Ndewooonuu. It will still take like 5yrs or more even if Biafra is actualize before you can really stand on your own, and there is no way Biafra can be great without Nigeria or any other Countries so to say to influence your development.

Biafrans should put on their thinking cap and recognise the greediness, selfishness, pride hatred of their fellow human beings before embarking on the journey of freedom.

It is one thing for you to get independence it is another thing to manage your resources.

Getting to the peak of your carrier is not the problem but having the prerequisite to stay there and manage the success.

There are so many Biafrans scattered all over Nigeria, after biafra so many will be displaced it will affect the economy of not only Nigeria but all other countries that have international relations with Nigeria. There will be more panic movements from North to South, the West to East, South to North. East to North and so on.

The after effect is unimaginable.

The issue of intertribal marriage is another thing they should consider. I say authoritatively that this is a big hindrance to the actualization of biafra. The truth is we are family.

This Biafra my people have been agitating for should be critically examined.

There will be serious problems after biafra if eventually achieved.

United we stand divided will fall. One Nigeria.

Let us tolerate one another.

Biafrans should first of all hold their current political leaders accountable. Are they honest? Are they greedy?
Will they be able to manage their resources?

Lastly you cannot pull down others for you to rise up, if you really want to go, do not fill Nigeria with gravels.

God bless my people.
The issues you raised are non issues with can be dealt with in just few years. Are you saying Sudanese did not intermarry before they broke up? or Pakistanis did not marry Indians?

There will be initial teething problem but everything will normalise in no time.

Biafra is an inevitable project and if Nigerian leaders are wise, they should allow them to go because the issue of Biafra will never go away. The Scottish have been agitating for over 500 years and Catatonians have been agitating for over 100 years. so anyone thinking Biafra will be forgotten is just ignorant. Nigeria will never move forward and the nations inside it will be caged as long agitators continue which lead to tribalism and nepotism and the result will be underdevelopment and mass poverty unless Nigeria is restructured to become a loose confederation.

A MESSAGE TO ALL ONE NIGERIAISTS AND IGBO AGITATORS
This my message to all people preaching one nigeria i am an igbo guy but not an ipob member neither am i a preacher of one nigeria am a neutralist who wants things done the right way for the betterment of everyone ..but i have come to figure out something about igbos and nigeria, the igbos want to seperate because they feel marginalized but still people feel they should be with nigeria so in my curiousity i ask this question to those preaching 1 nigeria with 2 reasons why should the igbos be with nigeriahuh?and to the agitators, seperating from nigeria does it assures us of our betterment and development as igboshuh? If you can give a response to this from any side or point of view that would be great because i need to know
They should stay because they, the igbos marginalised yorubas during j9nathan era. Ask Stella oduan or what. She will tell you better. They must pay what they sowed. Forget all the trash they are crying, they are only crying a victive cry.

LET'S SET RECORDS STRAIGHT

Out of the total of 360 House of Reps members, the entire South has 169, while the North has 191.
Here is the breakdown:

South East
Imo 10 Reps
Abia 8 Reps
Ebonyi 6 Reps
Anambra 11 Reps
Enugu 8 Reps Total= 43.

South South
Akwa Ibom 10 Reps
Bayelsa 5 Reps
Cross River 8 Reps
Delta 10 Reps
Edo 9 Reps
Rivers 13 Reps Total= 55 Reps.

SOUTHEAST & SOUTHSOUTH GRAND TOTAL =98 only.

South West
Ekiti 6 Reps
Lagos 24 Reps
Ogun 9 Reps
Ondo 9 Reps
Oyo 14 Reps
Osun 9 Reps Total = 71 Reps.

North West
Kano 24 Reps
Kaduna 16 Reps
Jigawa 11 Reps
Katsina 15 reps
Kebbi 8 Reps
Sokoto 11 Reps
Zamfara 7 Reps Total = 92 Reps.

North East
Adamawa 8 Reps
Bauchi 12 Reps
Borno 10 reps
Gombe 6 Reps
Taraba 6 Reps
Yobe 6 Reps Total = 48 Reps.

North Central
Benue 11 Reps
Kogi 9 Reps
Kwara 6 Reps
Nassarawa 5 Reps
Plateau 8 Reps
Niger 10 Reps Total = 49 Reps.

FCT 2 Reps.

GRAND TOTAL OF THE NOT =191
The question is, how dare you upstage this people in a vote?
Even if Southeast, South-south and Southwest joined together cannot upstage the North.

More facts coming...

INJUSTICE OF OIL ALLOCATION IN NIGERIA (1)

North Central receives 20%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
North East receives 16%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
North West receives 21%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
Every month, the 19 Northern states receives a minimum of 57% of 100% of oil revenue to which they CONTRIBUTE 0.00%.

South West receives 16%;
CONTRIBUTES 3.97%.
South East receives 11.00%;
CONTRIBUTES 25.07%.

South South receives 15.00%;
CONTRIBUTES 70.64%.

More facts...
LGAs in NIGERIA:
Nigeria has 774 LGAs.
The North has 19 states, and the 19 states have 419 LGAs....and u know the meaning of 419..fraud...

The South has 17 states, and the 17 states have 357 LGAs.

Working with the data from the office of the Accountant General as published by the Ministry of Finance (2013 April), the 357 LGAs of the 17 southern states receive 45.1% of what they contribute is 100%.

The 419 LGAs of the 19 Northern states receive 54.9% of what they contribute is 0.00%.
So those hoping for a hopeless hope for restructuring should wake up. The north will Never allow restructuring because they think they can't survive in a level playing ground.
Let me stop here for now ...alot on my mind.

*Above is one of the many reasons why we should all want and support restructuring of the country. The injustice is too glaring to be brushed under the carpet.

This information is not 100% correct.

North contributes 0.00%. This is very misleading.

Majority of the Agricultural products Come from the North.

And how have you taxed the agricultural products?
How have it contributed to our GDP.?

The information is not misleading, Government builds dams, and supply them with agro products with funds from the south.
When they harvest, they don't return a dime to the government.
Go and verify before saying the information is misleading.
