Who ever wrote this is deluded. Kanu is the supreme leader of IPOB. Not Igbos or Ijaws, Ibibio or whatever. IPOB are free to give their leader whatever title they want. Thw writter is saying that Kanu cannot force people to not to vote. Did Kanu force anyone to stay at home. This is a voluntary call by Kanu not to vote in the Anambra elections and if the people decide to heed that call the whose business is it? The writter has asked that Kanu remove the minorities from Biafra that it is causing Igbos insult. When in history has Biafra ever been an Igbo project? The last president of Biafra, General Philip Effiong, was not even an Igbo man. If any minority is insulting Igbos for including them in Biafra, that minority would have insulted Igbos without the inclusion anyway since the same minority is not complaining about being included in Nigeria. Kanu has said many times that he wants referendum, it is only Nigerians such as the writter that is still talking about war It is quite shocking that the writter is well aware that the Nigerian security personell have commited murder against Biafran agitators. He doesnt bother to call out those who are commiting murder like the Nigerian security forces, boko haram, herdsmen. But the witter is very much concerned about the language and rhetoric used bu Kanu who is yet to kill anybody. |
Neither referendum nor restructuring is in the constitution. However, the constitution is not greater than the people |
agbangam:Kids that dont know Nigerian history. You dont even that Murtala conducted 2 coups? |
honourhim:Oh, you think that Kanu is anti-christ for not being a christian? But you want to do "one Nigeria" with Muslims who think you an "infidel"? I laugh in Igbo |
EvilMetahuman:But you forget that Kanu is no politician but a freedom fighter. Politicians are actually Kanu's enemy. It is politicians that want 'one Nigeria' more than anyone else. Reno has a short memory. He seems to have forgotten the vitriol that was poured on GEJ by the North and their SW APC supporters and even FFK at one time. Compared to scorn they heaped on GEJ, Kanu has been kind to GEJ Besides, in the election that followed it was the same area that Kanu wants as Biafra that gave GEJ near total support |
There is something that Nigerians like Reno dont understand. It makes no difference if Kanus influence reduces or rises amongst Nigerians like Reno, Kanu is not in this for Nigeria. What matters is if Kanus influence falls amongst Biafrans like me. Its going to take a lot more than calling an expired politician like GEJ incompetent for that to happen. Reno doesnt seem to realise that Kanu got to where he is by talking the way he does. 'Mr Nice Guy' does not work in Nigeria, thats for more civilised climes. Kanu remains the unwavering maverick he has always been and it aint going to change soon |
starkid1996:You have to first tell us which of these steps Lord Lugard did before he created Nigeria. If Lugard did not do these things then it means that Nigeria is an illegal union that nobody agreed to. So you will have to go and dig up Lord Lugard wherever he is buried, get him to go through these steps so as to create Nigeria legally. After that, we can talk about Biafra. |
OrestesDante:Wether he ends up in Kuje or not, the problem of Nigeria will not go away. Nigeria will still be a disunited disaster of a country. Kanu is probably hoping to return to Kuje, this will make him 10 times more popular than he already is. |
Ovamboland:Which is why Igbos like me thought you guys would be jumping for joy at the mention of Biafra |
Yorubas go to bed thinking of Kanu and wake up thinking of Kanu. They have never seen anything like him. They wonder why Kanu does not bow to the Sokoto caliphate and accept the slavery of 'one Nigeria' just like Awolowo did. |
Aufbauh:The only dead cause here is the zoological Republic |
agbangam:What about murtalas coup that killed only Easterners, why doesnt it have ethnic tag? Dimkas coup was also like that. Why is it only the first coup that has ethnic tag? |
justineu:Stop using the word "force" when talking about Biafra. That word is best suited for Nigeria where all of us where forced into an unholy union called Nigeria by Lord Lugard and the British in 1914. When a person or people are given the choice to join or opt out of something, that is not force Biafra is to be achieved by referendum. If Ikwerre or anyone else dont like Biafra, let them vote in a referendum to continue with Nigeria and nobody will disturb them. Those who vote to stay can stay while those who vote to go can go. This is not novelty even in Nigeria. In 1961, British Cameroon voted in a referendum. Northern British Cameroon voted to join Nigeria while the Southern part voted to join Republic of Cameroon. That is democracy |
The 1914 amalgamation has since proved to be a disasterous mistake. |
dilini:This picture was taken from the Aburi meeting and showing Ojukwu and Gowon eating from the same plate during a break from the meeting. Aburi was the last attempt to resolve the dispute between Gowon and Ojukwu. The reached an agreement to keep Nigeria one and signed the agreement. But when they got back to Nigeria, Gowon broke the agreement and Ojukwu was left with no other choice but to declare Biafra which led to a 3 year war. A lot of people think Ojukwu caused the war, it was actually Gowon who did. |
