You are making a big mistake.

If you get an asylum in the Uk, you are permitted to stay in the Uk for only 5 years.


After that, you will be sent home.

Infact to work, you need a work permit and can only work in jobs on the UK's shortage occupation list.

You are not sent home, if the problem for which you sought asylum in the first place, still exists.

Secondly, all these things you listed above, are not granted to visitor visa-bearers.

Igbos btw, prefer setting up their businesses, and with an asylum status, IPOBs will excel in those conditions.

But the main point here is the psychological blow to Nigeria, of this new policy by the home office. They seem to know about IPOB and MASSOB, and know that they are not terrorists.
It also means they know Nigeria is a police state, with brutal leaders who are unfairly marginalising the Igbos. UK knows that now. That is really the huge blow that Nigeria taken

thebosstrevor1:
We all know how hard is it to get an asylum visa than a normal visa.

Asylum visas come with so much stress that most people eventually give up.

The Uk granted asylum to Ipob terrorists on the ground that they must prove that they didn't incite violence or carried out violence, the Uk also acknowledges that Nigeria has the right to arrest and pesecute IPOB terrorists who incited and carried out violence. Let that be clear.

Anyway, it is not the first time the Uk have granted asylum visas to Nigerian.

During the bokoharam crisis, the UK and United states granted asylum visas to some Nigerians who they think must have been the victims of boko haram.

To be sincere, there is nothing special about this news. Joining IPOB terrorist group won't lead to automatic asylum visas, you also have to proof that you didn't participate in crime, now this is tricky, will the Nigerian government give IPOB terrorists documents like police clearance certificate and other documents they will need to apply for asylum? HELL NO

With refugee/asylum status, you are allowed to work and open up business. With ordinary visa, you can't

With refugee/asylum status, the government can even help you with getting housing. With ordinary visa, you can't

With refugee/asylum status, you are entitled to social security benefits. With ordinary visa, you are not entitled to them.

I know IPOB refugees will especially be happy with being able to open up businesses and working there.

criuze:
am hoping this recognition goes to the oduduwas too

I'm sure it will.

Be patient. It will definitely come. The reason it hasn't come yet is that the Nigerian state seem to only be persecuting the BIafrans

Eventually Igboho's nuisance will cause the Nigerian state to start persecuting Yorubas. This recognition will come at this point.

sojfarm:
They have to be very careful. Ordinarily, UK will not want a break up Nigeria.

It can be a well coordinated bait between the Fulani terror government and the masquarading Britain. Let them come out openly to support the seccession. Basic.

There are lots of questions for answers:

Why only IPOB out of all the Nationalities that filed for the Constitutional Force Majeure?

etc

I suppose it is because those that filed for the Constitutional Force Majeure are not being persecuted yet. I am sure the US, Canada and UK will extend this privilege to NINAS, once they feel the Nigerian government is persecuting members of the organisation.

thebosstrevor1:
We will hug the transformer on your behalf.

I hope you read the news well.

It wrote that


The UK acknowledges that the Nigerian government has a responsibility to maintain law and order, “to prevent and protect the public against acts of violence”.

It said where supporters or members of MASSOB or IPOB “have incited or used violence to disrupt public order, the government may have legitimate grounds to arrest and prosecute those people”.

But not if they are unfairly branded terrorists, in which case prosecution could easily be mistaken as persecution.
Also, everyone has a right to self defence and it is enshrined in the UN charter. Cry on

You lack understanding

Nigeriabiafra82:

Even seun will claim ipob because of visa

I'm sure helinues is already practicing his Igbo, to pass for an IPOB member when he stows away to Canada in the dustbin section of an oil tanker.

PHijo:
It wasn't Benin expansionist, it was Igbo expansionists who had to give up when the Benin people came up with facts.

For the Igbo to claim Igodo which was the first dynasty in present day Benin just shows how criminally inclined Igbos are. Neither Igodo nor Nri has anything to do with Igbos.

Before you accuse Benin people falsely you should ask yourself why your beloved Nnamdi Azikiwe said his people are of Benin descent.

Igbo people like claiming what they can never have.

