And u want to steal ur own too in the name of so called referendum because u feel the British did so. Ur dreaming, if u don't have real borders but waiting for a referendum before u decide ur boundary, then I think u people are not yet serious or maybe u all rr just playing with this agitation. I have never seen a self-determination group in my life without well defined boundary except Ipob. There are hundreds of sessionist groups around the world, and they know their boundary, they are not waiting for a referendum to decide boundary or more land, instead they are simply waiting for a referendum for there people in their well defined territory to either say Yes or No

You cant be a beneficiary of fraud and also be telling people how to go about self determination. If you are concerned about borders, you have to tell us the border that existed before Lugard created Nigeria. Usiing your logic, since there were none, it means Nigeria is illegal. So call for the disintegration of Nigeria first as Biafra is yet to exist. If you cannot call for the disintegration of Nigeria based on your logic of pre-existing borders, then you have no bases to do the same with Biafra. Call out the fraud that made you Nigerian first then you can talk about Biafra that is yet to exist.

I am a Nigerian. Almost all countries in Africa were a creation of colonisation and most of them leave in peace with many tribes in their country. So stop acting like the case of Nigeria is different. It is Biafra that is the fraud, because it never existed before Nigeria as most of u Biafra fraudsters claim. If u don't have border, then u can't lay claim to anything. Deal with it or u people trigger a war

Oh really? Then you have prove you belive the above by supporting the disintegration of Nigeria because it was with stolen lands that the British created it.

Restricting your territory to just the Five core Ibo states and Biafra aint looking like the land of the rising sun no more, huh? You want something with access to the sea, maybe a little crude Oil and like another 800sq miles to accommodate your 40-50million strong population and all will be right in South Eastern heaven, yes?

Well, sorry, thats not how it works. Im sure, though, that if you ask for just those 5 states and nothing more Nigeria will gladly acquiesce to your wish.

The assumption is that such a country will be left alone to enjoy in peace while its neighbours suffer. That is supreme foolishness. Such a country will spend it's money on defence not development.

Well you may have to go back in history and check, Biafra has never been about being Igbo. As I say all the time, the last president of Biafra, General Philip Effiong was not an Igbo man. The word Biafra is not even an Igbo word.

If anything, Biafra is a 'lower Niger' thing. While there may be people who do not buy the idea of Biafra, a referendum will separate the wheat from the chaff.

Even if Biafra was just about Igbos, it is not for Nigeria to say who is Igbo by state creation. The original map of Igbo land drawn by British colonialists included the Igbos of the lower Benue, the Western Igbos or Anioma and the Southern Igbos which includes much of the Igbo/Igboids of present day Rivers state including the Ikwerres of Portharcourt. The same colonialists drew the map of Nigeria. If Igbos/Igboids/indigenous Igbo speaking people were all to secede, they would be fine.


Biafra is not about being Igbo same as Nigeria is not about being Yoruba

This is the exact truth I am always trying to tell this people, but they care less to understand....

I know this so called Niger deltan very well....the only tin that makes them feel united is just because they are been bound by an order and also fighting a common entity Nigeria.

Split Nigeria today and you will have another south Sudan

South Sudan will be child's play if the authority of the Nigerian government breaks down in the nigerdelta. Tell me, what is keeping the Ijaws from attacking the Itsekiris, what is stopping the Ijaws from invading Aladja and what is stopping the Ijaws from attacking the Binis in Gelegele?
It is the Authority of the Federal Government.

How are you a Nigerian? You stole the name Lugards wife came up with and claimed it as your own, you stole the country Lugard created and claimed it as your own. You are stealing other peoples inventions and shamelessly fronting it as your own.

But when you see people like Ojukwu, Kanu and Uwazuruike and others coming up with their own names and trying to create their own countries you get angry because you cant to do what they are doing.

So you have no choice but to do what all slaves do, you go back to answering the name your white slave master imposed on you.
