Rossikki:
Kongi's Harvest

Esteemed writer and Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, has been in the news recently, for stating he supports the agitation for Biafra. Could it be because he sees the huge economic bounty that would land on his people's laps, when Igbos foolishly abandon their billions of dollars of investments and properties in the SW, to form their tiny country?

Kongi is very smart. He did not win the Nobel prize for nothing. Igbos should analyse his statements very well before they start praising him for 'understanding' their plight.

One can easily imagine Soyinka, Tinubu, and other SW leaders, sitting and smiling with glee around steaming hot bowls of Amala and Efo riro, as they discuss their unbelievable good fortune arising from the Igbos departing their region. No doubt, top of their discussions will be devising legal stipulations that will make it virtually impossible for Igbos to transfer their wealth to their new territory, even as they are physically hounded out of the SW.

When that starts to happen, Kongi will be silent, as they reap the Harvest.

No price is too much to pay for our children to be free. In Nigeria the hausa/fulani is the owner and first class citizen, this is unacceptable.

Paranoia everywhere! From Yoruba destabilizing other regions to Wole Soyinka trying to steal ibo properties. I bet if gully erosion should swallow Rossikki's shop tomorrow it will be the handiwork of Yoruba people.

It will not be easy for a start but things will take shape with time.


How can our children grow up in a country where they cannot aspire to be president?

What is the big deal in being president? How many Jews have been president in the US? Yet they they dominate the US economy - finance, technology, entertainment, law, etc etc. They are the richest people in the US. Their interests dictate US internal and foreign policy. You cannot have a president elected in the US today who is not supportive of Israel. They've positioned themselves as kingmakers in the US. These days they don't even want to be president. Why bring unnecessary attention to yourself? Why take the can when things go awry? They even look down on the presidency... they see it as a boy boy job. A front man merely enforcing the dictates of the higher ups, ie Them.

That is the sort of dominance Igbos are equipped to achieve in Nigeria. But rather than face that, they are busying crying over whether one of them was made or not made president. ONE MAN. As if the Igbo president will remember any of them when he achieves power. What else but to enrich himself and his family like the others? And then based on this ''mistreatment'', they want to retreat into a tiny, insignificant country with a much smaller market - economic insanity for an entrepreneurial people, as recently realised by the British, who now regret bitterly their Brexit vote.

In today's world, surival and prosperity are all about market access. There are many ethnic groups in Africa and beyond that would KILL to take the place of Igbos in Nigeria. They would lick their lips at the economic prospects of such instant and free access to Africa's largest consumer market and economy. But Igbos? They've been spoilt. They've come to take the huge 200 million Nigerian market freely available to them for granted. Let them leave. Their eyes will open.

Your children will be serfs like the children of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Togo, Gambia, South Sudan, and other tiny, unviable mini-states on our continent who take their daily orders from London, Washington, Paris, Abuja, and Pretoria. When the president of Uganda visits you, it would be as if the US president came, so insignificant you would have become. Your children would beg Nigeria for access to her huge market. The US, EU and Asia will not grant you access to their markets. Of that you can be sure. Before you know it, social strife arising from unfulfilled promises of a Biafran utopia, and/or competition over resources, would send you spiralling down the road of conflict. Conflicts are so much easier to start in small banana republics.

HurtgenForest:
Rossiki, your argument is baseless and dead on arrival. Wole Soyinka did not start supporting Biafra today, he supported Biafra during the war and was even locked up prison. You have failed already, try again.


You are free to commit suicide if you so wish.


God bless Wole Soyinka, we respect him.

You're so dumb you'll be singing the same tune as Kongi's kids are Harvesting your abandoned trillions.

You 'respect' him because he strokes your tribalist ego.

He supported Biafra in the 60s probably because he wanted rid of the Igbos anyway - as they presented serious competition for his people in the then new nation. The Yoruba intelligentsia have always felt threatened by Igbo dynamism.

If Soyinka thinks Nigeria is such a failed project, why has he never ever suggested Yorubas should secede?

But the minute Igbos announce secessionist intent, he is always the first to declare support.

Eshinwaju:
I just don't understand these iPod youths....a prominent Yoruba son with a clear record of willing to sacrifice his life for the iboes comes out and supports iPod agitations....we are blamed....we don't support......we are blamed again.....what is wrong with you people........what has Yoruba done to you that you see us in all your dreams....na wa for complete madness...

the only luck you have now is that you didn't say anything bad about my people else I would have dealt with you btw am back in the Zoo I must say staying 8hrs without light is hell

Very Amusing Insinuations.

Who doesn't know Rossikki on this forum as the anti igbo monicker.
Dont worry, you will join them in Nigeria when we get biafra

I'm not anti-Igbo. I'm anti-foolishness. Look at you. Olodo. Desperate to become a foreigner in Naija. A foreigner in Abuja. A foreigner in Lagos. No more flexing there. If you do too much they'll kick your butt out....like South African police handle your ilk. You can only flex in Aba and Enugu. Desperate to become small. A local champion. Tufiakwa.

