@Wolfslair, if truly you are a babe(F),i must confess i love you so much. your write ups are killing me and sending the enemies of kanu to their earlier graves then the survivors develop HBP.

You are always direct to your points and they are outstanding.

Keep it up.

E pain am,kikikikiki. but come to think of it i live a better life than you, atleast i work in a serene environment and earn a good pay and still support the marginalized but you......i laugh in swahili, atleast if you are in PH you must patronise my family investment before you earn a good living in Rivers state take it or leave it.

coolscott:
[size=13pt]When the bill is passed, you say, it will be a crime for the cattle herders to graze cattle anywhere else.

But Wait a minute. I thought it was already a crime for people to kill other innocent people, unprovoked.

Isn't it the right thing to clamp down on the known/identified culprits?

Okay, some gun-carrying herdsmen don't have respect for our already existing laws and you think creating a grazing bill will suddenly make them start respecting the already existing laws which makes killing people a crime?

If these people are rustlers and not Fulani herdsmen, then we do not need any new laws or bills to protect the honest Fulani herdsmen. We just need to enforce the existing laws that has made what these killers have done a crime and then we will be truly one sane Nigeria, knowing that when crimes are committed, and the perpetrators are known, they will be made to pay for it.

Some killers kill around and instead of bringing them to book you say "we therefore now have to allocate lands to the Fulani in every state of the federation".

How sensible.[/size]

Emancipation

@Coolscott, don't mind @ Joborskill he knows vividly what he is trying to achieve by writing such post but all i know is that this so-called grazing bill is dead on arrival because its indirectly telling the fulani's to have a stronghold and claim to be indigens wherever apportioned to them because you can hardly control them like the real Hausa's and this will lead to indirect islamisation of the people living in that area because fulani's believe in Utman dan fodio approach so much by violently making people believe in their religion or they kill the person.

Haven't you asked yourself how fulani's came into jos, ask Plateau people they will tell you how fulani"s entered and as i type they dominate more than one LGA(they determine the who rules in that LGA),its same way of alloting a portion of land to them in plateau brought about them ransacking,killing and maiming a whole village. today they are incharge of that LGA in plateau State.

Ikedife(The pagan/atheist)is an imposter,he has been in Bilie Human Right with BVI as their radio station but none has been achieved for over 8 years they have operated rather what they did is to take Biafra against nigeria case to Imo state Federal High which the outcome was as good as nothing.

Then,Imagine the international connected nnamdi kanu being compared with a man that compromise with any amount given to him by any government in power.

I repeat their is no confusion in IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu remain the director of IPOB, Uche mmefor(deputy director),Dr Clifford iroanya and Barr Emma mmezu(Spokesperson IPOB USA/Uk) and Emeka asiegbu, so anything outside these names you are on your own.

Ikedife and co are imposters.

God bless nnamdi kanu.

joborskill:
have u ever heard of any one dying as a result of eating fulani cattle? same cannot be said of several igbo traders killings people with fake drugs

Yes, don't be ignorant. i guess you are a graduate for crying out loud so you wait until you hear cattle diseases killing people like lassa fever thats when you start preventive/curing measures ba?

That's shows how prepared your government are to solve the inadequacies the so-called PDP government inflicted on Nigerians as your party accuses because you people doesn't have solution but to apportion blame. please stop the heck blame and start working conclusively not selectively.

Joborskill,alot has to be done about the cattle and grazing business.

Whether Haters like it or not Nnamdi Kanu has the biggest supporters/fans in Nigeria(If you doubt get yourself arrested by the FG and see how many people that will protest willingly withoutyou or your people paying through their nose).

If you think otherwise have issue with FG and know how many people that will support you.

Check out Saraki even with the whole wealth the rented crowd where just so scanty that you know something is actually wrong because whatever those guys are doing its just for the "Benjamins"

GOD bless Nnamdi Kanu, the speaker of truth the way it is. "Truth hurts the guilty and make the innocent smile unconditionally. Quote from macluvph1")

joborskill:
We know of igbos that are fond of importing and selling fake drugs which has led to deaths of many. Should we now conclude that the igbo traders be sent back to the east because of the bad ones?

