It saddens me to read most comments on this thread esp the ones by our ladies who liken war to situational rift with their boyfriend, in which they emerge with semi-blinded eyes and swollen faces only to reconcile and continue the tune of love. And for those shouting: '1967 ain't 2016', I concur wit you. The difference in in tragedy th with occur is that in 1967, your parents survived that 'child-play' to give birth to you. But in the war drum you beating in 2016, you won't survive it, let alone to raise a family to tell the story. And for those shouting the Hague, I think most of you just hearing the word for the first time. Many don't even know which country, the ICC is. You think is every Leader they summon there. Despite Putin's high-handedness against the secessionist in Cremea, no western media has ever threatened him wit the Hague because they knew it is futile. My question is where were the biafran secessionists when Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan was in power? Or where the various militant groups in hibernation during Gej's tenure? The truth is most of us from the 80s and onto 90s in this forum have never heard the sound of mortals and maybe the breezing speed of a bullet past our ears, hence our constant clamouring for war. If there is injustice and marginalisation in the land, there a means of resolving it. It is not the present administration that cause it, rather he is cleaning the mess of 30years, let give him a chance.

TS2:
This kind of mentality is what has prevented the Igbos from achieving their full potential. Everyone knows they are the most industrious in the country.

But this victim mentality is what makes you always make wrong political decisions which have undermined your progress. Keep at it.

fulanimafia:
You've all heard the war veteran.

If those that dared to attack the military during their secession protests had reflected 'very seriously' about the avoidable Biafran war and the outcome, some wouldn't be 6 feet down in the earth today like those that came before them.

Reflect. Very. Seriously. And. Be. Wise.

The only problem I see here is that this is not 1967.

This is the problem wen a man at departure lounge is asked to preside. This is 2016.

Go ahead and commit genocide, we wont rest until u make ur appearance in the Hague for war crime.

As e be u, na so e be us, we are fully committed.


If Buhari don't kill 30million den he is a bastard.

As a dictator he did not last one year, so he is turning out democracy to dictatorship. The coward was the only dictator displaced without one gun shot!

u mean ur yoruba father?

obailala:
Wailers!

elisra:
i love ur approach that is trying to win a war without firing a shot,u think u can pretend to be smart and cow igbos to remain in slavery?ofcourse you wont understand that a threat pumps adrenaline up the heart of an ibo person.
If u are not ready to fight,never threaten an ibo because threats dont work.
Anyway u are a fool for thinking about that its possible to wipe out an entire race,ask Hitler whether he succeeded but Jews are still bouncing just as ibos are bubbling after the civil war.
Civil war 2.0 is loading but things have changed.
Life is a dream,death is the ultimate reality.

PapaBrowne:
This is the kind of speech that caused Nigeria to loose a million barrels of crude and achieve a record 0 megawatts of power.

I'm not one to insult a leader but I must admit that with this kind of thinking, we have a foolish president.

You are telling people to remember Biafra in a way that suggests that you are ready to kill another 2 million people to keep the Phantom "one Nigeria ". What kinda leader speaks like this to a large section of the country.

What would be wrong if he says, as a people we need to discuss from time to time to perfect our unity. Whatever makes so so and so section of the country feel aggrieved should be looked into. Whatever makes so and so section of the country terribly poor even when others Progress should be looked into.

What kinda president speaks foolishly like this. The next thing now Avengers would ground oil production and you'll run to London again to treat hair loss and leave the mess for Osibanjo to clean up. Nonsense.

fratermathy:
We destroy our own environment in other to spite government as if those in power will feel it. Simple truth is that they won't! They have eaten enough money to last them for generations. It's the common man that will suffer it. Our environment has been destroyed, rivers polluted, no development anywhere & youth restiveness but we add self destruction to all these because of "our oil" mentality. What have our leaders done for us? What have the so-called freedom fighters done for the common man? We keep blaming government that builds schools, hospitals, etc for us and yet we can't see our own enemies. We Niger Deltans and even the south easterners are so wicked to ourselves and self centred. We are cruel to our plight and only God can help us, not the government, not federalism and not even secession. Even if we have Niger Delta republic or Biafra today, worse problems shall emerge because the same wicked and self centred hegemonic people will still be at the helms of affairs. So there is no utopia for us unless we fight for our rights, the right way.

The government has not done enough, granted! But why do we cause more havoc? Violence is not the way. Scoring own goals is not the way.

We can dialogue, involve international groups and other nations, cause civil disobedience, protest, etc but never violence or self destruction. Look at the American Civil rights movement and learn a lesson or two from there.



It is well..


I remain that very sharp Urhobo boy!

efficiencie:
Napoleon was a brutal man in combat but he'd rather win a war without a fight (Robert Green, 33 Strategies of War). Winning a war becomes foolish, when you have to fight so many battles, lose so many good soldiers, lose hard earned wealth and render yourself incapacitated in the process! Yes death is a reality but do you think those who fought the 1967 war would fight again if they were given the chance to. Do you think the Igbos who died in combat would be happy with an Ojukwu who decided not to meet the ultimate reality in the hands of Nigerian soldiers? Do you think that those who died in the war would love to start it again after seeing the hardship and poverty that would follow for generations?

I trust you anyway, you would be one of the few privileged who would escape to South Africa when the sounds of missiles play an orchestra for your timid ears...I have learned that true warriors go to the battlefield as a last resort but cowards dance easily to the beating of war drums!

hartopher76:
then my question is this; why is it that buhari, and his party APC find it difficult taking responsibility for there failure instead they blame GEJ even one year of being in power?

Kestolovee95:
See 'mr I-am-Igbo' frustrated that Igbos have refused to be dictated to by the fulanis.

elisra:
nairaland.com's aka hypocrites.com is a gathering of hypocrites.
The gang up against ibos is the barrier and not the mentality of the average ibo.
Because without our mentality we are nothing.
Anyway i thank God things are playing out.

nzemila:
how many times have you had him talk about GEJ or you want ti carry your nairaland stuff put on his head.

obailala:
Shove ur worthless opinion up ur a*s. If it pains you so much that there are some igbos who support Apc/buhari and dont reason in your shallow clannish cesspit, you can do yourself a favour by hanging yourself.

Kestolovee95:
Keep deceiving yourself trying to prove to us that sane Igbos want to surrender to a feuda fulani bigot. Na you get sense pass, na idiotts we be. yoruba muslim impostor!

obailala:
Ha-ha-ha... oh yes, i am a yoruba muslim. So i hope that eases off a bit of your self inflicted frustration?.... thank me later.

Fyno:
Who are those 'our leaders'?
Were they elected by the masses? The answer is No in most circumstance. Most of this leaders are products of the military generals,they are answerable to their masters and not the masses.

The only option left for the common man is to destroy the economic lifeline of the country because you dare not protest for the army will use you for shooting practice.

vislabraye:
Buhari is not a serious person. He gets angry when Biafra clamour for separation but this same man supports the independence of Palestine.
