They think the Nigerian govt is going to chill and let land with its most exported resource go. Its impossible, it can't and won't happen. I hope it does though. Make dem give these people their biafra abeg.

They'll only sit down and talk with bombs and missiles, and its going to be very bloody because they won't care who dies, whether hausa or yoruba or igbo.

These guys just want to turn Nigeria to another Syria for World powers to manipulate for oil and na all of us go feel am. shocked.

Dem no dey learn and when you show them pictures from the last civil war, they'll start calling Afonja, cone head yoruba Muslim. They really need to be reminded.

I honestly didn't want to ever engage you again because you're clearly mentally unstable, but at the bolded I just had to.

Go through my old posts and go figure out how I came to be in your country a little over 30years ago and who you're trying to impress with that idiocy. You think you're talking to your clan members under the full glare of the moon light in the village square during the New Yam Festival?

I swear you guys got something seriously wrong with you upstairs.

P.S: 1. Unclassified Info means EVERYONE--- even a whino in Time Square--- can have access to it if he so desires.

2. Nobody in the U.S Army---not even if he's a ibo chief in his country--- can duly render assistance to a foreign body without authorization, so cut the crap and wishful conjecture thinking U.S Marines will fight on your behalf just because of their ethnicity. This is how your Biafran progenitor led millions of his people to untimely death before realizing his folly and fleeing the battle field. You're just a bunch of annoyingly boastful beings, its starting to get really nauseating and irritatingly annoying.
Declare the war already and get ready to fight in it, and context clue mo.ron...unclassified in my definition means- privy to public knowledge, I have served in the U.S. army for 3 years now and I'm in a far better position to use context clues as I deem fit, we just don't disclose info in very precise terms.
Once again the exposure of lots of Igbos here in the U.S. army has more than made me realize we are not to be fu.ckked with, lots of comrades I have spoken with during my tours are very passionate about Biafra, when you talk about war, better know there are people out here who are paying attention, its not easy to smuggle weapons and lobby for international channels to bring home men who are ready and willing to die for their tribe.

What is happening here is the de-amalgamation of Nigeria. The rolling back of the fraud perpetrated by a British imperialistic thief called Lugard in 1914. Since Lugard did not meet any '5 core Igbo states' when he came to west Africa, we have to assume it is part of divide and rule

So, go ahead and try to grab lands across the Niger and see how well that works out for you.

You're tough, right?

OP, Let me correct one impression. Biafra is not an Igbo thing, Biafra is beyond the Igbo construct which has been polluting the cyber-space. I am not Igbo, yet my father lost everything to that war. To me, Biafra is cry against marginalization, a cry against the inhumanity of man against fellow humans. Biafran represents something more than a country. It is a courage to say, 'No' to slavery.

The Answer to your question is NO. Nigeria can not deport Biafrans after secession, this is not 1970s. Biafrans resident in Nigeria and Nigerians residents in Biafra will be offered provisional citizenships with first right of refusal. Sane countries know the value of human resources. If Biafrans are to withdraw 100% from Nigeria. There will be chaos.

* Based on International Law on Migration of the ECOWAS 16-member countries, they will be required to get a Biafran Passport and Resident Permit in Nigeria. And the Nigerians living in Biafra will be required to do the same. Both Nigerians and Biafrans will be given at least 5 years to work out the terms of migration. Travels within the ECOWAS 16-member countries has been VISA-free and will remain so. What is required is resident permit.

* Based on International Migration laws, which I believe same will apply to Nigeria-Biafra relationship, if you own a Landed Property within the country, you are automatically qualified and have fight right of refusal on Nigerian Citizenship. I know many Biafrans will like to move away from Nigeria, and I am one of them, but will lease/rent out my houses in Nigeria and be paying tax to the Nigeria government while I go back to build Biafra. I will not hesitate to go back and help build Biafra to one of the best countries in the world.

* I will keep the last point to myself.

Guy, your entire post is based on assumptions and illusions. sad And assumptions are the mother of all fvckups. You said: "Biafrans resident in Nigeria and Nigerians residents in Biafra will be offered provisional citizenships with first right of refusal." By who? Who would offer them such an option? Did Nigeria promise this option categorically to your people, or is this just a flight of fancy or a figment of your imagination? shocked

Then you said: "Sane countries know the value of human resources. If Biafrans are to withdraw 100% from Nigeria. There will be chaos." What makes you think that the Biafrans are the only ones competent enough to hold down the jobs, they are currently doing within Nigeria? undecided There are smart, well qualified Nigerians in many parts of the country. Yes, there might be some issues initially, but for every vacancy on ground today, there are usually more than 5 applicants. So this aspect would be straightened out.

