A United Nigeria is when an Igbo man becomes a governor in Lagos state..

Abagworo:
Afam think deep before you conclude. Buhari has not taken off. I feel bad that Igbos refused to demand for federal presence under Jonathan but have refused to allow Buhari start off smoothly. Jonathan ruled Nigeria at the peak of oil boom until we had this crisis but nothing tangible can be pointed out. Let us give Buhari time.

princejayboss:
Look .... Let me tell you something..... Am an igbo man and a proud one too.... If you have ever lost a family in the hands of the north Nigeria just because a TV series in the Europe ... personally I don't think I have issues with the Yoruba people... They are just fellows who want to be happy and enjoy while the party last besides during my masters degree program I lived with a Yoruba guy in Moscow....the guy was a wonderful guy.


I can't forget seeing a brother burn to death in a church in the north.... Thank god I survived ....i can never forgive any northerner for making me lonely with no brothers ....so if you have witnessed the rot of the north you not be foolish enough to write this.


You said most pple who agitates for Biafra are broke people.....l lol.... living in Texas don't make you a rich guy .... 70% Nigerians in the US eat from hand to mouth .... You know is the truth and for crying out loud you are a broke dude living in one of subs over there, I have been to the US at least 15x....

Personally I do not like Nnamdi Kalu because i really do not like his style but I really support Biafra though in a different form... Despite the fact that I have properties in Abuja and Lagos.... I still do support Biafra 100%

Finally you forgot that California actually wanted an out of the US.... Not just Cali but two others....


Next time if you don't know what to write.. Don't write

okwadatigbogal:
I pray this Biafra never sees the light of day! Nonsense! What exactly are u idiots agitating for? Almost all the ppl who want this Biafra are the broke asses from the east who are jealous of their fellow easterners success in other lands, so they want to truncate it by force. Almost all of them have never visited outside igboland and they sit down to talk nonsense, claiming injustice! How exactly do u want to fight and win this war?? Hehehe... u ppl are busy agitating and fighting in igboland when d so called war should be fought in other lands. How exactly do u want to control the so called war?? On which front do u want to fight? If u have balls..advance into other lands and see what will happen. In d civil war of the 1960s, the war was better controlled because migration wasnt that much, but as at today, controlling such a war will be very difficult because of heavy migration. Infact Igbos have the highest emigration rate in Nigeria. So if war breaks out, we will have d largest.casualty and we will definitely lose. We are not ready for any stupid war yet! We have no functioning seaport, no serious airport and other social anemities that will make it easier for us to wage war. A referendum will work better than dis war of a thing..because we will surely lose if war breaks out. You cannot fight war on many fronts and Igbos are scattered all over the place. Another issue is this unnecessary hatred between igbos and yorubas. What exactly is the cause of the hate?? I am igbo and d truth must be said. When u come to another man's land have some respect and regard for them. Why will u be claiming lagos is not yoruba land?? It is very bad and I cant blame yorubas for disliking igbos because of dis! Why dont u go and claim Kano?? because u know northerners don't take rubbish and they won't hesitate to kill u if u make such claim! Yorubas are naturally a tolerant ppl so making such claims has resulted to unnecessary bad blood. Besides..what's with all d crowning of eze ndigbo in every community?? Of what use are these useless traditional institutions in every single town outside Igboland?? There lies d problem of we Igbos! They cannot rule themselves and they hate being ruled! Biafra will be a disaster because the typical Imo man will never allow an anambra person rule over him and vice versa.the smaller states/tribes in d so-called biafra will suffer worse, because some igbo groups feel to big and they will never allow smaller groups or states lord over them. Igbos dont love themselvs at all...thats why u still hear stuff like osu, nwa nsukka, nwa abakaliki, and other derogatory comments we direct at each other. Besides Texas In the USA, is almost the size of the whole Nigeria! And d USA has over 50 something states and every one of them is working fine! America is the most diverse Nation on earth..yet they are doing really fine! So why cant Nigeria do fine?? I think the problem is the curse on the black man. Believe me...even if Nigeria is divided into local governments, there will still be ccontrovery and underdevelopment. We all in Nigeria and Africa need a change In mentality. We need to love ourselves more and look out for d greater good of all and not just ourselves and our families. Lastly, I pity any one that will come and cuss me out.. Just know that u are cussing ur stupid self. If ure not mature, pls dont respond to me. Ive got no time. And yes I am Igbo...and A proud one at that!

