You are talking bullshyttt, nonsense useless Yoruba and Hausa abokkiii useless talk.


if you don't want Igbos in your midst, then allow Nigeria to divide, allow Igbos to secede as they have been demanding for decades and then you have the full right to order Igbos out of your territory and don't issue visa to any Igbo man seeking for your impoverished cocoa nation visa after division, but so long as you greedy, selfish Yorubas want Nigeria to remain and keep joining force with Hausa-Fulani to fight every region seeking for freedom from your failed Nigeria, then you have no freaking right to order any Igbo or Ijaw or Urhobo or whoever out of your state because it is Nigerian state, and if you dare nonsense, you will realize that 1966 is not 2020something...


Look at the ewedu smelling mouth talking like he is doing Igbos a favor...so long as you fools continue to say you want one Nigeria that has failed and keep fighting Igbos for trying to leave you and your cow loving Hausa-Fulani masters, then you have no godammn right to talk nonsense about Igbos living in your land, because every part of Nigeria belongs to Nigerians, and Lagos in particular is built by Nigeria's collective resources, so stop bragging about Lagos and brag with Osun, Ekiti, Ondon, etc

Go and ask your brothers that tried nonsense in Okota....go and ask the ones that tried it in Alaba some years back, go and ask those that tried it at Ladipo.....what nonsense!!


You use resources from South-south and southeast to politically develop your barren region and then turn around to talk nonsense!!!

Now they are using Nigeria's collective national resources to construct railway for you ewedu loving evil supporters, and you still have the useless gut to yan dust, why not allow Nigeria divide peacefully and use your cocoa resources to run your region and watch if anybody will dare step a foot in your barren region.

Yoruba land is what it is today, all because of crude oil from Niger Delta and Igbo people's business and entrepreneurial spirit, tell me how many properties or houses or industries or schools Yorubas own outside Lagos and some Yoruba state, but count how many Igbos own in your own land and in Hausa-Fulani land and also in Igbo land and you will know the people holding the progress of Nigeria today. Nonsense, evil loving, injustice embracing savage of a selfish tribe

Lol, the cries of nonentities like you waters my soul. Such a delight to behold.

I won’t respond to your tantrums because it will imply I’m also as deluded as you.

In your own analogy, you want to leave Nigeria and yet you majorly reside in other region in your numbers. One would ask if actually you are sane people or you’re just a conglomerate of fools.

Like I said, even if you shout from now till thy kingdom come, we will still make use of the SS crude oil to build our rails, build our roads, build our seaports, pay our workers salaries and when we are sure the oil is almost dried up or useless we will put this nation on self-destruct.

Your father sins must be re-payed by you guys and we will make sure you pay it with every drop of your sweat and blood.

The western region was doing fine and excelling before your fore-fathers truncated a working system with their greed. The aftermath of that action is what Nigeria is witnessing now and you think you can eat your cake and have it?

Even the Biafra you’re chanting is just a smokescreen by your leaders. When your leaders are serious about Biafra then maybe Nigeria will take you serious. When your representative and governors themselves demand for a separate country then we can know you are serious. But for now it’s still small group of almost insane people exhibiting a serious Napoleon complex online.

Mind you, I am part of the Yorubas that are advocating for an Oduduwa nation of like minded Yorubas. But I’m just here taunting you and letting you know you can go to hell coz we Yorubas don’t take orders from anyone and we don’t owe any mortal any loyalty or honor!

Sink that into your brain and stop depending on the Yorubas before you can take action!

How many days did it took Biafra soldiers to capture mid west and part of kogi and kwara

You should know the Biafran soldiers were led by Col. Banjo then and they actually met little resistance in the mid-west.

The little resistance was due to the pre-secession arrangement that all soldiers should return to their regions to stop the spate of killings, in which Igbo soldiers had been major victims.

The Nigerian soldiers who were supposed to defend the Mid-West state were mostly Mid-West Igbo and, while some were in touch with their eastern counterparts, others resisted.

That was why Muritala formed the 2nd infantry division to expel the Biafrans from the mid-west and also to defend the west from the Biafrans and they also launched an attack from the same west.

When the Biafran military administrator knew the federal troops already reclaimed the land from him, he hurriedly declared the republic of Benin that September, although it existed for just a single day.

