Igbos aside, Trust me you won't love state of emergency in anambra. most of what the op said about soldiers activities is true but worse. if they suspect you harboring a terorist & you refused to co-operate to point him out. All young men that fit his description will be arrested, if the said terorist is a killer, I assure all those men no matter how many will be killed completely. this is something i have witness several times.

Just whatever you people from anambra do, Avoid state of emergency.

And all naija soldiers think thesame way wether an abok#, flatin# or afonj# . they are extremely united & not care about tribalistic issues just like our thieving politicians

Which state of emergency....... Asif you don't know that that would be the worst thing they government can do 2 itself.....and if election those not hold the governor would still be legitimate till the day that the sworn him in(between that time something could be done) moreover the worst thing that they could even do was too prospond the elections.

Or as if all the times political parties boycotted elections any state of emergency was declared.

nwaanambra1:
ATTENTION NDI ANAMBRA GBURUGBURU!

For those shouting no election in Anambra State - especially those among you who are from our state, have you even sat for a moment and thought about the implications of boycotting election in Anambra State?

Well, based on the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria - which Anambra state is still part of, discouraging or hindering people from exercising their franchise in an election is classified as treason and in some cases terrorism.

we all know that many people will want to go and vote so as to chose who will govern them- but based on the high number of ipob touts deployed to anambra state by nnamdi kanu, many people out of fear of being victimized will chose to stay indoors - just like it happened during the previous stay at home order by ipob. forcing people to stay indoors is classified as terrorism - that's a crime against the state.

WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL DO WHEN THE ELECTION IS BOYCOTTED

If ipob led by nnamdi kanu succeeds in forcing people not to exercise their franchise during the elections by staying at home, the federal government will declare at state of emergency in Anambra State - the constitution will be suspended for as long as it takes to restore order - which may last for more than two or three years.

A military administrator from the north will be appointed to govern Anambra State for the period the state of emergency will be in place.
curfew will be declared from dusk till down - and anything that moves in between those periods will be shot at - and shot to kill.

Nigerian soldiers will be deployed in the entire south east but especially in Anambra State. This military occupation will last for an upward of two to three years. Anambra state will be fully governed by the military.

THE IMPACT OF STATE OF EMERGENCY ON NDI ANAMBRA

If state of emergency is declared in Anambra State even for one week, the impact will be so devastating that we may not recover from it for the next five years! how much more if it lasts for a year! don't forget that terrorism and hunting down terrorist doesn't just end in a week or months!

the federal might will be in Anambra for nothing less than one year and during these period, all the economic advancement made by ndi Anambra and its various active governors starting from Ngige down to peter obi and being consolidated by Obiano will all be destroyed!

the vibrant economy being jealously guided by ndi Anambra will be striped to shreds by the invading army! Anambra State will be looted to the ground!

we all know the modus operandi of the Nigerian security apparatus - which is shoot then ask questions later, many ndi Anambra will lost their lives for the simple reason that they were walking too fast while going to buy bread - the casualties will be too much that it may end up touching every household in anambra state!

the army will use Anambra State for Target practice - they can target your house and bomb it - or even your entire village and bomb it and claim that it is the hideout of ipob terrorist - if they can do it in borno which is their state how much worse do u think they will do to an infidel state in an infidel land! they will rape our fine girls, kill our young men and mess our vibrant cities and villages!

And guess what? nothing will happen! you know why? because we are in a state of emergency - the constitution has been suspended. human rights is now totally on hold! anything goes!

WHAT IPOB WILL DO NEXT WHEN STATE OF EMERGENCY IS DECLARED IN ANAMBRA STATE

After the declaration of the state of emergency in Anambra State, all the imported ipob touts will disappear from Anambra State as fast as their legs will carry them! then the army will begin to kill innocent ndi Anambra youths who are never members of ipob and brand them ipob terrorist (once the state of emergency is declared, the securities will stop calling them touts and miscreants but will start calling them terrorists).

the ipob miscreants will relocate to Enugu State and start their protest there - do u know why Enugu state?

because the Abia and Imo miscreants are too smart to expose their state to such anarchy! they will never take their protest to Abia and Iimo State! ask yourself - how many times have they taken their protest to Imo or Abia State? they hold their peaceful meetings in Abia and Imo but hold their riotous protest in anambra and enugu and port harcourt!

you know why? because an average Imo and Abia man are so self centered and naturally jealous of any one ahead of them! if truth be told, Anambra and Enugu state are so far ahead of these two states and are advancing faster than they can catch up hence their desire to destroy it - by the time they are done destroying Anambra and Enugu and are heading towards port-harcourt, things would av been settled and no harm will come upon their states of Abia and Imo!

after destroying Anambra - they will face Enugu and do same to it.

