2023: Election in Biafran-land until after referendum.

FuckThaMod:
Simplydaft, as long as the action of the Nigerian govt affects their life they are still under Nigerian govt. You must be a senseless troll

I was once in a similar situation like yours and for the first time ,I knew the true meaning of heartbreak and the nature of courtship.

1) If you're not yet ready for marriage, don't be in a serious, committed and marriage bound relationship if you do, either you hearbreak her heart or she breaks your heart.

2) Your GF is just a young and naive girl, trying to explore life.
She is probably not looking for marriage or even understand the meaning of marriage. Such a lady may not be suitable for a serious committed marriage bound relationship.

3) If you have a large heart, I will say you should forgive her, come down to her level and prepare to marry her in the next 12-24 months, other wise expect repeats of similar 'cheating' because she will still meet other men that she will like to experience what it means to be with them.

As your a working class and if she is an undergraduate especially in a non-resident Islamic University, she may not be yours by the time she reaches 500L.









Thank me later.

Okay, I seeeeee.

However, what's the meaning of that convenant after her first intercourse?

What if I am not sleeping with a virgin, that mean I have escape the convenant since there is no blood involved.

Jochabed:
Cause that's what I am meant to do when hungry. Listen, the urge to have sex on its own is not a sin, it was God who placed it there in us. But him telling you to wait, is cause he is God and he knows all thing. Marriage is the only " container" that can control the power and the force of sex. If you do it outside marriage, it will be difficult for you when you get married to remain faithful unless you have really repented. That's why we have something called a soul- tie. Sex is not just you going in and coming out, it's deeper than that, that's why a woman bleeds during her first experience cause the blood she sheds is a sign of a covenant that God recognizes. Mind you, when you sleep around you leave a part of you with your sex partner.

So we now have 2nd generation Nairalanders?

Ubunja and his son are both on Nairaland!

SonOfUbunja:
Are you a virgin looking for a reason to have sex? Google will do you good.

It is better to marry her if both love each other.
I know many people in our hometown that were born out of such marriages.

The woman should not leave her husband's family and be giving it to total strangers.

rosy1992:
No, you can take care of her but don't marry her.

Nothing is bad in marrying your late Uncle's or brother's widows. I know some people in the village who even married their late father's youngest wife.

A 25-30year old widow can be re-married into the family in Traditional African cultures.

Oritzy:
Go and look for your own wife to marry mbok.
Don't tell me you've been eyeing your uncles wife all these while even before his death

Bros, you need to understand one thing sir.

Everybody can NOT be on the same page with you. Even in your family, not everybody will share the same level of enthusiasm with you about a particular course ,for instance the Biafrans struggle.

As per Nigeria's structure, what are you doing to change it or dismantle it?

1) Are you building enough arsenal and training adequate soldiers to challenge Nigerian Army to Biafran war-2?


Or

2) Are you exploring the Political option by taking over the machineries of Government?

AntiBalaka:
[s][/s]


And you still support the same useless structure put in place since 1970.

You only believe in Nigeria's unity from an unfair economic advantage.

Since you refuse to address the issues and like the way the country is being run, then all you posted there is hogwash.

Thanks be to thee, my good friend for this revelation. For only a man in whom the wisdom of the gods dwelleth knowst a thing as this.

kettykin:
if not for the starvation of women and children who are non combatants biafrans , Nigeria Military would have been taught the biggest lesson of the century a lesson that would be used by other world militaries in their strategic discourse and training.

something i discovered was that Nigerian Military targetted only civilian Biafran target whil biafra targeted on Nigerian military target.

No, not at all.


Excuse me sir, are you a registered member of any Political party? If not, please do.

If many of us arguing and accusing one another online are part of the decision makings in this country, we stand a better chance to effect changes, whether it is disintegration, good governance, security & defence or restructuring.

Ojiofor:
Your uncles did.

We suppose to learn from History and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Nigeria's problem is largely economical in nature.
There are alot of Youths in this country who grew up without solid education or special skills needed to compete in the modern world.
These are the people that are now Boko Haramists, Fulanis Herdsmen, Bandits, kidnappers and other social misfits.

Our present challenges result from the failures of yesteryears.


The rich can NOT sleep because the poor are awake!

No, my parents did no such thing sir. My dad was in London then.

