Let this poem of mine help you.
WE MUST WIN
Terrorism is the label
A label for unarmed agitators
From lawful agitation to terrorism
Whilst Boko Haram reign supreme
Yet we must win.
The nomads invade lands
Men, women, children not spared
Husbands watch wives get ravaged
Farmlands get invaded
Crops destroyed,
Yet the unarmed are the outlaws.
But we must win.
The oppressors invade our lands
Kill our youths,
Brutalise others,
And make our enlightened leader disappear
Yet we must win.
Judges flee the Temple of Justice
In their bid to incriminate the Saints
The derelicts remembered after many years
Another attempt to emasculate the IPOB
Yet we must win.
We are the Children of Light
The descendants of Gad
The Children of Abraham
Our Heavenly Father does not fail.
WE MUST WIN.
Read that poem slowly and see reasons why
you should dust yourselves and make things
happen. Don't give up the fight. Let us fight
on until we restore Biafra. 2 Likes |

am not a tribalist, but yorubas are just very funny, they make u believe u are worthless and that they can do without u even though in their inner mind they know that u are helping their existence, if not why are they so pained about a people they described as worthless wanting to leave them. they will be quick to tell u beautiful reasons why u should remain. just listen to them on television TVC and hear biase analysis u will still see some of them with statements like 'who is holding u not to go' but will be quick to send in soldiers to the war front. hypocrisy. as far am concerned its the yorubas that are holding us back because they have never supported our quest but opposing us both intellectually and with use of force, we are suppose to be partners but they always leave us in the cold and laugh at our pains just like the Aba massacre the fact is that Igbos are just too invaluable to all the tribes in Nigeria for them to be spilling blood just to keep them 5 Likes |

How does this man expect me to read all that long epistle after the first paragraph which starts with hate speech The article is simply a waste of time and no one should bother reading it, just go straight to the comments.

As we speak, Buhari's wife and kids are in Britain as citizens. Recently God used the wife of terrorist Buhari to exposed the lack of tablets in Nigeria's Aso Rock clinic, not to talk of the dead facilities they called hospitals in other regions what they are going through.

misterawo: Thank you bro, honestly is realy borring, i wanted to ignore this Lamentation but u got my attention. Same old soup but just different hand. Aren't we tired? Black race always blaming the white for their shortcomming, greed & inadequacy. What is funny is that even when white were actively exploiting us, they gave us quality structure & quality education:Chinua Achebe Generation which is known as the Lucky Generation. Now that we claim to be incharge of our affairs please what can we boast off? The bitter truth is that even when we work so hard to paint them as the devil we are depends on them for almost everything, we sent our children over there to learn & you say they are bad abeg what do u what ur children to learn? With our land & other resources we are still importing almost everything from them. To top it, all this is comming from Our Leaders who will sell the right of 3generation just for a cup of coffee in that white man land. The only good thing that came out of African Nation is Nelson Mandela, in Music is Fela, Lucky Dube and few others the rest are just self-serving Narcissist.... Somewhere in Africa a man Rule his Country for 37years still counting, yet He still Travel Outside for his Medical Care, please what does that say about us? Yesterday it was Asari, Then Ateke, just dangle a white man cup of coffee infront of us & we will sell this Nation for it, that is how cheap we are. now we hear another one on a white man cheap drugs just a sound of Knock out, him don run. This is who we called Leader? Mandela must be weeping in the grave, atleat Ojuku had a plan, he was organise gather Brillian minds of that time(including Chinua Achebe) to believed in his Struggle, he has a plan & the heart, abeg What does this one have? if not mouth. It is only the Rat in the house that tell the rat in the bush that there is Food in the house. Even our so call Church Leaders are exploiting us with our chicken heart We need another Mandela but i'm afraid we may never get it with the generation that see Sex as an achievement especally if you win her through cat fish. 3 Likes |

