You are comparing oranges with Banana.


A ship sailing to Lagos doesn't pass through territories of Republic of Benin.

ProT:
U seem not to get it.
Let me use pidgin:
Nobody get River Niger, no be any country own.
Just as Benin Republic cannot stop ship traversing the Atlantic Ocean to Lagos; or Nigeria stopping ships going to Cameroon.

River Niger is an INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY!

Bros, calm down.




Don't take all these Biafra stuff very serious.

No tribe/Region is truly planning to seceed. There's no elements of seriousness in it.


All these present agitations look more like a propaganda to blackmail the rest of Nigeria into giving the agitatators and their tribe some political concessions .

ahaz:
you and the 16 idiots that clicked likes to this your garbage are all frustrated ..na frustration go kill of una..I promise you that you will unconsciously committee sycide the day Biafra will be restored.

Even Ghosts can be killed the second time.


If you watched Fadayi Oloro's Yoruba movies in the 1980s you will see where he shot one stubborn ghost that was disturbing him.

tempest01:
Lol...oya track OP go deal with am.

You don't even know what you are saying.

There's no River Niger Ilorin!

ahaz:
ooh so you want to claim illorin as Yoruba,you want to grab nupe too...hahahah my God you people are pathetic rogues.

Now, compare Nigerians (which you assume were all Yorubas) who were against Biafrans during MASSOB's era to the numbers of Nigerians who are against Biafra now courtesy of Kanu/IPOB.



The so-called strategy you are saying may only work if Kanu is a Tribal war Lord, leading a guerilla war against Nigeria to allow seccession of Buafra.


For peaceful secession of Biafrans by the conduct of Referendum, you will need the support and cooperation of non- Igbo Nigerians.
You don't deliberately antagonize people that you need their support/cooperation.


Apart from the restoration of Biafra, Kanu/IPOB are making it difficult for Igbos to have allies/sympathizers in the Nigerian project.

Igboid:
I have been on this forum since 2007. This particular moniker is just one of my many monikers here.

I am an old timer on this.
MASSOB and Billie who never uttered any words towards Yorubas, received relentless mocking and bashing on this forum.
Yorubas campaigned for their arrests by Nigeria security agencies and rejoiced heartily whenever new of MASSOB members brutalisation at the hands of Nigerian police or Miltary came up here.

So you can spare me the talks of Nnamdi Kanu.

Nnamdi Kanu noticed that many Igbos are attached to Nigeria because of their associations with Yorubas and other Nigerians.
NK wanted to break those ties, so he hit up the polity to intensify Yoruba Igbophobic nature and expose and docile Igbos to them, in hope to make them to detach themselves from Nigeria and Yorubas and lean more towards Igbo nationalism.
And it's working.

It's a dirty method, but it's yielding results and have its place in the struggle.

The Azumini Blue River is a beautiful sight to behold, especially with the lush green vegetation surrounding it in ways that paint a majestic gift of nature to this country.


The State Government supposed to go into partnership with the private sector to build and maintain a Zoo and chalets around it as a Tourist destination.

Igboid:
Afonja, I mean the below.

You see how beautiful it is, right?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.myguidenigeria.com/things-to-do/azumini-blue-river/amp/
Pure tourist heaven.
Cry for me Afonja, cry

This is a great example of Fallacy of hasty generalization.

1) Yorubas and Igbos are not the only people on Nairaland. There are Nupes, Igala,Tivs, Efik, Urhobos on Nairaland too.

2) It's wrong to assume that anyone/everyone that say or open a thread against Biafra must a Yoruba.

3) Debates about the S/East being landlocked or not doesn't mean hatred for Biafra

Igboid:
You must be funny.

Yorubas have been opening numerous threads claiming Igboland is landlocked.
This thread is only a counter thread.

We can do River course diversion if need be to swell up volume of Imo River.
We simply divert and rechannel all Rivers and streams opening into River Niger from Igboland to IMO river.
Chinese are already adept at this technology.

We have so many options in Igboland. Biafra will be a great nation.

On a more serious note, have you had sexual intercourse with the woman before, even if it's by mistake?

Cloud699999:
My brother fear of the unknown they really scare man. There were sound from her room, things hitting the War. And her apartment is locked.

It's in our imaginations.

