After reading your post, I think black Africans might still have hope if people like you abound.

Enahi:
I understood all you wrote perfectly, still the same ol' shit you Biafrans write everywhere.


FYI I am not ignorant at all, i know what i am doing .

Besides answer these questions for me'

Who created the old Eastern region?

Did Ojukwu and Effiong surrender or not?

Did Ojukwu before his death ever wished to become Nigerian President?

Who are the prominent Igbo leaders supporting Biafra?

The Nigerian State was created by the Brithish and i didn't see or ever heard about any part of Nigeria been called Country of Biafra.

Someone asked an important question yet to be answered. How Many countries has broken away And is succeeding today? Is it south sudan? Is it Eritrea? Is this all those small impoverished nations that broke from USSR but are today getting aid from Russia. Is it Bosnia? IS it North Korea?

What a hypocrite u are..
The worlds biggest oppressors are muslims...go to iran, ssaudi, Pakistan, egypt, qatar, sudan etc they oppress "people of the book" and kill pagans.. see what ur muslim brothers are doin in Iraq and syria.. committing genocide on the christians, kurds and yadizi. ..

may israel rule over the terrorists called the Palestinian muslims ..


The world doesn't need another bigot intolerant islamic state

crusadistic:
sharrap whorè most of the people suffering are Muslims by both so-called terrorists and even far more by the xtian west.we are talking of constitutionally enshrined oppression by some idjiots who somewhat think they are chosen and have the right to subjugate other people.

Not saying it is impossible for Biafra to be a success l, but we should always look at precedence. igbos have businesses all over Nigeria and are doing well. There is no genocide against them as there was in South sudan or Bangladesh (broke from Pakistan and is one of the poorest country in the world). We need to put aside all these nonsense ethnic and religious divide that is holding a lot of African countries down and work together to become the BOSS nation we are meant to be. #ONELOVE #Wazobia

South Sudan fought for independence thinking the North was their problem. Just look at them now and you will wonder if they really deserve independence.

I support unity and one nigeria but dont think for a moment that southern nigerian wont prosper..biafra can prosper exceedingly but one one condition

Igbos (and the SS) need the yorubas and the yorubas need the igbos. .
Yorubas have the professionals, technocrats, port/lagos, educators , wealth and are also a tolerant peaceful people while igbos have business acumen, international network, capitalists , audacity and courage to create a viable sustainable country.

Its a shame the igbos and yorubas dont trust each other.. they would make a great country..

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
Shame, we don't need each other.
I don't want to go into who started it, but I know we cannot coexist any longer.
The leaders have taken away common sense, people no longer follow what is right, they follow what the leaders day.

parisbookaddict:
I know a lot of people will disagree but the truth is that igbos and yorubas will make a great team...how do i know..look at this country nigeria .. it was practically built by the igbos and yorubas... lagos is the richest commercial capital in africa and it was built by the yorubas and igbos...look at the new generation banks ..95 percent founded by southerners.. unity bank is northern owned and is allegedly at the bottom of the table...look at all merit based positions in this country its southerners... the distraction always comes from the north..

Igbos can not establish a country without help...it was tired once and it failed...unity is best tho..one nigeria..

I'll mention two countries. Finland and Estonia.

Both countries were at one point in history part of the Russian empire - Finland (Tsarist Russia) and Estonia (Soviet Union). Both countries have since prospered more than what is left of Russia.

It's interesting that you mention Bosnia. The Bosnians are part of the over 10 incompatible nationalities that make up the southern European region known as the Balkans and from which the word 'balkanisation' is derived. I'm sure you're familiar with that word. It loosely means fragmentation or dismembering of a region. This region has a population of less than 60 million people, one third the population of 'one Naijeriya'. Think about it.

The interesting thing about the Balkans is that this region is much more identical to the current grouping of incompatible ethnic nationalities within the Niger area and they have the common sense to break up into smaller viable nations, after having gone through a lot of wars and blood shed.

The question you should be asking is not how many countries have broken away and is succeeding, but how many countries populatesld by numerous incompatible large nations within them have survived? Many of the nations within Nigeria are larger than many countries that stand alone.

The Igbo nation is arguably larger than the whole of the Balkan region and will prefer to look to the successes of Finland and Estonia as examples than the failures of South Sudan . . .

Bros you make me do research this night o. Fine. Finland and Estonia are doing splendid. But things to note. They got their freedom in 1917 and 1920. Finland had a civil war immediately after. And Estonia (long and splendid history) had a 14 month war with Russia before they got their freedom. It took years to rebuild and this was not an era of modern warfare. It was the good old days, where men went to fields and killed themselves. Now wars are.fought guerrilla style and in civilian population, making it difficult to end. War of any kind, must be avoided.

I was speaking of the war fought in.Bosnia in the.90s that saw even further divisions. I have to disagree partly with ethnic compatability forming a unified nation. The truth is there is no unity among Nigerians. The way some Yoruba look at ijebu, there exist internal beef amongst the igbos. I had an Anambran friend who swore off marrying from Imo. Supposing Biafra Is formed tomorrow and communal clashes begin amongst tribes. I am not saying it will but it seems a serious African problem now.

Honestly, as to your question about large nations. Does the UK or China count? Even though several counties/countries under them have sort independence.... These countries are still Flourishing.... #Wazobia all the way

coolzeal:
It is not in your best interest to preach to us about surviving or living together peacefully as Biafrans. We have had enough and we want out.... Abeg make e no come be by force. Really, it's becoming embarrassing.

kingzizzy:
It not possible that they can trust each other. Igbos and Yorubas are as different as day and night. Another thing about these two tribes is that while most African countries are no more than 15 million people, each of these two tribes are more than twice that number. They are just two big to be sharing one country

CSTR2:
You dey craze.
If you want Palestinian independence, go and ask isreal and leave biafrans alone.
Your senile president voted for a free Palestine when he has separatists groups at home. And to make it worse, sent delegates to the Israel parliament for national support like a dimwit.

Rayhut:
Most SS people is supporting Biafra, is Yoruba people that is posing as SS. When ships are down, Yorubas will understand that this is 2015 not 1967. Digging out old event won't solve Nigeria problems. One Nigeria can't work in this jet age. Wonder why Biafra is always giving Yorubas high blood pressure. Did Scotland fight a war with UK to vote in referendum to seek for self determination. Few SS people is against Biafra because they don't want another war, but when UN allow referendum in former old eastern Nigeria that is when Yoruba eyes go clear, because no sane akwa ibom person will like to remain in Nigeria, the oil they have none of them own an oil well, northerners own all the oil well in akwa ibom. In Biafra every state own it own oil or resources, manage it and pay tax to central government just like US, UK, Germany etc No state in Biafra will depend on another state resources

jpphilips:
Naa that was a strategic plan, Buhari believes that the IPOB urchins may be getting the backing of Israel, he just got to them first.

CSTR2:
If your senile president wanted isreali support against IPOB, then voting for Palestine is a funny way of showing it.
The Israelis would even be more compelled to support IPOB now than under GEJ that was very close with Israel.

misspresident:
i don't want nigeria to divide untill i become the first female president of nigeria. if you are in support of me say YES! if you are not in support of me say NAY!
