I have one question for you. Why didn't the rest tribes in Nigeria import the goods they needed directly by themselves all these while. Was anything stopping them? Why did they rely on Igbo?


All these you plenty talk. You sound like a dunce try a feel smart

Garrirevenge:
PLENTY JOKERS, PLENTY COMEDY.
Emeka(real name) is in Lagos,
married with 3 kids and you see
him locking his plaza anytime and
every time in support of Biafra.
Emeka recently bought two plots of land around Badagry and
already the foundations to a 4
bedroom masterpiece is taking
shape on that land. Emeka is from
Anambra state, a single pin he
owns not to his name in the village. Yet in Lagos, Emeka goes
about shouting for all to hear
'Biafra or I die'.
.
.
Musa(not real name) is in Kaduna, tired of a constant nagging
national anthem from Emeka,
Musa assumes a potentially
dangerous identity and declares a
90 days ultimatum telling the
Emeka's that all of them can leave his domain and disappear to their
Biafra. Failure to do so, they
would be forcefully evicted.
.
.
Dapo(maybe it is me, maybe it is not) is falling for a pretty
intelligent damsel whom he is yet
to tell how he feels about her. He
is worried that he as a Nigerian
won't be in love with another
Nigerian but rather a foreigner called Biafran. What an anomaly,
for he would be needing to travel
from one country into another
just to see his in-laws who were
once neighbors but now
foreigners. .
.
Dapo's case is small, love they
say can break barriers, although
who knows how much a Biafran
pound would exchange for when the time for dowry ever comes.
For it is often said that the dowry
to marry from that region in
Nigerian Naira can make a young
man hug a transformer, how
much more would it be in Biafran pounds. Just hope by then Dapo
won't tell the Oba of Lagos(that
one that told Emeka to jump into
the Lagoon) to allow him dive into
the water when he is told to bring
3 billion Biafran pounds which would be about #300 million
Nigerian Naira before he can
marry their beautiful Abian
princess. That is if they even
agree to allow him after the
second civil war that led to a separation.
.
.
Musa the unknown spokesperson
declaring absolute and beautiful
bunkum on behalf of the entire Northern youth is already getting
a warning from his sensible
governor who is ordering that all
such irredentist fanning the
embers of tribal war in his state
be arrested. What a governor, if only Emeka's governors aren't
cowards and follow the footsteps
of the Kaduna mallam, our unity
might not be as shaky as it is
right now.
. .
However, in my true life fiction, it
is Emeka one needs to pity the
most. Emeka who for once
haven't held his governors,
chairmen, senators, representatives and himself
responsible for the neglect in his
region. Emeka who thinks all
Igbos scattered worldwide hold
the same views as his and would
point fingers to all others in a constant self-absorbing manner
that selfishly belittles the pain and
neglect other regions suffer too.
Emeka would mostly act as if the
North and West don't have poor
people who have no hope. To imagine that it is this same Emeka
that statistics can prove a penny
of his money is not going into the
development of his region(unlike
Musa and Dapo who still
contribute a little to their regions) screaming the most for a break
up of his country is just too much
palm wine taken in excess.
.
.
Musa, Dapo and the strong headed Emeka need to come together and
truly see that the problem is not
themselves but those who have
selfishly enriched their pockets at
the detriment of their people
while posing as their leaders. If only they can stop the joke, stop
the comedy and the call to shed
innocent blood and go after those
who have held them in bondage
for decades, then they can have
true liberation for themselves as Nigerians and not as breakout
factions acting as puppets for the
same selfish greedy leaders using
religion and region to separate
them.
. .
Musa, Dapo and the ever
industrious Emeka, Oya give
yourselves brain today. No more
jokes, no more comedy. You can
unite to shame your common enemies. It is very possible, yes
it is doable for us to have a united
prosperous Nigeria that shall
respect the rights of every man.
My name is MICHAEL ILORI, and I
just want to make Nigerian sense

Carter4luv:
Give them the word sir. The northerner youths lack common sense. Too much of kunu and brukutu.

PedroJP:
if i may ask. What do u want us to learn from history ? Is it to 4get Biafra and have statis quo or what exactly ? Is it by force to coexist ? At all cost ? If we must coexist at all cost, why ain't your leaders want to compromise ? Must all sacrifices be from Igbos in order not to have history repeat itself ?


This time around, we will correct history perfectly

akpamuomenka:
They think that it is easy for a whole region to abandon their businesses and sit at home. Even MgbatiMgbati people have bn trying to sit at home on every June 12 to no avail.

Oselu28:
it is also very clear that common sense is far from you bcus if you have "political education" you will know what happened during the last struggle for a biafra nation.

franudi:
This plan is for the afonjas.So we will be answering nigerians till the next six years?You are not serious.

Jaideyone:
oponu I hope you know there is difference between a sit at home and a public holiday? june12 has never been about a sit at home.

you had to foolishly drag Yorubas into the catfight with your slave masters again. foolish post

jpphilips:
The saddest part of your struggle is that the man Kanu asking you to secede from Nigeria is still living in his parent's house when he is not on exile in london

NLPsychologist:
That's lame of him. Most people who obeyed the sit-at-home where fearful of their businesses being harmed one way or the other...not "obedience" as it where. Cos the first order wasn't 'obeyed' like that

This is because of the fact that many Igbos and Igbo-businesses will close without Nigeria. The ones shouting biafra are mostly those who use to import the goods that a now banned, and they are now jobless.