As for ECOWAS, no member state of the association can force Nigeria to dance to its' tune. Nigeria still pays the piper in that regional body, so it will continue dictating the tune. sad

Very shallow thinking.

First of all, how will you identify an igbo person to deport? How can you differentiate between a Nigerian Igbo and a Biafran Igbo? What of hundreds of thousands of Nigerians married to Igbos, will the government break up their marriages in order to deport the igbo spouse? What of their kids, will they Igbos or Nigerians?

Answer these questions if you think you're smart.

You will not spill the beans because there is no beans to spill. ECOWAS Treaty guarantees freedom of movement for the citizens of the 16-member states (soon 17). Biafrans will move enmasse out of Nigeria and build a 21-century digitalized country. The Human Resources available in the South South/South East Region will eclipse Nigeria within 2 years. All the Oil companies will be forced to shutdown offices in Nigeria and relocate to Biafra and our airports will be busy receiving FDIs than never before seen in the history of a new country.

We will have Christianity and Judaism as Religions. Which means, TErrorism will be alien to us. Financial watchdogs will not blacklist Biafra so that means, free flow of FDIs. Una go pay una World Bank and IMF loans tire without Oil.

Why would anyone choose to stay behind in a country that can not even generate more than 400 MW of electricity needless to keep the electricity running for 24hrs. Come on, men. Nigerians will BEG to visit Biafra. That is the truth.

Guy, your comments are still fueled by assumptions. Every single one of them. You actually think oil companies will relocate their offices to Biafra? What is the proportion of oil fields within your proposed Biafra republic, which are operated by these oil companies? Are they greater than those ones which exist in non-Igbo areas, within the Niger-Delta? Please wake up and smell the coffee. sad

You think if Biafra is declared today, they would automatically start generating 24-hour electricity? I laugh in French! undecided "Financial watchdogs will not blacklist Biafra......" because of what? What level of gold would be used to back up your currency? Don't you realise that there are many indices that financial watchdogs look out for, before a country is given a clean bill of health?

Problem with people like you is that you cant help but see everything from the point of view of a Nigerian. The world is a big place, it doesnt end and stop in Nigeria.

In 2002, East Timor seceded from Indonesia. Indonesia is 5 times bigger than Nigeria, a population of over 250 million people and is richer than Nigeria. Some people thought that East Timor would never survive without Indonesia. Today, East Timor is doing well and enjoying there freedom.

I have great confidence in my Igbo people, we are one of the most resourceful people you can find in Africa. The greatest resource a people can have is not oil or gas, it is human potential. Igbos have a lot of human potential, all they need is control of their own land to make things happen. Im from Anambra, an Oil producing state with on of the largest Gas reserves in Nigeria. But Im not even looking at these things. Im looking at the manufacturing potential of my area as soon we can free our selves from the cursed Nigerian 'power holding' start generating electricity with our coal in Enugu. We want to explore the agro-allied potential of Ebonyi, the production of Aba, the potential of Nnewi as the japan of Africa. The huge oil potential of Abia and Imo. The potential of an independent Biafra comprising of Igbos and the minorities who comfortable is incredible. All we need is to get out of the control of Abuja as an independent country.

Biafra will not be easy at first, but we shall overcome. I believe that within 15 years of Biafra existing, it will have the biggest GDP in Africa.



East Timor is not Nigeria or Indonesia and it's even ridiculous to compare your own situation and environment with others several thousands miles away from you.


The problem with you people is always lack of critical thinking, you formulate your thoughts based on sentiments and emotions instead of well though out reasoning and strategies.

Ojukwu took millions of your people to war without weapons and clear cut ideas and strategies and millions perished because of that foolish and irresponsible act.

Another clown is asking you to risk everything and your and your people are not asking critical and crucial questions, you are not asking him for the necessary ground work and planning necessary to sustain a Nation.


Have you asked him what he's going to do or how to resettle millions of your returnees?

Have you asked him anything about customs, borders, military, law enforcement, judicial system, education and health policies, governing body and elections, tax and IGR policies and the constitution needed to govern you from day one or he's just going to make that up from thin air?


Do you people really think beating chest and abusing people on the internet and home video is all you need to run a country.


You are heading for another self destruction. I don't even know why you people are hard learners.

Thoughtless post.

First of all, no one needs to move from wherever they live.
Any breakaway republic would automatically be recognized by the United Nations, African Union, and most importantly, ECOWAS.

As a member ECOWAS, every Biafran would enjoy the legitimate protection of the ECOWAS charter and treaties that guarantees the right to move freely, live freely and own property in any ECOWAS country, including Nigeria.

