I have been a locker on Nairaland for years but I cannot be quiet anymore because I and millions of others might lose our jobs in Port Harcourt with the momentum seen with IPOB/Biafra restoration since Nnamdi Kanu release. I never believed for a while that IPOB could ever penetrate South South, particularly Rivers state. I work here as an oil worker and I'll be honest with you all: IPOB/Biafra has taken over Rivers state particularly Port Harcourt...everywhere you go its IPOB. Anyone telling you that IPOB/Biafra is a SE/Igbo affair is deceiving you. We here on gorund know what's happening here. It's not just Igbos, it's Ikwerre, Urhobo, Ishekiri, Annang, Ibibio, you name it!

As a concern citizen, I think Federal government should as a matter of emergency move to counteract Nnamdi Kanu before this gets out of hand because after May 30th, things will never be the same with Nigeria. You cannot stop this movement by force, anyone advising you to use force is deceiving you. The people following Nnamdi Kanu are not fools; this people, as with us know that Nigeria is a failure especially with the marginalization of SE, and some areas with SS. This is not the time to debate on if the fault is from the leaders of SE or SS, no, rather time for the Federal government to act immediately by implementing these measures below to pacify and make these young men abandon Kanu.

Federal government must do these:

1. Declare May 30th, Biafra Memorial Day and ask the Senate to pass it as a law that every May 30th will be a public holiday. On this May 30th, acting President Osinbanjo will lead the commemoration of all Biafran fallen heroes and heroines, by laying a wreath at the National Square Abuja in their memory. Celebrate it like we do with Nigeria Airforces Remembrance Day. Biafran Fallen Heroes and Heroines are human too like their Nigerian counterpart.
2. A committee should be set up by the Presidential Executive Council to go to SE and fact-find on all federal roads that need repair, expansion, and construction of new roads where needed.
3. All seaports and Riverport in SS and SE; Port Harcourt, Onne, Calabar, Warri and Onitsha should be reopened, funded and allowed to function to full capacity without interference.
4. All International Airports in SE and SS; Port Harcourt, Calabar, Enugu and Asaba should be funded and allowed to function to full international airport standard like Lagos and Abuja.
5. Earmark funds to support local manufacturers in Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi.
6. Most importantly, restructure the oil and gas industry, where states will be allowed to managed their oil and gas resource, and pay tax to the center.
7. Fix the lopsided appointments by Buhari, and ensure that SE, SW, SS, NC, NW, and NE are evenly represented.
8. Do away with quota system in our educational system, and let students who score high marks reap the benefits of their labor.
9. Disarm Fulani and restrict their movements to the North only.
10. All government offices and agencies must have at least one office in Enugu, Calabar or Port Harcourt.
11. All foreign consulate and visa processing centers must have at least one office in Enugu, Calabar or Port Harcourt.
12. Assure them of a new Nigeria in the horizon, and things will be better, and more restructuring will be made in the coming months as more consultations are done.

I ASSURE YOU, MAJORITY OF SE AND SS will abandon Nnamdi Kanu within 48 hrs. These people actually prefer Nigeria than Biafra, so will work with Federal government on a reasonable arrangement and fulfillment of the conditions above. YOU CAN NEVER EVER WIN THIS BATTLE WITH IPOB WITH FORCE...NEVER! YOU MUST USE SENSE; THEIR AGITATION IS BASED ON SERIOUS MARGINALIZATION.

If igbos leave Lagos, nothing will happen...
Lagos is an economic hub, with or without igbos.. .

You're senseless oo... .i swear

missboss10:
You are speaking for yourself... Only a referendum would convince us.

wirinet:
Why May 30th? What makes may 30th special? Is that day Ojukwu,s, KANU or even the writer's birthday?
Why would Nigeria celebrate Biafran's remembrance day in Nigeria, with Nigeria's C-inC honouring biafran soldiers? Does that sound sane to you?




Why only South East? Is it only the SE that has bad roads? Most Federal roads in the SS, SW and even the north central are in deplorable state.


The ports is extremely complex, first Portharcourt port and One ports are not closed, it is just that they are not operating in uptimal capacity. The rivers leading to warri and Onitsha ports needs to be dredged before large container ships can berth there.
Having said the above government's running of ports is outdated nowadays. Most ports in industrialized nations are run by private companies, as governments have been known not to run ports efficiently. So the best solution to me will be a sort of private - public partnership with private companies running the ports.
Also ports should not be built in isolation but as part of a general economic policy. Which ports will specialize in exports and which will specialize in imports? The export ports must be built with the expected export products in mind. We cannot continue to build ports to import dumped goods from Asia into the country, that would be recipe for economic doom.

