I would love to see the Political leader, Ohaneshit and MASSOB take up this case to the FG and NASS. They should make it as fast as possible
Taking it to NASS won't work.


An Igboid lawmaker from Rivers state, Chinda raised the issue of Nigeria's secession at the floor of the house of reps last year, he was shut down by other lawmakers from the North and Southwest immediately.


You know that route won't fly.

The only way is to use international diplomacy by lobbying any of the Western powers or Eastern power Russia. Any other way won't work and you know it, you are just taunting or will I say mocking Igbos.


Please support Biafra secession, it is for peace to reign in Nigeria and for greater good of Nigeria. I don't know why you Yorubas hate to hear Biafra want to secede but you also hate to see Igbos in Nigeria, it's really something of wonder, it's well

Some NIGERIANS know how to play the Politics and their regions are still better than the SE right? Interms of development and economic advancement NO REGION in NIGERIA is economically more viable than the SE, holistically.

Apart from LAGOS in the SW ..name any state or region that is better than the SE.

Even TRUMP will fail in NIGERIA as President.

You appreciate a country that regions support

JIHADIST
Drug dealers
Document forgers
Identity merchants

as leaders?

You are a JOKE and a real disgrace.

Anyway, as I said previously..we have moved beyond the banter of foolish assumptions to actual proactive frameworks.

Tell your OGAs that IGBOs..will Not relent till BIAFRA is attained, by HOOK OR CROOK.

So because your foolish pipelines are still pumping oil abi? Because, people don't want environmental pollution in their region, because of farmers abi?

You failures will get the MEMO ..

As regards the 'warfare' threat, that FORMAT is DEAD. angry Una for start Python Dance again..
Useless losers

Nonsense angry



SmartPolician:
You people went to school, but you cannot think. You cannot defeat the Nigeria state in any warfare. The only way to end one Nigeria is a union between two regions using lethal force to attack Nigeria. Unfortunately z no region is willing to do that. One region trying to do it is a suicide mission as those Nigerians who have benefitted from this country for decades will pounce on you without looking back.

It's quite irritating that you lots didn't learn anything from the Biafran war. You have succeeded in turning some parts of Imo State into a war zone by arming large numbers of non-state actors. The outcome? They have turned the state into a war zone, compelling people and businesses to flee! Who lost in the end? The soldiers who are trained to kill people? Think again!

Admittedly, Nigeria is a failed state, but some regions understand how to play the Nigerian politics and how to get whatever they want from the country. Yes, that region is the South West and it remains the most prosperous part of the country.

In your own case, you put emotions first before reasoning, thus making Fulani people look like your enemy. Fulani people aren't your enemy; they are just getting the most from a failed country - something you lots have refused to do too.

For reasons that I will like to keep to myself so I don't wash our dirty linens in public, I will unequivocally maintain my position - a restructured Nigeria is better than a balkanized Nigeria.

Re: Simon Ekpa Hires A US Lobby Firm At ₦205 Million A Year by RuggedBiafran:
You have always spoken well and I appreciate your intuitive analysis.

You really sucked your Mother's Breast Milk. cheesy

The pertinent issue is this..

We are not fighting for BIAFRA against rational beings. BIAFRA to them primarily is 'Opposition' to their expansionist agenda. The region that DREADs the attainment of BIAFRA the most is the North and their subgroups.

Already conquered tribes believe that sponsoring hate against IGBOs will actually put them in good stead with their Northern Masters. Typical example is the Middle belt. How can a region that was easily manipulated into killing IGBOs during the war, now be a hotbed of daily massacres of their own people by their Own Masters? Is that not a typical show of babaric foolishness?

How can a BENUE, PLATEAU , etc etc, be shouting 1 NIGERIA, when burying their LOVED ones every week? Those that are killing them are also 1 NIGERIA people backed by the security agencies to wreck havoc on harmless civilians?.

Do you know the reason why the angst against BIAFRA is loud all of a sudden..? This is because those that killed with reckless abandonment without repercussions NO LONGER have it easy.

Deployment to the SE region is now met with FEAR and uncertainty. That is the language they understand as useless Animals.

Recently, Fulani bandits, Boko Haram, or whatever they term them, killed 4 people in the NORTH. Where was the AUDACITY Statement from the ARMY? Where was the bombardment of the said area by the ARMY? Why didn't TINUBU say anything? Or is the SE the only region that DEATHs are amplified for a certain purpose? angry

Has the COAS ever mentioned anything about the killings in the NORTH, MIDDLE BELT or SW? Everytime it's IPOB..ESN... BIAFRA fixation and you think his statements aren't programmed and teleguided? It's an Agenda based Propaganda, to show case the region as volatile.

Thank GOD IGBOs stayed back during this futile protest that took place. Isn't obvious that the proponents have actually earmarked IGBOs for retribution? The fact IGBOs stayed back exposed the evil mechanizations of those that actually sponsored the protest


NIGERIA is a fraud and Nobody buys these double standards anymore...

The only language Barbarians understand is the language being spoken NOW..

It will be holistic...both locally and internationally.

Freedom comes at a PRICE..we rest when we attain it...

Thank you

My major concern is for all Biafra agitators to stop using violence, gunmen and guerrilla style warfare to agitate for Biafra because it's an effort in futility. Igbos have paid enough price with their blood and money, we cannot continue to waste more Igbos in the name of fighting for Biafra. No African country can ever secede from its parent nation without the help of the Western or Eastern Powers.


