Kestolovee95:
Even Buhari's 95%- 5% comment is a good ammunition for Biafrans. Buhari is the last president of nigeria. I'm he knows this, that's he used the phrase 'If we survive', when he was interviewed in India.
In their psyche everything is 1967, without realizing how far and fast the world order has evolved. One day and very soon Buhari or another feudal successor would wake up to hear the global community order him to consider asking the majority of this agitators on which side they really want to be. In other words REFERENDUM. Just very soon.

Catalonia will likely fail since they share the same language and culture with their parent country; this is not the same situation with Biafra.

What's there to learn? You were in a hurry to make jest of Biafrans you didn't bother to read what you posted, you didn't bother to read why Catalonia succession was turned down and then relate it to the case of Biafra. Now that I've called your attention to you, I think you should go back to your post and read it.

realnews:
Biafra agitators should learn from this

Catalonia have their own language which is indigenous to them but Spanish is the lingual franca in Spain and as such they learn Spanish and use it to communicate just as how English is the lingual franca in Nigeria.

The Spanish language is an agglomeration of the dialects spoken in Spain.Leon has their own dialect,as do Castile,Basque,Catalonia,Andalusia n co.They're all mutually intelligible with regional variations.

Re: UN Reject Catalonia Call For Independence From Spain. UN Says It's Illegitimate by Obiagu1(m):
Interesting.
What this means is that in every respect, Biafra is qualified to be a country!

The problem now is boundary. (Non-autonomous territory).
From Mr. Moon's statement, the implementation is that there should be a recognised fault line.

Now historically, Biafra region has two known fault lines:
The pre-1906 amalgamation fault line and the Eastern region fault line. These two fault lines were administered as a unit at different times.

What this means is that if Biafra becomes a country, it will at least comprise the Eastern region entirely or SS/SE that make up the pre-1906 amalgamation colony.

SS have different language and culture from Igbo Biafra. Biafra form ur country and also allow south south form thiers.

U dont even have ur Biafra yet, you are already dictating to south south people who they are and what they can ask for.

U igbos are pathetic in ur reasoning.

One can imagine what u guys can do to minorities if that ur fantansy Biafra come to pass!!!
the same way edo language is different from ijaws, urhobo,isoko,ishekiri,ikwerre,asaba,ika,efik,ibibio,oron, etc. bunch of different languages. That s where the tower of babel started from. grin

I will prefare ikwerre tribe to be with/among the southsouth republic so that when an igbo man is ruling biafra republic, an igbo man is also ruling ss republic or niger delta rep.

Hopeathand how you see my idea na? cheesy

NOBLEDANDY:
If you have said... "SS have different languages " I would have been happy.
But being an hypocrite you decided to twist facts to suit your gullible argument... By saying SS have different language. Which language be that?

And I challenge you to put up here answers to this question.
1) tell us the ethnicity of SS in africa.
2) what language did your number one answer generally speaks as an identified ethnic group in africa.

If you couldn't answer these, just bear in mind you just fooling yourself full time.
don't mind the anuofia. He s just obsessed with ndiigbos. wink

I've always made the point that those asking for "republic of Igboland" instead of Biafra are making a big mistake because it will never happen. Reason? There was NEVER in the history of Africa a region politically organized as Igbo territory alone.
This is also why those thinking that Nigeria can divide into more than 3 countries are greatly mistaken!
If Nigeria is to ever divide, it can only do so into the North, West, and East countries, maybe with minor boundary adjustments here and there.
Enough words for the wise!

You are a disgrace! Even small Ogoni knows that Niger delta is an Ijaw republic:http://saharareporters.com/2012/08/02/ogoni-declares-self-government

You don't see them shouting Niger delta up and down. Only parasitic Edoids are shouting Niger delta everywhere. Shameless people.

hehe! Never gonna happen. cheesy

Kanu knows what he is doing when he defined his Biafran territory. He is using the pre 1906 map.
The least that he can get is the pre 1966 map.
But not less, because anything less never existed politically and internationally recognized. Ever.

of course. Biafran was a colonised seperately till 1914. it remained a admistrative entity of its own until Gowon put some useless artificial boundaries in 1967
Correction: ...separately till 1906.

This should put paid to those ill-informed noise-makers from SE of Nigeria about biafran nonsense!

Nigeria is an independent and sovereign country that includes the South East zone. It is in this way that it was admitted to the UN and acts within the international community
