This Is For Those Asking Why Agitation For Biafra Is No Longer Strong by EastisBae: 10:30am On Feb 04, 2022 |
Some people are beginning to ask why are majority of Igbos no longer vociferously agitating for Biafra. Those asking that question are right in their observation because I have observed same too! However, some mischief makers are also saying, it means the agitation was never serious, it was only a tool and bla bla bla it goes. They even go ahead to say that should Igbos return to the agitation post 2023 that no one would take them serious. Lol. The question that should be asked is this, why are Igbos willing to give Nigeria another chance? Simple, because we have always believed in Nigeria until others started treating us like outsiders. In reality, Igbos believe in Nigeria more than most others and we walk the talk by investing everywhere in the country unlike those that claim to love Nigeria with mouth but can't invest outside their region! If 1966 never happened, Igbos would never have imagined breaking up Nigeria because we are business minded people and highly competitive, and larger markets would always be to our advantage. However, we are also proud people who would never accept oppression and would rather incure losses to ensure we have our dignity. Are Igbos justified in their reaction to the treatment they receive in Nigeria? Yes! 13 Likes 1 Share |

IPOB like BLM is not in anyway interested in whatever crap they claim to be fighting for. Both groups are Marxist and Zionist to the fire and are only interested in ushering Globo Homo under a Jewish Moshiac one world govt. . Tune to Radio Biafra and you will see for yourself that they are only interested in pushing jewish Hollow Hoax lies towards implanting jew worship on their naive audience which will make them fall for the Jewish Moshiac |

For those trying to blackmail Igbos that agitating for Biafra again post 2023 won't work if we are denied the presidency, hear this and hear it now; the agitation is rather going to take a more resolute and dangerous dimensions! Here are the reasons: 1. There is no reason why Igbos shouldn't be allowed to rule in 2023 because everything makes it perfect for them now. Failure to endorse it by other Nigerians will prove to both die-hard Biafra agitators, moderates and pro Nigerians alike that Igbos would forever be treated as second class citizens. 2. It would be difficult for North to succeed itself and also difficult to allow SW to rule again since they've ruled enough, so denying Igbos that haven't ruled for no other reason than we are Igbos won't be acceptable. 3. Agitating for Biafra is an ideology that comes from the mind. It started because Igbos felt they weren't wanted in Nigeria. The perception rose to dizzying heights when Buhari emerged and opened old wounds. If you can notice, why it is reducing again is because Igbos are seeing an opening that there is a chance that we would be reintegrated into Nigeria like it was prior to 1966. However, if that hope is dashed, mark it today that it would be extremely difficult to tame the agitation ever again. And if you think Nigeria can't break, then I'm sorry for you. Nigeria is already facing extremely difficult times and it is not going to end anytime soon. The state is already weakened and a massive force pushing for breakup would be hard to stop. It is not a threat but common sense, no section would be treated how Igbos have been treated since 1966 and they still believe in the same country. The same yorubas claiming to love Nigeria are doing so because they feel they're getting better deals. Let them pass through what Igbos have passed through and see if they would still love Nigeria. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

By 2023 the country will see another dimension for agitation of Biafra if an Igbo man is not President, you can take it to the bank, if have you eyes you see, if you have ear you hear, by 2023, Nigeria will not be the same again , the igbo political class are begging for that time to confirm why igbos want to have their own country 4 Likes |

cazchi: I am not a Biafran, but the puzzle that the Europeans put together is wrong. We should not have been together for any reason. We will remain neighbours during and after Nigeria. By the way, yoruba say the ship that ran backwards went to get power. If the Biafran people can go underground like this it will be nice. You don't need to demonstrate anything to anyone. Your enemies are much confused when they don't know what you have and are up to. 1 Like |

I don't know where some of you got the impression that the agitations for Biafra have subsided. I think this is nothing but a figment of your own imaginations. A desperate wish that will come to nothing.. That Rochas Okorocha and Orji Kalu them are running for the presidency does not mean that Nnamdi Kanu and his followers have capitulated. Anyim, Kalu, Okorocha etc have always been vociferous about their beliefs in One Nigeria. They're doing what they have always done which is to use their wasteful participation in Nigerias skewed democratic process to legitimatize the evil operations of the Nigerian state in the East. Nothing new.. Those who want Biafra are doing what they always do and those of them from the East, whose relivance depends on Nigerias existence are also doing their normal thing too.. 3 Likes |

That presidency of a thing is just diversionary and a poisoned chalice! Even if the next president is of Igbo extraction, it would just be a case of giving it to them (for one term) to ‘shut them up’! If the president of Igbo extraction thinks he can try to tinkle with the status-quo and bring about a fairer, merit-driven and more equitable society, he will be met by a uncooperative National Assembly dominated by the core north! 2 Likes |

Are they saying that the presidency should be rotated between the north and South west, and once in a while, on their whims, they can consider SS, even when they know very well that the present arrangement of things don't give a fighting chance for someone from SE? South East, for those who have conveniently forgotten, has only 5 states. That one alone is enough to scuttle any process. If they are not comfortable to have someone from South East become the president, they should be uncomfortable to have South Easterners in their 'one Nigeria.' Otherwise, the next president, be it from the north or SW, go hear am. 2 Likes |

tsdarkside: I should be the one asking you whether you understand democracy at all. Are Igbos not contesting already? At the last count, Anyim Pius, Umahi, Orji Uzor, Rochas Okorocha, Peter Obi etc are all campaigning. Yet the same Nigerians that want one nation are busy throwing insults and mocking us. Have Igbo leaders/politicians ever campaigned for Biafra? The bastards asking them whether they don't want Biafra again are the ones going to destroy these country. If you think all those mockery and insults are not being noticed, then we shall see. |
