Olaolufred:
Thank you for being a bit agressive even though you still tried to control it.
I appreciate that.
From your Quote,
(1) You had assumed that everyone uses fake ID. Not all.
(2) Not all uses multiple ID's as well.
On the Issue under discussion, we could also assume that Niger Deltans are fully ready to support BIAFRA.
But remember that assumption is always the mother of frustrations.
Also, we must understand that North will survive as a country like the west and east and south-south can do.
But every Majority must know how to lobby the minorities to their advantage, not with the aim of using them to achieve its own without having them in a concrete progressive and convincing plan.
So, the point I wanted you and others who sees others as the problem of Biafra's abortion to know that the plan is as important as the execution.
Don't declare a fight before planing on how to do the fighting.
Thanks. My friend and Brother, One_Naira.

Olaolufred:
Thanks for being responsible enough to talk Issues than throw muds.
I actually decided to read about the Civil war Instead of being brainwashed by people's perception.
I made some observations. The Nigerian Army during the Civil war had the support of Cross River (where some Nigerian infantry came through Obudu). Bonny and the whole portharcourt hosted another Amphibious Comandos with all pleasure. Another group came from Edo who felt their land was forcefully occupied by Biafran Soldiers. The Main Group came from Benue/Present Kogi overriding Nsukka within few days of Biafran's declaration.
The Cross river, Portharcourt, Bonny, Edo didi not in any way resisted the Nigerian Army.
This Infers that they are not on the side of Biafra.
If they have changed their orientation within the last 45 years, then It is a good thing not necessarily for them, but for the Igbos that would like to court them into Biafra.
But the lobbying must present to them their benefit in the prospective country. And they must be convinced with a convincing plan that they won't be used and dumped.
If that is guaranteed, then their alliance will be a step further in the actualization of an Igbo Nation.
Note also that they can also negotiate for a new name for that prospective country, since they could declined the Igbos forcing down their throat the Name, "Biafra".
With great unity of purpose and wider consultations, It is achievable.

Olaolufred:
One Naira,
I support Ojukwu's Idea.
But his approach to execution cost the non-existence of Biafran country.
I felt for the people in the East because I am sure there would have been better developments for Nigerian and Biafrans if it had suceeded.
However, the Agenda could still live If both diplomatic and Political ground works are done.
The Igbos Can't go anywhere unless Cross Rivers,Akwa-Ibom,Rivers, Deltans and Edo gives a helping hands.
Assuming the bitterness against the South West won't allow you associate with her, but do not make the 1960s mistake again.
Lobby well the SS before you can think of being close to success.
Even at this the success is not guaranteed.
No man makes it in Isolation.

^^^^
If majority of Igbos truly want Biafra, they are definitely not acting on it. You NL Igbos are full of lies, i'll rather trust the devil b4 i trust an Igboman.

c.fours:
his post did provide some comical relief I must say 

hold a public referendum in Iboland today and I bet not up to 30% will be in support of Biafra.
even less than 5% will support it in non-ibo SS region.
Even their dictator Ojukwu upon returning to Nigeria tried to get into state politics many times but his own people will not even support him. He couldn't carry up to 3 SE states in a common election!! Of course he's dead now so we can now call him a hero. rotflmao

What we have here is a problem of [b]rabid vocal minority [/b]who wants to shove biafra down everyone's throat.
it will have to happen violently and we know who the victims will be again --the silent majority of ibo people. they are always the ones who bear the brunt of the loud mouthed fools' aggressions.

my love for this woman has grown much stronger just by reading the courage she spake on this issue.

the anger of yoruba's and fulani's is that their divide and conker chains has broken

Gbawe:
My friend, sharrap !!!! Abeg shut it. Your sort have no honour. You know nothing about Ghana and this is why you can say erroneously that Nigerians "run" the drug scene there. When shown you are wrong by those who really know Ghana (for more than ten years) you are dancing from pillar to post with incoherent babble instead of simply admitting that you are another self-hating Nigerian happy to conclude we are all over the world doing no good because some say so. Trust me when I tell you that Ghanaians , despite whatever they say, don't need any help committing crime.

Ask yourself if Nigerian armed robbers don't make it to the UK and the USA. Why don't they continue their activities over there? Yet they do so in other African Countries outside Nigeria. It is about willing local collaboration and the existence of a 'market'. Get that into your thick head once and for all. I don't hold Nigerians to be innocent but I don't judge them to be the scum of the earth either - especially since real knowledge makes me note reality.

Read Ghanaian newspapers (eg Graphic, Daily Guide) for two weeks. There is likely to be at least 10-20 reportage of armed robbery and heinous crime. Would it surprise you that suspects arrested, 99% of the time, are mostly Ghanaian? Yet folks like you come here talking ignorantly. My guy, you know nada about Ghana. Just give it up and apologise to your fellow Nigerians. They don't "run" crime in Ghana and you would know this if you really know Ghana and regardless of what the Ghanaians say. Balanced folks work with facts not market gossip.

In fact, I will prove what I say to the forum. I will be in Ghana this weekend for three weeks and then move on to Nigeria. I will buy the Graphic and Daily Guide newspapers everyday and reveal the content here. Let us put your silly, childish and totally false "Nigerians run crime in Ghana" jargon to the statistical test.