You should also ask yourself why the traditional ruler and the custodian of the Onitsha culture, Igwe Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, also said that Onitsha people are core Igbos and not from Benin

Now I know you are jealous of the Igboness of the Nris. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. Nris, are infact considered one of the foundational Igbos, and culturally considered the holders of the Igbo ritual staff (ofo/ovo) of the Igbo people, which is why they control Eke, Oye Afor and Nkwo deities that every Igbo person adhers to in one way or the other either through your name OKEKE, or through your markets. They also lift abominations, something we did throughout Igboland, Igodomigodo (Benin), and Igala and the most important task which they perform, which I may write about when I have the time.. NRI JI OFO.

Nri are in fact the core Igbos, and any other Igbo is either as Igbo as Nri, or less Igbo than Nri.

Your desperation to strip Igbo people of their deep cultural heritage that dwarfs every other heritage, is legendary. Unfortunately for you, if you dare go to any of the core Nri towns like Enugwu-Agidi or Nawfia or Agukwu-Nri or Enugwu-Ukwu, and make the mistake of loudly uttering that they are not Igbos, your intestines will be used to appease the Ogwugwu deity, and your balls will be used to adorn the entry of AJANA UMUOKPALAERI shrine in Enugwu-Ukwu.

PHijo:
They are Igala, that they share Anambra state with you Igbos does not change their ethnicity. That many of them adopted Igbo names because of Igbo bigotry does mean they don't know who they are.

Nwokem I am an NRI man and a hardcore Igbo. NRI people have never been Igalas. Get that into your head.

You can't try that divide and conquer tactics you Ijaws and Fulanis are well known for.

NRI people are not Ikwerres, Kwales or Ogba people that you can confuse.

NRI is like a black hole. It's cultural gravitational force is so strong that it swallows anything that approaches.

Ask yourself how come Benin expansionists tried and abandoned the attempt of falsifying Enuani and Onitsha history? NRI is the reason. If they encroach NRI swallows them with Igodomigodo, an ancient NRI outpost.

NRI is badass

When the UGM finishes dealing with military and police checkpoints

chrisblack:
Then go it alone without an alliance .then you would live to regret it again. Many of you on both sides are never student's of history or military strategy. You just sit down behind keyboard's and say jargons. You are a perfect replica of the Socalled yoruba1stson very shallow minded . You are a small brain. I need to strategize with serious minded people across the Niger.

From your two exchanges with me, I can see you are sincere about building an alliance. I have nothing against that, but when your people start casting aspersions on well meaning Igbos, it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, especially with the Igbo collective experience of the last 60s.
Look at a wonderful writeup by one Rudulf Okonkwo, yet some of your people will come here to piss on his noble opinions, and as though that is not destructive enough, they start labeling people like Ojukwu that fought for Igbo survival, some ingrate referring to him as a coward, and you expect me, in whose family there exists many ex-Biafran soldiers and commandos, to stomach it? Iyasikwa.

Alliances and strategies are always a good thing, but it is sweeter if the alliance is with a group of noble and principled people. Just be noble and principled, and the Igbos will listen to you and ally with you. It's as simple as that

chrisblack:
both you and the yorubas against an alliance between both group are foolish people who never learn from history. The north could not have won without the west. Translate to the fact that the east would never win without the western support. It shows the west is important which also brings us to the point that the west cannot win without the support of the eastern part due to the same factor that affected the east against the north. Stop being foolish

Stop being an idiot and advice your fellow Yorubas not to disrespect our Igbo heroes else they get my whooping.

Who doesn't know that alliances are always needed, but if your people disrespect my people and hope they will get away with it, they are making a huge mistake.

By the way, Igbos didn't do too well the last time around, because European nations backed Nigeria materially. Igbos really have the mental fortitude to go one on one against the whole of Nigeria and still win, because they will be prepared this time.
Of course, it becomes easier if others join up, Yorubas inclusive.

PHijo:
Igbo never and will never have any royal institutions. The closest Igbo had to an organised institution was the warrant chief system the British gave them.

The warrant chiefs couldn't implement anything.

You are trying to twist stories. Like chief Asari-Dokubo has told you Igbos on several occasions. The Ijaw had outposts spread across what is now called the 5 Igbo states and in the past the went or sent people to effect their rule. You Igbos couldn't organize yourselves to prevent several Niger Delta merchants from trading in Igbo slaves. Yet you want claim you left place went to their place and ruled over some of the most important slave ports in their area. Are you normal?
Stop smoking Igbo!

Nri was Igala civilisation and not Igbo.