And who told you that the cattle bought from fulani men are not infected with trypanosomiasis or other diseases. is it because our government system is not working or is ineffectual/ineffective if not vertenary doctors need to examine the cows before we buy them.

Then as for the so called fake drugs you were emphasizing about Igbo's, didn't kwakwanso confiscate and close down their shops and they were forced to relocate to the east but the worst of it all is that at a point Kwakwanso started witch hunting both the genuine drug dealers and the fake ones, that made so many southerners to go back home.

Then common sense is the drugs sellers are on their own na u find them go, but Fulani herdsmen na dem find you come your house even kill,rape and kidnap u join if you are alive. the difference is you can control the act of igbo man by not patrosing him but you can't control that of fulani.

joborskill:
You are a selfish man. If the fulani's were igbo traders would u support a bill restricting them to the east alone? If the fulani's cant raise their cattle in any part of the country, its like trampling upon their human rights. Cattle rearing is their business and they have the right to live and do business any where in Nigeria. The FG has made a plan to settle them in specific grazing areas across the country so there will be peace

Honestly, If igbo man kill,rape and kidnap your people send them back to the east but igbos are peace loving people so there is no need sending them back home because they have done nothing rather its the same fulani's/hausa's that sets their shops on fire in the north when they have done nothing to them.

Joborskill i noticed and realize that you and Buhari are back to government to threaten the existence of Igbo the peace loving people and we ikwerre's but God pass all of una.

PassingShot:
That will mean they're not entitled to establish their business in any part of Nigeria they wish to.

It's just like asking all Igbo traders to only take their wares to other part of the country when they need to sell them. Not owning shops, factories and offices in those other parts.

Wake up to reality joor.

@ Mr Passingshot, how many igbo traders have killed, raped and kidnapped their host communities that made the nation to debate and question their operations in that area. rather what the igbos get are their host communities burning down their shops,threating them with lagoon and so on. honestly atimes i wonder whether you people think from your anus.

IF Fulani's were peaceful nobody will remember them, what of the hausa's doing suya business or michacha here in PH have you heard people pursuing them to go back to the North, "NO" will definitely be your answer.all you need is common sense.

joborskill:
Amen. so far it will stop killings of innocent people. My father no carry land come from heaven. The FG owns the land. simple

I seeeee, you are among the guys telling Mr president to play on with his dictatorial administration and stance on national issues despite it being anti democracy.

Like i said, Joborskill your whole state should be dedicated and reserved to/for Fulani's(If you are not already one of them)to graze because no matter THE HECTARES OF LAND ALLOTED TO FULANI THEY CAN NEVER DESIST FROM ROAMING ABOUT AND CROSSING BEYOND THE LAND GIVEN TO THEM,they are NORMADS in nature. If they can trek from North to south is it to reserve a land in the south will make them not over step their boundaries..... i smell hidden agenda.

Even giving them land is like telling them that they are indigens of that state, i foresee indirect grabing of peoples land by fulani men in some years to come.

PassingShot:
OP, you've made good points and I wholeheartedly support the grazing bill.

Those who oppose the bill, can you please suggest an alternative to ending the continuous clashes between the farmers and Fulani herdsmen?

What the govt is attempting to do is what is obtainable in developed countries of the world. You do not see their cattle farmers with their cattle on the street.

The alternative is simple, they should graze in their states and transport the cattles down to the south via trucks and trailers as they do whenever they are bringing cattles into PH.

@ Joborskill, i don't blame you about these your write up but i blame the people that brought you forth. I pray the Federal govt use your own father's land or where you have your mega investment(If you have any)for the grazing in your own state.

God bless Nnamdi Kanu for enlightening us, imagine the black man way of thinking and journalism.

The OP didn't even do comprehensive research and he is here talking pooo, a typical ibad......expressway media and journalism brought ups.

DSS(Daura Secret Service) and false accusation are like 5 and 6.

In DSS issue IPOB is covered with psalm 91.

ogmaskman:
[/b]

The last time I checked all the igbo senators are solidly behind a Yoruba (saraki) senator. Same goes for the house of reps where all the igbo rep members threw their weights behind a certain yakubu dogara.

My dear, is it not clear to you now that this whole hatred thing is a carefully crafted bait by the political class to continually keep the pple where they want them?

