Okoyeebo:
Oil in what?
Total amount of oil in your Biafra is not enough to fry one egg.

Hope you're not counting SS as Biafra land?

Don't make the mistake your fathers made that they seized all their houses and used koboko to welcome your fathers them when they came to claim the houses.

Boko haram north, fulani herdsman north.

I starting to think that kanu is right.

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN Business)Africa's biggest economy has belatedly agreed to join a huge free trade agreement aimed at boosting manufacturing across the continent.

Nigeria will sign the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) at a summit of the African Union that starts in Niger on July 7, the Nigerian presidency announced on its official Twitter account late on Tuesday.
"Let me state unequivocally that trade is important for us as a nation and to all nations. Economic progress is what makes the world go around. Our position is very simple, we support free trade as long as it is fair and conducted on an equitable basis," President Muhammadu Buhari said in the statement posted on Twitter.


The AfCFTA came into force in May after clearing a key procedural hurdle and being ratified by the parliaments of 24 countries.
It aims to bring all 54 members of the African Union (AU) together in a single market of 1.2 billion people by removing trade barriers such as tariffs across Africa.
The deal is expected to boost regional trade and allow companies to expand and enter new markets. Manufacturing industry currently accounts for only about 10% of the African Union's combined GDP of $3.4 trillion and the trade deal could make the sector more competitive and productive.

South Africa and Cameroon are among 52 countries that have already signed up to AfCFTA. But Nigeria had refused to commit, saying it needed to consult with domestic stakeholders before making a decision.

Nigeria was initially worried that by exposing its manufacturers to greater competition, the deal could force some of them out of business and drive up unemployment.
But after reviewing an impact assessment of the trade agreement in June, Buhari agreed to come on board.

I'm an IBO man like you...stop typing like an I.diot... We are trying to bond to avoid the death of both races and stop the islamization of this country. If you don't have anything meaningful to type just go to bed.


This is a step in the right direction... We all need to fight this menace before it kills us all and turn our unborn children to slaves in their own lands.

mrvitalis:
Once I see truth I say it

mrvitalis:
The only way to unite the south is for south west to pick and igbo candidate and support

Anything other than that its just story

gwarotango:
What they are asking for is tantamount to treason. Creating an autonomous federation within the Nigerian federation is a clear violation of the 1999 Constitution which clearly states how the federation is to be governed and the relationship between the center and the federating units. This is even way beyond Buhari's pay grade

PoliteActivist:
Beverlyjean he can't be innocent because all avenues will be exhausted to ensure there is no possibility of reasonable doubt including all of science and all appeals exhausted, then about 20 years given b4 the actual execution - which the governor can still stop if there is any possibility of doubt

Wiseandtrue:
terrorists vs terrorist!!!

Na only for Nairaland these zombies get mouth while every living Nigerian knows the real situation on ground!!!

Buhari is a tyrant!!! Kiss the truth!!!

Sarrki, over to you! The children of hate aka IPOB according to you are not the ones behind this!!!

What say you

These ones go school oooooo unlike you

mrvitalis:
Whats difficult here ,which school did u attend please

AccessME:
Ya Ar Dua shouldn't hav been been on that list.

Replace him with Sani Abacha.

Abkreizi:
Sir, I have no idea what it would look like...my question is won't minority suppression be a problem. As we have seen most rich nations are of homogeneous ethnicity

garfield1:
You are right,a bird in hand is better than none.the devil you know is better than an imaginary angel.the minorities as at then produced 90% of the resources in the east but they were neglected.only igbos were given loans in the then eastern devt bank

oyatz:
You don't seem to get it.

In Nigeria, Hausa-Fulani is being checkmated by Igbos and Yorubas while Igbo /Hausa are counterbalanced by Yorubas through getting the minorities to their sides.


In Biafra, Igbos alone will make up about 60% of the population and no single tribe can challenge them. If Biafra had succeed, by now Ekoi, Annang, Ikweres, Etche, Ijaw may have been assimilated into the emerging Igbo Nation.

Yyeske:
You've not even gotten Biafra, you are already jumping Akwa Ibom and Cross River to get into central Africa.
If we ask you when Niger Delta told you they wanted a different country for themselves now, you can't talk

Yyeske:
Why didn't the minorities in the SS support Biafra before

Yyeske:
You are no longer ECOWAS citizens and can't move around freely.
The Alien land act comes into effect and Biafrans in Nigeria with land and buildings lose it all.
You might need a visa into Nigeria or any other ECOWAS country to visit because Nigeria could veto the entry of Biafra into ECOWAS.
Biafra is surrounded by Nigeria and entry or exit into/from Biafra into Nigeria would be at Nigeria's discretion.

I can go on and on.

Britain is still having problems with the EU after brexit, you think it's that easy

kingzizzy:
Very funny. They want other bigger ethnic groups to be checkmating Igbos but it is the bigger ones than have been running things since the end of the war and marginalising them for 50 years.

80% of their Oil wealth is already in the hands of the Notherners. Even the restructuring they want is not possible because the North dont care about it. It's like the story of the person who thought mosquitoes were his problem until he opened his eyes and realised that the room was full of reptiles

Yyeske:
Whichever way you argue your point, have it at the back of your mind that Biafra would be surrounded by Nigeria and you need a deal with Nigeria to operate as a functional country.

Britain with it's free ports and wealth is still having problems with the EU

food4tot:
Is this Biafra map ever possible except on paper (or electronic) maps?

Officialgarri:
To further buttress your point, I'll cite an example.
I'm sure most of y'all have always heard that Nigeria gives (sells) electricity to Ghana, Togo..... While we suffer
It's basically because of our geographical position. Our refusal to meet their needs will make them to dam the waters, hence, no water and electricity for us.

With Biafran's geographical location, they would be choked to a fault that they would beg to return. I can assure you that, with all sense of leniency and pathetic favours, they would remit at least 25% of their revenue back to Nigeria. I mean if Nigeria shows them mercy. If not....
