Pls what is biafra?
Name of an animal,place or thing?
The name sounds very primitive,i must confess.

At least you are in the mood of confessing. Surely you would confess that a white lepa woman gave you and your mumsi your identity, being as black as you are, or in other words a Ni.gga, from the N.igga area, hence Nigeria.

No wonder there is not constant light for una village.
Guess who gave England her name? Guess who gave Nigeria her name, even put her together?

Where's the common sense

GodsMercy1:
God bless Nigeria. We pray for someone like him (Akpabio) or even better than him someday in Delta State.
Please check my signature too. Thanks.

But the Delta gov bagged the best governor aware last week abi?

Shirley07:
See who's talking? The SS don't even trust the ibos to begin with because every man and his dogs knows ibos are two timing greedy b!tbh.

I think you need to go and read your book Yoruba boy.

The truth is many Yoruba feel their own leaders truly betrayed the Southern Coalition that for the last 16 years actually made some progress. But of course, like during Awolowo days,Tinubu and his click saw an opportunity and they seized it, even if it meant electing a grandpa coupist to come in when there were very able and tested guys that would have taken us into the future.

And she should also add that no child should be forced to vote in a national election when they should be in school sef

And that sharia law has no place in a secular society called Nigeria

The problem is not the agitation for Biafra, that is not anything new. The problem with Ohaneze is they can't be promoting a brand new soccer stadium when the one they have and own is already dilapidated and on fire.

I would have loved for Ohaneze to really grow balls and have a real backbone by calling on the ousting of Theo Orji and the 80 year old Elechi (among others) from government house siiiiiiiiiiiiince!!!

I would have loved for major protest in each Eastern state capital and recalls on the sinators/legislooters/ for not doing anything for some 4, 8, even 16 years, led by Ohaneze Ndigbo.

So instead, they were there and are still there asking for additional state like a bunch of primary school children, when the states they already have are run down, have the worse animals known to man parading as governors, no international airport, stadium, modern university, highway system, business district, etc., yet are calling for Biafra if Buhari this and that.

Buhari who stopped their progress in a coup in 1983, and now is back in his old age pretending to be reformed.

Nonsense

@ OP.

I commend you for raising up great points, but honestly, there are so many solutions that have been advised time and time again, both at state/ regional/tribal levels to national levels. There have even been two quasi national conferences in which further great proposals (apart from Aburi in 1966) were made during this 16 years of "democracy"

But guess what? They were all shelved, and nothing happened.

Casual observations:

Look at the last election that had to be postponed and even the little mallam juniors voting in broad day light for Buhari- or is it in Abia that obvious rigging denied Apga senatorial and even governor position for the worse party (PDP) in the state?

We have been militarized and know nothing but mediocre ways of doing things, as long as we survive and sit at high table for peers to see, we are contempt.

From the slave name Nigeria, to the acceptance of an old grandpa militant as presido-elect, you can't be surprised.

DelticStephEn:
haba,Y u dey vex?
I wasn't trying to insult u bro.I
what I said is d truth.

Me, Vex, lie lie. What you said wasn't much at all. Next topic

No embassy, just an association as one poster stated. Nevertheless good awareness but still no real coordination

Was this guy even supposed to be governor? Why the SC ruled for Omehia to comot in 2007 still is unclear, but then again, they saw what we are seeing now, a weak East and the maintenance of the status quo

DelticStephEn:
your Reasoningz & points are. TOO POOR.
TRY something else

your reasoninGZ & points are. POINTLESS

Please spell check

It should not only be hell, but before them the guillotine, starting with Theo Orji, and then Gbenga Daniel.

Akokwa123:
It simply shows you are not from imo state.yes okorocha Is from ideato north and the house is in mbieri but who said you can not own a house in owerri or owerri suburb.for your information.the compound he built that house was owned by SPIBAT construction and the were prefabricated houses and was bought over by Iwuanyanyu rochas bought the place when he became Governor (he could not before he became governor anyway.simply could not afford it then)he then demolished it and built so many things I there just like he demolished he house in ogboko his home town and build another one.so try to be better informed before challenging people that may have their facts right.

Blah Blah Blah. Imo state is not any better today than when Udenwa was ruling. This is a fact and is a shame

nduchucks:
I have a hypothetical question:
Lets suppose biafra becomes a country, given that there are more Igbos living in the Northern region alone than in the SE & SS regions combined, if all of a sudden visas become a requirement which requires Igbos to return to biafra, will biafra be strong and stable enough to assimilate all the returnees? Now suppose Akiolu and SW region also demand that Igbos resident in the area return to biafra, where will all the returnees fit into the biafra landscape?
make una think this thing through, because I no think say biafra big enough for our people to return dia o. Na bloodbath with instruments of war like machete, clubs and shakabula go ensue.
We love our Igbo brothers, abeg make una stay. Nigeria needs your ingenious wits, not to talk of una fine babes. My Igbo peeps, Nigeria mpka gi, just as nduchucks mkpa ihunanya

