calm down!!!i support BIAFRA but that doesn't mean i shouldn't see reality...
if we leave nigeria,no economy would crumble,nigeria would continue as it is,with it's corruption and every negativity.(remember it still has oil money)..
if it's a peaceful separation then we biafrans as individuals might have a reduced loss although no southern region can be said to gain from nigeria,the best advantage is for us to create a goverment of the people and grow with working laws and practice...

my guy you should understand that you are underestimating igbo people , I’m not Igbo but one visit to Onitsha let me know that the Igbos don’t need Nigeria, see for a people to start from scratch and still be in the possession of intimidating wealth that should tell you something. It’s deep ooo bro the Igbos have money and means , all the oil in Nigeria since the 80s has not stopped Nigeria from borrowing , Which tribe holds the business infrastructure of this country? I leave that to you do you think if they left Nigeria tomorrow to their own sovereign nation you wouldn’t see industries sprouting up? You think they are not observing Nigeria’s short comings? Do you think Nnewi people that have lots of industries in their vicinity are dumb? Don’t you know the Igbos like replicating success? Go and check for the best or top in any field you must find I’m the igbos Do you know how much wealth some of them are refusing to spend in Nigeria because of Bad blood from the Backward North? Do you know how many business connections they diverted on purpose from Nigeria because of bad blood from the backward north? I say again Igbo people have money and means heck some Fulani, Hausa and Yoruba folks wouldn’t be as rich as they are if they didn’t connive to steal Igbo people’s money after the war. The Igbos can and will build a nation far better and more progressive than Nigeria in a few years if they Go.

From a popular musician.” Development Ka Anyi na Achor” that means it’s development we are looking for .. Not backwardness like the north. Do you not understand that Igbo people are in relevant sectors of the Nigerian economy . Omo Nigeria will crumble if the Igbos go Stop playing . Go and check anywhere A nation lead by backwards thinkers always falls behind . If you need an example look at Nigeria . So now how can Nigeria a nation that will still be at the mercy of backward power drunk religious bigots beat a sovereign Igbo nation with progressive And driven thinkers?

gentleman82:
Repent now of your sinful evil ways to avoid spending your eternity in hell fire after you die. Jesus Christ love and warns you to repent and convert now to Christianity to avoid hell fire. Only Jesus Christ can save you by his death on the cross and his blood which washes away your sins, any other ways ( Islam, paganism, Hinduism, atheism, etc) can not save you. Be wise while you still have the chance accept Jesus Christ now and save your soul from hell. Be wiser than Satan and follow the one true God

you are an idiot,preaching the gospel doesn't mean you should say islam cannot save you.....I'm a Christian also but this is not the proper way of preaching the gospel

SarakiBukola:
Lol. Skirt wearing men run... Yeebos

Still doing the same thing I am talking about. Here you are talking about the war we (Igbo) fought with the North, Britain and allies.
Men (Igbo and Fulani) fight, women (yellow bar) tell the stories

Restructuring:
The whole south, not south easth alone

No mind the northern cows. Dem think say na only southeast don tire for their backwardness. Their eyes go soon clear.

Abujason:
See. No response to my post. Only to joke around.
You are probably typing trash from IDP in Benin Republic. Just know that Igbos are too proud and strong to kowtow to any mfer unlike those from the ewedu republic.

igbos were itsekiri and Benin slaves- Reno omokri.

Restructuring:
The whole south, not south easth alone

East alone

Don't had south West a d South South to your predicaments

Funflipper:

Y'all now looking for companies!

Hello, South East is alone in this.

Biafra you want, Biafra you will get...

Ugonna62:
How i wish this will come to past as soon as possible..igbos are people with tough skin,you cant cage or manipulate them, they must react,they are not docile like other tribes,they will resist any attempt to subjugate them even if it entails going to war,even the northern elders can testify to that hence their plea to seek their exit from the zoo.if you dont allow igbos to go having paid for their freedom years ago,there will be no peace in the zoo believe me.

Gibberish!

Think skin people that are fleeing their region on daily basis due to a abject poverty, and migrating to the West and North enmass!

Think skin people that cannot boast of a single city in the entire south east region.


Thick skin people that no single political alliance in the entirety of Earth.

