I am not against Biafra o,but I am curious how do you think it will go if it is actualized with so many wicked Igbos already kidnapping and killing their fellow Igbos in the east and cooking and eating their flesh in soups and taking over their properties?is that how they will turn the Biafra into Haiti worst than Afghanistan or Iran or Pakistan?are you saying you have not seen the atrocious acts of people like gentle etc or other men like that in the east slaughtering their fellow Igbos brothers and sisters and mutilating them for no genuine reason?

Someone said his brother was killed just because the so called libration army raided their home and found old government affiliated id card of many years ago and tagged him a betrayer and killed him..the stories are endless..na so una wan run am?seat at home that is more damaging to the igbos than to government?

For now I am not sure you people can sail or fly a Biafra nation because it would become a free for all chaos and survival of the fittest,just like what Haiti has unfortunately become without a strong government,he who has the bigger gun dictate the affairs of all..

Maybe our grandkids will cleanup the system and by then they will be smart and educated enough to run it and get the Biafra that is good because our own generation has failed just like our fathers generation,only our generation illiterates and criminals are taking over.
You think in Biafra or igbo nation we get a president like tinubu we won't boot him out?

Very funny!!! How do they get that weapon?. And confidently displaying it. I’m sure no part of Nigeria can do same without being clamp down. What a country I find myself.

Difrent:
USA
CANADA
AUSTRALIA
BRAZIL
INDIA
CHINA

Guess what else? They are all Developed countries
All this countries don't even have up to 12 different ethnic groups within them.
USA and Canada are predominantly Western European White with native aborigines..
Australia.. descendants of English and Scottish rejects from the 18th century plus South Pacific aborigines..how many diverse tribes are there?
Brazil.. Portuguese and Spanish descendants plus native south America tribes.. rainforest Indian tribes deep in the Amazon with no direct link to govt ..how many diverse tribes. Probably hundreds but most live within the Pantanal or the Amazon rainforest.
India has about 8 different tribes living within it's borders..
China has about a dozen or so ..
These countries have long since leveraged on their diversity to foster nationhood and patriotism.

Nigeria with over 350 tribes and as many languages..can she boast of the same?
The main reason why we haven't yet disintegrated and balkanized is due to free oil money at the centre..once that dries up.. nothing will hold this country together.

India has just 8 tribes? Lmao.

The Scheduled Tribes listed by the government of India alone amount to over 700+ different tribes, even though together, these tribes are just 8.6% of the Indian population.

And "tribes" are the smallest ethic group category in India. Most ethnic groups are far larger than a mere tribe. Remember, India is the world's oldest civilization. Many of us stopped being tribal between 5000 and 12000 years ago.

India has over 2000 ethnic groups.

Look, Nigeria is very different from India. What actually keeps India united will never work in Nigeria. So I do agree with your larger point that India is not a good example for you to try to replicate for national unity. But that doesn't mean that you severely underestimate India's diversity and fundamentally pluralistic character.

The weapon shown in the image is a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, more specifically, it appears to be a RPG-7 or a close variant. The RPG-7 is a shoulder-fired, anti-tank weapon originally developed by the Soviet Union. It's widely recognizable by its long tube, flared muzzle, and the sights mounted on top.

Key features that identify it include:

The long, cylindrical launch tube.

The distinctive front and rear grips.

The lack of a trigger in the traditional firearm sense (it uses a firing pin mechanism).

It's typically used with shaped-charge grenades to penetrate armor.

These launchers are used worldwide, often in both military and paramilitary contexts, and are known for their simplicity and effectiveness.
I was going to say that this looks like some sort of recoiless rife type weapon similar to the Carl Gustav family of weapons. But I think your analysis is more accurate.

However, the NAF needs to assume that the militants are frantically trying to get MANPADS as we speak, and given the spread of islamic militancy across the globe, i think we should assume that it is only a matter of time before they get some.
Let us be better safe than sorry.

BreconHills:
You do know that all NAF planes have stand off fire power that places them well outside the range of visual AA rockets like this one?

It may also interest you to know that the only reason people even see the NAF jets is that they are trying to limit civilian casualties through visual confirmations. Should they decide not to use visual confirmation this man holding the manpad will hear the sound of the NAF jet from the great beyond.
Lame defense
NAF air force jets flies low because the jets lack the sophistication to launch standoff missiles from greater ranges with accuracy or someone had loote the money meant for their missiles.

It's just a matter of time before Nigeria disintegrate, whether it takes 10, 20 or 50 years , it will disintegrate..

Southern tribes should be proactive in defending theirs interest when eventually the time comes

..only hunger, deaths, increase in terrorism, , stooges, puppets, debts has been what the West & his allies have to show for the years iof "working together" with corrupt African leaders.. grin grin

..now is to demonize Russia as the supporters of terrorism in Africa..the West can lay their hands on any Ammunitions they want to use for propaganda..give terrorists who they have been groöming through thheir AFRICOM military bases scattered all over Africa & blame those like Russia whom many Africans are slowly turning to.. grin grin

..fear lucifers..their propaganda is second to none...

..they even have the colonial AFRICOM military bases all over the continent..but the terrorism is increasing like fire..with the terrorists having in their possession sophisticated weapons.. grin grin

..America & the West are spreading terrorism using their stooges with fake nepa certificate or those known to be drug lords as bases for the quick spread of terrorism in Africa.. grin grin
