No need to be pedantic about ibo or ibhoe, or iboee, or whatever! No one gives a shaite and you don't have to respond if you are not ibo! However, when all the nose-thumping idiots are buried alive in rockets aliabo-style, I hope little, kwashiokored dumb asses like you will come cry everyone a river so you can be annihilated.

bashr8: yerimba monkey go and r.rape your daughter you low life

Ricky_Ross: Yes I support it. My father fought for it and now he is late, if there is war tomorrow i will support Biafra physically, financially and otherwise.

The few Igbos not in support of Biafra are the few clowns who refused to develop their home towns, they centered MOST of their investments in another mans state and whenever they hear the name Biafra their heart starts pounding bc they know they are going to loose those properties.

I am a red blooded Igboman, I am not saying one shouldn't invest outside, but invest wisely. I do have investments outside Igbo, and they are investments I can move/relocate within 2 days notice. Building mansions outside Igboland is not in my agenda. I know Igbo is the most hated tribe in Nigeria and any property you have outside Igboland is at risk.

ROSSIKE: I'm glad to say I'm a forward-thinking, pragmatic Igbo guy who KNOWS that Biafra will NEVER happen so long as there is oil and gas in the south-south in commercial quantity.

Look, here's a map of Biafra:



[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Biafra_map.PNG[/img]

As you can see, the existence of Biafra means essentially that the entire oil and gas revenue generated and shared by Nigeria today will fall into the hands and ownership of the IGBOS. Not even the south-south people who sit on it will smell it, as they lack the 'majority' in the Biafran political contraption. Essentially, looking at that map it's easily apparent that Biafra was an attempted oil grab by Ojukwu and his cohorts. How on earth these MASSOB people look at this map and consider it realistic and attainable is absolutely beyond me. I mean, WHY exactly will Nigeria allow THIS to happen? EVER?

berem: Do you think SE needs SS to be on their own in terms of oil and gas? What's your problem anyway? Why are you making it seem the people of the South East are after the oil in the South South.Do you think igbos are so Lazy they can't generate their own revenue apart from Oil and Gas? Why don't you shift your blame to the northerners and westerners who are sucking the oil dry!

USarmy: Why are u guys always scared of Biafra, i thought u can do without us smh, for ur information Biafra have reached point of no return, God bless the federal republic of Biafra

acidtalk:

If you have followed closely, majority of those who have commented are igbos and it appears they don't believe the creation of biafra is possible.

afam4eva: The truth is that majority of Igbos are indifferent to the Biafran course. The people you see fighting for the Biafran course are in the minority. As for me, if Biafra will bring the most sought after development, then so be it. But i really don't care whether we are joined with Cameroon or we remain in Nigeria. I just want Igbos to give this Biafran thing a rest and fight to take their rightful place in Nigeria if it's possible because it seems we've been locked out and the keys thrown away.

Mad Cow:


Nwoke oma...

Such manner of wisdom as you have just spoken isnt achieved by grey hair, but only gotten from the gods..


Tis Biafra agitation thing is causing us more harm than good..

Abagworo: Majority of Igbos are indifferent about it. Say 80% and prefer going about their business. To these people Biafra is a nuisance. The remaining 20% are mostly pro-Biafrans and few pro-Nigerians like me.

Mad Cow: I DO NOT SUPPORT THE CREATION OF BIAFRA...

The Federal government reserves the right to protect and defend the unity of this country called Nigeria, [b]even if it means shooting these BZM and MASSOB niggas..

lagerwhenindoubt:
He is Nigerian and how many igbos truly understand the Spirit of "Biafran" Nationhood.. after the Civil War and following 5 decades of being part of Nigeria reaping the benefits and losses thereof. Nationhood and Cessation is not something you carry in your chest like a badge of youthful exuberance like most Nigerians on the cause of BIAFRA. you (igbos and non-igbos) need to weigh the FACTS outside sentimental zeal. consider the Economic and Political impact and most importantly the tendency for ISOLATION (on all critical levels needed for Nation-building). MASSOB, BIAFRA, NDIGBO are all symptoms of a deeper problem. it is not a MOVEMENT.. it lacks the SPIRIT, FIGHT and IDEALS necessary to bring about a truly Sociopolitical change for the IGBOS

Abagworo:

There. Has never been any struggle where majority are involved. During the MEND struggle, only about 10,000 people were involved while majority of Ijaws were indifferent and another minority against MEND. The indifferent people usually join the winning party when the chips are down.

