2. The constitution is the supreme reference in the affairs of Nigeria so you have no choice than to abide by it or have it amended. How do you intend to convince the required 2/3 to vote in favour of your referendum amendment when you're busy insulting, blackmailing, threatening and spewing hatred at them daily through your agitation?

Awaiting your civil response.

No one is going to go to your Nigerian assembly to get referendum. Besides this being a complete waste of time (no Nigerian National assembly is going to vote to either have a referendum or let Igbos go) why would Igbos be going to a national assembly for their freedom when nobody went to the same national assembly to include Igbos in Nigeria? Which national assembly did Lugard go to in other to inckude Igbos in Nigeria. If nobody can tell us then it means that Igbos are being held hostage

Obiano is an unrepentant morron. Obiano, you were there, you heard that unarmed people were being gunned down in your state. Instead of you to rise up as the chief security officer of your state and condemn this broad daylight murder, you went to a Mosque in Onitsha to make sure it wasnt damaged. You cared more for the welfare of a building than you cared about the welfare of people being shot and killed while exercising their right to freedom of expression.

Now you are speaking to Biafrans on their 50th Anniversary? The same Biafrans who lay in hospital with bullet wounds you did not care about?

Shame on you Obiano. If it were not the fact that you belong to the party of our Great Ikemba, you would have been a goner 8n this years elections

michealdeco:
so on Monday that ur so called son didn't go to school did Nigeria pay his school fees for him??

Stop reasoning from your anus and reason like a human being

So you went and resurrected this thread from last year just to give the impression that the sit at home did not work in Imo?

dapsonlou:
As Much As the Protest is a Good Idea to Show the Strength of IPOB, What Was gain by this Protest. Iya Amara that needs to Sell her Akara in Other to put food on the table and pay off some debt was denied the opportunity to go and sell her Products. Shyboy who depend on the little change he adds on the spare his boss Employed him to sell, will defiantly Go Hungry that day. I can Go on and on with Different Example. A peaceful Match to the State house Would have been better, With massive crowd. Just my Opinion.

By the Way we are going to Suffer this Buhari economy Together, IPOB can reapply for Igboxit in 2023. Lol

Why are you drinking paracetamol over another persons pains? Eh Afonja?

Abagworo lies exposed

Forget that 'sabo'. Him and his master, Okoroawusa, have been thoroughly embarassed by the highly successful Sit-At-Home

phrankchek:
Thats the truth... If you are in the east you will understand better. Majority of people at home are afraid what these lots will do to them if they dont comply. else who in his right senses will close his means of livelihood in this harsh economic times? The Governors have failed in developing the region and you're shouting biafra...

If you have nothing good to say then shut your mouth. The people at home are afraid of who? The same IPOB who are at home too? The same IPOB that has never touched anyone?

Chukwu Okike is in charge!

Congratulations Biafrans on what seems to be a a resound8ng victory. Report reaching me from.my home state of Anambra is that Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka are on total lockdown

Chukwu Okike nara otito!

One of the most stupid things to come out of Awolowos mouth was "All is fair in war"

That a Lawyer like him could say something so ridiculous is incredible

Udmaster:
Shame on ur delusional head.
Shameless attache by force, SS Minorities don't want you, you are still begging them?
A man with no pride.

The only person that is shamelessly begging is you. You have grabbed several ethnic groups that dont even know you and called them 'SS' minorities when the same SS is not recognised in the constitution.Why are you speaking for other people? You speak for Igbo, you speak for Ijaw, you speak for Ogoja, you speak for Ibibio. Why the atrachment? It means you are doing the same thing you are accusing the Biafrans of doing.

Funny people. Anyone except the blind can see that Kanu is praying in all the pictures. What do people do when they are being prayed for? They kneel or bow!

Udmaster:
Ipobs, Today you will know that South South minorities don't want your Biafra.
No one is sitting at home in their land,
take your Biafra, they don't want and there will never be any refrendum on their land.
Shame on the deluded Ipobs who are on false hope that Ijaws, Urhobos, Ogonis, Isokos, Annangs etc are interested in Biafra.
They don't want you!
I love this idea of a HOMOGENOUS IGBO NATION.
It is what I want.
IPOBS face reality and stop dwelling on false solidarity with south south minorities.

I dont know why some of you like starting useless theads. In this thread, you have not even be able to face your own ethnic group, you already claiming to know what Ijaws, Ogonis, Annangs and the rest of them want.

Funny people, they dont even know that the last president of Biafra, General Philip Effiong, was an Annang man.

You peoole should stop this 'attach by force' in the name of an unconstitutional 'South-South'. Speak only for your tribe, other tribes can speak for themselves.

