wirinet: Well if you understand the above then you should understand why Nigeria is a bigger fraud. There was no map of anything called Nigeria either. Nigeria is the fraudulent creation of the white man in West Africa. But where the Biafran agitators are better than Nigerians is that they want a referendum. This time it wont be up to Lord Lugard or Ojukwu to decide who is Nigerian or Biafran but the people themselves. But the Nigerian is insisting that everybody must be the product Lugard. Apart from a sub group of igbos mainly IPOB, MASSO and Biafran Zionists, how many people buy the Biafra idea? You guys always purport to speak for all of SS when you do not even speak for all igbos. That is what referendum is for 2 Likes |

Why not conduct the referendum your instead of waiting for the Zoo to do? If it's going to be conducted by the Zoo, which voter's register will be used or anybody living in the SE will be allowed to vote? Will the millions of Igbos living in Lagos, Kano, Ibadan etc be voting in the referendum or they will vote wherever they are? Will there be options (a) to join Biafra (b) form your own separate country (c) remain as part of Nigeria? Will INEC conduct the referendum? Who will pay for the cost of conducting the election (referendum)? GavelSlam: 4 Likes |

I am not from the proposed Biafra but from the S/West and I am proud of my Yoruba heritage. However, there is no way Biafra will be created without affecting other Nigerians ,hence my concerns. I see no reasons why Biafra can't exist side by side with Nigeria. The two countries (just as Texas merged with the United States and the German kingdoms of Prussiaa and Bavaria merged to form Germany or Tripolitania, Benghazi and Fezzan merged to form Modern Libya) can even merge later on if they so wish.

pazienza: Be smart. Once they divide the Ijaws and the Igbos, the same cabal will try to separate SS Igbos from SE Igbos and after that, they will go for Abia Igbos from Imo Igbos. Keep the enemies at bay by discouraging their divide and conquer tactics. Use your brain and not your anus/mouth. |

Warship: Nothing smart about the fantasy of a heterogeneous Biafra. Charity begins at home. First work on uniting various Igbo speaking clans, especially those at the borders currently threatened by Bini and Ijaw expansionism agenda. When you had fortified your home front, which is Igboland and united it strongly. You can then seek for alliance with other non Igbo groups. What IPOB is doing is putting the cart before the horse, and it's definitely going to blow up in your faces. Stay there and be licking minorities asses. People only unite with powerful sources. You are yet to fortify Igboland and you are busy chasing shadows, how do you expect to earn respect from those minorities? Look at how Asari is insulting Igbo nation because of your misadventures. IYC is In Ndokiland trying to annex a strategic part of Igboland to Ijawland, while IPOB plays the ostrich because it doesnt want to ruffle Ijaw feathers, IPOB has its mouth deep down Ijaw anus to even smell the coffee. I dare say that Ipob is useless to Ndiigbo as it stands as Ipob had refused to protect Igbo interests, soon Igboland might as well be unsafe for Ipob. Be chasing rats while your house is on fire. Last time NK came to Rivers state, he restricted his activities mainly to the only Igbo part of Rivers state called Obigbo because as naive as he looks, he still knows the Ikwerre and Ijaw controllers of PH Anti Igbo stance on issues, so he stayed off main PH city. Next time he will be back and he goes to Obigbo, the Ndoki/Asa people there who have now turned to Ijaw will through the IYC mobilize the military and chase him out! He who doesn't secure homeland first and foremost, while campaigning for alliance with other groups is confuse and senseless. Common sense you lots will not have. Fortify your base which is Igboland first and foremost, chase off the vultures eating at its borders and slowly expand by building a consensus with those neighbors. You leave your home front weak and vulnerable, allow vultures eat it off because you are shameless unity beggars and want to pander to the vultures. I swear,Ipob is turning out to be the worst thing to happen to Ndiigbo in this era, I can't wait for you lots to give way for better organizations who understand how high the stakes are. You want to fight the FG when you don't even have any form of control over Igboland? Madness! Go and listen to Zik address to Igbo union in Aba in 1949. Before Zik could even think of forming alliance with other Nigerian groups to fight the British for independence, Zik united Igboland first and foremost. Ipob deride Zik, yet as naive as Zik was, he was much better strategic thinker. He was first and foremost an Igbo nationalist, before he became a Nigerian Nationalist. https://www.blackpast.org/major_speeches/1949-nnamdi-azikiwe-address-ibo-people/ Ipob today don't even want to hear about Igbo interests if such interests is in conflict with the minorities they are ass licking. If it's possible, Ipob will sacrifice Ndiigbo just to please their minorities they are serving. 6 Likes |