....and will still be chestbeating like they own they the world.

Empty barrels!

blaqoracle:

So Reno is all of a sudden a good source or reference for you after you have maintained he is nothing but a loud mouth with nothing of substance to say. You don’t have a reliable source to point to ba? Igbos are resourceful and will not kiss anyone’s butt regardless of the price. You can go ahead and quote Lie Mohammed too if you want.

ThinkSmarter:
The different between IPOB/ESN and BokoHaram/Bandits/Killerherdsmen.

Disclaimer: I'm neither an IPOB member nor their sympathizer.
But I stand for the sociopolitical emancipation of my people in whatever civil/diplomatic way, other than war/conflict.
IPOB are secessionists who are agitating for an independent State of Biafra in the old Eastern Nigeria.
IPOB with their militia wing ESN caused upheaval and tension in the South East and Neighbouring South South Region.
They went agog killing some policemen, setting some police stations and some INEC offices on fire.
In their bid to cajole the Nigerian State to bow to their demand.
This made the Nigerian government to converge urgent security meeting that led to the upward review of the Security threat posed by the Secessionists to the integrity of the country.
The subsequent change in security code level by the government led to the neutralization of the uprising.
This robust tackling of the activities of the the ESN exposed the government's game of ostrich in addressing the overall insecurities in the various parts of the country.
The truth is that Nigeria have the capacity to tackle the various internal security threats but are just not willing to tackle the reformed Boko Haram, banditry.
Maybe, the government in power is taking it likely with them probably because they are the president's kinsmen.
Or maybe, the top officers in military hierarchy and the top politicians are jeopardizing the war against the insurgency, taking undue advantage of the insecurities to cash out, as their salaries alone won't be enough for them to acquire properties in Dubai like the politicians are doing.
The military officers want to live large like the senators.
To those outside the East, they thought maybe IPOB/ESN was an over hyped militia group.
No, they are not over hyped .
It's just that the government was committed in their case , cause they felt that IPOB activities are threat to the source of money (oil).
Their overwhelming threat made the Nigerian government to wanting to yield to the demands of the secessionists at a point but restricted Biafra to only the five SouthEast states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states.
And that was when the derogatory remark of "a dot in a circle" came about.
They wanted a Biafra like Swaziland, a country surrounded by South Africa.
And that was when the Igbo Elites rose up to say we are not part of Kanu's Biafra.
Since the Niger Delta minority tribes are showing a body language that they can't be under Igbo dominance.
And the government is also selling their own propaganda that Niger Delta should not succumb to Igbo dominated country.
And that was when the likes of Wike and other Ikwere leaders were conspired to say that Ikwerres are an independent ethnic group with no Igbo ancestry.
Edwin Clark and Co started distancing themselves from the Kanu led Biafra.
The People of AkwaIbom were not left out in expressing their stand on the proposed Biafra.
They said, they are rather going to form their own Ibom Republic instead of being in a country where they will be politically dominated by the larger Igbo ethnic group.
And that was also same time when Asari Documbo, the government enemy was lobbied by the same enemy, the government to help them to neutralize Kanu's influence in the Niger Delta.
In essence, Divide and rule was applied to the old Eastern Nigeria in order to create disunity among the old Eastern Nigeria tribes.
The truth is that if Biafra should be granted referendum in the future.
The New Country can only be restricted to the five SE states as the Nigerian Delta people are not willing to join the Igbos.
Everyone wants to be on his own.
Everyone eye Don open.
Everything is business including humans lives.
It's all part of modern day business/politics.
But in all of the activities of the Unknown gunmen, the masses of the SEast were not harassed by the unknown gun men.
Though some elites, politicians were targeted by the unknown gun men.
Though many politicians, cultists, criminals etc took advantage of the chaos to get back at their enemies, either the police or fellow businessman /politician.
Whereas Boko Haram are Islamic fundamentalists that are mostly of Kanuri ethnic nationality with foreign backing advocating for a Sharia country within the Lake Chad Basin.