The political philosophy of the igbo man is not different from other regions.

I am yet to see any significant difference realy, other than the usual fairy tale our fathers used to tell us, which some of us have taking too far.

Whoever said the igbo man will not peddle drugs like his Yoruba or Hausa brother because he now answers biafra.
Honestly, the arguments put forward for biafra is lame. At least pro biafra activists should be able to put forward measurable indicators as reasons for their wanting out. Not this we hate ourselves, we can't stay as one, they are killing us, in biafra nobody can steal our money. C'mon guys, we can do better..

In all this your above write up, the answer is simple"FRUSTRATION" since the civil war ended every igbo man(including south south)started looking for every single way to survive because of the harsh policies meted to them by the hausa/fulani/yoruba. our chidren will graduate from school no work because the so called past leaders of Nigeria(hausa/fulani/yoruba)never made policies to create employment rather some regions(north and south west)were favored through quota system,favouritsm et al but in the Restoration of Biafra it won't be same because most of these jobs being occupied by hausa/fulani/yoruba in the embassies,ministries,aviation etc and even the force jobs will be for biafrans and most of the oil companies operating in biafra territories will build their head office in biafra land and by so doing it will create more jobs. other investments will come up in form of technologies because our brothers outside the country will come home to invest on what they have learnt so far which will help make biafra superb.

My brother alot of good things will befall biafra if its restored because we are hardworking and we won't be encouraged any longer to leave our land(God given country Biafra) because no more victimization and oppression even though their will be little of it because we are all human but it will be controlled because we believe on merits.


Also the Nigerian government policies that hindered development in the old eastern region forced our brothers down here to move abroad to go and look for greener pastures since at home they are not carried along and these resulted to some of them engaging into crime(drugs)because some of those countries they ran to secure a well paying job are still having some employment issues based on their population not self inflicted like Nigeria,so they will satisfy their citizen first before foreigners.

ONE QUESTION for you, why didn't the igbos come out to build the Ogbunigwe for Nigeria when IBB told them to do so.......,Every igbo man knows what they want until that is restored that you will see the replica of singapore and china mixed together in Africa.

Finally for today,Imagine we are referred to as INFIDEL in the north. wallahi may thunder strike and punish Luggard in his grave million folds.

ogmaskman:
My brother I replied you oo. Or maybe I thought I did. Check your mention and you ill see that u have not replied my last msg. I have been waiting for days.
I like the way you pick your points in a discuss.
Lemme start by saying that no country the world over is isolatedt from interests within and without. biafra inclusive if and when it eventually comes. What you have said still revolves around oppression and playing the victim card. I asked you a question befor and I ask again, will you opt out of a marriage for the mere fact that you perceive oppression or you try to make it work in the first place. If the later is you answer. I ask again 'what have you done to make it work'?

@Ogmaskman, check my quotes on your write up or your mention if you are honest to yourself you will see the points i dished out for you to digest and contemplate on.

but i can still summarise what i wrote in details here, you said whether i will opt out of a marriage for the mere fact youperceived oppression and my ANSWER is this:

Was there really a marriage between the so called husband and wife?
Was the so called marriage mutually agreed on?
In the so called zoo(Nigeria) marriage who plays the role of humble guy/gentleman?
In the whole zoo called Nigeria who played the role of more Nigerian?
In this zoo called nigeria who is more patriotic?

The above answers are the "Igbos" and their south southern brothers(Nigerian created cardinal point region to achieve divide and rule),Igbo man is everywhere building and taking every part of Nigeria as his home which in return they either be killed or threatened to be sent to lagoon if they ever air their political point of view on who to vote or be voted for.

What if the igbos threatened the yorubas in south east and south south that if they voted for buhari they will be sent to lagoon hope it will be welcomed.

Recently igbo peoples shops were set ablaze in kano and you will tell me that it wasn't intentional or is it the fulani killing spree especially the one that happened in Awgu Enugu and when the owners of the land retaliated the hausa/fulani command from above locked them up which they spent up to two weeks in prison.

