Ngozi123:
My mistake, I apologise. Most Igbo threads these days, particularly about Igbo nationalism, are infiltrated by non-Igbos who have no interest in the welfare of Ndigbo.

Funnicator:
It still doesn't make IPOB and RadioBiafra a proper legitimate means to afford your wish.

Scotland never went that way, wise people learn Approach to success from Successful men.

Ngozi123:
Scotland are a part of a country that respects its citizens right to free speech and self-determination. Have you ever heard of the British Government ordering the arrest of peaceful protesters or even going to the extent to murder scores of them? I haven't, at least not in recent history. Nigeria is a very corrupt country, you cannot compare it to actual democratic states.

Funnicator:
Nsogbu adighi. I'm just reasoning towards a successful approach towars actualizing Biafra.

Funnicator:
Believe me, it'd be very difficult to obtain a UN supervised referendum.

The easiest IGBOS can get is a fiscal federalism which in it's own sense, is almost same as each component being a country of it's own. It's easier to get this because the SS, SW and some NC states are pro-Federalism.

dEastActivist:
Lol!!! At the bolded. You are just pathetic.
Meanwhile constitution can be amended...
All I can tell you is that the platform is already there and when secession becomes an Igbo agenda we will do something about it. But before then ipob remains and apga remains.

kropotkin2:
Nice and when you eventually secede, will you all leave Nigerian soil with immediate effect?

Nigeria will leave our soil with the speed of light not the other way round

gidgiddy:
Everything above is complete nonsense. So when IPOB manages to win every political seat in the SE/SS area and they go to the National Assembly and move a motion for independence, the other 4 zones will just vote it out. So whats the point?

By the way, which political party did Lord Lugard form when he was making you a Nigerian?

Rossikk:
From an economic perspective, secession makes no sense. That is the main reason no educated person will form a secessionist party to go and make fools of themselves in Abuja. Why should Igbos, an entrepreneural people with access to a ready market of 200 million people, retreat from that into their little kingdom, abandoning billions of dollars in investments all over Nigeria? It makes no sense.. That's why youonly see these thugs and jobless youths supporting the movement.

Funnicator:
That's selfishness to continue pursuing money to the detriment of your home that has been raped, abandoned to rot by FG and you always end up being shot at during religious or ethnic cleansing.

Igbo's have been unfairly treated after 1970, so I understand the secession movement, although the approach doesn't look effective to me.

Funnicator:
IPOB should join Politics, so if on a successful seccession from the Nigerian country, they will already have an organized system in place to continue governing themselves.

Prior to independence, do you think there would have been Independent Nigeria had Zik not formed NCNC, Awo AG and Bello NPC in order to wrestle Power away from Colonialists?

Even the Scottish people have a pro-Independence Party through which they muscled for a Referendum.

An Organized Party gives you a Recognition, legitimate recognition and platform, internationally and within the country.

All these FB, Nairaland and Radio Noise without a legitimate movement(Party) for your cause will just be seen as mere Noise, Attention-Seeking and Propaganda and you guys won't be taken seriously until you take your Movement seriously by having a legally recognized Party. Even the persecuted Jews had their party before they were able to gain Independence.


Nigerians and the World don't hate you, but if you must do something you must follow the appropriate process, otherwise you'll have unrecognized Heads.

Forge a Party to further your cause and you'll have more recognition and legitimacy.

Referendum is alien to our constitution so there is no ground to argue it in the Red Chambers, at this point this is where the International Community may understand your plight, having been mandated by your people to seek an exit from Nigeria but referendum is unconstitutional, the UN can now discuss with the FG and subtly bend her to veto a referendum.

Truth is if you don't legitimately seek mandate of Igbo people in order to represent them in Biafra talks your rantings will be seen as handiwork of jobless millions of people.

Even Ojukwu got the mandate of the Eastern Regional Assembly before proclaiming Biafra. Who now gives you the mandate/strength/authority to proclaim Biafra?

See my point?

Rossikk:
Which home is raped and abandoned to rot? I've no idea what you're talking about. Eastern Nigeria is among the most developed parts of Nigeria, with among the highest living standards. If you were in Sokoto or Borno then what will you do? Kill yourself? It's the people there that I wlll even understand if they say they want to secede.

Allsouls:
What makes one to have the mandate to represent his group or people?,
Any body or group with simple majority is the peoples mouth piece which i think IPOB commands based on what i saw since the arrest of KANU and random sampling of opinions majority from youths of old eastern region.
You may tag me IPOB which I'm not but i believe in the truth because its only the truth can set us free.
By the way what percentage of Igbo's voted for those that have the mandate to speak for them as you claimed, and where and when was the voting carried out?.

victorvezx:
Lol, are unemployed thugs the majority in Igboland? I have watched the videos of their protest, and all I can see are very poor and dirty people, mostly touts and thugs who don't know what they are getting into. It's as if they are just following the new trend without knowing the consequences. I am yet to see educated and well meaning igbos support the struggle.

OPCNAIRALAND:
I just dey laugh on Zik forming NCNC.
