SuperS1Panther:
You were civil until you bought you started your name calling. Is Osu no longer an Igbo name too?

The Biafra war was avoidable if the 1st coup plotters have not staged the coupr or if they had killed all the leaders of all the regions and not being selective in their killings and if Orizu had not handed power to Ironsi at the expense of Dipcharima.

Eastern whatever can go to Timbuktu or Kandahar, nobody gives a hoot. Just follow the proper civil channel. Please be reminded that Eastern Nigeria does not comprise modern day Edo and Delta, with Asaba inclusive.

Gowon could not have allowed you to secede because you stated the bloodletting and their was a reprisal attack and you were not allowed to run away after the effect of your stup1d action. Abraham Lincoln also prevented secession of Southern America. So no be today!!!

The soldiers lost died for their fatherland but they ensured they killed over 3m of women and children (minus the men) before they died, which gave Nigeria the victory.

Let me start by what you wrote last. You said that Lincoln prevented the secession of Southern America, yes he did and he was entitled to do that because America was created by agreement. America is legal because the original 13 colonies came together in 1776 and agreed to be one nation when they signed the American declaration of independence.

I have never seen or heard of any document, meeting, agreement or situation where Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba came together and formally agreed to be one nation. While America is a legal union, Nigeria is still the fraudulent colonial entity created in 1914.

Because Nigeria is a fraud, all the ethnic nationalities that the British criminal called Lugard assembled in 1914 and frog-marched at gunpoint in the evil union of Nigeria reserve the right to opt out of Nigeria, either individually or collectively.

Blaming the first coup is myopic. Symptoms that Nigeria would not work started as far back as 1945 with the kano massacre and the 1953 Jos Massacres. Nigeria has proved to the entire world that it cannot be a nation by killing over 3 million of its brethren to stay one, yet, they are not one. The same the 'armed' methods employed by Lugard to create Nigeria is still what is used to to hold it together.

As an Igbo man who belongs to a tribe of over 40 million people, I feel quite embarrased that Gambia of less than 2 million, not even up to the population of Enugu, can be a country but I dont have my own country.

How is that possible? How can a foreign land called Abuja be my capital? What histocal ties do I have with Hausa and Yorubas?

It remains the sacred right of us Igbos and the minorities who are comfortable with us to exit the colonial contraption called Nigeria whenever we want.

Lord Lugard has gone back home, we should all do the same

Ikeg:
Who gives two f2ks what you think Anioma failed hand of. Onye ara. As if SE have never given title images to known political thieves. Swear that none of your SE politicians does not have a chieftain title. Swear on that before I take you seriously.
Ewu

Dont talk like a morron. Give me an example of where a convicted thief was given a title in Igbo land besides this Ibori show of shame

I want to first address IPOB shootings. By that act by the Nigerian security forces, the Government of Muhammadu Buhari has been heavily damaged on international level by the killings. Many in the international community actually thought the man was a reformed democrat who would encourage the rule of law and improve the abysmal human rights record of Nigeria, he made it much worse. Buhari should have fired the COAS Burutai when he heard that hundreds of Shia Muslims had been massacred to send a strong message to the security forces of Nigeria that impunity and heavy handed methods were no longer acceptable. He didnt. He also exposed himself as a callous person when he refused to view the video recording of the Nigerian Army shooting unarmed IPOB in Aba. Amnesty internstional put the nail on the coffin of Buharis administeration with the report on 150 IPOB gunned down by his administerstion for exercising their constitutional right to protest. The damage done to Buhari is that nobody takes him too serious in the internstional community any more because the measure of a progressing country is its human rights record.

So the killings of Biafrans has won support for Biafra, converted many 'fence sitters' to the cause of Biafra. Even many Igbo Governors are now calling for Kanus release. The IPOB that were killed did not die for nothing, their deaths exposed Nigeria to the world as a country in bondage. We shall honour their memory when we are free.

