Christians aren't offended because they know these facts do not apply to Jesus.

Buddhists aren't offended because they know these facts do not apply to Buddha.

Why, then, are Muslims offended?

whitebeard:
he already violated them, what else, yet no one is coming for him, if he really wants biafra now is the time to push hard, cause the west said they wpmt have anything to say on biafran matter, no one is stopping him, but KANU is hesitating, because the player hasn't moved the king, so far so good after the sit at home the player has moved the pawns..!

america does not deal with renegade terrorists that will disrupt their oil flow. during this war will the oil production not stop ? and will this not cripple world economies who depend on this oil ? THINK LIKE A WISE MAN AND STOP MASTURBATING OVER FOLLY. nigerian is an ally of america and america will always protect its allies and its interests

Sanchez01:
I didn't need to because your assertion is not only laughable but stupid. Interestingly, you forgot to state where the oil fields are because just like the other little foot soldiers, you are quick to lump the SS with the SE.

Try to create a standalone mindset with these two regions when clamouring or dreaming of your madness. You should by now know where we align when it comes to Biafra. And before you daydream about Biafrans coming for oil fields in the South South, you just have to understand that those in the region would not sit and have you cripple their lands. The aftermath of a war on all sides is always devastating and Nigeria would be impacted, but that is not to say the other side would remain standing.

If there was to be another war between Nigeria and the Eastern Region (God forbid), we all know it would be a repeat, not because Nigeria is only stronger, but because allies would be readily available to protect their interests. That was how the war was won then and nothing would change about it today

I'd suggest you dedicate an hour of your time to seeing some videos of the civil war on Youtube rather than lift a picture of the Dassault Falcon 900 LX to self-service on your never-ending daydream. The only little mind here is yours.

[s]Nigerians need to be more discerning. In a country filled with special interests and rapacious individuals who would stop at nothing to safeguard their predatory lifestyles, one must always analyse and think critically about political statements: who benefits?

I will not buy into any of your nonsense, whether now or in the future. What majority of you are good at is just create chaos, not even laying foundation like the OP of this thread has done. Out of respect for the OP and others, I will refrain from responding to nonentities who have absolutely nothing to offer the Biafra cause but deface her image and portray her as boastful and hateful mother.

i won't school you in history. Go and do your research.

Some people feel Nigeria should not have lost that case because it had been in occupation of that land for long and a number of the residents there are Nigerians. What made Nigeria to lose that case?

All the documents and evidence before the court were all pointing to the ownership of that place as being part of Cameroon. Also, our people in Nigeria had also said that we did not own Bakassi. In fact, our then Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Teslim Elias, also made a statement that Bakassi was not part of Nigeria. That was our own minister. But even before our minister said that, Jaja Wachuku, who was then our Foreign Affairs minister, already said it two years after we got our independence; 1962, that Bakassi was part and parcel of Cameroon. They had all said so, but that was not all. Our maps all indicated that all that area of Bakassi was not part of Nigeria. It was after Cameroon had taken the matter to court and we had already started going to court that we changed our map. The original map that we had about that area was carved into Cameroon. So, those were also issues. Years ago, Germany bought that part of Bakassi and when the land was being partitioned, after taking care of Germany out of the whole enclave, it fell into the hand of France and France ceded it to Cameroon. That was it, and that was part of what was contained in the judgement that was given in favour of Cameroon at that time. But a lot of all those were argued in favour of Nigeria, against Cameroon, when I wrote my dissenting judgement.

Bros, thank you for seeing what I had explained. From what I am seeing, Nnamdi Kanu will be put where he belongs when this movement is all full throttle. Trust me, except we are not IGBOS.

I respect his guts, I love his bravery, he has played his role and will NEVER be forgotten. However, his approach and hateful speeches will do us more harm than good if we allow it propagate beyond this level.

adure4ever was a brilliant young lady but my God, THIS IPOB guys from Nnamdi Kanu's camp tore that lady to pieces until she had to deactivate her account... they dealt with her because she shared a contrary view. I miss her and do hope she comes back. She was really really brilliant, up to date with history, politics for someone of her age ( I think 20y.o).

it is well.

