Jamnocase:
The main reason why Biafrans have not succeeded in their quest for independence is not just because the Hausas or the Yorubas are against them, but rather, because their own so called brothers and leaders are working against them. These their so called leaders have sold them out in order to buy a future for themselves and their families and the will do anything humanly possible to maintain the status quo.

Good point..

Dtribeless:
The Igbo nation has the most to lose from the arrangement you prescribe. Millions of Igbos would have to leave their properties behind and move back to the confines of Igboland. Igbos live with other tribes the most, even though the ignorant ones complain all the time. All Igbo billionaires/millionaires would have to go back to zero, except their wealth is not in Naira. This silliness (I want my own space!!!) would not end well. Are your Igbo governors not stealing funds like the Fulanis/Yoruba governors? Are they bringing any development to Igboland that is not seen in other regions? If they are, then why don't Igbo's stay home?

Very Wrong about properties. Igbos who identify with the new country will become foreigners in Nigeria and will be foreign investors just like other foreigners that own houses and businesses in Nigeria today. There is no difference but I have this feeling that blind hatred towards igbos will create double standards.

Nonaira3:
OP biko thank you. Apart from the greedy political saboteurs, we have in that shithole, which Igbo man is against Igbos living Niggeria. I actually had this exact conversation with my father yesterday. During the conversation, my pops narrated s One thing my pops mentioned that is very much accurate. Niggeria have been in existence for over 100 years now, other nations make progress after few years of existence even if hindered by a war, example Anogla, Rwanda, etc but Niggeria have yet to show any signs of ever improving. Infact, we started downgrading the second whites left the nation which speaks alot on the underdevelopment of Niggerians and their capacity despite deceiving themselves they are better than other Africans. I personally, I say we have tried Niggeria for two long and what have Igbos benefitted from being in this "country"? Nothing. They repeatedly state, "oh you'll leave this vast market, for small market". What is the use of a vast market that has no future? Shit, our ancestors did not trade with the majority of the tribes in Nigeria and they did not die; likewise, thanks to modern day technology, Igbos have access to the entire world. Whenever I see a person talks about "Nigeria gives you more business customers", I wonder whether that person was born with head straight at all. A good businessman knows that online trading is extremely profitable. For me, I always say if Niggeria is so confident that majority of Igbos want Niggeria, excluding "touts, criminals and unemployed youths." then they will not be afraid of a simple thing as a referendum. A person is afraid of anything simple as such when they know what they tell themselves is straight delusions and they are terrified of the real answer and that's a fact.

In fact, Niggeria is the only nation I've ever seen in my entire life which blames a specific set of people for their problems yet too terrified to allow those "problems" leave their shithole. I wonder why. They stupidly hide under the claim "they taking the SS minorities with them, just go by SE" For one, I'm a SS Igbo and I know I rather die the most painful death imaginable than stay in "one Niggeria" if SE leave alone. There is no doubt the rest of Igbos in the SS area think the exact same way; I can't speak for the minorities on the other hand, personally I speak against them being included in Biafra honestly. Anyway even at that, till this very fucking day, I repeatedly wondered in what way, shape or form is asking for a "Referendum to allow the people to choose" imply "taking away by force."? Sometimes I wonder why Niggerians delude themselves as highly educated. The logic of Niggeria explains the reason why schooling in Niggeria is looked as mediocre by everyone including in other African countries. Their illogical sense keeps me in awe most of the times.

My brother the way these people reason like animals always baffles me. I always wonder what their IQ level may be.

Roger3D:
How are you Igbos a 'people' according to that UN statue? You are no more than a single ethnic group within a UN member state. Before colonial rule you were not a sovereign nation state. The UN promulgated that statue in the wake of the decolonization of the third world, and has applied it sparingly ever since. The world doesn't consider you a people and hence relegates your agitation to where it rightfully belongs: The gutter

See question from a supposed grown man.

Although there's no common definition of "people" thus far according to the UN. According to research, the Criteria for the definition of "people having the right of self-determination" was proposed during 2010 Kosovo case decision of the International Court of Justice: 1. traditions and culture 2. ethnicity 3. historical ties and heritage 4. language 5. religion 6. sense of identity or kinship 7. the will to constitute a people 8. common suffering. All of which Igbos fall under

If u go to their villages, You would see massive structures there, They would loose, but not much

saw the comment n laughed.... he doesn't know what he is talking about!!! Even if they indeed lose, there is always room for innovation n improvement!! Igbo people r very well known 4 that!!

Igbos can survive anywhere, just make the place to be hospitable for them

So Igbos should abandon an internal market of 198 million people? Do you know many industrialized countries whish they had such a large internal market?

