What is your take on the struggle to actualise Biafra Republic ? Strictly, Biafra is an Igbo agenda. I am surprised that it is the Igbo as a group that would want to secede because the Igbo, in my opinion, need Nigeria as much as Nigeria needs them. We all need one another to succeed in a true federation. The Igbo, without too much of exaggeration, half of this Abuja is owned by the Igbo. I do not know why anybody would want to run away from that. Go to Port-Harcourt. Go to Lagos, Kano. The Igbo cannot agree to confine themselves to Biafra. They are not that type of people. It is not the Igbo that I know. They want to go out and when they go out, believe me, in certain areas they always go out and conquer. If somebody was forcing them to go back to Biafra, they would say no that they want to have their own part of Nigeria but maybe they have a reason and that reason may be coming from the feeling of a certain level of injustice within the federation. And that injustice exists because of the nature of the federation we are running. Proper fiscal federalism It goes back to the same thing that I said before, if we are able to just agree to establish a proper fiscal federalism today believe me, the Biafrans would say now they are happy because they can be themselves within this federation. There are so many other splinter groups that are fighting for their various interests; there is one that said they are not even fighting the Niger Delta war but an Ijaw war; another one said it is a South-South war and they have their territory defined already and their currency is ready. There are many secessionists threats and these arose from the fault lines of our federal arrangement today. So, this leads me to this concept of whether we should negotiate or not. You have to renegotiate. If you talk about renegotiation, some people think you want to split the country. No, it is like every time they tell you to go and investigate somebody, you think it means you must go and find that person guilty. No, do not forget that they investigated Dr Alex Ekwueme and came back and said in fact, he was poorer than when he went in (to government). The people of Nigeria are dissatisfied with the current federal arrangement or whatever is binding them together now and are saying they want to renegotiate the terms of staying together. The president quoted Gowon. Gowon had said that keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be achieved. That task was achieved by military means. He (Buhari) is not a military man now, he is a democrat, a politician. So, the only means politicians have is to negotiate. So, what did you mean by you won’t negotiate? If you want to keep Nigeria one today, you must negotiate the terms and conditions of the people staying together and it goes back to the conference report, it goes back to the concept of fiscal federalism friction. Are you not disturbed by the resurgence of militancy in your area especially now that the Niger Delta Avengers have ruled out negotiation with the federal government? Like I said earlier, things that are happening in Nigeria are very worrisome. If I may be simplistic, it all has to do with dissatisfaction. Let’s look at that South-South and what is going on. As Governors-Elect, we were called to the first meeting with the Ruling Council at the time under Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar. At that meeting, I clearly remember, Gen. Popoola, I believe that was the name, was asked to give a report on the Niger Delta. He gave us a report that ended with the fact that the terrain was too difficult to develop. I could not resist it. I raised my hand and I was allowed to speak. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]I said, ‘Sir, we are sitting here saying that the South-South terrain is too difficult to develop, how come it is not too difficult for us to drill and bring out the oil?’ When we left that meeting, my younger brother who happened to be the Chief of Air Staff at the time called me and said that I should thank my God that I was not a military man; that I would have left that meeting in handcuffs; that how could I be so audacious to say that? But I could not resist the urge to speak. The South-South has always suffered a lot. I have written a paper and what I tried to explain to this country is becoming quiet palpable.

That may not be far from the truth and that remans the greatest setback on the realization of the Biafra state.

OK

Having properties elsewhere does not change anything,Igbos also have properties in ghana, london, usa and the rest of the world. That will not stop us from having biafra.

IGBOS and FULANI are like bread and butter claiming everywhere is there own mtswww.

Did an Akwa-Ibom ex Governor sell half of Abuja to Ibos?

Either way, we want Biafra to actualize.

May be, El'rufai did!

Stop fooling yourself, igbos dont own half of anything in abuja and lagos.

You lots must first learn to tell youselves the hard truth. That is the first step for the realisation of your biafran nation.

As long as you guys keep living in dellusion and self deceit, nothing for you guys.

You lots must also learn to love other tribes especially the hausas and yorubas. Igbos will need the supports of other regions to seceed without war.
As long as you guys keep hating others and cultivating a 'better than thou' attitude towards others, nothing for you.

You guys must form a very strong political party to contend with the like of APC and PDP. A party that can make igbos relevance in the Nigerian political arena. Stop doing political follow-follow... Form ur own party and present your own presidential candidate that all the south east will massively support during elections, either he wins or not. Stop endosing candidates from other regions for support.

I dey come back..

Talk is cheap. Do you even have a 1000sq land anywhere in Nigeria? You think its easy for a man with Millions worth of properties elsewhere to let go of it and go back to Anambra or Enugu and start Afresh without a wide Market and land? Think again. Those crying for Biafra havnt got a penny beyond south east and have probably never gone beyond that area.

DONT KNOW ABOUT LAND OWNERSHIP IN ABUJA.. #RESTRUCTURENAIJA

It is no longer news. Only one group of people that live in denial will deny this fact

Not only in Abj IGBO Own Half Of the world. Dz people and their mysterious stats Those people who usually shout we own and develop lagos here on nairaland don't even have 1 feet not to talk of a plot of land in lag. But they can die shouting we own the world Av asked many of them how many plot they owned! Guess what? I don't get replies

See them Afonjas rearing their oblong coneheads when they should be hiding in shame after mortgaging their wicked souls for peanuts thinking their man in Bourdillon would call the shots in Aso Rock. Alas, they guffed...

Igbos, beware of Afonjas parading around your landed properties as Omoniles. They are blood-thirsty, desperate land-grabbers.

D problem with u lots is dat u sit down @ ur backyard in Akure 2 write rubbish

Hv u travelled outside ur village.

Attah is not from SE either is he Igbo.

Abuja is a very small place, I hv a friend of mine that is big time agent in Abuja

He is from BENUE state.

Point to any big properties and he will tell u the owner.

He once told me that IGBO Aactually owns half of properties in Abuja

Either direct or through proxy.

That one surprising part is that 95% of all this properties all had a change of Name.

Which means dey were not directly allocated to them, rather they purchased it from the Original allottee.

What this means is that, the FCDA hardly allocate any land to Igbos, so dey hv to buy it from the northerners who
Always benefit from it.


All the Contract I hv executed in my life, none has ever been allocated to me, I always buy it from mi Northern contacts

Who are d original awardee.

The Nigeria system is designed in such a way to keep IGBO man. Down,

but guessed what it ain't working.

We rock!!!


Idensko.

Smh for u

It's always this chest-beating problem. Who conducted the statistics, how and when? Until I get the answer to this questions, I consider it a huge lie.

I dey come back..

Guy for Lagos wey I dey so, free am.... Both for population and landed properties, na Igbos dey run am.

Not half, but actually 67%.

The thing pain the ewedu yoots well well.

Even if we get Biafra, we shall protect all our properties outside Biafra. Even if it means invading the Brown Roof Republic. Tampering with Biafran business interest is an art of war.

The Afonjas should take note, if u think we don't have plan for u greedy lots.

ibos are very good on keypads amongst all d tribes in Nigeria....they own everything through keypad typing.
