I know I will probably get attacked here but why are the Igbos now suddenly asking for Biafra and Restructuring after the GEJ Administration that favoured them with appointments etc. It is known Yoruba's were the first set of people to clamour for Restructuring.

They never asked for this during GEJ era, it is now that Buhari's administration is not really favouring them they are now clamouring for Restructuring and Biafra.

Not that restructuring is not the answer but why are they suddenly clamouring for it now?

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.

all this people should just shut it,none of this request can be granted through executive order except by legislation, so elect people with such view as member of houses from top to bottom, then we move from there.

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.

[b] Funny clowns. Boycott the 2019, who cares? You 'restructure whiners' or whatever you called yourselves are funny and you think you are smart. When your silly incompetent brother was the president, you didn't shout restructure because the status-quo at that time was very good, you clowns benefited from it. The north was shortchanged and nobody said anything about the gentleman's agreement in place(a northerner completing yar'adua's term), instead we saw how you hypocrites supported the incompetent man in 2011. Nobody never forgets. Even when that old ugly man(obasanjo) was the president, nobody from the south said anything about restructuring, and now everybody thinks they are smart. Atiku can say whatever he wants and tell you whatever you guys wanna hear, but an average northerner knows why Atiku is screaming about 'restructuring'. And that man(atiku) is not influential here, he and his words don't influence anybody in the north.

Nigeria WON'T be restructured, and you fellas can do you worse. If you want a restructured Nigeria, then you have to wait when you are the majority in the NA.


And if Nigeria should be restructured, it will definitely be at our terms, that's when we feel like doing so. You can't blackmail the north with your silly threats. We know were we stand and we know why ya' hypocrites are shouting 'restructure Nigeria'.
[/b]
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.

[s]Incorrect
Jonathan started the polarisation
1. In 2012, less than 1 year aftér winning a popular base his core support regions decided to alienate others
This is the link on NL
https://www.nairaland.com/874446/seast-ssouth-middle-belt-form
2. In 2014 Jonathan started a strategy of campaigning in churches
3. Patience as first lady said the South was different from the North and insulted the North. How would people from the North campaign for him?
4. At the National Conference, Muslims said they were under-represented, Jonathan said he would do something about it. He did not
5.When Asari Dokubo threatened that the core North would never rule again, Jonathan did nothing



How?



Shiites were killed by Jonathan too, although we have videos of Generals begging them to leave the road to enable the convoy of Buratai (Buhari COAS) to pass but we did not see them so threaten Minimah (Jonathan COAS). Pls explain your sudden love for the lives of Shias


What is peaceful in burning Dangote trucks in Onitsha
Or that does not matter?


And Jonathan treated them with love?
Do you remember when Jonathan unleashed attack on BBOG through a staged counter protest on same day in Abuja
Just before 2015 election, OPC under Ganiyu Adam, an ally of Jonathan and the blackshirted militants stationed by Jonathan at 7UP went round Lagos, demolishing posters of opposition party and harassing innocent people


We have read your half truths and outright falsehood and deliberately selective recall of events

omoharry:
That was well ..but please always have it in mind that there are two set of yorubas' and their stand toward restructuring .The AFENERE'S had always supported restructuring which they stood by, that was why they supported GEJ, not because they consider him better than Buhari but because he was able to give restructuring a chance but the Tinubu faction who were once pro-restructuring got greedy and rejected it because of their greed for power, thinking they would partner with the north(who are Anti-restructuring) to marginalized the rest of the south for their selfish and self centered benefit..but Karma is a bitch isn't it?now their oga is back with his tail in between his legs to join the train of restructuring.. so please always remember that it was only the APC Yorubas/Tinubus followers that rejected restructuring and not the entire ethnic group.

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

Buhari's apc government has divided Nigerians along religious, tribal and political lines the most than any other government in the history of Nigeria. His acts ever since coming into government has created panic, insecurity and uncertainties not only to the citizens but to the international communities alike. Is it his selection of members of his government being from a particular region, tribe or religious beliefs or his 5% to 97% statement? Is it his appointments reflecting his ethnic bias or his loopsided fight against corruption targeted mostly at the southern part of the country? Did we not witnesses his disdain for the minority shitte Muslims which under his watch thousands were killed including children and women? Something not seen or heard off even in war like situations? Have we not seen his undemocratic response to peaceful protests from IPOB, #freezarky to BBOG, clamping down on them and hounding them like dogs and baboons in a jungle?

Yet people foolishly ask questions on why are the voices for secession, referendum, restructuring, zoning and all other applications to break up this fraudulent contraception is louder than ever? Well incase you missed the memo! Read this post again angry
I voted for him but I was appalled by his appointments. The guy is an unrepentant and stiffnecked bigot. He is beyond redemption.

Will you shut up, fine MASSOB has been in existence since Obasanjo days but never has this country heard the loud noise of Biafra like this in Buhari Administration since 1966 when Biafra was declared.

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!

At this point, I believe our mind is made up on leaving Nigeria also known as zoo or the biblical Egypt. Although we may consider staying back if the acclaimed owners of Nigeria I.e the backward a.b.okis and their supporters and slaves, are smart enough to make restructuring attractive to all constituent parts and for every constituent part to control their destiny and progress, then we may consider staying back but anything else is BULSHIT & WE WONT TAKE IT!

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.

Finally, news flash IPOB actually helped Buhari win the presidency as they boycotted the election due to it not being a biafran election. The instructed their listeners and followers, which we know is a high percentage, to avoid voting that year. Hell even Nnamdi Kanu you all hate actually predicted that Buhari would win. Rather than always,looking for who to blame for your party uselessness despite it being 2 years already and you should have done something by now, I suggest bow that your head down and thank IPOB for assisting una in the low turn out in SE and some areas of SS in 2015 election.

What these guys are really saying is this: Divide this country so we can further pillage and rampage these fools. Then when we do, WHO CAN STOP US?

One question ppl of the SE should ask themselves : Why isnt any high ranking official or billionaire from the SE pushing for this? They know whats up.


I tell you that Oil is a curse I wish we never found it. Its is blessing and a (bigger) curse. It made us lazy and conniving.



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.

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, wink) 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.

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.

Those in the know, know the consequences hence you dont see any ppl being it in industry or government backing these claims. Just look at Britain. They should Brexit, Brexit, now they are like what have we done.

nagoma:


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:
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, wink) 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.

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. The conversation has to change.

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.
