I won't even dignify this ignorance with an answer..

Of course you can't answer. If Ogun was what you said it is, all roads would lead to Ogun. Face it man, outside Lagos, Yoruba land has no economic power.

aresa:
This did not alter my claim that the old western region led by Awolowo built many Firsts In Africa, something the other regions under their own regional governments were unable to do.

So, your view about capital this and that remains mute and irrelevant.



Lagos as the federal capital was confined to Lagos Island, but the commercial drive mainly the industrial estates from Ikeja to Apapa, Matori, Ilupeju and Mushi industrial estates the old western region led by Awolowo were and remains on the on the mainland which was part of the old western region so in effect, the FG's presence remains mute and irrelevant.





This is a reflection of your own ignorance.

Ogun state today sites more industries than the whole of SS and SE combined many times over. All you have in the SE are beer factories and insignificant nothings.. You can not name more than 5 serious industrial operations.







You are agreeing with me that your towns and villages have nothing to offer you, your past and future ibo generations because your unproductive towns and villages can not give you your daily bread hence you migrating to the SW where there is money and opportunity.

Nigerians from outside your land are not tropping to your unproductive land because there is nothing there for them.




Same fluff rubbish. You land can not provide for you.

The only thing of note in what you said is that there are more industries in Ogun state than the SE/SS. So Ogundipe state has more economic and commercial clout than Onitsha. Enlighten me. Where are these industries, is it in Abeokuta or where? What type of industries are in Ogundipe state. I'm intrigued

fineguy11:
Biafra breaking away automatically means the end of the entity called nigeria...what u fail to realize,is that it wld be difficult to achieve biafra if u keep dragging a reluctant south-south region into this scheme...

Biafra will not mean the end of Nigeria. Any ethnic group that doesn't pull out with Igbos will continue as Nigerians with Yorubas and Hausas. When you talk about SS, be more specific. The South-South is not an ethnic group. There are more than 30 ethnic groups in this region, which of them are against Biafra? There are over a million Delta-Igbos in Delta state, are they against pulling out of Nigeria with their Igbo brothers? There are millions Igbos in Rivers state how many of them would rather pull out with their Igbo brothers than be in a Niger-Delta Republic with many other ethnic groups they have nothing in common with? When you talk about the SS, you have to consider what all the individual ethnic groups want. Some of these ethnic groups don't even know each other, some are more at home with Igbos than Ijaws. Don't claim to speak for all these ethnic groups, speak only for your own ethnic group

What is important is the work Nnandi Kanu had done so far, I don't care care about his personal life. Nnamdi has put Biafra on the map and brought it to the fore of public discourse and that's what I care about.

atbu1983:
Why South South Nations Won't Join Biafra. South South nations will rather form thier Own Confederation or seperate Nations

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to Biafra. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from Biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and Hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

As far as I am concern IGBO, YORUBA and HAUSA are all benefitting from the current system. Afterall an IGBO man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 days war.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some south south states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today edo and delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. edo and delta were first Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming edo and delta state today. some tribes speak Yoruba in edo and delta state. why is Yoruba not claiming edo and delta state the way Igbo is claiming rivers and delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?

Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some south south people that they are one of us, it is a big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and Yoruba is the problem of south south, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in Population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Sigapore. if Qatar and Sigapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like qatar and enjoy thier oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer?

As far as I am concern, as unbrainwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout Marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbos were gaining and were in control and were happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting Marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide. However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics
http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics.
This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency:
"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority.
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

We don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front.
What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single country like Biafra is if Nigeria divide by War because population will be important in size of Army.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

I have questions for you. There are over 30 tribes in the SS, why aren't you people agitating for Niger-Delta Republic just like Igbos are for doing about Biafra? Have all these various tribes agree to a Niger-Delta Republic? If you really seeking independence, would it not make more sense to first joining hands with to secede with Igbos then later secede on your own rather than take the much harder route of trying to secede alone from Nigeria?

fineguy11:
it is only a fool that wld want to move from HOT STOVE TO HOT FRYING PAN.....i cant move from being a minority in nigeria and being a minority in another breakaway country...i see nothing wrong in the 'REPUBLIC OF AKWAIBOM'..i rather have this than have a Nigeria 2.0 in the name of BIAFRA..