Which kind nonsense talk be this naaa

horsepower101:
Op I Agree with you 100%. We need to strategize on how to have our own NATION for the sake of our future generations. I strongly believe that it is my generation that will make it happen.

Yes, by talking less and preparing more.

why the heck are you telling me that. If you want to read the original judgement then either 1.) google the case the statement mentioned or 2.) Seek the UN self determination page on Wikipedia, go down to area writing for defining people, go directly to the statement written, click their reference and read. It's just that simple.

Paste a credible link of the entire judgement so I can study it in full, don't pick out sections of it that supposedly buttress your position. You accused me of being illiterate, oya prove your position

Preshy561:

Wrong.

Igbos should constitute itself into a powerful voting bloc capable of swinging results in a candidate's favour. Once that is done, Igbos have a more solid bargaining position to demand certain things.

You see, the nonsense happening to Igbos in Nigeria would be extended to Igbos when they form Biafra.

I think one major factor that would shape a lot of things is: on whose terms would Biafra be formed? If you look up to the miscreants in Nigeria to give you freedom, it would never come. Even if they grudgingly give you, it would come with ridiculously terrible conditions.

Freedom is not granted on a platter of gold, you have to sweat and fight for it. Civil disobedience is the way to go.

You flat headed baby factory fool there is nothing in that article that buttresses your point. Where did the ICJ make those definitions you claim? Where is the complete judgement you semi-literate fool?

Let me add my voice to my brothers.
1. We need to start a new movement like IPOB and Massob. However this movement will not be called Biafra. It will be called Igbo nationalism movement. It will not include non Igbos. (Not yet anyway)

2. We need to get big Igbo names on board. Ezekwesili, Soludo etc. They need to be the face of the movement.

3. The activities of the movement will include radio propaganda (without insulting anyone), tv propaganda, newspaper (propaganda), blogs and social media.

4. We need to unite Massob, IPoB, Zionist movement and other Biafran agitators to this movement. The united faction leaders need to be given visible roles in the new movement.

5. We need to (through the efforts of the movement leaders) first of all pressure the Ohaneze to pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos in Nigeria. Then we pressure state houses of assemblies to also pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos. Then we pressure governors to adopt these motions. Next would be to get members of the national assembly of Igbo origin to introduce a motion in both houses, calling for a referandum for Igbos. (I dont expect the motion to pass in the national assembly)

6. We would then push for the Igbo nation to be recognised within Nigeria as an authonomous region. And For a premeire to be elected for the Igbo nation and recognised by govt, and for the premirer to be the head of an Igbo regional govt. And for the Igbo regional govt be able to manage resouces found in Igboland and pay a percantage to FG And also for matters such as power and energy; local policing; census and statistic collection to be delegated to the premiere and the Igbo regional govt.

7. We would go like this for a long time as an autonomous entity within one Nigeria (like hong kong, qubec or scotland etc), and then finally seek full independence from Nigeria as The Republic of Igboland. We may make certain concessions to Nigeria (for a start). Such as continuing to use the Naira; joining ECOWAS; Signing trade agreements and Maritime agreements with Nigeria; allowing free movements of people across the border and allowing for dual citizenships for Nigerians living in Igboland and vice verser.

8. We would then revisit the Niger Delta region and seek aliance if they are willing.

When we get independence, we should do away with the 5 state structure and remove all sorts of classification. We should take Igbo as one nation...one tribe....one people. No 'he is from Nsuka or from abakaliki' talk.
We would also be a democracy and republic like our fore fathers.
And if the Niger Delta joins us, we should integrate them well into the politics of the nation and then probably change our name to Biafra or any other one.
Dalu nu.

Even when provided this complete m0ron the book referenced which came DIRECTLY from ICJ, this incompetent Savage goat still have difficulty to read.

It is obvious you are more mentally deranged than your father who didn't know how to use condoms, which could have saved the human race of this severe form of stupidity that you clearly have and trying to spread. Go and buy a brain that you severely lack or better yet, kill a goat and use it's own. it's better than nothing.

Oh while I'm at it since Three references as well as a book from an ICJ judge are all false according to your illiterate ass, tell us the definition of people by the UN status of self-determination and provide any references that agrees with you. We are waiting for over an hour now

Good idea

selemempe:
2. We need to get big Igbo names on board. Ezekwesili, Soludo etc. They need to be the face of the movement.

Good idea. However, it shouldn't be dependent on one person or a personality. If Ipob had more than one central rallying force, it wouldn't be in coma today.

selemempe:
3. The activities of the movement will include radio propaganda (without insulting anyone), tv propaganda, newspaper (propaganda), blogs and social media.

