bakynes: Several parts of the country (including the Igbos) have clamored for restructuring at some point or the other. It is not a new call at all. It has been called several things e.g fiscal federalism, resource control, right to self-determination etc They all mean one and the same thing and the objective is to do away with a heavily centralized government that has not brought rapid development since it's introduction. |

OlujobaSamuel: The problem is that even the elite knows it that the only solution to a better and advance of that country is to divide it or restructure it but they won't admit it because There may not be business as usual for them. Believe it or not but Nigeria will be the same or even worst in 50yrs to come if they don't restructure or divide it,there's no single person that's willing to sacrifice anything for Nigeria, Everyman to his pocket as it is now. Divide divide divide divide is all we need,we don't need Americans or British for approval all we need is to call a referendum. 1 Like |

fiizznation:You have no idea. Keep blustering. I am for the unity of this nation but the terms of engagement has to be redefined. Does it really matter who calls for restructuring? Why doesn't the North call for it? Because they propose to be there for eight years? Is that it? Eight years(and many future octogenaric slots) compared to the eternal destiny of this nation is like a drop of water in a sea. It would not be on your terms. The contradiction in the system has not gotten to tipping point yet. Once it gets to that point, not you or any of the powerbrokers in the North or anywhere else in this country can stem the tide. We have overgrown the current arrangement. The country wants to grow but it cannot do so because of the structural socio - political limitations. But it would not continue this way. Definitely not on your terms. Maybe on your terms for just a short while but not forever. What are you guys afraid of. It's fear. You guys are afraid of something unnameable. What breaks my heart about you guys in the North is that you just want power for power sake. You do not want power so that you can turn Nigeria into Dubai or Qatar but just so you can spite the rest of the nation and say 'I got the power. Do your worst'. It's very childish to me. As for the Igbos they are like a badly treated wife who keeps threatening her husband with divorce but deep inside her what she really wants is for her husband to treat her well. One thing I know is that the glue that holds this country together is called Nigeria. The day the glue runs dry this country will not split into two or three as some naively think. It would splinter into so many useless pieces like the shards of broken pottery. 3 Likes |

omoharry: It is Afenifere not AFENERE, thanks for the clarification, as an Igbo I feel our people need to know the difference and not lump all the Yorubas in one political basket. The Afenifere group have remained consistent and resolute since even the Abacha era on their demand for restructuring, they warned Yorubas against voting Buhari because they knew he was not going to implement the outcome of the national conference which called for restructuring but Tinubu and his group controlled the propaganda machinery in alliance with Obama 1 Like 1 Share |

bakynes:Take a chill pill & stop pouring smelly saliva all over the thread. I was in Aba back then during OBJ era & MASSOB/Biafra was so popular then that the movement used to block roads with their crowd. The difference was that they were far removed from the levers of power in Abuja & Lagos, and internet wast'nt there to give them the needed awareness, but today, millions of Igbos & others of like minds both within & outside Nigeria have coalesced into one formidable force that can no longer be ignored! NIGERIA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!! |

Josmila:Exactly. It's a scam. Before they know some knaves will quickly set up their hegemony over the new biafra. After the euphoria has evaporated the various groups will start clamouring for self determination until the wind blows away everything and nothing is left in their hands but a wasted dream. |

MrEverest: We are tired of all this shakara, the men and women of Biafra should stop all these empty threats and do the following: 1. Withdraw from Abuja all Ministers , senators and Reps who are Igbos. 2. Withdraw all police,Military, para- military and federal civil servants that are Igbos. 3. Withdraw all IPob students in all federal institutions . 4. Let all iPob traders in Alaba Market and in all Markets in lagos, in Ibadan, in Kano, in Kaduna , in Abuja and in Port Harcourt and in all parts of Nigeria close shop and move to the SE. 5. Let all those excellent sportsmen and women that are representing Nigeria withdraw and move to Enugu. 6. Let all the judges including the CJN and all academics withdraw their services and move eastwards 7. Let everybody who is iPob send back their green passport to the federal passport office. If you can carry out only these 7 activities very well, then we will begin to think you are serious and we may even sit and discuss the matter. If you cannot do these 7 activities then you are not serious. If You just want to continue to be a nuisance and irritating blackmailers with no balls, you should just shut up and learn to be good citizens of Nigeria , but those fat women can continue the weekly jogging to reduce all the fat I see on display. |

PBundles: Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonzo, Venezuela’s oil minister in the early 1960s and one of the founders of OPEC, was the first to call attention to the oil curse. Oil, he said, was not black gold; it was the devil’s excrement. Please read the article on this link. Very insightful analysis. http://foreignpolicy.com/2009/08/22/the-devils-excrement/ Those clamouring for biafra do not understand the psychology of the blackman. They do not know how childishly selfish and spiritually stunted he is. They think once Biafra is declared they'd have their eldorado. They would not. It would be the beginning of a tragic nightmare. Sometimes I perversely wish their desires come to fruition just so I can laugh at their folly. I understand their aspirations but disintegration ain't the solution. It's just a sweet illusion, devil's water, drawing them into a desert where the demons of tribalism, ethnic politics, corruption, incompetence, greed and the fiends on whole train of the spiritual dysfunction of the black man would resurrect before their very eyes to haunt and relentlessly terrorise their souls. |

BetaThings: What does all these your posting And saying have to do with the ineptitude of the buhari led government? All these you say GeJ did, your demi god has and is still doing worse! I thought the idea was change? So how come your change government is caught in the same web as the "clueless" GEJ government? Look not matter how bad the last government was this present administration is worse, that is why we see all these agitation and demonstration from the populace asking for the change from what used to be the norm in the past. Therefore hold your head in shame as your analysis show Apc is no different from pdp! Cheers. |

No need to add a word, spot on and couldnt agree more. Im from the SE, though Im not sure if I would be accepted since my dad is IKA igbo ( his parents were actually Edo/Ibo and Yoruba/Ibo), whilst on my mom side (Asaba/Ibo=grandad, mixed hausa/ibo=grandmother) is a mix. You would be surprised the discussions ive heard on whether or not they 'belong' or not. Thing is if this separation comes it will be like animal farm ( is that why Kanu coined the term zoo, ) What will happen is the communities where the oil truly comes from will say hey, we should get the lion share. What do you do with Warri, are they ibos? Rivers state what about the minorities. This will get messy and we all know what the clamor is for; OIL. In some ways I also think you know what, simply divide that country and let everyone that wants to go there way go, but in my heart I know that power is in the numbers and not in the small pieces. Here we go again,making the blackman look foolish in eyes of the public. I hate the black liquid, truly. Mujtahida: |

PBundles:Even during the war Cross rivers and Ogoja regions pulled out of Biafra. Your background is rich. That's why you come across as objective and detribalised. People who grew up on airforce, naval Base or army barracks are like that too unlike those who are steeped in the mire of tribalism. Our tribalism is not even the positive kind. Upon all do you know Goodluck did nothing, I mean nothing for his people infrastructure wise? I am from the middle belt, grew up some on the airforce Base. It's time we moved this country forward.

Pleased to make you acquaintance and yes, because I have blood from all the major regions I couldnt be tribal even if I wanted to. But I have a question which Im hoping you could assist me on. I have met several ppl from the middle belt in my dealings overseas. Be it in the US or Europe, when I speak to them its occurred to me that they are extremely neutral in a very pleasant way, yet and here it comes, in my opinion and also judging from things they mentioned, its probably one of the most forgotten areas. It has always intrigued me and I have always found it to be very pleasant their take on Nigeria. Why is this, please shed some light on this. Mujtahida: |
