That idiot you quoted said his mother is from Benue abi Borno State and he has lived there all his life AND he's also APC, how on earth do you expect him to make any sense on Biafran issue?

olapluto:
I am super convinced that the Biafra agitators of today are the remnants of PDP supporters in the SE. These people were religious in their support for GEJ out of hatred for hausas. It is a Biafra agitation driven by bigotry. I listened to some Radiobiafra broadcast, and the hatred was glaring.
Yesterday, in India and Japan, IPOB folks were adamantly referring to Buhari as a paedo. To me, that is their main issue. Biafra is just a means to and end, a soothening cause to remain relevant after the whole of Nigeria rejected an under-performing president.

This article is from me a Proud Igbo from Abia State.
Can this Nnamdi Kanu Disciples see the kind of insults that are directed at the Great Igbos? Why not Republic of AlaIgbo INSTEAD of Biafra in which He went and started drawing a map which include Ijaws, Itsekiris etc.
That Is Stupidity!
IGBOS are Not Troublemakers, We are peaceful in nature, and have lived, intermarried and intertraded with our Neighbours(Ijaws, Ibibios etc) for years.
Do NOT use the activity of Nnamdi Kanu and his followers to judge a whole IGBO NATION!
Nnamdi Azikiwe played a part in creating this nation and we will stay and fight for our rights.
Igbo Lands have been balkanized, some Igboid groups have denied being Igbo due to the stigma effect of the civil war, The Ohanaeze NdiIgbo should stand up and draw a plan on how to unite the Igbo People both in SE and SS even in Benue, Kogi, TOGETHER and they also build a political bridge with other part of the country inorder to produce a President of Igbo Extraction!
I will NOT sit down and watch Nnamdi Kanu Activites attract insults to the Noble Igbos, what about our Investments in the North and South West? Are we going to forfeit them? Why including Ijaws, Itsekiris etc in his map without consulting them to know their opinion?
FINALLY, No IGBO Governor, Senator, or great personality is supporting Nnamdi Kanu, Do Not Insult IGBOS because of his actions.
If I want to Seceed, I will want a Republic Of AlaIgbo, it will contain all Igbos.
If Lagos state with 3345km2 landmass can contain up to 20million people, then Abia state with 5,430km2 landmass can contain 30million people!
FYI, The South East is bigger than Israel, Rwanda, Singapore, Gabon etc in landmass.
Republic Of AlaIgbo. NOT Biafra.

Absolutely!

The Ipob sect guys are just nothing but disgruntled jonathanians and they've never failed too hide it. THe nnamdi guy has never failed to hide his hatred for anything APC and has called on and threatened his followers on several occasions to vote only PDP. I recently watched the video of the protest at the Nigerian embassy in Japan, they continually referred to Buhari as a paedophile terrorist president who has been killing Igbo women and children. They also claim that Nigeria was under a democracy when GEJ was in power but that we stopped practising a democracy from the second PMB took over; such glaring hypocrisy.

Its just too obvious that all these agitations and noise is just an expression of hatred towards Buhari for daring to win GEJ in a democratic election (not even through a coup). Never in my life have I seen such childish tantrums coming from full grown adults. I find it very depressing whenever I go online and see these multitude of lost souls bringing ridicule to my great tribe and also fuelling needless hatred and enmity

Udmaster:
Just imagine minorities trying insult the Great IGBOS because of Nnamdi Kanu and his followers.
The majority tribes in Nigeria are IGBOS, Yoruba, Hausa.
We are a Majority Nation and should behave like one.

coolscott:
This is not quite the case. I believe you do not live anywhere in the SE or SS
If you lived in the SS you will understand the people (SE Igbos) very well.
It is a continuation of an innate inferiority complex.

They supported GEJ because he was SS just because it made them feel a sense of power (by proxy).
Since GEJ came from the SS, they adopted him as their own. They liked the idea or him being accepted as
Nigerian president as a precursor to Nigerians accepting the idea of an Igbo man as a president because believe it or not,
they already know how unattractive an Igbo man as a presidential candidate is to the generality of the Nigerian populace.

So GEJ loosing the election the way he did (when they wanted him to win) just infuriated them.
Believe it or not, they firmly believed that after GEJ, it would be an Igbo man in 2019. So GEJ losing the way he did
impressed in their minds that there was no hope for this hoped acceptance of a president of Igbo extraction.
This happened to them in both a conscious and subconscious level.

There is hardly any election season in which agitations for Biafra and an Igbo presidency does not increase together.
Oh yes, if GEJ had not lost they would not be protesting now. But the implication of his loss was more devastating to
their political calculations than to any other group of people. That is why they are even more grieved than the south-south
whose son actually lost the elections.

Sadly, this is not the way to go about it. These agitations do not earn them any diplomatic capital (like most of the actions they are proud about).

To be honest, it is my view that Igbos have been earnestly involved in diplomatic self-amputation over the years.

