Well done my brother. I am impressed you are stimulating intellectual debate on the biafra question and not insults, threats and blackmail as employed by Kanu and his IPOB group. I am even none has called you efulefu, slave or afonja, maybe they are becoming more restraint.
Before I continue let me disagree with some of your narrative.
First, there is no record of massacres of Igbos in Lagos and in the West. Such unfounded allegations would be taken as malicious lies by the yorubas, it was in the north that Igbos were being massacred. If you have any reference to Igbos being massacred in Lagos in 1966 - 67, please educate us.

Secondly, I do not see the direct connection between the massacre or Igbos in other parts of Nigeria with declaration of Biafra. Yes, it was unfortunate and even criminal that Igbos were being massacred, and General Gowon did or could not stop it (the same thing that Gowon himself accused General Ironsi and hence his counter coup. He accused General Ironsi of not prosecuting the January 1966 murderers).
But, the Aburi accord was not about stopping the massacre of Igbos, it was about granting the south east under Ojukwu autonomy. The Aburi accord would not have stopped the Igbos massacres. It would have only made Ojukwu not be under the authority of Gowon.

As someone said, every tribe has different narrative of the war. Every body feels like victim and saw the others as aggressors.

KANU don't insult or blackmail any body... What is happening is that he calls a spade a spade..he doesn't muddy words, he tells things exactly the way they are...which evil people like the zoo called Nigeria and their hopless inhabitants hates so much...for instance he calls Nigeria a zoo, which is 100 percent correct, he calls Yoruba media evil for always failing to write about the evils going on in Nigeria and even helping to cover it, which is also 100 percent truth, he calls hausa funlanis barbaric blood thirsty backward thinking power mongers, which is equally 100 percent truth...so where is the blackmail ? Is there anything he said that is not 100 percent truth ?

Most of you still don't understand how the world operates today, we all knew how the Holocaust and WW2 started, name calling of the Jewish race and others, the Rwandan genocide started with name calling as well.
Zik and others signed for independence for the country and didn't go about calling the Brits names, it was negotiated in good faith by both parties.
Funny enough and as Nigeria stands today, your name calling only distances your chances of getting what you want even if all Igbos back you because other Nigerians combined have a greater number and won't allow such, you call them names and you expect support.
Just go get your weapons if you are ready to leave Nigeria but don't repeat the mistake Ojukwu made with no adequate preparation

I tire for their hate speeches thinking it would give them the Biafra they want. They mostly think the more insults and hate speeches on Igbos and other Nigerians who do not agree with their ideology, the better their chances of getting what they want.

This your last post clearly showed that your understanding of the issues at stake is very shallow.

1) Nigeria did not seceed from Britian in 1960. British Colonialism was a period of Foreign rule of indigenous people sustained by military might of the colonialists.

It was a foreign occupation which naturally is bound to be resented by the natives and couldn't have lasted forever. The British knew this from the onset.

2) The opposition to British rule started almost immediately after the advent of colonial rule with Dr Obasa and prominent educated Yoruba elites forming the first Political party , The Peoples's Union in 1909 to galvanized the natives to demand to self rule.

3) Herbert Macaulay and Dr Azikiwe weren't just leaders of pressure groups organizing protests against British rule, they metamorphosed to Political leaders.
They formed Political parties (NNDP in 1922 by Macaulay, NCNC in 1946 by Macaulay, Zik, Adewoyin, Olorunnimbe, Michael Imodu &others), contested and won elections to legitimize their aspirations.

3) They sought mandates from the peoples (Conference of ethnic groups in 1950 at Ibadan) where demands for self rule was made loud and clear.
4) Between 1952-1959, several constitutional conferences were held by the Traditional, elected and Political leaders of all the peoples in Nigeria to reach an agreement on independence.

5) The elected Representatives of the colonized peoples became the most vocal campaigners of independence.

In 1953, Hon Tony Enahoro of the Action Group (AG) moved on the floor of the House of REPRESENTATIVES the first motion for the independence of Nigeria by 1956. This didn't go down well with the Northern People's Congress (NPC) members who strongly opposed the motion.

Hon Fani-Kayode

How do you think Herbert Macaulay, Zik and others got Nigerias independence from Britain? It was by foing the same thing Kanu is doing now. They denounced British rule and mass-mobilised the people to come out and demand freedom. It when the British saw that there was massive support for independence that they knew that the game was up.

For anyone or group to come out and seek independence, and be taken seriously, they must first show that they have the backing of the people. Kanu cannot start going to Governors and lawmakers asking them to work for a Biafran referendum without showing he has support, nobody would take him serious.

Kanu was in the process of mobilising the people through his radio station, speeches, rallies and protest when the authorities clamped down on him, locked him up, gave him bail, used python dance to chase him away then declared him a terrorist

If Miyetti Allah want their own state, let them go and mobilise the people to come out for that

If OPC wants a state, let them go and drum up support amongst their people for that cause to prove that this is what they want





So your argument is baseless

Hon Remilekun Fani-Kayode (the father of FFK) of the Action Group in 1956 moved another motion for independence which again was thwarted by the NPC leadership.

It was after much persuation, horse trading and negotiation with the leaders of the North and the minorities that every body agreed on independence by 1960, hence

Hon SL Akintola of the Action Group finally moved the successful motion for independence in 1959. This was successful.

You are referring to a colonial government that was indeed the best government Nigeria had ever had. They gave EAR to the NEEDS and ASPIRATIONS of the people. That was a Nigeria that WAS working and INCLUSIVE. The Nigeria of today isn't working. The political system is a sham. YOU KNOW THIS. stop living in denial.