Hehehehehehe Chinekemeee. Igala people still attend Eze Nri's IGUARO ceremony till thy kingdom come. The traditional Igbo year, counted by the Nris and celebrated by the Eze Nri, based on the Nri market day deities of Eke, Oye, Afo, Nkwo and the ALUSI ARO hook line and sinker controlled by the Nris.

You have to upgrade your knowledge of the Igbos. It is virtually non-existent.

PHPdeveloper200:
the hausa and Yoruba controlled agencies in Nigeria will never publish statistics that will favour south east. They know that if south east knows what they have it will be harder to exploit them like they are currently doing to the minorities in South south.
infact, they deliberately split igboland for easy exploitation.
my father is from oguta LGA and my mother from mmahu in ohaji/egbema. most part of egbema was ceded to Rivers State before the nzeobi of egbema helped pull back most part of egbema to imo state. egbema currently has sixteen autonomous communities but the most oil rich three is In river state under ogba/ndoni/egbema LGA.

the funny stuff is that ogba/egbema/ndoni LGA alone produces more than 30% of Rivers State total oil output. pumping more than 100,000 barrels per day, it is the largest single onshore oil producing local government in Nigeria
I am suspecting that hope uzodinma will cede oil rich communities in oguta and ohaji/egbema LGA to Rivers State in the ongoing boundary demarcation in imo and Rivers State.
when egbema communities was ceded to Rivers State, they didn't realise that the communities they left behind will later produce crude oil

You are quite correct with regards to the bolded.

I have written severally on this forum that Ogba-Ndoni-Egbema LGA and Oyigbo LGA are the two largest producers of onshore oil in Nigeria.
Both LGAs are Igbo speaking.

Now that militancy is gradually creeping into Igboland, I can guarantee you that the whole gas thing won't go the same way as oil. Igbos will make sure that they are not cheated this time around, and will even make sure they have an overwhelming lion share unapologetically. Igbos are not minorities and can be quite militant if the occasion calls for it. I think the Nigerian government is gradually realising this fact.

While I understand and appreciate the issues of regional justice that Chief Clarke is pointing at, I also feel so disappointed for SS Igbos.

This is a huge prison for them, because when an opportunity goes to the entire SS, the minorities there will immediately blackmail the SS Igbos out of contention for the opportunity. This happened previously as is exactly why Peter Odili never became the president.

When an opportunity goes to the SE, our SS Igbo brothers are also kept out of it because they are not from the SE, meaning that the SS Igbos are held in a huge psychological prison, with an impregnable glass ceiling. How then will any SS Igbo become the president of Nigeria?

The SS Igbos have not exactly helped their cause by being too clannish and developing that minorities mentality. An Ikwerre man hardly sees himself as Igbo, and will very readily do harm to another Igbo clan as he doesn't see that Igbo clan as related to his clan. Obigbo massacre is a case in point.
An Ogba man sees an Ngwa man, exactly the same way he sees a Yoruba man. He will hardly acknowledge any relationship with the Ngwa man. All these help to ensure the SE man can't accept a SS Igbo man, representing him.
You want someone that behaves, acts and looks like you, to represent you. Not someone that hardly acknowledges any kinship with you.

Truth be told, at the moment I will not want an Ikwerre, Ogba, Ika or any such clans to represent the Igbos in Aso Rock. Ample occurrences have made me cold on that idea, the last of which is the Obigbo massacre. I know Igbos generally are now developing that stand point.

We know some of these anti-Igbo SS Igboids became the way they are through external forces that are hellbent on ensuring the Igbos are not united.

If Igbos are united, I doubt if the SE Igbos will have any qualms with a SS Igbo representing us. But enough suspicion has been injected into the relationship, resulting in the SE Igbos only wishing for a SE Igbo presidency.

Also due to the clannishness of some SS Igbo groups, a Rivers Ndoki man will rather have an Anambra president than a Rivers Ikwerre president.
A Rivers state Egbema man will prefer an Imo president than an Ogba man not minding that Ogba and Egbema are in the same LGA in Rivers state.
This is mainly because some of these SS Igbo clans have chosen to see the world as minorities, and are now more comfortable being insular and clannish.

I think to release the SS Igbos from the psychological political prison they currently abide in, within Nigeria, then there has to be real restructuring, so that they are placed with their genetic and cultural brothers and sisters to eliminate to issues of malevolent forces, forcing them to develop as minorities and encouraging them to severe cultural links with their brothers. It will also eliminate the political marginalisation that has been forced on them, by being placed where they clearly don't belong. They should be with their cultural and genetic brothers. Otherwise the fate of Peter Odili's presidential ambitions will be the eternal fate of any SS Igbo's presidential ambitions.

