You would say they should go through the NASS but in truth you know it's dead on arrival. Even if Igbos were friendly with Yorubas and Hausas, it's still dead on arrival in NASS because people esp Northerners see their existence as tied to South
and the Sea. Igbos breaking out will make others go and this is the issue, it has nothing to do with insults or respect. Same reason the North is kicking against Amotekun and Igbos are supporting it. The North fears that if Amotekun succeeds as it is proposed without amendments, then others in SS, SE, NC will do theirs and they begin to loose their stronghold on Nigeria. As a learned person, you know this but somehow wants to blame Igbos for trivialities as been responsible for anything. You have far more Northerners in Yoruba land than Yorubas in the North. You have more Easterners in Yoruba land than Yorubas in the East. What those this tell you? Yorubas prefer to stay on their own but afraid of uncertainty if they break out of Nigeria!
But just like Soviet, the internal issues became too much and everybody exhaustedly left the USSR without any resistance! It's just a matter of time, by the time our population reaches 300 million people with this meager revenue, it will be extremely difficult to hold Nigeria together!
No I would say they need to humble themselves and learn to keep their mouths shut instead of scoring unnecessary own goals
Next they need to start playing politics of cooperation and partnership
Set a realistic time frame 50 years is a long time in the life of a man but not a people.

The message is simple the way that Igbos talk to and about other Nigerians is unhelpful and MUST change
Sadly they don't or can't get it
Simple example
Buhari has won the election whether you like him or not work with him focus on your long term goals
Think about what happens when he leaves and how to influence that IN YOUR INTEREST
The starting point is to unify the Igbo people and if you must use hate to do that try to be discreet
Coming out with all that Nnamdi Kanu stuff is unhelpful
Learn to be tactful

You are too small to impose your worldview rather you have to learn do be humble. An impossibility for the Igbo man

Let me illustrate a simple fact for you

Igbos CLAIM they want Biafra which I doubt

The question is do they want it through war or other means

If they want war that is their choice


Otherwise the way I see it they are more likely to get that with a restructured Nigeria and then to gradually strengthen their position
This will require patience and discipline which Igbos do not have in the field of politics.

This lack of patience and discipline has manifested in the clear declarations of enmity against the Yoruba people. Also the behaviour when Jonathan was in power.
That was a highly indisciplined performance in which they showed their hands too early
That toothpaste can no longer be put in the tube

Objectively how does the position that we would rather a Fulani than Yoruba president help Biafra or Igbo interest?

You folk behave like children when it comes to politics
It would be tragic for you when a Yoruba wins the presidency with your 5 % votes
Are you just naively daft or intentionality oblivious of the political realities in Nigeria? Otherwise your stupidity which is sadly a smokescreen to your better sense of reasoning, will know the biggest obstacle to restructuring or outright secession from Nigeria is predicated on a lopsided arrangement that has the Hausa/Fulani dominating every sphere of government dowm to the minutest parastatal in Nigeria. They dominate the NASS by a majority, and that's where the heart of the every legislative decision affecting the nation including disgruntled elements of it are inexorably tied. Now in the situation when it's already commonplace knowledge that they (the Northern power brokers) are vehemently opposed to restructuring or break up (as One Nigeria evidently favors them), what would you have the Igbos do when the other ethnic nationalities in the south are either too docile about demanding and spelling their political destinies, or too facetious, untrustworthy, and subservient to the North just to enjoy crumbs in the corridor of power.. surely a race as proud as the Igbos won't lower themselves to kiss aSS in the name of Political correctness or some rubbish handshake across the Niger just to get their way.

So it's either one of two things that will decide that political future of Nigeria, and not your bullshit talk of Igbos been politically naive or 5% blah blah blah (you have a brain, use it).