Ojiofor:
You have acknowledged that your parents committed genocide.Case closed!

I guess you qouted the wrong person.

ConqueredWest is Biafra personified and a super Hater of the Yoruba People.
You can see his moniker.



However something tells me he is going to give his Life to Christ very soon.

Ziggylady:
Keep braggkng like you are immune and tnink this is 1967..,As we speak fulani-herdsmen are not sparing you lots insite of your votes fòr buhari...

When poo hits fan now your eyes will clear

But this is NAIRALAND nau and not Biafran-land sir.




Even after Biafra has been established by Jul 2023, I will still be coming to greet you once in while.


Every quater, I will be coming to spend weekends in Biafra, eat Bush meat with original palm wine in Afikpo, Ofe Nsala in Isialangwa and Isi-Ewu with Hero beer in Onitsha while Amarachi ,Ngozika, Obiangeli or Adaora will be rubbing my back.

















So relax bro, we are together...one love!

AntiBalaka:
Good.

Face your Ruga colony and leave us to our nation state.

Bros did you know that Biafra also bombed Lagos and other spots in Nigeria?

Why didn't you too bribe Cameroun, Tchad, Benin Republic and Niger Republic?

Biafra lost partly because the only people willing to die for Biafran causes, the IGBOs are landlocked and with NO INTERNATIONAL BORDERS which made it easy for their opponents to encircled them with no escape routes.

Ojiofor:
If only your genocidist ancestors didn't bribe Cameroon government with Bakassi in return to blockade Biafra and if only your barbaric ancestor were not bombing farm lands and markets,hospitals,Churches,Refugee camps and schools in Biafraland millions of kids and women won't have died.

Excuse me sir, no one is in prison here and if there is anyone in prison, definitely not me.

As per disintegration of the Country, you are free to do it.
Best of Luck

AntiBalaka:
Nothing but total disintegration can help Nigeria.


You may see immediate financial benefits to remain as one Nigeria but to us, it is the very survival and well being of our children who don't want to be slaves in their own land and their destinies stolen or denied because of one useless Nigeria that benefits the northern sultanate.

You can remain in your prison but don't you dare tell me to remain with you there.

Breaking News: High Priestess is annoyed.

highpriestess:
I don't think you are normal.
Did you even read what I wrote very well?
Pogrom on over 100thousands of Igbos happened in 1966 after your afonja media said the coup carried out by all ethnicity was "Igbo coup" this led to the slaughter of innocent igbos in the north.
Your Yoruba elders went and thanked them for not killing Yorubas in that 1966 pogrom.
I believe you have sense to assimilate the difference between pogrom and genocide.
It's better you remain quiet when intelligent people are talking on the issue you know nothing about.
I won't reply yo any further, you are beneath me.

Eeyah, see pure First class frustration at work.

God will heal all embittered souls in this Country.

highpriestess:
Please, stop telling yourself lies.
What happened in 1966 where over 100 thousand Igbos were killed in the north, and after that, your elders went to thank the north for not killing them in that pogrom.

Till 1967, Ojukwu warned them to stop killing Igbos unjustly or he will ask his people to come back home, even the aburi ghana didn't stop the killing, they continue.
Ojukwu now asked the Igbos to come back, even though wee were unprepared for the war. It was your zoo army that shot the first gun at us that led to the genocide which your awo betrayed Ojukwu when he was offered zoo political position and even suggested hunger and starvation which is even against war laws in the world. Zoo army had more casualties even with the most sophiscated weapons and supports. Go read your history since you shitholians have been deprived of such.
Keep justifying nonsense, till it will get to you.
Who knew that fulani menace could get to your region so soon after you people exonerated and praised them, it didn't stop them from dealing with you lots as they were dealing with other Zoogerians.
Keep supporting evil, that's what you guys are known for. Time shall Tell, it might not happen in your generation but do you know what fate lies before your children and generations to come?

Actually most people have moved on and there aren't second class citizens in Nigeria.

Nepotism, Tribalism and corruption are rife in this Country like in other parts of Africa but there are also good things in the country which we should work hard to hear from.

We all have great disappointments with the Buhari's Administration but he won't be President forever.

AntiBalaka:
When you forced a whole nation to be under your yoke after brutally massacring them in the most barbaric nature in organized pogroms and later by unleashing an un-civil war on them from where you continually deny them full citizenship rights, continue to attack and vilify them why won't they still harbour hatred for you and Nigeria?

