IGBOSON1:


I knew a known bigot and Igbo hater like you would be found on a thread like this!

Dude, all you’ve been waffling about ever since on this thread amounts to nada! Nigeria with its present political-economy that sees bigots, semi-illiterates and Igbo haters calling the shots would cease to exist, and so talking of ‘one Nigeria’ trying to frustrate Biafra/Igbo economy for no reason other than pure hate and ethnic bigotry/supremacy....such a possibility is DOA!

Assuming in the unlikely event our neighbours like Efik/Ibibio/Annang, Opobo, etc, elect to stay behind in Nigeria with you hateful lot who believe the country belongs to you, do you honestly see a situation where they will sit down in a meeting with you....hear your evil plot on how to frustrate the newly emergent nation, and acquiesce to your plans without telling you to go fuc’k yourself!?

Area4Area:
A 3 year war where 3 million civilians were lost, not 3 but 3 million. If you want a repeat, try again and this time 20-30 million are going.

You're not a lawyer so go read more about it, it's all over the internet. I said all individual buildings and properties would be lost and not corporate entities, those ones would have to re-register as foreign corporate entities in Nigeria, taxed and treated as such.

Nigeria has shut her borders with several countries, sue Nigeria for that in the UN and ECOWAS. Seems you don't understand world politics, you mean you have no prior agreement to use her seaports and waterways including her territorial water at sea and you're quoting all these, I hope your Biafra don't get to fruition if no agreement with Nigeria on that.

Niger republic is landlocked and Nigeria sealed her border with her, let you, Kanu, IPOB and the Niger government sue Nigeria at the UN, ICJ, ECOWAS, EU and AU courts.

It's not necessarily about property or investment in a democratic country, it's more about the person that owned the property or investment in a democratic country. If visa is not granted the foreigner, how will the property or investment in a democratic country be managed?
When UK delayed in renewing the visa of Romans Abahaminovic despite owning billions in property and investments in the UK, what did he do, he relocated to Israel.

What happens to all their properties and investments in Nigeria if Nigeria deports all Biafrans and slam a travel ban on them?

jimyjames:

But you know asaba is owned by the anioma Igbo people, enuani , ika, ikwerre, epkeye, the oil rich places in river's and Delta are all occupied by Igboid tribes and all these tribes are members of the Igbo national Assembly now known as ohanaeze , Nigeria knows this, if Igbo is going to separate as a nation, all our Igboid tribes will be carved back to us like it was before, federal government devided it

We will be alright as an Igbo Nation if Nigeria should give us all our tribes

amuwo1980:

Stupidity cannot begin to describe you, yes that 40 million that will go will comprise essentially of u and your siblings, the war u are envisaging this time will not be fought just in the south east, lagos, Abuja, illesha, ibadan, akure, sokoto ,Jos etc will all be battle fields

Area4Area:
What he was saying flew over you, he's only saying that Igbos would now be foreigners in Nigeria.

You'd now need a passport and visa to enter Nigeria( PH, Uyo, Yenagoa, Warri, Calabar etc are all Nigeria) and Biafra would be surrounded by Nigeria.

Since you'd be surrounded by Nigeria, import and export to and from Biafra now depends on the goodwill of Nigeria. Entry of Biafrans into Nigeria and their movement would be strictly controlled by Nigeria

Nigeria would veto Biafra's entry into ECOWAS and Biafrans in these countries would be made to go get their papers and visas.

Nigeria could decide to close her border with Biafra(Benin and Niger reps comes to mind).

These are some of the the things the man was trying to say, remember that these are existing Nigerian laws, Nigeria isn't creating a new law to spite or punish Biafrans, just extending same laws to them since they're now foreigners.

Alien land act would be extended to Biafrans and all their properties all over Nigeria would be seized.

That Igbos don't feel it now is because they are still Nigerian citizens.

Malawian:

Are you talking about how you will be a foreigner in Nkpor?

Area4Area:
About you being an illegal immigrant in Lagos, you'd be arrested, detained and deported to Biafra. You'd be an illegal immigrant in Uyo, Calabar, PH, Warri as well.

Malawian:

We have 3 houses in Biafra, You don't even know anywhere beyond headbridge after you ran away from South West all those years ago.

