The igbo's are resorting to Biafra as a last option.. They have tried to integrate themselves into this country but the 2 other major tribes do not want it so.

If Nigeria had been a true nation, these agitations by Biafran youths would have evolved into a full-scale revolution by now, and got the thieving greedy elite shitting in their pants and quaking in their boots!

They don't feel threatened now and are still sitting pretty because they're happy the movement is presently tagged as a 'Igbo thing'!

The structure of Nigeria makes it impossible to achieve a full blow revolution. Tribalism has eaten deep down our system, in the sense that, with a Northern in power, the Northern youths will give him full support, not that he is doing well, but simply bcus he is their brother. Same goes to other regions of the country.

The youths of Nigeria can never speak with one voice and move in one accord. That is why we are still dealing with the same old corrupt politicians from 1960 till date. These group of politicians are the problem of Nigeria, and they know the structure of Nigeria can't allow any revolution.

The refusal to implement the National conference resolved by Buhari, is a enough reason for a ruthless revolution in Nigeria. But, how can it happen?

Revolution is the only thing that can save Nigeria . Nigeria can't achieve change in a round table discussion. Our old "corrupt" politicians can't create change. Only the masses (youths) can force Change to come through a revolution.

You cannot have such National Revolution, when yoked together with the primitive Jihardists up north.

These Arabian wanabees will rather spend funds on sharia and Islamic studies that in Science and Technology.

We cannot belong to a country where a child who scored 70% is denied admission while the one that scored 1% is admiitted in the same exam.

We have nothing in comon with the Mohammedian emirates of the North.

Our aspirations, our dreams, our value systems, ways of lives are all different.

Two cannot work together except they agrre.

Besides, Nigeria was never negotiated. We cannot belong to a country where we are slaves in our fathers land.

We want Biafra, we are Biafrans.

Youruba stop this thing you are doing and protest against your leaders too, I am very sure we must find a common ground.

It is because your leaders are sorry if this sounds like an insult, not wise. Yoruba could support regionalism but what is the Yoruba man's business with Biafra. You bring Biafra to the table and you expect me as a Yoruba man to through my hands in the air and support a course that to me makes no sense. Thank you Ambode for reading the riot act in lagos. Any Biafran that wants to cause pandemonium in the southwest because of Biafra should take night bus to auchi and start his agitation from there. Thank you.

OP, above is your answer. Revolutions only occur in nations, Nigeria is not a nation, and so no revolution can occur here, which is exactly why Nigeria will ever remain a retrogressive contraption.

The rulers know the people are not a nation, and so not united, it makes exploiting them and embezzling their funds easy.

Biafra is a nation, and revolutions will always keep her free of bad leaders.

A yoruba friend asked me: under what conditions would you support One Nigeria and let go of the Biafra struggle.

Here was my response:

1. Close down Lagos ports and Open up PH, Calabar, Onitsha and Warri.
2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to Lagos and Abuja airports...only local or minimal connecting flights will be allowed. While this is being done, open up Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international flights...direct and major connecting flights.
3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to move their embassies and consulates from Lagos and Abuja to Enugu, PH and Calabar.
4. All federal governments agencies in Lagos and Abuja shall be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar. CBN, NNPC,e.t.c shall and must relocate to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja, shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
6. If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented, we can try one Nigeria and let's see if you Hausas and Yorubas will like it for a month. Meaning, Yorubas and Hausas needing to get visas shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that. Same with flying or connecting flights, same with shipping and importing their goods, e.t.c.

The yoruba friend replied: you can't be serious, this is wickedness. I said really? Don't you think Biafrans have been suffering and enduring this very same wickedness for over 50 yrs? He was quiet for a few seconds and said: wow, you are right but it never occurred to me. I said, that's the problem with One Nigeria, those who are benefiting love it and would love to maintain the status quo.

A nation despite having an abudance of resources can barely feed itself, limited drinking water, roads f2ked, a government that even a high school president in high school is more diplomatic and actually understand government better, a nation filled with tribalist and ritualist. A nation so terrible that the youth have to result to either begging or criminal sh1ts just to survive while the rich eat like kings.

You are not following Biafra event doesn't mean Biafra agitation wasn't going on then. #DictatorBuhari gave it reason to escalate. Meanwhile, did you hear of MASSOB after the election? Biafra has no connection with politics.
