Kyase: lol tonye was servicing igbos ego for 2015 election so you will vote for his brother jona. We warned you guys severally but you were busy masturbatingg over it. Tonye alone is political smart than half of igbos here on nairaland combine.
Someone just shared a post you made in 2015 on this mattar.Just take a look:
barcanista: @OP it is very sad and unfortunate that a brother (assuming you are) is far behind schedule and is holding to a thrashed position. Biafra is NOT an Igbo thing, it ia a collective aspiration of the people of Lower Niger- And it includes those that were in support of the movement in 1967 and those that never supported it before now but have willingly signed up after realising in a very hard way that the arrangement called Nigeria ia a fraud and has never cared for our well-being. Prior to this time, I was a Chief opponent of this Biafra/Lower Niger but it became clear that the mistake of 1967 by our fathers should not be repeated.
For the record, a Biafra/Lower Niger republic will see the different nations that makes up the independent republic to enjoy autonomy and it has been agreed and adopted that there shall be "Nothing like Minority". In other words, the numerically majority Igbos see the Urhobo as equal partner despite the numerical size. There is nothing like internal dominance.
The birth of this Lower Niger and the biafran vision is a welcomme development. I as an Ijaw see it as a patriotic dream that must be achieved. I am so optimistic that more than 90% of our people are ready for freedom.

1. Briggs is pro-Biafra. Yes, she wants Niger Delta Republic. But that does not prevent a future union with Biafra in a clearly defined terms of unity.
2. Huge synergy is critical to massive accomplishments. Both zones are historically tied by both culture and proximity. And now, since they both want the same exit, it is foolish not to synergize.
3. The friction, resistance and phobia currently shown by folks like Tonye is a normal reaction to every hugely novel idea.They will eventually embrace the reality. Many of them are doing that already. In fact, many post-war igbos, like myself for example, grew up hating the concept of Biafra. But that's no longer the case. Not after being hit by reality.
Amberon11: Ankio Briggs isnt a biafran apologist. She has repeatedly pledged her support for Niger Delta Republic. The videos are on YouTube. You can have a look.
Granted, Tonye is a mediocre politician. But all human brains have the same color. Or do you have an issue with being black.
GodIsBiafran: I disagree with you. Tonye has ZERO potential. He lacks basic logic. He lacks a true sense of history. And he lacks the ability to quantify consequence. He is just another black man with a black brain.
You are actually the blind person here. Politically, Kanu is a universe away from the level where you and your kinds are trapped in.
By the way, tell me, would this be the first time election is collectively boycotted in the history of Nigeria?
Do you even have an idea what led to the first millitary coup in this country?
Zandha: Reading through the thread, it's easy to see that it's not just a matter of being aggrieved due to marginalization and agitating for better treatment or total break away, many of the Igbos supporting Nnamdi Kanu are actually brainwashed automatons who follow him blindly. Learn to look beyond your noses for once, please! You identify so much with your tribe that you've become blind to every other thing, regardless of importance.
CNN "ratings are incredible right now," President Trump "good for business"
John Bonifield, CNN Producer Says Russia Narrative "Mostly bullshit right now"
"Get back to Russia," Says CEO Jeff Zucker
President Trump is Right About Witch Hunt, "No real proof"
Comes in Wake of CNN's Russia-Gate Retraction & New Rules on Russia Coverage
(NEW YORK) -- Project Veritas has released a video of CNN Producer John Bonifield who was caught on hidden-camera admitting that there is no proof to CNN's Russia narrative.
"I mean, it's mostly bullshit right now," Bonifield says. "Like, we don't have any giant proof."
He confirms that the driving factor at CNN is ratings:
"It's a business, people are like the media has an ethical phssssss... All the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school you're just like, that's adorable. That's adorable. This is a business."
According to the CNN Producer, business is booming. "Trump is good for business right now," he concluded.
