We are under the colonial masters!

salbis:
Nigeria would have been better off under the Colonial masters.

This is a large crowd. The hunger that the Political class employed to control the power has turned out to be a motivator for political action. Interesting times.

I wonder if the military will be deployed to the location.

That is the Nigerian way - they're no different from their British founders with regards to killing the people (or natives) whenever they step out of line. Sadly, supposedly, normal people will support such actions.

I hope the Nigerian illusion (or dream) of being a great nation can be laid to rest now. This colony has, time after time, reminded the indigenous peoples of their place. Its time to consider dismantling the nations to ensure progress of its people.

Other people's land? hope you know there are igbos in River's state.

There are plenty Igbos in that crowd!

Very smart tribe


Protesting in other people's land but shunning protest in their own land

These are fast learners - they've learned from the Commander in Chief ..."Nobody gives you... you grab it and run away with it.

Some protesters looting NCC office at audu Bako secretariat

It shouldn't matter that the opposition supported the policy - it has been shown to be economically ineffective and adversely affecting the poor. You should lend your voice to condemn it and not deflect the issue.

Throwback:
Oppressor because a policy all, top presidential candidates supported was implemented?

It seems ECOWAS is bluffing because its on the world stage and Niger should call their bluff. Fake news in Nigeria of immediate invasion. ECOWAS asked the service chiefs to activate a stand by force but they will still seek diplomacy first, military intervention is a last resort. Did anyone listen to the meeting. Media hello.

Why are our leaders not respected in these countries? This would never happen in the reverse case, they would be treated so well. Obi needs to not leave the country until after the tribunal if he can.

Please no more fighting. Just erect fences and be done with all this. The fence can be sticks, wood, wire or even cement if money is no object. Simple...

AAC is that even a party anyone took or will take notice of in Rivers especially after events of the military on 11/03/19. Stop lying to yourselves, Wike is and will always be the only candidate on that ballot paper, all Rivers people know that, even Nigerians know that, even some foreign countries know this. So who are you kidding with all this useless delay, just wasting yours our time. No amount of delay, investigating, commissions etc can change or allow you spin this one ooh .

As long as blood flows through the veins of men; so will it flow in the rivers of unjust nations.

In the end, Biafra will come

And like director says - 'We must continue'

However, I hope this conversation is not hijacked by the so called intellectual class - in other words - the elite class.

This class has prospered under Nigerian rulership and should not be allowed to control the conversation.

Nevertheless we welcome their input on equal terms with other Biafran classes.

Buhari and Nigeria's case can be likened to a couple in marriage counseling who were told to ask each other one question to understand why the husband beats up the wife.

Wife's question to husband - Why do you always beat me up, even on a very small matter?
Husband replies - Because you are very stubborn and don't listen to me.

Husband's question to wife - Why are you so stubborn, you did not even listen to your mother when she told you not to marry me?
Wife replies - because I thought you would change.

You are biafra, your name is biafra and at the same time you are a Nigerian?


These confused and misguided ipobs with zero sense of identity and belonging sef.

Hausa's refer to themselves as Arewa constantly e.g. AYC

Yoruba's do the same with Oduduwa e.g. OPC

And the Igbo's - Biafra.

There is no identity crisis here.

The only crisis is remaining in an unworkable Nigeria. Where criminals, e.g. Fashola, are political heroes.

We Biafrans want out and make no pretence of it.

OfBiafra.

aresa:
You brought up and discredited solar programs in Lagos to discredit and challenge my comments about 14 new solar power plants agreement singed by Fashola at the federal level. PERIOD. Unless you did that for pointless, meaningless and absent minded reasons.


Fashola have singed tons of contracts and achieved so much in return that he remains the most accomplished leader in the history of Nigeria. Let me know if you need facts because I have a whole lot to kill you with.

Bringing up irrelevant arguments that has nothing to do with what you are arguing against means you are void of any capacity to read and comprehend what you read so go back to elementary school to lean how to read and comprehend simple English words..

I don't even know why an ipob and biafrud is killing himself over Nigerian issue?

Sadly, I'm still an Nigerian (although against my will ) and that gives me the right to comment on Nigerian matters.

As a Nigerian (although under duress ) I simply called out another crook within our political class of criminals.