There will be no issue of abandoned property, movement restrictions or deportations.

Jesus Christ, are you guys this deluded?!

Nobody needs to recognize jack sh&t when you decide to break away or your Independence is disputed by a bigger more powerful country. It is not "automatic". Have you ever heard of Taiwan? What of Palestine? How about Israel?

In fact, if Nigeria decides to play the ultimate bully, they will put pressure on other West African countries (or even other countries, period) not to recognize your legitimacy and anyone who flouts that order/request gets cut off diplomatically. Nigeria is that influential if you must know. Just incase you guys don't realize it, you're attempting to go head to head with the most powerful and most influential Black Nation on the planet today.

This ur dream will only come true if Jesus himself comes down to be the President of Biafra. Jesus and all the angels in heaven will have to be the occupier of every government position in Biafra for this your dream to materialize.

This is funny. A people said that they do not want to be one with you again and you're worried about what will happen to them when they leave? Is this love or possessiveness? Sounds like what a possessive and abusive husband will do.

If you love them that much then why give them reason to leave?

My grandmother used to say that whoever is chasing something is also running past something. Igbos will lose so many things when they get Biafra, that's sure but they have been losing since I was born. Shops being burnt for the world's stupidest reason, losing lives etc so it's not new to them.

Once Biafra is declared, North will become a hot zone for all Igbos, it has always been but it will be multiplied by 100 this time. All Igbos in the North are heading East, this too is not new because they all headed East in 2015 during presidential election.

Even if the Yorubas will accommodate Igbos it will be if they get Odua too, I don't see it happening in one Nigeria(Yoruba and Hausa) but I believe what they got(their own country) is worth the loss.
First let me say I am not against Biafra. I hate the injustice in this country. Ehen.
As per your first paragraph, we really should be concerned with what would happen if you guys go and you too should worry if you mean well for your people. Self reflection is a cultural trait of the Igbos.

We are worried about the potential humanitarian crises with spill over effect in Nigeria. The population of Nigeria in 1967 was 55.6million (as per the census conducted in 1963). You will agree with me that the population has grown exponentially and we are now 180million. Igbos have grown in number too.

So if and when Biafra is granted how do you propose to accommodate this huge traffic and influx of people moving into the newly birthed Republic without a humanitarian crisis that would affect the zoo and Biafra?

And that's one cause for concern. I wish you guys all the best.

Cheers

Your write up is based on sentiments, and I am going to be very careful so you do not drag me into ethnicity and tribalism. I am only trying to educate Rossikki the OP, because I assumed he asked a sincere questions seeking to be educated on how countries are borned and formed.

That being said; Please pay absolute attention to what I am going to state here, I am not interested in arguments and emotional tantrums. I am sovereign Human Being and I am a Biafran Nigerian.

Point 1:
Every country in this planet has once existed as a colony of another and seceded either peacefully or via war.

Point 2:
After the Secession, there is always a Treaty and United Nations armson boundaries will step in and help in transitioning of the new country to a sovereign state.

Point 3:
Citizens of both countries, resident in the former territories are given first right of refusal of citizenship (This is in the UN handbook).

Point 4:
The Currencies held by Biafrans and Nigerians in diverse local banks will be converted to a neutral currency and transmitted in value to the currency of the new country based on the discussions of the central banks of the two countries dn supervised by World Bank.

Point 5:
Corporate Entities owned by Individuals/Cooperations resident in either of the countries under the office of Foreign Assets control are to obey the existing international tax laws extant in the country already. For example, Biafran owned businesses will adopt the tax codes of citizens of Ghana or Benin Republic doing business in Nigeria and Nigerians in Biafra will also permit adopt same tax codes based on income bracket.

There are more points but I will like to state as follows;

Biafrans are very industrious people and the Biafra territory control the Oil/Gas reserves. Akwa Ibom is the highest oil producer and Rivers State is the highest Gas producer and both States played major role in the Biafra war with Phillip Effiong being the Deputy of Ojukwu. So you can see that my assertions are based on facts.

Major real estates players in Lekki Peninsular, the hotbed of Lagos is controlled by the Biafrans, ask anyone and you will confirm this. I KNOW THIS FACT more than anyone on this forum and I can educate you all on who and who controls which aspect of this town, I live here and own major assets here.

Do not take this Biafra issue personal. There was Bight of Biafra even before the Southern and Northern Protectorates were amalgamated in 1914, this is a fact.

So it is not out of place for a people to say, they are no longer interested in the marriage of convenience since it is no more convenient.

Let us just say, Nigeria has failed to produce even drinking water, even electricity, even roads. Everything in this country is not working. We live in gated Estates, Gated Communities, Gated Compounds, with suicides, terrorism, kidnaps and all sort of poverty-induced problems here and there.