When it comes to IPOB forming a political party, we should remember that IPOB is organisation that is about leaving Nigeria, not joining it. The way Nigeria is currently structured, it would be a waste of time for anyone to try to form a political party to secede from Nigeria. That political party, even if they win all the political positions in the area they want to secede, will still go to the Nigerian National Assembly where Hausas and Yorubas will be wating to deal with them.

It takes 67% of the votes to get a constitutional change at the National Assembly, so how will any IPOB party get this vote with just the North controling over 60% the votes? Not possible same way restructuring is not possible in Nigeria.

She should thank God. Most victims of burns on this level in Nigeria end up dying

The presidency of Nigeria is not as important as the freedom of Igbos

NgeneUkwenu:
As president of Biafra?

Of course not. President of the zoological republic of Lugard.

Atiku of course, any body else is wasting their time

If I ask this same Tanko Yakssai to give me one example of something an Igbo man like me has common with an Hausa man like him, he will not be able to tell me even one.

Do we eat the same food? Do we have the sane value system? Do we dress alike? Do we have the same culture or norms?

All the hypocrite knows is that Lord Lugard brought us all together therefore we must all be "one Nigeria"

It is this backward resoning that has kept the North backward despite all the power they have held while the south moved away

princemi:
I am not a tribal or religious bigot neither am i against freedom of speech but this one dikwa very 'mumuish'

So i was on Voice of America's facebook page reading comments about the MAOB (mother of all bombs) US dropped in Afghanistan yesterday and the rival 'Father Of All Bombs' the Russians allegedly developed with more impact. Reasonable rational humans were busy criticizing the fact that the super powers have turned 'smaller' countries to their lab where they test their weapons of mass destruction and here comes this Igbo boy with this lame wishful thinking;

Is there something wrong with you? So you created a thread based on someones wishful thinking? Get a life

It is really annoying when a Hausa/Fulani man or a Yoruba man tells an Igbo man like me that we are 'one'


Being 'one' is two way thing! Each of the parties involved must agree to be one before oneness can exist!

krendo:
Soludo has endorsed Governor Obiano for Anambra second term. But if he is waiting in the wings to replace Obiano as Anambra Governor when Obiano must have completed his second term then I am sorry Soludo can do better and aim higher.

Why can't Soludo run for Senate in 2019 and use that platform to coalesce Ndigbo around a devolution agenda through APGA ?

APGA should focus purely on devolution, self reliance and how much progress we can make from effective self Governance

If APGA sell this agenda as their manifesto I can see them taking over the south east

Harness the emotions surrounding IPoB and tell IPOB members to make progress first through devolution while still in Nigeria rather than wait when Nigeria breaks of which nobody knows at this moment how long that will take or if it will ever happen

Sorry but all that is dead in the water. Devolution of powers is the same thing as true federalism/resource control/fiscal federation.

The North is against all of these things and they control over 60% of the votes at the national assembly.

To pass a law on these, you need at least 67% percent of votes.

So all that is dead in the water

Myself2:
Unfortunately for you, Anioma people have made it clear that they are not part of your Igbo nation or Biafra

Unfortunately for you, there is no ethnic group in Nigeria called Anioma. Anioma is an area, not a people.

Chei! How can my fellow Igbos confere a title on this common thief?

Anioma has failed the hand of the Igbo nation!

Ezi-Oyi indeed! It should be more of Ezi-oshi!

edudguy:
I know this thread was opened to appeal to the senses of Biafra supporters (which I know it has) but let's look at this... war has no winner, both sides will be losers... I know Ojukwu saw the war as the only option (at that time) because of the progroms.. The military government was indifferent to what was going on..... but that war claimed lives... property worth millions were lost.... I am sure if Ojukwu had a rethink he would have considered other options other than war.... that's why I kind of feel sorry when people say : Biafra or War? Do they really know what war is? Do they think war is heroism? They haven't experienced war before.... just the pictures above makes me sick..... Nigeria has a big problem; a very big problem but violence is not the answer; it will never be..... We must sort out our problems..... Now, I know people will come for my head but I don't care It's the truth anyway...Now you'll see the two tribes insulting each other.. just wait they are coming... I am an Igbo man by the way

Dont talk like a fool. Did Ojukwu start any war? It was Nigeria and Gowon that started the war. It was far incumbent on Gowon as head of state to prevent war than Ojukwu.

