Let's talk biafra for a minute, I read the comments of many biafra supporters. You tend to think that all igbos must support biafra and anyone that does not is a betrayal.
We igbos are a very intelligent and independent people. We do not fall into group thinking. We are able to think for ourselves.
I often ask the biafrans, what would be the advantage of a biafran republic or are we just creating a new nation for the sake of it?
Most of us were not born during the biafran war our parents fought. The only country we know is nigeria.
So why should every igbo support this biafra adventure.
I have nothing against you guys. Good luck with your adventure. But you have to remember that biafra or not, we are all igbos and that's what matters.
Not everyone would support you adventure. And don't expect everyone to.
Again you guys have been fighting for biafra for decades now. I remember MASSOB and now IPOB. If we tell ourselves the truth, it's all games. Nothing has changed. In the words of Tupac, I see no changes.
Next 50 years you would still be fighting for biafra.

Tcwork:
Talk is cheap. You are angry with another man for buying property with his own money. Are you a dictator. That's the problem with you biafra kids you expect everyone to reason and act like you.
We igbos are free minded people. Go and read your history, igbos democracy is one of the oldest in the world.
We don't need your king nnamdi kalu to teach us where to build our houses or invest our business.
Funny thing, nnamdi kalu is well invested in UK and even has a British passport and you feel you have the moral rights to tell or command any igbo. You want to teach us where to do business.
I wonder the kind of biafra you would build with kalu as your dictator.
The reason why igbos economy grew was because we were able to spread very quickly across Nigeria after the war.
One more thing, I noticed that you biafra guys are very insulting, it's as if the worst of igboland came together for this biafra business.

I am not angry with another man, I am angry with the man's stupidity ....he has the choice of remaining in Nigeria or align with his people


The truth is that I am not an IPOB sympathetic but these are making inroads and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it....the government is taking note


You have to align ...all of us are in Lagos though not all of us are stupid


So why don't you keep quiet and adopt to the realities

Wow, smart man. You openly call millions of igbos stupid because of their search for daily bread and self reliance.
Since you are not stupid like us, we would be coming to you to teach us where and how to invest our funds.
Let me give you some live examples.
2 years ago, I started investing in agriculture. The cheapest land I found in the east was above 100k a plot. I was able to get an acre of the same amount in ogun and oyo state. So as a biafra what would you advice.
Again I transported my goods from oyo state to awka.
I spend less that 2k to settle boys from the village in oyo up to agbor. Between onitsha and awka, I spent more than 5k to settle boys on the road, I am not talking of police.
So as a stupid man I decided for me it's more profitable to sell in lagos. Even though prices are higher in the east but I am more comfortable doing business in lagos.
I gave you these 2 example's to show you that tribal emotions have nothing to do with business. It's all about profit and loss.
We all do business where we would be more profitable. We all have families to feed.

I am amongst those millions living in lagos and also I know majority of Igbo are okay with that...let us stop this online noise, I hate it...the Igbo living in Igbo land and Europe have made up their mind, It is left for us to align or be left out...This your online cry is pointless..It affects me also, I have business here in Lagos but the truth is that change is permament and If the Million (overwhelming population) of Igbo globally be it in Europe, USA, Asia and more Importantly South East has said they want out, we Igbo in Lagos and Abuja cant do anything... we are just vocal minority, the bulk of igbo population is in East and Europe, and they have the clout...I would love a full autonomy but if they insist on BIAFRA, who am I to go against them, by the way in 1967, we had igbo investment in lagos also

So we have to aligh with the realities, but why are we nzuzu...did 1967 - 1970 no teach us anything, abi you no hear say Aku ruo uno, amny Igbo in North have started ploughing and repatriating their investment, even here in Lagos, I know peopla that are building structures and investing in East...Ekwusigo m

Aghara ndu kpaa aku....
Agha akpara akpa adiro eri ngworo
ukpana okpoko gburu nti chiri ya


oga this your rant , I no get time, make I focus on more important thing...if Biafra comes, we in Lagos have two options, either to align with the narrative or apply for stay in Nigeria, by the way we have igbo in Ghana, Benin etc...but trut me, majority of Igbo will key into the new nation...be it Igbo in Lagos or any where..The igbo identify opportunity and new ones...so it is left for you to take a decision...abeg i no fit talk again till evening...this is productive hour

You just keep publishing falsehood. There has never been a time that we igbos have been called to vote on wether we want biafra or not.
If you claim majority of igbos want biafra, have you asked them why they have not moved their homes and businesses to igbos land? We don't just say anything. Carry out a vote first to find out who actually likes it.
Again the igbos nation is not a cult that takes away individual decision. It's finally left to me and you. Kalu wouldn't decide for us.
Before you start talking for all igbos, let's have a democratic process. Let's ask every igbo and let's count vote then you can talk about what igbos want. But before then you can't talk for igbos.
I understand many of you love nnamdi Kalu but the dude doesn't even have a single investment in the east. He is not a fool. He is a multimillionaire.

