Yo must have had a good time in Onitsha, all peaceful.

I cant say the same for 100,000 Igbos that have been slaughtered in the North since Nigeria was created.

Sydney17:
! No one is a UNITY Begger,the truth is we all cannot do without each other! whether you are Chukwudi Or Rotimi or Musa,together we can make this giant of africa rise again! God bless Nigeria!!

People like you should wake up from sleep. You have been looking for a great Nigeria since 1914 to date, you havent found it. Even a fool will get to a point where he will admit that something that has not worked in 103 years can never work.

Who told you that Chukwudi, Rotimi or Musa cannot do without each other? They did without each other for hundreds of years before Lugard came to force them all together. It is now you think that they cannot survive without each other?

Look, people you should stop these useless threads where you talk about Igbo and president of Nigeria. The presidency of Nigeria has not helped those who held it in the past, it will not help Igbos.

What matters is how Igbos can get out of Nigeria, get their own country and start controlling their own destiny.

Besides the last picture, Nnamdi Kanu is holding prayer sessions in the rest of the pictures

Fremancipation:
Interesting analysis. I wonder why the idea of igbos leaving Nigeria drives some people crazy but the same people don't feel that way when you ask them about Hausa Fulani doing the same. Igbos need to ignore the critics and push on with their agitation for Biafra.

Ojukwu explained it that Nigeria is basically a tripod with three legs, Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo.

Like all tripods, if any one those legs leaves the arrangement, the whole thing will come crashing down. Igbos literally hold the existence of Nigeria in their hands. Igbos go, Nigeria crashes.

omofunaab:
Very biased, he failed to write about the origin of the hate speeches..

Where was he when Nnamdi kanu told his followers to kill pastor kumuyi?

Pdp are the ones behind this Ipob, pdp hardly condemns their hate speeches

Can you show where Kanu instructed people to kill Kumuyi?

nisai:
I told you that south West is already a nation. All states in southwestern Nigeria declared today 12th of June,2017 public holiday to remember MKO Abiola, the elected president that was made never to become. They have one political party. They have the highest and most efficient human resources. The region has the strongest economy in Nigeria. It has the most functional educational system. It is more united than other regions. It manages its religious differences on table unlike other regions Who use arms. The southwest is smartly a nation within Nigeria.

They have everything but they cant do without 'one Nigeria'? Who is fooling who? Besides Lagos which was the collective input of all Nigerians, there isnt anything noteworthy about the SW

Fremancipation:
But that's the problem. People are willing to kill igbos and threaten war if they decide to leave Nigeria but are not willing to do the same if let say Hausa Fulani decide to leave.

Why the double standards?

Because 'one Nigeria' is a fraud and every Nigerian knows it. There are several reasons why the different Ethnic nationalities want Nigeria to stay one or not.

Hausa/Fulani: [/b]Scared of losing out on the proceeds of Oil and Gas and being landlocked.

[b] Yoruba: A people with a long history of fighting to be with every ethnic group around them to create empires, Yorubas have no history of being by themselves. It scares them to be alone and scares them even more for Igbos to leave them alone in Nigeria at the mercy of the North. Nigeria gives them the natural comfort zone they are used to of not having to worry about self determination.

Igbo Igbos fought the Arochuwku war, the Ekumeku war and the Biafran war in other not to be part of Nigeria. They still agitate to this day to leave Nigeria by way of peaceful referendum.

Ijaw: They like Igbos also fought imperialistic rule and triumphed briefly at the Akassa battle. An Ijaw son called Adaka Boro once declared Ijawland to be "Republic of Niger Delta". Ijaws also have a sense of self determination like Igbos but are divided how to go about it. While Ijaws such as Asari Dokubo wants his Ijaws to join Biafra, others like Ateke Tom want resource control/Restructuring.


Efik/Ibibio : It is hard to guage what the Efik/Ibibio sense of self determination is. One thing is certain, it is nowhere near the level of that of Igbos and Ijaws. There are some who want to join Igbos in Biafra, there are others who want resource control. There are some that want something called 'Oyono Republic' although there isnt much steam about it.


