I have rarely seen full blooded Igbos who are not sympathetic to IPOB cause. ...... Honestly I respect Igbos so much as a people. Without you guys in this country, we wouldn't have had a lot of developments in some areas as we do now. So, I take the Igbos in high esteem, but my esteem was seriously questioned when I saw the manner at which many Igbos were behaving in respect to IPOB. The high display of rudeness, arrogance, Stack Ignorance........and the fsct that they were gaining more numbers by the day. I only wish the cause would be more intellectual and developmental, based on sound and objective principles. If it was like this, many of us from other regions would have gladly joined the movement. |

Suplexx: Please talk with fact. Abia has just 2.3 million population. It is number 28 on the list of states population. It is less populated than Edo State.
Kano and Lagos have 9 million each. Oyo 6 million. All these using last census figures.
So how can Abia have more votes than Oyo? If to check well, all the states with 2 and 3 million population have similar number of votes. Card reader exposed the rigging previously done in South East. So you are relying on that sham of a 2006 census for facts? I thought you would honestly know better. A census that claimed that Kano was more populated than Lagos state? A census that claimed that Katsina was more populated than Oyo, Delta & Rivers states? A ceneus that claimed that Jigawa was more populated than Ogun & Edo? A census that claimed that Zamfara was more populated than Plateau & Abia? What a joke! More verifiable population determing sources like the Telecoms industry has helped reasonable Nigerians and the international community to better ascertain population spread in Nigeria...... Check the list of the national bureau of statistics on telecom call subscribers to get a better picture of population spread in Nigeria. http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/list-of-states-with-the-highest-number-of-phones-and-internet-subscribers/amp/Compare the population of active call subscribers in Abia with that of Jigawa, Bauchi & Zamfara, then compare how many votes did Jigawa, Bauchi & Zamfara give to Buhari with what Abia gave to GEJ in 2011. .....Then come back let us talk. |

Hati13: The hatred between some ethnic groups against the other in Ethiopia has been there for some times. But since the country has been in political crisis in past few years, those different clashes started to happen simultaneously. For example, during the political crisis after the deposition of Derg in 1991, many clashes simultaneously happened for some period.
When the Tigrays speak Tigrinya, they can be easily tell apart from Amhara. Or some of the protesters would have known them they are Tigray before the incident.
I heard that some Amharas were attacked in Tigray. One was killed.
Addis Abeba isn't affected by the crisis. There had been few protests in the city but it wasn't huge. It's still safe.
During the struggle to depose Derg, many of the leaders of struggle were either Tigray or others who were pro-Tigray. So when they sized power, the elite Tigrays became dominant over the others. Hmm, tribalism, One major cause of problems in Africa. If the African continent as a whole does not come together to find a way to destroy tribalism, it will keep on taking us backwards. ..... Here in Nigeria, one single tribe, the Fulanis are the ones causing problems and trouble for all others. These fulanis successfully infiltrated leadership of Islam and the Hausas (one of the major ethnic groups of the country). So, they have been manipulating both in order to dominate the country. |

Hati13: So this means you aren't against him since you are from the north.
The clash that happened between Oromo and Somali was as result of border issue and wants to control the Kaht trade (it's a drug).
The clash that happened between Oromo-Tigray was as a result of the government. Since most Oromos hate the government and associates it with Tigray, they attacked some Tigrays in their region.
The clash that happened between Amhara-Tigray was as a result of the same Oromo-Tigray clash.
The clash that happened between Oromo-Amhara was as a result of personal insult.
The army and regional polices intervened to stop those clashes. Some ppl from both sides were killed as a result of this. I am not really from the real north of Nigeria. My region is classified as northern Nigeria for the sake of politics, but we are actually central or middlebelt Nigeria culturally and geographically. ....Also, I am a christian, as well as many people from my region, so we don't have religious sentiments as a basis to keep on supporting Buhari. So, how come all these clashes happened simultaneously all over ET? Can all Oromos easily tell Amharas apart from Tigrays? Did the Tigrays retaliate by attacking Amharas & Oromos in their regions? Did the crisis affect Adis Ababa? How come the Tigrays who are a smaller tribe have so much influence in ET? |

They can now lobby their colleagues from other regions especially citing the Fulani herdsmen as a case.

I read here that some Nigerians are demanding the resignation of Buhari after the recent resignation of some African leaders. Do you also wants him to step down? Nigeria is not like other African countries where a leader can easily resign. Nigerians are very stubborn and proud, so such can never happen in Nigeria. Even though most Southern & Central Nigerians may not like President Buhari and might wish him to step down, he still has massive and 100% support from the tens of millions of his people in northern Nigeria, simply based on tribal & religious bigotry and affiliation.

