GodIsBiafran:
OP - your map is missing Igbo land area in CrossRiver, AkwaIbom, Benue, Edo and Kogi. No single square inch of Igbo land will be abandoned in the zoo.

pazienza:
OP. Welcome to reality 101.

I personally reached this same conclusion in 2015 after GEJ loss of elections and the backlash Ndiigbo received thereafter.

Any Biafra agitation that does not start and end in SE with open door only to Igboid parts of Delta,, Rivers, Akwa Ibom (Ohaobu), Cross Rivers(Isobo), Benue (Umuezekoha clan) Edo (Igbanke), is a charade and a long con.

The more NK insists on including non Igbos in Biafra, the more I begin to suspect his honesty.

You still haven't realized it's Kanu not Kalu! I don't have time to argue and insult tonight please. Take your correction and stop acting like an idiot.

We have access to our land(riverport) and far as our ship don't dock on naija port or we don't go fishing or drilling within Nigeria waters(which is about 15 miles pass the shoreline)

alphaNomega:


Or we invest heavily in our airforce/airport. Not all goods can be airlifted but we can start from there.

Igboid:


Necessity is the mother of invention.

Ethiopia is a landlocked country. It has forced them to develop their airports and airlines to international standards, and they still make use of neighboring seaports.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
We will be perfectly fine.

gidgiddy:


Biafra has never been an Igbo thing, it is an Eastern Region thing. The last president of Biafra, General Philip Effiong, was not an Igbo man. A referendum should be held and those who vote to leave Nigeria will become Biafrans and those who vote not to leave will continue as Nigerians

Biafra is not about Igbo or any other ethnic group, it is about those who choose to leave Nigeria

alphaNomega:
Seriously I'm trying to envision how a landlocked Biafra 2.0 will fare economically. There are lots of options to succeed but they remain in the realm of dreams.

alphaNomega:


The issue here is that the only neighbor Biafra 2.0 will have is Nigeria and she will do everything in her power to see the economy of Biafra collapse

panigbo:


Good. I just sent you an email with my number.
Plz add me on WhatsApp so we can get the ball rolling

Igboid:


Not exactly true.

I had discussed this before.

For Niger delta to remain in Nigeria post Biafra secession, the North would have to give them some concessions, and one of those would be more regional control/autonomy.

The SS would not be stupid to allow SW to be earning big from Lagos port, while blocking them from doing same by opening up their ports to Igbo business community and making their own money as well.

They would have to be dense to agree to such deal, and I doubt they are.
The North don't care so much about Biafra, all they want is Niger delta crude oil. If we drop non Igbo parts of Niger delta from our struggle, we would not only improve the solidarity within our ranks by removing unwilling partners, we would have decreased resistance from North.

hustleranthem:
I'm glad y'all biafrans have realized that the only way for your agenda to succeed is to make it an all Igbo agenda. In a previous thread, I told the op that 95% of Niger deltans do not support the biafra movement but he chose to argue with me.

It's all about personal interest and every group in Nigeria is fighting for their own agenda. Niger deltans are fighting for their own republic just like you are fighting for Biafra. So any marriage between SS and Biafra is dead on arrival. It won't and will never work.

gwarotango:
Why can't you get it into your thick ibo skull that the only way you will ever get a referendum is after another bloody war? Nobody is going to call you to a roundtable to negotiate the liquidation of the country, you're going to have to shed blood before that will happen. Ask South Sudan

brightokechukwu:

Firstly get your scrawny dirty, leprosy ridden, pathetic Aboki low IQ terrorists self out of a thread where sane people are having a conversation... go do what you are naturally configured to do best... like strap a bomb around you and blow up the next gathering you see as instructed by your paedophilic scum of a prophet. Secondly, you incessantly keep baying for war war war(typical of a blood thirsty Muslim bastard) , civilized people and climes are engineering more intellectual and diplomatic ways in pursuing their ideologies... but if course a typical scoundrel like yourself would won't disappoint with your barbaric mannerisms. If this war you are baying for comes, you go follow fight am? which resources or international support will your useless Nigerian government even get to execute a prolonged war? you think Britain and Russia will come save your asses again? with the political climate and dynamics of Nigeria today, which ethnic groups will even support the North in fighting a war against breakaway Biafra? the middle belt hate your guts now more than ever(thanks to the everyday realities brought on them by Fulani dogs, their eyes don finally open)... is it South South ethnic nationalities that won't hesitate to join any willing alliance in wiping you bastard out that will now join your war? This isn't 1967 when the odds were stacked in your favor.

