chino24 you are a disgrace to education,common sense. Dont get me wrong i am an indigene of nimo but objective to issues that have merit.this ur lamentation is a sign of jobless nd failed mindset.why lament about marginalisation wen ur doorstep is an eyesore.is the marginalisation also affecting the development of anambra state.pathetic to always blame our failure on marginalisationcampgain for emancipation of anambra state,igbo or a peaceful secession wit water tight map-out plan nd stratregy .who knows you can start the revolution from ur phone nd not al dis cyber talk.

for justice i vote okija juju as eze. Ogugua88 as eze nwayi.

sentiments has always been our problem. How can we equate ojukwu into a godlike statue.is ojukwu now the means to define who is igbo.let be factual some elderstateman do not see him as a hero ask achuzie. he couldnt win a senatorial seat in 1979 then is hero statue is debated or hypocrisy at play, cald him a hero in the day then villian,fool,mumu in the night. If nigeria did not disqualify ojukwu then no rule in nature has the moral justification to disqualify okija juju. Rebellion nd division start wen arrogate to ur self maker of law rather than lawmaker.pointocracy,dede1cracy,onlytruthcracy,9_i_hailcracy,beremcracy u al are DISGRACE to DEMOCRACY. Let the rebellion begin.

ujchief i am dissapointed in you.how could you allow urself to be use as a tool,bull dog,puppet of point b.even if okija had appeal how are we sure he will be tried fair wen ur lord,master,king point b want him disqualify apart 4rm afam4eva,u al are the extension of point b ,otimpukus of godfather point b,good student of iwuology. Point b continue to play chess with them u cant deceive us all.

i hereby move the motion that 9_i_hail step down as a member of the tribunal with the these reasons.1-conflict of interest.2-dependent mindset.3-bias,nepotism,favourtism with dede 1.Point b we appreciate ur effort but it is high u stepdown nd be a member of the tribunal. with an independent mindset like ndu chucks,dede 1, lord naya.

okija juju disqualification is a slap to democracy and rule of law. A typical example of mediocrity nd otimkpuism a situation were minority right are subdue by imperialist.point b i want u define leadership of eze ndiigbo in relation of degradin an igbo hero. The two ideaology of a political society is conservative nd liberals. Individuals tends to posses the ideal mindset nd realist mindset, for any society to flourishe well dis factors must be working effectively. I see okija as conservative thinker with an ideal mindset who helps to checkmate sentiment, emotional quotient.if the meanin of true igbo is one who see ojukwu as a hero then we are finished. As a person i view the man as a coward,if he was killed,captured in the war he would have been my best hero for dieing in wat he believe in. An unbiased opinion is valueles.the ojukwus tribe should leave ndi igbo to elect a defender of igbology. Long live okija.

okija juju i thank you for pointing out some clause meant to disqualify some set of people cald suprema .my point is that they are afraid of u.cyber g,dayokanu,eko ile are usin them to curtail u.

pls i saw my admision in jamb site.wat is the link to check the admision.

i thank onlytruth for the job well done but the time for radical change of system is now for this reason i nominate okija juju a pragmatic critic nd ezeuche

btw me and u noblezone who is dreaming. I dream with vission backed with realistic action to pursue my plan. But ur dream is the effect of post civil traumatic stress the fear of failure move on with life. Imagine how the world will see u nd the rest makin declaratin with out mark out plan.times magazine ranking about potential new nation biafra was not listed ask tibet,catalonia,basque,cascadia,scotland,padania,hawaii,kashmir even in africa south cameroun,cabinda,bakassi hav better case than biafra.

dreamers

i support okija juju 100 percent, he reason objectivity without sentiment.afam4eva how could you allow rochas philantrophy becould ur judgement. Our problem is bad followership,we allow ourself to be deceived by promises, a greedy man wil vote a greedy leader..i rather vote for the one dat promise me least for he will disapoint the least.

you are dreaming and also suffering from post war traumatic stress. U think secession is a childs play.u have not started yet ask vermont,catalonia,tibet,kashmir,boungainville,hawaii,alaska,scotland u need to control information through print,radio,create a social site like nairaland for the project, an online radio station. My problem with all pro biafra group is why they have not applied for UNPO MEMBERSHIP.