Bandits on the other hand are Islamic militia from the Sahel (Niger, Chad, Mali, etc) with some locals that were recruited by politicians to play political games.
But after the game, they realized that Nigeria is rich and is good for business.
They then conspired with the few evil elites from the North who are mostly government officials, village heads to start kidnapping for ransom.
The elites gives them cover and logistics.
In simple terms, Bandits are Criminals hired by politicians to steal from the government since technology and eagle eyes are posing a threat to looting.
Unfortunately, most of the political elites have an Alhaji religious titles.
They send their wards to the best schools in Europe and America to read Engineering, Medicine, Economics and Architecture.
While the common man are sent to Egypt for Arabic and Islamic studies.
Most Northern states have refused to enforce free and compulsory education for their people.
Cuz, they want to keep them perpetually uninformed/gullible and turn them to potential foot soldiers for their political games.
The government didn't see the activities of Bandits and Boko Haram as threats to their interests.
As the activities of the group were restricted to the rural areas and doesn't have the audacity to attack state capitals and strategic towns unlike unknown gun men that had the audacity to attack state capitals, police headquarters and even dared the barracks.
Maybe, to them, bandits are just mere business men that kidnap for ransom,
doesn't pose a threat to the unity and integrity of the country.
We know them, they are our boys.
They will stop when we want them to.
They are only after soft targets (the rural /semi urban areas) where the low class lives.
But the truth of the matter is that the actions of the bandits are really affecting the socioeconomic development of the areas they operates.
The elites are evil and can do anything for money.
Know this truth :There is absolutely no way a group of Foreign Criminals will occupy either in the forests or villages/towns within any of the Nigerian 774 LGAs without the locals knowing about it.
The locals are among the gangs of criminals/businessmen terrorising North Western Nigeria.
This is what you get when you denounce western civilization that makes one to mentally adjust to the sociopolitical developments of the modern world.
Instead of Islamic civilization that makes one to be very conservative and stuck in the medieval era and develop extremism towards people that are liberals.
Nigeria has the capacity to tackle the insecurities in the country.
In all states of Nigeria, there is at least an army barrack, some have it with Naval barrack.
The Commander in Chief is just lenient with the Bandits cause he felt they are his siblings.
We are all hypocrites, both the North and South.
When Jonathan intensified military offensive against BokoHaram prior to 2015 general elections after he was labeled clueless and incompetent, the North started shedding crocodile tears, that Jonathan is killing the North with Christian soldiers and all kind of propaganda.
Same thing played out in the South of recent, when Unknown gun men were killing policemen and soldiers, some people were calling them Saint unknown gun men.
But when the government special forces started killing them, our people started shedding their crocodile tears, they are committing genocide against us....
We all understand the game.
But this game won't allow us to build a Country of our dream for our selves and for our children.
Until, all tribal and religious sentiments stop influencing governance, we will actualise our potential as a country and as a people.
Hear the truth, the Whites, Asians are miles ahead of us in so many development indices.
They are talking about colonising other planets.
They are talking of 5G .
They are talking of artificial intelligence and robotics.
They are talking electric vehicles.
They are talking drive less vehicles.
They are talking green energy and climate change.
French , German, Russian, English, Dutch, etc are all white tribes, they have learnt their very bitter lesson after the two world wars and have learnt to do away with their differences and formed European Union, NATO and UN.
All in their bid to forestall future conflicts and wars.
But, here in Africa, we are still stuck with medieval lifestyle of fighting intertribal wars.
Either it's Fulani against Igbo or Yoruba against Igbo, or Ijaw against Itsekiri or Tiv against Idoma or Bini against Urhobo.
We are still stuck with defending an invisible creator-deity
We are still stuck with denying people's opinions/freedom of speech.
We are still stuck with getting primary needs of clothing, food and shelter.
Black African tribes, need to shun all their differences, unite and rise towards actualising her potential.
In order to take their place in the New World coming.

