True!

buh a country can set new rules and laws that'll bind every citizen..

and you sure know how d fulanis reason nw..

yorubas still get chill small buh awasas..

dunno how they'll take it o

Yes,Nigeria can enact harsh policies to impede Igbo businesses but you can't kill the Biafrans. The consequences would be heavy for Nigeria.

DiademSh07:
Same way there are Igala and non-ibos in Abia, Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi!
Every state has few minority such as Ondo and Kwara but that doesn't mean the state belong to them!
Gosh! I wonder how ibo reason!

These Igbos are indigenous to these states not that they own it. You best drop the mentality that Igbos want to own everything. Such weight will only pull you down.

flokii:
that's what you think..

d main 'motive' behind biafraa is to cut ties with other tribes because you guys are not politically strong & wise as they are

I think you still remember d oba's threat..

in such instance, no FG will be there to defend your people, no ICC

others can as well decide to cut ties with you too completely

No international body or sane country jn these age would watch Biafran internationals killed in Nigeria for getting their own country. Things don't work like that. Their rights are fully protected.

flokii:
war?

not at all... they can sell their properties and go to their canaland flowing with milk and honey

no need for fight atal on that..

what should bother you most is what happens to igbos in other parts of d country eg. Kano, Abuja, Lagos

tho we yorubas won't have problem with their stay here buh what if we do?

If for instance,Biafra is actualized. What will happen is that the Biafrans will come out on the streets of Lagos,Abuja etc to celebrate their new found country. After which they'll go back to their businesses. Nobody will forcefully eject anybody. They have rights.

flokii:
I get ur point...

you want an igbo-only nation free from hausa/fulani dominace, yoruba cowardice and so on...

buh the truth is. it can't be and won't sustain without an oil rich region with coastal access like SS.. most of your leaders know that

dunno why some are still reluctant to accept that fact... trying to force anybody with you means war which I wouldn't want

Okay. Do you know forcing the Igbos in SS to stay in Nigeria after Biafra is declared in SE only,would amount to the same war? Cause they would like to leave too

Cc: Slikbae

flokii:
buh dat's what it looks like...

SS are saying they're not part of biafraaa but Kanu and co. are saying No, they'll take them along even some part of kogi..

have you studied thier proposed map & listened to his speeches?

Well,on kanu I'm not against agitation but I don't support hate speeches. I for one has advocated for an Igbo-only biafra but the shadow actors strongly believe the both regions should leave. Why their conviction? I don't know. They know more than I do and are better placed so though I don't support,I can only watch to see if their efforts would be futile.

..I may not be a regular poster on politics section,but one thing i know about this barcanister (or whatever his name is now)dude is that he is a discredited,two-faced charlatan with zero integrity...i guess the opportunistic 'protection seeker' is cunningly seeking for ways to meander back to APC since his PDP has lost out.. ..


..Concerning this Biafra thing,i am in PH right now and i know that some Ss are for while some are against..I met a pro-Wike politician the other day from Obigbo or Oyigbo LG and was surprised by his views concerning this Biafra issue cos he sounded really pro-Biafra..he had told me that some Militants were even on the Biafran side but i didnt believe him,only for me to read same on Nairaland today...just like another dude i know from Akwa-ibom who is much more pro-Biafran than anyone in my family..and i am from Anambra! ..


...The truth of the matter is that it is much more deeper than we know...some people from SS(especially politicains)uncomfortable with Buhari's style of governance or threatned will simply key into this Biafra thing even if it is to shake this administration up and get them to do what they want....afterall there is strenght in numbers.

..as for moi,na siddon look i dey.

Thanks for your contribution.

the worst part is that you're a coward and inconsequential element not worthy to have male testicles thus you deserve female pucccy because you're naturally a coward biafra will become reality with United Old eastern region and you can go and die or relocate if you don't like it.

i repeat you're no body

Easy.

Goodboiyy:
Of a truth am not happy with the current arrangement of Nigeria, But this your biafra of a thingy is a hell no 4 me and my people, My decision should b respected, .. If dearpreye tells u Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Efik, ikwerre, Ogoni e.t.c re fully in support of your biafra then he (Dearpreye) is not telling you the truth.