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/169137-why-we-lost-bakassi-to-cameroon-surveyor-general.html


The Surveyor-General of the Federation, Peter Nwilo, has said that Bakassi Peninsula does not belong to Nigeria but to Cameroon.
Mr. Nwilo made the clarification when he featured as a guest on the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, forum in Abuja on Monday, saying that based on available facts, the disputed territory actually belonged to Cameroon.
Nigeria lost the territory to Cameroon based on a judgment of International Court of Justice in The Hague in October 2002.
Nigeria ceded Bakassi to Cameroon on Aug. 14, 2008 following the Greentree Agreement and thus ended the dispute over the 1,000sq/ km territory
Some 90 per cent of citizens in the Peninsula are of the Efik ethnic nationality in Bakassi Local Government Area of Cross River.
“Bakassi was more or less part of what they called Southern Cameroon.
“I know that the available facts did not weigh in favour of Nigeria…the facts they (Cameroon) had at their disposal did not favour Nigeria and that was why we lost it (Bakassi).
“Even though at times we think it is in Nigeria but the evidences didn’t seem to favour us,” he said.
Mr. Nwilo said Nigeria had 10 years to bring up new facts to support its claim and for the judgment to be reviewed but it did not have any new information.
“I know just a few months before that, some people brought up some documents but the country felt it was not something new.
“The condition is that it must be something that we did not have when that case was judged and I don’t think we were able to get something that could take us to the International Court of Appeal.
“The pillars are always put properly. That’s why I said that the accuracy of those pillars that you see is less than sub-millimetre accuracy. So the accuracy is very high.
“So it is not the position of the pillars that is the issue; it is the convention, what was agreed.
“It is after that you have agreed on something then you put pillars,” he said.


Like I said crass ignorance is a disease that only humility and a thirst for accurate knowledge based on cold solid FACTS and not assumptions, presumptions and postulations that have no basis in life or reality.

dyydxx:
ok simple question? why was bakassi ceded?

robotix:
I and thousands of others will not be part of approach being deployed by IPOB EXCEPT they eliminated from this movement. we are not animals and shouldn't act like one.

dyydxx:
your ignorance is too much. Bakassi never belonged to Nigeria to begin with. Take that up with the colonial powers that shared the territory and gave it to the french. So it's not a comparison at all. You are comparing Oranges and Apples.

dyydxx:
This is the first delusion in response to a question on how BIAFRA could be achieved.

The Federal Government would never yield its asset without a fight. it will seek to keep its territorial and sovereign integrity. Anything else is just pure pipe-dream. The way you guys talk of BIAFRA it can only be achieved one way and that is winning the war to secede. Don't be deceived. If you are planning at least plan well.

Udmaster:
Right from day one, I don't and will never support this IPOB Biafra thing. YES I am a proud Nwa afor Igbo.
It is an agitation borne out of delusion by that albino jewish scammer.
Just take a look at their deluded map! Even they have added kogi and benue to their map.
Oh! Where are the Igbo leaders?
That albino scammer want to put Igbo lives and properties in danger again.
He must be stopped! Pls FG Re-Arrest Nnamdi Kanu again.
Thunder fire that idiot, a scammer who want to risk Igbo lives and properties.
There is danger ahead.
IGBOS Can't fight a civil war again, it will be fatal
why do these Ipobs want to destroy what the Igbos have worked to build up since 1970? Why being bitter that Buhari won an election?
Igbo youths, I beg you, you can't win any confrontation with the North.
Every ethnic group in Nigeria are paranoid and suspicious of Igbos.
if war breaks out, Ijaws, Ogonis, Urhobos, Efiks etc will NOT help you. BE WISE.

Amarabae:
Is the black race under a curse? Restructure the country into federalism and this whole rubbish will end.

blueseacats:
The vast majority of Nigerians don't want to be part of the country. But ibos will be the greatest fools of mankind to want to use their blood to pay for everyone's freedom.

That will be the dumbest thing any African tribe will do.

freshest4live:
If we all join in the agitation we could pull something, l believe 80-90% of Nigerians want restructuring even the average Northerner, it is lpobs who exacerbate issues and makes everything sensitive with the confusion they bring as they threaten to divide the nation. Ipobs are not been diplomatic and your leader Kanu is to be blamed.

blueseacats:
South Africa is multicultural too. But if you don't like multicultural society fine, I don't understand my friends from beyelsa, neither do I understand what anyone from calabar says. So you can't carve them into Biafra either. When you draw that biafran map you are taking only ibo speaking states. If not then you are a hypocrite.

And if you are thinking Niger delta republic will be part of Biafra. You are obviously dreaming, especially from someone who thinks no country should ever be multicultural.

fulanmafia:
Any joint statement as such typically has the blessing of the Elders, anyone taking these warnings with a pinch of salt is doing so at their own risk.