Wise man

The action looks faulty with the following reasons: 1. The FHC may claim lack of jurisdiction in entertaining a matter that should have been heard by the appex constitutional court -SC. 2. The 5 state governments listed for excise were not listed in the action because of necessity of fair hearing ie you can't barb someone's hair in his absence. 3. Referendum is not contained in the constitution except it will be adopted as a doctrine of necessity.

However, if the legal action is entertained, and struck out it is probably aimed to create series of judicial precedents against future secession and separatist agitations. I see willful mischief from afar.

The demarcations and delineations should be clearly spelt out between south east and the rest in the southern region

We are watching and waiting

Eastlink:
Supported but that name Biafra must be thrown into the dustbin. Either Republic of Igboland, Alaigbo or Ikenga Republic.

I am loving Ikenga Republic

Epeegee:
you are an idiot,preaching the gospel doesn't mean you should say islam cannot save you.....I'm a Christian also but this is not the proper way of preaching the gospel

Oga you don't even know what you are saying. Can Islam save any one ?

kingsmerit:
could this be true?

Yinmu!
How can it be true,they are all distractions.
The Unitary democracy being operated I in Nigeria is the most fraudulent document ever and the North is the beneficiaries and that is why they would do everything to defend it.
They can't even allow regionalism because the center will not be allowed to manipulate other regions. Just forget it!

Let’s see how serious the Igbos are on their demand for Biafra, a demand for which they are ready to shed blood is now peacefully coming to fruition.

With they take it up and amplify their position working with this Kano group and all other Nigerians that are wishing them well in their quest for self determination?

Or will they continue to threaten and to insult everyone who is not Igbo and sustain their attacks on the President and Government of Nigeria?
Are they serious? We are watching.

Arewa 12 states that adopted and practice Islamic Sharia criminal penal codes like stoning women to death for adultery, death for apostasy, cutting the hands of thieves - Arewa 12 northern Nigeria sharia states ought to have known that it’s not possible for the sharia states to continue to share one Nigeria with the Igbos.

Yes, you are right. You people should go

But brother the reality is the Igbos are not doing anything reasonable to break out, your elders should be the ones to suggest the referendum close to the constitutional review committee

You made several points in your post, but I think other regions or groups that break out of Nigeria will also prosper except those that would be unfortunate enough to have these 3 ethnicities in them i.e. HAUSA, FULANI AND KANURIS.

Sorry, you're dumb!

Getting guns, artillery and armoured cars from Britain, fighter jets from Russia, pilots from Egypt, large number of mercenaries from Chad and the support of most Nigerians yet your military ended up suffering humiliating defeats in many battles and out of desperation had to resort to blockade, is the height of stupidity and gross cowardice.

Read about Abagana ambush, Niger River crossings at Onitsha etc and see how your army were thoroughly humiliated and destroyed despite the Armada of war equipment they have.

It is ignorance that will make you want to brag with the Biafra vs. Nigeria war because if you're informed about how it was fought, you will be very ashamed!

Did you say "our land of pride flowing with milk and honey"?
The last time I checked Ibadan still remains the land with the highest number of rustic brown ROOFS
And our southwest Is still flowing with shits from every nook and cranny making it top the chats on the region with the highest number of open defecation.
Egba mi ntori Olohun

Ibadan is an ancient city that has been existing since 1800, it amazes me how the supposed intellectual make general references regarding the structural make up of an ancient city compared to the modern ones.

dmbb:
Southeast is the problem of Nigeria, Nigeria will be fast developed without them

Lol...... you think so?
Let's see how it goes. 2023 will decide Nigeria's fate.

I wish our leaders can take proactive measures and start uniting every Igbo speaking groups in lieu to this suit.
The focus should be the exit of Igboland, and all Igbo speaking groups from Nigeria, regardless the geopolitical zone.
But seems Igbos at the moment, is bereft of sound leadership, no wonder IPOB seem to call the shot. #pity

The dot nation will be gone forever. How I wish their slowpoke representatives will have enough balls to ask NASS to break them out of Nigeria

Afonjas will be subjected to eternal slavery by Nothern Hausa-Fulani domination until the whole SW falls within their control like they did to Ilorin.... killing every idiotic ewedu eating Oba and replacing them with Emir

IPOB is the voice of Ndigbo and SE at the moment. Igbo leaders have all failed woefully. They lost grip of the people since 2015 when IPOB renewed agitation for Biafra.

Iffa slap you eeeeeeeh....
Greater % of Ibadan is covered by brown roof old dilapidated rickety structure built by your great grand fathers. From Bere–Yemetu–Akpata–Mokola–Ekobola–Idiape–Olodo etc. Ibarakpa and Oyo towns are not left out of the brown roof. In fact, the whole of SW is covered with rusted old zinc.
