OMAR12:Right from the days of Azikwe's NCNC,Igbos have always capitulated when it comes to making key political decisions. I dont think good governance or political savvy is hindered by lack of academic education; there are leaders who had great ideas and made great impact without being educated. |

PeaceOut: But is Nigeria a zoo?, What are the difference between animals and humans?, when you ans it then you know if people in nigeria behaves like animals or human. some people treated to make the country ungovernable and people was massacre even nysc members are they human or animals? The same people are still move freely/rule, the killing still continue the name of herdsmen and other killing of peaceful protesters both Ipod & Shi'ites, are they human or animals?, Oba threaten Igbo's with lagoon if they vote against his candidate, does it happened in country or zoo? why didn't dey arrest him?. Some people instigated northern youths to massacre innocent peoples in the name of religion and till date nothing happened as in arrest or to jail the sponsors, is nigeria a zoo? So is Nnamdi KANU right or wrong. #free Nnamdi kanu #freeBiafra #All hail Biafra. 4 Likes |

givan:D reasons I tnk most Igbos r afraid of leaving r 1. Dey dnt wnt a repeat of D genocide enacted on dem by d federal government. 2. Dere is presently no concrete plan by the advocates 4 separation 2 build a beta nation dan dey r presently in. Dey r more engrossed in fighting 4 Biafran independence dan drawing up solid short, medium & long-term plans 2 create a nation dt wldnt only stand d test of tym bt metamorph in2 a cynosure 4 oda African nations & nations of D world in general. I blv ds is d more important part where utmost attention shld b paid. 3. Most Igbos r settled elsewhere. Majority of dem r based & hv their businesses scattered outside d southeastern region hence relocating in most cases wld b tantamount 2 starting 4rm scratch. Bt despite all these, it doesn't erase d fact ds nation Nigeria stands on a very faulty & shaky foundation & trying 2 sweep things under d carpet wldnt benefit our coun3. |

gemale: Those Igbo's you said that are afraid that Biafra won't be better than Nigeria, are Igbo's that don't believe in them selves and Igbo way of life. ie when you get to the bridge you will know how to cross it. They shouldn't be afraid Inasmuch you plan how to develop Biafra, you have to cross the first huddles, You have a lot to do before getting the independence and they are ongoing. The structures laid by Nnamdi KANU under ipob I which makes them to stand firm up till now even financially is a good example. Have you ask how they manage their resources to with stand government propaganda and actions?. Their investments will be their for them, does Nigerians don't have properties all over the world and what happend to them in those countries? Meanwhile we value life & freedom more than wealth, because if they kill them or burn those properties they will start from scratch too so does it makes any meaning. As you said that nigeria foundation was on faulty foundation should we remain like that?, No we can't we will move ahead to tackle those problems squarely. The majority will be the determining factor whether they are touts, jobless or which ever name you call them. #All hail Biafra #Freennamdi KANU #freeBiafra. 2 Likes |

payosehtor: It is parasitic actually. The north also has the lowest gdp, gdp per capita and IGR, lowest educated population , lowest entrance and performances in WAEC and neco exams. Also the northern sharia states are hypocrites collectING alcohol VAT but bann alcohol. No the oil reserves haven't been proven to be commercialy significant yet. That's why theyvery be searching for past 30 yrs with little to show. The north region is laggard region but it has potential is structured reforms are made.

petsam11: With all this mineral wealth the northern region still the laggard region in many respects. If North agrees it has enough stop the allocation system. Opt for fiscal fedealism and resource control instead of parasite lifestyle. I understand losing SE would be big blow to Nigeria. If theresults sincere reforms people would agitate less. petsam11: The Africans union is not compulsory, US Canada and Mexico's cooperation isnt compulsory. They Scottish had referendum would you want same for SE? Speak of Unions why didn't he bring up EU and fact United Kingdom voted to leave even though the rest didn't like it. I'm not in support of Biafra. I'd rather see needed reforms like decentralization of federal government, fiscal federalism, resources control, land and mineral rights out of exclusive control of Nigerian government. |

