I have warned every SE/SS who make jokes or join the westerners or northerners in making jokes about this biafra agitation to desist from it and lend a persuading voice to bring the attention of this administration lead by a brain dead dictator who cares less about our ancestral land.
Had Nnandi been released this protest would have stopped and the wildfire put out before now.

But you people in ur abject stupidty make joke of them callling them jobless and illiterate but guess what? Boko haram are illiterates too so why don't you try going up north with your elitist degree and see if you come back in one piece.

count us out, it's only the SE... okay? No add SS join o!

Marriage is not by force.

You can't force two grown up adults to live together no matter the condition.

Even the days when divorce is forbidden, separation was still an option.

two grown I am a full time southerner ur excellency, u guys can go on killing urselves in south east! Okay??

ronald4lif:
So it's about Buhari, not about a genuine desire for self-determination. It confirms what I have been thinking.

Before I proceed, I want you to know that I am an Igbo man, a proud one. I have never spend a year without visiting Igboland and my village since I became an adult. You need to know that, as folks like you have a mob mentality and therefore cannot approach any public debate with the readiness to accept that someone can still be genuinely Igbo genuinely Igbo without joining in the sheer unthinkingness of your narrow thoughts on Biafra, which is really a disguise for the deep frustrations that Buhari - a man that many of you hate without justification - managed to win despite your narrow judgement on him.

Without fear of contradiction, I must tell you that you guys have the wrong end of the stick. For 5 odd years, Jonathan ran the most corrupt and most incompetent administration in the history of this country. You guys spent the 5 years deceiving yourselves that Jonathan is Igbo, that he is our son, that he is Azikiwe, that he must be given a 2nd term or nobody will know peace. Throughout that period, none of you demanded to be given Biafra by Jonathan. You guys did not even have the sincerity to demand for a return of the Igbo properties which were wrongfully taken by Niger Deltans in the name of "abandoned properties". After the civil war, the Yorubas and the Northerners returned all real estate properties to their rightful Igbo owners. It was only the Niger Deltans who have seized and converted those properties to date, despite the fact that they are our next door neighbours and despite the fact that the owners of those properties were clearly identifiable. Yet, whilst the presidency of a Niger Deltan who was massively supported by our people lasted, none of you demanded for justice on that. None of you could do better than supporting his mindless incompetence and audacious corruption in office.

And as soon as he left office, you all suddenly remembered Biafra because you think that would be a way of frustrating Buhari's presidency. You guys are making a massive mistake that could cost you very dearly. I hope Buhari will be wise enough to ignore you all and see that the silly folks using Biafra idea as a camouflage for their political hypocrisy are nothing more than exactly that - pretenders. Ojukwu's son was praising Buhari the other day. So whose Biafra are you fighting for? You think that your hatred for Buhari can be equated as genuine quest for self-determination.

Am speechless, u must marry my daughter.... U bam! True Human

LadyExcellency:
This thread makes no sense.

The people following the thread is in so much bitters that they wish the protesters become violent as they have been suffering from one nightmare over another on the success stories and turnout of the agitators.

They wish and pray for the death of Easterners and burning down of their towns. Their father did it, they celebrate it and pray for another genocide on the East and desire to cease properties belonging to the Igbos anywhere outside the East.

Just forget about them and are serpents and brood of vipers.

So u know!!! Then talk to ur guys... Lets live 2geda

Even for dry season, the erosion no gree dry... Thats to show that those that sponsor your agitation dont care about u....

Duru1:
Why fight when the people say that do not want to domicile in the same house any longer? The house has ceased to be conducive in the accommodation of us and few individuals find it appropriate to vacate. Anybody talking about fight or war in this scenario is bloody fool or a lazy bum afraid of supporting oneself.

only the east should go? Can u?leave us outofit? Can u? Ask those sponsoring u if their kids are in. nigeria or biafra? As am talking now, one am?? Igbo guy they my front. Wat if we begin flog am?