BluDesk:
I verified the information after reading this thread


Nigeria as a whole has just 200 Trillion cubic feet gas reserves. This record is as of 2020.


80% of gas reserves is definitely not in igbo territory as suggested. That's just to induce some emotional reactions.



In the 200 Trillion cubic feet deposits in the country, 93 Trillion is in the South South alone.

When I checked up that information in 2016, Nigeria had 140 tcf or thereabout, so it keeps growing in leaps and bounds.

Now Timipre Silva who is a minister in the petroleum ministry, who will have the most uptodate figures just said that Imo state alone has 200 tcf of gas. His records are definitely more current that the site you checked.

But let me even reply based on the figure you presented. I can assure you that the 93 tcf that can be found in the SS, more than 50% of that will be in Igbo-speaking areas. This is based on the fact that Imo and Anambra has the most reserves, it will make sense to infer the adjoining areas, which are Igbo areas in the SS, will maintain the same ratio as Anambra and Imo gas reserves.

Supreme court has already made a ruling on Opobo.

If you can't provide evidence of your ownership of Opobo, you definitely will not be able to present evidence of your ownership of UBANI.
Ancient observed records have already made that fact clear, as to which group owns UBANI.

Your only chance of claiming UBANI is to claim that Ndokis are Ijaws. But ample evidence will be needed, not snippets from Alagoa who is already an interested party.
Ample cultural evidence will be needed. Possibly DNA evidence also, to prove that Ndokis are more related to Ijaws, than to the other Igbo clans.

You guys have no chance whatsoever

BluDesk:
That's not what it fully means.

Also take anything Timipriye Sylvia says with a pinch of salt


More importantly, there's over 400 Trillion cubic feet of gases in other areas


What worries me? Want to know. The Nigeria Gas Plan Project is designed to tap at industrial levels away from these regions. First to the north. But with an intent to tap towards Morocco, Algeria Northwards to transport to Europe


The details of this plan isn't fully clear. I'm worried for host communities. It's not an entirely good deal even for the SE if it's tapped this way and is another indicator for a perceived danger I believe would likely happen if it sees the light of the day

I know that Anambra and Imo have the largest gas reserves in Nigeria.

So if Imo has about 200 tcf, Anambra will probably have something in the region of 100-200tcf.

Every other Igbo state and Igbo areas in the SS could have about 200 tcf combined.

What this means is that Igbos could possibly have about 550 tcf of gas. So basically 80-90% of Nigerian gas reserves could be found in Igbo territories. Now that's impressive. Just one ethnic group. Chineke!!!! What!!!

Ekumeku resistance was by far, the greatest and the fiercest resistance effort by any group, against the European colonizers by any group in West Africa.

The Anioma people really stood their ground honourably.

Eze Nri Enwelana I (the great grand father of Eze Nri Obidiegwu Onyesoh NriEnweleAna II)declared an anathema against white people to aid in the Ekumeku effort. What this meant was that the killing of any white man during the Ekumeku resistance was not an Abomination (ALU), and would not require IKPU ALU by Nri priests.
Back then, the Igbo official religion was ODINANI/ ODINANA/ ODINALA and people endeavored not the sin against the land deity (Ani/Ana/Ajala/Ajani). Spilling of blood was a crime against ANA, and would normally require IKPU ALU by Nri priests for the abomination and the spiritual consequences to be lifted.
As the Igbo high priest, Eze Nri Enwelana I appealed to Chukwu Abiama to ensure that the killing of any invader would not attract the fury of ANI against those Igbo communities.

BlackAdam55:
Which abandoned properties? Let's get one thing straight,there's no such thing as abandoned properties.
I don't understand where you igbos get this your abandoned stuff from.

Diette Spiff knows what abandoned properties meant. It was a corner stone of his policies as the Fulani-loving governor of Rivers state

hollah123:
I really don't know d ogundipe n Diya story but I will definitely read about it but I know for sure u know Abiola n Fela story,guy please tell us d coward abeg.

Answer my question now n I promise I will answer yours tomorrow

Go and read up on the individuals I mentioned. Gen. Abdul Karim Adisa kneeling before a Fulani major and crying and begging.