Biafra agitators must realize this sad truth.


Because of crude oil and other mineral resources, Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas will never want Biafra to secede because they are too scared to exist without free crude oil money. That is why I pray everyday for crude oil to lose its global market value sooner than later so that Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas can become tired of wanting Nigeria to remain as one. They erroneously think Igbos want Biafra because they want to control crude oil alone, but they are very wrong.


Most Igbos desire for Biafra is to enable us Igbos chart our own course devoid of derailment by others. We believe we can build a global power nation from scratch by exploring our people's ingenuity in craft, entrepreneurship, trade and technical knowhow. It won't be easy but it will be achieved with time. We need our own indigenous technology no matter how crude it is. We need to solely be in charge of our people's security. Just take a look at how insecure Nigeria has become out of Hausa-Fulanis and Yoruba President's wickedness and incompetency. A whole country of 200million plus p people cannot secure their own borders, cannot secure their local farmers, cannot secure their highways and forests, what then makes Nigeria a country? Sharing allocation gotten from selling crude oil? Very shameful.


Honestly God needs to help Nigeria breakup for the greater good and peace of Nigerians.


If Nigeria break up now, everybody will get sense and work harder to develop and secure their own country. As it is now, every tribe, mostly Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas are only after being in charge of crude oil and sharing it among those in power to use to intimidate the poor Nigerians who worship them as elites angry

Thank you very much my brother.

Is it after they declare Biafra that Igbo leaders will suddenly turn to saints?

They won’t chop money again?

Nonsense.

Only idiots waste their time with this secessionist nonsense.

Where are you seceding to?

Instead of you to cool down and fix your state. Encourage your small businesses to leverage the 220 million strong Nigerian market, the envy of other countries who would love to have such a huge internal consumer market.

States can now generate electricity, harness their natural resources, etc.

So where are you seceding to?

Develop your states and stop disturbing people.

Allocation to states has tripled in the last year. They have money.
So you think the current Igbos parading themselves as leaders now are the ones to lead Biafra if Biafra comes?


You ought to know that it's the corrupt and balkanized system of Nigeria that enables the worst set of Igbos to emerge as political leaders in Igbo land.


Look at how Igbos rallied against that useless Abia Governor Ikpeazu to elect a better person Alex Otti. If not for Peter Obi's influence that would not have happened, another useless person would have emerged from PDP or APC to continue the destruction of Abia state.

The thread says that Ekpa is seeking a legal support for the agitation. The thread doesn't say that Ekpa has joined the sponsors of Boko Haram and ISIS.

But some haters of Biafra will fake love here and advise Biafrans against donating money for the agitation, while some will use the thread to intensify their hate for Biafra.
No mind them, same fools that wants Igbo's to leave Lagos, will still be at the forefront of fighting against anything Biafran independence.

James Moran should do his job quickly and efficiently because overwhelming majority of Nigerians wants the people from the land of rising wailers to leave immediately. No sentiments attached, it’s just that they have done enough damage to Nigeria due to their criminal and drug activities, lies, deceit and false propaganda. You trust any of them at your own peril.

Certainly USA will not recognise biafra. Would be self delusion for anyone to believe so.Even Ekpa and the company he engaged know this in their heart.. He has claimed responsibility for killings in S.E. if anything he should be repatriated. He's just fortunate he's a Finnish citizen. Nigeria should review it's relationship with Finland for allowing the planning of terrorist acts against Nigeria in its (Finnish) territory.

I am against marginalization but certainly terrorism isn't the answer

Better than ceaseless calumny campaigns against all Nigerian institutions, the vote for violence and disorderliness and the seat at home nonsense within Biafra region and hate filled and provocative comments and actions against other tribal entities within Nigeria state.

Any Biafra connected to that fat buffoon Simon Epkerima and his host of ipob thieves, thugs,cultist,criminals, kidnappers,drug and gun runners,murderers will never be accepted in Igboland it is DOA.

No sensible Igbo man who has something meaningful doing wit his life would fancy a mad man like Epka and his scam ipob.

This is exactly what I have been talking about.

This is the only way to get Biafra. This is what Nnamdi Kanu failed to do which he is paying for today under DSS detention. Nnamdi Kanu should have followed international diplomacy and lobbying.


Lobby US, UK or Russia through their government lobbyists organizations or individuals.


Every government in the world have those that have the ears of the President and government. If Donald Trump win US Presidential election in November, Elon Musk will become US President and government's number one lobbyist.


Lobby US or Russia and get Biafra diplomatically instead of using senseless guerrilla warfare that can never work till Jesus Christ returns which only ends up killing Igbos and destabilizing Southeast region to the joy and excitement of most Yorubas.


Stop the senseless guerrilla warfare in Southeast in the name of Biafra agitation and follow international diplomacy via lobbying US or Russian government to help plead the cause of Biafrans.


This was how Israel became a State in 1948 after the end of World War II, all Biafra agitators must follow same template of lobbying US or Russian government.


Igbos have paid more than enough price trying to get Biafra, so anybody using violence or Guerrilla warfare in the name of agitating for Biafra independence from Nigeria is an enemy of Ndigbo and must be resisted by all Igbos. What Igbos need right now is peaceful, silent agitation through international diplomacy and lobbying.
Simeon Ekpa can’t get any support from USA government,the moment Ekpa claimed responsibility for several murder case in south east he already failed in gaining international recognition as that is one of the evidence FG will use against him
Secondly USA won’t partner where the can’t achieve anything