Corpses are helpless and they can't fight or harm the living except through the spread of highly contagious diseases.

ifysimple:
Don’t be scared if you or your gf knows nothing about her death , she died b4 her time and her spirit still in the vicinity just summon courage and when she bangs tell her to go away and let u be in peace . U won’t see her again that’s it .


I think this should solve the problem.

I once worked in an event mgt center. They handle weddings, burials etc. They have pall bearers and mortuaries too.

The mortician sometimes tells us wierd stories about corpses.
He once told us about one young married lady s corpse that was brought in. From the night she was brought in , the mortuary started experiencing trouble. The mortician sleeps in the same mortuary compound in a general hospital.
He said every night he will be hearing serious bang on the mortuary door. He thought he was the only one hearing the noise and has happened for like 3 days.
Then he went to buy something in a shop around the place and they were asking him what was happening in his office. lol

He said that night before he slept he brought out that particular corpse and told her that the person that killed her is not here and begged her to go after those that killed her and that she should stop disturbing others.
From that day no noise again till she was removed.

He said he later found out that the girl was having problems with the husband s people and died in the process

Pack out for a mere Ghost?

Will the Ghost give him money to pay for new accommodation?

Allaboutkatiee:
Wow
Just like Hollywood movies
The only thing you can do is either bringing in a very strong pastor or you pack out of the house to avoid stories that touch.

Alternatively she can be dealt with.

tempest01:
OP i think two people have given good suggestions.

First, wait for her to be buried, maybe she'll wander towards the village and finally rest.

If it continues after the burial, when next you feel her presence. Talk out. Call her name and say the dead have nothing to do with the living. That she should go and rest in peace in the land of the dead and leave the living be.

Any video record of this 'Prayers from the ghost'?

Gee64:
My own story:
When my father died, his voice was still heard in the room singing hymns to God for 7 days like he did when he was alive. He was even heard praying for his children. Everyone in the house always sat still between 1am and 2am listening until it finally stopped after 7 days!

And how does all these facts concern the Yorubas?

What's the essence of the OP bringing the 'WEST' into this thread?

Why the need to always bring the Yorubas into the Biafran matter with the funny impression that the Yoruba are the obstacles to Biafran secession?

gwafaeziokwu:
After seeing facts as presented by the OP, you want to drag another person into baseless argument with you.

What do you want him to debate with you?

That River Niger do not exist or that there is no international law guilding it. Or you do not understand the assertion that if Nigeria split River Niger is the lifeline of the north in terms of sea access. East has an alternative in Imo river.

Why is it really important to convince us that we are landlocked. Wetin be your own?

Where did you get the impression that they don't drink beer in Kano?

Where did you have this funny ideas that Yorubas and Fulanis don't invest outside their homelands?

There are many Yorubas that derived their means of livelihood in the North, Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Asaba and S/East.

Igbochief001:
Let's come together and build a better nation ? Really ...?

Honestly apart from igbos ,maybe old Bendel and akwa cross no tribe has ever and still believe in one Nigeria

It's not by singing it , how man yorubas invest outside their zone ....how many fulanis do ? This people in the back of their hearts know Nigeria is not one , so why pretend ? ..

That's the thing about Igbo man we never pretend we day how we feel always no matter what

You want us to unite as a country ...are you ready to lose your cultural identity for Nigeria ? Because we can't have our individual cultures and still be United

Are we ready to enthrone merit no matter where they come from ? Would the north accept this ?

Nigeria is not meant to be one....how can I be in my country and I can't drink beer in Kano ?

This write up is full of pure hypocrisy

Again you just confirmed my assertion.




Most Biafrans only abuse and curse people online. They have nothing concrete to prove.

superlightning:
Another stupid story. Suit yourself.

You are making the same mistakes;


All these problems of the Yoruba people are NOT the reasons why Biafra hasn't been restored.



You are fighting a wrong battle by focusing your attentions on attacking the Yorubas which is just one out of over 300 ethnic groups in Nigeria.

SciLab:
Same old story.
The average yorubaman has a defeatist mentality that's why they've abandoned Kwara to the fulanis.

Now when a yorubaman feel defeated, he expects to the Ibo man to also feel defeated and becomes the primary source of discouragement for others with resolved will.

He doesn't really want you to succeed in that quest becuse he has resigned himself to the fate of failure and want to you to also be at par with him.

