legendarystar:The minute I read that first sentence, I knew that everything you would write after that would be nonsense, and rightly so. Guy, wake from your delusion. There is no such thing as a 'tribeless Nigerian' and anyone you see making that claim is either ignorant or a fool. We were all tribes long before Lord Lugard came to West Africa to make us 'Nigerians'. By calling your self a 'tribeless Nigeria', you have reduced your self to a mere 'British product'. You cannot accept the identity the White Man gave you over the identity handed down to You by God and your ancestors. There's nothing wrong with seeing other people as your brothers. There is nothing wrong with showing other people love, but it is a two way thing. I'm an Igbo man, will the Yoruba man ever see me as one them? Will the Hausa man ever see as his brother? Will I ever see the two as comerades? The answer is no because we are too different to ever see each other that way. Culturally, religiously and ideologically, we too different. There may be other countries were tribes managed to overcome tribal divides, but Nigeria is a different case. Each of the three main tribes in Nigeria are larger than most countries in Africa in terms of population. The unity of Nigeria has come at a huge cost, it has claimed millions lives from the time Lugard came to shoot our ancestors to the time we started shooting our selves in a bid to become one. Despite all that, Nigeria has not been able to move foward and never will. What divides us is much stronger than what unites us. Let the truth be told |
omenka:Nnamdi Kanu is actually trying to get his people away from the likes of you and your people. In the meantime, you are trying hard to be with Nnamdi Kanu and his people. Who is the fool in this situation? You or him? |
Adaure4ever:What Okorocha did and what Peter Obi did are not the same thing. Okorocha took APGA's mandate to APC, Peter Obi served out his mandate before joining PDP. If Okorohausa was a man of conviction, he should have resigned as Governor if he feels that he is no longer compatible with APGA and let the next highest APGA member take over. What Okorohausa did by taking APGA's mandate to APC exposes him as a selfish politician who jumps ship for political gain when it suits him. Such a man cannot be trusted with high political office. |
The day that Okorohausa steps his foot into Anambra is the day we will teach that turn coat traitor the lesson of his life. It is bad enough that the man took APGA's mandate into APC, but for that condescending leech to say that 'Ndi Anambra' are the problem of Igbos is unforgivable. Has anyone seen Okorohausa visiting other Igbo States apart from Imo? He knows how hated he is in Igbo land. The man squandered the immence goodwill he used to enjoy for nothing. |
Yorubas have sworn to die on top of Igbo matter. There must be something about Igbos that fascinates Yorubas so much. Here we have two Fulani men who are armed with swords on what could be a private road on what could be private land |
Ngozi123:That is the question you will see no Biafran antagonist answer |
Compliant:Better to be a rebel than an eternal slave of the North |
Lekewatt:Ojukwu was a freedom fighter, that's why his people love him. The average person outside the SE/SS zone doesn't know what freedom is, all the know is how to shout 'one Nigeria' because Lord Lugard made them so. The life of a mindless slave and a product of British colonialism. But Ojukwu was a different breed. He led his people to fight for freedom rather be a "zombie of one Nigeria". Maybe Ojukwu did not succeed but at least he tried. All others were like " I remain a dedicated Northern a$$licker because I'm too much of a coward to fight for my freedom like Ojukwu" |
Buhari has not handled anything well in Nigeria to even talk about the Biafran agitation. |
kropotkin2:Why must there be bloody confrontation? Have we forgotten that just 102 years ago, there was no Nigeria and we were not together? Why must we now kill our selves to be together? There is no Igbo man, dead or alive, who is going to take up arms if either the Yoruba or Hausa or any other ethnic group decides they want to secede from Nigeria. I remember that just before the civil war broke out, Ojukwu told Gowon that instead of going to war and killing people, he should conduct a referendum in the Eastern Region and let the people decide their fate. Gowon said no, 'we must all be one Nigeria' and an avoidable war was conducted that claimed over 3 million lives. The funny thing is that referendum is not a new thing in Nigeria, a referendum has been conducted before in Nigeria. The same Britain that created Nigeria has had two referendums in 2 years. They left Europe in the last one. So when people talk about killing each other so that they can stay together, I can only but shake my head and marvel at the backwardness of the African man. |
