Following the brutal and inhuman video
of the Nigerian army against the
invasion, terrorism, and killings of IPOB
members, which has been going viral
over the internet. The president of the
EU commission Mr Jean-Claude Junker
has openly made a serious touching
statement as well as warning the
Nigerian security personnel against
their ill hearted and unprofessional
in handling democratic issues and the
rights of the people… Junker directed a
serious caution towards the Nigerian
Military chiefs stating that they must
employ every democratic tenet in
handling issues that concerns disgruntles
and agitations.


“It is the people’s right to agitate and
make a request from their government,
self-determination is a right enshrined
in the United Nation Charter. The people
of BIAFRA have every right to request
for a referendum, they have been in this
struggle for a while now they have
never killed or shot a bullet instead they
are the victims of attacks and murder.
The entire EU hereby condemn the
brutal attack on IPOB members and
leadership under the pretentious
disguise of a military exercise
(Operation Python Dance) Nigerian
military is warned to adopt democratic
tenets in handling citizens. The EU will
not sit and watch things go
undemocratic in the largest economy of
the West African region.
Furthermore, Mr Junker has promised
to raise the issues concerning the
people’s request for a REFERENDUM
among the caucus of the EU. He further
stated that the Biafra request for A
referendum is no different from that of
the Catalonians and the Britain. Nigeria
government must rise above
insubordination and handle issues with
every tenet of maturity and democracy.http:// 247ureports.com/2017/09/16/eu-condemn-and-caution-nigerian-military-rejects-the-declaration-of-ipob-as-a-terrorist-organization/

YourTerror:
I know this will come as a suprise but I will not support the breakup of Nigeria again. After taking my time to go through stories on both sides, I have come to the conclusion that;

(1)IPOB looked for trouble and should bear the responsibility alone. You can't fight a federal might and win.

(2)We Igbos brought trouble on ourselves. We first of all declared war on Buhari. Prior before election, we filled the cyber space with hatred and malice against him even Even though He should have forgiven us as a father knowing fully well that we are his children and he is a president of all.

(3)Further championing the Biafran cause will alienate us further from the Nigerian bread and make the needed developments not come to our side.

(4) We Igbos are very arrogant and have refused to learn to stop chest beating. We see every tribe as not suffering and we ourselves as the only people that suffered to make it. This is a pure lie.

(5) The Yorubas have every right to protect the Nigerian state. If they still want to stay in Nigeria, it is their right. I will forever stop calling them Afonja. Same goes for the good people of Calabar, Bayelsa, Rivers and Idoma who have made it clear that they will never be part of Biafra. I will now respect their opinion

(6) I have come to realise that even if Nigeria restructures today or separates, Igbos may bear the brunt more ooo. I have to be objective. Forget chest beating and making noise like wounded goats. We no get anything ho haa for our land. The Benue we insult for refusing Biafra has food oo. North has food oo and are preparing for post oil period. Our South East states have little or nothing to sustain us in the eventuality of a Biafra. Forget the oil in Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom. Those people are not our "brothers" as we usually tag them. Even the first secessionist state in Nigeria was crushed by an Igbo man... Aguiyi Ironsi They themselves have almost been rendered impotent by the Nigerian state of which the big 3 tribes are the champions in marginalization.

(7) Nobody is marginalising Igbos. We are marginalizing ourselves because we have refused to play smart politics. The Yorubas are better here. I must commend them for that. They are usually smart and play to the wind of what is in place. Those people saw on time that Jonathan is failed project and ran to align with North. The gamble favoured them. Mind you that prior before now, Buhari ha approached us with Chuba Okadigbo and that Nnewi man. We totally rejected him and labelled him a terrorist. He became a president and and appointed people the constitution mandated him to appoint. It is not a must we will be in his kitchen cabinet. Mind you that we labelled him a terrorist. If I were him, I wont appoint Igbo man oo. Period. Because we pose a threath to him. If you want, call me Afonja. Abum ezigbote nwafor Igbo. Anaghim atu ujo.

( Boy forget propaganda and fake news. Nobody offered Nnamdi Kanu any oil well and Vice President. That Young man na pure renegade, wounded lion and a failure that bought into the so called marginalization of the Igbos. Because some Igbos felt sidelined by Buhari, they now fell back on Nnamdi to get a pound of flesh. They don't necessarily want to pull out of Nigeria. If you doubt me, why are some of us giving subtle support for Atiku who is a well known...... let me leave it there.