Materials were destroyed and some ppl of both the protesters and policemen/soldiers were killed. I heard that a Judge was burned alive few weeks ago. The country is in crises.
Oromos are primarily demanding for the end of their marginalization and for the government to step down. They had also protested against the latest state of emergency. Some Amharas also demanding for the government to step down.
Few months ago, there had been some clashes between Oromo-Somali, Oromo-Tigray and Oromo-Amhara. The clash between Oromo and Somali was horrible. Many ppl were displaced and died in ugly way (beheaded, burned alive, etc...). OMG! Why are the Oromos fighting every one else? It seems these clashes were not covered by the media?

gidgiddy: The Biafran agitation is not about local politics or hood governance, it is about freedom.
Nobody is going to form a Biafran party because that would be a waste of time and resources. Even if such Biafran party managed to win all the elective offices in the SE/SS, they would still have to go back to the National Assembly in Abuja where the other 4 zones will be waiting to deal with them. As soon as any motion for referendum is moved, the entire North and the Yoruba friends will gang up to shoot it down and they will win since they will have the majority vote.
So the only way to get referendum the way Nigeria is currently structured is by peoples power. Mass agitation until the National Assembly bows to popular demand for a referendum. Do you know that you are indirectly contradicting yourself? You yourself initially said that the Arewa youths were supporting referendum for Biafra apparently due to the loudness of your agitations. So, are you saying other regions will no longer support your referendum anymore by the time these agitations become more pronounced and legitimate, since it will now be fully endorsed by your regional politicians and elites? Stop contradicting yourself. Make these agitations more legitimate and watch other regions give you whole-hearted support. |

An attack was actually carried out The even tried to kill the current emir - Sanusi Lamido. He did not attend that particular mosque on that day They killed Majo Gen Shuwa - did they do this because they were being supported You guys people in the NOrth never voted for Jonathan - yet he got 25% oin Katsina in 2011 You are always distorting history
Prove that they defied Obasanjo Obasanjo saw it as a political issue that will fizzle out and said so Why did he not take them to court There were cases between FG and SGs under Obasanjo - why was this not taken to court? So, why did Buhari come out to say that an attack on Boko haram is an attack on the north in 2013? http://nationalmirroronline.net/files/new/clampdown-on-boko-haram-injustice-against-north-buhari/As for Obasanjo and sharia law.

In terms of total number of votes, you need to remember that PDP secured many votes in 2015 because plenty people were passionate about GEJ and PDP also had the power of incumbency. Now the northern crowd due to ethnic and religious sentiments will still kill themselves in 2019 to vote Buhari, even supported with their horde of underaged voters. But just imagine when PDP fronts a northern candidate, do you think a typical Igbo man will leave his shop to go stand under the sun and rain to vote for 'another Hausa man' all because he hates Buhari?... nobody really got time for that. There isnt any Jonathan whom people are passionate about anymore, voter turn out in the SS and SE amd even the SW would be much lower than in 2015; the fact is that people havent been provided with any hopeful choice, so a lot of people (southerners) lamenting now would end up not bothering themselves during the election for lack of a promising alternative. Hating buhari isnt enough of an incentive to wake and push people to go vote, but you can be sure that the love and passion for their candidate would keep the entire north awake. Less I also forget, I can bet you that Buhari will find it difficullt to secure 25% votes in Benue & Plateau states. Forget the fact that we have APC governors in both states, the hatred for Buhari is now strong in both states. And don't forget that both states are overwhemingly christian in population, so there will be no strong muslim minority who will vote based on religious sentiments and deliver the 25% votes for Buhari here. |

Except for the people of SS/SE who are heavily anti-APC and vote based on sentiments, no other region was passionate about GEJ. ......This was why my region the middlebelt who gave GEJ massive and millions of votes and many states in 2011, drastically reduced our support for him in 2015. We were dissapointed in him and we believed Buhari's change slogan. Same thing happened in the SW. But now I think we know better. So, what passion are you talking about? 2ndly, when you talk about the entire north being locked down for Buhari in 2019. I don't know if you are including the middlebelt in your definition of entire north?

