I truly believe her gender is a challenge in her struggle. But if she can search for like minds and male counterparts, she will make more impact. I am aware Nnamdi Kanu came to pay visit to her or she was the one that visited him. Let her continue, I am proud of her efforts in any case.

First and foremost, in a country with a near-perfect justice system, where no one is ever treated less than another, tribalism and bigotry would not even thrive. And this is the basis of the problems we face as humans in our world. When my brother is not qualified for a job for instance and I give it to him over a qualified candidate, that is the beginning of tribalism. But in a system where such can never happen, then tribalism wouldn't ever exist.
that is what am saying, for instance look at the president appointees, is it not a definition of tribalism

Biafra or Niger Delta republic can't work if the duo aren't in partnership.

Ojukwu fought for his all alone, eventually he failed.

Adaka boro and others in present day Niger delta equally asked for fairness and justice, they all failed.

So what lesson has been learned? Lack of cooperation from both these guys.

What shud be the way forward? They shud partner in the struggle to break loose the contraption named Nigeria and thereafter live as separate entity if need be.

Ipob ideology is skewed in a way to allow for minorities to take cheap shots at them. I'm all for an Igboid groups country then any other group that wants to join can declare interest instead of NK lumping people that don't share any similarity with you in a country where you know they will always be scared of domination.

Well, that may be true about the over 80% of the area of the SS that was carried along by Ojukwu in the first Biafra but you failed to ask one question, were the people of that region engaged in robust discussion before he went ahead to include us in Biafra. That was not done and that is one of the reason why there is the mistrust among us. It should not be allowed to repeat itself again.
kingzizzy:
It is important to note that over 80% of the area people are now calling South/South used to be part of the Eastern Region that later seceded as Biafra. So when someone from some areas such as Portharcourt or Yenagoa starts saying 'why did you add me to Biafra', I say "you have been in Biafra before"


The time has come for all Southern Nigerians to accept that Northern Nigeria will never agree to restructuring.

Which leaves only 2 choices. The same two choices Ojukwu faced 50 years ago. Accept 'one Nigeria' as it is right now, under Northern control or secede and fight for your freedom

These are the only two choices in Nigeria. Restructuring is never happening in Nigeria.

So what do the minorities of Southern Nigeria do? They can accept to be slaves of the North or join hands with Igbos and get out of Nigeria. Niger Delta Republic for now is pipe dream

Ur ilks are the reason why others are stuck in the Bush. Which ogoni or ijaw man is currently happy with state of things in Nigeria where they dont create wealth but run to abuja every month end to share everything which doesn't translate to better standard of living? Can the ogonis or ijaws fight for equity, justice and fairness all alone against the Nigerian state and win? Abeg swerve.

In life, nobody is a minority. It is so wrong to classify people in that regard! Secondly, you do not need to be angry to express your view here.

Even if I want to agree with you, the only way out that is feasible now is to have a pact with Biafra first and exit Nigeria before we can stand on our own because if you think we can do it without Biafra, then I'm afraid I don't see the possibility.
Of course that was the crux of my last post. Have a pact/well_detailed agreement with IGBOs to get Biafra and move on.

That's logical enough. But most people involved in these struggles are too petty to toe that path.

Yes it is and that is why they say when the foundation is faulty, the house cannot stand and everything else will be so wrong. If at the formation of Nigeria, all these things were put into consideration, this country would not have been in this terrible mess where who ever rules can turn it and rape it as he likes. that is why at this crucial stage of a possible new beginning, justice should be the hallmark and not sentiments.

I do see it and i roll over because i don't have strength to engage in their fights.


One problem with this agitation is because it is made up of semi literates so much of their rants appears shallow and baseless. They don't know how to be diplomatic with words which makes them sitting ducks for cheap shots

when a foundation is not strong you don't need a prophet to tell you it's a matter of time before it collapse, so any sane person should not be against restructuring or against biafrans that do not want it to collapse on their head

DauraDullardo:
Chigboboss come and listen. Your masters say no amount of agitation can lead to restructuring. What's your say on this?

My masters? Respect yourself angry

You see, this is why I have been advocating for a clean agitation devoid of insults and threats but I was obnoxiously calld a coward and pacifist.

What the mallam said was that we require the majority votes of parliament in order to amend the constitution, he never completely ruled it out regadless of the sensatinal headline. But biko how can we convince the northerners who are the majority to vote in our favour when the Nnamdi Kanu brand of agitation is based on insulting, threatening and blackmailing the Yoruba and Northerners?

We should have employed diplomacy from the onset. I know you might argue that the north would still have not voted in our favour because of their thirst for oil, but the truth is that there would have been significantly less hatred and vengeance from their end compared to what is happening now, and we would have had a much higher chance of even getting the issue to be discussed in the national assembly.

What we need to do now is serious damage control and extend a hand to the north and west and tcatfully keep our grievances aside. This is the Yoruba strategy and it is working for them because even if they don't intend to secede or restructure, they get what they want (look at the new ports, railways etc.) and end up less marginalized if marginalized at all.

There are so many Igbo speaking tribes in Rivers State which include Etche, Ikwerre, Obio/Akpor, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Emuoha, Oyigbo, Bonny, Okirika L.G.A that speak Igbo either in part or in full and it is only natural to include your folks in Biafra afterall it was Nigeria that separated us in the first place. But because of other tribes in the region, it is therefore important to engage every member tribe fully and let each have his pride and right fully so as to make the breakaway succeed.