Then, the answer to third question is who is more patriotic to the so called zoo called Nigeria its the Igbos because despite them being killed in what they forced them to be part of(nigeria)they still thrive to survive and not cause catastrophy, even when their brothers were killed during the peaceful protest of the detained leader of IPOB still they were guided within the ambits of the law not to resort to violence. but check if its in the North or South west what the outcome will be(the answer is simple"VIOLENCE". honestly we are tired of the marriage that the people of the old easter region weren't even consulted at the initial stage to be part of,so their was no marriage at all but if you insist that their was then prove it with papers and also know that the so called marriage had an expiry date(Quoting from Lord lugards Amalgamation papers) which from that paper Nigeria has expired.

My brother the marriage isn't working despite everything the old eastern region have done,so now we have decided to opt out and nothing will stop this ideology like i said even 4 years old child is aware of the injustice of Biafra civil war in the old eastern region.


When marriage isn't working you can divorce mutually without fight but the grudges will still remain till eternity.
Take these points as lunch and digest till my opinion is needed again.

ogmaskman:
You missed the point. Most of the govs and legislators were imposed thru fraudulent primaries by powerful local lords and not huasa fulani or Abuja politicians.

Ikpeazu is a making of ochendo, obiano is a making of GEJ and obi, ifeanyi of ebonyi was ayims candidate even Sullivan chime is not spared in the power play. If you think biafra will be free of the Nigerian political philosophy? In your words "old wine in New bottle'.

These men you called local lords how did they come about?

In one of my write ups to you earlier i told you categorically that you can trace their emergence into politics through northern/yoruba political lords that imposed them us,the so-called Ikpeazu was imposed on abians through T A Orji and TA Orji was imposed on Abians by Orji Uzor kalu and orji Uzor kalu was imposed to the east by the yoruba/hausa/fulani politicians that wanted to be relevant wherever they go once PDP party(now in APC because they were aggrieved)is concern.

Then as for peter Obi he came in through court decision but tracing back i can tell you in 2003 that Anambrarians really voted for him but the powerful yoruba/hausa/fulani politicians in Abuja(OBJ and co)imposed Chris ngige by rigging him into Anambra state house which he was later booted out by the court even OBJ tried that with Andy uba which court also booted him out just imagine the type/crop of politicians this so called abuja(yoruba/hausa/fulani)are imposing on us all through. peter obi's decision/choice for governor(willie obiano) on Anambrarians is the best so far for his people just that he is killing IPOB(i know its not his wish willingly but trying to impress his northern pay master so that his allocation wont be tampered,thats why we really need to separate from these never do well yoruba/hausa/fulani politicians in Abuja) but for good governance i remove my cap for him cos Anambra people are seriously witnessing development and growth as well.

As for david umahi of ebonyi state he was imposed by anyim pius without the consent of the former governor martin elechi.but one question i will also ask you is this,did Anyim Pius secure the ticket of his contituency people in Ebonyi to represent them in Abuja just like that, NOO is the answer its the same connection of the yoruba/hausa fulani godfatherism that exchanged hands before he got(PDP)ticket to represent his people if not, from the onset Afikpo people know the right person to represent them in Abuja not anyim pius.

Then as for GEJ, who imposed him on the so called zoo called Nigeria is it not OBJ the former president then his incompetency and inexperience during his regime should be blamed on this so called yoruba/hausa/fulani God fatherism crippling Nigeria. because i remebered vividly he wasn't the best performing governor from this our south south(ex governor donald duke was better than jonayhan who never achieved anything for bayelsa just that he is a humble man and a willing tool for the yoruba/hausa/fulani to protect their selfish interest which they used and dumped him).

Then i smell something fishy here you never replied my last quote to your moniker but you rushed to come and defend irunooboo are you sure you are not birds of same feather(my opinion though no bad belle ooo). if Irunoooboo is fit she should come and defend Nigeria not hiding people's quote and writing unreasonably.

let me stop here to comment later when needed.

God please help us and come to our rescue.

irunooboo:
Ask your leaders what they achieved in their respective states. At least they all recieve allocations and IGR's. They are the one's answerable to you. I am not a politician. You never voted for me. Ask rochas, ikpeazu and other igbo leaders

lol, what a blunt way to answer simple question but let me leave you because if you have concrete facts i think you should have come up with a comprehensive answer.

Anyway,the last time i checked for you to be a governor here in south south or south east you must be highly connected with the Northern/South Western politicians before you get the ticket to contest either in their PDP or APC party here in south south or our south eastern brothers which shows both parties have nothing to offer.