This was robbery not scam.

Freethought:
I'm only a little above 30yrs old and iv only been scammed once but that once, its a day I will never forget.....


Like one decade ago, I was a student in one polythecnic in ogun state but I also work as a security officer at lafarge ewekoro just to get some extra dou cos I came from an average background.. I worked from 7pm till 7am everyday and attend classes, mostly 8am till 4pm.

Well, fast forward to the end of the first month, it was a lovely morning I woke up to cos I already knew I was gonna be paid that day. I decided not to attend class that day, just to sleep at home till I receive alert.. Lo and behold, at exactly 10am on that tuesday mornin, I got a 21k credit balance in my UBA savings account. After a long thought of what to do with my first salary as a student, I came up with the conclusion of going to sango ota to get few clothes for my self and also get foodstuffs( as I no longer have foodstuff at home)..

With excitement, I ran to the nearest ATM port, withdrew my 21k, stopped a bus and headed straight to sango otta.

Alightin at the last bus stop, I decided to work down to where I was gonna gt foodstuffs first... On my way, I met some guys shouting, looks like they were advertising something... Guy1: how much is it? Guy2: its just 1k naira Guy1removed 1k naira from his pocket and handed it over to the 2nd guy) Oya give me ..Guy2: (hands over a phone to the 1st guy)... All this happened in less than 1minutes, I slowed down to see what they were doing and a guy ran to me and said " we are doing promo and with just 1k, you can even win a blackberry bold 2"... That BB bold2 caught my attention cos only a handful of student in my school use it, so I moved closer to them. The next thing I remember was that I started begging them to at least give me the sim in my nokia touchlite if they won't give me back my money. I was duped in less than 90seconds, I don't knw how but I remember vividly that one man gave me #500 to go back home when I was crying by the road side..

Its a day I will never forget!

Eleyi gidi gan o, I said this one is strong!

skilfulsagei:
It happened about three decades ago. I was coming from a JAMB tutorial centre located in Bariga to iyana Ipaja. A guy accosted me in Oshodi while trying to board Molue going to Iyana Ipaja marketing a glittering and beautiful SEIKO wrist watch.
The market value of the watch then was N150 so priced it to N25. I was so happy when he agreed to sell it . I gave him the money and he helped me wrapped it inside a brown envelope.
While in the Molue going to my destination, I was rehearsing how I negotiated my way into buying the highly priced watch. The next action was to admire the watch again but I was shocked to my bone marrow when I found three pebbles of flat granite instead of the watch.
I looked side ways to check whether I was being watched because I was shivering involuntary. Nobody really cared, I tore the envelope and dropped everything on the bus.

The Sultan of Sokoto is yet to announced the time.

camoncx2019:
Pls what time is eid prayer - 9am or 10am ?

There won't be war in Nigeria again.

The whole World is moving away from that mentality towards peaceful conflict resolutions.

The Biafran Civil war is a most unfortunate watershed in our journey to Nationhood with many people dieing on both ( my step mother's younger brothers went the war front one came back , later became a military Administrator of Lagos and the second one was never seen thereafter). The bitterness and all the effects of the war still reverberate till today.

ConqueredWest:
We will times 100 of that number if Buhari pushes us to war again

Baale Oko, we have heard and believe you, so clap for yourself and go back to your seat.

BaaleOko:
The general sentiment among many Nigerians especially the North was "Good riddance" after the Igbos returned en masse to the East, and I'm pretty sure there were profound secessionist sentiments among Northerners who massed behind the "Araba" ideology which translates to "separation" in Hausa, so surely secession wasn't a new thing given the atmosphere Nigeria found itself at the time, especially when the Aburi accord that could have solved our nagging questions of disunity was reneged upon by Gowon and his cabinet, having agreed to the terms ab initio in Ghana... Until they were talked out of it by the British. But that's not my point, it's a well known that the only reason Nigeria declared war on Biafra wasn't because Ojukwu breached some clause in the military constitution... the times were fraught with tension, uncertainty, and hate particularly in the East whose people have been hit hard in the fall out of massacres all over Nigeria... Ojukwu had every moral and justifiable right to want out of a union that clearly didn't want his people, and we both know the actual reason Nigeria went to war was because of OIL and nothing more, the " To keep Nigeria One is a Task that must be done" mantra bandied by Gowon and his government, was just a smoke screen to mask the true objective of the Nigerian government. So let's not pretend we didn't know the distinct reason the first shots were fired by the Federal side in July of 67...

