FFK is saying the unadultrated truth. Besides the traitor called Okorocha who used the name of Ojukwu to win elections after several failed attempts, then ran away with the mandate to APC, all other Igbos who joined APC are those who have become politically irrelevant and hope that APC will use federal might to rig them back into office.

The zoological Republic of fraud Lugard!

Biafran women can no longer even hold peaceful meeting without security agents coming for them?

What a disgrace of a country!

xstry:
shut up dia

Is that the best you can do to defend the slave name "Nigerian" which the white man gave you?

Nice one. I absolutely love it that our kids are being taught at an early age to reject the British colonial horror creation called Nigeria.

If this had been done for me and my age mates when we were that age, Kanu would not have needed to even bother himself because we would have achieved our independence as Biafrans long ago

Alariwo2:
Buhari has really changed tbh..
These stubborn compressed heads don't understand that Nigeria's constitution doesn't allow illegal groups or societies operating within her territory.

Even the U.N understands this.. they can be regarded as terrorists to be flushed out just like BH

But Igbos don't think, they only cry

And your useless constitution also ok's the shooting of unarmed people?

dee02:
Bunch of time wasters wasting their meagre resources on some stupid and dead movements!
Fu...cking lunkheads

A dead movenent can be revived and it might work. Much better than wasting time on a hopeless British created product called Nigeria that has never worked.

Nice one, the coming together of the leader of MASSOB and IPOB. I dont care if they fuse together or work independently, as long as they work for the realisation of Biafra.

Adebola314:
Imagine this...


Soon as dem release dis shameless fraud of Kanu, instead of heading home to his people...

This charlatan did not visit his parents
This charlatan did not visit relatives of those who lost their lives supporting him
This charlatan did not visit the political elders of iboland
This charlatan did not visit their Ohaneze
Instead, Nnamdi Kanu disgraced himself by rushing straight to FFK dining table
A coke addict who once insisted that all ibos must be deported from Lagos
A misfit and social outcast in yorubaland who has a penchant for abusing ibos
Ibos, it seems have a short memory. That is why they are not seen as serious people in this country
Only interested in money.....and Amala and ewedu!

In other words, you and your Afonja brothers are more concerned with who Kanu went to have lunch with? This is the most important thing? Wow, I even thought you guys were serious.

Yorubas eternally shouting restructuring!

But if you ask any Yoruba man how restructuring will be achieved in light of the Norths opposition to it, the same Yoruba man will scratch his head, look up at the sky and keep quiet.

Tomorow, he will start shouting restructuring again.

Restructuring has become a form of grandstanding that the Yoruba nation uses to forever avoid facing the obvious truth.

That the power hungry North will never allow restructuring because restructuring will take away the only reason why they are part of Nigeria. The economic and political domination of Nigeria.

That is why anyone who is serious about true federalism, resource control and fiscal resposibility has to be someone who is considering leaving Nigeria.

Thats why Yorubas should not be taken serious when they trumpet restructuring. How can you be looking for restructuring when you still want to do 'one Nigeria' with the same North who dont want restrscturing? Who is fooling who?

My great Igbo nation and the minorities who comfortable with us, we must exit Nigeria! It is only when we get out of Nigeria and the political stranglehold of the North can we truly control our destiny.

Either that or we can stay in Nigeria and still be shouting restructuring which we have all done for 50 years to no avail

Kanu remains resolute to bringing to an end the British colonial contraption called Nigeria and the restoration of Biafra.

Ise!

Because your people did it the wrong way

Really? I hope you know that when Lugard declared Nigeria, he did it with gun and koboko?

chizgold80:
General Olusegun Obasanjo speaks fluent Yoruba. Yes, he does. Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka is a wordsmith in English language but he also speaks and writes impeccable Yoruba. Otunba Subonmi Balogun, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola, are some of the wealthiest Nigerians of Yoruba extraction and they all speak Yoruba fluently. All of them can speak Yoruba for 5 minutes without injecting a single English word. Their children too, all speak Yoruba fluently.

It is rare to find any Igboman or woman who can speak Igbo fluently for 2 minutes without injecting English words. Even the most educated Yorubas schooled in Cambridge, or Oxford or Durham or Yale or Harvard or Princeton or in all these great institutions combined speak fluent Yoruba. They are assured, rooted, and unapologetic about who they are and of their place in the panoply of nations.

Fast forward now to the Igboid peoples and their relationship with Igbo language. A disaster unfolds. Rare is the Igbo who can converse in private or address a gathering of 2 or more in Igbo for 2 minutes without injecting one or more English words. More than 3/4 of the children of Igbo elite cannot stand before a crowd of 2 in their villages and address the crowd in Igbo language for 2 minutes.