@ Irunooboo, Things are not working and will never work in this damn country because its still same old wine(PDP)re packaged in new wine(APC)so what is our problem in the late 60's, 70's and 80's is still the problem now so are you telling it will be solved in the next 4-8 years its a blatant LIE and you know that.

We need to separate and fight for our different destiny, yoruba is a great tribe to watch out that will compete strongly with the old eastern region in terms of development.

Will stop here till something calls for my opinion again.

A simple question for you @ Irunooboo, i have read your anti biafra write ups for a very longtime and i decided to ask you this simple question. WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED AS "ONE NIGERIA".

Once you answer this question, you are good to go with your anti biafra stance.

and mind you, you arent a match to the technicalities of IPOB. you are just a single entity.

Good one from FFK

ogmaskman:
Honestly I enjoyed reading your post. But things are not as easy as they sound. For a biafra to materialize, there must first be unity of purpose. I say again, your reason for rejecting Nigeria is still based on marginalization and resource control.
To the extent that we have control (politically and otherwise) what have we done to improve the lot of our people. What makes you think that the man (our politicians) will change overnight because he now answers biafran. or will they be giving the Rowlings treatment?
Lemme give you a few examples to buttress my point. In the east today if a Catholic becomes the gov it is expected that the deputy should be of the Anglican stock. Sometime ago an anambra lady married to Abia man was made chief judge of Abia state. The pple of Abia rejected her for the silly reason she was not born abian. No recourse to qualification, entitlement, professionalism and humanity. In rivers here, it is a case of another ikwere again. Another upland man again.
I tell you all of this will still be active sign posts in the biafra you intend to build. As you must be aware by now, am not against a biafran republic but simply saying it's no use jumping from fry pan to fire. Why not fix the fry pan bfor you put it on fire to at least reduce associated damage.
It will suprise you to know that there are Christians in the north just as we have Muslims in the east. If a marriage does not work do you just bail out, or you put in effort to mend fences. As a pple, have the biafrans done enough? Have their representatives seen it fit to work towards a better tomoro? At a point the entire east was tied to the building of the second Niger bridge as if that will soak all the problems plaguing the east.
I feel very strongly that we are placing the cart befor the horse.

In the eastern region christianity has gone far but if the people that brought christianity(British)to us has the mind to hand us over to the islamic oligarch and left us(the southerners that accepted the christianity and its teachings with the bible)to wallow in marginalization, i think that is one of the highest hypocrisy.

Therefore coming to your points, as for the example you said about a woman marrying an abia man and her not being accepted as the chief judge in abia state is a concern nnamdi kanu has addressed on radio biafra how to tackle it which i will state when the needs comes up.i think south easterners started leaving the life of the survival of the fittest after the civil war because they were left with nothig to start a new life with.

meanwhile,that your point you said if marriage don't work will do you just bail out or put in effort to make it work. i will tell you categorically before the call for the Biafra restoration issue came up strongly in 2013 by Nnamdi kanu tell me any tribe in Nigeria that is more Nigerian and patriotic than the igbo man, you are in Rivers atleast you will know my people(Ikwerre)don't travel alot we believe so much in this our state but an igbo man will go to sokoto and build heaven and earth taking that place as his home the same in south west but what did they get in return as their reward its either they will send them to lagoon or they will burn and raze down their(south east and south south shops in the north) shops. if the westernern world draw cartoon of mohammed in Denmark the northerners will take to the street to protest and riot and this results to them killing the south easterners and south southerners. walahi this is too much. then an average hausa/fulani/yoruba hardly or not even build a residential house in the east not to talk of factory,the hausa only come to the eastern region with their mat and always sleep in front of peoples shops and they never believe in unity,building of houses in old eastern region is haram apart from two to three politicians of the northern oligarch where else can you find their investments in the old eastern region(and the few ones that invested is in oil and gas sector because they the northerners and south westerners owns 83% of oil wells in Nigeria)and the so called businesses owned by the notherners are only in the oil sector.

My man the only ONE Nigeria i see is in the oil sector,just go to Onne and see things for yourself the ratio of employment there of hausa/fulani/yoruba and old eastern region workers there are 75:25 is this the fairness we talk about.

