Did you vote for ibos who ran for governorship in the east under the APC? Isn't it opportunistic to expect the APC to hand the ticket over to a region that wouldn't support it even at state level?

so how come there are Igbo APC senators and representatives? Where they appointed by tinubu

JonDon12:
I disagree. It might come to a referendum. If the international community starts to understand the injustices that have been inflicted on the ss/se, they will refuse to sell weapons to Nigeria. And Nigeria knows this. So no weapons, no war

Nigeria has weapons already

alphaNomega:
There can never be a Biafra!

You guys had Biafra and lost it, what does it say about you? Acknowledged, your great grandfathers put up a good fight to defend their territory but you guys lack the ability to cooperate and function as a successful country.

Even if you are given Biafra today, it would be another shíthole in a shithóle.

so you don't want us to have Biafra because you don't want us to live in a shithole? Because you love us abi?

alphaNomega:
I hope you know the president of Rwanda, Kagame, is running a dictatorship. Most of the figures published by the Rwandan media are fabricated to give the country a good face. Let me stop here, time will tell.

he is not the only African President running a dictatorship... what is Buhari running? Go to Rwanda and clear your doubt

Guestlander:
Over inflated sense of intelligence indeed. Why did ibos put all their eggs in one tattered PDP basket? Will ibos now vote for the APC just because they present an ibo candidate, and then throw the PDP under the bus?
This is what I call Okoro sense.

of course we would vote APC if they present an igboman...it's common sense..but we would not be as stupid as you to vote a Buhari because of mere VP position... Buhari tried it with us 2wice and hit the same brick wall

Guestlander:
Lol, then they will turn around and accuse Yoruba of shying away from competition. Why can't we have an ibo candidate in the PDP and Yoruba candidate in the APC?
Osinbajo will rightfully run after Buhari, that is only fair.

why didn't osinbajo run as president against GEJ? Why did yorubas hide as VP to north in 2015 when a southerner was running under PDP

You guys have an over inflated sence of intelligence

Kapilta:
i hope you get to paint your nose red today, so everyone can easily know who you are.

stop crying to me. Cry to your leaders

Anambra is doing great...more needed

candidtalk:
Thanks bruv for educating these lazy thinkers who never look at themselves and their own deficiencies while they continue to simplistically think life will be a bowl of honey if Yorubas, Hausas and Fulanis are no more.

the bolded are the trident of menace. Remove them from any society and sanity returns

Kapilta:
Smh. Benefit of useless One Nigeria. If Mimiko had not fixed that ore road, it'll still have been the shithole it always was.

don't blame any one Nigeria...blame your leaders

horsepower101:
Get that nonsense out of your mind. The non-Igbos of the old Biafra don’t want to be a art of it. This is something I will personally confront Nnamdi Kanu about the day I finally meet him.

His idea of Biafra of including non igbos will fail. These people will sabotage all his hard work because they don’t view igbos as their brothers the way igbos view them.

Nnamdi Kanu’s version of Biafra will be a disaster.

Cc: pazienza

how a whole gidgiddy can't see that kinda disappointed me

JonDon12:
I think there are some of us that will prefer to do it without other tribes .

But realistically if it came to a referendum between biafra or staying in Nigeria, the ss tribes will choose Biafra for reasons that should be obvious.

They might not openly agitate for it, They might prefer their own country to Biafra but if it came to a choice between Nigeria and Biafra, they will choose Biafra

the point is that it will never get to a referendum...it will be an armed struggle and trust me if you include south south, we lose big time

LabDNA:
Op registered just yesterday pretending to be Igbo just to promote the already known agenda of divide-and-rule. The SE/SS coalition causing heartaches to the wicked ones since 1960.

the first people we must defeat in our journey to freedom are fantasizes who live in a deluded reality of unity between south south and south east.