WHY CANT WE DO SO IN NIGERIA? ...if we can do it in a small 1/36 country?

I say "Yes, We can".
But we have challenges of "tribalism and Religion".

FreeGlobe:
we will do all of the above after Nigeria stops feeding on biafra oil

So the OIL now BELONGS TO Biafra?

Hmmmm.... people of the South-South, I hope you guys are listening?

PointB:
Freedom is more important than money.

I have seen countries shut down for weeks to drive home their point.

When Lagosians wanted to die for free petrol,they were at Ojota for days, and Lagos didn't collapse!

Icecomrade:
Aren't you Joker? You have been singing the praise of danladi since his chairing the the seat to prosecute Saraki

Let me help you with the answer you crave. If he was removed by GEJ, he wouldn't have been around to do your dirty bids. GEJ left him to make mockery of your charade call FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.

Hope that answers your question

Durinsday:
The contribution is low. You know why? Because they would have been empowered if their hydrocarbon reserves were developed. But then that leaves them with the largest untapped hydrocarbon reserves in the onshore.

And also the cheapest to exploit since they are all land-based.

You need to go learn your Nigerian Geography.

Shymm3x:
Ha! I see you have stopped talking about clash of interests, which is the primary reason why Nigeria is an utter failure.
...........

Sir, the truth is that: corruption, nepotism, bad leadership et al are symptoms of the structure of the country and having a big government where everything is centralised. Take nepotism for example - it's intertwined with competitive environments and human nature cos we're all subconsciously partial to those we see as family, no matter how folks may try to live in denial. So how would you be able to rid the polity off nepotism, in such a competitive country like Nigeria, where the three headed-monsters (Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa/Fulani) are trying to protect their respective interests? And if curbing nepotism is a pipe-dream, how would you be able to solve the problem of bad leadership and corruption which are offspring of nepotism?

Furthermore, when trying to ascertain if something is either feasible or not, it's always good to do a proper feasibility study. And once you take time out to do a proper feasibility of study about Nigeria and human behavioural patterns vis-a-vis countries that're functioning in other climes. You'd see that it'll be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for Nigeria to function properly. Honesty of purpose is very difficult there are interests to be protected within a structure. For example: we all saw how Buhari got elected with a pledge of equity/equality and honesty of purpose. However, what did he do when he got there? - he and his Northern cabal made sure the executive, legislative, and judiciary are in control of the North. [/b]That's how you checkmate folks and secure ya interests. Regional government and true federalism out of the window, with just one move - and the Northern interest was protected by that move.



[b]I honestly can't answer Biafran questions for Igbos - they'll have to answer that.

Redman44:
Look, the European countries we defeated will continue developing the players they brought to this U-17 Tournament that Nigeria just won while many of the Golden Eaglets who have triumphed tonight will be forgotten by March 2016. We need to start doing things in a visionary manner in Nigeria. We need a very good Foreign Technical Adviser/Coach. Someone like Clemens Westerhof who will come in and start building a Super Eagles Squad for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. We have 7 years to before the 2022 World Cup and 7 years is enough to build a very strong team that get us into the Semi Finals of Qatar 2022 Senior World Cup. Sunday Oliseh will only do his best but we need a developmental coach from Germany or Holland. From 2010, we have been producing a lot of players below the age of 20 years old. By 2022, we should not see the likes of Odion Ighalo, Mikel and Ideye Brown in the Super Eagles Squad. Do you understand what I am saying?

Sometime it baffled me when some people wail about niger-delta and it oil as the cause for igbo's agitation for biafra, . .

Just agree that it will be those five Ibo states ...and you are free to go!

Stop lumping the South-South into your Biafra!

Kestolovee95:
May thunder fire you and your presidency. Your zoo is fccked beyond redemption and you are talking about 'Igbo presidency'. You don't know what's about to hit the zoo.

