Unserious comedians, since when did anyone in d east become a Jew? Just a tactic brought by their director to court the support of Israel for their agitation.

I bet you 99% of these guys just bought these Jewish attire for the drama. If you ask them I bet you they don't know the first thing about judaism.

Country... .... Biafra
Religion... .. . Judaism
Ojokwu go de weep for what has become of his dream. I wish these children did not bring religion into this movement. if something is wrong with Nigeria and you want to leave what's wrong with Christianity?

gnykelly:
isreal online news or the state of isreal. stop foooling yourself. your dream can never come to pass.

Jaideyone:
no if KANU was Yoruba he'll be more tactical about his approach. he'll probably run for senate and garner support for a referendum. that's the difference between intellect and chest beating

Feraz:
Aren't you people tired? Can't you make a post without snide remarks at other people? An interesting thread was brought forth and instead of discussing, you derail it.

Of course, they are good but shouldn't we be ashamed of ourselves? I mean, they are the ones still distorting and giving us our history. What happened to our NSIBIDI way of writing? When are we going to bring it back? We may discover many hidden mysteries and histories of the Igbo because I am sure the Igbos of old must have kept a record of them all...

Nigeria on Tuesday marks 50 years since the declaration of an independent Republic of Biafra plunged the country into a civil war, amid renewed tensions and fresh calls for a separate state.

The main pro-independence groups — the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) — have called for a day of reflection.

Among the IPOB are one of the largest ethnic groups in the central African nation, the Igbo people, and among them is a small minority of practicing Jews, who believe they are descended from the tribes of Israel.

During the last 30 years or so, many Igbo Jews have moved to match their tradition of Jewish descent with the practice of rabbinic Judaism, the learning of Hebrew, observance of kosher dietary laws and observance of Jewish holidays. Many Igbo Jews are passionately Zionist.

In 1970, after nearly three years of fighting, Biafran soldiers, who were outnumbered 10 to one by federal troops and under-equipped, laid down their arms.

The conflict caused an estimated million deaths, many of them by starvation after the secessionist region was blockaded.

With surrender went their dreams of a separate state for the Igbo people, who are the majority in the southeast.

Half a century later, Biafra remains an extremely sensitive subject in Nigeria.

SlayerForever:
Op do me a favour and drop the sauce for this news,I've got hot yams over here.

nwabobo:
And you really think you are Arab?

Pot calling kettle black #nonsense

anwulica:
This young man wants to achieve what his fore-fathers and even the Great Ikemba of Nnewi, Ojukwu could not achieve at death even though his 'Manhood' lives on

A past leader once said that Biafra is dead and buried

A word is enough for the wise

I wish you all the luck you'll need!

IpobExposed:
useless criminal

Babe2sure:
What are you saying?
Don't you notice thinly veiled mockery in his write-up? Does he sound like he cares? The singular fact that he said it in a mockery tone will make me say that he should shut the fvck up.
His opinion and advice is not needed in the grand scheme of things. Mtchewwww!
He should go and advice his country people, because they have their own issues to grapple with too.

Moriarty01:
all i have said is the truth (nothing more).

why do most of you sound so bitter?

Moriarty01:
So, i have been an avid follower of this large forum. i recently decided to open an account.

I still can't quite understand how you guys think.

your recently elected President has done nothing (Absolutely nothing) to combat Boko Haram more than 4months after his swearing in.
he travels to a different country daily (doing god knows what).
your economy is on a downward spiral.
no policies to strengthen your weak _ass currency.
more than 89% of the your increasing population lives below 1dollar daily.
no steps have been taken to diversify your ever weakening economy (which I heard is solely dependent on crude)
you cant boast of 20hr power supply daily.
educational system is the best on the planet (same with health-care)
good and accessible roads are everywhere (except) in your wonderful country.
you import basically everything (including wooden toothpicks)
you don't even have portable drinking water all around the country.
common basic amenities are absent.


and you guys take sides and support the same ruling class that's milking your nation dry?

the same people that stole from your fathers, the same people that are stealing from you presently and the same people that would steal from your children and grand-children??!!

and to think this was the same country my Nigerian coursemate was bragging about. his sense of reasoning must be warped


you guys totally deserve the wonderful leadership you're getting.