The other lot asking it's people to come back home do not know or foresee it's implication.
Can you feed and accommodate them? As stingy an greedy as you guys can be, whats the guarantee that
you wont even poison some of them and take their wealth? What happens to their businesses and properties
in the north? You just ranting "come back come back" as if you know what it means for those Igbos you are calling.

If the small recession that's so biting can so distress them, war or relocation will so bite them that this recession and joblessness will be like flexing in Sheraton Hotel and working in NNPC.



Good! Recession is all over Nigeria, who does it affect consequently? The business man--The Igbo man.
Thats why the sudden noisyness and paranoia of the Igbos shouldn't be taken serious.

If it happens, Igbos in the north will be wasted and all that wondrous achievement of its people
will be wasted due to thoughtlessness of NK and some myopic ones.

The northerners marry 4 wives. they will replace the ones you kill in the SE in just one night of 4ckery.
Your precious sons and daughter in the north will be wasted over an avoidable issue.

It seems at every point of Igbo existence, a lunatic is always sent in form of a freedom fighter to come waste
Igbo achievement. The joke is on Igbos always.

jpphilips:
You think that an igbo trader in Onitsha having a bad buisness day can decide the fate of every Igbo in the country? are you that dvmb? you blame the black race but your thought process is "blacker than Black".
How many Igbos outside the SE want Biafra? don't you know there are more igbos outside the SE than those in the SE? who consulted igbo diasporans? You want to talk about civility when you reason like an Ape!

Deyvid123:
there is no reason to insult anyone to get your point across.
who told you, if the Igbos in diaspora want biafra or not?
let there be a referendum and let the people decide their fate...PEACE

Jaideyone:
oponu I hope you know there is difference between a sit at home and a public holiday? june12 has never been about a sit at home.

jpphilips:
You want to conduct a global referendum for all the Igbos in Diaspora? are you sure you know what a referendum means or you just wanna tell us you learnt a new word?

words of wisdom although i don't trust Reno omokri on a personal level.
How to achieve Biafra in ten years or less
1.Form a political party with self-determination and self-rule for Igbo people as a platform. United Progressive Party(UPP) may already be positioning itself to be that kind of a party.

2.Elect majority of the region’s local and state government officials from that party. This will solve the problem of who is supporting Biafra and who is not amongst the ethnic minorities around the Igbo area.

3.Have two-third of elected officials sent to Abuja elected from that political party. You will be sending a clear message across Nigeria and the world, and the agenda of these officials in Abuja will not be ambiguous.

4.Once two-third of all elected Igbo officials are from this political party with a platform that says self-governance and self-determination, a pseudo- referendum would have taken place.

5.The party can demand a regional parliament in Enugu to govern themselves, similar to what happened in Scotland and Quebec. At this point, the government in Abuja will concede to demands to devolve power from the center as they do everything to delay the inevitable.

6.After a few years of regional governance, if so desired, then demand a formal referendum from Nigeria. A referendum to leave Nigeria can take place in 6-8 years time.

7.If the referendum passes, Biafra can be a state of its own.

gartamanta:
Can you tell us how many of these steps Lugard and the British went through before they created Nigeria and made you a "Nigerian"?

dealslip:
All Northern elite that condemned that ultimatum are only worried about the loss they will make if Nigeria divides. [b]Remember they have little to contribute to Nigeria [/b]but alot to take from Nigeria.

PedroJP:
Ipob has been more vocal against afonjas than Arewas, what are you cone heads waiting for to give ultimatum ? Why raising your voice behing Aboki's charge .?


Where is that super1star, i really came back because of you. Hope you will give your own ultimatum for Igbos to vacate Lag and afonja's territory and stop tossing about behind an Hausa man's charge that has received less of what has been given to you.

NLPsychologist:
Dear Educator,

There is a saying that if you go to a place in Nigeria and you didnt find an Igbo man, leave.
There is also what is known as 'Igbo Must Sell'.

All these talks of the fact that Igbos left the NE and penetrated all nooks and cranny of Nigeria.
based on your education these Igbos are just hanging out



Nooo when did Igbos sell anything in Nigeria

It is Ghanians that coe to Nigeria, buy from Igbos then leave.



I know you are travelling out to produce, after that, you keep it or consume it yourselves and do not sell to Nigerians.

Super1Star:
Whatever both of you decided to do with each other is none of our business.

Ours is, do not carry your MADNESS beyond your regions or else a repeat of the Ore defeat is in the offing once again.

Those who fail to learn from history, always end up being made history.

When will u start being truthful. If they sit on the fence, you would be the first person to nail them. Now, they're condemning the attitude still, you're not satisfied. haba!

Point of correction, everyone contributes
And everyone have their specialties

abescom:
People like Reno are just hypocrites. Where was he when Nnamdi Kanu was preaching hate asking igbos to kill and destroy those who do not agree with his ideology?