The shamelessness, even pride, with which some Igbo parents in Aba, Enugu, Umuahia, Owerri, et cetera announce to their peers that their children raised in Igboland “anaghi anu Igbo” confirms to me that the Igbo are in a state of crises. In many Igbo homes, it is forbidden to speak Igbo!

The language of the Igbo, asusu Igbo, an onomatopoeiac and yet mellifluous language of the wise and sagacious, is in the death throes. No major ethnic group anywhere in the world faces the same lingual crises as the Igbo. The data and social phenomena are damning and ominous. The mother tongue is learnt at home, that is why it is called the mother tongue.

Consider these facts: in 50 years, Igbo language, will be almost extinct; never to be spoken or heard in large numbers anywhere in the world. UNESCO warns that unless urgent and realistic efforts are made today, within the next 2 generations, asusu Igbo ga abu ihe nwuru anwu.

Among the Igboid peoples aged 15 and below less than 12% can speak Igbo. Among those aged 25 and 16, less than 20% can converse in Igbo. The disaster cuts across economic and class barriers. Neither the children of the wretched poor in the cities nor the scions of the filthy rich have been spared.

A child learns his/her native language at home. In many Igbo homes, the language of communication is a mutilated version of English language. “Oya, junior, go and chop your breakfast” is neither English nor Igbo. Mass self deportation, a degraded and debased culture, palpable sense of inferiority, and a bizarre belief that the foreign is better have all conspired to ensure that Igbo language is on the path towards extinction. This is a self-inflicted tragedy.

Okay, let me come and be going.

But first, it must be understood that the survival of a people is inextricably tied to the health of its language. The human brain thinks in language patterns. The end product of a people’s civilization is carried in its language. When the language dies, the civilization atrophies and is only fit for the museum.

Second, language matters a lot. There is no separatist movement which can survive sans its language. Not one. With the imminent extinction of Igbo language, thousands of human experience, cultures, and understandings of the workings of the universe are imperiled.

Third, as the ultimate carrier, transmitter, and repository of a people’s culture, the death of a language is an unmitigated disaster. And to those who believe that they can be...

This injection of at least one English word in almost every sentence spoken in Igbo by some Igbos can be highly embarrassing, especially when it is by someone speaking to a crowd of Igbos. The major culprits are Igbos raised in urban areas. It is still better than those Igbos born or raised outside Igbo land in places like Lagos who cannot even say a word correct in Igbo.


Thankfully, I think this trend of putting English in Igbo might be reversing its self. There are many Igbos who now consciously try not to put any English while speaking Igbo

Aguyi Ironsi, nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and other igbo officers in the army then, cause the problem Nigeria is facing today.

1. Nzeogwu, ifeajuna & co igbo coup plotters killed political leaders from other region but told Nnamdi Azekiwe, Micheal Okpara & other politicians of Igbo origin to escape

2. Aguyi Ironsi took over but refused to bring the coup plotters to justice instead kept them in ikoyi prison, feeding them and started begging other regions to forget about the past.

3. Aguyi Ironsi cancelled the regional system and introduced the unitary system (the beginning of Nigeria problem ) .

4. The whole of Nigeria was developing very fast under regional system but Aguyi Ironsi desytoyed the system and refused to hand over power to a civilian ( probably chief judge) to conduct another election.

5. there was no remorse from the igbos instead they waxing records and celebrating the killings by their brothers in the army.

6. in conclusion , the Igbos should tender a general apology to the whole of Nigeria, for bring us to this mess we are in today

But when the Igbos declared their own country and went their way, you Nigerians came to the East to fight for 3 years to bring them back to Nigeria

lebete3000:
Igbo forced themselves on A saba which is the reason we have Delta Igbo from that part of Delta. Igbo massacred enough Deltas which is d reason Pure Deltas gave them up to the Federal Troops.

Na you sabi where Calabar take be d fct.

You dont even know the history of Asaba. If you did, you would know it was an Nteje man called Nebisi that founded

Alariwo2:
only a f00l talks this way..

you'll will leave my region whether you like it or not when everyone goes their separate ways. ewu!

You guys had better wake from sleep and face reality. This fraud started by Lugard in 1914 which he called Nigeria is nobody's country

Alariwo2:
Tell that to your people who don't tolerate others, not even their fellow igbos from other states

Practice what you preach first so you don't sound stupid next time

Its not our job to tolerate you, we are the ones who have been rejecting you people for Biafra since 1967

It is the job of people like you who want 'one Nigeria' to tolerate us. Unity begger

Alariwo2:
And mind you, the free movement igbos enjoy in SW and other regions is because of one Nigeria.