Aboki use your head for once and think, your government can't even win a war against small Boko haram that have ravaged your accursed region (God bless them) ... If Igbos come together and with one voice and mandate declare they want Biafra, best believe WE WILL GET IT, AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL STOP IT...na just our elites who are benefiting a lot from Nigeria and won't want to lose or stake anything in a new Republic that are holding us back... needless to mention the fact that Igbos have invested too much in Nigeria that many are scared of risking it all... and the issue of lack of unity among Igbos...those are the ONLY factors still keeping us on that sh.ithole, otherwise your lame threats or war is just as laughable as it gets.

gwarotango:
Flat head, flat reasoning

gwarotango:
Flat head, flat reasoning. Nyamirin we will see the time comes for war whether all the trash you've spewed will save you from begging for water once again

brightokechukwu:

See these kuturu clown ... Ogbeni Go and save the humanitarian disasters of dying children due to disease, starvation, and low mortality rate among your useless hordes of accursed people in the North... before you think of the next war to start Aboki nama!!

gwarotango:
Your fathers begged for water while we were killing them, that's why we call you inyamurin. They made a grave mistake. This time around we will piss in bottles and force it down your throats Shege inyamurin drug dealer

brightokechukwu:

It's on record that more Nigerian soldiers died in the war, so it's not far-fetched to deduce that your useless fathers were slaughtered more in numbers. But I digress, fast forward to today which region and its people based on sheer indices of facts, figures, and reality is begging more? Aboki don't even go there, if Emeka's father begged for water, then it's a shame that Emeka the son is buying up all the lands and properties in your region, while fu.ccking all your pretenciously slutty women free of charge, feeding and clothing all the almajiri's all over the North, and dominanting you in all indices of accomplishments known and unknown. Surely the Aboki gene is a cursed one to have if you think about it

horsepower101:


Well said. This is why I said a lot of igbos bought into the years of Nigerian propaganda.

Even the south East is at its current geographical state is not land locked. It has access to the sea through a river that will be internationalized once Biafra comes to fruition.

The tip of Abia state is much closer to the sea than port harcourt.

panigbo:
[/b]

My brother you understand the strategy, Igboland is not the target. [b]As soon as we remove the Niger Delta the North would relax. I think we can use that to request full access of our ships to our land. Remember we have so many Igbo businesses in Nigeria so we have to give them something(Niger Delta) so they dont hurt our businesses

panigbo:
As most of my fellow Igbo brothers/sisters have written on this platform, and many other platforms, for us to achieve our true potential, we need to be free from the leadership method of Nigeria. As most of my concerned Igbo brothers/sisters have pointed out, everything is totally against us.

As traders we don't have access to the world via sea or air without going through another man’s land, which exposes us to all types of extortion and abuse. We can't carry out big ticket investment like rail-lines, sea/river port or even refine our abundant resources like coal, natural gas, crude oil, palm oil and so on, without dealing with the unfavorable federal government. There is almost ZERO foreign direct investment(FDI) in the entire IGBOLAND. All these and more can be traced to the inequality and laws put to set us backwards.

My Big Brother, Nnamdi Kalu noticed that for us to achieve our true potential and be free, we have to secede from Nigeria with our south south(S/S) brothers. I feel most Igbos’ look at the average non-Igbo speaking S/S as his/her fellow brother/sister but that's not the case for them. I can categorically tell you that they feel the opposite, you hardly see a non-Igbo S/S clamoring for Biafra regardless that they have been more exploited and abused than we the Igbos. At the peak of IPOB movement, when Nnamdi Kalu was released on bail a very popular non-Igbo S/S guy asked his fellow country men on facebook if they would like to join Biafra. To my greatest surprise over 85% of them said NO, some even commented that they prefer to be in Nigeria or form their own country without the Igbos. From my further research and investigation, these people only claim united when it favors them - like Goodluck Jonathan election but hate us as much as others do. I asked umu-igbo when have you ever seen a non-Igbo S/S fighting for our right or progress? The relationship is a one-way relation - we are always giving without receiving.

I submit to you today, Nnamdi Kalu style of Biafra is not sustainable. If we want to be free we have to do it alone, we have what it takes to be independent. Based on international law, we have access to the sea. Switzerland is a landlocked nation that is way far from the sea but have a stable economy with even river ports. Rwanda is worse with no access to the sea but its the fastest growing economy is sub-saharan Africa. We have no excuse why we can’t pull out of this toxic relationship.

Granted, there is a huge brain drain in Nigeria but what is worse is the level of brain drain happening in the Igboland. Our very best is leaving Igboland daily to other parts of Nigeria because there is no hope, we lack federal investment in Igboland that would be an incentive to stay back and grow.

I ask:

Do you know if we Igbos leave today we would still be among the top 10 most populous countries in Africa?
Do you know Igboland would be among the top 10 richest countries in Africa?
Do you know Igboland produces more crude oil than Ghana?
Do you know that coal from Enugu can power the whole of West Africa for over 100yrs?
Do you know we have one of the biggest natural gas deposits in the world?
Do you know that countries that never knew what palm oil was, until we showed them now run their economy solely on palm oil production?
Do you know that if Igboland is granted independent we would be the true PAN AFRICAN NATION that has an indigenious language as its official language?

My people let us look inward and fight for our freedom, instead of worrying about who would join us.

I’ve based in America for about 20yrs, there is no incentive for me apart from freeing my people and seeing we achieve what God destined for us. A small united house is far better than a big divided house.
We can do it… let's do it.

The Yorubas don't hide their disdain for the Igbos, no matter how hard they tried to shroud it. I'm glad you noticed how he started with showering praise on the OP, then subtly introduced their normal trade words, bringing Igbos down, and elevating his ethnic group. I wonder if heaven will fall, if these guys leave us alone. '
IPOB should work hard to get Igbos of South South on board, as to move on without issues.