Congratulations for the killings of 500, 000 Nigerian soldiers.

ConqueredWest:
Over 500,000 Nigerian soldiers paid the ultimate price to defeat the Biafrans.

Nigeria was losing an average of 600 soldiers everyday for 30 months(900days).


Oyatz the records are there for you to read.

I am far more educated, intelligent and well exposed for silly contests like this.

There are well established indices of Human Development or Measurements of economic activities and pasting pictures of selected private houses is not one.


Locate your mates that you are operating on the same level doing 'Afonja Vs Igbo' childish inter-tribal contests.

Don't quote me again.

TundeBricklayer:
Awka became capital same year with Osogbo can you show areas in Osun that look like these pictures , mind you Awka is third on major cities in Anambra

Lt.Col Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, a seasoned Military Officer with a degree in History from the Prestigious Oxford University was definitely more knowledgeable than what you just painted.

He knew that unilateral declaration of seccession , especially under a military Government is an act of War and he prepared for war but maybe not well enough.
The Igbos living outside the Eastern Region all left for their Region.

AntiBalaka:
Biafrans didn't go to war on Nigeria. It was Nigeria that declared war on Biafra.

Baale Oko,
Nobody takes you serious, you know?
Why do you always feel the need to compare yourself with the Yorubas?..Chronic inferiority complex.

What do you wish to gain by telling your readers how the Yoruba would have behaved if they were the ones fighting the war? Why not tell the world how the Fulanis, Jukuns, Igala or Tiv would have behaved?
Your hatred for the Yorubas can't be masked.

Which Battalion of Nigerian Army had 30,000 soldiers and all were destroyed by Ogbunigwe at Abagana ambush? Do you know what takes to transport 30,000 people? Or these 30,000 soldiers were marching on foot?

Baake Oko, you said another 9,000 Nigerian soldiers were killed while trying to cross the River Niger by Biafran gallant Army.
So you went to the site to start counting the numbers of Nigerian soldiers that were killed?
9000 People tried to cross the bridge simultaneously?

You just bring out any statistics that catches your fancy.

BaaleOko:
So Wikipedia which any idiot can edit is now your source of information on the Civil War? Even with all the countless books on the war written by credible participants and authors, which are also available in the internet database and other public domains ... surely you can't be that stupid to cite Wikipedia as your go-to source. Firstly there's a difference between diplomatic support and military support, and even your useless wiki source is fraught with inaccuracies, misinformation, and evident tampering of facts by some dunce with a false sense of knowledge on the facts of the civil war. Let me briefly school you cause I spent the best part of my life reading and researching on the Biafran war, so I'm educated and versed enough to reel out my facts which you can verify for yourself (hopefully you will actually put your time and brain to extensive use, rather than recourse to the most ridiculous, intellectually demeaning and laziest source as your mainstay of fact). On your Wiki source... It's pertinent to know that more than half of those countries listed there that supposedly supported Biafra DID NOT actually support the new Republic, pick up some books, articles, journals (I can recommend some for you), if you are intellectually lazy to actually use Google and type out the countries that recognized and supported Biafra during the war... the results will actually show up on many credible sources and database. But back to my point, Diplomatically few counties like Ireland, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Zambia, Haiti, Tanzania and few other Scandinavian countries like Norway supported Biafra... But NEVER MILITARILY aided the Biafrans (I'm sure you are smart enough to know the difference between diplomatic support and Military support), so in hope that you do...i will press on with my points. Those aforementioned countries I mentioned, that diplomatically supported Biafrans provided help in various capacities like Ireland sending planeloads of relief materials through organizations like CARITAS, IICC, and the Red cross via Sao tome, and then to Biafra to feed the starving population (God bless the people of Ireland who stood up for injustice to the end). Ireland also did send lots of their Reverend fathers, sisters, missionaries, doctors, and relief workers to help Biafrans in various humanitarian capacities. The other countries I mentioned did play some vital role in sustaining the Biafran struggle by been conduits in bringing international awareness via the press, media, and other outlets available that helped globalize the suffering of the Biafran population (especially in the peak of mass starvation setting in) especially when a disease caused by protein deficiency affecting Biafran children called Kwashiokor began to hit TV and newspapers all over the world for the first time...eliciting an international outrage never seen up till that point.

