There is a current move of change going across the world, this change hit Nigeria during the Presidential Election, hit UK during the Brexit Referendum, hit Ghana during the Presidential Election, hit USA during the Presidential Election, and has also hit France with the outcome of their just concluded Presidential Election (To mention but a few). This change can, and will also hit Anambra State, with Chief Osita Chidoka, as the next Governor of Anambra State.

He has the name, but so do others. My advice to Chidoka is this may not be his time. I also heard he joind UPP? It will be tough for him.

honjohnbright:
This your division scheme is dead on arrival.

We the South South people are a united whole bunch, there are no majority nor minority.

We Are South South that's all!!!

You are South South? So where is North North?

poshestmina:
Igbos ARE NOT Niger Delta .thank you!

But Niger Delta is not a tribe while Igbo is

Ehisod:
Same way many felt about Ojukwu until he fled with his cars and left millions of defenceless "biafrans" to their fate at the hands of the advancing Nigerian army. Wake up and smell the coffee guys Kanu and co don't give a flying f*ck about your well being just an opportunist preying on your collective ignorance and a wrong belief that Eldorado awaits the ibos on separation from Nigeria. If you believe in him so much register a party and let him contest for governorship seat in his state and let us see how well he fares in 8 years, that is if he will win in the first place.

The Yoruba media have peddled this trash for so many years that I think they have finally believed their own lies.

Ojukwu fought for 3 years and when it was obvious that the war was about to end, he left. He did not leave in the middle of the war, thats a falsehood. Also, it would have been stupid for Ojukwu to stay back and die when that would have added no value to the war that was almost at an end or to the Biafran movement.

BTW, Kanu is not a politician. He is a freedom fighter

VanNistelrooy24:
They'll definitely call him an Afonja breed.




The don't like to hear the truth about their hopeless struggles.

Why would anyone call him Afonja? Did he say he is against Biafra? All he said was that Igbos should be careful of Biafra and their investments outside Igbo land which is true.

As far as Im concerned, Igbos have to get out of Nigeria along with the minorities who are comfortable with us. International law has already guaranteed the safety of our investments.

I hope the story of a coup is true, it will help Biafra become a reality much faster.

I wonder why some people put in a lot of time and effort to pure gabbage? Who wrote this trash?

He said that Nnamdi Kanu should have rejected his bail condition. Kanu was granted bail on health grounds. Of what use would it have been to IPOB or the Biafran movement for Kanu to stay in prison and die? This is the same stupid logic some people use to say that Ojukwu should have stayed back to die when that would not have added any value to a war he had all but lost. It would served no purpose for Kanu to stay and die when he had an offer of bail.

He said that Nnamdi Kanu was confused to be a Judaist. Judaism is a religion just like Catholicism, Islam or Bhudism. Anyone can practice any of them and they have nothing to do with identity.

He said that Kanu has abandoned the cause and is pallying with politicians. I remember that people like this said they would never take IPOB serious until politicians such as senators started identifying with IPOB. Now that Senators and politicians are openly identifying with Kanu and visiting Kanu, they have changed the goal post. Haba!

The write up was complete rubbish

eyeview:
Not a fan of Nnamdi Kanu but am baffled when new generation indomie kids and some yoruba miscreants will be shouting that Asaba, delta and most parts of Niger delta where never part of biafra. This ex biafran air commandant is from asaba. Calabar that was the fct wasn't in igboland.

Are you listening to those people who have never crossed the River Niger but will be the first to say that Igbos are only indigenous to 5 states.

Asaba is 100% an Igbo city. Joe Achuzie was a respected and ruthless Biafran soldier, Asaba indigene and Igbo man who fought for his kith and kin in Biafra. He wrote a book about his war time battles called 'Requiem Biafra'

He was one of the most feared officers of the war and a former secretary general of Ohaneze ndi Igbo

Yorubas are what we call in Igbo "Mma Iru Abua". Im not going to tranlate what that is in English however, Yorubas cannot be trusted........definitely not by Igbos anyway.

