Dreambeat:Do you honestly believe that things will be better for the average Igbo man in Biafra land?? Do you know that it's the same set of corrupt leaders/thieves that will still occupy leadership positions in biafra land? (They still possess the funds to influence the average voter) Charity begins at home! Before you guys start ur agitations, shouldnt you first deal with ur looting LG chairmen, HOR members, Senators and finally ur Governor's, then you will be taken Seriously.. Its sad that the land of Biafra will be emanate from the blood of the innocent who are honestly frustrated, they are being used by selfish elites. When Biafra emerges it will shock them, when they realize that you can take a pig from a styl but u can't take the styl from a pig. Ur current leaders in Nigeria are the same as ur leaders in Biafra. Wake up and do the needful |

Debatesmartly:was that government in your hands or not? the wife of the president, CBN, finance minister , Sec to the FG, chief of Army staff ,deputy Senate president , TAN ambassadors , etc but you guys didn't restructure. So must it suddenly be PMB that should? is not that deceit? |

Reference:so longsighted foreigners stop using force but persuasion and diplomacy to let the president know why we must restructure and if it isn't in his priorities as it wasn't in the owners of that pseudo- confab in 2015 , life goes on. simple. |

Super1Star:You cannot sincerely claim you asked for restructuring 23yrs ago. The best anyone can ask for 23yrs ago was for a return to Democratic rule. So, if you did ask at that time, you didn't do it out of sincere purpose but to push the Northerners to consider the Yorubas after disenfranchising them in the elections. If Yorubas were ever truly sincere, nothing prevented Obasanjo in his 8yrs to restructure Nigeria, and nothing is preventing Osinbajo now. Truth is, Yorubas like the Northerners will face many uncertainties should Nigeria be restructured like most Federal Government's of the world. Yorubas subtly fight against it in the background, leaving the more vocal Northerners to look like the stumbling block whilst you guys are even worse. The status quo will not remain like this for long. |

bilazego:Awolowo saw it in 1956 and he advised that secession clause should be included in the constitution but the greatest Igbo man, Zik,fought against it because he was myopic. |

misano:Bros, The non ibo's won't be marginalized. that's why i duff my heart for IPOB, check out the people that are incharge of it in Nigeria and thank me later as well. do you that IPOB national coordinator is a Bayelsa man while Akwa ibom man assist even igala,idoma and others are well represented am talking about presently. Then taking you back the memory lane of 1967 don't forget the likes of Effiong,Joe Achuzie, Opigo et al, these are people of other tribes that were anchoring Biafra then with Ojukwu. Bros ibo's like live and let live not live and let others die. So the reason for me standing by them as an Ikwerre man is that am better off and my people will be better off too. |

sotall:Instead of granting interviews to newspapers on the issue, they should bring it up in the house. that's when I will know that they are serious about it. this is what they should have done in the first place and from the beginning, rather than allow one small boy shot into limelight suddenly. |

HiddenShadow:No I don't like half measures. Restructuring is only a temporary measure, I support separation for those really unhappy with the union, for example the IPOB. |

Babacele:So because GEj didnt it shouldt happen at all? Do you even understand democracy. People have the right to ask for whatever they want to their elected officials. |

EnuguDadImoMom:Use your brain and stop exhibiting myopic reasoning that makes all laugh at your shallowness over the internet. You want to leave the 'Zoo', so do so and leave 'Afonjas'... out of it. |

Debatesmartly:people have the right to ask for poison but we should not be deceptive about it. If the motive behind such cries is insincere, then President can choose how to react to such fraudulent agitation s. If we want reforms, there are saner ways to go about them. |

Babacele:Referendum, is it not peaceful and sane? Ask for restructuring? A dumbass president who doesnt even understand democracy he think he has to cater only to those who voted for him. |

Unfortunately,most of those commenting on Biafra did not know what brought about the word Biafra . Going back to history, before Independence, Pa Obafemi Awolowo had proposed the creation of three other Regions from the existing three regions of the North,West and the Eastern region. (see AWO's "Thought to Nigeria constitution_ 1945)" but at Independence this did not came by. but by 1963 Midwest was created from the old Western region but the Hausa/Igbo Coalition govt. at Independence refused to create the Middle Belt from the North and Calabar _Ogoja_Rivers (COR) region from the old Eastern region despite agitations from the proposed regions concerned the likes of Joseph Tarka from the Middle belt and Wenike and Lulu Briggs from the COR region we are all aware of what became of their ends for their agitations. Then came the one sided coup of January 15, 1966 and the subsequent counter coup of July the same year and its follow up. The breaking of the country into 12 states by General Gowon in which the then Eastern region was broken into East Central, South Eastern state (Calabar/Ogoja) and River state was what brought Ojukwu to declare Biafra because he felt that the oil rich south south area which had all along been under their control has been taken away from them not minding the fact that similar action happened in the then Northern region which was divided into seven region of North East, North West North Central etc etc. So those now agitating for bia_ fraud should now know that Gowon acted in line with Awolowo's earlier proposal of six regions by making it twelve but because the I BEFORE OTHERS want to continue to lord it over the South South they unilaterally declared Biafra forgetting that only the South South can declare Biafra if they so whish because the bight of Biafra belong to them like Bight of Benin belong to Benin republic. The Igbo's have nothing to do with bight of Biafra as they were completely land locked without access to the sea. |
