I thought as much too.If they cant sit at home during the strike,why would they sit at home for oju-iku ? [/b]Yeye people.

On February 3rd, 2012, an icon and war time leader of  Eastern Nigeria, Dim Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, will be interred in his home town of Nnewi in Anambra State. On that day, Ndigbo worldwide have been charged (by MASSOB) to observe a stay at home wherever they reside worldwide.

Nairalanders of Eastern Nigeria extraction should, as a mark of respect, stay away from Nairaland on that day. This is not compulsive by any means. It is just a mark of respect and honor to a man who deserves our respect and honor. For Ndigbo, this "stay at home" should enable us to thoroughly reflect on our situation in Nigeria, and avail us the opportunity to REALLY THINK about the way out of our entrapment in the Nigerian nation.
I used the term entrapment, because since the war ended on a no victor no vanquished basis, there has been very little evidence to show that we have been fully accepted as Nigerians.

Our political and economic marginalization have approached egregious proportions, and the cries of our people constantly murdered in the Nigerian experiment renders the heavens! Our fathers fought to extract some dignity for us, and we revel in that dignity today, in the face of constant taunts and mockery by heartless folks. I don't really pay much attention to our mockers and taunters, because, frankly they owe us nothing. The debt is owed to HUMANITY and it will be paid. What we need to do is stay at home and cry to our God, the Great Yahweh, to strengthen our hands, to empower us to change our situation. There is a limit to talk. Silence is powerful too. February 3rd is a day of silence folks!
Let's do it!

Here I stand.

Poster shatap there which sytematic killing, why do u keep mpving to the north even after the civil war, are the igbo cities not enough for you? Enugu, aba,owerri, asaba,umuahia, abakiliki, portharcourt, awka etc if those cities are filled up am sure you have no problem moving to other southerncities like warri,calabar ,ikom ,yenogoa,benin, lagos,akure,adoekiti.ok let's assume u don't like those places what about,abuja,markurdi,lookoja.if nigeria no contain una den move to ghana, togo,cameroun benin. Enough of all this abeg.

I totally agree with all the bolded. ENCLAVE it is folks!
If we have 4 million Igbos in Northern Nigeria, I wonder why we can't raise a 500,000 man army there to defend ourselves if and when the jungle matures. What are all the people there doing if they cannot fight and defend themselves there? They should relocate if they can't fight there. I support the idea of funding their return too.
If only we have real leaders in Igboland. Well, time will tell.

NorthSharp:
You corwardly Arne! If you are not a stinking gogoro-drinking bastard, dumb-Bottom and a liar, you should know that we Northern Muslims do not hate Christians, be they Northern or Southern Christians; even outsiders are becoming increasingly aware that the recurring and running battles between us and you (Beroms and other Northern Christians) are not religious conflicts.

If "a high %" of us are 'terrorists' as you stupidly claimed, and there are over 40 millions of us, then how many terrorists would there be in Nigeria? Even at 5% of us being 'terrorists', that would be two (2) million terrorists carrying out or planning to carry out terrorist attacks!  

And if we just hate ordinary Christians just for nothing but for being Christians as your cursed lying mouth blabbers, why would there be MILLIONS of Southern Christians STILL living and doing going about their businesses, with such very intensive investments, all other the NW Muslim cities, like Kano, Sokoto, Bauchi, Kaduna, Maiduguri (prior to BH), etc?

Ex Inferis:
they'd be so cheaply made you can lazily shoot them down with catapult. igbo wey like cheap fake things.

You see how ignorant people are.

For starters, just because one is a Northerner doesnt neccesarily mean that one is a muslim, we have Northern Christians and Hausa christians as well, so what about them? Huh? Even Kaduna state and Borno(yes, Borno) are  diverse states that has both muslim and christians as indigene of those states.

@OP: you need to check your facts before you come up with an ethnicity bullshit agenda, this is what happens when people dont read History and allow themselves to be brainwashed by selfish politicians who are in it for money. What makes you think those ones that are fighting for biafra are genuinely interested in you people? They just want biafra s[b]o that they can chop more money and leave you people in poverty

Mtscheww, bunch of ignoramuses.[/b]

Omolulu:
My friend this is part of the problem, must you insult and abuse before you make a point? i think you are rather been blinded by the fact that a white man is involved that is why you are ranting like one who has just been castrated,

you should look at other apartheid fighters like Mandela and Mbeki and compare the way they dealt with issues with your fellow illiterate Malema

this is the problem of Malema and other short sighted people like you who claim to be oppressed and turn out worse than their oppressors.