Today you can't even openly aspire for Biafra let alone bringing it to a Nigerian body. Its like a taboo to them. They won't even entertain the thought of it. Who is fooling who?

Calling Nigeria a failed state or fantastically corrupt is quite different from calling Nigerians animals or Yoruba Bastards or funlanis barbaric blood thirsty backward thinking power mongers. If any country's leader should spew such, it will certainly spark a diplomatic row.

You can start from somewhere, the people of Scotland, Catalonia, Québec, Belgium etc didn't just have a referendum inserted in their different nation's constitutions because a group of people wanted it so.
They formed parties and had/have representatives in both their regional and national parliaments who speak for them and their call for referendum at any time is seen as legitimate unlike Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB who refused to do same to make their cause legitimate as well.
How do you say you speak for a people when there isn't any proof that the people wanted you to speak for them in this modern world.
That of Catalonia was clamped down by the Spanish government even if the process the people went about it was legitimate, how much more that of IPOB that is illegitimate.

Catalonia at least freely flies their flag without intimidation. The clamp down was as a result of unilateral declaration when some top guns from Catalonia rejected the idea.

It is irrelevant, the point that needed to be made was that Igbos were being massacred, this thread is simply trying to highlight the situation on ground that made the Igbos take the decision to unilaterally declare the independent Republic of Biafra.

I cannot even answer the question even if I wanted to because as a victim, I can only second guess or speculate on the motives of the perpetrators of the massacres which would likely vary from one region to another.
The main thing to understand that there is no justifiable reason ever of massacre of innocent men women and children.

stop beating around the bush and give a straight answer. Nigerians didnt just wake up one day and start killing Ibos, if you are ashamed to speak about the incidence that is understandable. saying there is no justifiable reason for any massacre is an indictment of Ibos because they actually started the massacre by killing political and military leaders of the other regions and sparing igbo political leaders and military leaders, that is the truth

We have already started from somewhere since 1967 and we shall continue till we achieve our aim. The world knows that there was a country call Biafra and its now being restored.

The red quote is the paradox of the century. The colonial government was the best government for the British, but it was the worst government for the locals. How many infrastructures did the British build to favour Nigerians? How many schools did they build, how many universities? The only infrastructures they build was to aid their exploitation of raw materials from the hinterland to the ports. The only education they provided us apart from religious, was to train as clerks and administrative staffs to aid exploitation of raw materials and governance. No technical or science education was encouraged. We were groomed to be providers of raw materials and consumers of finished goods.

Do you care why Boko haram is massacaring people? It can never be justified so there is no point.

When herdsmen go out and massacre communities, nobody cares about the reason because massacre is never justified

Nothing on earth ever justifies the killing of unarmed and defenceless men, women and children. Only a fool will be looking for a reason to justify the mass-murder of people.

yet people like you were agitating for the bringing back of history in our schools, do you think in the 'history of biafra war' the cause of disaffecction against the igbos will not be taught? it will be not because they are trying to justify the massacre of ibos but because that was what happened, other nigerians didnt just wake up one day and start killing igbos, it was as a result of the 'igbo coup' that killed leaders of other tribes while sparing their own leaders to rule over the rest of Nigerians....IGBONIZATION was the precursor to FULANIZATION & ISLAMIZATION

We have already started from somewhere since 1967 and we shall continue till we achieve our aim. The world knows that there was a country call Biafra and its now being restored. If Nigeria wants us to go back to 67 then we have no choice than to go but this time in a 2019 pattern. The world is watching
The world is watching both sides(one is legitimate, the other is not) and the world will support the legitimate side. The struggle should be made legitimate in the eyes of the world so that there could be reason to ask for its support

stop beating around the bush and give a straight answer. Nigerians didnt just wake up one day and start killing Ibos, if you are ashamed to speak about the incidence that is understandable. saying there is no justifiable reason for any massacre is an indictment of Ibos because they actually started the massacre by killing political and military leaders of the other regions and sparing igbo political leaders and military leaders, that is the truth
Now justify the fact that the killing carried out by few soldiers should be attached to innocent Igbos.
When the so called Igbo coup happened was there any killing from the Igbo civilians But after the counter coup the Nigerian people went after the Igbo civilians killing them as if we killed you guys after the 1st coup.
You cannot justify that .

The red quote is the paradox of the century. The colonial government was the best government for the British, but it was the worst government for the locals. How many infrastructures did the British build to favour Nigerians? How many schools did they build, how many universities? The only infrastructures they build was to aid their exploitation of raw materials from the hinterland to the ports. The only education they provided us apart from religious, was to train as clerks and administrative staffs to aid exploitation of raw materials and governance. No technical or science education was encouraged. We were groomed to be providers of raw materials and consumers of finished goods.
You are exactly on point here.

You are making the same mistake by comparing independence from a colonial empire with secession from a sovereign country.


Do you know what the same British did to the Irish People for daring to seceed after almost 8 centuries of subjugation, annexation and assimilation?


No Country willingly and openly support it's own break-up by granting the demand of a pressure group.

You are referring to a colonial government that was indeed the best government Nigeria had ever had. They gave EAR to the NEEDS and ASPIRATIONS of the people. That was a Nigeria that WAS working and INCLUSIVE. The Nigeria of today isn't working. The political system is a sham. YOU KNOW THIS. stop living in denial.

Today you can't even openly aspire for Biafra let alone bringing it to a Nigerian body. Its like a taboo to them. They won't even entertain the thought of it. Who is fooling who?

Some of you actually think you are informed but in reality, you are charlatans.

The world knows that there is freedom to self determination. The world is watching as a Nigerian you choose what you want to hear but me a Biafran knows more than you in what I support just like I was created for this course.
