Biafra cos u are already shaking in ur pants and believing some incitement in ur imagination. It is not for u. And when you say 'come up again' I am constrained to remind you that Biafra never died!

On the merit of my post which u just quoted, where is d reference to Biafra? I stated in clear terms that Eastern n Southern Nigeria must be battle ready and ensure sufficient intelligence n preemptive measures to rout any terrorist attacks b4 they actually or possibly happen. How is that fear or incitement of d ones u regard as gullible? Or u want them to remain sitting ducks? Did u even understand d op?

For as many lies as were perpetuated to maintain d hoax of one Nigeria when we are not one in any way, the truth of freedom which Biafra represents will continue to trash them and expose d devious wickedness which u appear a part of.

In short n simple words, open ur eyes n read then make sure u understand b4 u start convulsing over Biafran matters.

Scrap the crap

doctokwus:
Look at this clown.
They are still leaving in the past where they think govt just dips it's hands into its coffers and releases funds.
Mr man,there are painstaking steps to be taken before the fund is released. Besides that,the first necessary legal step before d release of d funds, the constitution of the board comprising various stakeholders hasn't been done, so any fund release will be null and void under the law.
People exhibiting poor education everyday in Nigeria

And all funds that have been released so far from so-called bailouts to funds for IDPs et al, those ones are perfectly valid under law right?

Southerners should keep sleeping. Is it every statement they actually believe? Every statement or pronouncement from the Presidency should be weighed on the balance of 97% and 5%. GMB made his mindset and thought processes perfectly clear at that point so it is time for Southerners particularly SE and SS to take their leaders to task, open their eyes n fight against every unwholesome infiltration of evil. It starts from the Rivers rerun elections n beyond.

He who has ears let him hear and as the wise ones say, we must use our tongue to count our teeth and use daylight to find n catch the black goat!