I have nothing against the Niger Delta...but people like you who don't see that Biafra can not come with this people. People like you who are not ready to change strategy...those are the first people we must leave behind

Malawian:
When you look at Igbo map, it is only Ogoni that is too strategic not to go with, i really don't see the need to carry the rest along if they are not willing to pull their weight in the struggle.

I swear you and I are seeing the same thing

I often ask myself doesn't kanu see this?

If you ask me I will say that we should support their Niger Delta Republic in hopes that they will support our own...after the two countries separate, then we can get them to either give us back our igboland in their Niger Delta or leave ogoniland for us..or something like that

Malawian:
The only tribe we "really need"in that "Niger-Delta"is the Ogoni, and that is because they have land border with Igbo enclaves like Bonny and Opobo.

I swear. If we NEED any southern minorities, that would simply be ogoni...not all these ones...and I assure you we don't even need anybody...

bonnylight003:
In Nigeria...the south and east has a common enemies... In Biafra..they minorities will see igbos as common enemies.. ..no matter how ipob wish to structure the government...
Better they have their republic or chose to stay in Nigeria..a landlocked Biafra is a million times better than a Biafra with southern minorities.

loud it till kanu hears it. A landlocked Biafra is better than a Biafra with Niger Delta...
A friendly Niger Delta Republic is better than a bitter, suspicious and secessionist Biafran minorities

If Rwanda is the fastest developing country in Africa, why can't igboland?

Rekhina:
It amazes me nigerdelta goes against Yorubas and stand with igbos on Facebook and Twitter ,but come to nairaland u will see a Buffon claiming urhobo with so much hate for igbos

I know right...it's only on nairaland that a certain 'we the south south' crew spew hate against Igbos.

Maybe they are actually from south south west

Biafrannuke:
you are strategic but you are pro KANU who is not strategic. you're now betraying your fake identity.

yes and pro ojukwu too... because both of them (regardless of their flaws) are the most passionate Biafrans I know

Biafrannuke:
OK. I actually thought you were pro Biafra. pls don't bother replying me.

more pro Biafran than you. I'm even pro nnamdi kanu

What am not is pro emotional

helinues:
Cameroon is in the process of healing their nation by freeing some of the Ambazonian fighters..

Stay current before making a post

I'm sure you heard were I wrote that victory is almost certain for south Cameroon. What would be left to see is if it will be total victory of independence or partial victory of federal union with Cameroon...

An unnecessary mistake from Cameroon will cost them a willing and loyal south Cameroon

Biafrannuke:
you seem passionate about Biafra but not strategic. I suggest you halt the act of expressing your confusion over what will constitute Biafra at this stage because that could harm the movement.

oh I am more than strategic. That's a major thing that kanu lacks. He is very charismatic and charming just like ojukwu but we know where ojukwu ended.

Nnamdi Azikiwe on the other hand is both charismatic and strategic. That is the type of person who would get Biafra . I am not charismatic but I'm far more strategic than kanu

Bagehot:
Have Igbo Legislators moved a motion for referendum / independence, and been denied?

that's one way of seeing it...I guess we have a lot to do

candidtalk:
This is why I never take your kind seriously. If the bolded is correct, what on Earth are you doing around Yoruba people then? Why walk with your own two feet into the enclave of the 'enemy'?

This is why Yorubas will always be above Igbos. If we genuinely feel others are our enemy and mean us harm, we stay away. Simple. I would not be going to take tea in the house of a racist woman and white supremacist merely because because I want to use the free data on her PC. That is the sort of unprincipled shite Igbos do with their 'money above principle/everything' mentality.

Yorubas are your problem ba? then stay away from them and where they live. How difficult is that simple concept? Yet you are all over their land making money and raising families there while always shouting to the world they mean you harm.

don't be coy. I am not in Yorubaland and neither is any of my relatives.
You must not be living in this world cos your argument is baselessly stupid. You are in a thread were Igbos are discussing how to stay away from this same country with you, threatening us with failure and consequences if we try it...and in another mouth you are telling us to stay away from your country.