(9) We Igbos atimes tend to be greedy oo. We have been licking this oil oo. The oil is not our own oo as we usually chest beat. Everybody has been licking it. Our politicians are now planning to lick this oil alone and sideline other tribes. Biafra can never work oo. If you doubt me, tell me why a state as small as Bayelsa with all its big federal allocation and 13% derivation still owing its workers? My eyes have opened that this is class warfare oo. Even if we get Biafra today, the same set of criminal elements will still not be satisfied even if you give them all.the oil wells!

(10) The so called SEDC failed at the house because of the arrogance of our representatives and senators. I may be wrong but don't be surprised that our politicians from the East failed to lobby others before submitting the application due to their chest beating and arrogance. We need to learn to work with other regions to achieve good things for our peopl back home. We see Yorubas as Afonjas and See Hausas as Animals. But I have come to discover that some Igbos are the ones becoming Animals oo.

(11) Even though am not an IPOB member but I have been an ardent sympathiser and supporter, I have gone come to discover that these people are Barbarians oo. Believe me when I tell you this. I have gone close to them to discover that these people are just waiting for rhe right time to become terrorists. They are metamorphosing. Believe me. And they will be more terrible than Boko Haram.

Ndigbo gekwanum nti. IPOB abughi ndi unu ga enye ochichi. They have already written down names of those they will kill when Biafra comes. Most times, you see them discuss about how they will revoke all lands and which buildings to pull down in order to build their Utopian Biafra. These young men are heartless oo.

(12) Most of the people you see screaming IPOB and Biafra online are jobless Igbo youths in Germany, Malaysia, Cambodia, London and CHINA. They are screaming war and battle from their room but they have nothig oo. IPOB is being funded by drug and illegal money. They also get legal money through brainwashing children of the poor and down trodden especially those from Ebonyi and Enugu. Believe me on this.

(13) I knew Nnamdi Kanu was mad the day he said he will go to Abuja and come back with Buharis head. That was when I started suspecting his sanity. You can't make such volatile comments against a presidency and expect to go scot free. He even went as far as floating a BSS.

(14) I swear down. Buhari is very tolerant and tried ooo. Forget all these brainwashing by Radio Biafra that Hausa hates us. Its a pure lie. Abum Ezigbote onye Igbo si Anambra. If I were the president and my powers wittled as Nnamdi tried to do Buhari, by now, I would have crushed the person oo.

(15) Forget these hoodlums like Fani Kayode, Fayose, Reno Omokri and other iddots that are playing Ludo with our emotions. These people don't love us. They are our real enemies. They only need us to distract Buhari government and when they achieve their aim, they will abandon us! Look at that foooolish Fayose that can't manage Ekiti wants to become president! Can you imagine? Fani Kayode the hoodlum is only looking for how PDP will come back so that he will continue looting. Same goes for reno omockri the criminal whose principal supervised the greatest lootocracy of modern times!

I will continue later....

Apologies to Omenka, TonyeBarcanista, Madridguy, Sarrki and a host of others. Most of them are true patriots. Am discovering this late.


NB
Before you tag me Afonja, I was a former hardcore Biafran Supporter, A lover Of Igbo and an IPOB sympathiser.

Abughi kwam onye Hausa ma obu Yoruba. Abum Onye Igbo. I have only decided to live above hate and start loving other Nigerians.

I didn't do this for likes or favour. I am doing this because I love my Igbo brother. Nnamdi Kanu wife and son don run go London. Mazi Kanu has disappeared. Our brainwashed brothers are still shouting Biafra or death and being used to test run the new weapons the Nigerian army bought. Mind you that the Nigerian army has Igbo people among them.

I am now Python Dancing. Ndi Igbo unu etufukwele ndu unu maka Nnamiidiot Kanu. We have been sharing oil money but our politicians have been stealing our own and not working. Hold your politicians responsible. Case closed!

@op
God bless you this is Nigerian I was born to before everything turn to hatred I as shocked.
let join together and work to make Nigeria better, this nation is wonderful, if we place the politicians where they belong and work hand in hand we have opportunity to be better than any country in the world I proud of you, as an igbo and I appreciated you effort
God bless you

IkpuMmiri:
Sanity is gradually returning to the politics Section of Nairaland... The hate filled pigs are finally tamed. IPOB Yoots have learned the hardest way...Though we warned them but they tagged us Afonja, gworo chewing abokis, efulefu and other profanities. Ipob Have been humbled

How, quickly does things change! Ipob keyboard warriors have suddenly lost their keyboards, no appetite to fight on again...Just last week an idiotic comments like "Thunder Scatter Buhari" or mere screaming "Afonja" from an ipob yoots can garner 250 LIKES before 2 hours...But go and check all threads since this weeek, you will appreciate how lonely ipob yoots are now.....Failure stares them in the face, regrets flood their eyes....But We warned them.