Bonifield further goes on to explain that the instructions come straight from the top, citing the CEO, Jeff Zucker:
"Just to give you some context, President Trump pulled out of the climate accords and for a day and a half we covered the climate accords. And the CEO of CNN (Jeff Zucker) said in our internal meeting, he said good job everybody covering the climate accords, but we're done with that, let's get back to Russia."
Bonifield also acknowledged: "I haven't seen any good enough evidence to show that the President committed a crime." He continues:
"I just feel like they don't really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the President is probably right to say, like, look you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun, you have no real proof."
"To report not on facts, but instead on narratives that yield high ratings, is exactly the definition of fake news," said James O'Keefe. "We said we are going after the media, and there is a lot more to come."

You do not give a hoot about Anambra state. You are only scared of the fact that the status quo has changed and the the establishment is about to totally lose its influence and power over the peoole. Guess what? Me likey! That's TRUE democracy - a situation where the establishment and its tiny beneficiaries (like you) are sore scared of the people. That's democracy.
Shouldn't Imolites and their APC gang be rejoicing over the boycott? Or is it no longer a free ticket for you guys to take over Anambra and the entire south east, just ad Sheriff took over PDP?
So why the panic if not that IPOB is simply getting its acts so darn right?
Although as idiot, who is clueless about the process of negotiating with a wicked devil, it is normal for una to hope for a handout from the devil in the name of restructuring. But even your 100th generation will keep waiting until they pass on, yet no one will restructure anything, if not for the audacity of IPOB.
Thing is, a negotiator who lacks the capacity to walk out on the table, is clearly worthless to the table. And the devil is too wicked to take the noise of a worthless bunch serious.
Next, please.

honourhim: Even if you boycott the election, result will still come out and a governor will emerge. He will still rule your state.
Why don't you also drop the naira and start using biafra currency? If you guys are not hypocrites then boycott naira usage. Transfer all your naira into our account and go for biafra currency . I tell you restructuring will produce better result than Biafra for now but you people are so brainwashed by your foolish leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Tufiakwa!
If Tonye were half as proactively strategic as he has been passionate, he would have been a beacon of light to the youths in Nigeria politics. But I'm afraid, the dude still has a long learning to do. Unfortunately, he repeats the same mistakes in circles.
HopeAtHand: @Tonyebarcanista, take this write-up and think it through.
There are no permanent enemies or friends anywhere, only interests. Nigeria is fundamentally fvcked up, the fault lines are growing bigger and sooner Nigeria will have its date with destiny. Making alliances for the future is what you ought to canvass and not displaying proof of hate of Igbos or any southern tribe in particular.
Northerners will most likely not relinquish this system that fantastically favors them for something less appealing, and this wil lead us to the point where a united stand as people of the SE and SS will together seek our way out. The SE needs us, we also need them. The issue is to encourage them(IPOB, Massob etc) to come for a robust dialogue where every topic is discussed to its finest detail.
Once we achieve an exit from Nigeria, ethnicities can form whatever republics with whichever tribes they want. But we must unite and push an exit from Nigeria.
Well, keep deluding yourself and wasting your energy in party politics. Five years from now it will be "had I known".
But you have just been forewarned, though. Your choice.
TonyeBarcanista: Lol you aren't smart if you think that IYC, a group I belong and a very deep insider will tilt or has ever tilted towards Biabia-whatever.
Let me inform you, IYC does not speak the position of the leaders or whatever but the position of Ijaw Youths.
Historically, Ijaws NEVER opposed Biafra or any other agitation but our position is clear as to where we stand... NO TO IJAW IN BIAFRA... SIMPLE!!!
Ankio Briggs is expressing an opinion that even she knows is DOA but I guess she loves the attention...
Asari? hahahahaa ask him what happened to his granduncle who supported Biafra during the war.
I said the word is not and has never been derogatory. In fact the word is used for any geographical area that's encompassed with water - including those in igbo land.
The word is not used to describe a group of people until you attach another word to it. For example "onye mba mmiri" or "ndi mba mmiri" which mean "a riverrine person" or "riverrine people" respectively.
