Let's be clear about this,is it pitiobi that's spearheading this?? Because we already warned you that after your packaged fraud failed and your failed Lagos captured the next thing is Nzogbu Nzobue?? You remember operation crocodiles tears??
You play a obvious game of diversion and pretence!

Why would anyone think Peter Obi (i take it that’s who you’re referring to in your post) would be the one organising this referendum!? Not a few people (yours truly inclusive) see as naive and too trusting, any Igbo who thinks they can become president of todays Nigeria through a free and fair electoral process in which the will of the people will be the major consideration in determining who wins! Peter Obi, though a good and honest man, is a naive Igbo ‘one Nigerianist’! I supported him to emerge president more in hope than expectation!

The people in support of secession and this referendum are those of us who are pragmatists and realists, and have woken up to smell the coffee! For as long as there are power-hungry, bigoted, greedy and insecure hegemonic elite in Nigeria, for so long shall Nigeria continue to stumble in the dark, maintain a fractious relationship amongst its constituent parts, and continue to plot against any Igbo becoming president….like we saw in the last charade that passed for a presidential election!

I’ve just seen it’s the impostor ekpa dolt that is purportedly organising this ‘online referendum’! Was going to vote in favour of secession until i saw his name! I don’t trust that bastard any further than i can throw him!

Till date we dont know who wants Biafra or not as of today. Only a referendum will give an idea… Ditto Nigeria, as no one has said exactly if expel there want it as well or not
You cant get a Referendum without the support of the leadership of Igboland.

The people who are supposed to carry out the said referendum continue to hand over Power to leaders who will swear an oath to stand against your ipob movement.
As long as You don't have any way to change this reality, just rest.

You are bringing unnecessary self destruct to the region that should channel all energy to massive self development in case of necessity.

Igbo is Igbo the smartest black Tribe in Africa, Ipob is a group under Igbo Tribe,no be all of Us dey do this ipob,You guys should stop bringing problems into the Region.

good one,no igbo territory should be left behind from udi hills down to opobo.igbos are greatly dispised in Nigeria meaning igbos do not deserve Nigeria, how can i be a citizen of a country that has vowed my ethnic group will never be president because of the crime of a delta man called nzogwu whose kinsmen have publicly denied the igbo identit o lor farrr.
Oga, nzeogwu coup of January 15, 1966, isn't the cause of Biafra war. Nzeogwu wanted a new Nigeria. It was aguiyi ironsi who came on board, suspended constitution, made decrees, which gave all powers to unitary or central government we now have, late Ben nwabueze was amongst those who drafted it. Ojukwu kept quiet after all they were from same place or zone. If ironsi tried the coupists, he would not have been removed and killed by the north sir. It was ojukwu who wanted secession, which resulted in d war. Lastly, I have opened that link. Am not against Biafra, as long as it is limited 2 eastern Nigeria. Ipob should immediately remove southern states from that link. We aren't Igbo, and by extension, Biafra, and we will never be

I don't care what we are discussing.

My point is that i would prefer Fulani killers to massacre my villagers here in South West, than to share country with IPOD cannibals.

Of which you would agree with me.

Something keeps nudging at the back of my mind:

After the voting is concluded for this self-referendum, what happens next? I mean, it's a good idea that Simon Ekpa has opted to use a more peaceful approach for the actualization struggle by launching a voting portal, but if my knowledge for anything referendum is much to go by, aren't the government and other peoples of the Nigerian nation supposed to be involved?

Should the outcome of the voting determine that majority of Igbos want Biafra, how do you achieve it when the Nigerian side was not involved in the process and therefore decides to pay no mind to whatever result your self-referendum births?

dunce. am 40 years. The delta north people are from both kogi(asaba and environs), and Benin(Ika, uroboh, isoko) Benin and Yoruba are the same origin, except u want to add Yoruba states to Biafra. I know u are a dunce so u don't know the composition of the mid western regions and various regions of Nigeria b4 state creation.
Re: Biafra: BRGIE Begins Self-referendum Voting For All Igbos by aswani(m): 1:38pm On Feb 02, 2024
I just hope you have removed the so called igodomigodo province from the Biafra you want to actualise.

Make clear what area you intend to be part of your Biafra, any attempt to drift into the Oba's (gha t'ọkpẹre baba) kingdom will not be tolerated.

Don't mistake the fact that some Benin people, who have now realised their mistake, joined your Obidient movement to think Ovb'ẹdo want to be any part of you.

You're already sharing the country with IPOD members since 2012 when IPOD started.

But don't worry.

Your Prayers will come to pass.

Not just your village people.
But you yourself too.

It's your prayer for yourself.
And it will surely come to pass


And again.
And IPOD person will be your president soon.

You know, if the Biafran nation needed the Referendum from Nigeria, then they would have to involve the whole of Nigeria.

But then, the Nigerian Government had earlier made things very clear; that the only Referendum in the Constitution only has to do with the recalling of legislative members, the creating of new states/LGAs, and for adjusting of boundaries of States/LGAs, and not for secession, separation from Nigeria, disintegration of Nigeria, creating of new countries, or any other purposes.

So, the Biafran people said that needed a new nation.
The Nigerian Nation cannot give it.
It is only the United-Nations can grant such.
And the Biafran People needed to get a minimum number of people to actually agree that the New Biafran Nation is the Country they want to be in, and that it is the country they chose as their own nation.

So,, this exercise is a self-determination vote.

Thus, “A People” are coming together in a self-determination vote (self-referendum) to determine if they are ready to be named a new nation.

Other nations are not supposed to be involved in a self-determination vote..
(Not even the mother nation from where the people were originally in, and decided to secede from).

the real Igbo people on south of Nigeria are settlers who have relocated from east over time. Igbo are not among the tribes of southern nigeria, Biafra is Igbo agenda for pure and only Igbo country. East and east alone belongs to Igbos. They are free to declare Biafra there. No qualms. Migrating to other states doesnt make them indigenes

I don't understand.

If a people say that they are Biafra, let them vote that they are Biafa.

If they say that they are not, let them vote that they are not.

Are Agbor People in Delta State not Igbo People?
Are they also settlers there??

its like u haven't visited delta state. Ika people of Agbor are migrants from Benin,so are uroboh, isoko, itshekiris are Yoruba,Edo is Yoruba too. Asaba people are from Igala, kogi state...prince onochobo and diaba, woman from njete village in Anambra. No king in delta state takes cues from king from east. Those who take cues take from oba of Benin. Like Ika kings, isseke uku, onicha Igbo etc