The question you should be asking your self is if you want Republic of Akwaibom or Republic of the Niger-Delta, is this easier to get in Biafra or Nigeria? An Igbo man is much more disposed to granting you your freedom than a Yoruba or Hausa man ever will. If the Igbos pull out of Nigeria, leaving you minorities behind in Nigeria, you will remain a minority in Nigeria forever

aresa:
Lagos was built before the existence of Nigeria as a country and even before your forefathers navigated their way to Lagos?


lol @ there's nothing in the SW.

Only crazy and insane people troop down to where there's nothing for survival and their daily bread.

Now, how many SW'ners or northerners are trooping to your worthless and economically depressed SE?

Why do you people think with your anus instead of your brain..?

The Lagos you see today was just a slave port until the British moved the capital of the southern protectorate from Calabar to Lagos in the 1800's. Lagos benefited by being the capital of Nigeria for many decades through federal presence and the tax money of all Nigerians. That's what I mean that we all collectively built Lagos. When you come to the South west as a whole, outside Lagos, there isn't a single commercial or economic hub. Not one! But in the South east, you can talk about the markets of Onitsha, the manufacturing base of Aba, the industrial city of Nnewi and the fast rising agro-allied industries of Orlu. These are not even state capitals. Yoruba economic greatness starts and stops in Lagos. I laugh when Yorubas say that Igbos troop to the South west. Igbos troop everwhere they think there is money to be made. From Gabon to Senegal to Ghana to Togo, there are huge Igbo populations. The last time I was in Cotonue, I thought I was in Enugu. Nigeria is too small for the scale of Igbo ambitiousness. The Yoruba Man is nowhere as commercially savvy as the Igbo man, that's why an Igbo man can go to Akure and make money but a Yoruba man doesn't even how to cross the river Niger into Onitsha.

Besides Lagos, which was built by all sections of the country, there is nothing in the South-west.

SovietBomber:
What is wrong with Superstar1 please?

What is the purpose of this silly thread?

Forget the guy. Just another Yoruba guy who cannot get over the fact that some people don't want to be with him in the zoological republic of Lord Lugard.

Ballmer:
Igbo do not even want to be with themselves that is why they would rather sacrifice your likes as OSU for one nonsense deity that can not open his mouth. Igbos are beneath me and I do not desire any business with them. I would rather they sacrifice their entire tribe to the OSU god than have any biz with them.

I wish most Nigerians shared the same sentiment, it would have made Biafra much easier to achieve

Nigerias disastrous 55 year history is testament to the fact that the country does not work as a nation. What the major power blocs of Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba/Igbo want are completely different from each other. The three don't even like each other. If Gowon had kept the Aburi agreement, Ojukwu would not have seceded but Gowon could not keep to terms of the agreement he signed because a confederation was not in the interest of the North. All we have been doing is fighting with each other for 55 years instead of admitting that we are wasting out time with each other so that we can all go our different ways

I don't see the point of this thread. The general consensus amongst Biafra suppoters, me included, is that a referendum be held in the SE/SS area. When the time comes, if the Rivers people or any other people vote to stay in Nigeria, we will wish them well and leave without them. So what is the point of this thread?

The message is far more important than the messenger. Biafra is much bigger than Nnamdi Kanu. Nnamdi Kanu is telling his people to fight for their right in the oppressive Nigerian state. He may use hate speech but let's be real, the Yoruba/Hausa/Igbo man don't love each other anyway. Nobody wants war, nobody is wishing for war. But war comes when one party refuses to be reasoned with. In ever war, there are two sides. On one side are those fighting for their freedom and on the other side are those fighting to take that freedom away. In the case of Nigeria and Biafra, who do you think is fighting for freedom and who is fighting against freedom?