Are you from gjgzdhjygdxxxc? Cos that's how you sound

gidgiddy:
Biafra has never been an Igbo thing, it is an Eastern Region thing. The last president of Biafra, General Philip Effiong, was not an Igbo man. A referendum should be held and those who vote to leave Nigeria will become Biafrans and those who vote not to leave will continue as Nigerians

Biafra is not about Igbo or any other ethnic group, it is about those who choose to leave Nigeria

this is too vague... vague endeavours don't succeed

I stand fully with the op...we need to remove Niger Delta from Biafra as a matter of urgency...don't turn Igbo to beggers

obiekunie2:
but in all honesty - pls which state is isekiri in? beyelsa?

I think Delta or Edo...not so sure

Rekhina:
Are you yoruba ?

So we should allow fulani squander trillions from my region than support ipob who see liberation from sataniacs ,what did u take me for a dumbfool from minority Kogi selling Koko or what ?

I don suffer Leticia u don suffer

,See I have my b.sc in abraka and masters in Uniport ,now in Dubai fighting for crumbs when my region has zillions being transferred up north ,
Carry ur stupid advise to those foolish idiots raging with illiteracy in brass or abonima ,Is a WRONG NUMBER .. Oghene an'

It shall never be well with u

the yorubas are not so smart...they somehow believe that after voting against GEJ and ridiculing the entire Niger Delta because of their hate for GEJ, somehow the Niger Delta will love them more than Igbos who have always supported the Niger Delta.

So much for the most educated tribe in Africa

candidtalk:
Are you sane at all? Igbos are lawless but you SS folks should be careful how you align with them. Disregard for the law, such as you show here, will never get you far in the eyes of the international community. You can say others 'steal your oil' only when Nigeria is no longer existing and there is no constitution in place that stipulates everything of worth inside the border of Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians.

Nigeria even give you oil producing States 13% derivative your drunkard leaders squander yet it is North and SW alone you apologists wish to face for your lack of development. Nigeria is brewing and I can 100% assure that it is you SS folks, and the SE you have chosen to support blindly, who will be on the losing end. You harp on about ND oil developing the region. What did your own leaders, fathers, Uncles et al do when they controlled the NDDC (Niger Delta Development Commission) aside loot the money meant for your development? Yet you would rather call the North and SW 'thieves' of your oil without realising charity begins at home and without accepting the problem is with you and your folks and not Yorubas or Hausa/Fulani.

What more concessions do your leaders need to secure development for the SS? 13% derivation not fair? NDDC and large budgets for development of the SS that never gains the desired result, because it is always looted by your own people like Deizani and Orubebe, is the fault of Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani ba?

We all know Igbos never look at what they do wrong when they shout all others are to blame for their woes. Is it not how Kanu contemptuously broke all his bail condition only for Igbos to shout 'tyranny' when Python came twerking? Commit a crime and the police should offer you flowers rather than arrest you ba? Only in the delusional mind of an Igbo man. You SS need to be very careful to not be led into a blind alley by the madness of Igbos.

Look at one of them here. Once you mention the south east and south south breaking out of Nigeria, you see them crash into the thread in their large numbers.
They become emergency economists, diplomats and historians. They tell you how Biafra will fail and how all Igbos will be killed and how and how and how....lol

All oil billionaires in Nigeria
Mike adenuga, indimi, Alakija, Otedola, Danjuma...none of them is from Niger Delta...can you now understand why whenever Biafra is mentioned, they become fierce analysts? Who shïts where he eats? The so-called progressive yorubas were not afraid to commit genocide in 1967 because of oil, they will not be afraid to commit genocide in 2019 too because of the same oil.

Someone once said yorubas are not our problem. How? Was it an abokì who killed 3 million Igbos or was it a Moslem? Both Gowon and Awolowo were Christians and none was fulani or Hausa.