HungerBAD:Wasted life? Your Government wasted his life. Just because he said he is not interested in "one Nigeria". Your Government is shooting unarmed people but letting armed Fulani gangs roam all over Nigeria killing people because of worthless Cattle. That is 'one Nigeria' for you. A country built on nothing but for the benefit of Lord Lugards Bank account. Ojukwu led Biafrans in a fight to be liberated from the oppressive Nigerian state. He may not have won, but for trying to liberate his people, he will be eternally loved. Gowon that fought 'one Nigeria' doesn't have the respect of anybody, not even with his Angas people. You go and tell Buhari that this is the age of self determination. Nobody can force another person into an unholy union. Nobody can can get a peaceful, progressive Country 'by force' After Gowon finally got 'one Nigeria' for you all, where is Nigeria today? Even Belgium, a country of 10 million people with natural resource is richer than you people. RIP Bro, your death was not for nothing because it is better to die for the sake of freedom than to live a life of bondage. |
I don't know who is more ugly between this Bello guy and Delta state Governor |
Adaure4ever:No one is naming them Biafrans, they are naming themselves. I listen to Radio Biafra, the people of AkwaCross are now the biggest callers on the Radio station and everone of them say the same, Biafra or nothing. That's why you should not speak for anyone because the allegiance of the Southern minorities fall in different places, some are for Biafra, some for 'one Nigeria' and others for some sort of 'Niger-Delta Republic'. But for you to claim you already know what more than 40 ethnic groups want is bigotry. Biafra has never been a 'by force' thing the way Nigeria is. Even Ojukwu who led the the first Biafra recieved the mandate of the minorities through the Eastern Nigeria consultative forum before he declared Biafra. |
Adaure4ever:It's funny that some people will accuse Igbos of 'attaching' themselves to the minorities of Southern Nigeria. The same people will then go and 'attach' more than 40 distinct tribes in the South of Nigeria together and call them "Niger Delta" or "South-South". I laugh in Igbo |
Abagworo:You like circumventing the truth. Can you tell us who killed those 2 million people? Tell us all how your wonderful "British incorporated" slave factory called Nigeria killed 2 million people to maintain a non existent brotherhood. .............. So Lord Lugard came to tell you that you are a 'Nigerian'? When do you think you will have the opportunity to go and tell Lord Lugard who he is? |
Adaure4ever:"They", who is "they"? A Bini man wants an independent country with an Efik man he has no connection with? An Urohbo man on the western side of the River Niger wants an independent Country with an Ibibio he has no historical connection with? An Itshekiri man who doesn't know Ogoja want to be with Ogoja? If Igbos, who actually have land bothers with Ohoja,Efik and Ibibio and have interacted with them for hundreds of years have no claim, how can an Itshikiri, Bini,Esan and Urohbo have claim to people they don't even know? How can people want an independent country with other people they don't know? Only Igbos are the unifying factor in the South of Nigeria because only Igboland/ Igboids and Igbo speaking people have land border with every ethic group in the south of Nigeria except Yorubas. Don't speak for any tribe, don't insult them them by saying you know what they want. One thing I can tell you is that there is no tribe in the so called 'South-South' that has ever come out to say they love "one Nigeria". If there was, you would have seen them waving the Green-White-Green flag out on the streets en mass like IPOB did with the Biafran flag |
Adaure4ever:You are asking what they want? Yet you are saying what they want. You are saying they don't want Biafra, they don't want referendum. So please tell us what they want? It is definitely not 'one Nigeria' or there would be no militancy. So please tell us what they want, and as you say it, tell us the premise on which you can say you know what more than 40 ethnic groups in the south of Nigeria want. What does the Ijaw Man want? What does the Efik Man want? What does the Ogoja Man want? What does the Bini Man want? They are all different ethnic groups, some very far from each other. Tell us what they want. |
