What makes you think SS won't be part of Biafra?

Don't you know that about 50-65% of SS alone are made up of Igbos, down to some parts of Benue and Kogi. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting IPOB, I'm fully a Nigerian. I only want to find out from you why you think states in the SS such as Delta, Cross-River, Akwa-Ibom, Rivers and even Bayelsa won't be part of Biafra if the FG should issue a referendum for the Igbos to choose and decide if they want to remain in Nigeria or not?

I mean I feel that It's very obvious to every Nigerian (including yourself) that these SS states and people have so many things in common with Igbos. From language to food, dressings, including cultures, tradition and religion. Why do you think otherwise about the SS people and Igbos?

Reference:
In well planned cities of the west I agree.... but in my dear Nigeria where power lines are strewn across streets and highways wily-nily, there will be plenty of burnt offerings to the gods of disorganisation and backwardness.

It can't work in naija. It can never be invented here never. We are last in the whole wide word

Everything mentioned here happened during the civil war ....yet Igbo people survived for 3 years. Necessity is the mother of invention.
suggestions for biafra if handover happens

- States govts will absorb all igbo federal service workers
- Gratuity will have to be forfeited, some will return to work
- for those that want to stay back in Nigeria, igbos have survived Togo, Benin republic. any tax on igbos will be added to cost of goods and sold to Nigerians
-come back and work in biafra security service/police
-Return to biafra and work,
- Seaport in Blue river Abia
-Start selling oil in Abia and Imo and develop gas in Imo for revenue. start to raise more IGR from tax
-take over and nationalize all Telcos and operate them with igbo engineers
-1 megawatt facility in Alaoji Abia state ...start there and build our power company
--Local farming
-Onitsha and Aba have neva relied on Nepa...go and ask
-Biafra have more than enough schools for all biafrans as at today
- Biafra pound was used during the war as currency.

Just a few suggestions

sonnie10:
How is Borno and Osun with no oil or tangible internally generated revenue paying salary?

plaindealer:
To brag about the fact that you have oil is your primary concern, not terrorists destroying your oil infrastructure, multinational investment and your economic future.

You people are the most mentally dubious, backward and upside-down thinking people under the sun..

Honestly. And the funny thing is they believe they are so intelligent.

Who wakes up in this world and starts destroying his own environment, apart from crazed, programmed Islamic terrorists?

Errmm..........Igbos.

booscy:
Their Good Morning dey always come for Good Evening.

Isaac Adaka Boro after fighting the Biafran forces with Nigeria was assassinated by the Nigerians the evening Port Harcourt fell to the federal forces.

Ken Saro Wiwa after hating and fighting the Igbos was executed by one of his northern allies just for asking that Ogoni People survive.

What about Obi Wali an ikwerre from obio akpor where the current nyesom Wike hails from, how did he end up and the rest?

Only the Ibibios and their Scion have stood with the Igbos and that's because to a great extent they also understand this fulanization Agenda and onslaught.

My take is simple, if they don't want to join let them be.

Switzerland and Austria have no coastline yet are great European economies.

Japan sits on several fault lines and volcanoes yet they're great.

We even have gateways to the sea and should not even bother because of coastline.

We also have the oil they feel we're after.

We're enterprising, have the ingenuity and spirit to survive that they don't have.

They're lazy and rely on oil royalties to fund their ostentatious living.

Even Wike knows that without Igbos port Harcourt is finished.

Only Aba as battered as Aba is gives the whole South South their essential commodities.

You wan drink oil?

The world is even abandoning oil gradually middle eastern economies are diversifying with speed if they've failed to see beyond now.

Also South South incase they are also failing to be honest with themselves, they will not even be a stable region if they're alone because there are numerous tribes making up the region who even lack tolerance for each other. Ijaw,Urhobos and itsekiris always on each other's neck in little Delta state also ijaws and binis fighting over gele gele etc.

Don't reject the deal for only an Igbo Nation again, it will even be easier to build and manage.

“When I was at Kuje prison the federal government offered to give me Biafra provided I leave other tribes outside the five South East states but I told them I must go with the other oppressed nationalities because I don’t want them to continue suffering subjugation”.

please use Google and stop typing rubbish, Sumeria that is in ancient Mesopotamia is now a black nation. Guy you are a fanatical afro centrist take your name and be proud of it. Your brothers plenty for this forum.

The Sumerian civilisation is the oldest ogbeni, you have Google stop jumping up and down, I'm sure you'll call that one nonsense too.

No one is disputing this fact but saying that this is the first is complete bollocks, things are being dug up day after day by archaeologists.

Writing invented by Africans, your brainwashing deserves a price.

SegFault:
Let me highlight a point I wrote in my previous post.

