Please be honest ....is Nigeria worth dying for?

How do you expect an Igbo man like me to die for a Yoruba or Hausa man? If it were them, would they die for me?

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Try to borrow some sense before you write.

You mean the type Awolowo had when he was saluting Gowon who was young enough to be his son? Anything to keep the Northern Gambari masters happy right?

Ballmer:
.

Were your forefather demented when Zik at independence demanded he'd rather continue in slavery due to greed of wanting to rule Nigeria tru pan Africanism instead of seeking a separate nation for the Igbos ? For each time you make the quoted claim n not reference the action of Zik that enslaved the other tribes of Nigeria may God chastise you, your household and the existence of your entire tribe.

Get real, Zik did not enslave anybody. Zik may have been a proponent of one Nigeria, he may even be regarded as a pan-Africanist, but he enslaved no one. Slavery is when a person accepts the status quo.

What happend after october 1st 1960? Did Igbos accept the status quo? No they did not, they rebeled and declared their freedom.

What did you people do in the face of Hausa/Fulani domination? You people joined hands with them because you did not have the courage to stand up to them like Ojukwu and Igbos did.

Zik did not enslave you guys, you did that to your selves.

jpphilips:
So you can't figure it out? despite writing it in clear blue font? poor you!!

No figure it out for me. America sells many war planes to countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and others, is that bad news for Biafran agitators too?

Well, as an Igbo man, we knew about the 'Yoke of slavery'. Thats why we declared our independence and fought for it for 3 years. The tribe FFK comes from became the "willing tools" of the Hausa/Fulani cabal to continue the slavery of 'one Nigeria'

Naijiant:
How must Biafran separatists feel after all the love they gave to Trump? They must feel like a woman scorned. They spent so many months during the campaign showing love to Trump, some were killed by Nigerian forces rallying for Trump. What did they get in return?

'One zoogeria' slave of the Northern Gambari masters. You just admitted that your Nigerian security forces committed murder and you are more interested in what the Biafran agitators gained from rallying for trump?

A clear case of someone whose house is on fire but he is busy fighting mosquitos in his room

greatiyk4u:
May God protect General Ezugwu the commander and guild him till he is elevated to the post of COAS in Jesus Name!



Nsukka deje nu

Lets hear word! If there is Biafra tomorow, which side do you think he will fight for? He might even be the one that will be prepared to level Nsukka just be COAS in 'one Nigeria'

What Okorocha does not seem to know is that APC is what it is because it fielded Buhari. It was the act of fielding Buhari as its flagbearer that delivered the Northern votes needed to defeat GEJ.

Is anybody fooling themselves that if a Southerner such Tinubu had been fielded, APC would have gotten the Northern votes?

So come 2023, APC will have to field a Southerner since it cant carry on forever fielding Northern candidates. When APC does this, it will lose Northern support.

Rochas is banking on the sentiment that APC will decide to field an Igbo candidate in 2023. But their is no guarantee of this, infact, I forsee a situation where either Tinubu or Osibanjo is fielded. That might leave Okorochas ambition dead in the water for another 16 years

That country disappeared after the British left in 1960 and was proclaimed dead in 1966/67


As Ojukwu said in 2001

"Nigeria was a country that began the journey to see if it could be a nation on October 1st 1960, unfortunately, it never happend to this day"

TippyTop:
Commendable.

How? How can it be commendable to give someone what belongs to them?

TonyeBarcanista:
Lalasticlala I know say Ijaw no de among the THREE major ethnic groups but as the undisputed 4th largest,

4th largest ethnic group? That is debatable. Are Ijaws more populous than Kanuri or Tivs?

I even read a wild claim here on Nairaland that there are 10 million Ijaws.


Who knows what to believe these days?

jpphilips:
The Trump administration is closing a $600 million deal to permit the sale of a dozen highly sophisticated turboprop fighter planes to Nigeria to combat the Boko Haram Islamic terrorists despite the Nigerian air force’s repeated bombing of civilian targets.

Within the next few weeks, the White House is expected to formally notify Congress of its controversial decision to sell as many as 12 Embraer A-29 Super Tucano aircraft equipped with special targeting and surveillance equipment.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-600m-fighter-plane-sale-190200259.html

With this development, I wonder on whose side the Trump's administration is; Nigeria or IPOB?