Remeber mid-west was captured around that August and the federal forces retook it by late September that same year.

25?? No wonder,

Well with my level of education and accomplishment at my young age, I think I’m better qualified to air public opinion with high level of maturity than you.

I don’t know your age, even if you are old as my grandad I can decipher that your intelligent quotient is still at par with that of a 5year old kid.

That you chose to ask for age at this time of civilization to judge an intellectual discussion credibility means you’re actually parading a defective brain.

Grandpa, permit me to say you are a compound fool!

okeyglm:
if you followed the events accordingly, you would have seen the Biafra was winning initially. the equation changed when Russia, Britain , Egypt, Sudan etc joined the fight. even CIA predicted Biafra to win.

Lol, do you know Biafra was already surrounded since 1968? They’ve been blockaded since then and it was just a war of reclaiming the final cities.

Enugu, Bonny, Calabar and Portharcourt was already captured in 1968, a year after the war!

They know that without Igbo population and business acumen in Lagos and Niger Delta crude oil to milk in alliance with Hausa-Fulanis, they are doomed as a people, that's why they cry blood whenever they hear about division of Nigeria, they cringe in their huts.


Every Nigerian tribe now have come to know who they Yorubas are; an unreliable tribe. It is now well known. They are neither here nor there.

They think Hausa-Fulanis are fools, they think Buhari and co don't know that Yorubas hate them with passion but only forming love for him just to lure him into helping to make a Yoruba man President in 2023, they think Hausa-Fulanis are as gullible as they were in the 60s.


They will shock them!!

No matter how much you hate us, no tribe in Nigeria will remain as peaceful and successful like the Yorubas.

Your people hate us this much and yet you are living in your number within Yorubalands, Lagos and Oyo state precisely.

See let me tell you, I want more of this hate to emanate from you guys so you can wake up the Yorubas still on the fence to see you for what you truly are.

The moment you push the Yorubas to start behaving like the Hausa/Fulani in a savagery manner, then the Igbos in the Southwest will know what is called wickedness and savagery.

Continue this hate, take it to Facebook, Instagram, real life and let the sleeping demon in the Yorubas wake up. Then let’s see how you will contain the days of rage that will follow.

Continue and God give you strength to hate more!

Blackking98:
the same u telling igbos to build bridges with other tribes and join apc for 2023 is now saying you only owe your tribe loyalty. So you acknowledge that you're stealing from us but u want us to equally give u something as thank u gift abi. You acknowledge that you're taking other people's Rights and God given gift, funny how you're saying almighty God in what u write because I know he doesn't glorify what you're doing. We really need to thank Jesus more because it was the days of Abraham you would have been struck dead by God for calling His name after accepting that you're stealing

See I’m more angered about Nigeria than you but I think everything we are going through is the law of Karma.

The Igbos are the genesis of our problems, they truncated a working government with their first coup of senseless planning and even implemented the unitary system of government.

Ask your parents about western region and it’s wealth, we are the envy of all region even in black Africa. We implemented many first with a working system of free education that even the world bank thought we wouldn’t be able to manage. We have a tax working system and the western region is the first to increase minimum wage from 1shilling 9pence to 5shilling.

Everything is going good for the Yorubas before the Igbos strucked and the aftermath of the problem is what Nigeria is currently facing now.

So tell me why you think the Yorubas are parasites? Why do you think so?

What I’m saying is that in economics you maximize your profit and it will be better to make use of the Niger Delta oil for our road and rails in return to the atrocities you guys committed against a working system of government.

It’s karma, accept your fate and respect your masters!

Biafra used both locally made weapons, foreign bought from France. But they had very low access to foreign weapons and military support.

Igbos manufactured lots of weapons used by Biafra. The only rocket propelled missile aka Ogbunaigwe aka Ojukwu-bucket used by Biafra was locally fabricated by Biafra technicians and scientists. My maternal uncle was among the head technicians then.

It was mostly air raids from British and Egyptian Airforce that posed biggest threats to Biafra troops advancement into Nigeria side. Go figure out

LoL you are funny. Do you ever heard of the Swedish mercenaries of Biafra?