BY THE TIME THE HEAT IS HOT AND KANU IS DECLARED WANTED - HE WOULD AV TAKEN OFF WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY AND HEAD BACK TO EUROPE THRU THE BACK EXIT AND LEAVE OTHERS TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE INVADING ARMY!

whenever a man talks and brags that he will defend something with his life - believe me there lies a liar and a coward who will never make any sacrifice with his goat talk less of his life! Pete Edochie.

NDI AMANBRA - WHERE IS OUR SENSE OF PRIDE IN OUR STATE? WHERE IS THE WISDOM WE ARE KNOWN FOR?

My question to any one joining in shouting no election in Anambra state is - is this what you want for our dear state?

Is the fake struggle for Biafra worth destroying our state which we have worked so hard to raise it to this level?

I will advice each and every one of our indegenes joining nnamdi kanu to please go and read up history - biafran civil war destroyed mostly only Anambra and Enugu State - the present day Abia and Imo states were relatively left untouched - hence it is still a mystery to the people of these two states how we survived the destruction so fast and still leap ahead of them!

Do not let history to repeat itself in our state again!

CHARITY THEY SAY BEGINS AT HOME! LET NNAMDI KANU START HIS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE FROM ABIA STATE!

IF NNAMDI KANU WANTS TO CREATE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE LET HIM START FROM ABIA STATE! LET HIM START BY UNSEATING THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF IKPEAZU - AFTER DOING THAT, WE WILL JOIN HIM IN STOPPING DEMOCRACY IN OTHER EASTERN STATES!

Ndi Anambra please open your eyes! use your God given brain which we are known to possess in abundance in Anambra State!

DON'T LET NNAMDI KANU USE OUR STATE FOR HIS IPOB EXPERIMENT!

NDI ANAMBRA IBEM! PLEASE DON'T ALLOW NNAMDI KANU AND HIS IMPORTED IPOB TOUTS TO DESTROY OUR STATE WHICH WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO UPLIFT!



UDO DIRI ANAMBRA!

ANAMBRA ADI GO NMA!

I know that every tribe has their negative side so no tribe can claim to be a conclave of saints. While Igbos can be said to be chest beater, Yorubas are seen as hypocritical, I still have not come to terms with why ipob miscreants are so angry with Yoruba concerning the loss of Jonathan during the 2015 election.
How well did GEJ treat Yoruba to deserve their 100 percent vote?
Again did Yoruba have any agreement with GEJ that he will get their 100 percent vote? And if not, why call them backstabbers over their choice of Buhari?
Why are you ipob so silly and messing up?
You people are touts that's why igbos like me can't identify with you people.
You people behave like mumu towards anything that your chief tout Nnamdi Kanu says . Please stop messing up.
For those of you who may think i am a Yoruba or i am defending Yoruba, you can go thru my profile . I hate evil whether its coming from Igbo or Yoruba or any tribe. Ipob pls respect yourselves.

Bro(that is if you are really Igbo oo ) nobody hate Yoruba's because of any 2015 election shii or whatever .......Igbo's call them backbiters mainly because of the civil war and the way they carry Biafra matter for their head but Igbo's still prefer them to Fulani Muslim

modsfucker:


Then why waste time on PVC queue

In the queue you saw how many people where there

Even if those people come out and vote it won't change anything ...
It would still be taking that no election held that day because more than two third of the population most vote before it is considered legitimate

NwaAmaikpe:


That is Biafra's first female President

And she is from south south oo
Later when we include them in our map...they would say all we just want is their oil

WOW.....nice writeup


Ipob really need to consult south south before including them in it's map


The funny thing about Nigeria is that after everything they won't still agree for restructuring.......the north would do everything to keep on enjoying the free money from south south.