Area4Area:
Nigeria is a democratic republic and these laws are in operation for now, what makes you think that Biafrans that are now foreigners and aliens would be exempted?
According to Nigeria's alien land act, only corporate companies can buy land and own properties, no private foreigner can, so private Igbo land and property owners would lose all. MTN, Shell etc are free to have properties in Nigeria because these are foreign corporate companies but no foreign individual can, not even the owner of the company.

Botswana, Ethiopia, Switzerland, Austria etc doing better than Nigeria today have agreements with their neighbours with sea access, what agreement does Biafra have in that regard with Nigeria, none.

Biafran students in Nigerian higher institutions would be made to go get their papers and student's Visa's and must pay twice or thrice what Nigerians pay.

Nigeria could decide to redesign her currency after some months and your naira would no longer be acceptable in Nigeria. Some say you'd print Biafran pounds and it would be at par with the British pound and I laugh, what gold or foreign reserve do you have to back up the value? It would tumble like the Zimbabwean dollar, from 1 Biafran pound to a British pound and in a month's time, 1 million Biafran pounds to a British pound. It's no rocket science.

Remember you are surrounded by Nigeria.

So Biafra needs Nigeria for actualization because we don't have any referendum nor secession clause in the constitution and needs Nigeria for the sustainance of Biafra's independence.

As I said earlier, you nor other Igbos don't feel the feel the effect of the laws, become a foreigner and you'd understand.

awgumayor:
You knew all these laws in Nigeria and still jitters about the people you hate so much leaving you. Well, the writer was referring to the stupid igbos that failed to invest in igboland but scattering their investments in the hostile regions.
Deep inside you you know that Nigeria will never remain the same when igbos are gone. Other regions might as well clamor for their own exit because igbos are like a glue that glued Nigerians together especially the minority Christians.
There's no situation igbos will face after their exit from Nigeria that will be worse than the one they are currently facing in Nigeria. Those who are suffering are those in captivity, there is no way a free man can suffer unless he is lazy. Igbos want freedom to shame their doomsayers like you.

This one all of them are talking about secede and unity

KANU chess moves is yielding fruit big time

The mentality of the average Northerner is really strange for me as an Igbo man. What this man is trying to say properties and investments are more important than freedom and sovereignty. So because Igbos are found all over Nigeria, have investments everywhere, they are not entitled to seek their own separate country?

Why is he so concerned about if Igbos will suffer if they secede? Why is he hell bent on "one Nigeria"? It no secret that the average Northerner does not like the Igbo man so why do you want to remain in one country with people you have no love for?

The Northerners are not fooling anyone. The only reason they want Igbos in Nigeria is because they have come to see Nigeria as their private property and Igbos are their slaves, they are not willing to lose that property.

If Northerners start talking about Arewa Republic tomorrow, most Igbos wont even give a damn. In fact, Igbos like me will throw party that they want to go their way.

But if Igbos talk about Biafra, Northerners will start shouting "they will suffer", "they will lose their property", "we will send them home", "one Nigeria for life"

I tire for these people

No need giving us epistles, Nigerian laws applicable to other foreigners would be applied to Biafrans who are now foreigners.

Did I tell you that foreigners(Biafrans) would all be retrenched from the federal civil service and other states' civil service since they're now foreigners.
Same goes for Biafrans in the military and paramilitary outfits in Nigeria.
Expatriate quota is then applied in the employment of Biafrans in Nigeria.

These are existing laws for now.
Nigeria can decide to enact new ones.


You're still hoping on what other regions would do for your Biafra to succeed, I dey lthaff.
Waiting on others for your success and that's so daft.


Now you understand those Nigerian laws applicable to foreigners today which would be applicable to Biafrans, please preach it to others.

Area4Area:
Change the law first, you can't be a foreigner and dictating to Nigeria how to apply her existing laws, you lose your citizenship, same law would be applied to you.

RTSC:

I was actually enjoying the thread and thr convo until you posted this threat above.

Since you can't win with logic, you decide to use threat.

What a shame.
If you kill off 20 million igbo who are the most industrious Nigerians anyway, do you think your country will ever have hope of developing?
When you have off killed the greater part of the quality human capital that Nigeria has in any field of human endeavor, how will that make your life better?
Is it the almajiris in the north that will make Nigeria great?

I don't support secession, neither do I support psychos like you.

Area4Area:
Thanks, most of them don't understand what sovereignty and citizenship means.