As per Fashola being the most accomplished leader in the history of Nigeria - even the best of a bad bunch may be below average.

Plus, I think you are taking this entire conversation rather personally and I cannot match that with my passive interest in the matter.

So, I'll leave you be.


By the way, you may want to correct your spellings of signed.

aresa:
1. You challenged my comments hence you still talking about other irrelevant nonsense that has nothing to do with my comment about 14 new power plants. You brought up solar programs in Lagos state, I did not so stop lying.

2. There is a clear difference between Solar programs in schools and clinics in Lagos state and federal power infrastructure contracts so where is the connection or the meaning of your apple and orange, pointless and illogical argument?

3. Have you visited the schools and clinics with the solar program in Lagos state before making your baseless comments about their functionality? Of course you haven't, just ignorant and baseless rant.

4. Your views about politicians in Nigeria is your opinion and I'm not interested in such nonsense so you are on your own..


If you can not dispute my initial comment about 14 new power plants, please keep quiet and go away..

It may help if you read my first post again. I did not challenge the signing.

What I highlighted, when I quoted you, was that Fashola, like other politicians, was in the habit of signing grand agreements with no results afterwards.

But alas, your blind love for Fashola has impacted your comprehension.

In any-case, enjoy your flag offs in darkness.

I'm not interested in your pointless nonsense...If you want to discuss solar power in lagos schools and clinics, start your own thread and I'll meet you there with facts, but this is about you ignorantly challenging my comments that Fashola singed agreements for 14 new solar power plants..


Does the unintelligent rubbish you keep derailing with means Fashlola did not sign agreements for 14 new solar power plants like I stated?

Did he sign agreements for 14 new power plants? Yes or nO?

I never challenged your comment concerning the signing. Actually I believe an agreement was signed.

My point was that these sort of agreements have been signed before by this same crook with no results to show for it.

However in your haste to defend your political icon, you misconstrued my argument.

So, I'll make myself even clearer so you do not get it twisted.

Fashola, like EVERY other Nigeria politician, is a crook and a thief.

Its no coincidence that they are the richest class of Nigerians. They simply sign these agreements to get richer.

Crooks and thieves, the lot of them.

I hope you get it now?

OfBiafra.

aresa:
You are old news just like the rubbish you posted. Solar power in Lagos under Fashola was for schools and clinics and has nothing to do with what I posted which was just signed last month so go away with your silly trash...



ipob illiterates feeling funky on the internet...

Your stupidity is outstanding.

Do schools and clinics in Lagos have regular power supply as we speak?

Yet Fashola (Lagos governor) flagged off solar power then. And now, Fashola (super minister) flags off solar power for Nigerians.

Its only a fool that repeats the same action and expects a different result.

Fashola was a crook then and still a crook now. This solar power crap was a ruse then and still a ruse now.

Its your choice to remain a fool. However I expect the same result - Darkness.

lol @ grasp of the English language. after ignorantly asking why the works minister was talking about roads?

Smart you are not ..

16 years of PDP and looted $20 billion power funds and 55 years of Nigerian as a country couldn't give us stable electricity even after Jona your uncle sold our power infrastructures to his cronies, but Fashola after barely 1 year in office without all the PDP looted funds can give you stable power...


Let me educate you since you are used to ignorance...

Under Fashola and first time in the history of Nigeria, we generated over 5000MW last February, something your PDP uncles with all their looted funds couldn't do in 16 years...


Barely a year in office, Fashola singed agreements to build 14 solar power plants, something your PDP uncles with all their looted funds couldn't do in 16 years...


Abeg stop boring us with your elementary school rant...

Fashola is a smooth operator, but no less a crook like every other Nigerian politician.

This solar power shenanigan na old news.

Solar power projects have been flagged off by Fashola. Millions have been sunk into it, however power remains a dream.

I don't expect anything different, this time, from this smooth criminal.

Crooks and thieves the lot of them.

Don't waste your breath. These religious empires know their priorities quite well.

The first, and maybe the only, priority is wealth creation for their empires. Unemployed men cannot help them realise this priority.
Worse still, women that marry unemployed men may now have less to give towards its realisation.

