The generality of the people clamouring for Biafra (myself included) would rather if Biafra is actualised through peaceful means. However, we also know that violence is the only language the Nigerian Government understands. Uwazulike tried the peaceful way, he has been beaten, tortured, made a mockery of,locked up and many MASSOB members killed because they chose the peaceful way. It's been 15 years and still he has not actualised Biafra. The Niger-Delta militants and Boko Haram picked up guns and Government asked for negotiation. Violence is what gets things done in Nigeria. War is bad but if that is what will get me my freedom as a Biafran then I am all for it. Referendum or war!! The day that 40 million Igbos rise up to fight the Nigerian state is the day Buhari will make Shekau his chief military adviser 4 Likes |

Pangea: transit4: you are grossly misguided brother or sister (whichever it is you are). When did it become compulsory to ask to be set free? "Biafrans" do not think that they are regarded relevant in the running of the affairs of the country and have made known their intention to break away albeit in a peaceful manner. How then do you ignorantly turn around and refer to them as war mongers? If I know of any tribe in Nigeria that loathe war more than the others, it should be undoubtedly the Igbo(Biafran) race. They have had the very bitter taste of war, moreso when they were hardly enlightened on the arts of war. The generation that witnessed the horrors of '67-'70 are still very much around and would give up whatever it takes to avert a repeat of those experiences. However, you can only stretch a string as far as its elastic limit after which it breaks. The Biafrans are no pushovers, that I can tell for sure. If the North demands for war by oppressing the Biafrans, then they shall have war. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Why are you all ranting about war, who wants war ? What Nnamdi Kanu is doing on radio biafra isn't different from what we see here on Nairaland and every other cyber forums where people of this said failed nation hide under the canopy of anonymity and bash each other on differentials in ethnicity, yet we pretend we are one. Nnamdi hasn't killed anyone, the northerners have, Igbos haven't killed anyone, their enemies in the north have, striving on calculated attempt of mass killings,bomb blast to reduce them(igbos) numerically so they won't be among the major ethnic group huh ? Or you think the undocumented series of Genocides the Igbos suffered before the Civil war wasn't a planned attempt on numerically reducing them ? Stop preaching the wrong message trying to deceive gullible Nigerians who aren't informed enough to read between the lines of their history hence hating igbos saying we are advocates to blood shedding and war-mongers, it is not true. We have tried one Nigeria, it has woefully failed, and failing is still on replay. Get a brain and support a successful secession without war or blood shed,it'll do us all good being apart and still happy with our respective economy balanced ,after all we aren't one,left to me. Even if Biafra doesn't come today,rest assured it'll still come to pass whether any body likes it or not. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: WAR Is HELL - A Message For All Those Calling For War! by henryskywalker2003(m): 3:45pm On Jul 07, 2015 |
For my fellow Igbo brothers deceiving themselves saying that they are simply calling for referendum and not war. Let me remind you of the current state of Crimea today came about because of the same so called referendum of wanting to secede. No country will ever allow a part of it to secede, at least, not peacefully anyway. Knowing that fully well, how on earth do you hope to achieve your peaceful secession? I am from Anambra and I spent 23 years of my life in Enugu. Growing up, I read books and saw many documentaries of the Nigerian/Biafra Civil War. My dad always buys any cassette tape he could find that documented wars in Africa. And apart from that, I also got to watch the Liberian Civil War too. I read and saw documentaries of the civil war in Sudan that lasted 22 years. Imagine having to be born and spend your childhood, teenage and young adult ages dodging bullets and bombs, seeing people die around you daily and not knowing when your turn will come. I think the problem is that we have seen too many war movies and think war is as celebrated as it is being shown in those movies. A civil war will set both the victor and vanquished back for at least 20 years. Knowing how backward we are today sef, it could even set us back for a 100. I suggest to my fellow Igbos, nay... I ask, plead and beg you to shelve this idea of secession once and for all. Let us not make the same mistake our fathers did and paid for in blood. We should learn from our mistakes and move forward and not backward. Instead of calling for a referendum to discuss secession terms and such, lets call for a referendum where every tribe can state their grievances and we'll find a way to settle old scores and heal old wounds once and for all. Let us use that referendum to put away the 1914 amalgamation that brought us together and instead forge a unity that will bind us together. I believe we all have our individual grievances against each other, but I also believe that we aren't blind to the benefits we have been reaping all these years we have been together and lived as one. If we can