Bragalane:
Senator Muslihu El-Jibrin Doguwa was chairman Senate Committee on Agriculture between 1999 and 2003. He had also served as a local government chairman, Kano State chairman of the People’s Democratic Party PDP twice, and Managing Director of Hadejia Jamma’are River Basin Development Authority. Doguwa, who joined the All Progressives Congress, APC, before the last general elections, in this interview among others spoke on the state of the nation and the way forward.

59 years after independence, how do you view the country’s political development so far? We have to be grateful to our founding fathers. Those who fought for our independence in 1960 must be appreciated. We must appreciate their zeal, courage and determination that led to our independence despite all the odds. Secondly, we have to appreciate them for uniting themselves even with their differences. You can see Sir Ahmadu Bello from the North, Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe from the East and Chief Obafemi Awolowo from the West. There are a lot of others like Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Malam Aminu Kano and a lot of them who joined their hands together, kept aside their political differences and got us independence 59 years ago.


On the discovery of oil in northern Nigeria

I am so happy, very happy. Even this agitation coming from the south is as a result of oil because they see us (North) as parasites. To God be the glory. I sincerely thank President Muhammadu Buhari because it was courage and determination that made this happen. In 2001, it was in the pipeline but never saw the light of the day due to political interests. I have a friend, Senator Matori, I know how he had fought for this oil well in Bauchi. He fought for it when we were in the Senate. Unfortunately, we could only legislate but had no powers to send people to start investigating before it becomes a reality. Fortunately, it is during President Muhammadu Buhari that it has become a reality. I am happy and sincerely thank President Buhari for taking the North out of this messy situation where somebody will just wake up and say Northerners are parasites. With this development nobody can look at us from the north and say we are parasites. There are also a lot of areas where hopefully we will get more. In Sokoto, around Tangaza we have oil, we have it in Borno in the Chad basin, we have in Kogi at the border with Enugu. It is just about courage and determination and utilizing the resources to get this thing done. It is my hope that before President Buhari leaves office we will have about four or five states with oil so that they will be among the oil producing states of the country.

You just blinded with hate...
I don't dispute the fact that Biafra( provided it comprises of only Igbo extraction) would feel the pain, of course she's a newbie,, but I can assure you 10years later they would be greater than Nigeria ....

You can enact all your vile laws on those of them that would be residing in different part of Nigeria, thier properties, business , et al. Truth is it's would kill your FDI, your sea port in Lagos and PH would shut down, because you would force them to find another partner...

Talking about market size,, the Igbos have it,, ONITSHA, ABA in subsequent years would be bigger than Lagos.....

Fund allocated would be utilize for it sole purpose,, the impact of the budget would be felt everywhere.. Not like Nigeria that would allocate 3.1bn for just presidential voyages...Cost of governance would be drastically reduced unlike Nigeria

Kpoikpoi:
There is no point talking about this topic all the time.
THE IGBOS WILL NEVER SECEDE BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGERIA,that's why they are trying every trick in the book to befriend the Niger Delta people but unfortunately for Okoro people Niger Delta people know that Nigeria is fry pan while Igbo Biafra is fire.
Niger Delta joining Okoro Biafra is like jumping from fry pan to fire.
Sorry Okoro but you are stuck in Nigeria for eternity.

You are wrong for 3 reasons.

Firstly, it is not a must that an area must have a coastline before becoming an independent country. There are over 40 landlocked countries in the world and many of them are doing well. Switzerland is a landlocked country of just 8 million people but Switzerland is richer than Nigeria

Secondly, even if Igbo land was in the centre of Nigeria, which it isnt, it still does not stop it bring an independent country. Lesotho and Swaziland are two independence countries, yet both of them are inside South Africa

Thirdly, it depends on what you mean by Niger Delta. If by Niger Delta you mean states like Delta state and Rivers state then it might shock to know that Nigeria actually has 7 Igbo Governors.

1. Wille Obiano
2. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
3. Ifeanyi Okowa
4 Emeka Ihedioha
5. Dave Umahi
6. Nyesom Ezebunwo Wile
7. Okezue Ikpeazu

Many Nigerians have been brainwashed into believing that Igbo land is limited to the South East. In reality, large tracts of Igbo land were used to make up the population of Delta, Benue and Rivers state.

The real map of Igbo land which was drawn by the colonial master when the came to West Africa is below and it can be seen that it not landlocked. Many people dont even know that much of Portharcourt belongs to the Ikwerre-Igbo people

Igbos can be an independent nation with no problem and they are better off out of the failed disaster of a country called Nigeria