Sorry but that is not true. Nigeria is part of ECOWAS. All the other 14 members have freedom of movement anywhere in Nigeria without the need of 'one Nigeria'.

This is something I expected a Yoruba Governor like Aregbesola to do.

Empower his people to become Truckpushers

unclezuma:
The most bigotted and ineffectual Petroleum Minister to over grace Nigerian after Dan Etete.

Buhari has always been a man whose performance as an administerator has always been below average. His days as a Military Governor, Minister and Military dictator were all disasterous so Im not surprised that his civilian outing will turn out to be the worst.

Well, Biafra wishes to "unmerge" with this colosal disaster called Nigeria

It shall come to pass that Ndigbo will one day be free of the British colonial estate of Frederick Lugard known as Nigeria.

Ade3000yrs:
This guy Dont have d liver for a bullet but uses innocent Biafran agitators as Bullet proof vest! Nnamdi KANU knows a lot of Easterners are not as rational as the Yorubas to read between the thing line,n your midst

You mean the unarmed protesters murdered by the terrorist organisation called the Nigerian Army?

deji15:
Which Confab report? Have you read the same report? Which part of it should be implemented? Is it the part that ask for creation of more states to make it over 50 states in addition to the not so viable ones?
Who will implement the reports? Executive or the Legislooters? Do you understand that implementing the report will require a change in the Nigerian constitution? Are you aware of the process of changing the Nigeria constitution? Are you aware that to change the constitution you need 2/3rd majority of both houses and 2/3rd majority of state house of Assembly?
That is why you read about t he 1999 constitution or as amended, since that is what we inherited from the Military.
Changing the constitution is a herculean task based on our complex political system with all kinds of interest groups.
A lot of people do not realize what the change in constitution entails and therefore are not directing their questions to the right quarters.

Thats why I laugh at anyone who talks about restructuring especially politicians like Tinubu and Atiku. They know the truth but want to decieve people.

How will anyone get restructuring when just the North who are against it have over 60% of the votes at the National Assembly? Restructuring is no longer possible in Nigeria

Amberon:
Quit lying to yourself dear, the Nigerian constitution does recognize 6 geopolitical zones. I'm a Niger Delta and everyone I know from the SS refers to themselves as Niger Deltan.

Then show us where in the constitution the so called 6 geopolitical zones are recognised. There isnt any law in Nigeria that reconises geopolitical zones, Niger Delta, SS, SE or any sort of Region.

Amberon:
Excuse me, Nigeria recognizes six geopolitical zones. Every SSner regards themselves as a Niger Delta. Like I said, that's not for you to worry about.

The constitution of Nigeria does not recognise any six geopolotical zones. The so called SE/SS/SW are just words invented by Abacha's administeration for economic planning. They are just a collection of states.

As for this SSner regards themselves as Niger Delta, where did you get this from? I have relatives from Igbo Uzo in Delta state. They consider themselves Igbo and nothing else. If you ask the Asagba of Asaba, he will tell you he is Igbo before anything else.

The problem has never been IPOB. The problem has always been the Nigerian security forces. It is them that will bring violence into peaceful protest and it is them that will open fire on unarmed people

Amberon:
That's not for you to worry about. We love ourselves just that way. Worry about your region.

So but it doesnt work like that and there are no Regions recognised in the constitution of Nigeria. You cannot claim another tribe as your 'Niger Delta brother'. If you do that, then you are only doing the same thing you are accusing Igbos of doing.

Oh yes! Keep on keeping it on. No let up until Biafra is free of the British colonial contraption called Nigeria

Nna, even I that usually never to his threads was surprised at the amount of false information Nairaland allowed the efulefu to spew here.

tollyboy5:
international law that can't grant you Biafra would guarantee your investment LWKMD

You are mistaken. International law supports self determination. It was international law that Eritrea used to leave Ethiopia.

poshestmina:
There are many tribes in Nd ,what exactly are you on about ?

There are many tribes, over 40 of them. What nobody has ever managed to explain is what connects an Efik man and an Urohbo man? What connects an Ijaw man and an Ogoja man? So why they called Niger Delta?

Niger Delta is just a geopolitical zone, it is not a people.

poshestmina:
Don't mind the daft creature .they are tired of claiming jews and Egyptians .the average Nd man doesn't even believe in Biafra ,it's high time we stopped all those their useless campaigns and rallies in ph ,they should go to Aba and do all they want .Bunch of confused people!

So what exactly dies the ND man believe? One Nigeria and 85% of his Oil wealth being controlled by the North?

Thats even far worse than believing Biafra.