(1) There has to be another Nigerian civil war, and we know no nations survives another war.. the cost of lives will sadly be high, but the key thing here is that the ethno-political landscape of Nigeria today is very dynamic, this time every section of the country that fought against Biafra are now against the current status quo... it's now fast dissecting into the North vs the rest of Nigeria (maybe except the Yorubas, knowing how naturally treacherous you guys are), but the point is, it won't be Nigeria against the Igbos again... as it's now evident Igbos are not the problem of the country from the political stake point of domination and hegemony which the Hausa/Fulani have cornered to themselves.

(2) A natural self-implosion of Nigeria- This one seems more feasible considering the current vices plaguing that country, the problem of Nigeria is too much to even break down to any thesis, but every indices boils down to one thing at the end, the unity of these country is no longer tenable... so surely Nigeria has to self-implode and fragment itself along ethnic, religious, social, and political lines.


Get these simple facts into your thick skull, and stop sounding like a dunce.

All these things you mentioned will not achieve Biafra even in a 1000 years! Imagine Yorubas were friendly with Northerners but immediately they declared Amotekun, Northerners said Yorubas are the most primitive in Nigeria( I appreciate the SW response by using diplomacy,I trust my people, we wont take it lightly) and started accusing the Yorubas of not allowing Igbos to vote in Lagos, something they applauded at the time. What this means is that good relationships will not achieve Biafra. Nigeria population is increasing and revenue is falling because there is no unity of purpose. There is be a tipping point and it may not be more than 20yrs from now!

You were the ones with suicidal tendencies, your choice.

That you were foolish does not mean we should be
That you are impulsive does not mean we should be.

You woke up one day and murdered Akintola, OkotieEboh Bello Balewa whilst sparing Zik and Okpara.

Instead of taking responsibility like adults you choose to blame others.

Take responsibility.


No one sent you to do any coup and no one sent you to secede.

Take responsibility for those reckless actions and stop blaming others.

Many have seceded without shooting a single bullet but in your reckless irresponsible way you think making noise or violence is bravery.
What Ojukwu did was foolish not brave.

In the end he ran away like a rat.
Nnamdi Kanu has run again like a rodent


Whether we are small players or not is irrelevant. Why does that hurt so much?
Must we do what you do?


We are small players but you keep moaning and howling like oestral canines that we deny you access to a seaport and marginalised you.
That is your usual excuse for your teeming refugees in Lagos


If you were such big players it should reflect in your region and we should all be flocking to Mgbidi and Nnewi
You should not have to beg for a second Niger bridge.

Truth is if we are small players then you are Non players. Inconsequential


These were some of the "Igbos" who killed leaders from other regions while sparing theirs.

Lt. Fola Oyewole
Lt. O. Olafemiyan
Capt Adeleke
Lt.R. Egbiko
Lt. Tijani Katsina
Lt. Saleh Dambo
Lt. john Atom Kpera

Take responsibility for the action of a few who were not sent on any mandate by the Igbo public? May be you should start with taking responsibility for the actions of your brothers whose names appeared up there.

The second coup of july 1966 also killed the head of state Aguiyi Ironsi and col fajuyi leader from the western region, and 33 officers from the east. What changed? Why is the west not angry with the northerners for the killings of fajuyi? Why was pogrom nit declared on northerners living in the west grin

We don't need to shout about our bravely, history has already recorded it that faced with certain extinction and surrounded by odds. A people determined to take their destinies into their hands, they died in their numbers but they also took their enemies down in large numbers too.

I repeat you are small players. The stakes in Nigeria are far above your narrow minded parochial sentiments. You don't know where Nigeria is headed. You are only interested in the immediate gain that Lagos and your other cities represent. But the stakes are higher than that. The dance going on is beyond your rice and stew intelligence.

The wealth of Mgbidi and Nnewi need not be announced. Ndigbo are the least tribe to complain if all that was at stake is chop money. You of all people know that. But it is more than that. When you hear marginalisation from the east you suddenly develop erection and masturbate on your good fortunes. Monumental blindness!

The cry for 2nd Niger Bridge can not be more than that for Lagos Ibadan expressway. Goodnight!