SeverusSnape:
Nice oneeee!!!

Torture the animalistic goat. Let him die a slow and painful death.

If you actually knew what the world will think of Nigeria after watching this, you would bite your words. Nigerians are barbarians

ISpiksDaTroof:
How many Hawaiian leaders are calling for the destruction of the United States? Name them. Why don't you concentrate on Africa and stop talking about things you've got no idea about?

"Nigerians don't seem to know that making verbal threats is not a crime. It doesn't matter who Nnamdi Kanu threatend to kill, he cannot be charged unless the threats were actually carried out. You can't charge a person to court just for what they said will do, you can only charge a person to court for what they are alleged to have done." Really?! You must be out of your freaking mind. Why don't you ---continuously-- come online and social media and threaten to kill the President of the U.S and watch how Special Forces will come to your shiyythole of a country and hunt you and everyone close to you out just to establish if you're a credible threat or not.

Most of you just come on here and pretend to know when you're really ignorant as all hell.

What are you talking about? I have watched a Hawaian chief call for the destruction of the the US right on CNN! I have seen an Australian aborigine insult Prince Charles to his face and accused him and his fellow British of coming from nowhere to steal their lands. There are several far right groups in the US calling for the head of Obama and the destruction of the US. No one is being arrested in these countries because they are civilised countries unlike Nigeria. Nobody can be arrested in these countries just for mere utterances, which is what Nnamdi Kanu did. America will never bomb anyone for what they say. They will only bomb someone who is actively involved in terrorism or linked to terrorist groups. I can be in America and shout from the rooftops that I want to kill Obama and destroy America, they won't even take me seriously. Nnamdi Kanu has called Obama and Cameron all sorts of names, yet he travelled to the U.S. and Great Britain just before coming to Nigeria. Nobody disturbed him in those countries because they recognise his right to free speech. But in backward Nigeria, he was arrested for nothing

logica:
LMAO. Wailers indeed. Everybody but you know where your home is. It is that landlocked enclave called South East. Nigeria did not fight a war to bring Igbos back into Nigeria, but to bring those forcefully annexed into Biafra back into Nigeria. If you didn't want a war, you should have consulted with all the parties involved; but typical Igbo behavior - Judge, Jury and Executioner - you drew a map in the sand and put those who wanted none of your shenanigans in it; without consultation. Even the foremost revolutionary from the South South by the name Adaka Boro fought on the Nigerian side. What does that tell a sensible person?

Naturally, people like you who don't know Nigerian history would not know that Ojukwu consulted all the minorities involved in Biafra. Google the Eastern Nigerian consultative forum when you have time. All the Chiefs and representatives of the 20 provinces of the old eastern region which includes much of what is now known as the 'SS' mandated Ojukwu to declare Biafra. I will even attach their declaration to my post. Unlike Nigeria which was just an artificial creation of the White man, Biafra was by consensus. The minorities may have developed cold feet after the war started but there is no doubt they gave Ojukwu their mandate to pull out of Nigeria. Even if tomorrow, you give the Niger-Delta people the option of staying in Nigeria or pulling out with Igbos, they will still pull out with Igbos. There's a big difference between being landlocked and having no access to the sea. World class sea ports can be built in Oguta in Imo state and in ubuaka in Abia state. Abia state and Imo state have large tributuaries running from them straight into the Athlantic Ocean. Even Ebonyi has a tributuary and Onitsha already has an inland River port on the banks of the River Niger. So if you think we have no access to the sea, think again. Switzerland and Austria are landlocked countries but are amongst the richest in Europe. Seaport is not what makes a country. As for people like Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa. It is expected that not everyone will support the idea of Biafra, not even all Igbos. What is important is what the majority of people want.

