Let me say it again. Comprehension and critical thinking skills are seriously deficient amongst the Nigerian populace.
Most people come here to argue, without even understanding what they argue about.

There are a lot of Nigerians who are proud to be Nigerian, but who live in UK, USA , Benin Republic, Cameroun , Ghana, etc.
Not so ?
So what is the problem with being Biafran by nationality ( in the contemplated eventuality), and then being (by choice or necessity ) a resident of Benin Republic, Niger Republic, Togo , Ghana or the UK or Nigeria ?

Now, if you morons can't understand my posts and my points from that very simple perspective, then I am sorry, I can't help you with your comprehension issues.

Your comparism doesn't not hold water. Nigeria didn't secede from the UK or any of the countries you mentioned. And if you really want to make comparison, cite examples like China-Taiwan, Sudan-South Sudan ties. Stop making it seem like all of you are daft.

Good question. Anyone who has the answers should please share them with us. The Nigerian govt will make a lot of money from entry visas, CERPAC, residents permit, work permit etc. annually, once the Biafrans decide to return to Nigeria. Don't forget that many of them still want to eat their cake and have it. They want to remain in Nigeria running their businesses, and at the same time they want to be citizens of their proposed newly-independent country.

What is the population of Biafrans among the Nd'Igbo serving in the federal govt agencies, institutions and parastatals? One needs to look at it. They cannot continue working in sensitive positions and agencies, since they would no longer be citizens of Nigeria. They would have to relinquish those posts, for bona-fide Nigerians, don't you think so?

I agree with you 100%. Do you know what it means? A lot of igbo people live on the island in Lekki, banana island etc. They have properties and business that they will have to abandon. So are they ready? You can't ask for biafra and remain here! Everyone will have to leave first and apply for a Nigerian visa but for the first one year, Nigeria will not have any embassy there becos there will be bad blood btw both parties. So it means these wealth, businesses and their sweat will be forfeited.

In fact, Nigerian government will have a right to depot or refuse to renew the visa of these igbos, so their properties na voice mail as they will either sell or have it ceased.

THE TERIBLE THING IS THAT THIS SAME PEOPLE ASKING TO LEAVE NIGERIA WILL SEEK TO GET THE NIGERIAN VISA BECOS IGBO LOVE TO TRAVEL. EVEN THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS AN IGBO MAN THERE. MANY WILL WANT TO GET DUAL NATIONALITY, SO WHY ASK FOR REFERENDUM?

Which job will the millions that shall return to the east do? Some don't even have good houses in their villages. Na to leave city, then go live for villages? Bros, the hardship at the initial stage will be hard oo. During biafra war, they ate lizard and rat, this time fit be human being oo!

Even Israel after leaving Egypt was in wilderness for 40 yrs. It's not as easy as it looks on paper.

I love Nigerians irrespective of the tribe (though hausa people are annoyingly acting like they own the country) and I hope this biafra issue will finally give us true federalism in Nigeria. Cos they leave, Nigeria will loose but they will loose more. There will still be leadership issue in the east and an average igbo man is arrogant.

I'm delta ibo and I have two igbo in-laws, so through them I learnt that some villages in the east don't mix with each other. They dont inter-marry, else one of them will die in imo state. There will still be leadership issues, hates and discord there. black man na black man.

Name one country that have divided and become great in Africa? Blacks will always be blacks and our problem is leadership issue.

My wish is that we use this referendum issue to negotiate true federalism (a case where every state manages what they have) rather than spliting the country.

Biafrans should know what they ask for o! Even Israelite blamed Moses and accused him of bring them into hardship when they left the Egypt they so hated. So this same kanu might suffer same o because many at t start will not have good live. Not even a single mega city in the south east compared to Lagos.

OreMI22:
Whether they are deported or not, the important thing is that they have their own country.

Let me ask if Yorubas will be deported from Biafra when it is declared?

Deported kwa? Who wan stay? Once referendum is announced I have packed my husband and children to my village. I know they won't deport us!!

Sweetguy25:


A typical Hausa man cannot differentiate between an Igbo and other minority tribes in the south. Same with the Yoruba, every person in eastern Nigeria is an Igbo person to a typical Yoruba person. GEJs presidency can attest to that, Yoruba and hausas were regarded him as an Igbo even when he wasn't. GEJs name is Good luck Ebele Jonathan, it sounds Igbo but it isn't. So when Biafra secedes, you will deport such a person because you think or assume he's igbo?

You're just highly delusional and childish.

Can you please answer the question and stop stewpidly assuming you know what goes on in the minds of a "Typical Hausa" or Yourba man?

This one no be all those small small boys thread. I will not return insults to you. I know as e dey do you because your comparisms with the UK shows you are not mindful of context. And I think between me and you we can be civil to each other.
Cheers.