How is this bad news for IPOB? How? That America wants to sell war planes to Nigeria? What has that got to do with IPOB?

According to Igwilo, young people had died due to wrong approach adopted by Biafra agitators, he added that the people can be heard through their votes and not street agitations that might take their lives

What rubbish! Does he know that the constitution of Nigeria allows 4 fundamental freedoms.

Freedom of speech
Freedom of movement
Freedom of expression
And freedom of "conscience and belief"

All can be found in chapter 4 of the Nigerian constitution.

So when people express their constitutional right to peaceful protest, they get killed by the Army and Police who dont respect the constitution.

The a stupid party like UPP will turn around and blame those killed and forget those doing the killing.


UPP is trying to become relevant with the sweat and sacrifice of the Biafran agitators and it will never work because the Biafran agitators dont care about politics in Nigeria

QuietHammer:
Ojukwu ran away from war

But he fought before runnimg away, you guys ran away long before the fight even started

richidinho:
Anambra is PDP

PDP is Anambra

Then how come they lost the last 3 Governoship elections in Anambra?

PUSH1:
To change it for the best.

Is that before or after you loot CBN?

Ogu ga di n'Izuogu!

Useless thread. Have these people asked why the leaders cannot be held accountable?

It is because of Nigeria! Nigeria is the reason why political leaders cannot be held accountable and Biafra is the solution.

Okoroawusa is a dreamer. Most Igbos wont even vote for him anyway.

The problem with Okorocha is that he doesnt know that the presidency of Nigeria is no longer as important to Igbos as it used to be.

What is the point of presidency if Daura people are hungry?

Some people think that if we Igbos get the presidency, it will answer all our prayers.

What is the point of being the president of a messed up place?

My parents saw Biafra, I must see Biafra

DrGoodman:
Is Stephanie Otobo the daughter of lie Mohammed?

The girl can lie for Africa

To be fair to the girl, she is backing up her claim with evidence. She is not someone who is just talking for the sake of talking.

Nigeman:
Please let us all work for the unity of Nigeria.

If after 100 years as a country, we are still "working on unity", then forget it. You wont achieve that unity in another 100 years

That Polish woman spoke better Igbo than I have heard any Yoruba or Hausa speak, despite the fact that they went to war to be 'one Nigeria' with Igbos

madenigga:
I am Igbo but to me Biafra is an Abomination.

We igbos cant even unite not to talk of sharing one country together.

If you want to know how united igbos are put 2Anambra people in one room and one Imo person then come back after 1 week and ask how far.

Anambra people from my observation seem to be the problem of igbo land.

You have no point. Igbo unity is not important in Biafra. Nigerians are not united but Nigeria exists.

nwadiuko1:
do we igbos really love ourselves? I don't mean rallying round to defend some silly ish on nairaland.....no! I mean real brotherly love....anyi furu onwe anyi nanya?........

Do Nigerians love themselves? Do Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba love themselves? Of course not!

And yet..............there is Nigeria.

We dont have to love our selves, love is an expensive luxury. All we have to do is believe in Biafra.

Every Igbo politicisn who decamped to APC, besides Okorocha who was a foundation member, tends to be the ones who have become politically irrelevant.

Orji Uzo Kalu, Ken Nnamani, Sullivan Chime and now Martin Elechi are all spent and expired politicians who can no longer win their wards. APC is welcomed to have them

ehikwe22:
Fratermathy is only being vindictive because of the way I tackled the Urhobos earlier on this thread and one other thread. I've been seeing his comments about Anioma on this forum and he sounded completely different here.

Ikas are part of Anioma along side Enuani and Ukwani. Ika can only pull out of the Union if a reasonable number of Enuani people try to drag the whole Anioma into the Igbo fold. So far, majority of Enuani identify as Anioma and want a unify Anioma Ethnic Nationality of closely related groups. Even the Enuanis that identify with Igbo do that individually but still believe more on the Anioma Ethnicity. Example is Emeka Esogbue and the Convener of Anioma Voice. Emeka accept having Igbo ancestry but doesn't believe Anioma to be Igbos same way an Ugbodu man accepting having Yoruba ancestry will not make him call Aniomas a Yoruba group.