Anyway, at this juncture, let me pause and appreciate the following handle in no particular order, for their selfless services to their fatherland and making sure a lunatic gay from london doesnt bring war to Nigeria;

good
God bless us all.
it's a great sacrifice for our great nation, but it's just the beginning, we need to be very, very vigilant than before, we know when this agitation started like play, we see where it ended.
God so good.
we must always rally round our great nation, we must bear in mind we had internal and external enemies who were envy this giant great nation of the black world and that Identity is worth preservation!
The politics is there for the politicians to play, but they must know their limit when playing politic game.
For ours, the patriots;
People's mandate!
Nigeria constitution!
are what we must fight to protect.
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria
God bless Nigeria Patriots.

once again history proved me right!

Watch-out very soon for a book in compilation by oladeebo...IJO OJOLA L'AGIJU ABA.
Eku ojulona.
oladeebo.

I can never trust the two initial "C" (c & c ) among our Neighbors the B & N were fair and better!

The elites of Nigeria were ignorant of their surrounding, that is why they were fighting to weaken Nigeria for political interest & crumbs!

ofai:
Pointless.

haa!
you aint satisfy yet?
ok!
In democratic society like ours, there were only to processes to follow to gain what you need or love your country to become:-
i. Through the law of the land!
ii. Through the mandate of the people!
Any other ways are impunity and anarchy!
Trump had American mandate to sweep the Obama programs into dust bin!
Why Nnamdi kanu can't seeks Nigerian mandate to restore his Biafra?
Also Atiku is known as Father of restructure & he has declared his ambition for the president,
why you people can't lobby and voted him into power to restructure Nigeria for you?

ofai:
What many people fail to acknowledge is that the pro-biafrans were once patriotic Nigerians. they once believed in a Nigeria where everyone had some sense of belonging. A Nigeria that will be just, fair and equitable regardless of religious and ethnic affiliations. 50 years of a failed post war national experiment is no more a joke. Its not funny.
Nigeria's mode of existence was negotiated between our founding fathers, NOT imposed. the patriotism of our founding fathers wasn't a blind one. they had their terms of national engagement. if Nigeria must work, it must be properly negotiated, nobody wants to settle for less. Everyone wants a fair deal.
Today people talk about Nigeria as though it is non negotiable. the foolish ones do much worse, they engage in blind patriotism. They see the sorry state of Nigeria as their fate, they would rather sink with the Titanic ship than find an escape route. They see the fraud and hypocrisy having a field day, yet they do little about it.
Sincerely fix the country, they won't. okay, some are willing to fix the system by negotiating Nigeria's mode of existence, they antagonize them. Now some want outright seperation, these blind patriots are calling for their heads. they are those who try to defeat a project before allowing it to operate.
I owe no allegiance to a country that is not ready to make things right for it's citizens. I owe no allegiance to a country that can't protect me. Some so called patriots will even readily drop their Nigeria for another country when given the opportunity. I owe no allegiance to a country whose leadership are bent on dividing the citizenry with their speeches, actions and inaction. There is so much brain drain in the country due to the fraud and hypocrisy in the system.
I don't believe in blind patriotism. if there is sincerity on the part of Nigerias leadership to fix Nigeria regardless of economic challenges, there won't be escalated agitations. A true patriot is not a blind patriot. NIGERIA wants blind patriotism. they won't get it from me.
If they don't restructure the faulty system, I won't settle for less. I will go for a whole new and carefully negotiated biafra. Thank you NNAMDI KANU for rising to the occasion.

Why can't I be a blind patriot?
when I have no home than Nigeria like kanu, who when he set Nigeria ablaze he will run to his other home!
Also why can't I opposed those failed but blamed it on the system after they've experimented all the systems of the whole world,
accepted that corruption killing Nigeria but refused the capital punishment to those looters!
restructure Nigeria for who to govern then?

Although, the regional government seized to function since 1966, but why the six governors of the East also the commander in chief of these six states were unable to stop lawlessness and auto proclaimed Premier Eastern region of....NNAMDI KANU
i. He order sit at home on the region! No challenge.
ii. He take and blocked public spaces at his wish! No challenge.
iii. He Order No vote to the whole region! No challenge
iv. He violated the bail conditions he signed! They accused Fed govt. of challenging him.
v. He Order the attack of soldiers in their mission! They stand to Shade him from law.
Nnamdi kanu the premier of the Eastern region of Nigeria!
You see what those who organised Ibadan Summit aimed for Nigerian?
A state of Anarchy where a single person can hold the whole region at random!