Swedish Count Carl Gustav von Rosen who led air attacks with five Malmö MFI-9 MiniCOIN small piston-engined aircraft, armed with rocket pods and machine guns. His Biafran Air Force consisted of three Swedes: von Rosen, Gunnar Haglund and Martin Lang. The other two pilots were Biafrans: Willy Murray-Bruce and Augustus Opke. From 22 May to 8 July 1969 von Rosen's small force attacked Nigerian military airfields in Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin City and Ughelli, destroying or damaging a number of Nigerian Air Force jets used to attack relief flights, including a few Mig-17's and three of Nigeria's six Ilyushin Il-28 bombers that were used to bomb Biafran villages and farms on a daily basis.

There are many type of this mercenaries fighting on the side of Biafra with the constant supply of ammunition by France using Ivory Coast as the way station for shipment to Biafra.

You guys problem is that you have been sold too much propaganda such that you don’t actually know the truth even about your own history.

So you mean Ogunigbwe the local fabricated launcher is what made the war last long for Biafra? Then if Biafrans actually used foreign weapons, what then is this clamoring and wailing importance?

Blackking98:
I just said you can't be trusted and you're here saying we hate u lol. We don't hate u. It's just funny when igbos are shouting Biafra, south south shouting Niger Dr republic, your goons be screaming one Nigeria. I hope you enjoy your Nigeria when the rest of the south leaves u behind.

Like I said in the other thread. We are still enjoying your Niger Delta oil and using it to build our roads and railways.

When we are done feasting on the crude oil, you will understand that the Yorubas have history of being stubborn and you will see how this country will self-destruct by itself.

Even if you cry now till eternity it won’t stop the Yoruba glory. Even if you hate now till forever, your tribe can never be successful like the Yorubas. Our only allegiance is to our tribe and God almighty.

Why should you put your trust in us? What have you ever done for us that will make us give you loyalty?

Can you tell me one thing you’ve ever done for the Yorubas that made you think we should be loyal to your cause?

franchasng:
Tell the delusional Yorubas again let it sink into their ewedu infested brains!!

Even Middlebelt that joined force with them and Hausa-Fulanis to fight Biafra are regretting it today. Danjuma is regretting. Foolish Gowon is regretting. Yet evil loving Yorubas are celebrating their wickedness to mankind.

Very dangerous tribe called Yoruba!!

If your ancestors ever make the same mistake of fighting against the Yorubas, they will be faced with casualties that far exceed the Biafran war numbers.

your fathers will fall off their chairs then they hear the word Adekunle (scorpion) coz he made sure he exterminates anything that moves such that the federal side even feared him for his gallantry.

Awolowo the brainy made two moves, change the currency and issue a blockade. That two pen moves changed the course of the war forever.

What does this tell you about the Yorubas? We are slow to anger but when our mind is made up, we can actually destroy anything that moves.

No matter how much you hate us, we will always outshine you in all endeavors of life. No matter the metrics, the Yorubas will always be above you all.

franchasng:
The image you posted speak a lot.

Biafra got relief support from Gabon, Benin and some countries all through Gabon yes but no military support, you can go figure out.


But Egypt and Britain gave Nigeria full military support. In 1968, war are won mostly through air raids. It was British + Egypt air raids against Biafra soldiers and Biafra side that made Nigerian troops to even hold the war for long.

Go and ask, most Biafra people that died during the war were children, women and aged people who were killed by British air raids and starvation after Awolowo brought the currency change policy.

Just check the nations that backed Nigeria then and that alone should make you respect the Igbos and Biafra side the more.

Britain
USA
USSR (Russia)
Egypt

These were the world powers as at then and they gave Nigeria full military backup, yet you can't give Igbos the kudos for holding the war for 3 good years.


Biafra did what Germany did to the world!

Let me ask you a question. What ammunitions did the Biafrans use in the war?

Is it locally made or foreign made? Let’s start from there.

I don’t like coming out as a fool in my arguments, before you engage me, I have almost several hundreds of pages of happenings during the war with real-time reporting.

It’s just innately stupidity for anyone to think the Biafrans held off the country with just theirselves.

Can you answer my question first!

franchasng:
1.) Yorubas are supporters of injustice and evil! An average Yoruba man can lie that blue is black just to defend an evil he supports.