Those who want others to learn from history brazenly removed same history from the curricular!

What an irony.


Hypocrites

Removing Biafra from the history curricular was one of the ways Northern Military leaders hoped to kill any mention of Biafra. What they simply failed to understand is that once an ideology has taken root, cutting the stem off is of no use as it will grow back again. The only way to kill an ideology is to have superior ideology to the existing one. Nigeria hasnt got that

drake2000x:
IPOB Must Boycott All Anglican Church At Home And Around The World Unless The Archbishop of the Enugu Province, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma recalls his statement, apologizes or removed. We will teach you a big lesson to know that over 90% of Anglican church congregation in Nigeria are from SE and SS. The Catholic church another SE and SS dominated church has been supportive of IPOB and mostly neutral because they know we fund them, and without SE and SS they have no business in Nigeria. We will teach Anglican Church a big lesson.

Every Sunday you receive offertories and gifts: money, Turkey with big laps, agric chicken, uncle ben's rice, organic juice, salmon fish (non fat), plus you live in furnished quarters with cooks and maids, ride in Lexus, get free vacation and seminar funds, you enjoy all these from the pockets of IPOB for free, and you have the God's to spew that nonsense because DSS threatened you? What's stopped you from staying neutral? You think we give you all these gifts for free? We will teach you a big lesson.

This is a stupid thread. Bishop Chukwuma is entitled to his view.

Every Biafran soldier always had the Biafran rising sum emblem on both sleeves. The officer watching the execution has no Biafran emblem on his sleeve.This picture shows Nigerian Soldiers executing Biafran Soldiers

ediman:
why should IPOB force people to sit at home when they're the same people crying about Nigerian government forcing them to remain in Nigeria.

What do you mean force people? Is IPOB going to lock people in their houses? Or will they chase anyone who comes outside back into their house?

The same IPOB members will all be in.their houses praying. So how exactly is IPOB forcing people to stay at home?

It is something that some people think ill of Kanu, but here is Kanu praying for the souls of those who were mudered at this venue last year by the Nigerian security forces.

Kanu himself is yet to kill anyone.

ediman:
Today on radio Biafra, a man called on live radio braodcast to inform the Radio Biafra Deputy Director Uche Mefor, that he send a death threat to a top business man in Nnewi market because the man vowed not to obey the sit at home order.


Tomorrow IPOB will say they are not a violent group. This is the reason why the federal government have deployed heavy security in the south east to curb the violence IPOB may want to unleash to people who do not obey the sit at home.

This thread is useless. People make threats all the time. What is important is if the threat is eventually carried out

Bishop Chukwuma Iscariot

Forget Bishop Chukwuma, he represents a small minority in the cleargy

shachris02:
Nnamdi Kanu is a criminal. He's an opportunist that has mastered his art from the very best. There's no difference between Nnamdi kanu, Mohammed Yusuff (boko Haram), Osama bin ladin (Al - Queda/Isis) and other extremist out there. They all have one thing in common, they capitalize on the general frustration of the people to propagate pacifying ideals that the people only dream about (equal sharing of wealth under the islamic law for mohammed yusuff with boko haram, Biafra eldorado for Nnamdi Kanu with biafra).

That said, the truth is Biafra as a Nation died with the war. Every other thing you are made to believe now are just mere innuendos. You can never have the biafra of old with the present crop of Igbos and Igbo leaders we have. Oge ahu aga go!

Tomorrow, the so called biafrans would be remembering their fallen hero. The trust is, most of them do not even know what those heros died for. They didn't die for you to be bowing down to your fellow man (aru!!). They didn't die for your get rich at all cost syndrome. They died to give you the freedom and freewill to emancipate yourself from self pity and mental laxity.

My people have always believed in the oneness and strength of the individual mind (igbo enweghi eze). Nnamdi kanu is trying to destroy this very core of the igbo existence. He is a con man that has ridden with the times to propagate ideals that are very dangerous to our very existence.

As we remember our fallen heroes tomorrow, let us also bear in mind that Biafra is not some eldorado kingdom where everything that plagues the igboman would be settled, Biafra is now. Biafra is in your hearts. When you help your fellow igbo man, that is Biafra. When you bring your businesses home so that your kinsmen would be gainfully employed, that is Biafra. Biafra is an ideology, Biafra is not a place.

One Nigeria apologist/unity begger. Do you know why what you wrote above is trash? You are far more focused on the messenger (Kanu) than the message its self (self determination).

Self determination is an inalienable right of man. You dont have to like Kanu, Kanu is not leading IPOB in other to win a popularity contest.

What is important is for us all to aknowledge and respect that it is the right of the indigenous ethnic groups of the land to decide for themselves if they want to continue with British colonial identity known as 'Nigeria' imposed on them, or, if they wish to continue on a different path.