Pythondancef:
I have been a silent reader on Nairaland but I had to register just to tell how disappointed I am with Buhari and the military. I have traveled far and wide and I tell you that it's very hard to see military men(in uniforms) in other countries. I traveled to the US last year and I didn't see a single soldier throughout my stay. I only saw soldiers on TV but never did I see them on the streets.

It's totally unacceptable and unconstitutional of the Nigerian Army to invade civilian areas in a show of force. You don't intimidate civilian populace with weapons, especially in an area where the tension is high. It's complete terrorism on the part of the Army and I would like to advise them to stop whatever they are doing. The police should be deployed in cases like this.

It's just like a lion threatening to eat a rat and then few weeks later the lion comes closer to the rats house all in the name of "Show of force". Don't you think the rat would attack the lion just to gurrantee its safety? Don't you think the rat has reasons to attack first because of fear? This provocation by the Nigerian Army should stop, this Biafran issue should not be escalated further. The military should leave the court to decide Kanu's fate, they cannot take laws into their own hands.

I am not a Biafran supporter in anyway. All reasonable Nigerians should be against this madness. If we don't condemn the Nigerian military now, they will do this over and over again with impunity and you wouldn't know when it's going to be your turn. You might praise the army and condemn the Igbos now, but remember that we live in a world of karma.

I agree with Falana and all Nigerians APC or PDP should do the same..

it is a pity!
that people didn't learn from history in this country especially the Elites!
No violent of this sorts had ever been settle by police means in this country;
maitasine in kano,
Religious conflicts in the North,
Boko haram is there since roughly 10 years,
Now where dealing with Ipob
And you people still believe on unbelievable,
how many contingents of police can curtain the ipob group with out total burn down of the east, and it will later be blame on Buhari administration

fk001:
Southeast zone is the second most dangerous zone after Northeast in Nigeria.





Strangers and investors should be careful and stay away from that zone till further notice.

even Eastern world is perennial violent!
East is East everywhere!
Violent!

Our state governors were lazy bones, sorry to say!
Even each state can have it's own[b] home village[/b] where her ingenious villagers who is yet to lose their heritage traditions, cultures and costumes will live, that will attract both national and international tourists, there-by boost their Internal Generated revenue!

Created "NIGERIAN HOME VILLAGE" Somewhere around Abuja that will home the real Indigenous Nigerian 500 ethnic groups that attached to their traditions, cultures and customs till today as a Nigerian tourist Village will call millions of tourists worldwide each year and earn Nigeria billion of $Dollars!
Our Giga Diversity which no find elsewhere in the world is money, let exploit it!
oladeebo!

Austin234:
Op, kudos to u for this near comprehensive list. Be reminded that some tribes in Nigeria are aready extinct. Addition of the extinct tribes could bring the figure to over 500 tribes in Nigeria

over 500?
what a real giga giant nation!

Nairalanders beware in taking photo or filming of soldiers on duties,
it can be deadly, it against the ethics of soldiers in mission!
Know how to manage such a risk action!

MasterChen:
This one dada don full. Alinco go barb your hair

Is this one speaks Greece or Latin?

Cyynthia:
Keep deceiving yourself.

Nnamdi kanu is a British-Nigerian political activist fighting For the actualization of Biafra nation in Nigeria!
But why not in Britain?

Nnamdi kanu and his groups ipob has been confirmed a Terrorist organisation who terrorizing the people and destroying properties worth millions of Dollar the unfortunate incident happened in Aba, Umuahia, porthacourt today.
In case of urgency Nigeria government must stop the activities of the group(Nnamdi Kanu/Ipob) immidiately before the violent escate to other region of Nigeria...UK Dilomat

Enough for the non-sense those who taken Nigeria for granted and detracted Nigeria nation would have themselves to be blamed!
Who had the right of no voting zone in the world?
Nowhere in the world where there is state within the state!
Any one who had any Idea to agitate upon must go through law of the land!
when democracy turn to Anarchy!
oladeebo.

why are you people jitterying here better send delegation to safe your lord over there bunch of traitors & detractors!

okuneddie:
That's "Peculiar Mess"

very good of you, you are a good researcher!
Peculiar mess
Adegoke Adelabu is often mentioned in Yorùbá and Nigerian history as the author of that expression: "penkelemesi", a Yorubanisation of the phrase, "peculiar mess" which Adelabu, known for his deep knowledge of English, had used on an occasion to describe the opposition in the Western Region House of Assembly. Not understanding what he meant, the non-literate section of his audience translated the phrase into vernacular as "penkelemesi".
