Well it is OK to borrow a name from a neighbouring tribe.

Gold Coast borrowed the Ghana name from the defunct Ghana empire in West Africa that was not anywhere near the territorial geography of modern Ghana.

Dahomey borrowed the Benin name from the defunct Benin empire in West Africa that is currently within Nigeria. So Dahomey became Benin Republic.

So I see nothing wrong that an Ijaw will provide the Igbos the name to call their Igboland, from the now defunct coastal description called Bight of Biafra.

On a serious note, making Biafra an Igbo matter was a wrong move. Infact, it wont be bad if an ijaw man or woman leads Biafra. When u make Biafra an Igbo event alone, u are pushing away those who are also part of the Biafra with Ojukwu. Remember, the vice in command to Ojukwu was someone from Ibibio. There were other major minor tribes in Biafra. Igbos were just major tribe with highest population. That does not make Biafra an Igbo stuff. Biafra was actually something that belonged to Igbos and other tribes in the old eastern region. The mistake made by those who are struggling for Biafra was making it solely an Igbo affair. Only Igbos cant win this struggle.

Juliusmalema:
So it is all about whataboutism all along right?

So siñce bandits and Boko Haram are killing and disturbing in north, Ipobs should start killing and disturbing the east?

This is what we essential foolishness. IPOBs have killed hundreds of Igbos in less than 2 months?

Ten Innocent girls sacrificed for body protection?
Killing those against their agitation ?
Slicing off someone's manhood and tag him sabi?

Atrocities of 14th century us what the terrorists organization called IPOBS is trying to do In east

Even on same Monday, they destroyed someones car in Nnewi and nearly killed a man before Nigeria military came to the rescue.


The time has come that we can no longer believe that herdsmen are killing igbos but IPObs are the ones currently killing and murdering Ndigbo.

It is obvious Fulani herdsmen were innocent of allegations that was once leveed against them.

Nope.. read again

Injustice breeds anarchy. OPen ur mind and read.

Way back when IPOB was mere moving around protesting, they didnt kill anyone, they just protested. This regime criminalized protests. They started killing IPOB youths for no reason, framing them up. Young men and women who simply protested. It is right for anyone to do that. It is not a crime.

Then, Nigeria went ahead and called them terrorist. How? U called people who never had a gun or anything terroists. Still, they were calm, u still went ahead and was molesting them, raping them. They still didnt carry guns.

Then, fulani herdsmen started killing their people in their villages, raping their women, chasing them away from their farm lands, their people called on FG which is the sole owner and controller of security in the country, the same security refused to answer. The same security will never answer. Their farmlands destroyed, their forests occupied and occational attacks carried out by these fulani herdsmen.

They complained and got tired. Instead of watching and get slaughtered in numbers, they formed a security unit to fight back. They started fighting back and killing fulani herdsmen, went deep inside the forest to chase them away. that was when ur FG sent security forces after them.

The same FG that couldnt send security forces after fulani herdsmen killing these igbo people in their villages, send security forces after those who only went after fulani herdsmen.

Omo, this is madness. That was what brought about attacks on security forces. Buhari and his team are ethnic bigots. They never hide it. Thanks goodness newspapers are speaking up now. U cant melt such level of injustice on a major ethnic group or even minor ethnic group. It breeds anarchy

adadike:
Dear Gov Hope , pls pity my people Biko
You should have warned them before hand not to lock up their shops for any reason in the first place. Pls open up their shops and go after the armed thugs that we're ready to maim and kill them if they dare open their shops yesterday

like seriously? What kind of a country is this?

It is my business and no one should tell me when to open it or close it. Omo, Nigeria is looking for massive troubles. No govt can withstand the collective inteersts of the people. The worse this useless Nigeria will do is to push people beyond what they can handle.

Dat2jo:
Criminals amongst you will commit crime una go dey claim sey na fulani herdsmen. Continue denying the obvious.

hahaha, oga, there is nothing like that... no gain attacking villagers with matchetes. If igbos want to do crime, they do reasonable ones like drug. Not attacking helpless villagers when they are weak for what gain?

Only fulanis do such becus they are always looking for lands to settle and rear their cows. It is also a problem they are causing in some african countries.

ethicallyright:
Madam Chukwurah has made a huge statement with her beautiful photos.

Her attire is very African. Nudity for the African woman is when she does not cover her vulva. She is well clothed from her waist down. Many women her age in rural African communities are relaxing topless with only their wrappers covering only what is below their navel.

If you spend 5 minutes at nursing departments in churches or pediatric wards at hospitals, you will definitely wonder if women really care about covering theirs breasts or they do it to fulfill all righteousness. They pull out their breasts without regard while discussing with adult males and place the nipples in their babies' mouths. They don't always seem to care if the man sees their breasts or not. I saw more than 100 bare breasts the last time I sat at a pediatric ward. I was 15+ and mature but the rule of the Federal Hospital was that I deal with the pediatric ward. I felt embarrassed then but my opinion has changed.