So when Nigeria says that Tonye, for example, is from Niger Delta or Riverrine Area, it does not in any way sound derogatory to the person of Tonye, unless he has problem understanding English.
Okoroawusa: every derogatory name started as a normal name calling by the group feeling superior to refer to the group they feel is inferior like d word "nigger' was first used among whites to refer to blacks.
Tonye you are clearly out of sync with the heart of IYC.
You are still hoping to build Nigeria...
But your IYC is focusing on building bridges and leverages for self-determination.
Posting this here to discredit the inclusion of Bayelsa into Biafra territory does not change the fact that IYC is very much willing to negotiate for clear coexistence terms within or with Biafra. If you are truly proactive, you should be getting pretty close to Briggs and IYC helms rather than continuing with Nigeria's mediocre party politics. Their is no future in it.
If you are half as smart as I think you are, you would have noticed that authority is slowly but steadyly shifting from the government structures to the people. Smart futuristic leaders are re-evaluating their ideologies and political aliances right now.
Don't be cought playing the old politics when the new reality takes over the mainstream. You will be left behind forever.
TonyeBarcanista: Meanwhile, the official position of Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide
That Egbe Emi of a lady should know that Mba Mmiri is not a derogatory term though. It actually connotes the same thing as "Riverrine Area" or "Niger Delta". In fact, the average igbo person from Enugu considers igbo riverrine areas like Ogbaru and Oguta as Mba Mmiri. All you would have done is ask for the meaning. But an ibgophobic person would rather assume the worst about the igbos than deal with facts.
giftft: When Kanu was 'ranting' on radio Biafra,you called it a foolish idea.
He started insulting everyone including Igbos . you called him a fool and an illiterate and a fraudster.
He used that to get your attention and 'intelligent' you still called him an idiot.
He started visiting counties in preparation for his visit to Nigeria .you said he doesn't know anything.he is not intelligent.
He announced that he would visit Nigeria and be kidnapped. You reminded him of how other freedom fighters were murdered and nothing happened.you called him mumu who lacks strategy and wisdom.
He came back and was arrested .you celebrated it and said he will die in prison.you Chanted "I said so".
While in prison he roared like a lion he is,called the president a mad man and boasted that he can't be jailed.you said it is a wrong strategy. That he should have shut up like Mandela did whereas your intelligence did not let you know that Mandela was dealing with human beings whereas KANU was dealing with animals.
When he left the prison ,you got angry and frustrated. You even advised him to lie low.unfortunately, he didn't listen to your advice like he has always ignored others from you.
When he started welcoming visitors ,you became more frustrated and started analysing how he has gone against his bail conditions and even called on govt to lock him up again.lol You own is only to analyze. no action and no nothing. Spending energy and time on a man who is busy living his dream and has been succeeding.
When he asked the Igbo's to stay at home ,you laughed at him and said no e will listen to a fraudster.
When the sit at home was successful ,you became frustrated and started attacking the Igbos. Lol.
Now that he has asked for a date for referendum or there won't be any election ,you are all over the place calling it another wrong move. You that is full of wisdom have never said anything about the referendum part but has dwelt on the election part.
All I am saying to you is ; CONTINUE. who your wisdom don help?
You are too politicaly naive and ignorant to have an opinion on issues like this.
Go and read up first.

jaychubi: This directive and approach of kanu to getting a referendum for Biafra from FG will be counter productive n at best thoughtless. It is tantamount to playing into d hands of the enemy BC it simply means an Hausa man from Kano can go for an election in Anambra n mobilize his community in Anambra under APC to get d voters card n vote for him to become the Governor of Anambra or elsewhere in d South East.
This will happen if no voting directive of kanu is observed in South East which to me is counter productive and thoughtless.
Kanu shld rather drum support for APGA in d upcoming election or better still use other strategies to get referendum n forget this no voting gimmicks BC it is thoughtless.
