I really have to thank the Government of Buhari for shooting the Biafran cause into the international stratosphere. Buhari made Nnamdi Kanu a bigger celebrity than he was once was. Now Governments and people who didn't know the man are now asking questions. Two days after Kanu was arrested, I got an international call from Poland over this Kanu matter from a Polish blogger who never knew anything about Biafra. Portharcourt, the political and economic center of the South-South witnessed one of its first secessionist protests since the end of the war. Where Buhari miscalculated with Nnamdi Kanu is that Buhari forgot that we are in a democracy. And with his already very bad human rights record, everyday Nnamdi Kanu is detained paints Buhari bad in the eyes of the international community. Many Nigerians don't know it but most developed countries including Britain that created Nigeria consider self determination a right unlike many Nigerians that think it is treason. I'm even hoping they hold Kanu for a while longer, and when comes out and resumes broadcasting, he will completely shred Nigeria to pieces. |
Yes, IPOB India intend to give the Daura Cattle rearer a reception he will never forget! The man does not yet know that Biafra had become an international global movement. |
fagbalex:Which rule of law? There is no country in the world where people get charged to court for singing or burning a flag |
redsconsult:If Syria should befell my people because of Nigeria, it only proves that Biafrans were right to seek their own country. Biafra is coming wether you Nigerians like it or not. I suggest you Nigerians start contacting Lord Lugard to know if he has plan 'B' |
juicee1:It's about the history of Portharcourt not about who is Igbo or not |
Baseless accusations. Chanting war songs and tearing the Nigerian flag is now an act of treason? A waste of courts time |
Port Harcourt was founded in 1912 by Frederick Lugard, governor of both the Northern Nigeria Protectorate and the Southern Nigeria Protectorate. Its purpose was to export the coal that geologist Albert Ernest Kitson had discovered in Enugu in 1909. Although the port was built in 1912, it was not until August 1913 that it was called 'Portharcourt' by the colonial authorities in honour of the then British Secretary of State for the colonies, Lewis Vernon Harcourt. The land was originally the farm lands of the Diobu people, an Ikwere clan, and was called "Iguocha". There are several disambiguities to this name particularly by ethnic Igbos who sometimes call it "Igweocha" and in some situations "Ugwu-Ocha". The discovery of Oil greatly increased the economy of the city which expanded to include Oroworukwo, Mkpogua, and Rumuomasi. In the creeks to the south of the original port were the fishing camps and grounds of the Okrika-Ijaw group. Source:Wikipedia |
Don't mind Ikwere people. Their ownership of Portharcourt and a few Oil wells has blighted their sense of reasoning. I don't know how a people who speak Igbo as their ancestral language and have Igbo surnames can say they know nothing about Igbos. The king of the Ikwere people is the "Eze Ikwere". What Nigerian doesn't know Eze means. Their apex socio-cultural association is the 'Ogbakor Ikwere'. Ogbakor is 'to gather' or 'to come together' in Igbo. However, as much I'm starting to hate Ikwere people for their unfounded apathy, there is something I hate much more, APC. As much as Ikwere people don't deserve Igbo support, we cant let APC anywhere into the SS. It's bad enough that APC got into Imo via the back door. Rivers state is 70% made up of Igbos and Igboid groups, we can't allow APC in there. So I enjoin all Igbos to vote the Ikwere 'turn coat' Wike in because the alternative is APC. |
Candyrain:Don't mind them. They know what they are doing. They know the international community is watching. The recent massive Biafran protest in Portharcourt shook them to their bone marrow because they know that if the Niger-Delta gets on board fully, the game is already up. They have to be seen as having empathy. But they are fooling no one. Nigeria must disintegrate |
Just look at a peaceful protest by people in a civilised country with Spanish Police offering protection and crowd control. That's how I want a future Biafra to be. If it was in backward Nigeria, the Nigerian Police would be shooting Biafran protesters dead and Nigerians would have been chanting their approval for such barbaric act |