ivolt: There was no deflection here. The writter started by saying a boastful Kanu ran away from the Nigerian Army. My question is, was the Nigerian Army created to go after unarmed and boastful people like Kanu or where they created to go after people who are destroying lives and property like Shekau? So the Army left their constitutional role of defending Nigeria to go after boastful people and the writter is trying to make a point from that illegal act?
It is quite a shame and cowardly of the Nigerian Army to be still invading someones house as if we are still in military rule. The Army is going to fight an unarmed man and you people are praising them? What is there to praise? The only cowards here are the Nigerian Army who embarked on an illegal exercise to to attack an unarmed man in his house. But shekau has been in his house for seven years and nobody can get him. So the Nigerian Army is only good at attacking people with no guns? So what was all that training for?
If you suppport the reigning in of people using unconstitutional methods in a democracy then you dont mean well for anyone. 2 Likes |

gidgiddy:Nigeria can go after any suspected trouble maker. There is no law in our constitution mandating the government to only go after armed suspect. In fact, most of the arrest carried out by law enforcement agencies does not involve armed suspects.
Again unarmed does not equate saint or blameless. Cowards cower under their beds or flee instead of confronting their problems so you can't have "coward" and "invade" in the same character. We can clearly see who is the real coward here. Army exercises are perfectly legal, if it isn't please point to the part of the Nigerian constitution which barred Nigerian army from carrying out excercise in any part of the Nigerian territory. I hate pseudo-authoritative arguments, just because you said so does not make the Army Excercise illegal By bringing in shekau into an unrelated issue, you are just like a pickpocket who berates police for arresting him instead of going after armed robbers and murderers. You can see the fallacy in such argument. Again, cite the part of the Nigerian constitution which bans the Army from carrying out excercises in any Nigerian territory. Don't bother restating your point if you do not have evidence to back yourself up. Dangerous elements in a society must be reign in. Again this has nothing to do with being armed. |

HungerBAD: This can only come from a lecturer in a Nigerian university, evident in his loss of touch with Global realities. myopic adjudications like this is a proof that the quality of lecturers is the reason graduates leave our higher institutions worse than undergraduates their entry status. The crux of this man's opinion is that since IPOB has a foreign account domiciled in France, Paris has become complicit in IPOB affairs, on the other hand, Since Britain still allows radio Biafra to thrive then, london is complicit in IPOB affairs, this s!lly conclusion can only be drawn by an academic misfit, unfortunately, he feeds our undergraduates with this kinda jargon, rendering them impotent in the larger world. In 2016, the Turkish government through its Ambassador to Nigeria handed us a list of 17 schools and several hospitals fingered to be owned by the Gulen movement accused of masterminding a failed coup in Turkey, hoping to use diplomatic influence to cripple their source of external funding by extension their investments abroad, we replied Ankra that whatever they did in Turkey isn't our problem, to us, they are much desired foreign investors assisting the growth of our economy. Never mind that the US had asked the Turkish government to provide proof of the Gulen involvement before its leader can be extradited, Turkey is yet to comply with that directive. Till date those schools are up and running, thanks to diplomacy of protectionism and national interest. Never do wells like Lai Mohammed who ordinarily is best fit for a propaganda machinery should stop disgracing Nigeria on the global stage, why do you need to beg Britain to shut down radio Biafra? is it in the British interest to do so? how many transponders of economic importance will have to go down just to satisfy the brutish curiosity of the Nigerian government? don't think there are stand alone stations on a communication satellite. Lai mohammed should give us one good reason why the UK should shut down radio Biafra, since we all agree that the whole freedom of speech excuse is nonsense, I could remember vividly in recent past when there was a diplomatic row between the Iranian government and the UK, anti Israeli and anti semitic rhetorics saturated the airwaves, the british government banned the Iranian owned Press Tv till further notice, isn't that a breach of speech freedom? Lai mohammed must understand that the world does not care of his existence, he may be a minister in nigeria today, over there, he is just another bloody African that usually begs for visa at the Embassy, the british governmnet doesnt owe him sh!t neither do they care about his existence, going there to make demands is the most stup!d diplomatic move i've heard so far. The infamous Dr omawumi is completely out of touch with reality when he assumed that Britain owes us something when we allow looters to export our common wealth to foreign treasuries, it is no right but a privilege if they choose to assist in its repatriation after all, the British government did not ask us to elect petty thieves with leaking institutions, it is a shame when Dr Omawumi has misplaced simple magnanimity for entitlement. what happened to frequency jammers if we are so desperate to shut down radio Biafra? does Britain look like a houseboy at our beck and call? The Nigerian authorities must use this incident as a learning point to up our ante, not only in diplomacy but in technological self reliance. IPOB may decide to use proxies to control the accounts having members globally, what diplomatic reason does France have to shut the said accounts? if it must be done and perhaps monies remitted to us because we are Nigeria the giant of Africa? Does Lai mohammed really think the French authorities are stup!d? I agree completely corruption must be tackled, i agree IPOB is a clandestine group that deserve no attention in Nigeria however, bothering other countries with our petty issues is a joke taken too far. |