I am a foreigner in Ghana, cameroun, UK, USA, etc.
Have I died?
The people that died from boko haram are no better than those mishandled by south african police.
Your so called lagos and abuja people have mishandled your peope too.
Who told you division will make one not to leave his enclave? You are too timid and naive for this topic.
Is Enugu not a good flexing spot before?

Dummy, unlike Ghana, Cameroun, UK, your people have helped build Nigeria, and have billions of dollars invested in it. And millions of your people depend on access to the Nigerian market for their survival and prosperity. And no, Nigeria will NEVER allow Igbos to settle and prosper in Nigeria if they secede. They will do everything to frustrate you. If you think they won't, you're the biggest fool on the planet. You want to keep your yam for yourself while sharing theirs with them, correct? Mr Sense. Try it.

The Biafran movement is full of thoughtless, planless dreamers like you who think the world owes you a living. I just wish you can get your silly secession dream, so we can all laugh as you turn South Sudan 2, or some other benighted banana republic.

No we will become Singapore not sudan.

I like the way e dey pain you. See name callings all the time.
Nigerians should first start victimizing the lebanese, Indians, chinese, exploiting them in their lands first before doing anything to igbos.
Igbo investments in Ghana, USA, UK, etc are too much too.
Division doesn't mean loss of investments. Stay in Nigeria when biafra comes please. We won't need your ilk

You will become Singapore? Do you have any clue how Singapore came to become a developed economy? How they and a few other Asian states were granted special, unrestricted access to western markets and capital after WW2, to help create capitalist bulwarks in Asia to counter rampant communism? What comparable impetus will drive them to grant Biafra similar benefits to catapault its economy? Africa was long ago designated by them as a source of raw materials, and nothing else. Trade barriers are in place. That won't change because you declared Biafra. Even within Africa, countries are erecting protectionist policies to guard their local industries. So the only real market Igbos have access to is the Nigerian market. A 200 million strong market. Pure gold for an industrious people. And that, you want to run away from. The very definition of economic suicide. Your Biafran movement needs more intellectuals, and less Onitsha traders. You have no clue how the world operates.

You are the clueless one here.
How has Nigeria treated igbos so far? Herdsmen, bokoharam, etc?
See you talking about nigeria maltreating us when they are yet to deal with the foreigners here.
Igbos have markets everywhere and igbo businesses are actually safest in Igboland and other parts of the world that are not Nigeria.
All the burning of igbo shops and harrassment by locals, don't happen much in UK, Ghana than it happens in Nigeria.
Carry your ignorance and shift.
Don't pity us, enjoy your Nigeria alone

How many Igbos have been killed by Fulani herdsmen or Boko Haram, to make you abandon billions of dollars in investment and a 200 million strong market? Burning of Igbo shops and harassment of Igbos.. how often? And how can you be so daft as to not realise that such incidents will multiply a hundred-fold once you legally become foreigners in Nigeria? See? All emotion, no sense. Your secessionism is driven, not by rational economic analysis or geopolitical calculations, but by blind ethnic hatred. Hence your new nation is a calamity waiting to happen. I actually can't wait.

sister or brother ur argument is baseless. go to angola and see what a country can do if they have same aspiration. u must have lived in lagos or abuja too long, its natural to think that way

They keep calling themselves "China of Africa", and i keep wondering what they've ever invented. Even the mallams event better than them. All i see for their Biafra is "Lesotho in the making". Them no know say the name Nigeria is a blessing to who ever bears it all over the world. Infact, they don't think at all. Why can't we take advantage of our size and diversity to oppress other African countries?

What is this one talking about? Angola is a multi-ethnic country. They've been through all sorts of civil wars and conflicts. Now they realise there is no other way but to join forces and move their nation forward. Their three major ethnic groups are the Kikongo, the Chokwe, and the Umbundu. They all have their differences and periodic quarrels/rivalries etc. But you will never see any of them saying they want to secede from Angola. In fact, you have no right to mention Angola in your Biafra talk. They have sense. You don't.

This op should stop causing mischief what do you stand to gain by opening this thread in case you don't know wole soyinka gani fawhemi are among the biggest igbo supporters did you know that soyinka was jailed for supporting biafra

Actually, the Chinese haven't invented much of late... What they've done is 'replicate' what is out there, at lower cost, and in vast quantities. Igbos will thrive if they do this in the Nigerian context. Nigeria has leverage that can help them cut trade deals which a small 'Biafra' cannot. Can Togo or Sierra Leone cut international deals with the major powers? Or even with middle powers? For where? Their own is to take orders from the IMF, World bank etc. If they step out of line, those organisations will shut down their economies the next day. That is the level 'Biafra' would be on.