Ndokis are not Ijaw!, Ijaws are not Andonis!, Andonis are not Igbos!, Igbos are not Ikwere! Besides the Oyigbos, the Etches, Omumas and other Igbos who have long embraced their Igboness with open arms, is there anyone who knows who he is in Rivers state any more? |
redsconsult:Maybe you think the world starts and stops in Nigeria? Nigeria is just a small space, there are much bigger fishes to fry in the world. |
dialfa:Please ask him. I have never heard of any ethnic group called South-South |
Mortiple:You are still thinking small. Nigeria is but a small dot on the world map. It would be silly to say you must be a Nigerian because of a house you have in Kano or the land you have in Lagos. A people without sovereignty are slaves, no matter what they own. In the event of Biafra coming, nobody will lose assets outside Biafra. No civilised Government siezes the property of a person simply because they are not citizens of that country. There are international laws that guards the assets of a person outside their home country. If you think just Nigeria, then you think small. When it comes to SE/SS, there are no peopple called by these names. Everyone belongs to a tribe and we must answer the names of our tribes. Millions of Igbos were fraudulently put in states that they are not indigenous to. There are over a million Delta-Igbos in Delta state. There are millions of indigenous people in this so called SS particularly in Delta and Rivers state. We cannot be talking Biafra without talking about our kith and kin. I'm happy that in Rivers state, most Rivers Igbos proudly identify as Igbo with the exception of some crazy Ikwere people. Same applies in Delta States |
If Biafra, which was or is a construct of indigenous people living in an area of West-Africa is a fraud, I wonder what I will call Nigeria which is the construct of white European opportunists? An aberration? |
wirinet:Don't be callous! How can you say that the agitation for Biafra starts and stops at Portharcourt? You really think that PH is the only acces point to the sea? Think again. When people talk about "SS", it's almost like they think it is about Rivers state. Has anyone ever wondered what the Ibibio Man thinks about all this? Some people talk about a Niger-Delta Republic but there isn't a shred of agitation for this on the ground. |
As much most Igbos such as myself are now turning to hate Ikwere people, there's something we hate much more and that is APC. Rivers is made up 70% of Igbos and Igboid, dakuku doesn't stand a chance. I'm even amused that some people are now starting to allude that Dakuku is Igbo because he is from Opobo/Nkoro lol |
There's an Igbo adage that says that anyone who takes something from a child and raises their hand so as to keep out of reach, a time will come when their arm will be tired and they will have lower it. The Igbos, MASSOB,IPOB,BZF and other secessionist groups are asking for something that is long over due. The fact that Lugard marched all of us at gun point into Nigeria does not mean we have carry on from where he stopped. I'm an Igbo man, nothing connects with a Yoruba or Hausa man. |
Opobo was founded by an Igbo man called Mbanaso Ozurumba, better known as king Jaja of Opobo. He was was from the Village of Amaigbo in present day Imo state. |
Any map you see of Biafra today is merely a proposal. There is nobody alive that can draw an accurate map of what Biafra will eventually look like. My ideal Biafra is all the states in the SS/SE except Edo state (not excluding Igbanke people. However, we hope that Biafra will come by way of peaceful referendum and their maybe some of the minorities who feel more comfortable in Ngeria. Biafra might even turn out to be an "Igbo only" thing. The most important thing for me is that my people get out of Nigeria. Should Biafra become an Igbo only thing, I want only those who have shown they proud of their Igboness to be part of it. I mean the Delta-Igbos and most of the Rivers Igbos with the exception of the crazy Ikwere people. God Bless Biafra |
The problem with the OP is that he thinks that Biafra is about Ojukwu. Ojukwu only led the movement but the movement was never about him. |
Milkyways:The man spoke the unadultrated truth in that video. If anyone from the SE/SS has the brain power to understand what Asari Dokubo said here, their soul will be truly liberated |