For instance, Abia state which is one of the least populated states in Nigeria had more voters than Oyo. Nearly as many voters as Kano and Lagos.
But when card reader was used, Abia state had only 300k voters in 2015 as compared to 1.1m in 2011 First of all, you are wrong by saying Abia is one of the least populated states. Aba is the most populated city in the SE. Do you think that the North did not rig elections for Buhari? How come there were no cancelled votes in the entire Kano state? What about the almajiris and underaged voters in the north? The Card reader malfunctioned in many parts of the SE/SS..... Many areas of the SS quickly started manual thumbprinting but the SE areas did not. This was why their votes were lower. |

He has never won in these 2 states, not even in 2015 he did not win here. In Kogi state, most Igalas & Okuns have hated APC because of Yahaya Bello. Ebira votes alone cannot make APC win Kogi. Benue state, no need to even talk about this one. Kwara state is the only debatable state here. If Saraki turns around to support PDP, as we are seeing he may likely, then forget Buhari winning Kwara. So you can see that the odds are heavily against Buhari in the NC. |

gidgiddy: Of course, it happend in East Timor. If a group of people agitate strongly enough, a time will come when the national assembly will start talking about giving them referendum in the interest of peace. It may take long but as long as the people keep up their agitation, the Assembly will later bow to the will of the people.
It is when a people agitate in huge numbers that the elected representatives pay attention. If IPOB overturn their proscription in court and return to full blown non violent agitation, it will even be a Northern lawmaker who will be the first to move a motion for referendum for them. If we remember, Arewa youths openly supported referendum for the Biafrans during last year agitation.
Because even if Biafran activists won all the political positions in the area they want a referendum, they will still have to go back to the national assembly in Abuja where the entire North and Yorubas will be waiting to deal with them. Any vote on referendum in the national assembly this way will be lost by the Biafrans since the others have the majority.
The only way to get a referendum the way Nigeria is currently structured is to agitate and show the other side that you are serious about going your way. It may be long and hard but it is the only way for now. You are very wrong. First of all, on the issue of Timor leiste (or east Timor), they did not get their independence based on the loudness of their insults or protests. East Timor was an independent country which was invaded and annexed by Indonesia. So their situation is in no way analogous to that of Biafra which has been part of Nigeria from Independence. .....This was why the UN heavily supported them and urged Indonesia to release them. East Timor also had a very powerful militant group called the Fretlin, who fought fiercely against the Indonesian army for decades. Secondly, no matter the agitations by the secessionist masses, if their political leaders are not within a political party framework that supports the secessionist ideologies, there is no way that these leaders can ever be intimidated by the protesting masses into buying a secessionist ideology, unless the case of militancy is involved. At least, I have not seen that happen anywhere. Both Catalonia & Scotland have political leaders within a party framework that believes and support secession, unlike your Biafra that is filled with pro-one Nigeria governors of PDP & APC. Why don't you guys have a Biafran political party to dominate the political environment of the SE first of all and see if others will not take you serious? By the time this happens, most people within Nigeria and the international environment will now know and accept the fact that you guys are serious with your struggle. Cos by then, you guys would have the support of the elite and political class. There is no underestimation of what a united political & elite class of representatives can do for your region. They will give the FG serious competition & hot trouble. They can function as a sort of regional govt and coalition, even possibly winning the support of people and intellectuals from other regions. Until then, Biafra is seen as an agitation mostly championed by riff-raffs, street urchins, miscreants, scoundrels, societal misfits, uneducated and jobless illiterate masses. |

obailala: Most of the points highlighted by the Op are very valid, Buhari is very likely going to win again if he contests. The 'loudest' voices of opposition against Buhari are still the same voices that screamed against him in 2015 but couldn't still pull the required numbers despite PDPs power of incumbency.
Right now with APC's current confusion and daily failures, coupled with the lackadaisical handling of the herdsmen crisis, this should have been a right time for PDP to get its act together and produce a solid candidate; but then again, its really complicated. A PDP candidate from the north could divide Buhari's votes, but then, a northern PDP candidate would also result in serious voter apathy in the SE and SS (cos only die hard passionate buhari haters would step out to go vote in order to just remove Buhari). If PDP brings a southern candidate (which is very unlikely), it has to be a person that would be acceptable across the entire south (e.g. Duke); else the Yoruba vs Igbo feud would just gift Buhari a landslide. Any way one looks at it, it doesnt seem like buhari is going anywhere yet, exvept he decides to step down. Suplexx: He will win. I did a similar analysis recently buhariguy: Out of 15m vote buhari garnered in 2015, 13m base vote is awaiting buhari even without campaign.
And nobody can garner upto 10m vote even with serious campaign with thief OBJ and ibb EzeCanada: Obviously, Buhari or someone much older from the North would win.
Not because of the flawed statistics but because Buhari, his Northern power brokers together with their foreign backer - Britain - do not respect due process, hence the rigging mechanism had long been concluded only awaiting implementation. Harrynight: I always fear he doesn't run cos if he does, sadly he will will against all odds. ... Our Nightmare continues anibirelawal: Right on point. All of you saying Buhari will win Buhari will win, based on northern votes, you guys should not forget that even in 2011 election, Buhari won all the core-northern states and Niger state, yet he still lost the election. Let's forget it. The people who will determine if Buhari wins or not are the yorubas and middlebelters cos there is no way Buhari can win the SE, SS, SW and NC combined if they vote overwhelmingly for one candidate. Let's also remember that constitutionally, Buhari needs at least 25% votes from at least 5 Southern states before he can be declared president, regardless of the number of votes he gets from the north. Now we all that Buhari cannot get up to 25% votes in any SE/SS states except Edo. Will the yorubas give him those votes? This is what we should be bothered by, not necessarily the population of the core-north. |