Especially that part about not insulting anyone. Don't wish harm to anyone or group, it breeds more opposition to the cause.
Propaganda is also very powerful. Imagine showing a picture of Igbo children with padlocks on their mouths and putting it on social media on Nigeria's Independence day.

selemempe:
4. We need to unite Massob, IPoB, Zionist movement and other Biafran agitators to this movement. The united faction leaders need to be given visible roles in the new movement.

Let them be limited to mobilisation and demonstrations. Let lawyers also advise people on conduct before demonstrations. During demonstrations Red Cross members should be present with ambulances.

selemempe:
5. We need to (through the efforts of the movement leaders) first of all pressure the Ohaneze to pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos in Nigeria.

Next would be to get members of the national assembly of Igbo origin to introduce a motion in both houses, calling for a referandum for Igbos. (I dont expect the motion to pass in the national assembly)

See,the Ohaneze is a clog in the wheel of Biafran independence. If you include them, they'll sell you out.
Also, your other points here are unattainable because of the Nigerian constitution.

If you want to do anything in this line, firstly ensure that only political leaders committed to the Biafran course are elected into positions both in the SE and nationally.

selemempe:
6. We would then push for the Igbo nation to be recognised within Nigeria as an authonomous region. And For a premeire to be elected for the Igbo nation and recognised by govt, and for the premirer to be the head of an Igbo regional govt. And for the Igbo regional govt be able to manage resouces found in Igboland and pay a percantage to FG And also for matters such and power and energy; local policing; census and statistic collection to be delegated to the premiere and the Igbo regional govt.

All these ones are unattainable within the present operating unit. It's either you push for independence or not, no mixing things up.

This one are compulsory for Biafra to perform because if Biafra fails to do so, Other units in Nigeria may decide to reciprocate and a blockade on Biafra would be an unnecessary price to pay for lack of tact.

I hate to bring you bad news but it is going to be very difficult to do the above. That 'we are superior to you' sentiment was what killed Ipob in Anambra during the elections.
The only way to stop this is to place a heavy punishment on discrimination and ostracism.

Madness.

You want to trade your present future for a future that may never come to pass.

You want to jeopardize the future of igbo children in Nigeria on the altar of rascality , foolishness and arrogance.

smh.

gidgiddy:
Note to the mods: This discussion is about independence and self determination which are legitimate and legal rights enshrined under international law espoused under article 1 of the UN charter and article 20(1) of the African charter, which Nigeria is a signatory to and allows any group of people the right to seek independence from the country they belong to. This has nothing to do with secession(before you people start looking for who to ban)

I would have prefared to write this in Igbo but I understand that there are Igbos out there who may not be proficient in Igbo, particularly those born and raised outside Igbo land. Never the less, I will say Igbo bu Igbo!, anam ekene. Onye na nke ya, onye na nke ya. Chukwu dube anyi, n'ofu n'ofu.

My great Igbo nation, and by this I mean the people indigenous to southern Nigeria who speak Igbo or a variant of it as their ancestral language, bound by a similar culture, bloodlines, tradition, custom, norms and Judeo-Christian beliefs. In 1897, a woman called Flora Shaw came up with name called "Nigeria". In 1914, Flora Shaws husband, Frederick Lugard incorporated us and our ancestral land into an international merger of ethnic groups into Nigeria. Suddenly, ethnic groups we barely knew and had no historical association with such Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis became our supposed "brothers". The hundred years that was to follow this amalgamation has been froth with tribalism, pogrom, ethnic and religious bias, civil war, ethnic supremacist battles, suspicion and many more ills. It is now clear even to a blind man that the 1914 union of Nigeria was a disasterous mistake. While we cannot change the past, we can definitely do something about the future.

IT IS TIME FOR US IGBOS TO ASPIRE TO OUR OWN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY!

I wish to add here that this aspiration can be with or without the ethnic groups that border Igbo land such as Ijaws, Efiks, Ogoja, Ogoni etc. So long as it is by mutual consent of all parties.

The great Igbo nation has a lot to gain by being an independent country.
1) we restructure our nation however we like
2) we free our selves politically from whatever the Northern oligarchy or Yorubas think
3) we sign new bilateral agreements with the rest of the world
4) we take control of our resources
5) We develop a truly people's oriented constitution
6) we free our selves from the terrorism of Boko Haram and Herdsmen which Nigeria has become synonymous with
7) we take back our borders and waters
we will no longer be bound by the false manual called the Nigerian constitution.
9) we reclaim our sovereignty that was stolen in 1914(Briefly reclaimed by the great Ojukwu in 1967)


Nigeria is failed state, it will take nobody nowhere. No matter who wins elections, now or in the future, the country is doomed. A country that has no commonality, no unifying ethos, no unity of purpose, inequality, divided by ethnic leanings, religious bias and separate value systems. It will never work, not now or ever.