Well FFK is not saying anything that isnt an open secret. The unity of Nigeria, as far as Northerners are concerned, is purely based on economic reasons.

soberdrunk:
Is there any part of the 'Nigerian constitution' that says when you are caught stealing you must be stripped 'unclad'??

No, its just because a lot of Nigerians are barbarians that you still see things like this. No civilised country still does this

Grand patron of the Biafran war vetrans? Chei! only this alone will tell any right thinking person that the News is fake

Uche Ekwunife is a confused woman. How can she say

“Where a hard- earned victory was nullified on the flimsy excuse that I was not legitimately nominated by my party;

How can she call not being legitimately nominated a flimsy excuse? Is she aware that Governor Ikpeazu of Abia nearly lost his Governoship position to Uche Ogah over this same issue of who is the legitimate candidate. The law says that a person must be legitimately sponsored by a political party in other to stand for elections. It was proven that her candidacy was not legitimate which means she never actually stood for elections

od501:
you miss the point, there is nothing to prove. and until we can differentiate between our wants and needs the we realise we don't need a sovereign state . we should focus more on more productive south east and better treatment.

For two or more people to be together, what unites them must be greater than what divides them. Theres no point being together for the sake of being together. Now, what unites Hausa/Igbo/Yoruba? What do they have in common? Do these tribes love each other?

Just because some white man called Lugard came from Europe to bring all of us together and call us 'Nigerians' does not mean we are brothers or that our unity will work.

It is not possible to bring Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa together because they too different traditionally, religiously and culturally.

One Nigeria only has meaning if we had managed to love each other, we do not. All we have is unity based on oil. Its time to go our seperate ways and do our different things. A sovereign state is the most important thing we need

Should something cause Buhari to be unable to discharge the duties of president of Nigeria, the only beneficiary in 2019 could be Atiku

Enuguboy4nsk:
As a south easterner I have come to notice that our people are more strict with the Nigerian artificial partitioning of the country into States as to compare with other zones of the country;surprisingly south-south nowadays even tend to group themselves together as 'Niger Delta'

of course already Yoruba's and Hausas don't know what is state boundary at least from my stay in the north and south west.

my main question is what do Easterners hope to achieve by strictly partitioning themselves in the Nigerian created state?

NB :Don't comment out of ignorance if you haven't lived or familiar with South East

Hmmmm

Nice one. Total shut down! We must send a strong message to the Zoological Republic of Lord Lugard that we are serious about our freedom.

od501:
my brother, Wen god wants to punish man, he simply answers his prayers. and for the 3 million souls, you forgot to add "killed in a war " . In wars people die Dtz why Evry body is against it. moreover the igbos would have used the same method if they had the chance.

So you see. If we were one, we would not need to kill each other in the millions to prove it.

conductor111:
And finally, this clown that sold his entire tribe into slavery

The way he bowed infront of Buhari, displaying his entire cone shaped head.

On the 30th of May, my two legs will not leave my compound that day.

Otito Dili Chukwu!

od501:
d last I checked it too D US over 200 yrs to get it right, the British being dere former colony never believed it them selves. And talking about a referendum, what makes you think we the igbos will get a 100% vote for an independent state? even amongst us. our problem is that we have failed to listen to a second opinion, and any attempt to speak the other side of the truth is labelled sabotage.
ojukwu was right on initiating the biafran idealogy but he knew quite well that it is never the right solution to the problems of the igbos hence the aburi convention. Zik himself know better ,more reason he never associated him self with the idea. And If i should quote from the words Soludo last week in enugu "Nigeria is at the blink of a break up and only a great idea can save it ". If this country is not worth saving, some prominent igbos would have joined the struggle long ego...

Referendum is not about 100%, it is about majority vote. Nigeria is not worth saving, this same 'one Nigeria' already cost is Igbos over 3 million souls.

dealslip:
Aguiyi Ironsi did. It amazes how people don't know their history and assume alot of things just because they can't have what they want

Dont talk nonsense you dont know. Ironsi met 4 Regions, he left 4 Regoins. What you have to find out is how the 4 Regions Ironsi left now became 36 states we have today.