Dont worry next time i will dig up issues on custom,military, civil service et al emplyment for you to see(A case study is the leaked secret recruitment CBN did, imagine people of old eastern region weren't up to 7 out of the 91 list of names i saw).

I just want to tell you that when marriage isn't working despite giving in all you get the best way is to head to court and divorce atleast when you are divorcing your wife there won't be fight but there will be grudges and that's exactly whats playing out now.

ogmaskman:
The godfather thing is everywhere bro, even in the north. Examples abound. I doubt if there is any politician who sailed to power on his own. Same will happen in biafra. It is a way of life and there is little or nothing we can do.
Lemme ask you, why do you think the politicians in biafra will be different from What we have now? Do you think the rivers, delta, Edo, akwa ibom and cross river man will allow the igbo man full control of the oil resource? How will biafra eliminate marginalization especially of the minority?

You see, my brother, it is neither here nor there. What we need as a people is fairness to all. Fairness in this instance does not translate to boundaries. All we need to advocate for is the need and conscious commitment to building stronger institutions and not powerful individuals as is the case today.

Btw, I think you are married to my sister.

Yes politcians are bound to have god fathers but it depends on individual,eg Peter obi has a god father in ojukwu then but Ojukwu played an advisory role not like the scavengers we have in Nigeria that plays godfatherism for their own selfish interest if not for ojukwu's action today Anambra state would have been another free meal from what emeka offor started through his Abuja connections(Hausa/fulani/yoruba oligarchs).

Secondly,if you have listened to Nnamdi kanu vividly without sentiments he preached independence of each state in the biafra region,he wants to make biafran federal government to be weak so that the excessive money the politicians spend in campagn will dissappear and the federal government will be less attractive. he(Nnamdi kanu)stated that Aba man or Igbanke man should not rely on ijaw man oil to survive that all hands must be on desk to make sure we source out our talents for development, then by so doing nothing will be like minority and everybody will be carried along.

meanwhile nigeria is not a country you preach for fairness because to the present government they believe that without our south-south vote and south east vote that they will still clinge to power so we dont see anything like fairness coming soon but if they decide to change we will still eat whatever benefit that comes with it and still reject them(memories of Ken sar wiwa,isaac adaka boro et al are still in our mind)because they(North and south west)really dont want us near the corridors of power that's why they tagged our brother infidel and sabotaged his government anyway i blamed him for his inexperience.

Finally,Yes i am married to your sister(my lovely Edo wife)and to be honest with you initially my house is a no go area for both of us in Biafra issue but i gave her my reasons for supporting Biafra and my neutrality during election made her to be convinced the more. but what changed my wife's opinion to biafra that made her an ardent Biafra follower was when i showed her the various youtube video of how nnamdi kanu was brought to court with handcuffs and also the youtube video of dasuki who spent money meant to be used to fight terrorism was brought to court like a king, i also played the youtube video of kabiru sokoto and the abba moro. honestly the video got her mad and she started singing biafra praise even in her place of work because biafra is for the oppresed in the Nigeria society.

But brother before i converted my wife some things played out at a point my wife was consistently giving me yam cos i hate yam so much and its more especially anytime i come home with Biafra gist(she will go to the fridge and bring out that yam she has cooked since and put in the freezer,she will steam it and give me even though she prepared a new soup that day.she doesn't care rather na yam we go chop that night)then secondly no night show for bed for that night(you know naaaa.....). also at a point she also gave me this reason that she won't support biafra because if it comes i will send her home cos of where she comes from and pick an ikwerre girl, i smiled and told her to me she is my first Biafra of physical then the restoration of Biafra is the accomplishment. the smile and hug i got that night has no bounds.

ogmaskman:
We may not have achieved much but the blame should not go to one region. Every region in Nigeria have had one form of representation or the other at the centre. The question is 'what did they do for their region'?
Take the last administration for example, the igbos were adequately represented. From Secretary to govt to Senate deputy president to house of reps deputy speaker to minister, they were fully represented. Did their presence in govt change the face of igbo land? NO it ddnt. Nigeria may not have served the purpose Of a few but it has served the purpose of many. I tell you brother, we are better of as Nigeria than small porkets of countries.