Just watch and see.........when buhari comes back you would see what he would do.
It would even be then that I would pity them.......there was even a man of God that said something about this stuff..... Something about it turning to a revolution (not as if I really believe all this pastors sha) but thinking of it....if ipob successfully pulls this anambra election shii ...........this agitation would most likely turn into a revolution
And if that happens there would be no going back or restructuring again .....it would be Biafra or nothing

They funny thing is that in as much as I don't really like ipob but this election ain't holding

That's just the painful Truth

For goodness sake why can't you people understand the differences between referendum and war



This was actually a very good writeup but I stop reading when the op said something about ojukwu carrying his people to war just because for his ego and that he only met with two people before carrying us to war........for goodness sake ojukwu was no god neither was he perfect but he was a typical Igbo.......very prideful......but also very intelligent


Chill for goodness sake do you actually think an Igbo man is like a Hausa man that is willing to just sacrifice his life without due cost that someone can just come and convince to go to war like that and he would stupidly go when knowing that he would certainly just die..

I'm point is that every body knows that one of the reason why ojukwu carried us to war was because of ego but that was only one of the secondary causes of the war for goodness sake what about the pogrom ........what about the aburi accord....or did Gowon himself not promise not to use war as a means to resolve the case.....for goodness sake go and Read about the aburi accord before saying nonsense
There was even a topic opened about it here self
https://www.nairaland.com/334770/famous-aburi-conference-full-minute

Because it is obvious you know nothing about anything that happened during the war

You are here saying it is just because of ego ..what about the thousands of Igbo's killed in the north during the pogrom......please just keep shut if you don't know what to write... As if it was not already obvious that Igbo's where no longer welcome in Nigeria before ojukwu declared Biafra or asif the ojukwu you are talking about did not agree too accept Gowon as his leader during the aburi accord if Gowon agreed to implement what was agreed in the conference or is that one also ego or was it ojukwu's fault that Gowon was not as intelligent as he was or that Gowon did not prepare well for the conference.




And also in the book you read I.e there was a country.....please when was it ever said that ojukwu met only two people before decelaraing Biafra or was it not in that same book that it was even mentioned that he was mandated to declare Biafra by the military whatever in the east and traditional rulers



Chill you say you are Igbo ...so tell me with all your pride and love for good things can someone ever actually convince you to go and fight war without weapons ehhh


And yet the whole Eastern region agreed to go and fight this war when the knew that the did not even have weapon so it was more like a suicide missions and yet the fought for three years and you think that it wasn't obvious that that was there only option.
There was even a topic once opened here about CNN documentation about Biafra......... So how hungry the were yet the were steal singing Biafra songs and hailing ojukwu.......or do you really think that Igbo's are actually that foolish that the don't know when someone is fooling them or even KANU ..you actually think that if it becomes obvious that to get Biafra another war must start.....you really think KANU would still have all this his popularity........and yet you really think ojukwu just carried us to war and we just went when we knew that it wasn't our only options.....smh


Or chill self have you ever in this world seen when someone would lose a war and would still be celebrated by the people that he carried to war.................so according to you ojukwu carried us to war because of ego and he is still celebrated to the extent that anambra state university is named after him.......the only reason that agpa has popularity is because of him

Sha you are entitled to your own opinion but free advice don't ever come to the open in east like in Onitsha main market and say this shii

ocelot2006:



Same way our states were "in charge" during the 1st civil war when your forcefully took minority territories and marginalized our groups? No thank you.

Please which minority territories did we take and when did we marginalized south south during the war
How is that even possible when the 2nd in command was from south south
And I hope the territories you are talking about was not when we invade Yoruba land......because when I last checked the weren't minorities and the reason why we did it was even to help liberty Yoruba so the would form there own country and withdraw there people from the Nigeria army
So place when have we ever invaded south south minorities before.

akandi4u:
I have read of several threads here on nairaland mentioning the Six south south oil producing state as part of Biafra, yet these state have come out openly to say that the are not part of Biafra and shouldnt be included in the Biafra map.

Is it that the biafra(n) is really interested in the oil from South South that the dont want to have biafra without the Six South South state?

If there are not interested in our oil and hope to use the resources from their domain to develop their land, they should just go ahead and leave SS states alone. We the SS state dont want to be part of biafra, I dont want to be a biafran, We dont want to be part of biafra....go and leave us alone out of this. We the SS will have our own republic when its time.

Please for the hundredth time .....WE DO NOT NEED YOUR OIL ....INFACT IS OIL NOT ALSO IN OJI RIVER AND IMO



if you don't know .know now ...the only reason why we actually want you guys to be part is because
1....because there are some igbo areas in south south
2.....fear of been a landlock country that is surrounded by your own enemy
3.....access to sea
4.......and market
5.......population(there is strength in numbers)



After all in Biafra true federalism would be practice and that mean that your state is 100 percent in charge of your natural resources and would pay 30 percent of its money to the federal government.....