The voice of the people supersedes any elected democratic representative. The job of IPOB is to show that it has the support of the people and I believe that they have done that going by the millions who attend their rallies and a highly successful sit at home order.
If you ask who IPOB is to ask for any political action on behalf Igbos, I will ask who Nigeria is to act in any political way on behalf of Igbos. Did the Igbo nstion at any time agree to be part of the colonial organisation called Nigeria?
Self determination is the right of any organisation or group and anyone is allowed to agitate for self determination. While it is true that in places like Britain, Scotland used its political representatives to move for a referendum, there is no rule that says this is the only way to seek self determination. East Timor did not have to use a political solution to get a referendum, they agitated the way IPOB is doing and Indonasia gave them a UN monitired referendum. East Timor is today an independent nation. It is the organisation that can massmobilise the people to come out to support it that speaks for the people. So, after all the IPOB rallies, shouting on the streets and public displays. What next? Do you think anyone or any sane govt anywhere just hands over referendum or seccesion to people based on the loudness of their insults, chantings or protests? Referendum or seccession only comes through war, or through the constitution which must come through the elected representatives. What stops Igbos from forming a Biafran political party and voting them in to fill all political positions in Igbo land? This is the only way referendum can be achieved. |

Nonaira1: I'm so tired of the incompetence that emits from niggerians. Trump was very much accurate in his description of you lots.
What is the job of politicans? Is it not to be the VOICE of the people?
Who is likely to speak on the behalf of the people if not a group that had MULTIPLEs coming out to support and die for their cause despite not releasing a penny to show that support unlike majority of niggerian politician.
Name one Niggeria politicians that does the job he is supposed to do and not a corrupt bastard looking out for their pocket?
Name one fucking politicians in niggeria that did not rig himself or herself in.
Who are IPOB to speak for igbo? The people that the people spoke to be their voice and displayed it by their actions. Which is the fucking job of a politician and the reason government was ever created. Then again, I'm not shocked a so called "nation" where incompetence is the daily act of your typical government. Where backwardness, selflessness and stupidity is the only thing you are good at in terms of democracy therefore, I'm not shocked you savages are incompetent in the reason government was ever made. Where were you when the core-northern leaders and politicians were defending Boko haram during GEJ's tenure? Where were you when all the core-northern governors and lawmakers defied President Obasanjo's authority and that of our FG at large in 2001 and enforced Sharia laws in their states? Most Southern political leaders are cowards, let's face it. They gat no balls to defend what their people want in unity. And it's such a shame that we try our best to excuse their cowardice. |

EternalTruths: Your comment is one reason why I see Northern Christians as less intelligent Christians.
So you expect our political class to talk in a Nation like Nigeria that silence people who fight for their rights.
Why was Uwazuruike jailed by Obj.? What are you talking about? This is why our leaders usually take us for granted. We always excuse their inefficiencies and indifference to our plights. Governors like Fayose that have been very vocal for their people, how have they been silenced? Governors & lawmakers in Nigeria have immunity to a large extent. Can't you see the way core-northern leaders exert their power in defending their people? Why are you excusing the cowardice of your leaders? If they speak up for Biafra, will they be killed? Hausa fulanis can never take their madness to that level na. |

EternalTruths: What is United Nations law on Self Determination.?
Pls go and take a look at it again
If you have honor, you won't force yourself on a people who are fed up with you. But your political leaders and lawmakers whom you elected to represent you have never told anyone that they are tired of Nigeria or want a Biafra. ....How then do you expect anyone to take this struggle serious? |

medpren: Anthony sani another Middle belter slave being used by fulani, when his masters massacre his he'll start running to ICC and UN. Anthony Sani is on a payroll. Every region has sell outs to the fulanis, make no mistake e. g Rochas Okorocha of the Southeast, Amaechi of the SouthSouth and many more in the SouthWest. |