One thing is certain, in Nigeria, the center can no longer hold and the country is heading for dissolution.

It is time to de-amalgamate and decolonise Nigeria. This disasterous union called Nigeria has never and will never work.


REFERENDUM!

Nigerians stole the country Lugard created and claimed it as their own!

Nigerians stole the name Lugards wife created and claimed it as their own!

We Biafrans are saying that Nigerians should stop this copyright theft of the work of the Lugard family and call an immidiate referendum to de-amalgamate Nigeria!

After this, anyone still waiting for a name should not wait for Mrs Lugard! There are many Rivers in my state I can name you after.

Ojukwu did not condemn Biafra. He said that another Biafra is no necessary if we have learnt the lesson of the first one

It is obvious that Nigeria has not learnt the lesson of Biafra and that is why it must come again

Loop1:
Wait wait wait . Are you telling us that ibo state has oil .is that what you are saying because I am not sure that is what you are trying to prove .

Every state in the SS/SE had Oil in commercial quantity. The only problem is that some states have developed their own more than others

There is something more important than if Biafra is justified. Is Biafra my right?

Loop1:
No Igbo speaking state has oil .I stand to be corrected .

Must you developers claim everybody land ?.

Really? So what do you think Orient petroleum Anambra, Agip Imo and Shell Abia are?

If after 103 years as a country and 56 years of independence, we are still looking for reasons to be together, then we should not be together.

0b100100111:



They had never known as at that time that he was going to sacrifice 3,000,000 of them on a platter of wood


I just pray devil enters Nnamadi Kanu too so he can thread on same path

You are talking about the 3 million Nigeria killed in the name of 'one Nigeria'? This is why Nigeria should not be. Anything that can kill 3 million people like 'one Nigeria' is something evil and should not be

Uwazuruike is a devil incarnate. This was a man I used to have so much respect for when he began MASSOB. Today, he has reduced himself to an object of mockery and laughter. Uwazuruike is a complete and utter disgrace

Nonaira1:
You'll NEVER see yoruba on threads like this but if it's about igbos, you'll see then running there shouting looking like a two dollar ashawo looking for a John.

Attention seeking wh0re of a tribe

Of course, yoy dont know those people? When someone or group from that calls foe Oduduwa Republic, they will all stylishly disappear because there is no way they can support Oduduwa Republic while fighting Biafra.

As soon a Biafran thread comes up, they will descend on it to preach about the beauty of 'one Nigeria'

laudate:
You are still digressing, rambling and going off-point. Did anyone ask you if the Igbo agreed to any marriage? Did anyone ask you how Scotland became part of the UK? Stick to the topic. The only topic under discussion, is the Igbo quest for a referendum. Ask your elected representatives to go about it the right way, and table the matter in the senate and house of reps, if they are serious. Chikena!

We are not going to ask a country we never agreed to part of to give us a referendum. Instead, are are going to use civil disobedience, protest, non participation in elections and other peaceful and legal means to put pressure on this government to conduct a referendum in the lower Niger.

You Nigerians must think we are stupid. You want us to move a motion in the National Assembly that is 100% guaranteed to fail as the rest of you will gangup to vote for 'one Nigeria'. Laughable

laudate:
Do you see why I do not like schooling little kids like you? It is because you often digress by going off on an unrelated tangent, that is diametrically opposed to the topic under discussion. The issue being discussed is NOT how ethnic groups came together to form a nation. The issue is your ethnic group's desire for a referendum and their clamour for secession, as well as the way they keep expecting other ethnic groups to do their dirty jobs for them.

You chaps want a referendum. No problem. But there is a stipulated process that you have to follow in order to get it. Let your SE senators, House of Reps elected members at federal and state level move the motion for a referendum in the legislature. Simple.

That is how most countries have done it. And that is how Scotland did their own. I repeat: a Welsh or a British MP did NOT do so for the Scottish. Why is that so hard for you to understand? And why are you talking about how Scotland agreed to be part of the UK when they signed the 1707 Act Of Union? Was that the question you were asked?

You were the one who used Scotland as an example of how to go about getting a referendum and all I did was explain to you why the Scottish example does not apply to Biafrans.