That is if you are actually from south south sha

dyydxx:


What makes it illegitimate even if let's assume there is 70% boycott? Please explain the reasoning? 70% have basically disenfranchised themselves.... why can't IPOB put down a candidate and let the 70% vote for him. Why can't IPOB work the political process and change things from the inside?

And if they do it just watch and see afonja would start saying he is just going after political post


Sha to me what the want to do is the best because international commity is always watching

This fuvk is trash
This is just like carrying a child's 1000naira then when he starts crying for food you would now give him 300 to buy food


If not that you are late I would have loved to insult you but we fuvking betrayed us for all I care..........we never ask you for you 20 pounds......all we wanted was our Biafra and for all I know you took it from us.



For goodness sake you were a prisoner and we released you and then you proved to us why we should never trust an afonja

You are here talking about 20 pound and us suffering ......what about they millions of our brothers that died because of you betrayal...... And you are still trying to justify what you did.

Or as if a sorry would have not been enough but you are here foolishly trying to justify you wrong and later an afonja would come and shout 1 Nigeria and be wondering why they Igbo's haven't fashied Biafra
Sha may you soul rest in peace amen

mekaboy:
Biafra a country without a plan. This single question can even lead to a war that will destroy the nation of Biafra. Will oil in Niger Delta be used to develop Anambra or Enugu if it becomes capital?

This question have been answered times without number
The oil from Niger delta would be used to develop Niger delta alone whether Enugu is capital or anambra .........that is if they agree too join us sha.



I don't know why you guys always mistake something about this Biafra and Niger delta ..........you people don't understand that the only reason why we actually want them is mainly because of access to sea, population and because they are some areas with Igbo people there.

If you even notice anytime you see an Igbo man talking about how Biafra can survive without they south south he or she would always be talking about how nations that are landlock are surviving or nations that are small in population and not about how nations that don't have oil are surviving.

mrvitalis:

This is flowed in the facts that Lagos too could have chosen to relax n wait for allocation but it didn't

Why are no state following Lagos

How much is allocated to Lagos compared to any other Igbo state
Since the 2017 budget allocation. North central was allocated about 203 billion why the south east was allocated only 28 billion ..............and you want them to develop at the same rate or even still is it because of Lagos governor that Lagos is that developed or because it was former capital and its access to sea that is attracting investors

mrvitalis:

mrvitalis:


Why are there not competition between Lagos and other states ??

They reason why there Is no competition is simple
The federal government gives allocation to each state so no state have to struggle to survive because after everything the government would still give it there daliy bread so thereby making these governors jx stupidily lazy
Or jx see it like these.. ....you have 3 sons and a 3 differently farm land.....you then divide it to they 3 of them that is each having 1 farm land to himself than every month you give them money and maybe tell the first one to buy yam and plant....tell the second to buy corn and plant and tell the third to buy beans......after the month end you collect back the harvested products and give them another money to buy another set of items
Or you give each of them there land and tell them to use all of there available resources and do whatever with there land both at the end of the month they most pay you a certain amount of money and then the can keep the remaining change
Which of them do you actually think would succeed more maybe not at first both in the future
They one that the father gives him money to eat everytime and tells him just what to plant or the one that the father gives him everything at once and tells him to develop his ability to its highest both if he fails he wont have anything to eat that month both if he succeeds he would even have excess for himself








If the are to practice through federalism. They importance are first
1. Every state would be totally independent from oil i.e no more oil for north or east or west so every state would have to reach the height of her potentials like the north would have to go back to thier agriculture i.e like their groundunts. They east would have to develop their industrial skills and technical know how And develop the small oil the have. The west would have to focus on How to turn thier place into a foreign attraction center. They the south south would have their oil to themselves



2. Nobody would beable to say that they federal government is not threating them equally because the federal government wont be incharge of given allocations or whatever


3.they call for biafra would die out immediately because they igbos wont have any other excuses for wanting to leave because if they say that the government is not been fair to them nobody would even listen to them again because now they are totally incarge of developing themselves


4.power strugle would reduce very well because the central would not be attractive atall again because it would now be only incharge of national security international matters and other minor things