According to Yorubas and their media, Hausa-Fulanis never did any wrong against Igbos in 1966, it was Igbos that caused the war because a few young Igbo officers and officers from other tribes carried out a coup and killed some northern leaders and leaders from other tribes, therefore all Igbos deserve to be killed for that, and Ojukwu taking a step to stop the unnecessary killing of Igbos by Northerners while the then President Gowon turned blind eye like Buhari does today meant Ojukwu killed 3 million Igbos, all because Yoruba want to benefit from the crude oil found in Eastern Nigeria then.

2.) Yorubas are selfish and wicked; so long as it is not happening in their land, the rest of Nigeria can born while they party for all they care.


3.) An average Yoruba man is cunning, double faced, his support and trust faces where his stomach is.

Can you see what I’m saying? You are just following the bandwagon effect that is majorly induced by the Igbos on the Yorubas. You said we can lie blue and black just to defend an evil really?

The problem of most folks on here is that you don’t know nada about your history. In Nigeria history, the Yorubas are actually the ones that have always been in constant opposition to the Hausa/Fulanis in our dealings. The Yorubas are christened the “Stubborn Child” by the western press during the Awo/Azikwe era because we will never agree to Hausa domination.

The Igbos made the Hausas, they taught them how power is used, they are the ones that sharpened the teeth of the Hausa/Fulanis and they used it to bite the Igbos and the rest of Nigeria. (I can give you detailed reason for this).

Your second sentence is rubbish. The Igbos killed the premier of western region and some of our senior military officer but yet Adekunle Fajuyi still chose to end his life with Aguiyi Ironsi during the counter coup. That is honor of the Yorubas.

The Igbos killed our premier and top military officers in the coup and yet the Yorubas never initiated any pogrom against you like the northerners. Even after the war, the Yorubas gave back the belongings of the Igbos to them, something the Niger Delta people did not even do. Yet, the Yorubas is the devil!

Your point number 2 is rubbish. The Yoruba actually have the highest number of activists in Nigeria, we have activists that fought for the democracy you guys are enjoying now and any uprising in the SW is a major headache coz it always percolate through the fabrics of this nation. Can you name any of your tribesmen that have fought for something that will benefit Nigeria before? Please name one!

Your number 3 is just tantrums, it’s the same sentence most of you guys regurgitate like a damaged robot. Let me also help you add Lagos Ibadan express news to the show of shame.

Blackking98:
Lol if war should break out we akwa ibomites will never fight for Nigeria. We will fight alongside the igbos to achieve our own country which is Niger Delta or akwa cross republic. Another war in Nigeria will be like the break up of yuglosovia because the Niger Delta, igbos and middle belt will all fight together to achieve their own countries. I don't know about the yorubas tho, can't really be trusted. But one thing is sure that the south south can never fight for one Nigeria. We might not trust the igbos but the one thing I agree on is one Nigeria is shit. It'll be like the break up of yuglosovia or the soiviet union because many nation's will be born.

I think the Yorubas is fast becoming the Israel of Nigeria within enemies. Almost everybody hate us. The middle belt, Igbos, Hausa, Urhobo, Ijaw etc.

You guys all blame your inefficiency and problems on the Yorubas like we are your guardian or God made the Yorubas your police.

Bleep all of you MF’ers, we Yorubas don’t give a damn about your feelings. We are only answerable to our tribe and God.

If I ask you now what has the Yoruba done to harm your tribe that made you hate us this much, you won’t see a single thing to say!

jneutron4000:
You Igbos like to boost sha, do you think Biafra never had allies too

Don’t mind them. I don’t know why they sometimes exhibit the chimpanzee syndrome of chestbeating for nothing.

There are lot of mercenaries that fought on their side but they all like to wallow in their self induced lies that they fought the world alone. I LOL

A simple look on Wikipedia shows those on their side and those on the federal side. There are several images of white guys fighting alongside biafrans and the ammunitions used in the war are foreign made as against the self-delusion that they made their own weapon. Lol, the person that sold that story to them was actually on weed and he is lucky he got uninformed people to dish his propaganda to.

franchasng:
Igbos didn't fight alone, AkwaIbom, some part of Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, and Cross River fought with Igbos.


And if you a Yoruba boy think Niger Delta people will join Hausa-Fulanis and Yoruba to fight Igbo or Biafra, then you must be vary high on ewedu mixed with gbegiri.