The issue is not land mass or global warming or anything like that. The problem really is the current leadership in Eastern Nigeria, that with the exception of Akwa Ibom, is a hot mess, with thugs, looters, and criminals parading as governors and senators.

sethken:
OBJ freed Nigeria from debt indeed. That is some BS propaganda. Why didn't OBJ use the so called surplus in the National reserve to revamp Nigeria power situation? OBJ left Nigerians in the dark, he worsened our power situation. Why didn't OBJ use that money to improve our infrastructure? Why didn't OBJ construct the second Niger bridge, and many other dilapidated federal roads across the Nation. To hell with the debt BS. Our past leaders are all corrupt and incompetent, beginning with OBJ who ruled Nigeria twice. History will judge them harshly.

This is what happens when the same military baboons are supported to come back to be "president". This cannot happen in serious nations, but in Nigeria, anything goes, and people will be saying "Lets see what he will do"

Seriously

yomanovic:
But we all know that APGA is sectional party that parades only the igbos now! Or what point are you trying to make now?

And APC is also a sectional party parading coupist and Islamist.

The whole notion and call for Biafra is and will always be good and right for Africa to progress on their own terms. Its too bad we are still answering a slave name given to us by the girlfriend of lord luggard, yet we say we are people that do naming ceremonies and even keep the names of pikin' secret for 7 days. (are we not hypocrites)

BUT

There are no real and tangible structures in the East for this Biafra to really take effect? What structures are in Abia State, where the whole state has stood for 16 years and allowed quacks to govern them- even allowing the worse governor in Black Africa to smuggle himself into the senate? The people are too local in the state

Or is it Ebonyi, where an 80 something was just pretending to govern for a wasteful 8 years?

Just saying

ChimaAdeoye:
Na wa o!
First, we voted for Change and a good life.
Then God answers our prayers and suddenly, we are told not to expect any real Change.
Na real wa for politicians. We've been duped again!

This one is clearly the people of nigeria's fault. To take a grandfather who came to limelight because of several coups, and rebrand him as a "Democrat" in 2015, was and is astonishing, proving that blacks are indeed not to be taken seriously. Funny enough he has been receiving ambassadors, visitors left and right, but what of the situation in South Africa, borrowed from his regimes page about 30 years ago?

The clerics are crazy, the so-called traditional rulers that should all be dethroned and abolished are mad, and we the people, have also gone mad with lack of common sense

omicron:
The governor deserves good credit abeg. Only those who understand will understand.
Arm-chair criticism is easy, wheather your criticising a state governor or a football coach.
Those who understand this city and state well will never forget Chime.
Any governor can be brought down easily by any hell-bent critic. Tell them Kwankwaso has built massive bridges and they start telling why then are his people one of poorest; Tell them Akpabio did great in changing the face of uyo and ak state and they ask you what has he done to stop his people from trooping to lagos to make a living; tell them Obi did great and they remind you how Onitsha and nnewi are so unlivable, and how Awka is a glorified village....
Chime cannot and has never been perfect, but he has been well above average. It's a city and state I was born and lived all my life. We have followed its progress since time immemorial. This is the place I like centje's input.
As a deltan, I pray we have a governor who would be like Chime; even if just to "paint the roads and light the streets". No to think about the money in my state.
No doubt we want the next governor to be far better than Chime, but to take something away from the popular guy is kind of criminal.

I hope you are not a "delta" in the sense of being from Delta state. With nothing for 8 years, Uduaghan bagged the best governor award recently

Ameachi? Among the first to break ranks with the East/South in preference of an old man who was a coupist.

Then used and dumped by Tinubu and his Fulani business partners

And now, no where.

They need to slash the number of states and number of stupid senators and legislators, beginning with the useless Abia state and senate-elect Orji.

If not, these rogues will continue to destroy this part of the world and the people are too local to do anything about it

Its sad, but look at the country, poor hospitals, and poor governors and senators, even in the very Anambra state.

Too bad

Thieves and more thieves.

Well, Naija people and Africans at large deserve it. It was from Buhari's regime that those in South Africa copied by booting out "non-indigenes".


Shame on black people

cholesterol problems. Soon they will look at how to go abroad to even "give birth"

Copy copy Yahoo.

Blah Blah.

Those countries only rich on paper or rather, for their former colonial masters who continue to Buhari-ized them

Incredible. We are still being ruled by the same folks year in year out. Now in May we'll hand over to a former 3 time coup plotter

Princecalm:
Hard work pays and good services to the people pays.

Which kin hard work?

Coupist in the making

Um, these are okay, but in 2015, there needs to be world class attractions. But with Theo Orji now as senator and PDP in Abia, Enugu, and the likes, I doubt that

Fools they are. Aiming for a "semi-final". As usual, we always want to patch patch in this country.

See the armies of the former colonial masters doing the job in Africa!!!
