I know Pretoria and Soweto well and I know how these dudes roll.

These Zulu and Xhosa really screwed up everything
Pretoria is the cleanest city in Gauteng apart from areas where dirty/unhygienic west africans are.the city has been under black management for over two decades strong,as for Soweto well...SOWETO was built from the ground up by the very same people whom you claim have have "screwed" it up and it has some of the wealthiest burbs in SA

Anyway.I hear that the health of the old clueless,good-for-nothing Buhari is deteriorating,shouldn't that be your main concern right nowhuh ??

Igbo is over 39 million and these small countries IE Singapore, Luxembourg, Finland ,Iceland Georgia etc aren't even up to 10 million yet they are doing well

People like you are the reason igbos are accused of not knowing what they want.

"Ethnicity is all about how a person was raised: what they ate/drank, the music they listened/danced to, the language they spoke, their religion, their politics, type clothing worn, type housing lived in, etc.

A tribe is a group of people, usually related, made up of bands. Bands are the smallest social group after a family. A tribe is all of the same ethnicity."

Let me lecture you


A tribe is viewed, developmentally or historically, as a social group existing before the development of, or outside, states. A tribe is a group of distinct people, dependent on their land for their livelihood, who are largely self-sufficient, and not integrated into the national society. I

An ethnic group or ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other based on similarities, such as common ancestral, language, social, cultural or national experiences.[1][2] Unlike other social groups (wealth, age, hobbies), ethnicity is often an inherited status based on the society in which one lives. In some cases, it can be adopted if a person moves into another society. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, origin myth, history, homeland, language or dialect, symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, art, and physical appearance.


Can you say thank you sir ?

See lecturer, if you check what I wrote is in quotes, meaning I copied it. Do yourself a favour and lecture yourself on how not to plagiarise Wikipedia.

@bolded, I now understand why you said Igbo is not a tribe.

Interesting topic.
Come what may, Igbo self determination is non negotiable.
There is no alternative to it. It's a must and anyone who thinks otherwise has only one option. cool

* Of course, like minded non Igbo groups in Akwa Cross area are always welcomed to the party.

You will never get your Bia-fraud republic unless you are ready to start another war. A war that you cannot win as you have no allies. You IBOBs gave us all a good laugh last Friday when you trooped out en mass to protest for Trump in hope that he will notice you grin. Forget Biafra because till your dying breath you will be a Nigerian. Silly IPOB yoot grin

Your failed country is a joke of the entire Africa.
Your suffering is only just starting.

If you think you are going to drag Ndiigbo alongside you, then you must be dreaming.
The world in 21st century isn't same as 20th century. There are no more Bakassis to give away, once more, your genocidal activities will not receive support from the world.
You won't survive a second war. You better becareful what you wish for.

Good. At least we can both agree that Biafra will be realized only by defeating Nigeria in a war abi? This Biafran agitation has no support from any entity of consequence, Or you think one rouge radio station broadcasting obscenities and a few street protests are enough to draw the attention of the world to your secessionist delusions? Very laughable grin

Biafra has the support of the Igbo grassroots.
It's a real nation people are ready to die for without being paid a dime, something your failed country can never boast of.

No one is interested in war with Arewa-Oduanistans, rational beings would even wonder why Arewa-Oduanistans would want to go to war to enforce co existence with the very same people they loathe and accuse Of attracting international image battery to them.
If this isn't a form of psychosis, I don't know what else to call it.

Nobody wants to go to war for any reason. War is no tea party, but if an attempt at secession is made, all nation states resort to force to prevent any diminution of her territory. Dont for once fool yourselves any foreign government will come to your aid once you declear a Biafran state

And you fool yourself thinking Britain, USSR( Russia) will come to your aid again to commit genocide in Biafra like they did in 1967-70? How have they helped you in your Boko haram fight so far?
And would you have to give away the entire Cross River to Cameroon this time around to secure their support? Remember that Ahijo the Fulani Man is nolonger in charge in Cameroon.
Or you think you are going to win Biafrans without those nations backing your genocidal intents?

By the way, Nigeria is not a nation. Your nation is Yoruba or Arewa-Oduanistan, mine is Igbo/Biafra, Nigeria is a colonial entity.

Biafra, has turned out to be that proverbial bee that has perches at the Nigeria's scrotum. Allow the bee,it stings the hell out of the scrotum and kill the bee, it hurts the scrotum. This is the position of Biafra . Orchestrated by the "kid " in the block , Nnamdi Kanu. Biafra also has presented a case how the negroid or black man will govern himself without resorting to brute. Some analyst say that Biafra will display the level of logicality in the average Blackman's mind.

Nigeria noted to be the biggest black country globally, Biafra will present to the global community how the Blackman reasons either with his gun or with his brains. And the Blackman has sufficiently demonstrated to the world that he prefers reasoning with latter than the former. " We will kill everything that walks " quoted Benjamin Adekunle, during the first Biafra war about half a century ago. And he did exactly that, killed many and he was given badge if honours, decorated and a Street named after him in Lagos. Though he later died a sad and unfulfilled man. That's how the Blackman has come to reason.

Then came Nnamdi Kanu,ignored by former adminstration and made popular and a legend by present administration. An international report but it this way.