Chigboboss:
I'm not a coward or pacifist (as called by some ignorant brothers) but a REALIST. Stop the UNNECESSARY taunts towards the North and ponder on the following;

Can we match the northern controlled Army, Air-force and Navy?

Do we have any arms or weapons stockpiled for any eventuality?

Do you know 99% of Nigeria's military establishments and armories are in the same north you are bragging against?

Are the IGBOS in the north not 15x the number of northerners in our homeland so would suffer the hardest blow?

Do you want millions of our kinsmen dead again because of pride that will take us nowhere?

Do we have the US/UK as allies like the north? Did you see what they used their US/UK influence to do to poor Jonathan?

Did your father experience the war and tell you of the horror they survived? Do you know up till now my mother is traumatized whenever war is mentioned?

Returning fire for fire is not by sitting and punching sentences on your keyboard. Stop letting your fingers write cheques that your skin cannot cash. I am a PROUD IGBO man that fears nobody but I am smart enough to know my limits.

I implore all REASONABLE brethren to storm social media and debunk the "Cow named Buhari" tale and I implore my IPOB brothers to shelve the slaughtering of that cow because it is hugely SYMBOLIC. Nobody is saying cower and fear the northerners (Tufia!) but stop the unnecessary taunting.

I have lived long enough on earth to know how to pick my battles wisely. A word is enough for the wise.

Look man, if naming a cow Buhari can result to just one person (Igbo or not) be attacked or killed then it is incumbent that Igbos leave Nigeria as fast as possible.

Would any Northerner be attacked if they call their cow 'Ojukwu'?

Lets hear word

Jaideyone:
check my post history. Beg your senators to move the motion for a referendum. I'm sure the middle belt and sw will support it. Better still vote people that want Biafra in 2019. That's how the Scots got their referendum

Oh really? And where did Lugard move the motion for you and I to be Nigerians?

Jaideyone:
just a few days osibanjo talked about learning from history but these mor0ns will never listen.

the driving factor in the killing of the ibos prequel to the civil war was the killing of the premier of the north and the taunts that followed by ibos living in the north.

yes hausas have a lot of uneducated street urchins that can become weapons of murder but the ibos are not helping matters either.

if Buhari is 74 (official age maybe 80 real age) and its normal for old people to have health challenges. as a Yoruba man and an advocate of a better Nigeria (true federalism) I believe he did the right thing handing over to the VP but I don't support his decision to seek ,medical care abroad.

yes it's OK to call for his resignation or maybe even impeachment but wishing the man dead and attributing geriatric illness to God's wrath and saying all sort of silly things in just dumb. what do we have to gain by making inflammatory statements about the presidents health and wishing him dead? you might not like his policies but playing politics with someone's life and wishing him dead makes you just as bad as the uneducated Hausa fulanis who are ever willing to kill innocent people.

long story short the ibos are just as guilty in destroying the unity of this country as the Hausa and Yoruba. in fact the ibos are trying harder to pull the country down.
God forbid Buhari dies there will be jubilation in he south east and that will fuel another round of hate and probably killings in the north.

we are the architect of our own misfortunes not the British that brought us together

So after thus your whole write up, why not support Igbos going their way? Igbos have tried to do this before, you Nigerians fought to bring them back

The truth remains which cannot be washed away. Nigerias argument is :-

We loved Igbos so much that we couldnt let them go, so we had to kill over 3 million of them in other maintain one Nigeria

If I wasnt Igbo, I would have laughed at this crude joke. But the reality is that if you have to kill that many of people of who you call brothers, then you have no idea what brorherhood means.

Mcowubaba:
IPOBs have embrassed Igbos, yes I'm amongst the people who say you can't really differentiate IPOBs from Igbos, because when IPOBs carry out an activity, it is viewed as an Igbo activity.

Even E warriors on Nairaland, degrades and scorns the Igbo tribe because of the activities of IPOBs.

The mostly don't mention "Igbo" when the are cursing, probably because of the Ban associated with insulting a tribe here on Nairaland. (Rule 2)

I write this with a very heavy heart, I'm tired of the insults, scorn and degradation that has been heaped on the Igbo tribe, which was instigated mostly by some activities of the IPOBs here on Nairaland and other social media.

These behaviors from IPOBs are the reasons why Igbos are mocked

1)NOT everybody who opposes an Idealogy/opinion from Baifra/IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu, automatically becomes a Yoruba person, or Northerner, this is actually a very insane way of reasoning, it deeply troubles me, I have been accused of being an AFONJA (as e-warriors call it), Yoruba Muslim etc, just because my opinion differs sometime on some actions/activities of IPOBs.