We remain Nigerians until we get Biafra peacefully until then u ve d right to vote n be voted for bikonu umunne mu. Finally kanu shld learn to consult widely before taking major decision concerning the Biafran project.
I salute ur courage Nnamdi Kanu but u need to blend wisdom to ur courage Biko nwanne mu nwoke.
Is it that you don't know the difference between persuasion and prevention?
Of course you know the difference, but as a fallen demon from the west, you must distort open truths and peddle lies to your gullible westerners.
Anyway, just check pazienza's comment up there.
It shows that contrary to your lie, both zik and bello booted AG out due the west's culture of treachery and deception. The exact same thing you folks are doing now on nairaland. It did not start today. It's in you.
In 1959, NCNC had the most votes, The AG had the second highest votes and the NPC had the LEAST number of votes. And about 160 seats were needed to form the government.
Awo then offered Zik the Prime Minister position with an NCNC/AG Coalition, which Zik rejected opting rather to be a ceremonial Governor General on an NPC/NCNC Coalition, for reasons best known to him and also being advised by KO Mbadiwe.
In 1978, on NTA, K O Mbadiwe said he will regret the counsel he gave Zik till the day he dies to not accept the offer Awolowo gave Zik for Zik to be Prime Minister at that crucial time in 1959.
Awo being the wise man that he is accepted the position of finance minister, following the Chancellor of the Exchequer British parliamentary model who is in effect next most powerful after the prime minister.
Are you aware there were folks who claimed to be pro-igbo during the civil war but yet disliked Ojukwu? Those folks were the confused elements whose unstable minds helped to thwart the new nation.
You cannot truly be pro-Biafra today and actively say you dislike kanu, just like you cannot claim to be pro-Christianity and say you hate Paul. Doing so, only shows you have no idea what you are talking about.
Finally, trying to differentiate "Anambra from Abia", reminds me of those Jewish mockers who made fun of Jesus by asking "can any good thing come out of Nazareth?".
adadike281: KANU will have to declare ' no election' in Abia first. APGA is d brain child of Dim Odumegbu Ojuku so KANU should think twice before uttering rubbish . Igbos in d north have already rejected him and many more will soon hate him. I am pro Biafra but I never liked KANU one bit.
Replacing the leaders won't change anything at the federal level.
IPOB knows exactly what they are doing.
If the election is boycotted by a huge % of the population, the legitimacy of any emergent government becomes questionable. The group is bent on getting a binding referendum conducted. The way Nigeria is designed, you cannot get referendum by playing Nigerian politics or changing your representatives in it. You get it by a resolute political activism.
Again, this won't be the first time election is boycotted in Nigeria. It was done in the Western region prior to the first coup.
In fact, although it's not exactly the same as election, APC boycotted the 2014 CONFAB.
So folks have the right to boycott a system they believe is rigged against their collective interest.
Nonaira1: I have to agree with the OP on this. I'm a huge IPOB supporter but I disagree with Nnamdi on the election boycott. He should replace SE leaders, not give them space to rig themselves in. Nnamdi please think this through.
Really? All the countries which have broken up into various parts in history must be in Mars then, don't you think so?

dyydxx: I ask again who is this International Community? Who are they? And do they meddle in any country's Sovereignty? Ask yourself about Russia invading Georgia during George Bushs Presidency, Did the so called International community do anything about it? Just recently the same Russia has invaded and annex Crimea, Where was the International Community? Two weeks ago Saudi Arabia and GCC countries blockaded Qatar and are demanding they meet 10 unrealistic requests?, What has the International Community done about it. You guys still don't get it. There is no International Community, there are only Powers that be and the Powers that be only look at there own self interest. They are motivated by their own interests. No country, I repeat no country will support separatists movements for the fear of encouraging such movements in their own backyards. This is a very sensitive issue and the World Powers will not support Biafra under any circumstances. The earlier this sinks in the better. It's just a pipe dream.
