I thought that you only had hot air between your ears, now I know you have a brain, however, there is something you do not understand, [size=14pt]there has never been any election in any state in the old eastern region, I mean all, except for Wike's River state[/size], they were all selected by those at 10 downing street and aso rock to and they signed a document of loyalty before becoming anything, so if you understand what obasanjo said that some biafrans were settled after the genocide you will easily understand what I means. If buhari can do what you typed above I can bet with my last kobo,things will change, a lot of things will change, how ever they will never accept unless they FORCED to do so, that is why I regard Toye becarnista as a foolish fellow, you can never have that resource control until you force it out of their hands, it does not necessarily mean breaking up Nigeria.

I just don't get it when people play the victim card on the number of people that died in the inglorious civil war. I don't care about the number be it 500k, 1m, 3m or even 10m! Afterall, it was a war and the biafra soldiers were not saying the lords prayers - they were busy killing Nigerians too.

For some reasons, I took a public transport some weeks ago I heard some guys discussing (they were both ibos). One of them ask the other "how on earth do you fight with someone that feeds you?" According to him, although Awolowo was wrong for the so-called starvation policy, but should be commended for ending the war sooner because he (Awo) could have chosen to poison the foods and kill millions more instead of the blockade.

I never thought of it that way before but it rang through to me. You can't pick up a fight with your boss and later turn around complaining that he sacks you! His point was that the ibos started a war that they were not prepared for and now complaining of the consequence - fighting someone that feed you and later complain of not giving you food.

Having said that the truth is that everybody has a GOD given right to call for self-determination. BUT it must be through peaceful means. Otherwise history is notorious of having a way to repeat itself. A friend showed me a video on a questions and answer summit by some Igbo group with Mr Kanu. It was shocking to see how unprepaired the guy is as he couldn't give convincing answers to some of the questions asked.

Any group is free to ask for independence but it has to be peaceful without insult to others especially those who they think should follow them.

Recall that the jews all over the world still remember the massacre of 6 million jews, but the Nigerian state have chosen to ignore such despicable genocide against the Biafran people.

1st time you write something GOOD

PedroJP:
Hold ur anger bro. When we see some of them who show little understanding of our agitation and the need to divide, we shouldn't attack, we enlighten and correct them.



Peaceful division of this country will favour all as we can always have each others interest protected with all sincerity.

Nigerian education fills the mind of Nigerian youths with garbage, was Nigeria feeding Biafra, do you know what a blockade means? Awolowo brought that devilish and wicked idea and the British carried it out, that is why Bakassi is no longer part of Nigeria, go and do your home work.

I have keenly observed the current events that have led to the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the Biafran movement. I have mixed reactions to the events that have transpired and have communicated my thoughts to the Nigerian Presidency. I will attempt elucidating my thoughts here.

1. I am of the opinion that the call for Biafra is legitimate: Firstly, Biafra existed before Nigeria was created. It was made up of people with similar cultures and language (with majority tribe being Igbo). It is perfectly legitimate for the original inhabitants of the country to yearn to have back their country and resources under their control. However, I do not believe that Biafra is a viable solution at this time.

2. During the Biafran war it is estimated that at least 1 million people of largely Igbo extraction were killed! This is no doubt in mind a genocide. However, the Nigerian government has made a fundamental mistake by:

a. Not recognizing it ever took place, or playing down the number of those that died for political reasons, only serve to fuel violence and the call for secession.
b. They have also made a major mistake by not even having a memorial day to remember those that died during the genocide - This action alone will give a sense of belonging and would foster a deepened National unity.

3. If the government does not look into the creation of a true federation whilst implementing its pseudo-federalism, and pretend that a genocide never took place, then the dissolution of Nigeria or even the metastasis of the Biafrian movement becomes inevitable.

4. Despite the premise I have laid out, I still do not think a Biafran state is viable. This is why

i. The Eastern Goverments are fundamentally corrupt; A visit to present day Imo and Abia will attest to the corruption and rot that have plagued the region. These leaders have all FAILED to develop the east with the resources given to them. If they had made the East the "dubai" of Nigeria, everyone including the international community would have taken the cry for Biafra serious. The argument would be if the "Biafran leaders" can develop their region with the "little" resources given them, it is only fair they secede and do even more for their people and their region. However, this is not the case. A Biafran state will only lead to another mini civil war, and a fight for resources and wealth among Biafrans.

ii. Since 1970 when the war ended the geo-political dynamics of the Biafran region has changed. For example the people of Rivers would not want to be part of a country where their individual tribes become a minority. Same will go to Akwa Ibom etc. This will then lead to a disintegration of the original Biafran state, and would lead to a battle for resource control.

iii. If the above happens, Biafra would essentially be a landlocked country, and this can lead to an invasion and fight of Rivers, in order to fight for port control, oil revenue etc. Igbos will definitely need the ports since most of them are international business men, and won't afford to pay regions like Rivers for all the billions of dollars of imports that takes place in the region.

In summary, an eventual Biafran state through a peaceful referendum will lead to a situation worse than South Sundan.

Way forward:

1. President Buhari MUST as a matter of urgency look into the white paper of the national conference and work assidiously with congress to make sure he implements true Federalism.

2. We must as a matter of urgency accept that at least 1 million Igbos where killed and establish a day to remember these precious lives that were gone. We must go a step further to make sure we teach this history to our kids, and not ban it from being tought in schools.

3. If the Federal government treat the Biafra issue with kids gloves, we may have something worse than Boko Haram in our hands.

4. Release Nnamdi Kanu immediately! Sit down with him and lay out your plans to resolve this issue. It would be a disservice to the Igbo people to compare the rise of Boko Haram with this present agitation, but history has thought us that as dynamic and complex Nigeria is, we MUST as a matter of urgency address the agitation of the Biafrans, before it metastasize to a problem bigger than Nigeria. A stitch in time saves nine!

Personally, I have shared these thoughts to my friend and brother Femi Adeshina with the hope that he would communicate this to P.M.B.

It is my hope that this does not destroy our country in our very eyes.

The yorubas can cry as much as they want.
we dnt give a toss. Biafra is here.

Just read the write up. I shake my head. I reiterate the oduduwa with their useless attitude will be worse than the zoo

Listen to him. Sit down and talk to Nnamdi Kanu. Haha. I Keep saying this, just because we share the same skin colour does not replicate we are one people. We are Biafrans for heaven sake.

The fear of Biafra hahaha. We expect more of these useless writings in the coming weeks.

Phinity318:
All of u clamoring for biafra are jobless and don't have anything doing like Director.. those big players who have a stake and businesses spread across Nigeria knows the loss they will incur if It's ever happens.. reason why the clamour is from the bottom (low class ) and not the top. If u don't know the losses the igbos incurred after the civil war then read the aftermath of the biafran war. don't come here and start running ur mouth like u matter. cos ur opinion will start and end here online... and seun will push back this topic to the back (dust ) once new ones are created. last bullet: we are better off as one... make good of ur life and become relevant.

laudate:
Guy, don't waste your time. They know the truth, but would never admit it. It suits them to blame everyone else for their woes, while absolving themselves of any responsibility. Ok, how come the Biafran soldiers and military high command never suffered from kwashiorkor during the war?? How come they declined the use of a land corridor to allow the entry of food into Biafra during the war?? How come they did not test the food for poison in Biafra, after letting it in to show the world if such food was poisoned or not, before rejecting the offer? It is all propaganda, my friend. And these guys are masters at it.

demmy:
Wrong.