Gowon should not have declared war without first giving dialogue a chance. How you go to kill those you claim are your brothers without giving peace a chance first?

Gowon broke the Aburi agreement
Gowon ordered 'Police action'
Gowon declared war

Gowon caused the civil war all for access to Oil money

jpphilips:
Who says Buhari isn't a great disciplinarian? from rioting every May 30th, blocking highways and disturbing neutral igbos, now the Nigerian police force has taught them to sit at home on May 30th, we are making progress.D
Little by little, the reality of the Biafran struggle will dawn on all of you and when that reality becomes obvious, you will look at yourself in the mirror and speak these words " why has thou been so stup!d all these years". A mad man seized the airwaves and you believed he can get you a country? all you IPOB members must as a matter of celestial purification, return your brains to God.
On the global stage where countries are born, Nnamdi Kanu will best qualify for a door man let alone allowed in that venue, do you guys even watch Tv at all. Educate us, what does it take to secure sovereignty by global standards? feel free to eductae us

Lol funny man. People like you dont even know that Kanu and IPOB have won already?

When Biafra comes, all good. Until that time, all we have to do is sit back and take a front row seat as the unworkabke colonial fraud keeps on dishing out terrorism with boko harram, economic stagnation, recession, corruption and suffering with the clueless Buhari and others like him.

We already kmow Nigeria has no long term future. Its almost like an old sick man die, nothing can be done about it. Those of us who have no allegiance to the colonial fraud called Nigeria (and thats the majority of all Nigerians) will just watch the inevitable demise.

I dont understand why a lot of people are making noise on this thread.

Its not like its a secret that the North will ever agree that Nigeria be restructured. They often said they are prepared to go to war than accept any form of restructuring. They said so in the 2014 conference.

So what is new?


Anybody who believes in "one Nigeria" should forget restructuring. Restructuring is simply not for you. The Northerners hold all the cards and all the aces. Their voting bloc of over 60% puts the National Assembly in their hip pocket and as we all know, restructuring can only be done at the National Assembly.


Anyone who wants restructuring, true federalism, resource control and fiscal independence had better start thinking about opting out of Nigeria.

There are no two ways about it. Asari Dokubo said "only free people control their resources"

This was the same choice the south faced in 1967 when the Northerners led by Gowon arbitrally broke the Aburi agreement, dissolved the 4 Regions and took away resource control.

The south of Nigeria then had 3 Regions, the West, Midwest and Eastern Regions.

Of these 3 Regions, the West and Midwest surrendered to the dictates of the North. Only Ojukwu and the Eastern Region refused to fall without a fight and fight they did.

What happend in 1967 is happening 50 years later in 2017. The North have said no to restructuring.

The question now is, do the SW/SE/SS accept it? Or will they fight for their independence like the Eastern Region once did?

That is the question.

Yyeske:
Why not keep quiet if you have nothing to say, last sit at home, people were forced to remain indoors because roads were barricaded, parents prevented their wards not to go to school for fear of violence from you lots, go to Awada in Onitsha to hear what eedioots like you did to shops and cars that were not even open.
.I can even bet you don't stay anywhere close to the SE

Dont you see how stupid you sound? How can IPOB force people to stay at home? Has IPOB got the keys to peoples houses to lock them in? How can all the roads be barricaded?

No parents be scared of violence to their kids when there has been no acts of violence reported against IPOB. How many people have come to publicly accuse IPOB of violence? Anyone who is afraid for their kids has unfounded fear.