Niger Delta remains the closest brother to Igbos, it is beyond crude oil, Igbos have crude oil too (both the explored ones and abandoned ones), its a blood issue, check the names of some Niger Delta people and you will see that there is blood relationship between Igbos and some so called Niger Delta people.

I wonder why Yorubas are so pained that we have Igbo bloods answering Niger Delta today, Yorubas are really a dangerous tribe, far more dangerous than Hausa-Fulanis honestly

Lol, so a Niger Delta man is also hating on the Yorubas now? What is the Yoruba sin against you?

Can you please State three of them?

franchasng:
You made some valid points that I won't argue.

Igbos have no dependable neighbor ally; that's true based on what some Niger Delta youths say online anyway, but who knows what the majority are saying in real life

Igbos have no mineral resources to give to European nations or for their own use

You are very wrong here. I want to inform you that Southeast have as much crude oil as Niger Delta, but Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba controlled Nigerian federal government have sabotaged Southeast since 1970 by abandoning all Southeast crude oil sites just to keep Southeast impoverished and to discourage Igbos from seeking for Biafra.

This was the reason they quickly carved out Southsouth states from Eastern Nigeria shortly after the civil war ended and called them Niger Delta to neutralize the Igbos and to discourage Igbos from seeking for Biafra because they want Igbos to be scared and to also believe that Southeast is landlocked and doesn't have crude oil.

But I want to tell you boldly that there are so many intentionally abandoned crude oil sites in Southeast. My friend who worked with Exxon as a Geologist before he relocated to the US as an exploration specialist, once told me that the conspiracy against Igbos is too much.

That his boss, a German engineer once told him that Nigerian government don't want them to explore some crude oil sites in Southeast region for reason he cannot tell.

An uncle who also worked with AGIP in PHC have told us similar story.

I was once in the sector but not in exploration so I know some things you don't know.

Nekede have crude oil fields unexplored. Ohaji Egbema too. There are many in Abia state. Anambra has some, even though some of them are still under dispute and FG really want Anambra to lose them.

As we speak, Adax Petroleum is doing a full crude exploration for decades now at Uguta, Imo state, which accounts for part of Nigeria's crude oil revenue today. Southeast have crude oil enough, stop allowing Nigerian government lies and propaganda against Igbos to be deceiving you.


Southeast is landlocked
Partially yes but not entirely true. River Niger can be opened. Uguta lake. Owerri-nta river too. These rivers and lakes have been studied by experts as part of Igbo people efforts ahead.

You should know that Igbos have professionals home and abroad in these fields. Igbos are not just the uneducated traders you see in Oshodi, Onitsha, Alaba, Kano, etc. Igbo have world class professionals in all fields of life. I am one of them and I will be so more than ready to offer my years of professional expertise to Biafra anytime no matter where I maybe at the time.


Igbos dominated Nigerian military then in 1967 but not same now

Yes you are correct. But if I tell you how many Igbo sons who are serving military personnel in US, and other countries willing to return to fight for Biafra, you will be shocked.

Beside that, most of the fearless soldiers who made up majority of Biafra soldiers in 1967 were not trained soldiers, most volunteered out of passion for Biafra freedom, some were conscripted into the Biafra army. Even women volunteered. We had Aba women driving Biafra armored tanks and they were never trained soldiers but volunteers.

One of my uncle who was a top officer (technician) working with Nigerian Railway Corporation in Lagos before the war broke out volunteered as Biafra Commandos who were trained in a hurry to go and attack Nigerian army batallions with bare hands and cruse local weapons to secure ammunition for Biafra.

He said they were as dangerous and angry like wild animals that roared and Nigerian soldiers with sophisticated British supplied weapons could not stand them but ran away and abandoned their weapon and base whenever they attacked.

He said they fought to die not minding death or risk, their mission was to die saving Biafra, so they fought ruthlessly without fear.


And war is won not just by holding sophisticated weapon alone but having the bravity and courage to use it against your enemy.

I can tell you for free that every Igbo man or boy you see anywhere is a raging lion burning of anger of the persecution by Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas, they are trained attack dogs ready to annihilate a full military base once provoked.

Look at Boko Haram, just because their courage and braveness is higher than that of most of Nigerian soldiers, whenever they attack, our soldiers flee and abandon their sophisticated weapons for them, that is what braveness can do for you in war.