Sanusi will be alive to see Biafra!

Ise!

fiizznation:
The best thing the court did with that fraudulent(kanu) was giving him those obnoxious bail condition before releasing him to his few supporters. Now the fraudulent man is strapped in his own struggle.

His new battle will be between him and his fake love for some utopia nation they called biafra. Henceforth, the FG should learn to ignore him as long as he doesn't incite his gullible followers or 'take up arms'( that's if he even have one single AK47) against the state. Eventually he will fade away in his own fake struggle.


One thing that is very common with wars and secession is financial power. If you don't have that very important resources, then believe you me, whatever you will do will be a waste of time and effort. And I don't think the fraudulent kanu have up to $50,000,000(lol) in his bank account to run his fake biafra agitation.

You forget one thing. The bail conditiions are not permanent. They will only last as long as the court case its self which I believe will be over in the next 3 months if there isnt long adjournments.

In the end, one of two things will happen. Its either Kanu is convicted, which will mean he returns to jail and resumes his role as a symbol of libration which will be now bigger with the international exposure he has recieved.

Or Kanu is set free for him to come out and take the struggle the next level.

Either way, the unity of Nigeria will be seriously shaken to its core. Kanu has already won, all he needs is just to wait and see scenario plays out.

Personally, I just want an end to the British colonial contraption called Nigeria and the freedom of my fellow Igbos.

od501:
"small but effective is better " quite alright but big and efficient is 10x better, which is what we must Chanel our energy and strive for not some sort of sovereignty. its too expensive.

If it hasnt worked in 103 years as a country and almost 57 years of independence, it will never work. It is time to call a spade a spade and hold a referendum to allow those who no longer believe in one Nigeria the opportunity to go

od501:
honestly speaking i think this biafra thing is a wonderful idea in a wrong direction. this is like a wasted energy, we should concentrate more on fighting injustice against the igbos and not sovereignty. we are too naive for an independent state and we are better off economically with 170 million population than less than 80 million. please my people we should Chanel this energy to something more realistic. "NIGERIA IS BIGGER THAN WHAT WE SEE OR READ " even the so-called cabals.

DALUNU OOO

Switzerland is is just 8 million people but they are richer than Nigeria. Small but effective is much better than big but hopeless. Nobody cares about your population, they only care about what you have offer.

Afonjastic Airways, Flight 1 Nigeria cleared for take off!

It is obvious that Nnamdi Kanu is praying for these young men and they bowed to recieve blessing which is normal.

But the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media has made it look like Kanu is being worshipped!

PFRB:
Who did they restrict? ? ? ? Is this man a lawyer at all? ? ? Did he actually go to school? ? ? ?

Forget the buffoon of a Lawyer. He as turned 'asked to sit at home' to mean 'forced to sit at home'.

suso:
I have come to know that most of the people crying about BIAFRA Republic are not Educated

So if they were educated, they would know that 'one Nigeria' is the best thing to happen since the invention of sliced bread?

Udmaster:
when Adaka boro declared NDR, it was just for ijaws then.
He never begged Igbos to join.
Now, No South South is asking for an IPOB refrendum.
Stop lying to urselves.
South South minorities want Niger Delta Republic. #simple

Thats why I said that IPOB offers them a much better deal than Nigeria. Any minority looking for Niger Delta Republic will not get it while they are in Nigeria, they simply dont have the numbers or unity. Only any one of the 3 majority tribes can ask for referendum and have the numbers to demand it.

So in essence, if anyone is dreaming of Niger Delta Republic, they had better join IPOB and Igbos in a demand for a referendum to get out of Nigeria. Only when out of Nigeria can Nigeria Delta Republic be possible. The minorities going against the entire North and Yorubas is not something they can win while they are in Nigeria

Udmaster:
1. Did the SS Minorities beg or ask you for refrendum?
2. Why are you guys desperate for them to join you?

They are asking for referendum even more than Igbos. They declared a separate state even before Igbos did, they have taken up arms against Nigeria even more than Igbos have. You think they did all that because of their love of "one Nigeria"?