Uncovering one's breasts was not nudity in Africa until not more than 150 years ago. In Southern Africa, female Ph.d holders go topless annually to celebrate the Reed dance or Umemulo.

The most important message is her Clarion call to keep Africa's most populous country unified. That should be our focus.

Her message is well delivered and she deserves accolades. Let's not sexualize her please.

we should focus on unifying something that white men created out of their own greed o. Not for love, but for their own greed o... Can a black man create any European country and force them to remain together? When i tell u all that blacks are slaves and conquered race and whites are superior, some of u get angry. Whites are superior becus they decided what is a country to blacks, languages, education, culture, religion, etc.

Petie33:
I just weep for Nigerians on how they think. because you are an opposing the government should not make you hate your country because if Nigeria �� fails today we all fail not only the government but the people too

Oga, herders should buy lands and build reanches. Why provide them with free lands, and free investments.. Completely free. Why kind of nonsense of that?
When I was looking for job, did anyone buy me the infrastructure I used in starting my business?

[quote author= post=103994329]Look at what this mental animal called Cownu caused innocentand hardworkingNigerianswith thus Twitter issue,
Cownu, your end will be terrible in this life, along with your brainwashed swines you told to go live in the forest.
All of you will die painful deaths asap for the deaths of all innocent girls you killed in cold blood.

Cownu's death will be brutal.
The mothers of all evil and wicked swines supporting him and cheering him on with al the vicious and merciless murders, will cry the same way our relative miracle nwobodo's mothe and the mothers of all innocent girls beheaded and murdered cried and refused to be consoled.
Painful deaths shall be all your portion in life, y'all cannot never escape the evil you have done, never!

We Rise. [/quote]Kanu is not the reason that ur country has poor electricity.
He is not the reason the fulanis herdsmen are killing people all over the country.

He is not the reason why Nigeria has not worked since 1914

FutureIsFemale:
Adams are borrowing money from Eves. LOL.

All the money he has been using to feed the family nkor?

KillMNKnow:
and you people will say every tribe hate you

Chill... Many people typing this are not igbos.

I think the main anger should be targeted at the northerners who actually did this and not those laughing.
I am igbo and Im not laughing. But the anger should be at those who did this.

Naigleria:
Afonjas no go like this

These things are not necessary bro. Tufiakwa

Still open

lkillbrokehoes:
What about yahoo boys, are they into entertainment too? Lol

those ones are irresponsible na. We are talking about responsible people

ahogo:
I just pity this country, baba if you get any opportunity you better leave this country and go get a good life for your self.

Before u leave, have u accepted that blacks are inferior creatures who can't rule them selves, can't build a viable society and are only parasite to the entire global village?

lkillbrokehoes:
This guy is a billionaire but you will rarely see him showing off, he's just so humble

Those who show off are into entertainment. It is part of their business. U people need to understand this. There is a huge difference between entertainment billionaire and business man.
European footballers also show off. They are all entertainers.

Officialgarri:
No. Not same oil.

First, Dubai is 3 times older than Nigeria
Second, Dubai's population is not even up to the population of Delta state alone
Third, the UAE oil is 3 times more than Nigerian oil reserve.

I'm not trying to justify our failure especially in the past, but only pointing out some facts that you are not considering.
Once upon a time when Gowon said "we have more money than know what to do with it"

No body forced Nigeria to be big

Nigeria could have broken into smaller sizes

Captain8:
no matter what.... niger delta republic will also conduct it referendum...

Amen

PrinceOfLagos:
What are you talking about , Nigeria will never divide.

Hahahaha
Nigeria is already divided o. Is this one a country?

Omo, u can not travel to ur state anyhow now. Or walk at night anyhow.
This one no be country o

nowhere:
Black man can not rule a nation.

Finally, people are seeing it o.

Black man no get sense for leadership because of our greediness and hatred against our selves. So, no matter what, we can never rule well.
So, better we outsource it.

lazkizz:
If a university in Africa has been producing architects, engineers, building economists and interior designers for over 40 years… and the same university’s modern buildings are designed by Chinese consultants, such a university should just close down.



If a country has been unable to redeem her people from poverty after 50 years of independence and several regime change-overs, maybe such a country should be handed back to her colonial masters or outsource leadership from economies that deliver tangible results for their people, not political rhetoric.

I have said this before.

alizma:
And what will happen to every other tribe in the North? Before you comment try to think. Don't talk because you can open your mouth and close it.

So, the ones fulanis are killing are not humans abi?

Oga, u killed people, people should kill u too?

So, becus other tribes are in the north, we should allow fulanis to be killing others in their home lands?

Then FG will use my tax that I sweated to make to create ranches free of charge for fulanis? Wtf is wrong with this race?