mekaboy:You have a right to your opinion. But when you think about Biafra, you have to think about Nigeria. Nigeria is just an artificial creation of the White man. If Lugard had not come to west Africa, you would have never have even heard the word Nigeria. Nigeria has never worked as a nation. For 55 years, all we have done is fight and kill each other in the name of 'one Nigeria' which is just a creation of European opportunists. Why are we doing this? Why can't we try something different? You said that no African country has seceded in Africa but Eriteria seceded from Ethiopia in 1993. South Sudan seceded from Sudan in 2011. You said that Nnamdi Kanu is insulting. Yes he is. The man actually insults every body even Igbos. The radio station is not for every body. You don't like it, don't tune in. Nnamdi Kanu will not come to force you to listen to him. Nigeria is not doing well because it is not doing well because it needs to break up. The Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa don't like each other, how do you expect any progress to come from this? 55 years, millions dead, 70% porverty rate,wide spread corruption, Boko Haram,disunity.......yet you still wonder why the Igbo man should try something new with Biafra. Think with your head |
FREEDOM4BIAFRA:Thank you Brother God Bless Biafra |
mekaboy:I understand what you mean but you have to remember that a part of a country seceding is not novelty. America or the USA is the greatest country on earth but this country once seceded from Britain. Czechoslovakia was one country but split up into Czech Republic and the Republic. Even Britain that created Nigeria nearly split up last year when Scotland had a referendum. This same Scotland was part of the UK for over 300 years, 3 times older than Nigeria. If all these countries that split up were thinking like you, they would still be in bondage. Today, all of them are enjoying their freedom. I'm an Igbo man, my people survived befoe there was Nigeria, they will survive after Nigeria ends and I believe in my people. Like I said, Biafra will not be easy in the begining, but nothing good ever comes easy. You talked about a poll? Those of us who believe in Biafra would love that Biafra comes by way of a referendum. Let everone vote if they want Biafra or not. I'm confident that most of my fellow Igbos will vote to to have their own independent country, away from Boko Haram, away from political association from Yorubas and Hausas and many other reasons. Yes there are Igbos who don't support Biafra, but if the majority of Igbos vote for a new nation, the minority that don't support it will have to accept it because it's all about democracy, the will of the majority always prevails |
mekaboy:Listen man, you have to remember why you are a Nigerian. Take me for example, I'm an Igbo from Anambra. I freely chose to accept to be a Biafran. Nobody forced me to accept it. I'm even free to change my mind about it tomorrow. Now ask your self why you are Nigerian. You are Nigerian because a British mad man called Lugard came to west Africa, beat up your ancestors, killed many of them and forced the rest that survived to answer the slave name 'Nigerian' he brought with him from Britain. How can you answer a slave name a white man gave you? How can you accept a name that was enforced on you? So you have no right to choose your name but a white can come to your own land to tell you who you are. Biafra is about freedom, it's about letting go of the colonial contraption called Nigeria, it's about a new start after 55 years of disastrous nationhood. If Nigeria must kill people just like they killed millions of Biafrans in 1967-1970 because they want be one, then what is the point of Nigeria? If you decide that you have to remain Nigerian because you don't want to die, then admit to your self that you are a coward who cannot fight for his freedom. Freedom is one of the few things in life worth dying for and we Igbos are not cowards. |
QuotaSystem: |
T8ksy:Oh really? I guess that's why Ojukwu went to Ghana to sign a peace agreement with Gowon? |
mekaboy:Nobody ever said that Biafra will be easy in the begining. There will be a transitional Goverment at first which will put in place all the structure of Government, hold a constitutional or sovereign conference then hold multi party elections |
The Government wanted to erase anything about Biafra especially from the future generation. Talking about Biafra became taboo, Biafra is not even on the history lessons |
Ballmer:What are you talking about? So didn't know that Nigeria and Biafra were at war? Or maybe you didn't know that Edo was in Nigeria? |