1. It is idiotic to ask igbos to leave the north while they are still Nigerians. It cannot happen.
If you want them out, then use force as you did in 1966 or compel the FGN to conduct a binding referendum on Biafra.
And if the yes have it, then accord the Biafran state her due sovereign recognition and withdraw all Nigerian agencies from the terriotry. Then you can legitimately expel igbos from anywhere in Nigeria if you assume you can do without them.
Untill then, you can only make noise and nothing else.
2. To the best of my knowledge, Kanu's proposition (not yet an order) for election boycott was for 2019 in the entire region and not for 2017 in Anambra state alone. Don't get it twisted.
(*Edit okay just saw the new release saying IPOB will campaign for totl boycott of Anambra election if the FGN fails to fix a date for referendum.)
3. In a democratic setting, political activism is very valid. And authority is ALWAYS domiciled with the collective, and not just with their representatives.
4. So rather than commiting sucide about IPOB and the igbos, kindly focus on your darn region and shut the fvck up on things that are none of your business.
[s]
StOla: But the Igbos in the North have said they don't want to go home to the so called Biafra. They claim they have not asked for any Biafra.
Which begs the question, have you seen or heard or read that any SE elected representative of the people state that they want Biafra?
Has any motion been raised that was voted down?
Let Kanu win the civil war within the Igbos and Igbo land first if he wants to usurp the political structure there. Then the rest of Nigeria would accept that he alone is the representative of the Biafrans, and his demands becomes the demands of those people.
The above tells you that many people are cowering under the terror that Kanu can unleash with his terrorists group. They cannot afford to have a contrary view, so they rather keep quiet. Even while on bail, the thug still has the audacity to address a message to such people. He called them lesser than animals.
If you have followed the opinion of many of such IPOB terrorists, you will already observe that they do not even care about the welfare or safety of the Igbos outside the SE. Infact, most of the hate campaign by Kanu and IPOB had been planned to use such Igbos as casualties of the anarchy and chaos they expected would occur outside the SE in response to the aggressive hate campaign against the North and SW.
As it stands, the only representatives the Nigerian state recognises from the SE are the duly elected political officers and elder statesmen who have held political authority in the past. Till now they have not requested for anything. But we know a terrorist has been making noise and he has been put within the perimeter of the zoo where he will suffer for every campaign of anarchy he conspired.
If the cone head proves that Nnia Nwodo said any of that nonsense I will deactivate this account today. The ediot is just one of the lying jobless and shameless demons who litter nairaland with their silly rants of igbophobia.
Of course, mynd44 won't see this. He will allow the fake info to spread or die naturally. But if it's a positive idea about Biafra he would delete the thread at the speed of light.
irepnaija4eva: Before the insults go ballistic, abeg provide yam and saurce of this post..
In your selective armnesia, which you are falsely touting as objectivity, you forgot that prior to the first coup there was already a hysterical call for physical and economic anihilation of the igbos in both north and south?
Did you not read where he mentioned that even BEFORE INDEPENDENCE there had already been AT LEAST TWO cases of massacre against the igbos?
Were those two pre-independence massacres a result of the first coup too?
How come you also forgot to mention that the ULTIMATE REASON for the first coup was to install Awolowo as Nigeria's head of government?
Can't you see that you are not anywhere near being objective, instead you are doing what your types know best: deflecting from the reall issues and lying through your teeth.
TheCabal: Now you know why I unsubscribed from Saharatv.
Mr Rudolph aka. Dr. Damages conveniently ommited several parts of history.
I stopped reading line for line after he subliminally injected the false notion that the northern coup "just happened". The rise up against the Igbo was not unprovoked, but Mr. Rudolph does not feel this is important.
He ignores the bitter truth that the many years Nigeria has suffered under the rule of the military was a result of the first coup in Nigeria.
Nonetheless, we understand the rhetoric behind this article. His omission of the events that led to the second coup in Nigeria, sends a strong signal to anyone who started reading his article 'objectively'.