Our position is very clear , What about you leaving your biafra agitation and join hands with Ndeltans For resource control ?.. If you can't leave your dream to support us, do you want us to leave our Dream for your sake?..

Niger Deltans Are cut in the Middle in this biafra / Nigeria malady with both parties fighting to keep ND, without seeking what NDeltans really want - Goodboiyy

Let me ask,what does SS really want?

I think the mods should take this further. Lalasticlala, Mynd44

TonyeBarcanista do you believe a ss guy can write this

The old game card they have been using.
Divide and rule. So mr Ringin, who killed
Saro-wiwa, Igbo man? Who refused and
threatened blood and tears if Jonathan go
for second term, Igbo man? Who are the
people fighting resource control, Igbo
man? Who are the people who refuse to
clean up Ogoni land even after court gave
the order for the cleaning and
compensation, Igbo man? I have no time to
go on and on to punture this apparent
blackmail and cheap propaganda. WE THE
SOUTH SOUTH KNOW WHO OUR ENENMY
IS, ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT OUR BROTHERS,
THE IGBOS HAVE PROVED THAT WE ARE
REALLY BROTHERS. THIS IS NOT 1967

TonyeBarcanista:
Nobody in SS is against Biafra. We are simply saying that it shouldn't be extended beyond the SE to our land. You can shift to NC or NW, it's not our problem.

Okay. Let's see.

I just remembered a fellow. Cheruv! the northerners are at it again.

Emekamex:
I can't comprehend why folks from the SS are so insecure about Igbos. To my best of knowledge, no Igbo person has forcefully taken a thing in the SS region since it was created.
I am get getting pissed and tired of this fake stories that we want to colonize your land, it will be more worthwhile to channel this energy on how to solve the ever degrading environmental conditions in the SS.

I will like to verbalize for the umpteenth time that no true Igbo person is interested in your land or whatsoever, if not you would have felt our presence by now because we are very dedicated in getting whatever we want.

I don't know where this silly statements come ouy from. Some SS people need to stay in the east for sometime so they see what drives the Igbo man. I'm pretty sure landgrabbing or colonizing other tribes is not in the top 100.

I think I must state something here. It is only a matter of time before the opponents of the biafran course in the SS shift ground. I say so not arrogantly but because Nigeria is defeating herself. The interest of this opponents are not being considered in the Nigerian system. Soon majority of these opponents would align with the seccessionists. Let's watch anyway.

niggas thinks their opinion counts

TonyeBarcanista is irrelevant both here and mostly offline

Lol. You're trolling the guy now o.

Aufbauh:
It's not a new thing to have tribes in different locations, for instance you have yorubas in Togo, Cotonue and other West African countries, Hausa-fulani in Niger, Chad Cameroon etc.
The question is that does that make those aforementioned people Nigerians simply because we have more dense population of yorubas and Hausa-fulani in Nigeria?
Can these people accurately trace their origins in Nigeria?
Can there be a precise genealogical reference to any family in the dominant location?
The above questions are the main reasons you cannot conjure tribes in different locations simply because they speak the same language and bear similar names.
The Iyalas in Ogoja speak Idoma as a language, bear similar names and culture but the Idoma cannot outrightly lay claim to them because of the aforementioned questions.

Yes the Igbos in SS can trace back to a common Igbo origin. You honestly cannot dispute they're indigenous Igbos in SS. Yet again,that argument is for another day.

wiseoneking:
Well, the yoruba there are no more yoruba since they have adopted igbo Culture, language, names and are not proud of their conoid heritage. I think they are not upto 2000 but they prefer their igbn adopted tribe.

Interesting.

Shut up and mind you tiny tribe fortunate to be under ND

by now you bunch of inconsequential elements should have known that your opinion is 100% invalid offline.

Talking about that. Tbh,I see more SS people lending their voice to the cause everyday both in reality and on other fora. Let's see how it shapes out tho'

size40:
What Mr Waziri Ringim said is nothing new to us the south-south people. Stories and evidences abound about how the Igbos treated the south-south peoples b4, during and after d civil war. The problem of d Igbos is not different from d general problems of Nigeria. Keep doing d same thing over and over and expecting a good result. The never consulted us to seat and reach agreement b4 engaging in a war of secession against Nigeria. The same thing repeating itself like in d sixties. I have listened to Nnamdi Kanu on Radio Biafra here in port Harcourt some couple of times. I just looked at him like somebody who is living an elusive life. The Igbos should go ahead with Biafra and allow us be.