The law is simple.. No open grazing. If u want to ranch, take loan like every other business owner, and pay back with interest, look for land, buy and build ranches.

So, when I was looking for job, as I didn't see, I should go on and start killing people so that FG will give me free money to start up my business? And they shouldn't touch me when I kill others becus there are other tribes in my region who will be attacked when I get killed for killing others?
Haaaaa, oga, u are sick aswear

alizma:
Federal government should better consider this ranching idea because It is dangerous to push people to a point where they do not care about what happens to their life anymore. When a child is no longer scared of the cane over what the parents see as bad habbit, it is advisable for the parents to have a second look at what they call bad habbit and also have one on one talk with the child. I don talk my own o

Why is FG even considering it? Are fulanis better citizens than anyone else to get special consideration from FG? Is cow business a national business that generates wealth for FG and shared to all states?

All these nonsense are happening because we refused to be honest. If u make ur land hot for these guys, they will run? Haaa
Ethnic nations are vulnerable becus FG controls security. If not, if states have their security, pass their own laws, any Fulani herdsmen caught, tried on their public TV, executed, by the time they do it to 10 herdsmen, those big men who owns these cows will have sense. Rubbish.
These guys have made it hard for Nigerians to travel.

Nigeria's politicians are the luckiest humans on earth.

They don't get burnt in these chaos. The security men take the bullets and the masses. Politicians who are the pry cause of all the wahala always will never get burnt. Wow

All these because he dealt with the fulanis.

Amotolongbo:
He has failed immediately he became the governor.
He was even worse while in PDP.

Moreover, aren’t the FG in charge of the police?

Don't mind Nigerians. Always attacking the wrong people.

Anything that has to do with security is currently in the hands of FG alone.

Let Nigeria embrace reality and hand over security to state governors and only allow FG to handle armed forces with equal representation by all the regions.
Imagine 13 police men dead.

Haaaa. When one officer died in France, the president was there for his burial. Omo, black race is a failure.

ityP:
You don't get it. They are a minority in those states. They don't have a say. Even if they want Biafra, it's not their voice that matters. Except they will also do mini revolution to opt out of the state

Baba, they were calved into those states by FG. Not their own willing.
It is all politics. Those borders were all politics. There is one between Imo and rivers states. Pure politics. Even rivers no dey remember that community sef.
Make we leave talk jaree.

distributeinc:
Biafra is only for Ibos... Ojukwu said it clearly from the inception of the last Biafran war, and everyone knows where they come from. Biafra is for Ibos, those that want to join them, will join them in ibo states. Claiming anywhere else will bring you more enemies and violent conflicts...trust me you don't want a war from all sides. We take peace for granted till we no longer have it. Life is choice, action and reaction.

Many non igbos fought on the side of biafra. No one is claiming any state bro.

Igbos in close boundaries with eastern states are part of igbos except they say they aren't interested. Those are their accenstral lands.

distributeinc:
Yes, they will leave and join biafra in biafra states...no one can force a human being to belong here or there, but Biafra can not use mouth to claim port Harcourt, cross river, Akwa ibom, these people have existed from history, they are South south...just like the last time, this will lead to war.

They never claimed that. They only said so because the biafra stuff was actually made up of non igbos too.
But time has changed. People should be allowed to choose where to come.

Ojiofor:
Until then bro.

Yea, so make una allow people talk too.
I married an Igbo lady from Delta state. I am from Abia.

My wife and her people are proud igbos.

Ojiofor:
Already Igbos in South South either belongs to Delta state or Rivers state at the moment and nobody is talking about referendum except IPOB on social media. In reality it does not exist.

It does not exist now. yes. But will exist someday becus Nigeria will never continue like this forever. Lol, never. It is a matter of time, Nigeria will scatter.

With the rising population, unwarranted killings, poverty rate, and ethnic bigotry, Nigeria will surely fall apath. Just a matter of time. lol, people will get tired. Watch this space.

Babaken:
Even though am not a Muslim but this one is wrong you should have given them some space to celebrate.

well, it is same way north destroys alcohol and still takes share of VAT generated from the sale of alcohol in other states.

See eh, we never ready for Nigeria. One region can not be kicking everyone's ass and expect others not to do same.

ityP:
Rivers is not an Igbo speaking state. Neither is cross River and Akwa Ibom. In other words, the Igbos in these places are a minority. If they so love Biafra, I'm sure they'll be welcomed into the east

Those igbos are in extreme part of those states, like borders. These are their communities. These are their accenstral homes. There is a difference between politically created states and ethnic race. Haiti is in north america, doesnt stop them from being blacks. Blacks are in America, doesnt stop them from being blacks.

ityP:
When. Biafra is formed, Igbos in South south can choose to emigrate to the east

they cant migrate. Their accentral lands remain their accentral lands. The place where they know as acentral lands is theirs