The funny thing is that if an Anioma/Ikwere/Etche man is in Yorubaland, the Yoruba Man will see no difference between them and an SE Igbo and call him "Omo Igbo"

Delafruita:
what sort of senselessness is this?perhaps you don't know Nigeria has passed its antiterrorism law and according to that law,just thinking about committing a crime or inciting others to commit a crime related to terrorism is treason.not to mention actively encouraging people to kill and maim people.the law now seeks to prevent crimes from been committed by nabbing the would be terrorists before they strike.

I am even surprised KANU was granted bail.he should have been held for 2days,allowed a visit by his attorney and then held indefinitely which would be in accordance with the anti terrorism law of 2011.

all those biafrans that keep listing the examples of Scotland and Catalonia while at the same time advocating violence against the Nigerian state are as ignorant as the people of south Sudan.did Scotland engage in threats of violence?has Catalonia called Spain a zoo with people from other parts been animals?

advocates of a war of secession shouldn't compare 2015 with 1967.in 1967,ojukwu was a GOC of a section of the army with control over arms and men,a pogrom had just happened and tensions were high which saw massive influx of Igbo's back to the southeast which made a large pool of able bodied men available for drafting into the biafran army.this is 2015.we are in a democracy which means the president has absolute control over the military so unless there is a plan for a coup by the Igbo's,followed by a massive return of all Igbo's to the east,I wonder what Magic the ipob expect to perform militarily.

Scotland isn't a good example for biafrans because Scotland already had its own government.it simply wanted to leave the united kingdom and be on its own.and for those ipob people who don't know,the scottish move failed because of the Scots who live within Scotland majority of who are connected to the business of scotch which in reality is almost every major business in Scotland.there are laws in place which were enacted by the united kingdom to protect the scotch industry by making it the exclusive preserve of the people of Scotland to produce Scotch within the UK and all over Europe and the Americas.there were fears that if Scotland breaks away,Salmon and his new government won't have the clout to maintain those treaties which will mean scotch could be produced everywhere else.a move which will destroy the Scottish economy.
I believe a referendum for Biafra will fail just like scotland because those Igbo's who maintain their livelihood in other parts of the country will vote against it.even the Igbo's within proposed Biafra who depend moving their goods to other parts of Nigeria will. vote against it because a break means more conditions before they can sell their goods.

my two cents

You are making a lot of mistakes here. There is nowhere in the world, I repeat, nowhere in the world where people are charged to court for a crime that is yet to committed. There is no provision anywhere in the world for charging someone to court over "verbal threats". It simply cannot happen because takes away freedom of speech. Do know the number of people who "threaten to kill" someone on the streets of Nigeria everyday? Why do think nobody has ever been arrested for this? I have never heard anyone being arrested for "thinking" about commiting a crime, that's just laughable. How can you know what a person is thinking in their head. You talked about inciting to acts of terrorism. Do you know what incitement means? It means that Nnamdi Kanu actively equiped people with weapons and sent them out to do harm. What known act of terrorism can you ascribe to Kanu? Is it what he said over the radio? Again, that comes under freedom of speech. If I tell a person to go and commit a crime but that person never did, how can I be charged for something that did not happen? Do you know how many gangster Rapp music are out there using foul language to tell people to take up arms and commit crimes? Have you ever heard about any gangster rapper arrested for this? There isn't one single act of crime that can be ascribed to Kanu. All he did was excercise his constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech. People do not get charged for what they say, they get charged for what they do.


When it comes to secession, Biafra,Ojukwu, using Scotland and Catalonia as examples, the progom and all other things you wrote. There only two important things to consider. That Nigeria is just an artificial and illegal creation of the White man. Nigeria has no legitimacy whatsoever because the consent of the indigenous people of the land such as Igbos was not sought before it was created. Therefore, Nigeria is a fraud.