Bini didn't advance Eastward because we Aniomas being great warriors prevented them from doing that. We fought series of war with Binis. You must be really stupid to ask why Aniomas would fight Bini if truly we're from their. Even Binis fight themselves that ancient times. Everything gets achieved and settled by War. Most Ika Kingdoms were founded by Bini royalties and warriors that left because of power tussle going on in Bini at different times in history. Nothing like slavery in Ika. Even Olukumis are slaves? You have a big problem. Bini was a warrior Kingdom with lots of tyrant rulers. Even people that remained in Bini were treated badly not to talk about the ones that left the kingdom to found other Kingdoms closeby. Do you know Oba Ozolua? Where was he killed? Wasn't he killed in Esan land during the Bini/Esan wars? Or you also want to tell me Esans are not Edo because they fought the Bini? Non of your point is reasonable so far.

I've never heard of Agbor in those places but do you know the original name of Agbor? We're those places originally called Agbon? Do you know there is another Agbon in Urhobo land? What is the meaning of the Agbor in those places? Does it have any close meaning with my own Agbor? Can you tell me why there Owa in Delta, Owa in the East and Owa in Ogun State? Can you tell me why there is Asaba in Delta and Asaba in Osun State? Can you tell me why some people in Ondo bear Okoro as name? Don't ever ask any stupid questions here anymore if you're so dumb. Is this the so called Ugomba? I even thought it was somebody reasonable.

It is very important to note that 'Anioma' is not an ethnic nationality or ethnic group.

The story is interesting. Its seems that author started his travel at Isu-ama (which he called Esuama)

He refered to Olisah or Chukwu (Orissa or Tshuku) which is how Igbos say God

The man was tongue tied to say "Igwe-Kala" calling it 'Igvikala'


It is also interesting that the author travelked to Nteje at a time the were at war with the Ogidi people

oyinkinola:
What left for Igbo now is to hang on the locomotive train to catch up with Nigeria speedy train in motion for better for worst!
Britain say No to Biafra!
Israel say No to Jew status!
To earn Nigeria nation trust is another dilemma!
I've said it several time that igbo must reconciled with yoruba, Hausa, fulani to get their way through in Nigeria!
And it has come to reality now,
The ipob, massob had run igbo down definitly, So who will take igbo out of disgrace is another thing entirely!
I call on all Nigeria nation to pls give their full support to igbo now, igbo need your support than ever before!
help them out, pls!
Oyinkinola.

Another slave of Lord Lugard who is desperate for Igbos to be in 'one Nigeria' with him

Britain that the the Scots have already passed a referendum to be conducted in 2019?


Britain its self might be breaking up!

No going back on Biafra

NCANChairman:
Is Lord Luggard's heritage is more important than the problems of this country?

Of course it is, without his heritage, there would have been no country in the first place.

Afriifa:
Was Ojukwu a nobody when he agitated for Biafra? why must you young youth instead of allowing the big men(ikweremadu. rochas. obiano. orji, chime,) in your region to head the struggle . you chose to waste your bight future pursuing a cause that is meaningless and stupid(if meaning why aren't your leaders heading the struggle) that is ignoramus to my knowledge face the truth. just imagine the tears he has brought upon his innocent parents.

In other words, Nigeria is a place were it is ok for the Army to go into a school and shoot unarmed people who are praying? This why the Biafrans do not want to be part of the colonial mistake of 1914 called Nigeria.

Who would want to be part of a country where security forces can go and shoot unarmed people praying? Who would want to be part of a country that does not respect its own 4 constitutional laws of freedom of speech, expression, movement and belief?

Who wants to be part of a country where human life means so little?

Definitely not me. I hope Biafrans look at this obituary and be reminded why it is important that we keep agitating to leave Nigeria. Nigeria will never change, but Biafra will be the ultimate game changer. People like the young man in the poster have died because of their belief in freedom and self determination. Let us honour all those who died because of their belief in freedom and the best way to do this is to keep propagating that belief that Lord Lugard cannot decide our country for us, we decide our country for our selves.

Adieu Bro,