I will offer Nigerians who are ready to move to Biafra free accommodation in my Biafran home for 2 yrs out of pity for what we went through in this hell hole, pending when such a person is ready to make a decision to settle in Biafra.

I understand that many of you did not expect the Biafran agitation to gain this traction. Even our sick President didnt know this when he incarcerated Nnamdi Kanu.

Times have changed, so have we.

* Based on International Law on Migration of the ECOWAS 16-member countries, they will be required to get a Biafran Passport and Resident Permit in Nigeria. And the Nigerians living in Biafra will be required to do the same. Both Nigerians and Biafrans will be given at least 5 years to work out the terms of migration. Travels within the ECOWAS 16-member countries has been VISA-free and will remain so. What is required is resident permit.

The same Nigeria/Africa where nobody presently obeys the Laws laid down in their constitution and where disorganization is the order of the day is where/whom you're relying on to help you enforce all what you quoted above?

You should look into comedy. I think thats where your destiny lies.

* Based on International Migration laws, which I believe same will apply to Nigeria-Biafra relationship, if you own a Landed Property within the country, you are automatically qualified and have fight right of refusal on Nigerian Citizenship

You're obviously high.

laudate:


Guy, your comments are still fueled by assumptions. Every single one of them. You actually think oil companies will relocate their offices to Biafra? What is the proportion of oil fields within your proposed Biafra republic, which are operated by these oil companies? Are they greater than those ones which exist in non-Igbo areas, within the Niger-Delta? Please wake up and smell the coffee. sad

You think if Biafra is declared today, they would automatically start generating 24-hour electricity? I laugh in French! undecided "Financial watchdogs will not blacklist Biafra......" because of what? What level of gold would be used to back up your currency? Don't you realise that there are many indices that financial watchdogs look out for, before a country is given a clean bill of health? On what premise are you basing these your far-fetched assumptions, biko? shocked

You know what? Let me leave you to your delusions.....

No sir, I use facts, not assumptions:

Akwa Ibom is the highest Oil Producing State and Phillip Effiong, the Deputy of Ojukwu is from Akwa Ibom State ( May His Soul RIP, a great man)
Rivers State is the highest producer of LNG, and Rivers State is a pivotal state in Biafra, read about Igweocha. I am sure you know the meaning of Igwe then add Ocha...(Lol). Komoko, Chokocho, Opiro etc and the Etche environs speak Igbo and these are the territories oil oil oil even untapped.

Yes, if Biafra is declared today, we will have 24hrs electricity. The reason is factual and simple. Rivers State and Akwa Ibom have Independent Power plants that are currently transmitting power to the national grid. I do not want to mention other locations since our arguments are based on these two states. Enugu is called Coal City, I am sure you know what that means. We can power Biafra 24hrs, Yes. I can assure you of this.

If you want us to discuss about the Economic Module that I am presently designing for African Countries. Although I am personally pushing for Regionalism and have already convinced a few Biafrans, for the love of our smart SW brothers, I will not hesitate to change my mind and go all out for Biafra if the SW brothers are not ready to move away from the barbaric Islamists that domesticate women and enslave children.

We all have to wake up and stop hating those who want a better life than the status quo. I am a very comfortable Nigerian, but I am not selfish, I want all others to live in a country that government provides social safety net, medicare, pension system that works etc. And since Nigeria has failed to do this, I consider those who support the status as being MAD. And I know you are not one of them.

Jesus Christ, are you guys this deluded?!

Nobody needs to recognize jack sh&t when you decide to break away or your Independence is disputed by a bigger more powerful country. It is not "automatic". Have you ever heard of Taiwan? What of Palestine? How about Israel?

In fact, if Nigeria decides to play the ultimate bully, they will put pressure on other West African countries (or even other countries, period) not to recognize your legitimacy and anyone who flouts that order/request gets cut off diplomatically. Nigeria is that influential if you must know. Just incase you guys don't realize it, you're attempting to go head to head with the most powerful and most influential Black Nation on the planet today.

Sorry friend, the type of ignorance and poor comprehension skills I am seeing here is very troubling.

Kindly read your own post again, and see all the contradictions therein.
I am sorry, and pls don't take it personal, but there is an alarming dearth of critical thinking skills amongst Nigerians.

The scenario you created above is on the basis that such cessation of relationship is on amicable ground, which I doubt with all these bad blood getting to boiling point at the moment. Personally I don't think the Yorubas will be as forgiven and accommodating as the last time.

As long as una go allow my Biafran husband to naturalze o.........me I cannot stay in Biafra o grin grin