Yep, you must have had some kind of comprehension issue or you just read a few words and went on to rant. Do you know that the so called largest earthwork you speak of was documented by a Portuguese person? Now you know, the Egyptians documented theirs, the Abyssinians did so too, the places under Arab influence did so too and then lastly the Europeans did too. I love history and I know a lot about lots of civilisations, from the Egyptian to the Japanese but when it comes to africa, I hardly find anything and don't expect me to go to YouTube that doesn't have any sort of control, I've seen videos that support useless conspiracies on YouTube with hardly any evidence. I don't have time for you and your nonsense, you're obviously an afro centrist a group of people I take as seriously as communists, fascists, conservatives, jingoists and crazy liberals. Good bye.

SegFault:
Keep quiet abeg, he simply wrote it from a neutral standpoint and stated that the case is hopeless, the so called stuff you wrote up there has no strong backing from any credible source but his does and the much we know about African culture are from the people who cared to document theirs.

IMAliyu:
How much documentation does our African traditions have?

You are free to educate us on such matters, if you are knowledgeable on it.

Keep in mind that just because one is able to explain something, that doesn't make it anymore right or wrong.

Those doctors are wasting their time.
They are trying to counter a belief system that dates back to the Vedic age(from 5000 BC). It's gonna be really difficult to do that.

Cow urine and dung are part and parcel of Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic medicine originated in India thousands of years ago. Some would tell you three thousand years ago but hey... it could be more.

The Hindus have always seen the cow as an embodiment of their deities/gods and as a result, anything that comes out of the cow(whether milk, urine or dung) is automatically seen or held as having medicinal and spiritual properties. And this, is a belief that they have held for thousands of years. They believe that cow urine, for instance, can cure just about any sort of disease that you can think of and for this reason, some take cow urine in the same way you would take normal medications.

In fact, cow urine is equivalent to holy water under Hinduism as it is sprinkled on adherents during certain religious observances to render them 'sanctified'. The holiest urine is that of a pregnant cow.

It is going to be really difficult to disabuse their minds of such thoughts. The doctors can only keep trying. The practise of using cow dung and urine as 'medicine' goes as far back as the Vedic era like I said earlier. Some Hindus would naturally pick that over modern medicine.

RedboneSmith:
Of course, they'll become foreigners in Nigeria. Was anyone disputing that? Mass deportations could also happen. Anti-Igbo persecutions is almost bound to also happen. If it does, Biafrans will take that in good faith. Won't be the first time mass deportation will be happening in history.

It is still silly to ask Igbos to leave other parts of Nigeria when their request for an independent state isn't even up for consideration by the Federal Government. I mean, the Nigerian government isn't even willing to discuss seccesssiom, but they should abandon their lives and flock to the east? How una dey reason sef?

You want them to lose on both ends? Lose their livelihoods and not get their nation, too?

Let an independent sovereign state be declared in the southeast today, and watch many Easterners return on their own accord. Many will, I presume, also wish to remain and continue doing business in Nigeria until forced out by Anti-Igbo pogroms or government deportations.

BiafIntel:
Dumbo, Ross Ike is Igboand has been known for his anti-Igbo activities which was the reason why he was expelled from Cybereagles. His hobbies are anti-Igbo activities and posting photos praising his hell hole called nigeria. Here is Ross Ike below. He looks fulani, the reason why his DNA must have to be checked.

RedboneSmith:
This question is sha silly.

I don't know where it was ever said that citizens of an independent nation cannot be living and doing business in another country.

valentineuwakwe:
Why are you talking like a child and bringing up ethnic sentiments into national crisis? All igbo should return to the south east because of Biafra, do they tell you its all of them that want Biafra? So they should close there Buisness n investment n return home and do what?
You, when last you even visited your village?
Instead call for an end to this crisis n ask FG to engage all, even former president OBJ have ask Buhari to meet n discuss with Nnamdi and Sunday, so what's the big deal.

gidgiddy:
Why havent the millions of Nigerians living abroad not returned to Nigeria? Igbos are yet to get Biafra, you are asking why they have not gone home.

You already have Nigeria, but thousands of Nigerians are dying in the Desert every year in their bid to get out of Nigeria and go another country

First call on your Nigerian brethren to retun Nigeria that they already have, before you call on Igbos to return to Biafra which they are yet to get

Eastlink:
This thread should be banned. Did Igbos tell you they support the activities of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB? Are you not dull to generalize a whole tribe.

IPOB are a terrorist group but Igbos are law abiding Nigerians.

Be careful

Idiko1:
I guess Igbo is driving you from idiocy to foolishness. Ndigbo will abscond Nigeria the moment either Republic of Igbo land or Republic of Biafra is actualized. It is a display of idiocy to remotely insinuate people who have not actualized a preferable country to vacate delipidated though manageable country.

9japride:
@Op the chief cruise catching master and head of aproko unit of nairaland on Igbo matters. If you are nobody, nobody will talk about you. It's only a good fruit that people throw things at to pluck it because of the addictive love they have towards it.