Ojukwu escaped, and there is absolutely no shame in that. The whole Nigerian army was after him and wanted to kill him, but he escaped. That is bravery. It's better to escape than to kneel before you juniors or mates and be begging like Adisa and Diya.

Abiola went underground and was arrested before he could escape. He had already started applying his lipstick and adjusting his fake boobs, in preparation for his escape when he got arrested

hollah123:
I laugh whenever I hear Igbos tag another person cowards,d same set of people that their 2 heroes ran away when the heat got to it.

The same sets of people who dare not say a word when Asari n Wike are talking,the same people who are only warriors online.

between Abiola n Ojukwu who can b described as a coward?

between Nnamdi Kanu n Fela,who will u call a coward?

anytime u Igbos are about to exhibit your madness n sane people aren't subscribing to it u tag them coward,so much for the so called courageous tribe that an illiterate buhari is dealing with them left right n centre

Yorubas specialise in kneeling before their juniors and begging for their lives. Oladipo Diya, Adisa and co know what I'm referring to.
Ogundipe ran away when a junior Hausa officer refused to obey his order. He was not threatened at all, and yet he ran away.
The whole Nigerian army was looking for Ojukwu to kill him and he outwitted them and escaped. Ogundipe disguised himself like a transvestite and disappeared, even though no one was looking for him.

Between Ojukwu and Diya, who's the coward?

Between Nnamdi Kanu and Ogundipe who is the coward?

You got the wrong end of the stick. He is not talking about war. He is rather talking about the THREAT of war.
It is with such a threat, that everyone will agree to come to the negotiating table, to rescue Nigeria.

Yet again, some SW almajiris did not understand the thrust of his logic. Exactly the same sort of idiocy that SW almajiris showed in 2015, when Igbos were telling them that Buhari was a terrorist. Must you guys be dumb all the time?

nairalandankrah:
Spot on..I was almost fooled here but you have just rescued me..I dont know how to thank you for these your terrific words of emancipation..
at least one less southern idiot now

Seriously, It wouldn't take boko haram anything to use rocket launcher to kill zulum.. But they've been purposely missing target...

Of course they never miss their target when it comes to killing christian pastors or catholic bishops. But they will keep missing their target if it is Buhari, Elrufai, Sheikh Gumi, Isa Pantami, the sharia chief justice, Zulum and the rest

A month ago I was in Igboland. I traveled from Awka to Nnewi area and there was no single roadblock.

The only place I saw two policemen was in a major traffic junction within Awka, and they were the most gracious police men I've ever seen. They were helping to keep the traffic moving, and were the most polite police officers ever in Nigeria. It was clear they were in their best behavior in order not to attract the fury of the people.

Truly in Nigeria, things work once the authorities know you have a gun and can shoot back. What a real pity

nairalandankrah:
How is it that boko haram has not made any single attempt on his life despite all the hatred they claim to have for him lol??
Compare that to zulum of borno state...

They are working together, only acting a script to deceive the gullible..
Nah them them....AWON JIHADISTS

.
They are all involved in this game of TAQIYA.

Buhari, Zulum, Pantami and all of them.

Remember around the time Buhari was being smashed for being nominated by Bokoharam to represent them, a few months after that, Bokoharam carried out an arrangee bombing of Buhari's jeep. They made sure Buhari was not in the jeep before they bombed it, so that Buhari then could claim that Bokoharam was after him also. This is their game plan to deceive

All the "unsuccessful" attempts on Zulum by Bokoharam are just arrangee bombings. He hopes to run for vice presidency or presidency in the future, so he hopes to use all those attempts to confuse their usual southern idiots.

Unknown Gunmen and ESN seem to have reset the brains of the police leadership.

MNK must be happy for this little victory

He should go and answer for the murder charge dangling over his head. It is way more than just what he said.

He also now has to deal the the student whose murder he caused by issuing a fatwa, when he was in university.

Murder cases don't have statute of limitation.

UstazAhmed:
Stop talking op, who is Ọhaneze to threaten FG or to tell FG not to deploy military in the East? Are you a terrorist sympathize

Regarding the bolded

No, he is not
But Pantami is

The difference between Pantami and Google is that Pantami espouses pro-islamic terrorist tendencies. I wouldn't wanting data in the hands of such a person

He should have applied to MIT and Harvard university. As far as I am concerned, the two most prestigious higher institutions of learning in the US. And he may have gotten them