Bad idea. Most of the airports are economically unviable. The whole of the south east and south south does not require more than one standard international airport and one domestic airport. The expected traffic should be the main criteria for building airports and not politics.
The main transport infrastructure that should be build in the SE/SS and indeed throughout Nigeria should be rail. The masses use trains and not planes.

What do you mean by earmark? I hope you do not mean dash people money only to people of Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi.
Financing of businesses, be it manufacturing, agricultural or services is a prerogative of the banks, the CBN can only help through fiscal or monetary policies.


Ideal situation, but we have to physically restructure the federation first. It would lead to the collapse most states if implemented under this 36 state/ 774 local government structure.

Have to stop for now.

michael142:
So you think say Urhobo go join Biafra? I'm an Urhobo and I know for sure that no Urhobo man will want to join Biafra. I can see you don't like the Urhobos and that is why you didn't say anything about their opinion.

izospindle:
insults thats show you have no point......you dont even know what you want......you keep blaming other people for your problems.....think dude

gare:
Leave us the Urhobos out of your Biafra issue, I am not against you guys having your own country but can assure you guys that we don't want to go with you, we wish you guys all the best in your struggles.

gnykelly:
after claiming thier biafra millions of them will sought for yoruba visa just to survive.

fratermathy:
Can you imagine the insult? Adding Urhobo to Biafra? Oghene biko oo!

Since when has Urhobo become Igbo territory? When didn't the Op add Edo State? Or they have forgotten that Urhobo is an Edoid tribe? They even added Itsekiri forgetting that Itseke na Yoruba tribe.

Ignorant Mofos!

majekdom2:
don't believe what you read to make you feel good. Check around you... how many people live above 1000 Naira daily. These are the people you find mostly on social media, the ones that think Biafra is a reality. The OP claims PH is for Biafra.. I have barely seen a Shell/Total worker go on the street and agitate for Biafra. They may discuss with friends but I don't see any support. I see only IKOKU boys that sell spare parts. They live on average 200 to 300 daily.

GavelSlam:
Ibo man claiming Wale to deceive the gullible.

So an itshekiri man such as Oritshefemi would support Nnamdi ?

There is no such thing as major parts. If you dont know Delta State just shut it! Delta is only 30% Igbo. That's not even up to a half. Even the so-called Delta Igbo don't all support Biafra.

Oya take your 30% Delta NORTH! But never ever, in fact don't dare to ever include Delta South and Delta Central to Biafra. Like ever!

Urhoboland is in Delta Central and South. Itsekiri and Ijaw are in Delta South. All these groups have nothing in common with Igbo. We have never asked for Biafra or even a referendum. Why are you trying to force us into it? Is it by force to join Biafra? Dem tell una sey we nor get our own aspirations?

Make una warn unasefs o!

michael142:
Itsekiri and Urhobo are not parts of Biafra. Na just Asaba go join Baifra.

Adiola:
for all those spilling rubbish I think the op is right implement all these and watch nnamdi KANU a loner

raphieMontella:
Please replace all your "we" with " I " because you are clearly speaking for yourself.
I asked a simple question, do you live in the south?
When last did you visit here?

fratermathy:
Itsekiris recognise maternal origin. You are Itsekiri whether by paternal or maternal heritage.

To all the Biafrans deceiving themselves: The trio of Urhobo, Isoko and Itsekiri will always have more to do with Yorubas than with Igbos! You guys should leave us out of your deluded plans for Biafra. We wish you well but count us out.

Orue Ihwo!

chiraqDemon:
But my problem is, will biafrans be able to cope with the initial few years of hardship they will face if they get independence from naija? I mean things wont just fall in place on the first day. All the raods wont be tarred in the first 4 yrs and u wont just up and have constant electricity and a yankee like standard of life. So r they willing to cope or will another faction rise and want another president or country.
Tbh i live in an area that might be taken into biafra if this whole thing succeeds but i dont care. I dont care if im nigerian or biafran, as far as im living in a peaceful country without war and warplanes flying over my head then im ok with it.

fratermathy:
Na even everybody for Asaba dey interested. Don't be deceived. Many of them in Asaba shouting for Biafra are not even Deltans. Many of them are from Onitsha and they capitalise on the proximity to Asaba to propagate their delusions.

Apart from Asaba sef, you think Ukwuani go follow Biafra?

Instead of them to think of how to successfully harmonise all their Igboid groups into their Biafra first, they want to add dissimilar groups into it. Wetin concern Urhoboman with Biafra? Shuo ooo! See gbeghe o.