I dont know what hapoend in Awada but if thieves operated there, dont blame IPOB, they are not the police.

All I know is that Im going to be indoors observing Biafra day and I believe that the majority of my peoole will do the same

jpphilips:
Do this for us, conduct IPOB protests with free flowing traffic, I swear I won't even know they exist.

I dont know what you are talking about. All I know is that on the 30th of May, I will stay indoors as a mark of respect to the only country I recognise as my own, The Republic Of Biafra.

omenkaLives:
Lmao.

I wonder if they are gonna force people to sit at home.

Deluded wild horses indeed.

Imagine a group of criminals that profess they are guided by the tenets of human rights and democracy, yet all they do bear the hallmarks of a dictatorial enterprise.

I hope the bastard of Kuje would secure jobs for those gullible enough to sit in the gutter when they get saked for truancy.

When has IPOB ever forced anyone to do anything? Everything has always been by the voluntary support of lovers of freedom

IPOB is not Lord Lugard who forced everyone to become "Nigerians"

NaWetinDey:
I see some Lilly liveried idiots-who claim to be Igbo and are afraid of taking their own lives-preparing to come out that day to be killed by law enforcement officers. In their wrapped minds they think they are going to heaven not knowing that nothing is hidden before God - not even intents.
It's becoming clear that even boko haram terrorists are wiser because, at least they believe they will go to heaven and bleep all the virgins available with Allan's blessings. But these ones, what are they planning to die for - I hope it's not to go to heaven's gate and complain before God and then begin to accuse him of joining Nigeria and Britain and America and France and the whole world to kill Biafrans? This is not funny at all.

They lack the ability to learn. Over three million of our people killed about 50 years ago by Nigeria and her allies have not been honored by Nigeria nor avenged by Biafrans. The world doesn't even care. And these fools always jump up to go and die believing that there is help for fools anywhere.
If we are the children of God we must be children of love and we must show it. The level of hatred and betrayal amongst pro Biafra activists is unsumountable because they start from the top. God has long left the scene because he does not dwell together with the spirit of hate and lies which drives kanu and his zombie frustrated followers.

Only a morronic slave will still be honouring something that killed over 3 million of his people.

ElsonMorali:
What did the last sit-at-home order accomplish? Chaos, death and hunger for the people.

Thats the same things Nigeria has managed to accomplish since 1960 to date

BlakKluKluxKlan:
We see you as a bunch of irrational non-entities who lack the strategy to handle things properly.
And history is a better teacher as to who is and who is not a coward.
Your brave warriors were pounded into submission by the Black Scorpion, a yoruba, while your entire generations begged to surrender to Obasanjo, another yoruba.
Give another repeat scenario, we will teach scums how not to brag.
Unfortunately for you, you cannot change or deny historical facts.

So in other words, Ojukwu and Igbos were fighting for their freedom while Yoruba elements like Adekunle and Obasunjo were fighting for the enslavement of everyone under the Gambari Northern Lords of 'one Nigeria'? People who have to fight for others because they lack the courage to fight for themselves. laugh in Igbo


Thanks once again for confirming what I said that a Gambari slave is always a Gambari slave.

Shaytun:
Thank god most nigeria don't share this thought, We should focus more on Developing ourself, How many nairalanders are educated?.

Look at Dangote he is building a refinery(One of the largest in the world) with a total investment capital of $12bn in Lagos because of the opportunity, Not allowing himself be clouded by Tribal/religious view and taking it to his northern state in kano. He is Developing himself, Thinking of making himself more richer and in the process Developing the economy and lifting his country image.

Look at innosson chukwuma he is not allowing himself to be clouded by Tribalism, instead he is focusing on how he will create a good future for himself and his family, He did not wait for a government support to start his business not he uses his brain and time for productive things.

Guy, wake from your slumber and face reality. Lord Lugard cannot come from Europe to give you your country. If you want a country, ask your neigbours via referendum if they want to join you in 'one Nigeria'. Anything outside this is "country by hostage".