justineu:Listen man and listen well. Biafra is not an Igbo project same as Nigeria is not a Tiv project. Biafra is an ancient kingdom that covered what is SE/SS and the southern Cameroon and stopped at the Bini empire. In the first Republic of Biafra, the following were held Vice president- Philip Effiong (Annang) Secretary to the Biafran Govt- Mr Akpan (Ibibio) Commander of the Biafran Air force- Lt Col Kurubo (Ijaw) Minister of foreign affairs - Mr MT Mbu (Ogoja) In 1967, when Ojukwu was wondering what to call the new country he was about to declare, it was an Ijaw man called Frank that came up with the name 'Biafra' to remind us all of our ancient heritage. So anyone who thinks that Biafra is all about Igbos is either ignorant of history or being mischevous. In this new agitation for Biafra, IPOB is saying let there be a referendum in the SE/SS to give everyone a chance to be heard. Those who want Biafra can vote to go, while those who prefare Nigeria can vote to continue with it. So how is this forcing people into Biafra? And if anyone says "we didnt ask for referendum", ask the person if they asked for referendum when Lugard was making them 'Nigerians'. Igbo land is much larger than.the 5 states created by military opportunist. How can you have 5 Igbo states but 7 Igbo Governors? Igbos are indigenous to parts of Delta, Rivers, Benue and even cross River. So anyone that says they are being forced into Biafra when they have always been historically Biafran and when this will be decided by the democratic instrument of a referendum simply doesnt know what the are talking about |
HopeAlive14:Because they own Nigeria |
I stopped reading when I saw "Nwazuruike" Only a proper Afonja would write such a thing. |
danidee10:Yes I know what you are talking about. You tried to rename Igbos the way Flora Lugard renamed your ancestors after a common River? |
ScotsReferendum:Forget barcanista. All he cares about is Nigerian politics and his personal interests. Thats why he wants the Ijaws to remain in Nigeria forever begging the North for restructuring/ resource control. |
danidee10:There is no tribe in Nigeria called 'IBOS' |
A great son of Igbo land he was. He fought for the sovereignty of his people. He lived to a ripe old age |
TonyeBarcanista:Lol. How laughable. People like you have no plan for the Ijaw nation except for them to stay in Nigeria and be begging the North for restructuring and resource control. You better get real. Every ethnic group in the south of Nigeria, big or small, will at some point face the same choice Ojukwu faced 50 years ago. Accept "Hausa/Fulani controlled Nigeria" or fight for your freedom. The Ijaw nation does not have to be part of Biafra, however, lets not decieve our selves that there are any choices outside the one I mentioned. Nobody is going to hand anyone freedom on plate, IPOB already knows this. IPOB stands for referendum of the willing, IPOB is not interested in people who are still looking for "one Nigeria" |
mikoyems:Yes, but one of them isnt Nigerian |
honourhim:You dont understand the purpose of election boycott. You think this is about who becomes Governor? Or the outcome of the elections its self? No. This is about the boycott its self. Election boycott is one of the strongest ways for a group of people to send a message that they do not want to be part of a system. IPOB is not interested in who rules Anambra, IPOB is interested in getting the Government to agree to a referendum and Election boycott is one the many ways it is going to use. Drop the naira? That is only possible when Biafra is declared. Participating in elections in Nigeriai optional, using or dropping the Naira is not optional until Biafra is declared as it is the only legal tender. It is foolish to use the Naira as an example. As for restructuring, you better forget about that because the North will not agree to it. Learn from history. 50 years ago, Ojukwu went to Aburi to find restructuring because he felt just like you, that restructuring was better than Biafra or secession. Guess what? 50 years has gone and nobody has seen any restrcturing till today. |
cjrane:Such rumours have been flying around for a long time. Kanu already knows that his life would be under threat. However, he has made his peace with God and is quite willing to lay down his life for his beliefs. We only ask Chukwu okike to protect his children. But I have no doubt in my mind that IPOB, especially the more fanatic ones, will take up arms if Kanu is killed. |
honourhim:Im an Anambra man and I support election boycott. Those of us who are in full support of Biafra are not going to vote in this election or any other. It is time for Biafrans to disengage from the politics of Nigeria that has done nothing but throw up one thief after the other. It will be a bold message to Nigeria and the international community that we no longer want be part of Nigetia or Nigerian politics. |
ofwest47:Are you sure about that? The 1945 Jos massacres, the 1953 Kano massacre, the fall out of the 1963 census and the 1964 election violence and opration wetie of 1965 all point to the fact that Nigeria had a date with destiny in 1966. I dont support the first coup, but lets not pretend that there wasnt already 'fire on the mountain' by the time that coup happend. |
hucienda:A Nigerian is someone who stole the country Federick Lugard created, and after that, stole the name his wife invented. By default, anyone who claims to be a "Nigerian" should arraigned in court on two counts of theft! |
mekaboy:Keep begging, thats why Lord Lugard made you a 'Nigerian' for. To beg people for your own right because you are slave. Keep begging the North for restructuring and control of your lands. Thats what proud slaves of Lord Lugard do. |
mekaboy:Maybe, but at least history will remember we stood up to agitate for what we believed in even if we didnt succeed History will remember you people for begging and licking the a$$ of the North for restructuring, something which should your right. All in the name of "one Nigeria" that has never and can never work. |