Well how you achieve Biafra is your choice. I am not one of you
Just know that if you try violence the Yoruba will do what they did in 1967.
So better prepare well this time
Nations do not always implode because there are disgruntled minorities whether in the USA Russia China Australia etc

Even if there is a violent implosion you might be the biggest losers
Just like the Jews were kicked out of Jerusalem 2000 years ago so also can you

It is said that no nation survives a second civil war so history is in our favour. If there is a war this time Biafra will succeed because America already has concerns about the Christians being killed and the ethnic cleansing going on in Nigeria. Even the Europeans too, and I'm sure Isreal will offer more support. There are a lot of Yorubas who are also Igbos due to inter-marriages so it will not be as easy for Yorubas to align with hausas to kill Igbos like 1967. We also have a lot of Igbos in the diaspora that will do everything possible to support to the fullest.Biafra will be restored no doubt, it's a matter of time! The longer and harder you push the Igbos away, the closer to Biafra they get

That Nigeria implodes will not neccessarily mean the birth of Biafra
It could however mean permanent or long term evacuation of Igboland and replacement with others

When I listen to some of you I cringe
You guys do not understand what is at stake.
If you did you would be very humble right now.

Yoruba wre not naturally genocidal and have nothing to gain in killing Igbos
War is unpredictable however.
Your best chance in Nigeria is to seek a guarantee of neutrality from Yoruba.
Right now that is unrealistic if you start war you will pay dearly


If you like key in to 1.a Yoruba president project or
2.a igbo presidency or Fulani presidency to spite Yoruba. Definitely Igbo presidency will not happen in 2023

You seem to downplay the strength of Igbos,
you forgot the rest of Nigeria fought Biafra
for 3 yrs with the support of UK, US, Russia, Egypt? If not the Biafrans would have defeated Nigeria. Igbos are the second largest group in Nigeria so talking about relocation is impossible!

All of that is sentimental talk
No one should go to bed hungry but millions do
The problem with many Igbos is refusal to deal with reality.
Reality is Igboland was conquered by the British and handed over to the Nigerian state.
No amount of righteous indignation will change that reality.

If the Igbo want to achieve Biafra then they need to figure out an approach that will work.

Will this current approach work?

This logic of

Our cause is just and therefore it will happen is quite childish

My opinion is that to succeed the Igbos need fewer antagonists and more friendships within and outside Nigeria.
Strangely Igbos believe enmity with Yoruba and Hausa is the right strategy. Good luck with that


Let us imagine that Biafra does happen what is the vision of what the Nigerian space would look like?
Any vision of friendship or partnership?

Another problem Igbos have is emotionalism

Germany caused so much mayhem in WWII
Today they are at the centre of the EU
The Igbos on the other hand continue to spout rhetoric of their perceived superiority and to project their bitterness from the loss in 1970.

Get over yourselves that desire for revenge which seems to to motivate many of you will not happen
This is the major problem Igbos today are failing to understand.

When you say British conquered Nigeria, you made it seems they are still enforcing their conquest, are they? If Igbos have enmity with Yorubas and Hausas(already conquered by Fulanis) as you claim, that should actually speed the breakup of Eastern Nigeria from Nigeria.
Remember how Singapore was driven from Indonesia? If there is enmity between persons, breakup should be easier actually. Its difficult for friends to break up!
Having said that, something must give so the longer you insist on suppressing Biafra, the longer Nigeria remains in the woods because no unity of purpose. You are only hurting yourself in the process. Igbos are very resilient people so Nigeria go tire!

Self determination is enshrined in international laws and conventions Nigeria has signed up to. It is the right of all indigenous people of the land to agitate for which country they want belong to. The current agitation for Biafra is about referendum which will allow the Igbos to decide their destination. Referendum is not war. If the Biafran agitators will never get referendum, and they are wasting their time agitating, it is theirs to waste. It has nothing to with a Yoruba man in Ibadan or a Hausa man in Kano.