Well Id rather be sensibly courageous and respected for it than to be stupidly brave without achieving the desired result, so far the only thing achieved was that he shouted at a white man, he should probably be given a trophy for that abi? dunce. You should look at the second video and see the way the woman presented her issues to the extent that the white man as force to throw in his microphone and go off air, that is what you should admire and emulate and not some black man who wants to be worse than his oppressor, besides he has only proven that he is more of a coward than other black men fighting for the same cause with his response

Our climate and weather conditions has really changed. Global warming everywhere, earthquakes of great magnitudes in many places, diseases and ailments with no cure, e.t.c.

[b]Just yesterday, Sunday 21-03-2010, in the eastern region and environs (around 10a.m. in the morning) the weather was so calm, the sun was not scorching but when you look at it, it has the colour of the moon and you cannot really gaze at it.[/b]Not long afterwards, a bit of harmattan set in. Can anyone explain the brief harmattan experienced yesterday (march ending) when we should expecting the rains? I was in Owerri and P.H. yesterday.

The bottomline then is that our weather has become unpredictable. Whatever you hear, you had better take the necessary precautions before arguing and doubting.

olabukola:
This will be the biggest mistake of the century. Their is nothing like South Nigeria and it won't work. You can have a workable Northern Nigeria but not south. Putting Igbo, Yoruba and Ijaw together. Another Nigeria in the making. We South(Not East) lost the war and we have to leave with it. That is how the North see it and that is fact.

Katsumoto:
So after you have succeeded in forming your country, Biafra, you want to continue to live and trade in Nigeria - the North and South-west. Why do you think such an arrangement will work?

why do you think that the northerners will not continue their barbaric attacks?

Do you not think it makes better sense to just relocate from the north?

Why do you think that after several years of living in Nigeria, Nigerians can not seize your assets one day and ask you to leave. Oh I get it, you want to eat your cake and have it.

Comparing Nigerians living in the UK to Biafrans living in Nigeria is like comparing apples and oranges. For one, the historical antecedents in both scenarios are different. Nigerians living in the UK still live as second class citizens. They still face all kinds of implicit and explicit racial prejudice.

If Biafrans feel unwelcomed in the North and South-west, why not just stay in the east?

Its not by force to stay in Kano, Kaduna, or lagos.

texazzpete:
Yet again you display your stunted IQ for all to see. Who is living in denial? All we want is a chance for the wounds of the past to heal, not to have a sore thrust in our faces even when many of us were not even alive to see this happen. It's good to remember the sins of the past and it's good to keep such in mind to ensure that that does not happen again. But that's as far as it goes. Do you see the Jews whipping out holocaust images at every UN meeting or press briefing?
The lesson the Jews took from the Holocaust was to do everything in their power to ensure the safety and survival of their people. Had the Jews been like you and the OP, the Jews would perennially hate and blame ALL Germans.

First, We are not citizens of a country.

We are citizens of diverse nations reluctantly tied together in an unwanted and despised unification

I doubt this will lead to ethnic clashes
Northerners are proud people when they feel attacked and are likely to respond by acting to ensure these people have catered for so they (northerners) are not embarassed like this in future.

If it happened in the East, it might have been trouble but it happened in the West.

All those idiot videos they used Final Cut 0.01 or Adobe Premier Pro 0.005 to manipulate. With the kind of software available today, that video would be torn apart and the truth revealed.

It's like FIFA coming to tell us that the Maradona HAND OF GOD video is lost so we can't use modern technology to analyse the goal.


The whole thing was a sham. NASA Entertainment Limited. The fools I pity are the Europeans that saw the virtual EFX-ed mars rover videos. Britain convinced the whole of Europe to invest billions of Euros of their hard earned taxpayers money to launch one big mass of scrap metal into space believing it would get to Mars. That was the story of the Beagle 2. Not even the Cherubs and Seraphs know where that thing is till today.

When they saw that they had been deceived by the British who convinced them with several Hollywood-style NASA home videos, they went ahead to lie to their citizens that the money lost wasn't much. Just $40 million. If really to send a Mars craft out can be as cheap as that, then even Mali would have sent out a rover to Saturn.

No be only moon dem go. Dem for kuku go star. Ordinary Atlantis wey dey earth here, dem never fit go, na moon.

Abi nor be so dem dey see UFO all over the place? Only dem. Mumu people. Pay betta tax happily so that NASA Entertainment Limited and House of Macro go shoot another home video for una at the cost of $300 billion.

1. The Apollo moon programme was terminated due to spiraling costs and safety issues. At that time the USA had flown several successful moon landings, and there was nothing left to prove, and precious little to gain.

2. Russia was not 'far ahead' in space technology at that time. First to start, yes, but they soon started losing ground to the Americans. Did Russia ever come out to say the moon landings were technically impossible?

3. The rockets used to send the Apollo craft into orbit long ago are outdated. NASA is working on a new generation of rocket boosters to carry the next wave into space. If you could be arsed to do some study you'd have known this by now.