Whether you like it or not, there still thousands, if not millions of Igbos who don't TOTALLY subscribe to the Ideology of IPOBs (please note, TOTALLY, which means the probably agree to few ideas/suggestions raised by IPOB) . I fall in this category, I'm not opposed to IPOB or Biafra, I just don't totally agree with All their ideas nd procedures.

Most IPOBs I have meet online and physically are very abusive, angry and frustrated, the can't argue without insulting your family or generation, or tagging you a Yoruba Muslim or unity beggar.

The hardly argue objectively and logical, no wonder the are tagged Touts, Radicalised

2) Please stop including non Igbo States as part of the planned Biafra or succession movement, I know numerous threads and topics have been created regarding this, but all had failed to educate the IPOBs here...
This particular behavior has caused Igbos so much insults and mockery, hardly a day goes by without someone from a Minority tribe, will create a thread warning Igbos to stay clear from their land, almost every ethnic group has warned IPOBs to stop attaching them to Biafra...
A famous IGBO adage says "Biri Kam Biri" live and let live.

IPOBs have classified those who are interested in the Nigerian project as slaves, slave masters, unity beggars, zombies etc..

This is highly illogical, you can't force some ethnic group(s) to Join your struggle, highest you can do is to have a meeting with them, where you can discuss how the will be better off in Biafra than remaining in Nigeria, this is done through advocacy, lobbying etc. And if the still don't agree with the terms or the succession movement, please LET THEM BE.

Allow them to decide their own faith..
For point of clarity, Biafra states now should be restricted to only the 5 Igbo states.

Let's leave all this Delta communities, Akwa Ibom, Benue or River's communities

I don't need a lesson of history or origin, on how there are indigenous Igbo people in some the aforementioned states... Or how the were part of Biafra during the Civil War..
Let us leave them ALONE.
The insult from them is becoming unbearable.
And sincerely, I don't blame them, you can't force down your idealogy on some one else....

To be continued

Look man, you guys should stop this nonsense you keep writting. Biafra is not an Igbo agenda. As I always say, the last president of Biafra was General Philip Effiong who was not an Igbo man. When Ojukwu was president of Biafra, the next two most important men after him were, General Philip Effiong ( Vice president) and Mr NU Akpan (Chief secretary to the Biafran Government). Neither man was Igbo. Trying to reduce Biafra to an unconstitutional 'South East' or trying make it an Igbo affair is nonsense. Biafra is about the tribes of the lower Niger who are tired of 'one Nigeria' and wish to forge a separate existence from Nigeria. That is why Biafra is anchored on referendum. Let those who want to go, have thier say, and those who want remain in Nigeria have their say.

That is democracy, are you not a democrat?

If we are to follow the logic that Delta state was never part of Biafra and should not be part of it, we should also follow the logic that Delta state was not part of Nigeria before Lugard came and should not be part of it

Referendum is about freely choosing your future democratically, so how can that be 'by force'?

It is only Nigeria that is 'by force'

nuelsylves:
You mean Ikwerre dialect of Igbo? That's what I heard.

Just as Arochukwu dialect (Abịa state)
Ngwa dialect (Ebonyi state)
Mgbọ dialect (Eboyi state)
Nsukka dialect (Enugu state)
Ukwani dialect (Delta State)
Ekpeye dialect (Rivers)
Ezza dialect (Eboyi state)
Ikwo dialect (Eboyi state)
Agbor dialect (Delta State)
Ogba or Oba dialect (Rivers State)
Ụmụezeohaka dialect (Benue state)
Owerre dialect (Imo State)
Awka dialect (Anambra State)
Idimili dialect (Anambra State) etc

Among all 'Izugbe' dialect is spoken generally by all Igbos.

True

In central Igbo, 'our land' is 'Ala anyi' although some will say 'ana anyi' or even 'ani anyi'

But Ikwerres say 'ela anyi'

Just a minor difference. Ikwerre is a dialect of Igbo. I understand it more than I can understand Izzi/Ezza

SuperS1Panther:
See the face of the coward that led 3millions to the Golgotha and led the rest into eternal servitude to Nigerians as Osus.

Well at least he fought for the freedom of his people for 3 years before he ran away.

You guys surrendered to the Hausa/Fulani emirate of Sokoto without a fight because you did not have the guts of Ojukwu.

The zoo must fall!

nuelsylves:
The man was even speaking Igbo too and I heard everything with ease.

Tomorrow some people will say Ikwerres are not Igbos.

What's different between Igbo language and what this man spoke in the video.

Nna, your ears must be sharp. I could only understand about 70% of the Ikwerre the man was speaking