In light of this - I suppose the overseers advise may be good advise after-all.

omofunaab:
But why do you think yorubas didn't call you cowards when fahsola came visiting? Ans : Because we think it's senseless to say a man can't move about in this country. Besides this is not GEJ'S era where soldiers will prevent a sitting governor from entering a state in Nigeria

I agree with you that the calling of names should stop, but Fashola apologised to Ndigbo and all was forgiven.

Biafra leadership.
I am of the opinion that's the reason why the igbo nation have failed so far is bad leadership... Won't this same politicians we have hijack the new country and still rule us? ? Someone will say that's won't happen we will get new faces... And I ask... Why don't we get these new faces and get them into power and test run their leadership?

Your concerns here are very real, albeit misguided. It is important to put this concern in the context of the current leadership in Nigeria. Nigeria does not have good leader either, hence Biafra cannot be worse off if we leave Nigeria.

Igbo investment outside Biafra .
It's on record that we igbos have the highest investment outside our region in Nigeria... Since we hate our neighbours so much.. . Do we forsake all our trillions In investment outside our region and come back home??
Even if we decide to remain out side Biafra.. The Nigerian government can chase us away. . We did it to Ghanaians.. . Zimbabwe just did Same. . So it can be done... what would we fall back to??

Firstly, we don't hate our neighbours. WE are the ones that have been killed, unjustly, by our neighbours and are aggrieved, and rightly so. However, on your related point - our neighbours that love us so much should not be threatening to claim our legally acquired possessions in the event of a breakup. If they however make a claim it may be the price of freedom and Nationhood for Biafrans.
And to your statement 'what do we fall back on'?; the answer - we start to build. We build on what we already have on ground at the moment and take it from there. Remember what is ours is ours, nobody will lay a claim to it in the future.

Less market for igbos .
We igbos love to trade and moving out of Nigeria means.. Less free market.. imagine of Kano start denying us visa to trade in their market. ..Imagine igbos not having access to alaba.. Who will be our market??

We may likely lose our positioning in their markets initially, but in the long run we will trade with ALL our neighbours on agreed terms. Trade transcends boundaries - racial or otherwise.

importation and exportation .
Onless we bring along the akwa ibom and cross River we are doomed (as for the ijaws... They rather live with North than igbos).. . We would have no access to the sea. .. imagine if Israel was land locked.. . The would have been history now...

We will find a way, access to sea or not - Germany is a case in point.

Electricity .
If Biafra get independent today.. what is our installed capacity?? . ... Yes we have the potential but we're will the money come from to build the power plants...
Are we ready to live in darkness for years till the plants are built? ?

We will be no worse off. Nigeria has not provided electricity either.

Revenue.
This is a very important question, what is the estimated revenue for this Biafra, what is the revenue estimate for this country will 40% pay the salary?? Or will we have to borrow to pay salaries?? I need answers to this.

I'm not sure I totally understand you. Assuming the revenue you are referring to is state funds - we will pay what we have and when we earn more we pay more. Also we have mineral deposits in the regions and we will exploit it. Also, we will develop our human resources.
Remember, we will not be worse off - Nigeria also under exploits its resources also.

Any body who is rational and lebral will understand that Biafra as it is today is not an option.. . We need to remain in Nigeria as we have more to gain from this country

I am rational and believe Biafra is an option to be explored based on the reasons I have stated above.

While we hold our leaders responsible for our lack of development
T. A orji we all know is a theif yet we celebrated him and gave him cheiftency tiles and sent him to the Senate to loot again, the list is endless
If nnamdi Kanu is popular.. Let him run for Abia governorship let's see his leadership style... .
Roaches was good then because we never tested him. .. Now we have seen his true colour... Let's not fall victim to some few people's selfish interest

A majority of the Senate are considered to be criminals anyway, so T A Orji will fit in just fine, if he's also a thief. But with Biafra we surely have a new senate and a CHANCE to curb stealing. And if we don't - we will not be worse off.
The worse case scenario is that we will become like Nigeria - a corrupt despotic state, ruled by criminals with no visions for its people or the nation as a whole.

Supporting Biafra is supporting a chance to break from the current vicious cycle we currently find in Nigeria. Nigeria is colonial relic. The idea the colonisers (Britain) had behind Nigeria's amalgamation was to organise its so-called savage people for efficient exploitation. Nigerian leaders have upheld that tradition exceptionally well. Nigerian leaders have also exploited our collective resources for their benefits.
The call for Biafra is a noble cause. Seeking the dissolution of a despotic state like Nigeria should be a duty for every Biafran because its embodies hope for the betterment of our people.