The second thing to consider is that the Igbo tribe (as do any other tribe) have the God given right to decide for themselves if they want to be Nigerians or not. It is not for Lugard to come Britain to decide for us. These two reasons are why Nnamdi Kanu and his secessionist bid are legitimate. If the Igbos don't want to be with Nigeria, then Nigeria has no business being with Igbos

Ballmer:
Examining the political landscape of Nigeria with the agitation of the of the Igbos for Biafra and comparing the sacrifice and burden the NigerDelta bear in Nigeria yet you hardly see them agitate to secede. I believe one of their prominent son on NL "Tonyebarcanista" who as so many articles to his name as never agitated for succession not even once.

While it is obvious governors of the NigerDelta have mostly performed below par Godswill Akpabio is arguably the best performing governor in that last transition. Wouldn't he do beta if he was the president of a NigerDelta federation with more fund ? Does it not make sense for the NigerDelta to secede considering the marginalisation, deprivation and outright theft of their God given wealth with northerners even owning more oil wells than the NigerDeltans ?



This observation is puzzling and a reason to ask why the Igbos want Biafra ?

The Igbo cry marginalisation daily and I ask what exactly are the Igbos marginalised of ?

What as the entire 5 Igbo states contributed to the federation, human capital or revenue ?

How much crude oil does the 5 Igbo state contribute to the federation account ?

How much internal generated revenue is sourced from the five Igbo states into the federation account ?

What exactly does the five Igbo States in Nigeria produce that generate foreign exchange into the federation account ?

Do Igbo States without crude oil share from the crude account like all northern states ?


Finally why do the Igbo believe they deserve preferential treatment in Nigeria when it's obvious their region generate second to the least into the federation account if you consider the SS SW NC and maybe the NW contribute more resources into what keep Nigeria running than the Igbos.

It is because you have slave mentality that you are still asking all these useless questions. The bottom line is this:


If Igbos don't want to be with you, then you have no business being with Igbos!!

ocelot2006:
Who said we Niger Deltans want Biafra? No thank you.

Of course they don't want Biafra. What they want is the Almajiris of the North and the greedy Southwesterners to come and collect their Oil wealth on a daily basis abi?

fleshbone:
Seriously?

You mean if you take a record of the threats to the court, it would be disregarded?

Unless that threat was actually carried out, it will not even reach court. Nigerians seem not to understand that you can't charge a person to court for a crime that was never committed in first place. It doesn't matter if Nnamdi Kanu threatend Nigeria or anyone, what matters is if he carried out the threat.

Nigerians don't seem to know that making verbal threats is not a crime. It doesn't matter who Nnamdi Kanu threatend to kill, he cannot be charged unless the threats were actually carried out. You can't charge a person to court just for what they said will do, you can only charge a person to court for what they are alleged to have done. Another thing is that the law on sedition has long been abrogated long ago so no one can be charged for this. Most of these charges are baseless. When it comes to the charge of treason. Calling for secession is not an act of treason. If it were treason, Scottish leaders would have been arrested,Catalonian leaders would have been arrested, Hawaiian leaders would have been arrested. Self determination is a legitimate right of man.

All the charges are baseless

Just listend to a female caller on Radio Biafra who recounted a story of how the Nigerian police shot at women in Awka the state capital of Anambra . According to her, elderly women,mothers, young women held a peaceful protest march in Awka today demanding the the release of Nnamdi Kanu. On getting to Government House Awka, Police men stopped the crowd and ordered them back. The crowd refused, insisting on exercising their fundamental right to hold peaceful protest. That's when the Police now opened fire on them using live bullets and tear gas. The caller stated that there was pandemonium and many of the women were injured in the stampede that followed. She also stated that while she did not see anyone get killed, she counted 5 women with bullet wounds. Those of them who managed to escape and ran to Aroma junction were pursued by the police men in Hilux vans and many arrested.


I can't verify any of this because I'm not in Anambra at the moment but if it is true, I want to tell Nigerians that Nigeria is a terrorist state. It is the height of callousness for any uniformed force to turn its guns on the very people it swore to protect without good reason. To make matters worse, we're talking about women here, mothers. How anyone can advocate the killing and illegal detention of people just for the peaceful agitation of Biafra is beyond me. How can anyone say that Nigeria is sacrosanct when the same Nigeria is an artificial and illegal creation of the White man? So I as an indigenous African Igbo man has no right to Biafra but a White man called Lord Lugard has the right to create Nigeria? The hypocrisy of Africans can be amazing and that's why we never move foward.