We've always told you the awusa, foolanis and yorubas destroyed nigeria, they should fix their Oduarewastan. 21 biggest looters are all from these regions. Biafran is far bigger than what you think. There will be no nigerian elections anywhere in Biafraland in 2019. you've not seen anything yet.

We've heard such "boasting" before, so many times!
Chest-beating and mouthing-off!

MrGerald:
Seems you're just born? people that brought you the modest government you're enjoying today that you said they've not produced any leader of note? where were your fathers when zik was going around negotiating your independence from your slave masters? the region that produced first both civilian president and military head of state? one thing is certain, Igbos are too republic to be in this uncivilized entity called Nigeria.

Shymm3x:
Perhaps, I got lost in semantics - so I take that back. However, if you believe "it's not functioning properly as it should" cos of corruption, malpractices, divergent interests (I added this from what you posited in this rebuttal about Yorubas being "to develop at our own pace.....without being bogged down by those who don't want to "develop" or had other things on their mind or as their priority" etc...why do you think these problems exist? Take for example, the case of divergent interests, which is the primary reason why Nigeria isn't functioning. Is it ever going to be possible to align these interests due to how different the people are culturally, traditionally, and sociologically?

Once you examine this critically, you'd see that, saying ""it's not functioning properly as it should" while giving excuses, without examining the primary reason why it isn't - is more of a message of hope than a pragmatic approach. The reality is that the country will never be able to function properly cos when interests don't align, it's always impossible to get things done. That's the story of Nigeria.



Yes, the Yorubas were able to progress/develop exceedingly in the first republic and were on their way to destroying the stigma about black Africa and governance - before the progress was truncated by the coup and everything that happened subsequently. You'd agree with me (like you alluded to in ya post) that the only reason why this happened is cos they were able to pursue their own interests and execute effectively, within a structure that allowed that - without much interference from the rest. I'd even say the first republic was more of a pseudo-confederation (less autonomy) than regional government, based on the structure the UK left behind cos the regions did have some form of autonomy and were able to do a lot of things - without the centre.

However, is such an arrangement feasible in today's Nigeria, where so much powers have been arrogated to a section of the country, without clamouring for secession? Do you think those who enjoy undue advantage over the rest of the country would give it up on a platter, without a fight?

You know, when Scotland wanted to do a "peaceful secession", Britain made it very clear to them "what and what" they can not go along with, including membership of the E.U and desisting from using the British Pounds!
When they saw the "real picture", l guess no one needed to persuade them to stay!

Don't waste yoir time educating the useless idiott who thinks using multi coloured posts will elevate his thinking from that of a kindergarten class where multi colour is the norm

adanny01:
If Biafra secedes, are you expecting a Military dictatorship or you would want an election. Man is selfish in Nature and the first elected president of Biafra will definately be Igbo and you dont have the votes to stop it. Then they will consolidate in their hold and Nigerdeltans will start a new uprising.

Besides, Effiong was President for 4 days because Ojukwu fled. There is no Biafra without Igbo.

D problem wit most of us is dat we argue witout facts esp 4rm d comfort of our homes. I am a traveller/adventurer and I can tell u categorically dat Ders oil in ibo land in commercial quantities. Esp in abia and imo state. D oil der can sustain d whole of ibo land 4 decades. Am not even goin 2 go into gas reserves in ibo land. Stop sayin witout ND dey won't survive! Pls get ur facts 1st hand. Ders oil in alaigbo! Stop deceivin urself!

Oga painter, can't you actualize whatever tickles your fantasy without sharing the passport with Biafrans?

vanbonattel:
You are making my points for me, the Yoruba confuse their cowardice for quiet resolution but cannot point to any benefits of the years of suffering and smiling
You can always think that you have ruled for many years since independence but the poverty in your lands is alarming. Apart from a few multi billionaires the rest of your youths are wasting under the various long bridges robbing every one or engaging in other illegal activity. The approach of the Yoruba is to blame for the hole the country found itself due to its stupid way of remaining aloof in the face of gross incompetence in handling the affairs of this ccountry

Do you now see where we differ? There is cowardice in the genes of every Yoruba, including you.