I say it again and again...our first issue is with yorubas B4 hausas

Rekhina:
No cause for alarm ,come to our creeks and shed tears

We need it more Dan u do ,nigerdelta republic is acceptable but Agbor ,issele ,ugbo ,anioma is for biafra ,the lesson is understood now ,
We can't stay in a country with itshekiri and co who has sold dia land to fulani for just a pot of yam & beef porridge

of course the biggest losers in one Nigeria is the oil producing Niger Delta.
Gabon is light years ahead of Nigeria. Gabon is Europe in Africa and it was built with oil.

Rekhina:
Wisdom 101

I can't wait for our nigerdelta seaport to commence ,
I can't wait for our oil to be cut off from thieves beyond ,
I can't wait for it to be used to develop myself before oil bcoms useless !


Nigerdelta is with igbos at all time

yes...I support Niger Delta Republic because I have been to some small African countries like Rwanda Ghana and ivory coast and I know that Nigeria (except Abuja) is a big for nothing country.

There is no point repeating the mistakes of Nigeria in any new country

Most of you here don't know what is going on in Cameroon, but the FG knows. Cameroon is in a sort of conventional civil war now in the south. And it is the same irrationality of Hausa/fulanis that is costing Cameroon. These guys willingly joined Cameroon in 1961 only for unnecessary aggression to start from the central government. Now victory is inevitable for the south Cameroon, it's only a matter of time and what sort of victory.


Now to Biafra; the FG has made it clear that IPOB is more dangerous than fulani herdsmen. The reason is simply because they know that the activities of the herdsmen (as bad as they are) will not lead to the break up of Nigeria. However, they also know the dynamics of 1967 has changed.

USSR has collapsed and it means more possible allies for Biafra like Ukraine.

The 21st century Igbos are richer by far than 1967 Igbos and can fund a war longer.

The activities in south Cameroon and it's proximity to the proposed Biafra is a major game changer.

The current general insecurity in the country means a spreading thin of security apparatus

The failure of Nigeria to develop has made many southern and middle Beltan people tired of the Union in a way they were not in 1967.

The aggression of the north Vis a vis Abiola, Dele giwa, saro wiwa, etc means less sympathy for the north from these former allies.

These and many more technical, tactical and moral reasons means Nigeria would most certainly never emerge United from a second civil war, hence the paranoia. They have a small deck of cards to play. The most important cards are the excessive show of force as deterrent and the subtle use of division within the proposed Biafra

The first one which is excessive show of force is self explanatory and can only be countered with a more brutal showing like boko haram does.

It is however the second strategy that I want to talk about. Using divisions to destabilise the proposed Biafra. This works because it is easy to work. It was the main thing that gave FG victory in the first war. The FG controlled the Niger Delta early in the war due to lack of willingness by the Niger Deltans to commit to Biafra. With the Niger Delta in the bag, FG boxed Biafra in, and then a stalemate ensued. FG couldn't advance easily into igboland. They kept taking heavy losses, they had to institute a blockade.

https://thenationonlineng.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Map-of-Nigeria-and-its-geopolitical-zones-North-Central-Benue-FCT-Kogi-Kwara.png

Now if IPOB wants to avoid the mistake of the first Biafra then he must not include Niger Delta in it. Rather support their Niger Delta Republic and even fund it. That gives them a sense of belonging and allow them to commit to the struggle. If IPOB doesn't do this, then they have given the FG the same leeway that ojukwu gave them in 1967 and the results will be the same.

If you are worried about access to sea, a friendly Niger Delta Republic solves that completely. IPOB should know that it would be easier for south south to reach a consensus to form Niger Delta Republic than for them to reach a consensus to join Biafra.

Common sense is the biggest weapon in a war. But greed beclouds it often.

....and if they don't remain neutral, what do you do, attack or annex their territory? See commanding o!
Every other thing you said is just for nairaland entertainment that everyone is already used to

well itsekiri is too small to determine the success or failure of Biafra...so go figure