APCsupporter:


don't mind him. without Nigeria there will be no ecowas. all of their members are busy with their internal problems.

What is more probabilistic is if Biafra exits,
Nigeria would have been reduced to a chaff country.

Even if they make money from them, that is their right to do, do we look like we can't pay to run businesses outside Igboland?

I believe the reason @rossikki opened this thread is to point out the obvious flaws in the biafra quest, please guys don't let us in the process ridicule the whole Igbo nation.

For those of you IPOB enthusiast, know that your agitation will be putting millions of innocent people at risk. Although I know that in reality this biafran thing is just a phase that will soon pass as soon as an igbo man reaches the oval office but still enough with the bad blood guys there's no point to it.

Nairaland Spell check app is not doing a nice job. So, thanks for correcting the spellings. I do not have TIME to spell-check, I am terribly lazy to even correct spellings, cos you are a nobody to me, I do not mind typing bad spellings to you. Learn to read my points and stop checking spellings. I am not here to lecture you on how to spell, but to inform you that Biafra does NOT need Nigeria. But Nigeria NEEDS Biafra, that is WHY Nigeria has refused to let Biafra GO !!!

ISpiksDaTroof:


It wasn't solely because of Biafra. He returned it because of British military involvement in places like Vietnam, also. Basically, because he hated wars. Don't try to make John Lennon out to be some pseudo-Biafran hero.

Well that's how the information I read this morning put it across. Infact on that same page I read that Steve Jobs began to question the existence of God as a result of the atrocities meted on Biafran children. Thanks for the perspective given. I will research further.

Bro, the best thing for them is to ensure they leave o. With the level of hate they have propagated within the last 2 years, i bet they can ever be accommodated in this same country again. They have made the agitation a do-or-die affair. Unfortunately, na lose-lose situation.

I didn't want to tell him directly. Since he preens himself on his intelligence and comprehension skills I wanted him to decode it when I mentioned that his comparisms with the UK means he's being unmindful of context.

This is really silly. What is Biafra, what is southeast? If the southeast could give you a decent life, why are you here?

Billyonaire:


There is nothing in Nigeria that warrants anyone trying to stay behind here. The place is a mess. With Biafra, only a mad person will like to live in Lagos. I will move back to my paradise home and visit here on Business only, just to make sure I grab as much profits from Nigerians to continue to build our territory. Is Nigeria not a mess already ?

Guy, stop disgracing yourself.. get a dictionary and use it. It's spelt MONIKER.

Sweetguy25:
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.

The joke is on you, Brother.

U are still being annoyingly delusional. What is the contribution of your '5 landlocked states' to the nation so far? Compare the number of non-igbos who stay in those five states of yours to the number of Igbos who earn their living outside these states. Apart from mediocre, counterfeit products you guys produce, what else do your people offer to our economy? Drugs? Baby factory or what? An average Nigerian prefers to even import his needs from China or other foreign countries than buy from an igbo trader. So what the Bleep do you mean by Nigeria needing your parasitic people more?

ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOO

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 ANYONE--- 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 deaths 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.

exactly@bolded. one would think they are some superior species

Point of correction. Biafra covers SE/SS. So, rephrase your question again and do not get insultive. If Nigeria does not need Biafra why was there a war ? If Nigeria does not need Biafra, why are they forced to stay. I am a Biafran Nigerian for now, but I can not guarantee that I will remain a citizen of the failed State called Nigeria. You know you are not living well but we have all decided that it is painful to allow Biafrans to go and have a great life ALONE. We want them to stay. WHY ? Because Nigeria needs Biafrans than Biafrans need Nigeria.

Thanks.

SE/SS makes up what is called Biafra. Where are you from by the way, and why does the issue of Biafra become personal to you. Ohhhh, you are afraid that the oil money will not come again...hahahahaahah crazy parasites.

You guys are the ones delaying your freedom. You are obviously well read and know what to do. Return home and ask your legislatures to call for insertion of referendum into the constitution. And please stop claiming any South South state for now. The Biafra we recognize is an igboid agenda.

Now it is my English that bothers you son, after I have decimated you on the argument about Biafra, you are now channeling your frustration to my use of English. English is not my native language but I do great with it. So, be proud of who you are and where you come from. I am a Biafran Nigerian and I am happy to inform you that I am going to relocate from Lekki back to my new country of Biafra once we launch that new 21st Century, Digitalized Country. I will personally bring in FDIs into my new country and make sure our roads are built to accommodate driver-less cars., 247 electricity and we will welcome Nigerians to come and learn how a country works.

It is a shame that we will not give you more than 3 months VISA. We do not want you guys to bring your corruption to the #Jewish Republic of Biafra#.....ahahahahahaah