5. Each state would develop its citizen to its highest to ensure its continual survival and each states would develop according to its resources and not on the budget allocation allocated to it by the federal government like for instance see dubai and uae because uae pratice true federalism that is why dubai could develop this much without any form of restrictions .so place like Lagos anambra Enugu port Harcourt kano would be develop fully without a restrictions whatsoever.. For instance see the 2017 budget they amount given to kano Alone is almost more than that given to the whole south east .so how do you really expect this state to develop



6. It would also reduce corruptions seriously....... Because now people would know it is either do or die for them because governors won't even beable to blame the Federal government for not paying salaries or unemployment or these is 1 reason why I know that if the form Biafra it won't be as corrupt as Nigeria is because like nobody would want another state to be better than them for instance do you think that with all Igbo pride someone from abia would want Enugu to be better or someone from Enugu would want ananmbra to be better so in Nigeria case do you think Igbo and their pride would allow north that the consider as fools or one of their greatest rivals the Yoruba to be better than them or even they south south or you expect the north with there population and mentality that the are meant to rule allow Igbo's that the hate to be better than them or even Yoruba's that they actually just live using or even Yoruba's or south south with all the oil allow any state to become better than them...........thereby starting all a chain of competition which would lead to faster development



7.even the insure of security would reduce because every state would ensure that it is very secure in other to attracte foreign investors


There are really so many both I'm actually really tired if not I'm sure it would even reach twenty or so

ajayidayo2012:
By Olaitan Ladipo… There is a Yoruba saying that when a one-legged man sends his son to the market to buy him one shoe, it is an invitation to insults. When other people are tolerant of your shortcomings, it is foolish to push your luck.
Yesterday 14 June 2017, Nigeria woke to news report of yet another declaration, this time from the Southeast, titled 2019: Igbo youths demand presidency or Biafra. A group calling itself Ohaneze Youth Ndigbo Council (OYC) declared that “the South East will not accept any position less than a President of Igbo extraction in 2019”.

Most people would ordinarily dismiss this laughable declaration as youthful exuberance, even with the knowledge that many of Nigeria’s so called youth organisations are populated by grandfathers in their sixties. Already, some commentators have described the announcement disdainfully as a propagandist attempt to divert attention from Igbo elders practically on their knees in front of Arewa Professor Ango Abdullahi in Kaduna. Such is the silliness of Nigeria’s politics today.

However, the prominence accorded to this story by the Sun, a newspaper that claims, and is generally recognised, to be the ‘voice of the [Biafra] nation’ and the Vanguard, another pro-Igbo newspaper, is an indication that the people of the Southeast take the group and their announcement seriously. In that context, it is reasonable to assume that [majority of] Igbo people support the group’s ultimatum.

This insensate declaration closely follows the sit-down order imposed a few days earlier in Southeast towns by Mr Nnamdi Kanu’s Indigenous Peoples of Biafra. That naked coercion is cited by Fulani leadership as the main reason for declaring, a few days ago, their own provocative notice to the Igbo to quit the entire North.

Despite the inanity of this new ultimatum by the Igbo, one must admit that it is simply, yet another one of a string of absurdities currently plaguing Nigeria’s polity.

Read also: Fear: How Ndigbo Can Convert Retreat Into Advance

One such absurdity is the promise yesterday by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to bring perpetrators of the hate ultimatum issued to the Igbo to book, considering that seated right there in front him at the meeting was perhaps the worst of the culprits, old Fulani gadfly Professor Ango Abdullahi.

Having said that, a situation has been created whereby, once again, the question is being asked about the influence, or lack of it, of reasoned opinion in the Southeast. For at least three good reasons.

Firstly, it appears that the Igbo are not in a hurry to shed the reputation for starting what they cannot finish. They do not appear to have learnt anything since July 1967 about the futility of mere bluster, including rebel leader Emeka Ojukwu’s boast just before the war that “no power in black Africa can subdue me”. Even though the Igbo had good reason to break away, there were alternatives to war which Igbo leaders refused to utilise. Humanitarian supporters of the Igbo cause cautioned against the headlong rush to war, including Professor Wole Soyinka who warned that “bluff is not a substitute for bullets’.

Secondly, never before has it become this crucial that older Igbo generation begin to educate the younger ones truthfully about the history of the crises of Nigeria. It is prevalent among post civil-war Igbo to situate the genesis of Nigeria’s problems casually at the door of the Northern Nigeria pogroms of 1966.