So I say to: The Ika-Igbo nation!, The Ikwerre-Igbo nation! The Izzi/Ezza-Igbo nation! The Wawa-Igbo nation! The Ohuhu-Igbo nation! The Umueze-Okoha Igbo nation! The Aro-Igbo nation! The Eha-Igbo nation!The Ijekebe- Igbo nation to which I belong and all the sub-national Igbo communities out there..........

Aspire to independence! Reject the failure called Nigeria! Express your right of self determination! Seek a new beginning! You are too big to be begging for restructuring or anything inside Nigeria! You are too big for any political position in Nigeria.

Ogwucha ka oham n'onu.

NWERE-ONWE!(SELF-DETERMINATIO!)

You have written like a red-blooded Igbo person. You could not be more correct in your assertions. However, the sketched map that accompanied the write up needs redacted. AlaIgbo is bigger than what you have shown.

Are they bringing any development to Igboland that is not seen in other regions? If they are, then why don't Igbo's stay home?

Did Nigerians loose their properties in Ghana when Nigeria gained independence? If any country that had Igbo properties and chose to be foolish will accept reprisal.

DerideGull:

You are trying to be rational in the face of irrationality.

We are talking about savages here not citizens of a western democracy.

Even under one naijeria, these savages never hide their hate for the igbo people. Imagine what they would do outside that umbrella.

If you want independence, you have to forget your properties because it will be lost. That is inevitable.

Go home, build a strong economy and military in 10-20 years and then slowly regain lost territories like china is doing to Japan.

DerideGull:
Did Nigerians loose their properties in Ghana when Nigeria gained independence? If any country that had Igbo properties and chose to be foolish will accept reprisal.

They seized properties in present day Rivers nd Bayelsa states during the war. What happened? Nothing.

Which reprisal? You want a new country to build its foundations by reprisals and brickbats?

How may non Igbos have properties in the SE? You want to fight those who have nothing to lose?

See, you'll be shocked at what even the SS guys would do to Biafra. It's a dog eat dog world bro.

selemempe:
Let me add my voice to my brothers.

I apologize I missed this.

1. We need to start a new movement like IPOB and Massob. However this movement will not be called Biafra. It will be called Igbo nationalism movement. It will not include non Igbos. (Not yet anyway)

I agree with this excluding the "not yet" part. Non Igbos should not be included at all indefinitely if you ask me.

2. We need to get big Igbo names on board. Ezekwesili, Soludo etc. They need to be the face of the movement.

Ezekwesili especially and she should be the easiest to support the movement considering the I'll treatment she received from the Nigeria despite sticking her head out for them.

3. The activities of the movement will include radio propaganda (without insulting anyone), tv propaganda, newspaper (propaganda), blogs and social media.

True. Personally, I think Buhari treatment to Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram in comparison to IPOB should be highlighted and distributed to every body able Igbo child, woman and man. Other things I know that works is actually NL. Since I've been screenshoting the statements on this forum and spreading to all one Nigeria Igbos I know personally and even inviting them to this forum to see how the people he or she wants to share a nation really thinks about them. I can tell you that I've lost count how many I've turned with that way really. I think finding a way to displaying to each Igbo how the "Nigerian brethren" really view them should be utilized.

4. We need to unite Massob, IPoB, Zionist movement and other Biafran agitators to this movement. The united faction leaders need to be given visible roles in the new movement.

True

5. We need to (through the efforts of the movement leaders) first of all pressure the Ohaneze to pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos in Nigeria. Then we pressure state houses of assemblies to also pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos. Then we pressure governors to adopt these motions. Next would be to get members of the national assembly of Igbo origin to introduce a motion in both houses, calling for a referandum for Igbos. (I dont expect the motion to pass in the national assembly)

Ohaneze does not care for Igbos. All they care about is increasing their pockets. Please remove them from your mind

6. We would then push for the Igbo nation to be recognised within Nigeria as an authonomous region. And For a premeire to be elected for the Igbo nation and recognised by govt, and for the premirer to be the head of an Igbo regional govt. And for the Igbo regional govt be able to manage resouces found in Igboland and pay a percantage to FG And also for matters such and power and energy; local policing; census and statistic collection to be delegated to the premiere and the Igbo regional govt.