So don't even go there, just don't pray for another civil war.


Southeast don't have jet fighters and bombers

So all the jet fighters Nigeria have now are in Lagos airforce base

Again, did you ever watched Nnamdi Kanu global tours before 2015 election

Did you ever watched when he visited Malaysia, European countries, etc

Did you hear how much Igbo sons were donating freely for the Biafra cause

Are you aware that IPOB members nationwide pay monthly dues

Igbo sons and daughters at home and abroad will contribute money to buy the best of weapons to prosecute any other civil war against Biafra, bookmark this thread.


The money they will raise will shock the world. It will surpass crude oil revenue because Igbos are so passionate about Biafra no matter who they are or where they live.


I repeat, another civil war in Nigeria will be a total mortal combat, that last battle.....it will be so bloody I doubt if many will survive it in Nigeria

So what is your conclusion?

You mean the Igbos will defeat a combination of Hausa & Yoruba with all their affiliated minorities?

This is exactly the same costly mistake Ojukwu made that led to the massacre of his people. Biafran war is not a conventional war in the sense, it’s just genocide.

Hear this, you will need the Yorubas on your side to fight a war in Nigeria and win. You should know what I’m saying coz the spirit of Awo is still alive in every sons and daughter of Oduduwa. That is brain and tactics.

War itself is not about gun and ammunitions alone, it’s about logistics. You need a faster route for your supplies so that you restock weapon when you’re out of them. You also need international route, so that you can mitigate against blockade by the federal side.

Also, if the war your envisaging make Yorubas your enemy, then you should know the several millions of Igbos in Yorubaland will be at risk with their resources. If the Yorubas go the savagery route like the Hausa/Fulani then we would have massacred thousands of you before you run back to the East.

Also the Yorubas have several international borders with our brothers in other border countries. For example we can negotiate with Benin government to use their domain as a source of supply. That means we’ve solved the issue of logistics in war.

Other things needed is international alliance, the Yoruba being almost 50/50% Muslim-Christian gives it a leverage on the international scene. With its wealth of professionals and international icons around the world it will be easier to solicit for support. Remember war is a game of alliance, even the almighty USA never goes to war alone. They always go in Union with their allies.

Ask yourself, what has changed since the Biafran war about the attitude and lifestyle of the Igbos? None. You have not learnt anything, you are still residing outside your region in your numbers, meaning you’re at risk. Your wealth is still more concentrated in other regions which means you can be bankrupt in a war. Your land is still landlocked and I’m not sure you can feed yourself in a war situation, which means the blockade policy can still apply to you.

Infact if I am a war general, I will just review the policies used against you guys in 1967-1970, and replay the same scene then boom I’ve solved 30% of the problem even before the start of the war

In conclusion, even if there is going to be war like you claimed, if the Igbos ever made the mistake of going to the said war with the Yorubas as their enemies, then the replay of 1967 will be repeated and this time more deadly with higher casualties.

megawealth01:
he might oooo those Nigerian get tough skin

The person if lucky will survive around 11 minutes from takeoff. The moment the aircraft passes 10,000 ft, he will definitely fall unconscious and dead due to the lack of oxygen.

Even if he has a thick skin and being protected by genies, by the time the aircraft reaches 20,000 ft, he would have died of hypothermia (body loses heat faster than it can produce heat).

So I don’t see the scientific justification to give credence to the fact that someone will survive that kind of situation.

socialmediaman:
Good point. I agree with you

Yes. The reason I also said that is because within each state of a particular region, there are different strength and weaknesses of each states and collectively resources can be pooled together.

For example, I am Yoruba:
Ondo- We have some crude oil here and land for cocoa
Oyo - We have vast land which will be utilized for farming and building industries
Lagos- We have the wealth concentrated here with the seaports for export
Osun - We have gold here and we also have land for farming
Ogun - We have the industrial estates. There is tiny oil here also with its international border to aid trade
Ekiti - We have the wealth of professors and also land for farming
Some of Kwara & Kogi - They can also contribute their quota

If we can pull all this together for the Yorubas, the advantage will be more as a region than being individual states. This same analogy van be applied for other tribes and region also.

socialmediaman:
Is it really fair that oil is drilled in a state, revenue is given to the Federal government to be distributed to other states according to population?