That narrative callously ignores that the whole issue started when military thugs led by Igbo Majors Emmanuel Ifeajuna and Chukwuma Nzeogwu stole in the middle of the night to murder Northern Nigeria and Yoruba leaders in their beds and in front of their families. Subsequent revelations affirm that the murders were carried out at the behest of a few, and tacit approval of many, Igbo politicians of the day. No amount of propagandist rewriting of history by the likes of the late Chinua Achebe will change the truth.

One of the insults that the Igbo continue to slap onto the injury they did to the Yoruba on the night of 6 January 1966 is to believe somehow that the Yoruba are grateful that they murdered Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintọla. They believe also that the Yoruba would have been equally glad had they murdered his deputy, Chief Rẹ̀mí Fani-Káyọ̀dé, who was only saved by the skin of his teeth when Lieutenant Colonel Yakubu Gowon rescued him from his would-be Igbo murderers.

They are probably unaware of the Yoruba saying that however unruly a child might be, the parents would never hand him to the tiger to devour. Chief Akintọla, even though a rebel to the Yoruba national cause, was a brilliant Yoruba son. Akintola’s deputy, Rẹmi Fani-Kayọde, Queen’s Counsel QC and Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN, was one of the most brilliant lawyers ever to come out of Britain and Nigeria.

While the vengeful pogrom subsequently carried out in the North is inexcusable, there is no need for the Igbo to continue to scratch old wounds open by inspiring insensitive and deliberately provocative historical amnesia.

Thirdly, the statement exposes the hypocrisy and lip service that the Igbo pay to democracy. What the Igbo are demanding—undemocratic imposition of a President— is exactly what the progressive elements in the country have been fighting, and literally dying, for in the last sixty years. Of course, the Igbo would not know because they have hardly been part of that sacrifice in the same way and extent as other parts of the country like the Southwest, South-South and the Middle Belt.

As if nothing has happened in between, the Southeast are once again attempting to force Igbo leadership on the country like they did in 1966.

The same mindset apparently informs Igbo inability to play opposition role in a democracy. Chief Awolowo’s principled opposition to feudal hegemony and Yoruba commitment to democracy kept the Southwest in perpetual opposition for generations including even eight [of the twelve] years that Yoruba man Obasanjo was in government but not in power.

Despite their claim that “no Igbo has been allowed to get close to the seat of power for decades”, whatever they mean by that, it is an established fact that Goodluck Jonathan’s was all but in name an Igbo government. One of the biggest undermining of Nigeria’s new democracy is the way that so many leading Igbo members of that administration have decamped to the ruling All Progressives Party.

It is amazing that the group would cite President Obasanjọ’s statement to beg the Igbo, and Acting President Yẹmi Ọṣinbajo’s statement to keep the national marriage intact, as supporting grounds for their claim. The fact that these are elderly manner of dealing with a petulant child seems completely lost on the whole of Southeast. It makes you wonder the more where the numerous elder statesmen of Igbo land are.

https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/no-elders-left-igbo-land/

ThIs is actually a very good but bias write-up
They op blames igbo for the 1966 coup and achebe for trying to rewrite history which is obviously a lie and the igbo leaders for not seeking other means of peace before the civil war broke out when thousands of their brother's where been killed in the north wIth no response from the government.

And what about the aburi accord that they federal government totally abandoned or was it not meant to be another solution to Nigerias then problems than war or you are forgetting that it was one of the major cause of the war



And after all these obvious neglections the op still tries to shade the importance of the atrocities committed by they north during the pogam.....smh


And even if.....Yes the 1966 coup which started a chain of events which later lead to the death of millions was lead by an igbo man .......but forgetting the fact that he was brought up in kaduna and most of his accomplist where hausa men how would you punish thousand for the act of one man that those not even represent the voice of the thousands Or put it in this scenario......can i morally justify my action if i start killing my fellow Muslim brothers living in the east with me over one or two of my Igbo brothers that was killed in the north by boko harem.
And yet knowing all these facts that those who participated in the coup was not in any way representing the interest of anybody or group but still after 50 yrs we are still been blamed for the coup but Still expect us to take lightly the death of thousands of our innocent brothers and just live on our lives knowing that what the died for or even those on whose hands their death are on havent even shown the slightest of compassion for them.