How many of u wil contribute money,time.idea to actualise this.secession is like an electioneering campaign. Ask tibet,kashmir,catalonia,hawaii.

when one goes through the list of protagonist who are ready to defend the east.you begin to wonder what is the drug that give them strength.they are: onlytruth,ezeuche,afameva,ndu chucks,chino24,okija juju,proud igbo. These 7 guys are really suffering from post traumatic civil war stress which makes them feel inferior nd apprehensive against anti igbo thread.they need mind therapy

computer engineering any hope with 225 jamb.post ut 210 second choice no cache area.

the issue about infrastructures like this been built by nigeria is not going to be a reality becos of loan needed for such. Asaba airport is a local airport i am talking of standard international edifice.

i have been watching with keen interest about an airport been sited in onitsha vicnity for more economic development. Imagine an international airport with an inland port what a huge revenue base for the state. The chinese are best option for dis project.Obi it is time for this mirage to be reality.

The Bakassi Story -
Part 1
By
Nowa Omoigui
nowa_o@yahoo.com
1. When the Obong of Calabar
signed a "Treaty of Protection"
with Britain on September 10,
1884 Britain agreed to "extend
its protection" to the Obong and
his Chiefs. The Obong agreed and
promised to refrain from
entering into any agreements or
treaties with foreign nations or
Powers without the prior
approval of the British
Government. That is, he signed
away his Kingdom as a British
protectorate. This type of
subterfuge was carried out with
many of our ancestors. All of this
was before "Nigeria" was
created. Note too that unlike
agreements between
metropolitan powers these so
called protectorate agreements
with African Kingdoms did not
have precise definitions of
boundaries. On November 15,
1893, Britain and Germany
defined their boundaries in
Africa, supplemented by another
agreement on March 19, 1906.
These covered British and
German Territories from Yola to
Lake Chad.
2. In 1900, 1903 and 1906, key
declarations made - and militarily
enforced - which created the
colonies of 'Northern Nigeria'
and 'Southern Nigeria' (inclusive
of the Colony of Lagos). The
Obong of Calabar was neither
consulted nor did he resist. This
was all conducted between
metropolitan powers and they
understood what they were
doing. "Protectorates" became
"Colonies". Note the difference.
3. In 1913, Britain - for the
colonies of "Southern" and
"Northern" Nigeria - and
Germany - for "Kamerun" -
reached an agreement on their
border from Yola to the Sea. The
first of these agreements was
signed in London on March 11,
1913 titled: "(1) The Settlement
of the Frontier between Nigeria
and the Cameroons, from Yola to
the Sea and (2) The Regulation of
Navigation on the Cross River".
The second was signed at
Obokum on April 12, 1913 by
Hans Detzner, representing
Germany, and W. V. Nugent,
representing Britain. It
addressed the precise
demarcation of the Anglo-
German Boundary between
Nigeria and Kamerun from Yola
to the Cross River. There were
eight accompanying maps.
For Bakassi (also spelled Bakasi)
peninsula in particular, the
Germans were interested in
shrimps and an undertaking that
Britain would not seek to expand
eastwards. The British were
interested in uninterrupted and
secure sea lane access to Calabar,
a key trading post. Since the
Germans already had the option
of using Douala environs as a
port, they conceded the
"navigable portion" of the
offshore border to Britain. In
exchange, Britain conceded the
Bakassi peninsula proper to
Germany. In other words, to get
Germany's cooperation not to
threaten access to Calabar,
Bakassi peninsula was conceded
by Britain. The Obong did not
resist. Note that "Nigeria" did not
yet exist. This was long before
General Gowon was born.
4. In January 1914, "Nigeria" was
created by amalgamation.
Neither the Obong nor any other
traditional ruler, Emir, or Chief
anywhere in "Nigeria" was
consulted about it let alone its
borders. As was the practice
then, it was done for British
economic reasons - to extend the
railway system of "Northern
Nigeria" to the sea and to use
excess tax revenues - derived
from spirits - from "Southern
