I will be glad if we keep this discussion civil, because I can actually play in the mud, if you want, so I would advise you stop using words like " Childish".


Radio Biafra was not any soothing relief. That Biafrans have no interest in being part of Nigeria is nolonger news as we have a 3year civil war to prove that.

Radio Biafra only reminded Ndiigbo why we fought to leave Nigeria, they gave facts and predictions, predictions which played out exactly the way they made it.
When it was dawning on most of us that MASSOB had been compromised and lost their purpose, IPOB arose and provided an alternative route, that is proving more effective, and the result is that they are today enjoying the same exact popularity amongst Biafrans that Uwazuruike and MASSOB enjoyed when he( Uwazuruike) came out New with his new methods for Biafran actualization.

And if I remember well, Uwazuruike Enjoyed so much popularity from Ndiigbo that he was able to close down Igbo shops all over the country and OBJ saw him as a national threat and jailed him. He came out of that jail a compromised man, and Biafrans sensed his methods were no longer working, so his popularity died a natural death.


Nnamdi Kanu is new, and has come with New message for Biafra actualization, so like Uwazuruike, he has attracted popularity amongst Biafrans and followership too, and like Uwazuruike before him, he has attracted the attention of the Nigerian leaders and is now in jail.

If he comes out of this jail a compromised man, and Ndiigbo sense his methods are no longer working, he too will lose his popularity and like Uwazuruike before him slip into mediocrity.

The Biafran Dream proved bigger than Ojukwu, for it lives even after he had died. It will outlive Uwazuruike, Kanu Nnamdi or any other mortal being.

Its an insult to Biafrans to tie our Biafran struggle to the happenings in Nigeria.

CORRECTMAN78:
Most Hausa-Fulani and our SW brothers think through their anus and not only that, they have a very short memory. These problems afformentioned is common to both their elites and chaffs.

How could they have forgotten that the agitation for the soveriegn state of Biafra did not just start today. Even in OBJ's regime, through Yaradua, Jonathan, and now Buhari. Did radio Biafra just come on air?

Why did Hausa and YEllobar hate Igbo with passion that they don't find anything reasonable in whatever Igbos does? Then come to think that the same people who now crying foul that Biafrans are being used to distabilize Buhari's administration were the same set of people who used Boko Haram to render GEJ's regime useless.

Why can't this dunce be objective for once! Is Biafran movement the problem of this nation or Boko Haram and corruption?

obailala:
I admire your sense of determination and focus; all I can say is goodluck! However, even though you will NEVER accept this openly (for obvious reasons), the fact remains that the ipob struggle received a huge boost in popularity and followership after GEJ's election loss (also for obvious logical reasons). This remains a glaring fact which is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf, accepting or denying it does not change what it is, A FACT!

Aufbauh:

Your biafran agitation is a fraud built on hatred, bitterness, unforgiving heart and fears to compete politically with other majority group in Nigeria.
It is one of your own Aguyi Ironsi that took Nigeria from regional government to federal system of government. It is also on record that the major political party the PDP then introduced rotational presidency between the North and South, it is your selfish biafrans behind GEJ that truncated the process.
Meanwhile, other southern groups are not barking as they understand the working of politics, hence they are corroborating and improvising well with others. The southwest and the south south had produced Nigerian president in the recent past while the south East is living in their dillusionary dream of Biafra.

pazienza:
That's the only way non Biafrans can see it, and I don't blame them, because it's very difficult to understand the Biafrans if you are not one.

Uwazuruike became popular and Biafra movement received a surge during OBJ reign, why was that?

If you could provide answer to that, you would have found the answer to why the Kanu Nnamdi movement became popular recently.

But it sure had nothing to do with OBJ, Buhari or GEJ.
The Biafran dream is greater than all those mortals, and will outlive them all.

It's an insult to Biafrans for Nigerians to tie the Biafran dream to the fate, be it success or failure of mere mortals.

longayink:
[b]Aguiyi Ironsi's Unitary government system had 50% for derivation going to areas where mineral resources were derived.

Aguiyi Ironsi's system still retained the old north, southwest and southeast regional government systems.

But northern Nigeria believing the civil war was won on its behalf sent its military dictators to create a whooping number of 20 federating units in once ONE region north of Nigeria, with accruing large number of legislators and legislative houses in the 20 federating units; but left only 17 federating units in the once TWO southern regions, with the people of the south under-represented in the polity, including in the NASS.

Through this political structure, the two regions south are reuced to mere appendages to northern Nigeria in Nigeria. At best the two former southern regions struggle for the crumbs that fall from the tables of politicians from the north of Nigeria. The ignorant ones amomg them often spew hate among themselves in the struggle, and make northern politicians laugh at them.

Can you imagine the large state of California or Texas in the US getting divided by soldiers into say, eight states, without dividing other smaller states with equal proportions? If that is done, the US shall be engulfed with crisis as others shall be asking for secession from the US.

Nigeria's fraudulent political structure was created using land mass as criterion. Foul. there is nothing the Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, etc in the south can do to change it again.
Biafra is the answer.

Mugu, a group presenting Nigeria's present did not win a trophy. A president is supposed to look after the entire country as his/her constituency, else the country cannot function well.[/b]

The senator representing Kaduna North Senatorial zone, Kaduna state, Senator Shehu Sani, at the weekend alleged that the new agitation for the sovereign state of Biafra was being sponsored by pro-Jonathan forces who lost the 2015 general elections. According to him, their aim is to destroy the administration of President Mohammadu Buhari by igniting a national conflict, chaos and confusion in the country. Sani, who spoke on Sunday when a youth group from southern Kaduna paid him a courtesy call in his office in Kaduna, described the renewed agitation for Biafra as misguided and ill conceived. "The Biafra agitation is a new attempt to destroy the Mohammadu Buhari administration and to ignite a national conflict and cause chaos, pandemonium, confusion in the country.

"I see it as a plan B action of the pro-Jonathan forces who lost election in the 2015 national elections.

I will also say that the agitation is not reflective of the generality of the interest of the Igbo people of the south-east," Sani said.

According to him, since after the Nigerian civil war which ended in 1970, the Igbos have made tremendous progress in business, entrepreneurship, academics, politics and very sphere of life

stressing that their future is better guaranteed and sustained within a united Nigeria.

This is why i reserved respect for one of the members of this forum @TonyeBarcanista, irrespective of his partisanship as a loyal PDP supporter and his ethnic tie with the defeated former president GEJ, he knows when and where to separate partisanship from National interest. I think the guy can make a better PDP spokesman than Olise Metuh.