And you are really expecting igbos to follow you hausas and shout one nigeria

What is wrong with this stupid op
Did ohaneze ndi igbo ever say the are supporting biafra
Or did u ever hear ipob say the are not longer interested in biafra. ....




So please what is your point

I always wonder why we igbos still want people from the riverine areas to be part of biafra.. ........i mean these set of people really have problems
Like for real always shouting that we igbos want to take thier oil as if we dont have our own or as if it is even going to be possible which the structure of government we want to pratice in our biafra. ....smh
Always looking for stupid reasons to insult igbos....jx imagine the reason the op gave as reason why he didnt want biafra.. .....like who really gives a Bleep about the name of the country even if we Still call it nigeria after seprating it would change anything or were the capital would be and even who our leaders would be.....i personally self have always wanted them to be tony emulelu and okongi iwela both of whom are from the riverine areas.
So please if you guyz dont really want to be part of our biafra then you can leave. nobody Is forcing anybody simple.. .
Yes self i know that we igbos always like to dominate like me personally if I'm in a Small group Or my group of friends want to do something i cant allow a hausa man to lead Me......may God forbid it
And i also know that certainly we would dominate you people if you people agree to come both i wonder which would be worst in our system of government where everybody develop themselves and there is little power in the central or nigeria with all they fulani and where the power is in the central.

Though IPOB happens to be the most serious seperatist group so far in the nation, the reactions of Igbos after the Kaduna declaration still makes one to ponder on the fact that if Biafra really want to secede or it's just a mere threat. This is a more golden opportunity to settle things once and for all, though the Northern youth has done it the akward way, we only need dialogue to settle this and not war, not violence, not victimization.






They igbos reaction after the kaduna deceleration was absolutely correct
I always wonder what people where actually expecting the igbos to do
After the decleration was there anytime ipob came out and start insulting they people that made the decleration or anything like that.
Or chill let me get you straight...... ...u where expecting the ones in the northern part of the country to immediately abadon there white collar jobs and immediately start coming back over some statement by some random unknown people....really?? .....so because they want biafra they should turn fools over night
Moreover check the groups that were against the statement and tell me how many there really represent igbo interest.....wasnt it only ohaneze ndi igbo that was even a little bit against it and it was only because it would have certainly resulted in war And about 80 percent of the igbos that dont want biafra is only becauseof fear that it would result in war abd some igbos are still on the fence between the decision of wether it is really biafra or restructuring the want.
Even still which other response where you expecting from the igbo or didnt u hear of the news that some igbo leaders where ready to send buses to go and bring back igbos that where willing to come back if not of the intervention of el rufai when he order those responsible of those statements arrested.

East and west
They north are everly meant 2 b parasite...always have nothing 2 contribute

Jx imagine if nairaland was only filled with people from the north.........imagine how dead it would b by now... .with about two third of the comments having grammatic errors

Super1Star:


Are you not relying on SS oil to develop your region under the South East Devt Comm?

Or is it the Groundnut money IGR you are generating that will fund it?

Don tell me about Abia and Imo, their total production per day is 27k barrel, which is even a far cry from Ondo's 60k barrel per day.

Y must you always think like the hausa fulani you are... ..if igbos depended on oil would they still Be agitating for restructuring.. .........you think every tribe is like you own that dnt know how to survive without begging the federal government for money

oladeebo:

yah!
you can't understand.
because you are hitting hard!
Some said kanu and ipob is a sponsored organisation by greedy politicians and that they didn't have interest in Biafra!
I disagree then, but now am 100% agree!
And for me kanu and ipob is lash!

I dnt agree that igbos are the ones that started the tribal war wIth Yoruba's
Any typical igbo must dislike hausa more than Yoruba's
But when u come 2 these nairaland and u see Yoruba's jubilating about how they are killing ipob protesters
I dnt really know what else u should expect 4rm igbos.
Me i personally always disliked hausas but Yoruba's just dnt want 2 mind there own business like most hausas here are doing . Always entering into every biafra matter

Henryyy:

Thanks for the bolded because when we claim igbos are hateful, your people tend to deny it. What evil did yorubas start, igbos started the e-tribal war so I don't seem to understand the evil you're talking about and trust me if igbos get biafra today 99.9% of yorubas will be more than happy. My own is your agitation for biafra is between you and the government don't try to drag yorubas into something of no value to us. stop sounding like we are the ones preventing you from getting biafra cause biafra is not our concern.