Rossikk:
I mean, other races have a history of barbaric religious practices which they eventually abandoned for more humane worship - thus 're-packaging' their religions. In fact their religions killed far more people than African faiths. Which religion compares to the hideous wholesale massacres perpetrated by European Christians in their various slaughterfests titled 'Crusades', and 'Inquisitions'? Who can vie with Arab Muslims in their mad rampages across various nations in bloody Jihads? What about the chilling mass sacrifice rituals of the Hindu Indians? The Shintoists of old Japan? Compared to these faiths, African religion is a moral giant, laden with multitudes of spiritual insights and attributes. Yet it lies abandoned, snubbed, spat on, and derided by a degenerate, morally bankrupt, colonised, brainwashed, ignorant collection of reprobate buffoons who call themselves modern Africans. Today, these 'Africans', suffering massive colonial hangover, see nothing good in their ancient philosophies and faiths. Nothing worth researching about them. Their gods must be white and imported, or they will not 'believe'. They feel they must travel OUT of Africa to worship God effectively, in pilgrimages to Mecca, Jerusalem, etc. God cannot possibly have a holy land in Africa, can he? Nah.... It must be in the white man's lands. In Europe. In Arabia.

Who will save us from this madness? Better still, How do we cure ourselves of this madness?

Hi Rossikk,

I'll like to address some sections of your post, mostly concerning the title and the bolded, from a Christian and Islamic faith perspective.


The religions of Islam & Christianity were alien to many Islamic and Christian nations today. These nations were converted by force or through the threat of force; similar to the proliferation of these faith in African countries. Europeans and Arabs, like Africans, were "idol worshippers" before their "glorious" conversion.

Also, I completely disagree with you that these nations repackaged these new faiths. As noted, these faiths were mainly introduced by force of war or extreme coercion, which leaves very little room to negotiate any terms of adoption. Plus, the chief aim of these monotheist religion is the total annihilation of any existing faiths.

As concerning pilgrimage, the economic and psychological importance of this activity mandates its observance in most religious faith. I don't see why the Christianity and Islam should be any different.

Of Biafra.

Nonsensical propaganda, at least in the case of the UK, USA and Russia.

Please take your time to consider their security details before making ludicrous claims. These criminals will never walk alone.

And even if they did, these thieving western leaders and their countries can be likened to a king that has impoverished his people (other nations) and then walks freely in his fenced city.

In any case, they never walk or appear in public without extensive security precautions - equal to budgets of some small countries. They only take these pictures for propaganda purposes - don't be fooled.

Consider these quotes from Dele's write up

President Buhari possesses the ability to move this country in the right direction and lead us to where we want to be... and

..... The major problem is that the priorities of Buhari were never palpable to the general public as everything seemed to operate in utmost secrecy.

Dele would have done well to tell us exactly what Buhari's direction may be, although I suspect he does not know. In which case he will be similar to most Nigerians. Then again, Buhari and his team may also not know.

In any-case Dele recommends true federalism in mitigating the dire situation Nigeria finds itself. A half-baked solution to Nigeria's foundational problems. Firstly, it is a fallacy to believe, that Buhari, with his limited appreciation for democratic principles or indeed his lack of respect for it, will be persuaded to deliver true federalism. Secondly, I don't believe that true federalism will make a difference to Nigeria's current situation.

However what concerns me is that a supposedly intelligent person (e.g. Dele) is comfortable to remain within a nation that he does not know it's general direction and he cannot request or demand it. Rather cautiously recommending an alternative that has already been relegated to the archives. This position smirks of cowardice.

Anyway, the so-called true federalism delays the emergence of suppressed nations within the Nigerian political space. Most of these nations share commonalities that make them agree on a general direction they deem best for their peoples'. These nations must be free to make all their own laws and demand answers from their leaders without fear. This shame of having to banter with an oppressive colonial relic called Nigeria can no longer suffice.

Biafra, being one of these nations, is agitating for self determination and not true federalism. I suppose Dele (and his likes) may be bold enough to demand something similar for their Oduduwa nations someday.
