Biafra does not mean you will loss properties you own in Nigeria

Nigerian own property all over the world using loosing properties because of secession it wount happen

Owning properties in Nigeria does not automatically give you the right to resident in Nigeria, only a residence Visa will. Even though the Chagoury brothers owned hundreds of properties in Nigeria, they were still deported unceremoniously by the Obasanjo administration. It was after they reconciled with the government were they allowed back.

How will you live or manage a property in a foreign country if you are denied access to the country.

The insults you see online is as a result of a people who don't want to be in union with you

How long are we going to keep suppressing a mandate millions of people believe in

if this government succeed in making Nnamdi Kanu forget about Biafra agitation a new leader will spring up

i dont know why we are afraid that secession will bring doom to Nigeria

there are several countries that experience secession they are better off today

so if the Igbos want to secede we should encourage it without bitterness because am seeing some politicians will start using the Biafra agitation to heat up the polity

The reason behind the agitation isnt the point, the message I tried to pass isnt also about how Nigeria would be better off or not, that is absolutely not what I'm talking about or even want to talk about.

My point was simple, if there was to be a separation, with the vast amount of investments and interests Igbos have all over Nigeria, it is definitely a silly thing to engage in any acts which can make the separation incordial because such acts will put the investments of Igbos all over Nigeria at risk.

Unfortunately, this is where ipob organisation has completely rubbished everything; the foundation of the ipob approach was to preach hate, spew unprintable insults at everybody and even leave threats on a daily basis. Such an approach has not only ridiculed sensible Igbos all over Nigeria, it has also put the security of lives and investments of Igbos all over Nigeria at risk. If anyone cannot see that, then it's a pity.

pauljumbo:
so is that a good reason to seize the properties of Igbos if biafra becomes a country?

what you are saying is because we have millions of people who hate buhari and also abuse him because he is fulani man he should seize their properties because he is the president of Nigeria?

we are seeing this hatred because we try to force the igbos in the union of Nigeria

Biafra is an ideology that should be engaged with logic not threath of igbo man will lose his property if biafra becomes a country

Nowhere did I insinuate that it is good to seize anyone's property. I only called for common sense to be applied to the issue; as a smart adult, if I have a valuable property planted within my neighbours compound, I would have to apply some wisdom when thrashing out issues with him. I will do all I can to ensure I dont infuriate him, and this will remain the wise thing to keep doing until I successfully retrieve all my valuable belongings from his compound. This is common sense I would suppose. But obviously, ipob organisation didnt think this wisdom was necessary; it probably doesnt even care about the vast number of Igbos who have mega investments outside Igboland, after all, "Why didnt they bring their investments home even when we warned them to do so?"

Applying common sense to the matter, I wonder why you should be surprised that following the threats of destroying the zoo, there are now counter threats of property seizures. What exactly were you expecting to be the natural reaction of the insulted people of the zoo?

Wow! I'm really glad to see "thinking Nigerians". Nnamdi Kanu is just going to end up causing more problems for the average Igbo.

wirinet:
My brother you have spoken the absolute truth, Kanu and his IPOB gang have put the lives of Igbos all over Nigeria in danger. Igbos are some of the most brilliant tribes in Nigeria but Kanu is making Igbos look stupid.

We often argue about this Biafra with my staff and customers at the office and one question I asked them yesterday was " What source of income will Biafra use in running their country?". I told them if the Nigerdelta refuses to follow them to Biafra, they will all die of starvation. I got all kinds of stupid answers yesterday; One said the international community will provide aid to run the country. Another from Ebonyi said they have rice and Cassava. I asked him if the rice and cassava can provide enough earnings to pay civil servants and run a government. Another said they would make money their importation business. I asked this one what will provide the foreign currency to continue their importation business, he did not understand, what i was talking about. Another shouted " We have oil in Abia and Anambra too". The most stupid one i heard was that they would cross the bridge when they get there.

To me Biafra just like Nigeria is predicated solely on oil income from the Nigerdelta. Kanu's struggle is all about cornering the oil fields of the Nigerdelta and depriving the other two major tribes - Hausa/Fulanis and Yorubas, access to same. That is why they cannot mention South East without attaching South South or Nigerdelta.

A Biafra with the oil rich Nigerdelta would make South Sudan look like a garden party, the oil bearing tribes would seek the help of foreigners to deny igloos access to their oil. Even oil Bearing Igbo communities like Etche and Ogba would jealously guard their oil against others.

I'm glad the article resonated with you. I only wish the eyes of more Igbos could be opened

How could you be confusing the mere social banters between Nigeria vs Ghana/Kenya with the rabid hate filled inter-ethnic/tribal abuses prevalent in Nigeria lately?.. Are you for real?

Nigeria and Biafra will make great neighbours especially Oduduwa, if they choose to part ways, that is. Forget about the so-called hate speeches.

It's dumb founding when people complain of hate speeches without trying to investigate the cause. Majority of the youths of this country are frustrated already. They have been to school and they now know that the system is not developed to succeed. Nigeria keeps retrogressing with every passing day.

Just a few days ago, a young Hausa man was honoured in UK by the Queen for his technological ingenuity. Would that have happened if he was in Nigeria?

Nigeria is designed to hamper the potentials of the youths and those who understand are deeply angry

Nigeria and Biafra will make good neighbours only if the separation is achieved in a cordial manner. But even at that, I don't trust the north being accommodating to an Igbo man should there be a secrssion. By default, majority of Hausas up north hate Igbos and ironically, the same Hausas are the biggest opponents to Igbo secession. Let's be honest with ourselves, do you honestly think the Hausa man on the streets of Kano for instance will be more courteous to an Igbo living in Kano if the SE should secede?

You and your family members can come and vote but as for me and my family #NothingLikeElectionInAnabra