ComradeAbu:
BIAFRA OR Biafra?
"When the arrow of God strikes, things fall
apart and things may no longer be at ease."
Sometimes in 2005 or so, my colleagues and I
resumed back to our alma mater, in Afikpo,
Ebonyi State, to find parts of some of the
buildings falling due to locally-made bomb
attacks from the Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra
(MASSOB). The reason behind the attack was
vague; except that the MASSOB wanted us to
know that they own their land. The governor of
the state then, Sam Egwu, pledged to renovate
the buildings but he never did.
On another occasion, we, the students of
Islamic Centre Afikpo, had a friendly match
with the village youths at Itim-Ukwu secondary
school. The youths lost the match to us by 3
goals to 11. But the aftermath of our victory
was not funny as the youths turned the
friendly match into a stoning battle. One
stunning statement made by the youths in
unison was: "For we country? For Biafra land?
We no go gree." Since then I have a conviction
that the issue of Biafra is an ideology that
cannot be downed with military artillery or
governmental threats or high-handedness. It is
an ideology whose transition through
successive generations has to be curtailed and
killed with wisdom and sincerity of purpose. It
is a dangerous ideology!
I had foreseen an uproar from another region
when power shifted to the north; but I never
envisaged it from the south-east. I had thought
of the south-south. But why the Biafran uproar
and what's the way forward?
With utmost sincerity, President Muhammadu
Buhari's earliest appointments depicted
marginalization of a people whose perceptions
about the Nigerian state have been battered
since the end of the (un)civil war. The
appointments partly deprived the Igbos a sense
of belonging in a nation polarized along
ethnoreligious sentiments. One had expected
that the President would have fulfilled the first
part of his resounding inaugural statement: "I
belong to everybody and I belong to nobody,"
by making his earliest appointments to cut
across all the geo-political zones of the nation.
After all, no geo-political zone owns the
monopoly of meritocracy. Fair appointments
might have hindered the resurgence of this
Biafran saga. But the deed has been done.
On another hand, the Igbo leaders ought to
have come out and speak in unison against the
activities of these disinformed youths
clamouring for a sovereign state of Biafra.
Their deafening silence may let the situation
escalate and God forbid, they may be victims
should such resurgence turn into insurgency.
The insurgency in the north which has claimed
the lives of the big guns, the royal and the
commoners should serve as lesson to the wise.
However, this writer believes that the Biafra
uproar has become a Biafra. Some evil
brains are trying to manipulate the growing
inter-ethnic suspicion and disdain in Nigeria to
foster a mercantile of bloodbath. Therefore,
their aim is to utilize the weakness of our
national security to pursue their unachievable
cause. For instance, there have been claims
that MASSOB under its leader, Ralph
Uwazuruike, has been nothing but a fraud
which achieved nothing more than media noise
and self-enrichment, including the misguiding
and killing of Igbo youths who follow the
movement sheepishly. These claims
subsequently led to the break away of some
people to form the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB); now under the aegis of the arrested
Nnamdi Kanu. In fact, Chief Chekwas Okorie,
the founder of the United Progressives Party
(UPP) and a former top shot of the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), described
the MASSOB leader as "a big fraud." Another
MASSOB member, identified as Mr. Ndubuisi
Igwekala aka Agu Biafra, said that he was one
of those who sacked Uwazuruike feom the
building they named "Biafra House" at Okwe.
"It is our money he (Uwazuruike) used in
building that house. I know how much I
contributed to the building of that house.
When the time comes, we will mobilize to
retrieve from him all the things he has used
Biafra's name to acquire illegally and
fraudulently," said Igwekala. Can we see how
the Biafra has become a Biafra? A big one!
However, the current Biafra uproar should not
be seen as the cry of miscreants but a serious
ideological fraud that has to be doused with a