Just wait till this notice is over-simplified, translated to Hausa language, printed on pamphlets and spread in the markets and places of worship, though I pray it never gets to that because such half-literate horde of fundamentalists can be d**dly especially at this time of year. This is exactly why the rational Ibo's were being told to caution their semi-literate, ignorant and irritant ipob brethren.

The chicken might have finally come home to roost; the Ibos have been begging for it.

deji15:
South West will soon issue their own ultimatum. The Igbo hypocrites have been crying that they want to leave Nigeria since 2015 after their hero lost the election and since they seems incapable of making up their minds, I think it is best to push them out now.

LionDeLeo:
What you have said is the whole truth but if you look at the way they behave, even the ruly ones will not be spared. Just glance through the comments on this thread.

The truth of the matter is that some ibos are successful while others are not. Believe me, most of these noise makers insulting everyone and trying to cause problems are mostly the failures among them.

I know of several ibo men who have made a lot of money in the north, established there and they don't even go to East again. How can those people be going round trying to incite trouble?

The aims of these ones causing problems is like "we are not successful, to hell with the successful ones, let's break up this country, even if it costs them their life earnings, no wahala, it doesn't affect us".

blueseacats:
The fundamental problem you mentioned is a general disease among Nigerians, Nigeria is not the only multicultural society in the world, I have been to 7 different countries and found that multiculturalism is a plus not a minus, but the fact that an average Nigerian thinks a certain way makes it certain that any breakaway state will experience the same problems.

This meeting took place... 2013. The Egyptian president then... [was] morsi and he has since be displaced. The 12th OIC meeting took place in febuary 2013 ... And besides gej did not even attend the meeting at all ,he only stopped to discuss with morsi about security events then and left immediately. These apc paid posters are gradually losing the...

plaetton:
So based on your above post, which of us has a non-objective , religious bias on this issue ?

In my original post , I never mentioned Christianity nor Islam as a driver of my loathing for the institutionalized oppression of Palestinians.
The oppression and open imprisonment of Palestinians under the most dehumanizing conditions is a fact, not my opinion.
You completely ignored this fact, as if it is justified , simply because ancient Israel is the centre of your religious myths.

Try to imagine yourself a Palestinian for once before you justify their oppression.

And again, if you think Israel has a religious or historical justification to oppress the Palestinians, then you should likewise justify perhaps the Hausa/Fulani oppression of minority groups in Northern Nigeria and throughout Nigeria.

We should all call a spade a spade.
We must be CONSISTENT with our VALUES, and must be CONSISTENTLY vigilant about everyone's freedoms and fundamental human rights.

Curlieweed:
Personally, I haven't touched the herb since I was a teenager. The hassle is too much.

However, as a libertarian I believe that the government has no right to make laws against an activity that doesn't harm third parties. It's not the role of government to protect us from ourselves.

pazienza:
Biafra is an ideology. Every ideology needs to be sold for people to buy them, no matter how good they are, if not well marketed or presented, people won't buy them.

There are Igbos sitting on the fence on this Biafra issue, reason being that they are not sure how it's going to be any better off than Nigeria.

These are the people Arewa-Oduanistanis target with the tales of gloomy Biafra.

And these are the ones we must protect by debunking the Arewa-Oduanistanis lies. We can't have too many dissenting voices in our midst.

Every serious movement must have propaganda against it, managing those propaganda and keeping the spirit of the members of such movement high is crucial.

Nobody is going to identify with a cause they perceive to be destined for failure.

So, No to your advice. Arewa-Oduanistanis with their false propaganda against Biafra as a matter of necessity MUST be debunked and checkmated.
We must keep the morale in our camp high!

Dalukwa.

Curlieweed:
I don't think all this is necessary. If your opponents believe that you're land locked and lack critical resources (including oil and gas as well as land), it's not a smart strategy to disabuse their minds.

We know our geography as well as our local issues. We don't need to share these with the whole world as it only serves to harden attitudes.

irepnaija4eva:
Abeg don't mind that donkey.

plaetton:
Firstly, I don't have strong hate for Israel.
I am just being consistent in my hatred of oppression, wherever I see it.
My spirit just bleeds for oppression wherever I see it.

As a Black man, I cannot but empathize with people , any people, under the yolk of oppression, discrimination or Apartheid, as in the case of Israel against the Palestinians.

If FFK feels for the oppressed in Nigeria, he should likewise feel for the oppressed people of Palestine.

It is purely on those grounds that I support the boycott.

Secondly, contrary to what most ignorant Nigerians think, Israel is neither a Christian nation nor a deeply religious nation. Therefore, you cannot accuse me of religious bias on this issue.