I have written something on NL before on why in the South, Igbos might be a majority in numbers but in terms of civilisation, they are one of the minor minorities and this is shown by the actions of Igbos. This is not meant to insult. I know Igbo parents have told their kids great things about the Igbo people/nation. But it is only true (and naked) self-assessment that can make one come face to face (in reality) with the things he needs to know to improve himself and get better.

To avoid sounding antagonistic, I will only ask a few questions, the answers to which you may go on you own to find out.

1) At what point in history did Igbos know the area covered by Igbo land (Igbo-speaking people)
2) At what point in history did other kingdoms of the south south map out their territory?
3) When was the ancient Igbo military constituted?
4) What war did they fight and over what? And what percentage of Igbo settlements were involved in that war (if any)?
5) What was did other kingdoms of the south-south fight? Over what did they fight and what percentage of their territory was involved in those wars?
6) When did the current chieftaincy system (not the Ozo system) start in Igbo land?
7) Who installed these chiefs?
8 ) At what point in history did the current monarchies of the south-south Ijaw kingdoms start?
9) Who instituted the monarchies and chieftaincy systems of the Ijaw kingdoms?

Investigating these questions will explain to anyone the Igbo man's present day diplomatic state, skill and capital.
It all comes down to things that have been established (or absent) by history.

stop spreading fallacy.
IGBOS have a proud history of established kingdoms and leadership.
Go and read about Ancient Aro Kingdom, Nnewi, Nri(the oldest kingdom in Nigeria), Ngwa, Aguleri etc
the main Igbo title to honour great men is Ozo, Nze, Obi etc.
Our IGBO UKWU Civilization is the Second Oldest after the Nok.
The only difference is that Igbos were republicans in nature who ruled themselves mainly by Clans, but We are Culturally The Same.
That is why Indirect Rule Failed in the Eastern Nigeria.
IGBO IS IGBO whether in SE,SS, Benue, Kogi, Calabar etc
and Lastly, Igbos Voted For ur Ijaw Son GEJ because we believed in his administration and his policies which was not marginalizing for Igbos unlike OBJ, and we are in a democratic era.

coolscott:
[size=14pt]I didn't spread fallacy. I only asked a few revealing questions.
Any Yoruba, Tivi, Boko, Ijaw or Hausa person can go research these questions.

1) At what point in history did Igbos know the area covered by Igbo land (Igbo-speaking people)
2) At what point in history did other kingdoms of the south south map out their territory?
3) When was the ancient Igbo military constituted?
4) What war did they fight and over what? And what percentage of Igbo settlements were involved in that war (if any)?
5) What was did other kingdoms of the south-south fight? Over what did they fight and what percentage of their territory was involved in those wars?
6) When did the current chieftaincy system (not the Ozo system) start in Igbo land?
7) Who installed these chiefs?
8 ) At what point in history did the current monarchies of the south-south Ijaw kingdoms start?
9) Who instituted the monarchies and chieftaincy systems of the Ijaw kingdoms?

Surely asking questions cannot be categorised as statements of fallacy.[/size]

Ijaw Man, IGBO Land is IGBO Land and It Does NOT Belong to you people..
The IGBOS are more populated than Ijaws both in Rivers and Delta State.. FACT!
I know your people have a deep fear for Igbo Presidency, and we exactly know why.

coolscott:
Ha ha! Has nothing to do with the questions I asked. Your mind doesn't seem capable of staying on a straight course of logic.
Anyway, here are the questions again. For you and every other Nigerian to see

1) At what point in history did Igbos know the area covered by Igbo land (Igbo-speaking people)
2) At what point in history did other kingdoms of the south south map out their territory?
3) When was the ancient Igbo military constituted?
4) What war did they fight and over what? And what percentage of Igbo settlements were involved in that war (if any)?
5) What was did other kingdoms of the south-south fight? Over what did they fight and what percentage of their territory was involved in those wars?
6) When did the current chieftaincy system (not the Ozo system) start in Igbo land?
7) Who installed these chiefs?
8 ) At what point in history did the current monarchies of the south-south Ijaw kingdoms start?
9) Who instituted the monarchies and chieftaincy systems of the Ijaw kingdoms?

Stay cool.

freedom by including Ijaws, Itsekiris and attracting insults here and there..

Dbboy:
you are stupid to insult nnamdi Kanu. though i dont like his method but down here in the north you could see his message is hitting some nerve people and international community are beginning to see that the igbos are been marginalized they have come to realize that we truly exist and what we should do as proper igbo men is to fight for our brother in prison to be released because if we keep quite and allow the FG to kill him then what we are telling Nigerian govt is that the igbos are not really serious about there agitation afterward and thats how they would treat all igbos that comes out to air his frustration, so pls do us a favor just shut up and know that an injustice to one igbo man is an injustice to all igbo men.