Allsouls:Dts d mistake zik & awo made during d fight 4 independence. Dey didn't sit wt d pple & iron out knotty issues sufficiently. Dey were so desperate 4 d British 2 go dt dey jumped in2 bed wt d North, who didn't wnt independence, thereby agreeing 2 cede power 2 D most backward region of D coun3. U can c hw dt grave error is still costing us 2day. Look @ d US. Even b4 dey won independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote d declaration of independence & had started working on d bill of rights. Any nation whose pioneers dnt tnk abt d future & make concrete plans 2 safeguard it is bound 2 fail ab initio. Imagine if dt proverbial bridge u speak of isn't dere, hw do u cross? Hw wld Biafra b structured so dt vices lyk corruption, nepotism, godfatherism, impunity, terrorism etc found in Nigeria doesn't infect Biafra? Hw can u make sure dt oppression is nt reenacted in Biafra? Wt structures wld b place 2 make sure dt d freedom, power & resources meant 4 d pple dnt end up being waylaid by a select few? Hw wld problems lyk poor infrastructure In d southeast b tackled & surmounted shld d dream of biafra b realized? Until Nnamdi kanu & his acolytes can gv a reasonable, specific ansa 2 d pple, majority wldnt b sold on d idea.

If Awlowo had not influenced the ethnocentric cross carpeting of Yoruba NCNC mmbers to AC rendering Ziks NCNC party into a regional party do you thinlk Zik will still trust Awo for a merger? Awolowo introduced ethnic politics into southern reegion, recall Herbert Marcaulay (a yoruba man) handed over NCNC to Zik. Before his demise.

This former minister is still having a mind set of a child. To him God is the same as Queen Eliza, because she put some African nations together and called them Nig.ga Areans so that her people decades later can prosper while the Ni.gga Areans suffer. So, the North can not stand alone abi? The same north was not ready for independence abi? The Biafran people of today don't know "what happened" during the war abi? What happened in a nutshell was the Fulani and some Yoruba conspired to kill for oil and resources the Biafrans, who were fighting for opportunity for black people to be free from a global conspiracy against them. Now fast forward to 2016 and see Africa and see the Western world. Too bad, except the one right thing that he said, which was there actually are a people called "Biafran" people lol 1 Like |

If only Igbo n Hausa had united against their common enemy If only Azikwe had form alliance with Awolowo If only Kaduna Ezechukwu had succeeded in the first coup. If only Ironsi had sustained his leadership position with all his brilliancy -killed or derank Gowon n some northern military elite. If only Ogundipe a yoruba man had muster courage and taken up the Presidential position of Nigeria after Ironsi suicide position If only Ojukwu had not gone to war-or start war or he had won the war n Igbo living separately like Cameroun If only Yoruba had join in the secession n add to igbo strength If only dimka had succeeded in the muritala coup or Gowon was still president till date like some other Africa countries.- I mean if only muritala was not killed . If only Obasanjo had been smart n killed all the top Hausa n made himself life president If only Sheu Shagari was never Nigeria president If only Awolowo had been Nigeria president. If only Buhari never came to power- If only Babangida did not exist-N buhari spend 8years before handed power or depose of his power. If only Babangida was never president or was still president-or if only Henry okah coup was succeeded If only Abacha was never born If only Babangida allowed Abiola to be president. If only shonekan was never interim -if only he was permanent president. If only Abdulsalam was President for 6years n Nigeria constitution drafted differently to speak the very best of Nigeria minds. If only Olufalae had become our president n not Obasanjo. If only Bola Ige is still alive n maybe president now. If only obasanjo had given country to Atiku or Obasanjo had succeeded in his 3rd term bid. If Only yaradua did not die. If only Jonathan was never our president. If only Jonathan got reflected If only Buhari was never our president. If only there is no Northern Supremacy Maybe Just maybe I mean with deem of hope My dear country would have rise up above this mess we are in now. Maybe things would have been much better Maybe worse. Maybe we would have become so rich of a nation Maybe we would have been Africa Dubai Maybe corruption would not have been this serious.