Seven hundred and seven foreigners, mainly Nigerians, are serving various sentences in the country’s prisons.

The sex workers who operate in Adum, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region, said they were disenchanted that younger and prettier girls from Nigeria are gradually taking over the sex business as they could hardly retain their usual customers.

The truth is, if Ghana hopes to effectively challenge its own problems, its people must tell the naked emperor within each person the truth, stop seeing themselves as victims. True, Nigerian criminals have swarmed into Ghana, but the Ghanaian authorities can do something about that, and if they don’t, it’s their choice.

Gbawe:
Chest beating ? Dude, you are sad and pathetic !!!! You claim others are ignorant of events in Ghana yet you confess you yourself rely on what you are told !!! How sad is that ? You think Ghanaians are innocent ? Why not talk to Nigerian living in Ghana to get both side of the story [b]if [/b]you are genuinely interested iin being an informed observer? It is this inherent bias that will always ensure you are prone to jumping to conclusions.

I am sorry but , to me, you are just another clown who knows nothing about Ghana only to come here accusing others of ignorance. Have you ever being to Ghana? You think it is enough to make conclusions ignorantly based on what Ghanaians tell you? Do you even know the motivation of many of them? Why don't you visit Ghana to gain 'perspective'?

Besides, are you oblivious to how most Africans speak negatively of us worldwide even when there is no need to do so? Does that then make Nigerians the "evil" people they claim we are? Is it that all of us are bad (a gross fallacy) or is it that painting all of us bad , because of a few miscreants, helps some to be comfortable with how we quickly gain what they only dream off? 

How many of these so-called Ghanaians you "speak to" ever balance their tales by telling you of the many good things Nigerians do in Ghana? In case you don't know, some Ghanaians are even worse at playing Ostrich than the bigoted Nigerians who decieve themselves that it is other ethnic group who are sinners while they are saints who don't even know how to steal or committ crime.

Let me give you a small test. Ask your "Ghanaian friends" about drugs in Ghana. If they are honest, you will soon realise that drug-trafficking ,per comparative population ratio, is far higher in Ghana. For its small population, in comparison to Nigeria, the reality is that , independently and without anyone's help, Ghana is a significant drug trafficking hub in West Africa. For example, a great deal of Cocaine impounded on a ship in Ghana disappeared into thin air with collusion all the way up to the top of the Police force because of the " big men" who owned the shippment !!!! Ask your "Ghanaian friends" about Tagor and other drug lords who do as they please in Ghana , act like celebrities, and are freed from jail routinely by political influence.   

Akuffo Addo's (possibly Ghana's next President) international drug dealer brother-in -law Nko? Dude, you are a joke. You know nothing about the real situation of how drug dealing is very pervasive in Ghana (with most big men and even politicians being actively involved in drug dealing) yet you are happy to ignorantly portray Nigerians as "running" the drug scene in Ghana when the reality is that the Ghanaians can teach us a trick or two about drug dealing.

Man mi stop embarrasing yourself. Just stop it and deal with the issues that cause you to view and judge others so erroneously.

BlackPikiN:
Did Ojukwu cause any death?
Did Ojukwu cause the North and other Nigerians to kill Igbo men before He stood up for their defense?
Is there anything wrong with him saying "enough is enough, come home my people if you feel unsecured".
Did you just hear what Niger state Governor say about acting same way if He had the opportunity to. That wasn't a political statement.
It was straight and frank.

So you hail the killing of defenseless civilians and hate someone who chose to protect them.
You be animal, a coward and demon!

ifyalways:
Is that NLd's Dayo?

Lmao!!!

Why don't you educate us? Why not bring your knowledge about Ghana and let me bring mine ? You think it is just to brag on the net and allude vaguely to knowledge you don't have? I think the entire forum, by now, know I don't talk without first hand knowledge and facts to  prove my case. I will start at the bottom with Chicken Republic a fast food chain now rapidly expanding in Ghana and employing many. It is present on Ghana's number 1 premier, most well known and most expensive highstreet i.e Oxford Street, Osu. Is that business not organised enough for you? I will give you more if you come and defend your claim thats others are ignorant about Ghana.

I have no interest in telling any of you not to hate anyone. You only damage yourself doing so anyway. What I object to is the casual and outlandish deciet some of you deploy to deliberately malign the Yorubas in an ignorant attempt to rob them of credit for their laudable achievements. Even if totally eaten up by hatred, show maturity and give credit where due. The Yorubas are anything but lazy or underachieving, in real terms, in comparison to others. All we get is vacuous noise many of you can never back with cold facts. Abeg, come and educate me about Ghana.  Perhaps you don't understand that "organised business" does not mean sole-trading. My guy, just be warned I deal in verifiable facts not sentimental utterances that cant be proven.

Okija_juju:
And Eastern Nigeria is populated by True Igbos _{(like myself)} and Terrorist Igbos a.k.a Biafrans. . .

Until the latter all die off, True Igbos would always be reffered to as ritualists, drug pushers, fake goods manufacturers and petty traders. . I wish they all would just die.

God bless the True Igbos. . .

Okija_juju:
IMO you and other Biafran apologists should be arrested and shot dead. Until such a time as that happens, Ndi Igbo would never cease to be in the back seat of Nigerian politics.