JEWS DID NOT MOVE TO ISREAL WHEN THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR IT, THEY MOVED WHEN IT WAS MAPPED OUT. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT

I see you are hurt.. I never said anything to hurt you. Take it easy.
I only laugh. You guys have been forming biafra since before I was born. My grandchildren would come and you would still be making the same noise. Una no dey tire?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
I wish you well.
And stop quoting the jews. The state of Israel was created by the United nations.

I am not hurt...I am telling you the reality so that you can smell the coffee...weather you weep or rant from here till tomorrow...the truth remains that the onus is on the South East Igbo to decide

Now you are talking... let the igbos decide and not IPOB deciding for us. We the igbos would decide if we are ready to loss our property for biafra.
We every Igbo is allowed to vote then we would understand what the igbos want until then, stop show some respect for all igbos even those that don't agree with you. We are not your enemy.

You still have your head in the sand, what they have been asking is to vote and that is what is it.... But the truth is that many Igbo here in Maryland are in support of Biafra , many have started investing in East and slowing down their acquisition here


Nwanne bụrụ uche
Mụrụ anya ka azụ ...maka iti makwara
I am also in Lagos and there are critical decision I have taken and many Igbo have taken such

My friend build a massive hotel in Awka and he is building another one in Owerri...he said he ant build them in Lagos here ! A lot of guys are building residential blocks in Owerri and Awka as I am telling you...these are the intelligent Igbo not the nzuzu ones

I only have a two bed house here ...all my investment will be in East, I no fit shout....when it happens we move not we wail

funkekemi:
oga where have you been , what of doctokwus

Around.
Decided to give nairaland some space because people take positions not based on logical thought processes but blind support of a person,government or action,even if the incompetence,bigotry and deficiencies of that person stares directly in the supporters faces

oga let's have an official vote. Stop your guess work.
The wealthiest igbo men have most of their investment outside the southeast.
Chrome Group
Coscharis Group
Africa Capital Alliance
SLOK Holding
SEPLAT
Capital Oil
Atlas Oranto Petroleum
Next oil
Airpeace
These men have more than half their businesses outside igbo land. Mostly in lagos.
Ibeto oil has about the biggest tank farm in lagos.
I know you would claim to be more intelligent than these men. Maybe their heads are also in the sand.
Have you also noticed that hotel building is the main business in the east?
Let's face it, the east is a hard place to do business.
Again since you move with fellow IPOBIANS, it would always seem to you like every igbo is an IPOB.
You would hardly see people like me in your circle so you get to believe that you are a majority.
For now, I advise you stop bring the minister of statistics until you come out with clear numbers.
When you are able to give an accurate percentage of igbos that support IPOB, then we can talk

Lol.. I am beginning to enjoy you. Please don't take it personal. I love this exchange with you so that others can see that not all igbos are IPOB. We have igbos who are more interested in growing their businesses and taking care of their families than to lead their children to a future of uncertainty.
Some of us would give everything to keep our children save and the IPOB stuff is not helping. When the trouble comes, na all of us go face am.

Thanks for checking in.
Been checking some threads and airing my views.

buckeyemedia:
So South Sudan thought, Fantasia building an illusion in the sky, better start working hard & stop wasting your short life, Nigeria will never divide in your lifetime, the labor of our heroes past, shall never be in vain.

Is Nigeria bigger than USSR that many countries in Caspian sea came out from
is Nigeria bigger than India that Pakistan, Nepal etc came out from
Is Nigeria bigger than China that Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam and Taiwan came out from


These countries divided

We must negotiate with these sepeeratist ...USA negotiated with California when they wanted out !


We pray for unity and peace in Nigeria but if peace and development can't come as united country, we can try separation

It takes division for Dominican Republic to realise that Haiti is dragging them backward

It takes separation for Singapore to realise that Malaysia is dulling them

There are instances sir


We all pray for peace and development.....that is my take be it as a united country or separates one


We must have a developed nation in black Africa ... Enough of these mediocrity

Parnicking in advance .where were you when unknown gunmen dominated your region and attacking polices' stations and Nigeria security forces ? "A sponsored bandits from the north" Distroying your region and your children including Kanu terror are celebrating it on medias? Your children want Biafra!!! you elders want 2023 presidency !!!!!! This is the sign of most confusion Tribe in Nigeria.
