OMAR12:
the thing is if u take a look at the background of most politician for the east. they are not educated go thru their history, the educated ones are not the ones in power. they simply shy away from it.

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:



Buhari did what any leader will do in such circumstances. How can a group of people call their country a zoo and encourage violent through provocative statement. It not done bro, the fact that Gej choose to ignore due to whatever reason he has doesn't mean buhari should follow his precedent.

In these case, kanu is the architect of problem

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.

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.

You honour those that deserve it but not those that kill, rape and collect your valuables like those founders of Nigeria.
Intact you will delete their names from your own or disown them

The old baboon spewing trash again.

It is gradually dawning on the northern feudal cabal that separation is inevitable; hence they are scurrying out of their holes and panicking for a solution. Dont bother yourself Alhaji. It is only a matter of time.

Prepare to pack and go your way! We the southerners dont want again. Is it by force?

Lol. Keep deluding yourself feeling funky.

The men who matter will always decide. Not some kid.

payosehtor:
you brag about oil and call the north "parasite ", we hear you say the north is interested in one Nigeria cuz of oil bra bra, now the elder state man has told you the north has more than oil.instead of refuting his claims constructively, you are now talking of HUMAN RESOURCES as if that has been the borne of contention all this while.

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:

The North has got enough. We have got diamonds, gold, uranium and even oil and minerals. We have got agricultural lands. We have got the land and we can be on our own , but I don’t want us to be alone .

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:

Even Africa has got an African Union. The United States of America is thinking of teaming up with Canada and Brazil to form an Economic Union in that area. We are talking of globalization and unification. Quite recently, Scotland wanted to break away from Great Britain, they had a plebiscite recently . It did not succeed. They remained one.

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.

People started talking or urging the two southern parties, Action Group and NCNC, to form an alliance. If they did, they would be able to form a government. But some well-meaning people waded into the crisis. They said look, if you do that, you will elbow out the North. The NPC represents the North; it is more than half of the country in size and population. If you did that, you will elbow out the North and the North might think of breaking away from the country. They told Zik, “Look you were in the forefront for the struggle of the independence of the country and you wanted an independent , united Nigeria. If you did this , you will be breaking up Nigeria. That was not your wish.” And Zik did the right thing, he agreed to enter into alliance with the NPC.


the truth has been revealed!
Zik was the nation's problem, not AWO nor OJUKWU!

Igboid and pazienza come and see. Had it been Zik partnered with Awo, Southern Nigeria for form Federal Govt. Chei Zik you and this One Nigeria really ruined us.

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. D actualization of biafra doesn't automatically mean dt everything wld start working fine. Look @ South Sudan nw. Dey seceded & yet till 2day, dey r still fighting, pple r dying, children r starving in d war btw d president & his vice. Things r worse nw dan b4 dey seceded. Leaving Nigeria wt out ample preparation wld b akin 2 jumping 4rm d frying pan in2 d fire.

Bujumbura:
The Old man couldn't advocate for fiscal federalism

He already did in his previous interview. Try to keep up

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. NCNC was very popular in Lagos and some other western provinces until the grand ethnocentric crosscarpeting ochestrated by Awolowo

bonechamberlain:
zik really made a great mistake, he Carried one Nigeria on his head more than even Lord luggard.
Maitama sule doesn't want Nigeria to break because he wants to share the resources of the north with others. nonsense talk.

People keep talking about how Scotland voted to stay with Britain, how there is E.U and co, but they forget that despite the quest to breakaway there is mass prosperity and development in those areas, people voted to stay or to unite because they saw reasons to stay and they were given the opportunity to decide.

What is the reason to stay as a united Nigeria, let the government give the citizens the chance to decide whether to stay or not.

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

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.


Nb
If only I had become Nigeria President.

I am not doubting the ethnocentric nature of Awolowo. But I still find it difficult to understand why zik was so interested in one Nigeria, he took it to another level.

Yea

Zik grew through the ranks from Nigerian Youth Movement NYM under the tutledge of Herbert Macaulay and co who were core true Nationalists, the likes of Awolowo and Ahmadu bello are just regional opportunist who catched in on Ziks Nationalistic weaknessses to destroy gains of the earlier nationalists.

But today the Igbos have learnt frm Ziks mistake

I hope my brother's from the East can read that statement clearly without bias. Igbo's were the first to ethnic group to form an alliance with the north and not the West has our Eastern brother's will want younger generation to believe.

When you have done that, I am giving you a privileged to tell the whole Nigeria what you doing to keep Nigeria in good shape.

Go and read your history properly

Zik won Elections in the field. Mr. Man while Awo intrduced palace coup. Why didn't Awo defeat Zik in the pools? But went behind to lure Yoruba NCNC members to AG