This same restructuring is what Ojukwu went to get in Aburi over 50 years ago. It was agreed and signed. 4 months after they came back from Aburi, Gowon broke that agreement by enacting decree 14 which abolished the 4 Regions, replaced them with 12 states, took away resource control and fiscal federation. Ojukwu retaliated by declaring Biafra. The same people who are today shouting about restructuring are those who helped Gowon to fight Ojukwu so as to get Nigeria where it is today. Now they are talking about restructuring Nigeria to a system which they helped Gowon to remove

What this dunderheads, most especially delusional clowns like most people here don't get is that IF there's to be another civil war in Nigeria today, EVERY region in Nigeria will be affected, and will be a theater of war. Some fools still think we are in 1967 where the war was brought to the East, and mostly fought there... today lots of things have changed, the power play for one is longer favorable to the Igbos( which was the case in the First republic that engendered the fear of Ibo domination)... the political landscape has also significantly changed in the context recent events... the Middle belt who were used as willing tools and foot soldiers to prosecute the war during Biafra definitely won't take sides with the North these time for obvious reasons not helped in part by the Fulani killings of their people... the duplicity of the South South won't play out cause we know they sabotaged Biafra due to the creation of states by Gowon, and the much touted fear of Igbo domination. Now all these factors are no longer in the favor of the war noisemakers... only the West is in debate cause they are neither here or there, but a better sense of fact tells me they have been shortchanged by their Northern masters, and won't play ball to their machinations anymore...

So the question is, who and who will fight the Igbos in a second war?

(2) A natural self-implosion of Nigeria- This one seems more feasible considering the current vices plaguing that country, the problem of Nigeria is too much to even break down to any thesis, but every indices boils down to one thing at the end, the unity of these country is no longer tenable... so surely Nigeria has to self-implode and fragment itself along ethnic, religious, social, and political lines.


Get these simple facts into your thick skull, and stop sounding like a dunce.
Start the civil war as soon as possible or do you need any moral support?
1967 would be child's play

An Igbo man has never killed a Yoruba man either in the SE, SW or anywhere in Nigeria. Biafra war was for self preservation! Mention a time where you heard Igbo man kill a Yoruba, so I dont understand why you feel we will fire a shot at Yorubas when no history supports this. We are not your enemy in reality!
What happened in Ore ?Lagos?

We are committed to Nigeria .
If Nigeria must end it MUST be replaced with something better in terms of peace and security
Not chaos which is what IPOB want

Biafra achieved by force would mean endless war on our door step.
We know that Biafa will seek to annex the Niger Delta

We will not permit that .
Biafra in our view is at BEST a 50 year project if done politically
It might be quicker if done by force but you have a 50 50 chance of success and a very high cost if you fail

It is said that no nation survives a second civil war so history is in our favour. If there is a war this time Biafra will succeed because America already has concerns about the Christians being killed and the ethnic cleansing going on in Nigeria. Even the Europeans too, and I'm sure Isreal will offer more support. There are a lot of Yorubas who are also Igbos due to inter-marriages so it will not be as easy for Yorubas to align with hausas to kill Igbos like 1967. We also have a lot of Igbos in the diaspora that will do everything possible to support to the fullest.Biafra will be restored no doubt, it's a matter of time! The longer and harder you push the Igbos away, the closer to Biafra they get
Stop the threats about the next war and start it off already.

What happened in Ore was because the military government situated in Lagos first attacked Biafra so Biafrans were taking the war to Gowon to remove him. Ofcourse there will be resistance.
They did not shoot civilians, w
Did they?
Now you have spoken your mind on not wanting Biafra as not necessarily the issue of building bridges but your fear of the aftermath. Why not chart your own determination? Nigeria is a mere geographical expression and as such a nation cannot come out of it in a million years. Unless you have accepted that you ok with the way Nigeria is for a long time because it's only gonna get worse. Where is your ambition? Dont you want to stay in a country that will someday be referred to as a developed country? Nigeria cannt achieve this forever to why stay on this ship?
Niger Delta you say you are protecting? Is it Imo or Abia or Anioma that part on Niger Delta? Niger Delta will be the first to leave after Biafra!