God bless all those who suffer for their God given right to choose to be Nigerians or not. God bless all lovers of Biafra and the right to self determination and may God bless Biafra.

thomasthomas:
The igbos are a confused set of people in Nigeria. Today, they want Biafra, tomorrow they want Igbo Presidency. Isn't this funny?

Now the most annoying thing is they want to pull other people into their confusion. I just saw a thread about a protest in Akwa Ibom by IPOB; this is a fat lie. Do not bring your confusion to Akwa Ibom, do not try what you did in Port Harcourt in Uyo, we do not want to associate with confused people.

If the agitation is for the 5 south Eastern states I believe by now, Biafra would have been like Lesotho in south Africa but trying to drag South South States to the confusion will not work.

Follow confused Nnamdi Kanu at your own perile!

Ata ayin Akwa Ibom!

How come you Yorubas think that Igboland ends in the 5 southeast states? It's almost like saying that Hausa land ends in Nigeria when Hausas are in South Niger, North Benin Republic and north Ghana. A Hausa man is currently president of Ghana. These Yorubas can be funny

jpphilips:
I really thought you had something to say

Of course to someone like you who has no sense of self determination, I have nothing to say.

I'm the Igbo man who has freely chosen Biafra as my country and you are the Yoruba man that Lord Lugard came from Britain to beat up,shoot, threaten and force into his impreriaistic slave program called 'Nigeria'

Of course I will not have anything to say

Stillfire:
The bigger fool is the one who would follow a cause without appropriately analyzing the situation.

We have all had 101 years of unity and 55 years of nationhood to thoroughly analyse Nigeria. You know my verdict? Complete and utter disaster. The quicker the Igbo man gets out of the British invention called Nigeria the better for him. This not to say that Biafra will solve all our problems, but it is a start. There is no set in stone way of achieving self determination. Some people achieve it by consensus, others by dialogue and others, by force. The important thing is that it must be achieved. It will be up to Nigeria to decide which road we all go down

Hypocrisy is when you say an Igbo man has no right to Biafra but turn around to say you are a Nigerian just because Lord Lugard came from Britain to tell you so.

The Zoological Republic of Nigeria must fall!!

Which zoo are you living in? The zoo ur forefather's grew up in or what?

The zoo founded by the Zookeeper called Lugard in 1914

chiddye:
"if". Biafra finally liberates herself from Nigeria the same leadership problem crippling Nigeria would cripple Biafra too. the sooner Igbo people start embracing Nigeria the better for them all this anti Semitism should stop

me I love naija and am a proud IBO boy!

You have been embracing Nigeria for 100 years, what did you get out of it?

chccho:
the funny thing now is that this biafran writer is probably based somewhere in d SW,I can bet u are in Lagos...the question is why can't u stay in that ur village and wear ur red cap,y all o u n it brothers full ladipo n alaba? Oga u don't have to wait for Nigeria to come to an end,u can lead by example n move to your biafran republic..for those of us that like it here in Nigeria leave us make we enjoy or u can go n drown in d lagoon

Until Biafra is restored or agreed to in principle, all Igbos are entitled to stay wherever they like. Igbos will not move from Nigeria to Nigeria, they can only move from Nigeria to Biafra. In 1967, most Igbos returned home to face Biafra, it did not stop Nigerians from shouting 'one Nigeria!' all over the place and coming down to the east to start a war. So this time around,the date of the declaration of Biafra must be known before we start goInga back home to our new country. An Igbo adage says that you can't push a person down and at the same time take away the the ground where he or she will fall to. Nigeria cannot expect Igbo to go back home when Nigeria has not yet granted Igbos a home to back to.
