It's painful to see people who have a good course fight it with a wrong strategy. Agitation is not a bad movement but carefully defining ur goal and mapping out strategy to achieve same is key. Rather than abuse everyone and turn the nation to chaos why can't they mount pressure on the politicians from the east to initiate a constitutional amendment process to accommodate referendum.

One thing is certain that no politician benefiting from the present structure wants restructuring and sessation. All these meetings are shakara just to appear that they are making moves. Is it a senator or rep. member that is earning fat salaries and allowances that would want to give powers to the states thereby reducing the money that goes to the federal? Is it a senator or rep. member that is enjoying in Abuja that would want Biafra to go thereby making them unqualified to be a member of nigeria national assembly. Abi na successful ignore trader scattered around nigeria that would want Biafra?

I bet that even if referendum is to be conducted, u would see how politicians from the east would mobilise their people against it.

My advice is that the Agitation should rather be against perceived marginalisation and need of inclusion in the scheme of things.

Amarabae:
have you heard about where a land is dredged b4?
How did you pass waec?
Smh at all these itiboribo trolls

And only the SE land would be dredged bah?

The right to dredge your land to the sea depends on your surrounding neighbours and if they vetoed the move, there's nothing you can do! That's why people say you're landlocked.

Moreover, dredging the sea could lead to natural disaster, especially when the tide flows..

Amarabae:
and which tactics are you going to use to recover ilorin from the hands of the fulanis?

Keep quiet and stop attempting to derail. If you want to discuss ilorin, create a new topic and stop bullshitying around me here.

You want to dregde to have access to sea...fine and good. Which river and from where to where?

You ibos are funny

PFRB:
USING WAR TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE. The lazy mans way.

You are formidable na, you dey fear to burn down the zoo again?

mr oduduwa man, i will answer you after you tell us how you guys can recover ilorin which is now an emirate,

Olisa Agbakoba is one man I like to listen to.

I think he's only Igbo by blood.

Amarabae:
mr oduduwa man, i will answer you when you answer tell how you guys can recover ilorin which is now an emirate,

See how empty and shallow you sound?
Tell your most senior elected leader Ekweremadu to ask his boss Saraki ....who in real fact is the afonja you ibos are worshipping
Very stupid empty girl

Then bring a referendum to prove it.

We really need SOUND leaders like this...

Amarabae:
the problem is not giving you referendum but where will the referendum hold?
Did the non-igbos you included in the map asked you for a referendum or will you guys force it on them?

Ask him how many Igbos asked him for a referendum aside the IPOB terrorists

Wristler:

Lol.. Don't mind her.

I would love if she dey apply brain to her beauty.. Maybe she just dey act foolish on purpose and she "can lie" for africa. Abegi.

Why is it that when ever biafra is mentioned people link it to war?

ApexPredator:

I reside in Biafra that is currently occupied by the tyrannical Nigerian government.

Since you reside in Biafra, it makes the case easier for you then. Just proclaim the Biafra now

Brilliant man.....will like to c Akinwumi Adesina and Olisa Agbakogba be the president n VP respectively

EVILFOREST:

But American by conduct

Stop shying away from the truth.... That's one thing Agbakoba won't do. You know it's not America.

Do you share the same blood with him

Fool
Go and ask Saraki
Which river do you want to dredge so that igbo will not be landlocked red soil enclave
Ďont you ever mention river Niger, that can easily be dam by Nigeria or any country before the water get to you.
Just shouting dredging is not enough but how to go about it
Common sense eludes you,

why being angry?
Leave Igbo issue to us and Tell us how you guys can recover ilorin which is now an emirate,

istandfortruth:
referendum = war

That the thinking of shallow minds. Yet today Spain is apologising to the injured Catalans, the sooner we see that guns don't always work the better for us all. Its very possible to achieve Biafra without firing a single shot.

But it would have been a lot better to have a united Nigeria thats 'filled with love and devoid of nepotism because the government of today has proven that fiscal corruption isn't the worst thing destroying Nigeria but Nepotistic corruption is.

you have said it all. Buhari is destroying his tenure with nepotism. He'll be killed by a relative

No, stop being silly by derailing the topic which is clearly igbo...go and tag me in an ilorin thread

You have no intelligence and you just write because you want to be seen here.
Its better for you to keep silent and read comments rather than writing your usual rubbish.
Im sure its the ladies that chased you away from romance section

fellow nairalanders why are we not analyzing the issues raised by the gentleman and we are here clouding our views with emotions. i am an igbo and i think Mr Olisa Agbakoba is honest enough in this his interview. The agitation of we Igbos are genuine enough but we should engage the Government the right way. The govt on their part should be ready to listen and dialogue. if they continue using force on armless Igbos in the long run frustration will lead to aggression. Which is what everyone is trying to avoid. ON THE OTHER HAND THE POLITICAL CLASS IN THE SOUTH EAST WHO HAVE BEEN REPRESENTING US SINCE 1999 ARE BUNCH OF TOTAL FAILURE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FEW RECENT GOVERNORS LIKE PETER OBI AND OBIANO WHO HAVE STARTED SOMETHING REASONABLE IN THEIR STATES.

Amarabae:
I thought you will counter my point intellectually with key facts,
and btw have you heard about commercial airports,
are Igbos airlocked too?
Many products are exported and imported by air,
so stop worrying about Igbos,dear.

My brother, he has answered you well enough. A proper Igbo only Biafra will be landlocked and likely surrounded by hostile neighbours. Yes, the Imo river pours out to sea. However it passes through Niger Delta (which will be a foreign country under this assumption) who may then impose bans or tariffs on cargo destined for Biafra. Also, the river isn't navigable across its entire length and if the Niger Delta refuse to dredge their end, building an up-river port in Biafra is dead on arrival.

You suggested Airport delivery. There is a reason why 90% of global freight is by sea. Airfreight is freaking costlier than sea! Also, not all cargo can be airlifted. Suppose, Biafra needs to import crude or petroleum products, what quantity can you easily fly into Biafra? More so, airfreight require specialized airports which will be costly to build. Also, hope you know that Biafra's neighbours can close their airspace to Biafran bound planes at the threat of shooting down violators.

Overall, Biafra being a landlocked country will increase its costs of doing business and its dependency on her neighbours. Her credit rating will be lowered due to this vulnerability and cost of funds will be high.

The chances of Biafra becoming an economic success is thus lowered and hinged on the whims of her neighbours.

You've boxed yourselves into a corner once again in Nigeria.
We want to see how you will escape this time around.
You didnt learn the lesson in the 70's

Answer simple question you and you are already derailing, if you mention ilorin here again, I'll report for derailing
