This Should Get 1000 Shares... war have never been the answer. by iPopAlomo(op): 8:44pm On Jun 25, 2015

Lol..

You are running after rats inside a Burning building.

So you think that when these Vagabonds go ahead with their plans, all of a sudden all South Easterners would become super wealthy and live in a utopia filled with 24hrs Electricity, pipe borne water, e.t.c and that nobody in the new Biafra would own private jets or everybody would own one or what? What has private jet got to do with anything? Do you know the number of Nigerians the legitimately own Private jets? Or do you think every individual who owns one is corrupt? Please rid yourself of those mentality of poverty. Because the neck thing would be that those who are driving SUVs would be the new target, then those wear gold necklaces, or those wearing designer outfit.. Success and Wealth is not a taboo.

Come to Awka next weekend and I would be burying my Grandfather, the last victim of the Biafran War from my family. My Grandfather would be going into the ground with a Bullet still lodged inside him. He was a Biafran Soldier and Ojukwus ADC. My Parternal Grandmother died two years ago.. She was a victim of the Biafran War as well, she had to bury 4 of her sons in one day after a Nigerian Airforce bombing raid of Aba.

I was not born during the Biafran war, but hearing my Grandparents talk about war coupled with what I have seen with my eyes has made me realize that War is never the answer. I am from the South East of Nigeria, married from the South East of Nigeria, Own Properties worth hundreds of millions in the South East of Nigeria and I know that should War happen, my family and I and many others like us would definitely lose it all (FOR THE SECOND TIME IN UNDER 60 years) and should have to start all over again from scratch. Call me selfish but this is the sad truth.

The Igbos calling for war and supporting this Lunatic called Nnamdi Kanu have not fully appreciated the implications of War. In War, Women which includes mothers, Wives, Daughters and babies get rap-ed freely. Those who would be raped are our own daughters not those of the Yorubas nor Hausas that the war was meant to destroy. The Houses, farmlands, vehicles, properties, infrastructure and more that would be destroyed would be ours, not those of the enemies we want to fight. The future that would be wrecked would be ours because our Men who wouldn't be dead would be Injured, handicapped, in Prisons-of-War or just plain destitute. Our Sons from age 6 and above would become Child Soldiers, exposed to bloodshed at an early age and would lose their innocence and childhood whilst they are children, assuming they survive the war. In wartime, the Man with the Gun is President, Governor and everything. Crime and Criminals become the order of the day. Life as we know it flies out the window. All these to help another group of people attain power to control us.

The aftermath of a war does not even clear up immediately combat ceases. The South East is still not fully healed up from the last war in 1967. All over Rivers State, properties belonging to South Easterners are still there under the name "Abandoned Properties". Politically speaking, the relevance of the south East post-1967 has still not fully recovered. In fact, the South-South has even advanced further politically than the South East since after that war.

Things to note; The issues that plagued Ojukwus in 1967 are child's play compared to what any uprising in the South-East would face today.. now the Nigerian Army is better equipped than they were in 1967, better trained than they were in 1967. The Ogbunigwe cannot win you a war in 2015.. This time around, the Airforce has acquired Drones, Better jets, etc. The Nigerian Navy would block off the water ways in a matter of 1 week if the call comes through and once more the same shiit of 1967 is on again.


To those saying its can insult to call Nnamdi Kanu a Terrorist, maybe you would do well to grab a copy of the Nigerian Constitution and a Dictionary and find out the meaning of sedition and the penalty for treason.


Should a war breakout in the South East, the biggest losers would be us, the South Easterners.

This foolishness must be arrested before is spirals fully out of control..



Finally, I will leave you with a food for thought: When you become a parent, if your response to an issue or dispute between your Children and family members is not for one child to go fight and kill another child, then Violence and war should never be a choice in conflict resolution. Find other means that are not as lazy and unproductive as war.. Also check history:: Less than 3 Nations the world over has ever gotten independence nor cessation from war.
This might do alot to re-orientate some people... just share...

I love Biafra but am a realist, what Kalu want us to do is another sucide mission,another relegation of we Igbo to the background. Igbo pls check it up how many countries have been able to pick guns against its nation and succeed, Igbos are we blind to the kind of ammunition and jet at the govt disposal. Do you think it's about Ak 47. Most of you haven't seen riot talk more of war. In plain term if we go to war with Nigeria we would loose, what determine the outcome of most war, money, allies,strategist,equipment in this aspect Nigeria best us all in all, so I ask how are we going to win,what to we have to bargain on I once said it we Igbos are emotional being and we expect like the SS and MB to join us in the slaughter house when the war begins on promise that it would be better where Nigeria govt can instantly bargain higher revenue to their state more federal presence, who in his rightful sense would join the Biafra army that has nothing to offer but promise or a Nigeria govt that has chips on the table to bargain with. Kalu just want us to go and die for a cause that even OJUKWU himself abandoned and accepted Nigeria when he contested for the seat of the presidency under APGA,so who is Kalu, pls don't get me wrong I like what he is doing by letting the world know the Igbo plight anything other than that I don't support how would you tell hard working people to live there means of lively hood to follow you on a doom campaign while you and your wife is in the UK where there is total security. Biafra pls do your thinking this time rather than Kalu do it for you and pull down all our present achievement. We might be oppressed but we are better off compared to many that depend on govt handout, let keep on negotiating with Nigeria govt we would get there trust me Nigeria is already running out of excuse not to elect an Igbo man as the ran out of excuse not to elect buhari, so why bring all this effort down with one disastrous move. Thrust me I have experienced serious riot and it's not a good thing at all not to talk of war.

The Igbos screaming for secession with war war and war are definitely the never-do-wells and younger students who still swim in the delusion of their exuberance. I am still yet to understand how the tens of millions of smart, hard-working, financially balanced and comfortable Igbos owning several viable investments and the largest chunk of properties in cities like Abuja, Lagos Port-Harcourt etc would be convinced to suddenly close shops in a time of peace, run back home, pick up arms and start fighting constituted authority.

We have a lot of internal problems which we need to tackle first (such as leadership in the south-east) and these problems are far bigger than whatever issues we have with outsiders. If we have not solved the issue of leadership in the south-east where we still have people like TA Orji ruling and representing us, then I do not see how breaking away from Nigeria now is our biggest priority that would solve any of our problems.