My brother I tell people atimes,if you keep looking back,you can't go forward. You hurt for atrocities committed against your people but remember atrocities were committed on both sides. Let this things go. In the end,we'll all get there

opiaoku:
bro i must say that you fall hand for replying that battered seeking for self redemption called TonyeBarcanista who's as inconsequential in even his family as "p" in psychology.

look around nowadays nobody takes him serious anymore thus seeking attention and relevance on nairaland.

Hmmm. Noted.

Aufbauh:
Is like you're the one that is shallow in understanding what he meant by recolonize.
He is definitely referring to how Ojukwu led biafra tried to annex the SS into his phantom dream before the civil war.

So Igbos want to annex SS. How ridiculous. There's Igbos in the SS,how do you reconcile that fact with your statement.

TonyeBarcanista:
Any attempt by any group or groups to "colonise" the South South will be met with brute force and resisted with all of our might






@OP: There is nothing to fear! We are able

Catch my drift. The notion of colonizing SS is utterly ridiculous and baseless. Most regrettably,it is divisive.

shachris02:
Olukumi is most intensively spoken at Ugbodu and Ukwunzu. It is also spoken at Ubulubu.

If SS joins as a whole no need for any arguments

Aufbauh:
The Waziri Ringim told Vanguard that
agitation by the Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB was a
calculated effort to capture the economic
prospects of the minority ethnic nationality in
the oil rich region.
He said, “Those Indigenous People of Biafra
have a hidden agenda to recolonize the South-
south, capture the region, colonize the oil field
for the betterment of the Igbos.”

Cc: TonyeBarcanista,Truckpusher, HopeAtHand make una come see wetin Emperor Kanu dey plan for una.

Are you nuts? Waziri's ploy is very shallow. He seems to be defending the SS yet insulting them all together. Saying Igbos want to recolonize the SS people means they were a conquered people previously. It is not only an insult,it is provocative and undeniably a big lie

shachris02:
what about the Yoruba speaking tribes of aniocha and other parts of Delta state. If you get your biafra, are you going to move them out of their indigenous homes?

Yoruba speaking tribes of Aniocha?! Haba! What "tribes" in Aniocha are Yoruba-speaking?

tuale4u:
He is right

Explain how the Igbos want "re-colonize" SS. I don't know if you see the shade He threw at SS there or if you see how divisive and stu.pidd the statement is

I don't know where to start from. How can this man be this myopic in reasoning. How can he say Igbos can't make a country? The man even said it is only coal that is in the SE? How stu.pidd? For him to say Igbos want to "colonize" SS is a very daft summation and shouldn't be coming from a leader. This divide and rule can't work forever,people are getting smarter!

Leader of the now rested Arewa Peoples
Congress (APC), Alhaji Sagir Ringim has said
that the ongoing clamour for the creation of
the Independent State of Biafra was a ploy to
colonize the South-South.
The Waziri Ringim told Vanguard that
agitation by the Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB was a
calculated effort to capture the economic
prospects of the minority ethnic nationality in
the oil rich region.
He said, “Those Indigenous People of Biafra
have a hidden agenda to recolonize the South-
south, capture the region, colonize the oil field
for the betterment of the Igbos.”
Speaking further, the northern leader said
that Biafra is not blessed with solid minerals
apart from coal, saying that the geology of
the region can’t support an independent
country.
The former Intelligent officer of the Nigerian
Army explained that “because of these natural
shortcomings Igbos survived as a diaspora race
than any dominant group in Nigeria”.
Ringim opined that “if the Indigenous People
of Biafra are now saying that yes, we want to
have Biafra, what are you going to do with
more than three quarter of the Igbos who are
outside the East, those in Kano, those in Lagos
what are you going to do with then? You take
all those people then go back to Biafra? They
have no houses to live, they have no means of
livelihood.”
Waziri Ringim dismissed IPOB activities as
orchestrated blackmail to arm-twist other
stakeholders in the polity for more economic
advantage.