ivolt: I suggest you read section 217 of the constitution. It gives only 4 situations where the military can be deployed: 1) Protecting the territory of Nigeria from external aggression 2) When there is insurrection 3)To "aid" civil authority 4) By an act of the national assmbly And none of them applied to Abia state 2 Likes |

That is the very problem with Nigeria ...Every Dick and Harry is a Dr and purely nothing tangible and physical to show for it. Borrowed and unmerited titles everywhere. How could this trash-writer be a Dr. of philosophy and yet has no single philosophical thoughts and senses in his empty ,bigoted tribal and corrupted Igbophobia head?. I weep for Nigeria. I have a message for you Mr. borrowed Dr, no unity is sustained with the barrel of guns as history has shown that. Let me put it to you, no amount of fabrication of words, employment of weapons, armaments and military invasion will give Nigeria unity and as long as day and night remains,Biafrans will continue to seek for freedom until freedom is gotten. If people like respected Prof. Wole Soyinka can assert that no amount of usage of weapons and military invasion can stop agitation for Biafra and if after killing over 10 million Biafrans just 50 years ago and the agitation for Biafra can hit the zoo this hard, I don't see how your useless and carelessly arranged article here can be more lethal than weapons against the quest for independent of Biafra. So, get that into your rotten and quota Dr brain that millions of you can not stop Biafra and that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is greater than you and your entire generation and the struggle for Biafra is greater and beyond Kanu. 3 Likes |

bigfish3k: People like you are so used to those eastern caves that basic common sense must be interpreted with ethnic pettiness, Igbos in Nigeria have carved a niche that we collectively depend on, I am sure a lot of igbos in the west and elsewhere equally needs the protection of the Nigerian state perhaps from the reprisal of the arrogance of the umuahia lunatic, after all, there is no general consensus on his biafra meat pie. The Nigeria our founding fathers left for us (all the ethnic groups) has a landmass of over 900k square kilometers, it doesn't belong to igbos alone, on that landmass and population, we have built our collective national security, so if you really want to leave, you may consider the option of leaving our landmass intact, you may go to any international waters, sand fill out a private country and name it your Biafra, igbos are wealthy they can afford it, I bet Nigeria will not disturb you, individuals like Richard Branson has made such investments, Countries like china have created private islands from the South china sea, that will be a test of fate for those who really want this biafra. Attempting to take the land mass of all nigerians and convert it to Igbo only territory when other Igbos will have to share the rest of the country with the other tribes, is not only a suicidal but selfish and arrogant thought, one that even an igbo president knows must be met with force. When others ask you to leave, they mean leave with your soul & body but leave our lands behind, Cameroon may not want to sell us theirs neither would Benin republic, i doubt if we have the military might to maintain overseas territories, the reason you got education is to earn some sense, i can see that most of those eastern cave dwellers lack it. 1 Like |

HungerBAD: Yorubas do not understand the Nigerian reality like the Igbos do........and is very very unfortunate. My simple/common sense question to Yorubas and their elites is this: which group have a better/clearer and understanding of an environment? (a) A group whom in their numbers engaging that environment through both vertical and horizontal migratory pattern, indept intermingling through trade, commerce, inter-marriages, buying into real estate and extensive travel experiences of the said environment or (b) A group whom their engagement with the said environment is limited to about half of the first group??. There is no greatness to Nigeria future, as the country is structured today....and any medium European power can bring complete destruction to Nigeria if she really choose to. If certain kind of weapons/finances through a proxy is made available to any one or more of the agitating groups, there goes Nigeria, your lagos and your Eko Atlantic. Britain, France and Europe understand it. In fact, in there own belief, you haven't enter into history. 3 Likes |
