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.

are you sane atall....??

why are you pickin fights you cant win....??

izac82:
Sometimes I wonder the kind of mindset you guys possess. what brand of mental imagery that reel in your minds is something worth of study. Ndi Igbo, if you want the presidency, work for it. negotiate, negotiate and negotiate. Threatening Nigerians is very counter productive.
What is wrong with you guys and useless threads. Sell your candidates and allow Nigerians to make their choice. Ogi ni di self

Stop talking rubbish!!!
Is there anything else other contestants are doing that Igbo politicians aren't doing already?

Is it not the same Nigerians that beg for unity that are still saying Igbos can't be allowed to rule. Who is threatening the other? You want Igbos to be in Nigeria as slaves and second class citizens to people that aren't better in any way?

Blacks are incapable of deep rational thoughts and that's why they believe only violence can achieve results. That's why we are the worst performing race with no hopes of ever catching up.

Stop talking out of point. Who is picking fight against who? Are you guys not the ones asking for unity? Now is time to walk the talk!

Other races with developed brains will consider the cause and effect to things and proactively do things that will bring lasting peace and stability.

Nigerians have to decide for themselves, if you want Igbos to remain in Nigeria, the gang up against them had to be scuttled and allow full reintegration through consensus. If that won't work, then let's invite the UN to facilitate referendum because we just can't continue like this.

EastisBae:
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.

What is the relationship between the agitations for Biafra and presidential elections in Nigeria, especially 2015 and 2023 presidential elections?

What exactly do you want sir?

Igbos are contesting and if they win, they will be sworn-in.

cazchi:
I hear you. Alliances under the idea of pan-africanism can be made. This is a win-win.
I like the fact that our foes believe that the Biafran struggle for freedom is over.
Nigeria has shown its hand. Time will tell!

That is a sign of failed military training by the NDA. You wonder what kind of useless training they are getting. You wonder why Boko Haram is still powerful. Quotal system promotion and education has destroyed that country. No intelligence just reacting no social or ethical calculation before reacting. They are only galan't when attacking harmless people.

Haven't you seen some mischievous people asking whether Igbos don't want Biafra again to be contesting for Nigeria's president?

The fools asking that stupid question should tell the world when Igbo leaders came out to demand for Biafra? In a democracy, there is freedom of association and expression. So IPOB people demanding for Biafra are expressing their democratic rights and should never be used as a reason to deny Igbo politicians their own right. IPOB people have been angry with Igbo politicians for not identifying with them yet the same Igbo politicians are being mocked by some retards for contesting to rule?!

oyatz:

Igbos are contesting and if they win, they will be sworn-in.

What I want? Simple, for Nigerians to decide whether they want Igbos to share same country with them in fairness and justice or for Igbos to have their own country.

Due to same injustice in 1966, Igbos decided to have their own country but other Nigerians invaded their region, bombed them and starved millions to death for them to be brought back to Nigeria. Over 50 years later, same Igbos are being oppressed which only a dishonest person would deny. Due to that injustice, there is now a renewed clamour for Biafra. However, many Igbos especially the elite are still hoping that something could be done to renegotiate our corporate existence so that Igbos would be fully reintegrated. Yet they're being mocked and insulted. The "attacks" on a person like Peter Obi because he is representing Igbos despite being more qualified than most others is cruel. When would the gang up against Igbos end?

In the 1960's, Indonesia (or was it Malaysia) became fed up with a section of their country. They accused that section of so many things just like Nigerians like accusing Igbos. What did they do? They used their Senate to ask them to form their own nation! If Nigerians know they can't tolerate Igbos, why not allow them to have Biafra?

When would blacks start reasoning well like other races??

Nigerians are tolerating and accommodating each other, including the Igbos.


Peter Obi is free to contest. He has said he will contest if the PDP zone their ticket to the South.
Aspirants for the presidency receive many attacks. Whatever Peter Obi has received pale into insignificance with the attacks (often championed by the same people complaining that their preferred candidate is being attacked) meted out to Tinubu.

The thing is, Igbos exist as indigenous natives all over the former Eastern region of Nigeria which made up Biafra.

You have Ika Igbos in Delta State;

You have Ikwerre Igbos in Elele, Apanị, Ọmerelu, Ubima, Isiokpo, Ọmagwna (Ọmuegwna), Ipo, Ọmudioga, Ọmuanwa, Igwuruta, Egbedna, Alụu, Ịbaa; Akpọ–Mgbu–Tolu, Ọbio, Ọgbakiri, Rụmuji, Ndele, Emọhua, all in Rivers State. In fact Ikwerres make up 90% of the native population of Port Harcourt which is why they have always been able to dominate the state governorship after Bayelsa was created out of the old Rivers State.

You have the Izii, Ẹzaa and Ikwo–Mgbo Igbos who can be found in Benue State.

You also have Ebijakara, Ediba and Usumutong Igbos who are native to Cross River State. They even produced Liyel Imoke who was the governor of the State between 2003-2007

The point is that native Igbos don't just exist in the 5 states that make up South East Nigeria (Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi)
They exist all over the former Eastern region, it's just that in some areas they coexist with other native tribes such as the Ijaw, Ibibio, Anang, Efik, Itsekiri, Urhobo etc.

That's why IPOB doesn't confine itself to just the South East.

christistruth01:
The same British put the Eastern Region together against the Cries and howls of the People of Calabar who thought it was a bad Idea
Yet IPOB. Still think that the Eastern Region the British Cobbled together shouldn't be allowed to go their separate ways too

Do you smell the hypocrisy

EastisBae:
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!

12Monkeys:
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

At the bolded can you guys should stop this stupidity where in the world is power giving on a platter of gold?? You can't force other Nigerians to vote for you they have to be convinced. And looking at how you guys open your mouth and insult anyone that does not agree with you, it would be very difficult for the Igbos to produce the next president. When others were building bridges which is the norm for politicians across the globe, you guys said they are slaves and now you crying that the ticket is about to be giving to the slaves.Is this not stupidity

You also do not have politicians that will help your curse if not people like Saraki and Atiku will not even be thinking of contesting on the PDP platform. But they are taking you guys for a ride. Apart from the useless Yahaya Bello that is deceving himslef do you see any reasonable nothern big weight politician that want to come out on the platform of the APC?? They respect that power should go to the South but PDP is playing you guys.

I truly want to see an Igbo president in 2023 by virtue of fairness but fairness has many definitions what is fair to you might not be fair to me.The fact on ground is that it will be difficult - the best any party can do is to zone it to the south not to a specific zone. Do you know how many tribes are in the north Yaradua is from the same State as Buhari do you see anybody complaning it has to be northeast or whaever nonsense.