Adaure4ever:Shut up! So you have now arrogated your self the role of speaking for the minority tribes of Southern Nigeria? Who are you or anyone to speak for them? It is you that is the arrogant. It is not the job of Lord Lugard to come to west Africa to give you your country. It is the right of all the indigenous tribes to decide for themselves what they want to be, and if there are certain groups who are comfortable being with each other, it is their right too. Didn't you witness Scotland get a referendum in 2014? Did you not witness Britain leave Europe a few weeks ago via referendum? This is the same Britain that made you a Nigerian.And you are here talking about who should go with who and who belongs where. Obong Attah is not a God who cannot be disagreed with. Get sense. |
Adaure4ever: |
wirinet:When the War was fought, there was no "South-South". There was the Eastern and Midwestern Region. SE/SS are just Geographical expressions, they are not a people. Eventually, everybody will have the opportunity to decide where they belong because the era of forcing anyone into anything is over, except in Nigeria |
HungerBAD:APC zombie alert! |
Obong Attah doesn't know history. The two most senior men in Government after Ojukwu were from Attahs own state. General Effiong was deputy leader and Mr NU Akpan was chief secretary to the Biafran Government. Chief Frank Opigo, an Ijaw man, was the one who came up with the name Biafra. People like Brigadier Okwechime, brigadier Nwawo, colonel Nzefili, Colonel Nwanjei, Lt Colonel Nzeogwu, Lt Colonel Ochei, Major Isichei, Colonel Joe Achuzia were all Delta Igbos who fought on the side of Biafra. So when people say that Biafra is just about the 5 SE States, I laugh. To this day, I am to see anyone from the so called Niger Delta who says they support 'one Nigeria' whole heartedly. Jokers |
kropotkin2:The tragic events repeating it's self? Only an African fool will say "we are going to fight and kill each other but we must remain one by hook or crook!" Why should be still killing each other in other to be together? I'm an Igbo man, I'm not going to fight for the unity of Nigeria. why should I be fighting to be with the Hausa or Yoruba man? It not like we even knew who they were before Lugard came. Now everybody is shouting and ready to kill each other that they are one, long after Lugard went back home. Nna, this one pass me.

AgentOrange:This is true. Yorubas can sometimes overrate their importance. I laugh when some Yorubas say "If we wanted to secede it would be easy for us". How do they think they can do that? The only people who can determine Yoruba indepedence is Igbos. Yorubas cannot survive a combined Igbo/Hausa onslaught, they will be overrun in less than 3 months. This not the Biafran war that lasted 3 years because of toughness of the Igbos. Yorubas are yet to witness Air raids, shelling, Morters and bombs going off. The only saving grace is that the Yorubas know that Igbos are unlikely to join any fight to save "one Nigeria". As for Mr Yakassai, he need not have bothered with the interview. Yorubas cannot push Igbos to do anything they don't want to. He was right what he said: “Before the civil war started, the Yorubas said if Igbos are allowed to go, they too will go on the secession declaration. “It was Chief Awolowo who said it openly and publicly; it was published in newspapers. He was the one that was sent by Gowon to talk to Odumegwu Ojukwu in the eve of the secession declaration not to secede. “The place Igbos left were occupied by Yoruba, particularly the civil service. “Till today the Yoruba are the dominant elements in the bureaucracy of Nigeria. The Igbos lost that position almost forever. At that time the Igbos were in business; they were the leading elements in business. Now the Igbos are back again. Today they are the leading people in business. They have come back and have taken over trades and manufacturing industry. I think the Igbos have already proved their worth by bouncing back in Nigeria and if there was any time Igbos were politically aware, it is now. The proof is the outright rejection of the ruling APC in Igbo land. Igbos will determine their future and it won't be at the instigation of Yorubas or Hausas. |
It seems that many Yorubas do not know that Nigeria invaded Biafra long before Biafra invaded Nigeria and got to Ore |
