Enahi:
@op please stop deciving Nigerians, Delta state and Rivers was never and will never be part of Biafra.

Issac boro and co were never Biafrans, so shove your stupid article into your anus.

Biafrans are located only in the Eastern part of Nigeria, other Biafrans scattered in Nigeria was as a result of the Biafran war.

Edwin Clark's action didn't go down well with vibrant Ijaw youths that understood that the task ahead isn't something that would be accomplished by Ijaws alone.
Besides , the bulk of the people that engaged in the armed struggle were mostly ijaws while the Ogonis expelled shell from their land and the Ogbas choses to negotiate with the two oil majors for scholarships from primary to university education both national and international level , employment quota and infrastructural development and contracts as well as health facilities and youth sustainable programs which I'm a living beneficiary of almost all of them.
So, tell me why would a neighbor after seeing people like us benefiting from these things want to ask his child or ward to bear arms to get his right back or go about it violently ?
We are making progress, it is a slow one but we'll not go about it violently and if that's what makes us ignorant and lost so be it - Pick up arms and demand for your right , we are waiting for the outcome.

arresa:
I responded correctly to your post and please don't get hypocritical with the word generalization because your post was full of generalization starting with you saying You Non Igbos., meaning the rest of Nigeria. When other people don't agree with you, you're quick to throw them under the bus while you play victim.

And i stand by my post too.

Like i said, political decisions have consequences, you reap what you sow.

Saying ibo people don't make hateful speeches is either you are lying or don't follow current affairs in your own country and your own region.

adbokus:
you write like a well-polished slowpoke that most you are, but hey we aint the ones shouting marginalization like an impotent eze that his neighbour banged his wife! yorubas make noise and yet idiots like yourself come to their lands to school, earn a living and achieve things. you need to rescrew those nuts in your head well your brains are overheating! like you read earlier, since 3million lost soul didnt teach you guys anything annihilation would perhaps! then you all will understand the words " a living dog is better than dead lion"...

adbokus:
the problem with you people is that some of you think that igbos are better heads than the rest of us in this entity called Nigeria, so you go about with such infernal arrogance and illogical supremacist ideologies. you guys are not smart and it's sad that you dont learn too. you yell unprintable invectives on the yorubas endlessly and yet the yorubas cant even attempt a third of the messy undertakings you foist upon the SW on ur own lands. you are ingrates and cruel guests who attempt usurpation through subjugation on anothers property. the yorubas are great achievers of things you can only dream of. and you guys are noisy. always up and about beating your Esauic chest then ending up getting beaten and dead. you guys need wisdom. your brother up there has said enough. however, if 3million was not too alarming, perhaps an extermination will infuse sanity in you guys!...

I shake my head for a generation that has lost its bearing!!!

Intelligent Igbo men, well-schooled in History, know EXACTLY what happened in the civil war and are ashamed of the decisions they took.
Our young men are carrying garbage stories re-edited to suit the wounds of the Igbo elites and running into hell with it in the name of IPOB and BIAFRA.

When you sit back and think of the Igbo leadership compared side-by-side with other regions, you will see the truth as clear as spring water.
Ndigbo leaders know they have failed the Igbos, and instead of telling them "umunna m, we are sorry" - they decided to turn them against Nigeria so that these young angry and vibrant men will not come after them.

Igbos should look at the facts on the table; dig deep and you will see the height of trickery and deception!
God bless Nigeria.

Kirigidi:
One thing I hav com to undastnd is dat, language is dynamic nd shuldn't b d main perimeter for determinin origin of a pipo. Many ancient languages hav died out or gone extinct due to influences of far superior languages on them. For exmple, Northrn Nigeria is made up of hundreds of ethnic groups or languages, but today d Hausa language (due to its superior influence) has virtualy replaced d rest languages as d sole langua-franca of d north. D history of d Urhobo/Isoko clans of Evwreni nd Emede tell of migratn journey frm AKA LAND (BINI LAND) to Elele in Ikwerre where they settled for years b4 later movin north-west ward to dia present locatns in Urhobo/Isoko homeland. Names such as Rumu, Emowhua, etc, in Ikwerre land ar somtimes thought to b of Edoid origin. D period frm 15th to 18th centuries witnessd d outward migratn or spread of Igbo pipo into lands of dia neighbors, where d Igbo language ova-shadowd d original languages of dia hosts, e.g. Ika.

[b]Kai these my black brothers...you need everything to be explained to you in black & white!

Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Jordan. Only Tunisia achieved the object of the Arab Spring. While Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Jordan saw no changes, Libya, Egypt and Syria are worse off today.

That's a success rate of 1/7 or 14%. If you are asked to invest your life savings in a business venture with a chances of making profit at 1/7, chance of making loss of 3/7 (43%) or you will not make loss or profit chance of 3/7 (43%), will you make such an investment? No, that is if you have sense.

That's exactly what you're doing with Biafra. What is your fall back plan if Biafra doesn't turn out as planned?

Another example is to look at countries that seceded recently in Africa ...South Sudan, Eritrea... Are they better off than they were before they seceeded?

You can fix a steady democracy over time but you will have more difficulty directing how a secession will go. Is it Nnamdi Kanu that will be the first president of these Biafra of your dreams? Ordinary MASSOB and IPOB can't even agree on your strategy. What will happen to Ekweremadu, Anyim, Obiano, Peter Obi, Okorocha, Ngige, Onu etc in this Biafra?

You people have not thought this thing through.[/b]

BECAUSE IGBOS HAVE DECIDED TO BE FOOLED BY USELESS AND MENTALLY DERAILED NNAMDI KANU. PLEASE TELL ME ONE PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT OF NNAMDI KANU.

Anyone who has listened to radio biafra will readily admit that the radio has already created an army of potential "genocideers".
On so many occasions, I have heard callers saying that they are ready to kill people based on their ethnic identity.

Kingsolex1:
Sorry brother it's only an educated person that thread the right path in resolving and getting things done, most of those folks protesting only went to primary nd at most stopped at secondary education level, due to one reason or the other but it might interest you to know majority of them snubbed school cause of the love of money, now their elites are not been fair to them, instead of theses protesters to start by handling their elites who are the bane and master architect of their problems they instead chose to fight Nigerians and the Nigerian government, truth is every man alive have his or her own battles they fail to realize we the masses are all victims irrespective of tribe, region or religion.