Why can’t every state who makes laws for themselves (sometimes unfriendly to revenue generation), hustle for revenue own their own?

Some states in Nigeria have tourism potentials, some have agricultural potentials, some have investment friendly environment to potentially generate revenue, while some have natural resources, but all are abandoned in order to share in the revenue generated from oil drilled from a few states

Isn’t it time Nigerians start discussing these seemingly ‘unfair’ economic structures and policies?

I think regionalism will be the best bet. Making states control their resources like you opined will be devastating because most states will collapse suddenly and the aftermath of the problem will not be easy to contain.

With regions, it will still be a lot easier coz there is no region without a viable state if you’ll divide them into Hausa/Fulani, Yorubas, Igbos, Middle belt, and South South people. This imply that they can still share resources within a region among themselves until each region can be able to stand on their own.

Neither is he a Christian.

No he is a Buddhist!

MelesZenawi:
This is exactly what we are arguing.

Since Amanda dey kolo or is suffering from kolomental then someone is trying to twist it that war is not bread and butter which I fully agree.

All I am trying to do is simply agree with you by been more fairer to religious divides of faith in matters of justice. So as to avoid further religious war.


Is our stand not simple?

Religious war from who? Is Gowon a Muslim to start with?

The religious war or animosity only exist in your region and the North. It was on this same Nairaland that Igbos are roasting BBC Igbo when they mistakenly greeted the Muslims Igbos happy Eid on their Facebook Page.

How you chose to insert religion to this issue of discourse beats my imagination coz it shows religious bigotry is ingrained in your DNA.

MelesZenawi:
We need to juxtapose all spoils of the war to achieve a viable Nation.

Don't you think so?

I don't think so. Coz I don't understand your statement to begin with. What are the spoils of war we are juxtaposing?

MelesZenawi:
Nice one been a Muslim.

Go and collect one fowl or cow from Ahmadu Bello's family or sultan of Sokoto.

Those who supports Gowon should have no reason to be against Sharia law in any state that has up to 45 Percent Muslims because those Muslims there can't be judged by common law.

They need to be judged under Islamic law ( Sharia)

Don't derail the thread with your tantrums like a kid.

Pay attention!

MelesZenawi:
I always know you not different from Ishaq Akintola....The Muslim chief in west.

Just that you pretend alot.

Yes I am a Muslim.

What do you expect in a war? Gowon should be distributing chocolates to the Biafrans?

When Ojukwu was declaring war, did he expect the federal side to be cooking salad for the Biafran soldiers?

I repeat both Gowon and Chiamanda don Kolomental finally!

Nawa o.

What do people expect in a war? An enemy sharing biscuit and Fanta?

War is meant to be brutal and full of sorrows. That’s why nations across the world are soliciting for peace instead of war.

Both Gowon and Chiamanda don kolomental.

saaron:
Believe it or not Buhari's sole reason for constesting presidential elections is to advance the cause of Islamic Sharia law all over Nigeria and Fulanization. Nothing more nothing less. He doesn't care about economy or wellbeing of all Nigerians especially Middle Belt and Southern Nigerian christians.

It’s not possible to implement shariah law nationally. No one can do that in Nigeria not even Buhari.

The issue bedeviling Nigerians is the constant paranoia and the attribution of too much powers to the Fulanis like we always do.

How exactly will Buhari implement Shariah on the south with the Christian population? Even we the Muslims in the south won’t accept Shariah law let alone the Christians.

No matter how I try to fathom it, it just dosen’t make sense and I don’t see any government that will forcefully implement shariah law or Islamization on the south. Not even during the military government let alone democratic regime.

This is just nonsense. The world is progressing while the North chose to remain backward in their thinking.

What is the effect of this policy? Will it stop fornication?

Well all man to himself. They are grown ups and they can decide how to live their life. In as much as they don’t bring the craze to the national scene, then everyone should be good.

I am not saying I want to go to war. War is a bad thing. We are just having an argument on what if!. No Isreal won't help us, but no country will support Nigeria either unlike before. The previous genocide was caused by massive draught. Also other countries supported Nigeria so so much. The border closure killed all. Then, they wanted our oil. But I doubt this now. Our oil is more like useless to them now. So if a war starts and with all odds even, Nigeria won't beat biafra. .now we have lot of big rich people who can persuade Cameroon to open their borders and we bring in food and ammunition from there. Now Trump is even in hate of Muslims. The way he loves Christians marvels everyone making Jerusalem capital even with all the warnings. I am not saying us will support us but the floor will be even this time. I don't know if we need Youruba. The last time we did, they lied and sold us. We can't trust them in critical hits like this.