Now THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT MILITARILY supported Biafra was France, and even this was rather belated and half-hearted, it was actually until the late quarter of 1968 that France started to provide weapons to Biafran soldiers... no other country is on record for supporting Biafra militarily except France... Of course there were few foreign mercenaries from South Africa(like the famous Taffy Williams), Germany (like Rolf Steiner), and few others from Belgium, Sweden and Rhodesia... But this were just mercenaries that were paid for short term periods to fight for Biafra before leaving to their respective countries. For all purpose and intent, Biafrans were mostly on their own, fighting mostly with old rusty bolt action rifles or weapons they captured from enemy soldiers killed in combat, against far better equipped Nigerian soldiers who rolled out British and Russian equipped modern weapons like Ferrets, Saracen armored cars, artillery guns and shells, fighter jets and bombers, hundreds of mercenaries from Egypt, Chad, Cameroon, and pretty much the rest of Nigeria including non-Igbos in Biafra especially from the minority areas that helped to sabotage the war effort by showing Nigerian troops secret routes to attack Biafran soldiers etc... the backbone of Biafran resistance was mostly gotten from what Igbos ingeniously invented by themselves like the Ogbunigwe and locally made claymores etc. For clarity sake, the Igbos faced an enemy force 10x bigger, definitely paling in comparison to its smaller and spent size.

And yes the classified files revealed the statistics on the casualties suffered by the Nigerian army was higher than the Biafran side... in Abagana alone, nearly 30,000 Nigerian troops were wiped out in what was to become the biggest ambush of the war... other battles like the disastrous River Niger crossing attempts by Murtala Muhammad's 2 infantry division that saw about 9,000 soldiers massacred by the Biafrans(even Nigerian officers who witnessed and survived it, went on to write about it in their civil war memoirs)... I could go on and on. The only massive kill ratio the Nigerian government had to their name was mostly meted out on women, children, and old people(Civilians to be precise ) ...no thanks to starvation, terror bombings from mostly Egyptian piloted planes, "shoot-to-kill anything that moves orders" as famously declared by the likes of Adekunle etc.

In hindsight, I doubt any ethnic group would have survived or lasted as long as the Igbos did if you consider the handicap on their end, I'm pretty the Yorubas would have surrendered in just few months of fighting had they been in the shoes of the Igbos (after all the Western region remained occupied by predominantly Northern troops before, during, and even after the war)... and the yorubas were to scared to send them packing... Igbos did, and had to pay the price by fighting nearly the whole of Nigeria backed by international superpowers... I don't want war or advocate for it, but a people who have seen war in all its horrors like the Igbos have with all its aftermaths like the wicked political and economic policies initiated by the Nigerian government to further subjugate the Igbos... You've got to respect them inspite of your bias/hatred for been able to weather the storm ad emerge even stronger in nearly any indices of socio-economic achievements in that country.

When you want to go to the next war, you need to plan very well. Don't rush to war basing your survival on the expected Goodwill of your opponents (what if they don't cooperate?)

Make adequate preparations for food storage.
Train your army well
Develop or acquire superior Technology that is far above your opponents.






Get trustworthy and dependable Allies.

AntiBalaka:
With less than a thousand regular army personnel before the start of the war, the Biafran Army was composed mainly of civilians.

Williams spoke about training (6 mths) and need for more men to win the war. He was impressed by the gallantry and bravery of the Biafran war time recruits.

There are brown roofs all over Nigeria Bros.
Any building constructed in the 1990s is most likely to have brown roofs by now. There is no need to change the roofs that aren't leaking.

Paxie55:
Bla bla bla, mumuric potential terrorist, atleast, remove the brown zinc your ancestors installed since 1500 before talking to me.
Shameless brownie

Sir, we all learn from the past and become wiser.

So what do you think they should have done in 2015 and what could have been the possible Cascade of reactions that would have followed it.

Bigseven:
i'm not the supposed personality you've thought to be, rather i live in nigeria where the trend of events happens. So open your ears, eyes then you'll need not a seeier to tell you what is or will happen