ROSSIKE:

OK, so If Igbos want to leave Nigeria without taking the south south, WHAT exactly do you stand to benefit from that that you're not getting now? All I see is losses. You will lose all oil revenues currently accruing to you as a member of the federal republic. Your people based in Lagos, the north etc will all suddenly become aliens - illegal aliens - in their respective bases. These are millions of Igbos we're talking about. They will lose all their citizenship rights in those places. Most will be forced to return to the east. So here we have it: No oil revenues, and a sudden influx of Igbos causing further strain on the limited resources of the region. All Igbo politicians will leave Abuja and head for Enugu, to do what? Fight over palm oil profits? Coal? Apart from suffering decades-long underinvestment, the coal industry as a whole is outdated and redundant as nations move towards renewable energy sources, so you cannot rely on that for any economic upswing in the long run. Lastly, without the south south, Biafra would essentially be land-locked, meaning imports and exports would be dependent on access to other nations etc etc. I mean, WHAT exactly do Igbos stand to benefit from this situation?

The fact is the only way Biafra can make sense is if it takes the south south with it. And that isn't gonna happen. So wake up.

noblezone:

The way some of us display our lust for blood (especially that of other ethnic groups) is the very reason Nigeria will never be one and will never know peace. If we can freely shoot people for agitating for a new country, then we should equally shoot those calling for new states or local governments. They are all the same, only differ in scope.

I have the right for self determination! Today the Bakassi are being forced to become Cameroonians and this Nigerian "war-lords" (especially in the net) cannot go and defend them.

The truth is that the more you kill people, the more hate you create. To integrate Nigeria is not a gun thing. To stop the agitation for Biafra, then we must come together to negotiate Nigeria.

Yes, I am pro_Biafran because I believe that Nigeria is too complex for a Nation. The mistrust that led to the war are still here with us. What progress have we made since independence?

I have a 6 year old daughter who wants to be a medical doctor. I am willing to do all I can to see here achieve her dreams. Now, after 6 years of primary education, 6 years of secondary education, 6 years of university education, 1 year of houseman ship, she would likely be sent to Borno to serve Nigeria where she will be very vulnerable to danger for no other reason other than that she is an "infidel", "yamiri" or just Igbo. An "enemy" in a hostile community!

Yet, the daughters of the Borno people are likely to have remained indoors with no development and nothing to offer. I might be selfish in my thoughts, but I am really concerned about my daughter and the legacy I will leave for her. I want my daughter to be very free in her country and if Nigeria is a jungle where she could be slaughtered in the name of what-ever, then Nigeria is not worthy of her. This is just one of the many issues.

A look at Nairaland will show that the tribal wars of our forefathers are still running in our bloods. I don't know if it is a DNA thing! Yet, let me make it clear, that the Biafran dream is a movement that cannot not be stopped, except the root cause is addressed. The number of Biafrans slaughtered recently by Boko Haram is a case in point.

With what happened during the war, who would ever imagine that someone will have the courage to mention Biafra?
Let us for once be honest: have you seen that Biafra consciousness is getting more and more multiplications as the days go by? Its not by accident. It is simply a fact that the forces for Biafra and getting stronger and stronger.

The Igbo indifference percentage in interest in Biafra is not 80, but you could say that they are cautious. Truth is this: Nigeria is a draw back to the different nationalities that forms it. If we were not m[b]is-amalgamated[/b] by the Brutish (sorry .., the British), these nationalities would have advanced far more than what we have today.

The northern nations would be feeding Africa, the western nation would be exporting research and education, the eastern nations would be competing with China and India.

The energy meant for our growth is spent on tribal/religious wars. There is no end in sight!

I am pro_Biafran not out of hate or laziness! I am pro_Biafran out desire for intellectual independence and revolution.

Nigeria is making our generation to be primitive. Look at how people are calling for blood in this century as if this is some 1300s. Its a shame!

Mad Cow:


Didnt read it all..

Point is the same rights you think you have to 'agitate' for a new country is the same right this Nation has to defend its unity from both foreign and local 'agents of division'...

I am indifferent to the Biafran course..

If these MASSOB & BZM Niggas act a fol, the Federal government reserves the right to arrest them and charge them with treasonable offences, and should they resist arrest or fight arrest, the Federal Government reserves the right to accost them by all means possible/necessary including but not limited to the use of arms..

There is a right way and a wrong way of doing things.. These BZM folks have chosen the wrong way.. The end thereof is up to the government to decide..