"Until recently, Kanu was politely ignored  by the outside world. To many Igbos, he was  at best an expat dreamer, at worst a rabble- rousing shock jock. Then, after years in which nobody took him seriously, the Nigerian  government did just that. During a visit to Nigeria 15 months ago, he was arrested by its feared Department of State Security at a hotel in Lagos," The Telegraph London

This new emergence of Biafra ( not as if the ideology died, it didn't die ) can be attributed to a culmination of isolationist acts Nigeria has dished (full course) to the Igbo which can be seen from political , infrastructural to and otherwise. Today's Biafrans must have studied the methodology that their fathers used and improved on it. And this methods seems to be working and the world have taken notice of it.

"Angered by the massacre of tens of thousands of Igbos in the Muslim-dominated north,  Biafra formed its own army, produced its own currency, and declared independence.  The Igbos, who often describe themselves as the ‘Jews of Africa’, wanted their own Israel. They got something closer to holocaust." The Telegraph London

In the words of international observer ,Colin Freeman he captured the essence of Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu road to legend and martyrdom. Presently even deified by the Nigeria government,he said

"It has been nearly 50 years since Biafra’s bitter independence struggle, the inspiration for  Frederick Forsyth’s bestselling The Dogs of War. Now a south London DJ  currently imprisoned in Nigeria has taken up the battle, and Biafrans are once again fighting  – and dying – for the dream of their own country"


The new found love for Biafra by the people of Igbo descent and their southern cousin in Nigeria Delta States have reached a crescendo that the Nigerians federal government can't afford to ignore and at the same time must find a lasting solution. The lasting solution has always been within their grips but they prefer looking for it on the mountain top. A clear case of not thinking outside the box. One of the characteristics of the African leadership. Just like the carpenter where every problem can be solved with a hammer the African government solves everything with brute and force. There can be a clear departure from this and the Biafra issue can be solved seamlessly and simply via economic means .

Well, rumours have been peddled that the Nigerian government is thinking of of allowing the five Igbo states go, though not ascertained . But, if the this is to be true! Then it will be a mistake. The Igbo are knowns to have this "igwe bu Ike mentality " a principle of carry your brother along. I don't think that the anioma man will be okay staying in his own or comfortable with another tribe rather than his own siblings the Igbo. The same goes with the Rivers state Igbo. So the solution isn't this. Nigeria as a country has solutions and there is no need to be petrified or develop phobia for Biafra .

Biafra is hinged on our ability as a race to solve our internal problem maturedly. Though, we must agreed that African countries with exception of Ethiopia are white man creations. We lacked the capacity then to either form our countries or govern ourselves . We were created and colonised by the whites but today Nigeria must use this biafr to demonstrate that African man has evolved. Nigeria must demonstrate that African man can solve some political issues without killing. Nigeria must demonstrate that Biafra agitation can be solved via dialogue and not on battle Field. The whole world is looking at Nigeria. The whole world is asking , why is the Blackman like this ? Nigeria shouldn't give the world the answers they want.

Economic model that can be used to settle these agitation is simple. It boils down to what has been said all these while. Regionalism! It's as simple as that. Let the Igbo and the whole Igbo speaking tribes come together and have their region where a greater degree if autonomy is given to them. Something akin to confederation or full federation. They will decide in their own type of democratic process, their own flag, anthem, even police . The education and judiciary system can be decided by the region. They will run their own internal affairs to a greater degree and pay a stipend to government at centre but will use Nigerian passport and be defended by the Nigerian army. Most of the united countries of the world like the UAE, USA, Canada and even Malaysia run this system. They allow the regions to take their decision and have their internal control mechanism intact. This same goes to every region . Regions should be created according to cultural and ideological beliefs. Then make the centre very weak. The presidency should be rotated and also made powerless . The role of the presidency should be ceremonial while power rest on the region. The presidency ,though ceremonial must be rotated amongst the few regions.

This would have been the best bet for the country ,but will the love of oil and the docility if the North allow the country to take this common sense approach? Time will tell.

Another harsh option is dissolution. It takes guts to do this but shows maturity. The country can have a bilateral trade agreement between the seceding state. The Biafra can be a client state of Nigeria the way Costa Rica is to USA and Hong Kong to China or Gilbertar to Britain. An arrangement if this kind can be put in place . Agreement will be in visa systems, work and business permits and others. When such agreement are made, there is no need to fret over the issue of Biafra. Because, t just simply means a change of name but not a change of brotherhood or friendship. The agitating and the administrating parties must also look at this options. Ireland isn't a part of the Britain doesn't make Irish enemies bro English. They still maintain that oneness and brotherliness. Nigeria must learn from their colonial masters .


The Biafra issue, to me isn't what should give Nigeria headache unless she sees it as so. There is always a way out of seemingly quagmire only if people can look within and factor a way out. The emergence of Biafra or not shouldn't be seen as a do or die venture. But should be see as an evolutionary trend in the way Blackman reasons. He(Biafran) wants to define his destiny and this must be encouraged. One of the argument that the Biafrans are putting is to redraw the map of Africa that was drawn for African without their consent. And a cursory look at this narrative, they shouldn't be faulted but negotiate



Hello Nigerian pls I'm begging you for Christ sake endeavor to read this article, I have being thinking of this for the past 6months now I see a person who think similarly... I love ibos I'm a Yoruba boy,I have them as friends even though they are always combactive, slightly stubborn they are Good people.. I always be Nigeria deamalgamate is the solution which is it or follow what he said that is our first step to change.. Thousands of unemployed graduate and you see an uneducated or educated but ignorant Hausa man having all the post,somebody tell me how can Nigeria be develop? to cut it short great kudos sir..
