kingzizzy:Get your leaders to key in into the Biafra project and watch everything go smoothly from there. Preaching violence and confronting the FG in this manner will only bring further alienation to you guys without achieving NOTHING. On a personal level,I now have some kind of dislike for the Igbo race which wasn't the case. Una own don dey too much. 4 Likes |

moderation2020: All these chants are just that chants. The Biafra crew never really come out with practicalities. If Biafra is declared a country tomorrow please explain in practical and mathematics terms how things will work. Will there be elections? How will teachers be paid? Without federal allocation how will salaries be paid in such outfits as the police,civil servants etc? How about electricity and water supply? Please explain how this Biafra will run in practical terms from day 2 of being declared? What happens of no country will recognise it and therefore not trade with biafra? My questions require practical answers and not wishy washy emitional fantasy. I look forward to your answer. 3 Likes |

EUROBOMBER and londoner. I think you are already making some of the Biafrans do have a rethink. Before now, they would have been attacking you with insults. If not that you are well known Igbos, they would have called you Yorubas by now. 4 Likes |

londoner: I'm in Igboland, I feel the pulse of my people. They want their own country because Nigeria is an illegal entity and a failed state. There are many Igbos that can't speak up about Biafra for fear of persecution. In Igbo man in Government employ cannot talk about Biafra. There are Igbos who support Biafra but are weary of war. The reason I can talk about Biafra freely and go out to protest like others is because I'm self employed. If there was a referendum today in Igboland so that Biafra may come by peaceful means, 90% of all Igbos will vote to leave Nigeria. At the end of the day, Nigeria is just mere fabrication of the White man. 1 Like |

kingzizzy: stop coming up with percentages that you have no analysis to back up with. That is how we go about shouting that we are 80% of Lagos, we own 200% of properties in Abuja, we are this we are that. Gosh!! Have we solved our inherent problem of greed and selfishness? You are asking for Biafra but what have our elected IGBO governors done with all the allocations they have been getting? What we need is good governance; to have men of reputation as governors and leaders that will be accountable, men like Buhari I dare say! 1 Like |

EUROBOMBER: I agree with your submissions almost 100%, the part i disagree with is calling Ijaws treacherous, it betrays your lack of understanding of how the real world works. In real life there are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests. When the Ijaw interest aligned with Igbo interest, they spoke with one voice, but when their interests divulged, the Ijaws spoke against the Igbos. Barcanista and Edwin Clark are only protecting the long term interests of their tribes. One tragedy of the Biafran agitation is that it lacks intellectual depth, it is driven primarily by an illiterate for illiterates. Compare it to the "bring back our girls campaign" driven by another "Biafran" Oby Ezekwelisi, it got the world attention and became one of the issues that brought down president Jonathan. Imagine if the Biafran agitation was driven by an intellectual giant like oby ezekwelisi. I am yet to see one influential or intellectual Igbo support the Biafran agitation, all we see are unknown people in foreign lands and aba traders making discordant noise here and there and then of course the online warriors. Nnamdi Kanu's approach of insults, hatred and call for violence will only create more enemies for Igbos and drive away genuine supporters of Biafra. 4 Likes |

londoner: Why did you have to include the "Oba" in ya soliloquy? That was unnecessary since a lot of Igbo leaders said worse before that. I honestly don't know why you lot have to play victim and act sanctimonious all the time. The man exercised his right, with freedom of speech, with no intent, to protect his state - just as a lot of Igbos did before him. Stop it, it's boring. Just discuss ya Biafra issue - the Oba isn't ya problem. 4 Likes |

wirinet: As for the ijaw part you may wish to describe it as a case of interests but I call it treachery. The Igbos stood by the ijaws risking our relevance as a big tribe when other abandoned them. There were even suggestions before the elections that we should jump ship and join the APC where the two other big tribes were but we decided to pitch tent with the minority ijaw man and sink with him. If we could do that for them why is a tonyebarcanista/Truckpusher now calling us land grabbers and expantionists? |

londoner: If the Oba is a fool - then all Igbos who're territorial and will never vote for anyone apart from Igbos in Igboland are bigger fools. All Igbos that voted for GEJ and supported the utterly corrupt Igbos accused of corruption during GEJ's tenure are the biggest fools ever. Can you define what anti-Igbo sentiment is in the context of Igbos trying to force their opinions on a state that isn't ancestrally theirs, especially when they were the ones who visited him and they never protested against what he said? Is Lagos Igboland? 2 Likes |
