Though the approach is not the very best, the struggle is right and purposeful. 1 Like |

sweerychick: This story is why you should have rejected the notion of 'one Nigeria'. How can someone call you "Brother" but will come to your land, take over everything, rape your women, forcibly marry some off and the person will tell you he is doing this because he wants to be "one" with you? This is the same way that Lord Lugard came to West Africa to create 'Nigeria'. It is the same way Nigeria has been kept together for 102 years. So the Biafran agitators are right to demand a separate existence from Nigeria just as their forefather were before Lugard came. It is a sorry story, I have heard many like it about war time attrocities. But it all points to the fact the freedom is one of the few things in life worth fighting for. 20 Likes |

sweerychick:Please do us a favor and keep quiet on threads like this. You just shared a story your mother told you about Biafra war but have you listened to the story of an Enugu woman who was a victim of the herdsmen massacre? Some of them are currently mad. What was their crime? Have you listened to stories of thousands of igbo families that lost their loved ones and properties in the north? Fact is, we get killed whether we fight or not and in my opinion, it's better to get killed while fighting for your freedom than to stay at home like a coward and still get killed in the end. When they killed us in the north, folks like you blamed us for going to North but they now come down south now to kill us. To add salt to our injury, the same bigot who was so angry when some Fulanis where killed somewhere in South west opened his outdated and poorly arranged teeth to tell the world that our killers are not Nigerians. But they automatically become Nigerians when we turn around to kill them. You don't understand a lot of things and that's the sole reason I am begging you to keep quiet on threads like this. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

Yoruba needs Odua, Igbos need Biafra... Does that mean it's only Hausas that are holding the country together? Are they this powerful? |

Alcatraz003: You don't just get it, do you? Suprising! The clamour is not against any people, tribe, ethnic group, or country. It is against the system. The neocolonial system that has imprisoned the Africans in sham, unviable, psedo nation states. It is this bondage that every single ethnic group in Nigeria is clamouring about, begging God for liberation. What is the various pan tribal groups all about? From OPC to Afenifere, MEND (MOVEMENT FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF NIGER DELTA), MOSOP (Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People), AREWA, BOKO HARAM, etc Every single one is crying for liberation from oppression! So who is oppressing who? It is not any particular person or region. It is the system. That is why the wise ones have never ceased the call for restructuring based on a sovereign national conference to reconstitute the country in the best form it can be for the welfare of its people. 5 Likes |

modsfucker: Somehow, yes. This country was entrusted to the Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy by the erstwhile colonial power to be its proxy, and guarantee its continued functioning as a colony. They reared and brainwashed the children of the oligarchy for this purpose, and in return they pledge to Prop up their power, rule, and priviledges. For this reason, the Western powers will always support the northern oligarchy to hold power in Nigeria against all other comers. They know that southerners in power will likely succumb to the masses pressure to restructure the country. The Northern Oligarchy will NEVER restructure this country because their POWER is based on the existing chaos and irregularities. The elite of the north are now caught in a dilemma. The way they operate the country does not mean well for the Nigerian masses including their own subjects, who are even worse off. Their subjects demand of them dividends of their rulership and they can not deliver, instead they try to use ethnicity and religion to pull the wool over the masses eyes. When the masses hold them to account over the same religion they are found wanting. That is the tragedy of boko haram. You told me that the reason for the wretched state of things is lack of sharia, Ok can we set things aright by full implementation? and then you baulk! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Igbos and non Igbos living only in S.E are the ones who would obey the sit at home protest. I don't expect Igbos in other parts of the region in the North, SW and likely SS to do same. Here in my area in Lagos which is dominated by Igbos is already bustling with activities. I teased Oga sunny, the guy who owns a supermarket where I buy things about it today and he just laughed and hissed saying "Wetin concern me?" 2 Likes |

Alcatraz003: Isn't your reasoning flawed? Seriously, you're better than Ifeanyi Ubah and the likes? Like you believe because you're Yoruba you're better than Ezekwezili? Are you kidding me? Honestly, you are either a bigot or just plain foolish. I'm a Yoruba man, my wife is Igbo (thoroughly Igboid), her boss is Hausa. Honestly, its a bad brain to think you're better than anyone just because you're from a particular tribe. Her Hausa boss is one of the best brains in his field in Nigeria. You need to meet him and wonder how Nairaland had affected your reasoning. Truth is; people are superior in their brain due to their individuality and not by their tribes. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

He went ahead and boasted in one of his comments that if all Biafrans in Lagos should abide by this, Lagos economy would be shut down.
