Why Do Igbo People Lay Claims To Biafra by Ballmer: 10:23pm On Oct 30, 2015
I have read lots of comments, interviews, and opinions about this so-called Biafra stuff from the sublime to the most absurd. Yet none has been able to define or identify the territory called Biafra.

Some have made allusion to the Bight of Biafra now Bonny as the state of Biafra.
To clarify on the geographical location of Bight of Biafra, also called Bight of Bonny, it is a bay of the Atlantic Ocean on the western coast of Africa, extending east, then south, 370 miles (600 km) from the Nun outlet of the Niger River (Nigeria) to Cape Lopez (Gabon). Within the Bight of Biafra
are several islands, the largest of which is Bioko, belonging to Equatorial Guinea. Major ports on the bay are Malabo (on Bioko), Port Harcourt and Calabar (Nigeria), Douala (Cameroon), Bata (Equatorial Guinea), Libreville and Port-Gentil (Gabon). Is there any Igbo tribes or natives indigenous to this bay?

Secondly. what are actually the grievances of the this haughty, permanently ignorant and deluded sterile Biafra agitators? There are so many discordant and confusing tunes; from President Buhari`s appointments, lack of infrastructural and physical development in the Southeast , freedom and citizenship. The Southeast has been 90% PDP since 1999 with over 50% of senior political appointments zoned to this region. Never in our history has any region, produced the SGF, Minister of Finances, CBN Governor, Head of the Army, Head of the Police council, Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker etc. Why have the Southeast PDP Governors not been able to develop Igbo states since 1999?

Since 1999 most states in Nigeria have embarked on several projects including construction of federal roads, state airports and deep sea ports. What prevented Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi from doing what Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo,Jigawa , Osun , Lagos, Oyo are doing? The bottom line is that, these agitations are sponsored because a few misguided Igbo politicians feel they have lost power, political relevance and they simply lack the ingenuity, discipline and capacity to organise any political comeback in the next decades but for APC.

The long and short of the British fraud is that blacks are still slaves and they divided us into two-the house slaves and field slaves. The 1967 Biafra restoration was like a recaptured slave and how can a black monkey undo what the British did? They could not believe it. YOU PROBABLY HEAR GOWON AND OTHERS SAYING OJUKWU SHOULD HAVE SURRENDERED EARLY, IF BUHARI IS DOING WHAT HE IS DOING TODAY BECAUSE HE WAS DECLARED WINNER IN AN ELECTION, DO YOU NOW SEE WHY THEY STOLE PEOPLES HOUSES AND MONEY? The land Buhari owns in Port Harcourt that he said he does not know where it is, is probably one of the houses they stole but they will blame it on Ijaws or Ikwerres.

Before you criticise Biafra please take time and ask "Is Biafra different from Scotland and the UK? When they say loss of property and so on remind them there are Igbos in Ghana and Cameroon and in London and New York - they have not lost their property and we are not one country with them. The House slaves normally sabotage every effort of the field slaves to be free - you have to choose which one you are but don’t think we are free -the British uses the Hausa/Fulani to enslave everyone. - http://combatgeno

So you want to keep properties among Baboons n monkeys after having your paradise ? That I believe is the act of a true dead brain you represent. How you go about actualising Biafra determine a whole lot. Read on the Rwanda genocide n compare the cause to what Kanu is doing with RadioBiafra.

You're deranged and that is a big problem to you. Why won't the Biafrans keep properties among baboons and monkeys? The Biafrans has properties in every corner of this earth without any problems so, stop showcasing your dead brain anyhow and help your miserable self with something meaningful.
Coming to what you said about Rwandan genocide, what has that got to do with the freedom the biafrans are agitating for? So in your little mind, freedom is a taboo is that?

It is obviously going to be an herculean task enlightening your feeble mind. How receptive do you think people you denigrate as baboon n money would be to you owning an operating successive business among them ?

Is that how other nationals go about owning biz in foreign countries. You need not respond I can understand you believe Biafrans are African Jews and should be allowed to have their ways any how they want to the detriment of whoever they are dealing with.

Listen oaf Biafrans have the right to secede as Nigeria as the right to determine if it want Biafrans to own businesses in his Nigeria. You can quit dripping hokum on this thread if your brain can not comprehend Nigeria deserves as much right to dictate who it want to own biz in its enclave as Biafra as to secede.

And it is going to be a herculean task enlightening m0rons like you that liegeria will not last for ever even your creators (the british) knows this. And that is one of the reasons why we (Biafrans) see anybody that is a proud liegerian as a monkey or a baboon because, they fail to see beyond their noses that liegeria is actually a british amusement park and that this unity will never work. We see them as monkeys and baboons for holding so dear the junk the british gave to them as a country, does that mean they don't have a history before the coming of the white men? Does that mean their fore fathers weren't doing pretty well before the emergence of the white men? We see them as monkeys and baboons because they see secession as a crime whilst it is not a crime.
That biafrans wants to secede from fedrick lugard's cage is a good thing so, stop reasoning with your anus and start using your brain.

Your case is more critical than you think. You first need to know who is stopping you from seceding before dishing out lunatic rants in the name of succession. I leave you to wallow in the delusion of your fantasy for now.

This country is not working.

Obasanjo has killed all Ibo owned busineses, this is why most Ibo owned businesses are not structured.

Ibos hide the brand names of their busineses. I know several Igbo billionaires, who own hundreds of trailers but they will never brand their vehicles. So they keep being taxed by every police, army and Ndi Ntu checkpoint running from East To West To North.

But Dangote is freely running his business while Ibeto till today has not found his feet. NOT VALID for Forex has once again put Ibeto out of business.

Let Igbos go..

Most Nigerians should not regard themselves as educated. What is known as Republic of Biafra was the defunct eastern region of Nigeria. What is so hard to understand about the Republic of Biafra? Ndiigbo had never monopolistically laid claim on Biafra however moronic detractors have been busy making Biafra an Igbo machination.

Biafra was a Portuguese colony that never lasted . It was actually in present day South West Cameroon. It has nothing to do with Igbo.