Guestlander: Bros, honestly i am responding to what you said before i have already said it before. There will always be a problem with biafra, it will not become the land of promise of peace or even prosperity the people are claiming it will be. These were my reasons.. 1. The Capital of biafra will be Enugu and surely it will be the focus in terms of allocation and transformation which will not go down well with the Ijaws in the future. 2. The Ijaws will say they are the Oil producers, so they contribute more in terms of money to biafra and should be getting more. 3. The Ijaws and Igbos do not speak same language, so nepotism will never stop. 4. Asari dokubo was just using the Igbos to push for biafra, only for him to one day emerge as a president of the Ijaws. Now it is evident that BIAFRA HAS FAILED OR CAN NEVER WORK OUT, so he his coming after the same people he tried to form forces with so that the Ijaws can come out of Nigeria. The fight is all about crude Oil.. Period! I already said onve braifra work out, there will be another referendum within biafra because the Ijaws will revolt. The Igbos will be left with nothing. I watched a video where Nnamdi Kalu was saying ....we have crude Oil, we have gas.. etc, when he was speaking with an ambassador from turkey. I repeat, it's all about crude Oil. Money!! Money!! Money!! They are just using poor innocent igbo youth. Those who died for IPOB, wetin dem gain? I knew it was foolishness to die because there is no hero in this part of the world oo. Same Ojukwu people saw as a hero, they later called him a coward. Let Nnamdi Kalu surface one day, they will call him coward too. Igbos need to seek something else rather than referendum. 1 Like 1 Share |

laribari: What do you mean by the Igbos will be left with nothing if Ijaws revolt? Nothing can be farther from the truth. Saddly, it's this lazy mentality that ruined and ensured Nigeria will remain a failure. What develops a nation is human capital and unity of purpose which can only be achieved when the people are of same cultural background united by common descent and Language. Rwanda is landlocked and is doing quite well without crude oil, likewise Ethiopia, which lost her sea access to Eritrea. If ipob leaders are counting on crude oil to run Biafra, then they are jokers, as I don't see how much the crude oil in Bayelsa has benefitted the people. Crude oil is good, but it's not the ultimate, as Rwanda is showing the world IPOB set themselves up for failure when they decided to ignore Igbo unification project and are more interested in wild goose chase of pandering to minorities all over SS and even shockingly NC Biafra is not IPOB or Ojukwu. Biafra is the Igbo spirit. And as long as the Igbo exists on this green planet earth, the Biafra dream will live on, a better group will rise one day, who would learn from the mistakes of the predecessors and get it right. Until then, Biafra will live on in Igbo hearts. Igboland was balkanized immediately after the civil war with seeds of hate and distrust sowed between us and our Igbo /Igboid speaking brothers in SS. Any body who intends to get us biafra would first have to unite Igboland again, thereafter , we can decide to go at it alone as independent Igboland or try to form a confederate with neighboring non Igbo speaking groups. But what ipob is doing is try to play the ostrich, by pretending it can bypass the first process, which is Igbo unification. By the way, no Igbo person well breast fed who isn't looking for contracts from Nigeria or jobs from Nigerian friends would ever open mouth and call Ojukwu a coward. Ojukwu is the only one and true Igbo leader and he was and is still well respected all over Igboland. So you might need to get your points right. If you think Ojukwu was a coward, you are entitled to your own opinions, but don't you dare try to pass off your Igbophobic opinions as a consensus amongst Ndiigbo. Ojukwu earned the title of Eze Igbo gburugburu, we don't give such to people we think are cowards. 5 Likes |

You are absolutely correct. An ethnic group and a country may NOT necessarily coincide. All Greek peoples are not indigenous to one country. Greek peoples in varying percentages can be found in Greece, Macedonia, Turkey and Cyprus. The Coptic peoples are indigenous to Egypt, Libya and Sudan The Yorubas are indigenous to Nigeria, Benin Republic and Togo. Ethnic Germans are in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Czech Republic. In fact, it was the attempt by Adolf Hitler to annex other Countries with sizeable German populations that led to the Second World War. wirinet: 1 Like |