I don’t even know what to say coz it might sound like I’m hating on the Igbos.

But you’re thinking is somehow not reflecting situation in real life scenario. If the Igbos ever dare go to war again against Nigeria by having the Yorubas as their enemies, then sorry is their case.

The world power don’t support war with a major deployment, it has to do with the purchasing power of the government (you need ammunitions) and how respective government can lobby international influence.

I can predict that Cameroon will never support the Biafran side going by the current political calculations (supporting you means granting ambazonia secession ) and that means you will be blocked again and the Nigerian side can still use the blockade as a weapon against you.

back then they were looking to reap from Nigeria. There oil. Gowon was an illiterate and they could easily manipulate him,I mean the UK. Ojukwu was from Oxford since he is learner, it would be harder, but now courtiers like us don't even need our oil anymore. You don't get it do you? Countries protect others for their selfish interest. But not anymore if they are now producing that same thing they where fighting for. You need to read more.

Stop gallivanting on the thread. If there is any war in Nigeria as it stands today, the Igbo needs the Yorubas on their side.

If you guys ever go to war in Nigeria without the support of the Yorubas like your ancestor mistake, the replay of 1967-1970 will repeat itself but now with more casualties.

You need to calm down, I repeat, you need the Yorubas on your side for any war in Nigeria or else you’re threading the path of genocide again.

I see one of you guys mentioned Israel will support you because you are Jews and I but marvel at how delusional a being can be. Bunch of jokers.

Even going for a football tournament, you must train for it, Ojukwu went to war with inadequate man power, food security, allies and weapons.
Who does that?

What pains me most is that by 1968, towns and cities like Enugu, Abakaliki, Nsukka, Awka, Onitsha, PH and the whole of old Rivers, all of the Akwa-Cross area had all been taken by federal forces yet he foolishly went on with the war knowing fully well that his Biafra is now surrounded

He knew he already lost the war and was just lost in his ego fights which explained why Azikwe severed ties with him.

Ojukwu at that point started using his people as means to garner public sympathy from the world powers. He is using the images of the malnourished children as a propagandist tool so the world powers can sanction Nigeria but most of them saw his game play.

How do you go to war without the necessary allies, without sufficient ammunition or means to purchase them, without plan for supply of food!!

All he relied on was mere propaganda and chest beating that landed his people in such mess.

Victoronah1:
oga you don't know history. Nigeria was even supported by France, UK and others. No one supported biafra. But it won't happen again now because now will have to be religious war. Christians vs Muslims

You are saying nonsense. I have many of the war happening and the Biafrans were supported by foreign forces.

Where are the Biafrans seeing the ammunitions? Oh you are part of the people that are believing you made your ammunitions yourself. The Biafrans enjoyed a lot of foreign aids coz of the atrocities committed against them during the war.

Which rubbish France supported Nigeria? Do you even know what you’re saying?

The thing broke the Biafran side back was the strategic decision the Nigerian government used in changing the Nigerian currency thereby stopping Ojukwu from purchasing ammunitions abroad with the money he seized from federal banks in Eastern region.

Just type France and Biafra on google and you will see how much France invested in Biafra during the war. They even sent mercenaries that fought on the Biafran side.

@the religious war, you meant the Muslim yorubas will pick up arm against the Christian Yorubas in your imaginary religious war? Seems you’re high on weed.

Area4Area:
Declare Biafra today and see if there'd be no war.
Why didn't Ojukwu think about food security before declaring Biafra

Don’t mind the useless guy. Why did Ojukwu go to war without a means to feed his populace.

During the American civil war, the union government implemented a blockade against the confederate side and it is called the “Union Blockade”.

The reason why the casualties from the blockade is not enormous was because the confederates side had a fertile soil and they have plan for foods so they were able to sustain their soldiers and civilians.

Ojukwu went to war without a plan to feed his populace.

Which sane person go to war and depend on his enemy to feed his people?