Solomonic approach. The status quo seems to
bring to the fore the manifestation of Fredrick
Forsyth's prophesy about Biafra: "Biafra will
rise again with or without Ojukwu." Thus the
rave of the moment under the aegis of the
IPOB with a radio station operating from
London run by Nnamdi Kanu is just another
avenue being used via Radio Biafra to dish out
all manner of disinformation - the good, the
bad and the ugly. The Federal Government
must realize that a movement which has its
own printed Biafra currency, postage stamps,
flag, coat of arms, driver's license, to mention
a few, should not be taken for a joke. The FG
should be deft to realize that ideologies are
not shot with guns; they are to be eliminated
on a round-table of mutual dialogue.
Likewise, the government should uphold the
tenets of "Unity and Faith, Peace and
Progress." Government appointments and
allocation of resources should unevenly give
every geo-political zone a sense of belonging;
not a sense of marginalization. Infrastructural
development and job opportunities should
reflect federal character such that we will all
benefit equally; thereby facilitating our long
walk to nationhood; a nation free from
ethnoreligious ranklings. It is time government
started to pursue this practically.
In furtherance of equity and fairness, I would
like to state that there is a perceptual deficit in
our historical background; hence, many
Nigerian youths cannot see through the lense
of history. This perceptual deficit makes us
misconstrue our past by misbehaving in the
present and as such enabling a gloomy future.
My humble findings have shown that majority
of the literature written about Nigerian and the
(un)civil war per se were born out of emotions
and ethnotribal affiliations. Therefore, I would
like to beckon on the historical intelligentsia,
especially the academic historians to write
texts on the Biafra occurences with insight
into its causes and how treading such paths
should not be thought of again. Such texts
should be devoid of bias and prejudice; it
should be based on value-free analyses (i.e.
Objectivity and neutrality).
Woe betides a nation ignorant of its history.
The intended texts may be simplified in series
so that pupils can also benefit from them at
the formative stage of their life. This will help
to broaden their perception about the unity of
Nigeria and thereby foster national integration
amongst the upcoming generation. Equally, it
will be meritorious if the FG through the
National Orientation Agency can initiate media
programme(s) to stimulate national cohesion.
For instance, the NOA can enhance "Tales by
Moonlight" by incorporating didactic aspects
of our nation's history. If these media
programmes proliferate our understandings,
there will be a renaissance towards a united
Nigeria regardless of ethnoreligious and geo-
political diversity.
"To defeat the aggressors is not enough to
make peace durable. The main thing is to
discard the ideology that guarantees war,"
opine Ludwig von Mises. At this juncture, the
government should not remain mute about this
uproar; it should synergize a dialogue process
that can help to disband the ideologues and
their Biafra ideology.
In conclusion, Bill Ayers has some words for
the youths like those agitating for the state of
Biafara, that: "Don't be straight jacketed by
ideology. Don't be driven by a structure of
ideas." Those deceiving our Igbo youths are
marauders using the latter's financial straits,
idleness and youthful exuberance to acquire
their own selfish gains. Therefore, I beg the
youths to realize that our strength as a people
lies in our unity; hence, the call for separation
may only continue to lead to frustration. The
call for secession may only facilitate
suppression and God forbid, extinction. I
would like to leave you with Dr. Moses Kingsley
Illoh's advice: "It is not a matter of sentiment
or boiling emotion. Are the Igbo people
prepared to be on their own as a people? If
you ask me, the answer is no. They are not
well prepared. So why go into an adventure
when you know that you are not well
prepared? It is not enough to say we want to
go our own way; we want to have our own
Biafra but what are you going to do with
Biafra if you have it? Are you going to use it to
destroy yourselves or to build yourselves? Why
do they really want Biafra?"