Unfortunately for them, the Igbo man is not a man with a weak resolve. He'll take his chances no matter how slim. If the yorubas were the ones who lost the civil war to British and Russian miltary power, with their defeatist attitude, I don't think they'll ever rise again. Much of yorubaland will be like the Ibadan brown roof refugee camps which are echoes of the kiriji war fought 200 years ago.

Excuse me bros,

What exactly do you think is the reason why Biafra hasn't been restored?

kettykings:
sometimes i really wonder why some Nigerians are so brain dead and brain locked, is it not the same Nigeria that its president went to a UN general Assembly to be campaigning for the Palestinian state and the South Saharan state, the braindead people do not find any issues with that, but when it comes to biafra millions of threads are now opened to explain why biafra will not work.

You are throwing unnecessary childish tantrums instead of you to think deeply about the issues and contribute intelligently.


Yorubas are NOT the reason why the referendum has not been held.

The truth is that nobody truly want the secession, even Nnamdi Kanu doesn't TRULY want Biafra.

superlightning:
Copy-copy, please don't disintegrate. Stay with your caliph superiors. cowards.

Most young and overzealous Biafrans wrongly assume that the Yoruba people are particularly against the creation of their utopian Country.

The Yorubas aren't the reason why Biafran hasn't materialized.

The real reason is because those who TRULY want Biafra are in the minority and they don't have any political war to push it through.
They are mostly Okada riders, traders, farmers etc.

Most Buafran enthusiastists are only doing so ONLINE, they have no REAL intention to see it created.



If all the State Houses of Assembly in Igbo States have passed a resolution calling for the restoration of Biafra and all their Senators are lobbying other senators to move the same motions in the National Assembly, the whole world will start taking them serious.

This is a figment of your imagination to console yourself.
1) In the event of disintegration, EVERY Geopolitical zone/ethnic group will form it's own country.

2) The North and the Yorubas won't be in the same Country.

3) Even the Noth will disintegrate into at least 2-4 different Countries.

superlightning:
Yorubas are afraid of losing the igbos. They know they can't face the north alone.

The Apapa wharf was built inside a LAGOON.

OFFICIAL336:
Yoruba Moslem, Apapa sea port is 50 nautical miles to the Atlantic while Azumili is less than 25 nautical miles.

Heavy dredging was done before Apapa could become functional

You don't understand what happened in Sudan. They fought a destructive civil war for over 20 years after which both sides were tired having depleted their resources, energy with waste of lives.


They both reached an agreement to grant South Sudan automomous rule for some years, then followed by a referendum if they want to remain or seceed from Sudan.

humilitypays:
if the powers that be like US become interested in getting Biafra out of Nigeria, they don't need approval of parent country. They will apply international diplomacy to force them to accept.


North Sudan never wanted South Sudan to go because of crude oil, but the moment US developed interest, they gave South Sudan freedom. Same happened to Israel.


Nigeria will sure divide, just a matter of time. You know that

Mr Man,stop all these childish mentality that everyone that's not supporting Biafra must be Yorubas. What brought Yoruba Activists into this matter?

Do Biafra and Yorubas have a common border or under the same States/Region?

humilitypays:
then stop saying what you dont understand its process, stop that nonsense talk of talk to your Governors and Senators to help you get out of Nigeria, it has never happened anywhere, it doesn't happen that way. It usually starts with secessionist movements, agitations by non partisan politicians, mostly human right activists, courageous soldiers do theirs through coup detat or civil war which is old and outdated.


Nnamdi Kanu is on course and he is making progress, though he fumbles at times. Nigeria will not last long, efforts are being made.


The Governors and Senators from the Southeast will be caught under surprise. They cannot get Biafra for Igbos. You get your independent state mostly through foreign diplomatic games and UN charter....get the right nations to your side and it is done.

In the past it was US...but their recent President have no interest in foreign politics and melding. Maybe future ones maybe like before.


Only UN can dissolve a nation not national assembly, stop listening to quack Yoruba activists and politicians trying to discourage Igbos from seeking for secession through their talk to your Governors and Senators to pass a bill, what bill

Which President will endorse and pass such bill into law

You don't think of making your life better but only think of killing all the people you perceived as your enemies, no wonder you are at this level.

nototribalist:
Fulanis think we've forgotten what they did to our people. If I have the power, all Afonjas and abokiis will die this night

Check your source again.

1) In the 1979 elections, the UPN won Presidential, Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Bendel State.