Did i hear you say represent,NO for the past 16 years of democracy what we have in the south eastern region as our representatives are selected thieves(from Abuja connection with the hausa/fulani/yoruba oligarch)and not elected representatives,lets use Abia state as a case study Orji uzor kalu and his Abuja connection got the PDP ticket for him after his tenure he then imposed Theodre Orji on Abians(you all know the rest) then Anambra in the case of Mbadinuju and Emeka Ofor, Chris Ngige and Chris Uba,Andy Uba and Obasanjo, Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu(INEC Chairman) check out all these names and tell me whether these names are actually what the old eastern region needs as their representation. thats why they find solace in Biafra because it won't be business as usual.

Then check out this state(Anambra) in old eastern that peoples choice(Peter Obi) were considered and see the development they have attained. so if you need more i can still put up many points to tell you we can be better off as a divided country than remaining as one Nigeria.

The worst is that after these so called criminals imposed as our governors and representatives finish their tenure they will either remain in Abuja or travel Abroad because they know they only satisfied the interest of their god fathers and not their people.

Check out Ikedi Ohakim that have never lived in Imo state for more than one month before was once the governor of Imo state through Abuja connection.

My brother the better solution is this, we should divide and the central government should be nearer to us because unity in diversity can only work in western world not in a black man's world because every blackman's heart is filled with tribalism,nepotism and favoritism. so to avoid these things we need to disintegrate.

Brother sorry for the delay. This pple ban me like say tomoro nor dey. I just finish serving my ban.

Good to know you are in phc. I am also in phc. Maybe we can see and familiarise better. I will send my phone number to your email. Tnx.

Ogmaskman, are you sure you were banned because you don't support Biafra and you write eloquently trying to be conscious of your write ups,so why the ban....., first explain to me why you were banned then from there we can progress.

But still waiting for you to answer my question of what we have achieved as ONE NIGERIA.

My point is this, the problems which have made us unable to achieve anything as one Nigeria, those problems will not be solved by splitting, we would only add more complications to our problems. The grass always looks greener on the other side though, but this is just my opinion based on the way I see things; I may be wrong, and you may also be wrong. Another thing I would like to point out is the haste with which the entire secession plan is being processed, I think this recent widespread secession campaign is driven purely by emotions and without deep thought; emotions of anger fuelled by last year's election. No reasonably progressive decision can be made out of emotions.

Obailala,am still waiting for what we have achieved as one Nigeria because what you have said isn't good enough to keep us as one.

I have thought over and over again and realised that Africa need to be decolonized because a lot of people with different ideas can't agree and this alone hinders development but when like minds(if we divide)think together the probability of development to non development is 85:15

I think we will definitely do better as a divided country (if the old eastern region can contribute money to build the Sam Mbakwe airport in Owerri they will do more as a separate nation from Nigeria) from Nigeria, it always looked as if the old south easterners doesn't love themselves the answer is NO they love themselves just that the harsh economic survival for them after the civil war made them to look as if they hate themselves.

I put it to you, give easterners there own country today and watch out what happens in the next 4 years.

obailala:
The only point I really agree with you 100% is the singular cankerworm called quota system which has held Nigeria backwards for decades. If there is any form of division I would support, it is a north-south divide or pure regionalism and nothing more. Developed and advanced nations across the world are looking for ways to come together and that is for a good reason, however in Africa, all we talk of is division.

I can assure you that the other issue you mentioned such as the government being close to the people etc will not bring about any positive change. I could dare you to point out any society which really got better after division in Africa. We've divided states, we've divided LGAs countless times, but can we really point out how that helped us to get better governance?.... The best governors we've ever had since Nigerian history (e.g. Dee Sam Mbakwe) led the mega states of Imo and Abia combined. Can we say we've had better leadership since those states were divided?.... I'm sure we all know the answer to that to be a capital NO.

The point is simple, there's a serious dearth of leadership, people get to power for the very wrong reasons and the true patriotic and visionary people will never be allowed by even you and I to get into power for some of the most flimsy reasons. No amount of division can solve the problem of leadership deficit.

Obailala i see nothing can convince you even if i make more points but can you vividly tell me what we have achieved as a one NIGERIA.