Help me ask them, they don't even know what they're fighting for!

TechRev:
You that wish biafrans war, have you seen war before??
We dont need to see war before. So many generals and soldiers fought very well and galantly on their first war experience. Stop wishing us war cause you may get more than you can chew.

Ironically as Nigerians wish biafrans war, they get increasing war from Bokoharam. Talk of what you wish others.

Good thing is am not in the north or in the east, my only stand is that u guys should keep killing yourSelves.

vladimiros:
I am also south-south, from akwa ibom...but to compare biafra to boko haram is wrong just wrong..

. Yea, u can't say it's wrong when u stop fellow citizens from having freedom of movement, burn properties etc. The only thing remaining is to bomb themselves . They should keep making noise in the north and east,my state is very peaceful. So they should kill themselves. Who cares??

TechRev:
That does not prevent you dying ASAP too. We will all die anyways. And i hope you really live to see 2016. Yours may come sooner than ASAP.

That's your wish, I only seconded it for you, u don see war before? This one that u guys are causing unrest, u think the taste of war is sweet? U can't imagine my guy

TechRev:
We will die for our freedom if need be!!

"Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry.

. Then I wish u death asap...

vladimiros:
[size=13pt]Boko haram bombed churches and schools and slaughtered thousand of people

go back to your almajiri school.. get brain[/size]

Guy man comport ya self.. I be full time south south o... Yet I. maintain my position that u should not Bleep close to. My hood or else?

Chibuzoc:
What else the end of nigeria
Take note all states in the zoo will suffer suicide bombing
Not boko haram style

Y don't u come to front of my house and demonstrate? Y disturb your fellow igbos? Man up and. Leave ur comfort zone!! Then I will know u guys are serious, those sponsoring your foolishness have escape plans. Quote me, u will just die for nothing!

Duru1:
Can your moronic thought of "what is coming" worse than war?

I see that u are prepared for it?? Just check ur birth cert and see if u witnessed the last one! U will just die for nothing.. Quote me any where u ain't seen nothing!!!

Its so painful that the igbos are beginning to destroy their lives and properties, this means that they are no different from the boko sect. But I pride myself in the knowledge that if they continue to disrupt the peace of my nation and cause civil unrest, they should be ready for what is coming!!!

chigo931:
Bro people just died,unarmed persons for that matter,the lleast you should have done is walk away if you nothing nice to say.
These persons have parents,they have loved ones,like I said it's always beautiful till it gets to your turn
Maybe this poem by martin Niemoller might make sense to you.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Fool! They should kill all those disrupting peace in my nation, if u are among, they should kill you too!!! Simple,

[color=grey] I do not want to E-battle with you and i understand the frustration you feel as i am an ardent supporter of Manchester united as you are. I feel sad that we are not winning games and i feel your pain but you have to understand that every day game is not Christmas. Those clubs you mentioned above have had their off-days too, barca struggled at the beginning of the season even with messi, bayern and psg weren't always this formidable. We are going thru hard times but we will bounce back. Do not forget; we are united! [/color]

We are United, with all the money we have spent, we should at least play free flowing football, not making unnecessary back passes! Ur comment will almost prompt me to say u dont watch our matches... Even in defeat we should be gallant soldier, giving all you have got,This United team lacks the desire, we might win the league o, but i want quality attacking football. Except you are a David Moyes Man utd fan....If u are not, then am shock u dont understand me.

sylvalord:
[color=grey] Sorry if you feel insulted but you despise me. Infact i take back my apology, i am intentionally insulting you, you are despicable. [/color]

I know you have charged ur phone for words battle, but u will have to check back later.. I am entitled to my opinion, and no matter how u paint it,our performance is poor. U dont expect me to congratulate us after such performance, we create no chance, have very few shots on target, and u expect me to be happy with the team. Infact i can state here that u are not United fan, cus if u are you will be realistic with the whole situation. Go watch bayern, barca or psg play, then u will understand what am saying.. To be the biggest and the best you cant play like the current United. #AskScholes

I so dislike watching dis LVG team, no pace, no passion, no drive, no creativity, zero determination etc. The players just keep acting like they don't care, it's so shameful we rate ourselves among the elite clubs, cus we are far down the rabbit hole. I can remember those good glory days when I will watch my darling united under Sir Alex. United is a shame to watch, boring boring united