encourage that mutual benefits and sort out the grievances that we have, believe you me, no one will entertain the notion of breaking apart. Other multi-tribal countries did it before us, others are trying to achieve same, while some are currently fighting amongst themselves. Let us choose to be among the ones that other nations look up to in a positive light. To my Igbo brothers, again let me remind you that our problems isn't caused nor compounded by either the Yorubas nor Hausas. Rather, we are the source of our problems and hence also the solutions. We are a great people. One of the few in the world today that could recover so fast from the scars of civil war on a vanquished nation. Ask anyone back then the state of the East after the war. It was terrible. And yet, despite the devaluation of the Biafran Pound and impoverishment the war brought us, we rose above it and in less than 10 years, we have rebuilt all that we lost and we did it single-handedly. Why am I saying this? I'm saying this because, this generation have forgotten the stuff that we are made of. We are a proud race true, but we are not proud in vain. We rebuilt our lands without having as much funds as we are having today through the oil wealth. This is because, we still clung to our roots. And any Igbo that knows his/her roots will tell you that Igbos do not believe leaders are born, rather they are made by the works of their hands. That's why no matter the authority an Igwe wields, he is still subject to the Kingmakers (Ndi ichie) because they have the power to unseat him. To be made a leader, many will have first recognized the potential to be one in you, tested and tried and found it to be true, before you can ever be given a leadership role back in the days. Today, we no longer have that but rather operate on a Democracy as a nation. But who said we can't go back to our roots as Igbos and do things the way we have done it in the past that worked for us? What stops us from electing and appointing the right people to lead us as Governors, Senators and Reps? I believe if we had looked past the stomach infrastructure being offered us, and backed the right people at the polls, a lot of problems faced today will not be heard of in the East. Let me remind us of how much we have failed ourselves first before we look to the West and North to blame. The last Presidential Election, Dr. Chekwas Okorie of UPP didn't even get the backing of his own state during the elections and lost massively in Abia State. Ok, lets go back a bit in history. Despite all the sacrifice Ojukwu made, many of the Igbos abandoned him during the presidential elections that he contested since 1999. The most recent is when Peter Obi broke a promise by decamping from APGA did that as soon as Dim died. I'm not trying to say let us all vote for our individual tribes here or our own people, rather I'm just trying to show you that we haven't even made an effort to put one of our own in a place where he/she can the speak for us and voice our grievances. So, before we can start blaming the Hausas and Yorubas, let us all cleanse our own house first. I tell you the truth my brothers, if we should have Biafra tomorrow, a new problem that seems minor today will erupt. And that problem will still be as bad as what we are complaining today. The problem will see Anambra trying to show Enugu that they are superior, Ebonyi will be trying to climb out of the 3rd class citizen that has been apportioned to it in the east, Imo and Abia will have their own fracas, Anambra and Imo will continue their old rivalries. And to what end? I will suggest again, that we look inwards first and foremost and try and fix ourselves before we even have any referendum of any sorts. Otherwise, we will be doomed to failure even before we start. Let us rise up and get back to our former glory. A glory that was given to us by God when we were created and sustained by our hands. We never had to depend on oil for wealth before, and we shouldn't now. We can be all that we want to be as a people. The whole world knows how industrious we are and we can be the force that drives this nation from being a 3rd world to a world power. But God didn't create us alone in this planet and so, we need to learn to live with and accommodate our brethren from the North and West. We need them as much as they need us. As much as we think the North of being parasitic, think of what will happen if they cease their food exports to the East? No matter how much value we place on our oil we cannot eat nor drink it. We can't sell if no country wants to buy it. So, let us learn to love one another and live together as one. God bless Nigeria God bless Igbos God bless Yorubas God bless Hausas God bless all the tribes in Nigeria. Long Live Nigeria 6 Likes |

The op is biased if not he would have considered the plight of the people who even after witnessing the gory scenes of war still clamour for referendum. I 4 one do not support war but it is only worrisome that the people who are meant to settle this in a peaceful manner choose to rather have negotiations with Bokoharam n turn to threaten the ones with justifiable course with gory pictures thinking it will deter them but not knowing that it will only remind them of more reasons why they need to go their separate ways. It would be really nice to maintain a one Nigeria which I had always prayed 4 but when that is far fetched let everyone go their separate ways. 1 Like |