2) Despite all the alleged rigging and irregularities in that election ,Shagari got 5.6 Million votes, Awolowo got 4.9 Million votes (won 53% in Bendel) , Azikiwe got 2.4 Million votes (won Anambra, Imo and Plateau States).

comos:
1. Ogbemudia of NPN later won after Ambrose Alli. ( Bendel people voted for Ambrose Alli not UPN)

2. Shagari defeated Awolowo hands down ( Bendel voted massively for NPN)

3. Oshiomole was very popular then due to his labour activities but it wss Lucky Igbinedion and other PDP stalwarts that brought him to power.

4. Edo are mostly PDP supporters but they will vote for any competent person irrespective of the party just like Obaseki.

By extension, do you also think that The Arewa Republic can also build a River Port on the Upper River Niger at Lokoja and start shipping their goods through Biafra enroute the Atlantic ocean?

gidgiddy:
Nigerian Sovereignty does not extend to international waters or water ways. Nigeria may own the land, but it does not own the River. In the event that the SE becomes an independent country, it can do all its shipping through Onitsha, Oguta and Obuaku and theres nothing Nigeria can do about it without violating international law

How did Buhari comes into this matter?

ignis:
Double standard... Government of Nepotism.


Buhari has finished Nigeria.

Dr Okechukwu Ikejiani was a Lecturer and not the Chairman of the University of Ibadan.

The cases are however very similar.

Amotolongbo:
Another Nnamdi Azikiwe- Okechekwu Ikejiani kind of case,

where Ikejiani brought a Doctorate degree certificate in Medicine from Toronto to be imposed as the Chairman of the University of Ibadan by Nnamdi Azikiwe, the visitor to the school.

The author,
Churchill Okonkwo is not a Yoruba man. Please follow him on Twitter

Igbochief001:
Honestly why do yorubas want one Nigeria really ...it's something I can't really understand ...

What have they benefited from one Nigeria ?

Allow igbos do their thing abeg

You don't Know what you are saying sir.

1) Liverpool and NOT London is the main Port that is the centre of Maritime Industry in the UK.

2) You can just stroll into another sovereign Country and start dredging River Niger or Azumiri River to the Atlantic ocean.

Can the People of Niger Republic just enter Nigeria and commence the dredging of the same River Niger from Kebbi to Opobo in order to have access to the Atlantic Ocean?

3) Badges to and from London pass within the territory of the UK and not another sovereign Country .

Can the people of Lokoja just be using boat freely down River Niger into Biafra anytime and anyhow they like?

gidgiddy:
I dont understand where this Okonkwo guy is coming from. Lets just assume that the South East becomes an independent country, will it have acess to the Sea? People keep talking about being "landlocked" as if that is what is important. What is important is if the SE has access to the Sea, not if it is landlocked. Many people have come to believe that being landlocked is the same as not having access to the Sea, it is not. The River Niger and its tributaries are international waterways which are owned by no nation. Nothing stops the SE from building River ports in Obuaku in Abia state and Oguta in Imo state and dredging the River to the Ocean.

Another thing people dont consider is badge technology. London is the capital of Britain and handles much of Britain's export/import yet London is landlocked. But fortunately for London, it has the River Thames that runs through London to the ocean. The only thing London did was to build some River Ports then use barges to move goods in out of London via the River Thames. These barges will sail to the River Ports, collect containers, sail to where the River empties into Ocean, wait for the Merchant Ships to arrive, discharge the export containers, collect the import containers and return to the River ports. They didn't even bother to dredge the River Thames because the huge merchant Ships dont have to use the River Thames

This can be replicated in Oguta, Obuaku and even Onitsha. I dont know what the argument is all about, the SE has full access to the Sea

Why is that there is no agitations for secession of the North despite being the poorest part of Nigeria?

Asuito7:
If it landlocked what then will you say about the North abi is it both sealocked and landlocked

Burkina Faso is shipping through Ghana, Botswana is shipping through Namibia and South Africa, Ethiopia the same thing through Eritrea and a couple of other European countries. Just go and find out.

If these countries are doing this, what do you think of Biafra. They will ship through their southernmost neighbors if eventually their southernmost neighbors doesn't join them in their independent country. And as such their economic activity continues.

I always laugh at you guys ignorance when it comes to this Biafra landlocked of a thing.

You should even worry about the North because they are not closer to the south and the Atlantic Ocean unlike Igboland.