Dont be fooled by Dangote and Innocent Chukwuma. These our businessmen, they will invest in Syria and Afghanistan if there is money to be made there

My point here is that there was a time we all were not together and Nigeria is only but a colonial creation. If want that colonial called Nigeria to be your country, it must be by consensus, not by force. Support a referendum to deternin who the real Nigerians are.

Sorry but you have no nation

It is what it is. The Nigerian Army is not a praiseworthy fighting institution, regardless of what they are doing in Sambisa.


For a Soldier to open fire on unarmed people is capital murder.

Every time Nigerians (or Africans) burn, beat up, strip or kill criminal suspects, Im reminded why the civilised world still thinks Africa is a land of savages.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
What did you achieve with your non-surrender ?
Millions of souls lost only for you to surrender beaten and cowed to a Yoruba man.
Your ancestors failed to teach you that brain is always better than brawn in certain matters.
Besides, yorubas were virtually non-existent in the nigerian army of that era. The army was dominated by the north and east. It was the sheer number that bouyed Ojukwu up to declare seccession forgetting that in conflicts, number does not always determine the outcome.
Only fools run into a war blindly and unprepared.
And whether you like to admit it or not, the civil war continued by schism since then hence the elites made an Ibo presidency a tabboo except in your wildest dreams.
Deal with that.

Excuse after excuse of why you people can never rise up and confront the Gambari slave masters. To make it far worse, the cowardice is showcased for the world to see when you people insult those who rose and fought. You people could not rise and fight for your dignity and sovereignty, yet, you disparage those who could? I laugh in Igbo.

A Gambari slave will always be a Gambari slave.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
The type your grandfather, Azikiwe used to serve his northern lords from 1950s to 1980s climaxed by giving millions of his people to them as sacrificial lambs and which has since rendered them irrelevant 4th class citizens in their own country.

You keep calling Zik because you cant point to one single thing you people have done to stand up to the Northerners

At least Igbos can boast of declaring their own state, taking up arms and fighting for 3 years.

What can you people boast of doing? After the Gambari Lords went to your biggest town, Ibadan, abducted and slaughtered the Governor of the Western Region, Lt Colonel Fajuyi. You guys surrendered without protest.

Fajuyi, abducted and slaughtered! "Hail one Nigeria and the Gambari Lords"

MKO, abducted and slaughtered, "Hail one Nigeria and the Gambari Lords"

If tomorow, Osibanjo is abducted and slaughtered, it will still be the same tune.

The life and times of a Gambari slave

deomello:
1. Your slavery started when your forefather ZIK sold out the south to become a powerless slave for the Hausa/Fulani north when he did not have to.

2. Your forefathers and leaders were and still part of the willing tools of the Hausa/Fulani cabal because they've been part of the system since day one and still are from Ekwueme as VP slave to shagari and Ojukwu as errand boy for IBB and the same North he fought in a war that killed millions of your people.



The sad part is the fact that you people don't even know your own history and the part you and your forefathers played in the formation and the destruction of Nigeria from ZIK selling out to the North and formulating Nigeria as a country against advise and also your brothers starting the coup and blood shedding culture when they slaughtered military and political leaders from the SW and the North.


All you people do is play victim while ignoring the destructive part you played from the beginning and still playing till today.

You reap what you sow my friend.


And per FFK, he's still on crack cocaine I guess.

All this is mere Lagos/Ibadan motor park propaganda. How can one man, Zik, enslave anybody? What have you people done to stand up to the Hausa-Fulani oligarchy? Have you guys taken up arms against them? Have you protested against them? Have you people confronted them in anyway? Only know how to stand in a corner, shout one Nigeria and beg for true federalism.

Shaytun:
This kind of reasoning is what is still keeping us from developing.

Us? Who is us? There is no 'us', Nigeria is a nation on paper only
