OrestesDante:
commenters above and below me dey vex. .... My fellow Igbos be like:

nawtyme:

Under Obasanjo, the militants were killed, Asari was imprisoned when he came for a second peace talk with Obasanjo, did they go about killing civilians and bombing churches?
When Mohammed Yusuf was killed did it have any business with Christians or churches?
What were they fighting for at his time of arrest ; abolishing western education. What were the militants fighting for; the same injustice that is causing the agitation for Biafra.

abescom:
What do they always mean by this marginalisation nonsense. Did an igboman come out for presidency and he was stopped?

Igbo will not agree, they never do, but they themselves are their own problem. They have made enemies with people who ought to support them and then go around shouting "they hate us".

If at every opportunity you regard me as your enemy, do you then have any right to complain when and if I refuse to support you for something for you need my help for?

Also, take 2003 for instance, Igbos had a golden chance to oust OBJ but were too greedy and to disunited. Who supported Orji? How many Igbos voted for him?

Igbos need to as soon as possible make up their minds. Do they want to be seen as part of one Nigeria or do they want to go? Do they want to keep seeing the yoruba as enemy or an ally that will be useful to them? Do they want to be united in their bid to rule the country ( which to be honest is fair enough) or not?

Address all this and your problems will be solved.

Mynd44:

When I hear people say the North used terrorism for political advantage I always say perhaps a few did but that few does not represent a double figure percential because who has lost more due to boko haram?

Same way when people try to tie it to Islam. I ask then to count how many Muslims have died as a result of boko haram compared to every other religion combined

well if it disturbs a large portion of the nation (I.e if more than 60% of the citizens find the protest unreasonable) they would be shot at..!


if just like Nigerians protesting in South Africa

Handsomecole:
I have always said it the only difference between these Biafran agitators and Boko-Haram is the life that they don't take. But they are similar to Boko Haram, they are so vulgar, insulting, arrogant and temperamental violent in nature.

You can hardly engage any one of them in an intellectual discussion, they must insult and use violent languages. It's the more reason I just loathe the whole Biafran idea, just like their mentor Nnamdi Kanu, thank God the law has clipped his flapping wings and running mouth. Most of them are bunch of illiterates it's more reason they hardly make any successful English sentence devoid of errors.
If you doubt me just follow how they will quote this my comment.

ayindejimmy:


The PDP led federal government allowed a barbaric, intolerable, psychotic, egomaniac savage to assume the leadership of BH by killing, without due process, their former leader and even his innocent father in law. Since then, everything when out of control to a point of no return.
What's really causing the BH war is the abject poverty in the north. If majority of the northern population are gainfully engaged and informated the BH terrorists will find it hard to hypnotised them with erroneous religious indoctrinations

Everyone was fighting for what they believed in.

JohnXcel:
Any one who has observed will see there's a form of Mass Delusion among these people.

Even the few one's that try to be reasonable among them are insulted out of their midst (well as we've come to know on Nairaland, that's their MO).

Anyways, [b]"give them their Biafra"...[b]

Time has a voice...

ISKANDER8TH:

Like i keep saying, agitation and seccession won't solve the igbo problem.Restrucructuring the nation is the best bet,only two category of people are in support of breakup (1)The corrupt southerners who want to use breakup to evade judgement (2)The gullibles and illiterates who knws nothing abt governance.
The Igbos are better off in Nigeria

“How did Boko Haram start?
We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.
“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.
“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today. You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.
“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished. They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.

Limitless72:



That's not what we are trying to iron out here
The matter on ground is either restructuring or Biafra...
And u're busy saying ken Nnamani is one of the most respected...

GavelSlam:
They keep thinking the north use Boko Haram.

Is this also the case in Cameroun and other countries with insurgency?

Nigerians love conspiracies so much that after they invent them they believe them like a religion.

fernandoc:
Why won't he walk out. After eating money with hopes that his opinion matters.

nawtyme:

I have a few questions for you.
1.How did boko haram start?
2. Who, where and what were their initial targets?
3. What was the level of support they received from the Northerners and their elites initially before things went south?
4. When the former administration tried to crush them what was the response of the Northern elites including those who said "The fight against Boko Haram is Anti-north" and the refusal to extend the state of emergency despite agreeing to leave the governor in charge?
What ever we are seeing now is an after effect of honest answers to the questions I asked.
For example, few years ago, there was a terror sect in Abia state operating mainly around Ngwa axis. . They kidnapped civilians and even police men, killed many and took ransom for others. When the military came into Abia state, how many weeks did they need to kill osisikankwu? This is because they received plenty of cooperation from locals. It was a concerted effort to flush out the bad eggs from the community.
When a wound is left to foster, it turns to a sore and in the end, the leg is chopped off.