Scotland formally agreed to be part of Britain in 1707. They agreed to a marriage. That is why they had to seek a political way out when they sought a divorce.


Igbos on the hand never agreed to be part of the union of Nigeria, they never agreed to a marriage. So how can Igbos be asked to go through a divorce process when there was never any marriage?

Nigeria is the illegal creation of the white man and unless you can show that Lugard went to a national assembly to create Nigeria via a democratic process, dont ask Igbos Biafrans or Igbos to do the same to get out of a union of Nigeria which they were forced into against their will

oluamid:
Errmm... Biafra is named after Bight of Biafra - a 'water body' along the West African coast.

Think of a bay when you think of bight.

Not true. The bight of Biafra got its name from the land of Biafra, an ancient Kingdom that covered much of the lower Niger and Southern Cameroon. I will attach an navigators map to show it

oladeebo:
but who still hold you down now!
you have been set free, no more chain on your legs run!
you want to be capture again?

The only thing holding us is for you Nigerians to agree on the date of the declaration of Biafra so that we Biafrans can go home

Who cares about the president of the zoological Republic?

oladeebo:
in which way?
international what!
are you not in this world?

The Biafrans are saying the want to go, another major section of the country comes out and says that they support Biafra going. When Nigerians start helping the agitation by saying they support Biafran independence, the job is almost done.

The 'Kaduna declaration' has helped IPOB so much. For the first time, the international community are not just hearing the Biafrans say the want their own country, theu are now hearing other people supporting that Biafrans should get their own country.

It is now clear to all Nigerians and the international community that there nothing like 'one Nigeria'

Somebody should tell Okorocha that what IPOB wants is referendum not war. Unless he is implying that Nigeria cannot be split without war. Which means that he should come out and tell everyone that Nigeria is a country kept together by the barrel of the Gun.

Fremancipation:
The igbos resisted British rule for so many years. The Aro confederacy (an alliance that included ibibios) fought them for 12 years. The anioma Igbo fought the longest British resistance in Africa. Lasted for 31 years. It was called the ekwumekwu war.

There is a reason the British feared igbos and made sure to keep them away from power.

Many Nigerians think that Igbos started fighting for their freedom with Ojukwu. The truth is that Igbos were fighting not be part of Nigeria even before Nigeria was created.

drnoel:
If the white woman didn't name Nigeria with that River someone else would have had to so why sweat it. That's not even close to the problems u Nigerians have to combat so far.

So it is the job of the white people to be naming you?

drnoel:
Keep deceiving urself with ur Biafran misnomer. Who gave u guys such a mandate? No one, anyway enjoy ir freedom of speech. Use it well but ask urself a question, if Biafra happens to manifest where will u be? What part will u play in the coming of things? People that will benefit are those that are close to centre. Many of those in my circle though we dont go shouting Biafra, biafra, biafra at any tom, dick and Harry. Learn something from that.

Biafran misnomer? You are a Nigerian who stole the country Lugard created and claimed it as your own. You stole the name Lugards wife created and claimed it as your own. And you call Biafra a misnomer?

How much in royalties do you think you owe the estate of Lugard and his wife for using their work without permission?

Dumaknesset:
What did yoruba and aboki do to your people in the heart of Biafra. Nwa geisha, nwa sardine. After screwing your men and drilling your female. Check your lineage you might be part of the nwa lineage.

What is Nwa?

brownhawk:
comical.i expected you idiots to show up

Look if you are tired of the name Lugards wife gave you, come to me, theres another River in my village I can name you after

aycorporat:
And what was Biafra named after? Let's think before we type not for the purpose of claiming the self deluded FTC

Biafra was named after an ancient kingdom that once covered what people now call SE/SS as well as the Southern Cameroon. This is where the name the bight of Biafra gets its name.

Unlike Nigerians that got their name from a common River.

drnoel:
If the white woman didn't name Nigeria with that River someone else would have had to so why sweat it. That's not even close to the problems u Nigerians have to combat so far.

Sorry but Im not Nigerian. I cant answer the nane of a River and no European has the right to impose a colonial name or country on me. Im a Biafran