Nigeria" to correct a budget
deficit in "Northern Nigeria".
British and German maps of
"Nigeria" from January 1914
clearly show Bakassi peninsula in
Kamerun. There was no
resistance from the Obong of
Calabar or his people or any
other native "Nigerians" for that
matter.
5. The First World War broke out
in 1914. In 1916, Britain invaded
German Kamerun. Among the
Nigerian troops and carriers
fighting for Britain were natives
of Nigeria, including some from
present Cross- River State. At the
end of the war, all German
territories were divided between
France and Britain by the Treaty
of Versailles. The League of
Nations placed them under
British or French mandate. The
boundaries between British and
French mandated Kamerun was
defined by the Franco-British
Declaration of July 10, 1919 by
Viscount Milner, the British
Secretary of State for the
Colonies, and Henry Simon, the
French Minister for the Colonies.
In this agreement Bakassi and
the rest of what became known
as "British Cameroons" were
placed under British mandate
and administered coterminous
with "Nigeria" but not actually
merged. The old 1913 border
was retained. To codify this
further, another agreement was
signed December 29, 1929 and
January 31, 1930 between Sir
Graeme Thomson, Governor of
the Colony and Protectorate of
Nigeria, and Paul Marchand,
Commissaire de la République
Française au Cameroun. This
Declaration was ratified and
incorporated in an Exchange of
Notes on January 9, 1931
between the French Ambassador
in London and the British
Foreign Minister. Again, maps
from that period show the
Bakassi peninsula within "British
Cameroons", not the "Colony and
Protectorate of Nigeria". Neither
the Obong nor his people, nor
any other "native Nigerians"
protested. General Gowon was
born a few years later.
6. The Second World War broke
out in 1939. Native Nigerians
also fought for Britain. After the
war, the British and French
League of Nations mandates over
the Southern and Northern
Cameroons and Cameroun were
replaced by trusteeship
agreements under the new
United Nations - approved by the
General Assembly on December
13, 1946. These UN agreements
re-ratified the prior borders as
codified by the previous Anglo-
German and Anglo-French
agreements. Maps from that
period show Bakassi peninsula
in the Cameroons, not the real
Nigeria.
7. On August 2nd, 1946 Britain
divided the Cameroons into two,
called "Northern Cameroons" and
"Southern Cameroons". The 1946
'Order in Council' contained
detailed provisions describing
the border separating these two
regions, now conveniently
administered from colonial
Nigeria - but not part of it.
8. In 1954, the Secretary of State
for the Colonies issued a legal
order defining the border
between Nigeria's "Eastern
region" and the "Southern
Cameroons". Bakassi Peninsula
was in the "Southern
Cameroons", distinct from the
Eastern region and the Calabar
province and maps from that
period show this very clearly.
General Gowon had not yet
joined the Nigerian Army. Neither
the Obong nor his people nor
any other native Nigerians
protested.
9. In March 1959, the UN asked
Britain to clarify the wishes of
the people living in Northern and
Southern Cameroons trusteeship
territories in the run up to the
"independence" of Nigeria and
Cameroun. Maps from that period
show Bakassi peninsula in the
Cameroons, not the real Nigeria.

as far i am concern biafra is an illusion that must be defeated with al d power needd.any who suport this fantasy need rehab nd psyche evalulatin.

it bafles my imagination when people like edoyad begin to compare lagos with ghana.ghana has a population of 30 m and land mas of 243,000 to lagos 3,430 that is sentiment.it should be compare with hong kong.population is dynamic but land mass is static.

this has been the greatest question begging for an accurate answer.your more precised point will give us answer about the world we live in.

THE MOVEMENT FOR
THE MERGER OF anambra,imo.enugu,abia,ebonyi to form -29,095 km sq state .capital -awka and not creatin mushroom l.g.a cald state.imagine a l.g.a in niger is biger than enugu.

all of u clamourn for biafra are dreamers,visionles,.foolhardly.i better suport hawaii to secede or even tibet from china than a visionles project cald biafra.i dont know wat nia.sss are doin.
