This is a very good development. I actually wanted him to spend his Xmas in prison. He is like every other Nigerian. He is a common man like most of us just that he has a very dubious and crude life style.

Who was Major Ademoyega Adewale? He was one of the "Five-Majors" who led the nation's, and Africa's first military coup, but was he Igbo or Yoruba? Just being curious.

Pls go back to study the history of military coup in Nigeria. The first ever military coup in Nigeria was carried out by the Igbos in the military in 1966 which brought Aguyi Ironsi into power. General Aguiyi Ironsi was the first military man to rule Nigeria. It was the same Aguiyi Ironsi that destroyed the regional system of govt when he introduced the Unitary system of govt which we still practice till date

Two useless groups battling and fighting themselves over something both of them combined cannot achieve. Nonsense!

If ur ready then pull off ur regalia and wear ur war Armor. Let's show u d difference btw a football captain and a military captain. Instead of placing his Ofor on d table the Eze is placing his mobile phones.

They should have protested in the build up to the governorship election in the state when Wike in his desperate bid to be the governor by all means, started unleashing his thugs and his personal outfit to annihilate any perceived opponents....

This headline is misleading. It is not protest. It is procession in honour of those Rivers indigenes that lost their lives b4, during and after the election.

Ghen! Ghen!! The real problem starts from now. because there will a factional and splinter group. The next person to be expelled from IPOB will be Nnamdi Kanu for trying to cause second nigeria civil war.

That's what i call "Bad Market"

Nnamdi Kanu must spend his Xmas and the new year in prison for insulting us all. While on radio Biafra, he was calling Nigeria a " Zoo" and her citizens "Animals" But today, Nnamdi Kanu is the Cage like former Egyptian President Mubarak, asking for leniency from the govt and country he called Zoo and Animals. No amount of protest will get him off the hook easily. I hope those protesting on his behalf knows Nnamdi Kanu will in prison for the main time.

How do we believe this? APC is less than one year in power and the PDP spent good 16 years in power. I think the PDP is the party that brought backwardness and more suffering to millions of Nigeria. In that 16 years that the PDP wasted, many countries governed by good and parties with sound policies moved forward while the PDP stagnated, suffocated and strangulated Nigerian masses with GEJ our brother being the worst among the 3 Presidents that ruled us within these period.

Nigeria cannot divide. Unless it is divided along the 6 Geopolitical zones. But anything other than that, it is for "Better Or Worst" situation here. It is either we all join hands to build Nigeria or we all go our various ways in pieces.

I just pity u because of your stupidity. when the time comes, the SS will join BIAFRA and you will not even raise a finger.

Before now, I usually think those Igbos like u talking about Biafra are just arrogant. But I later realized how ignorant u people are. If u think Biafra will just come whether through war or Referendum that other Nigerians particularly those of South-south whom u want to force into another unholy marriage won't make an input then ur struggle will die like ur former leader Ojukwu. Again, Nigeria is one indivisible entity. Our togetherness in Nigeria is " For Better Or Worst" if u don't know.

Referendum or no referendum, the south-south are not Biafra and cannot join them too. The 3 former regions of Northern, western and Eastern Nigeria had all ethnic minorities existing under them but non still lay claims to those ethnic groups the way the Igbos still lay claims to the minorities in the Old Eastern region. If there is a referendum today, our people from the south-south will be there to make their own position known too. Those in support of Biafra called our Amalgamation in Nigeria as a force marriage. And I asked, don't their own forceful inclusion of of the south-south into their Biafra another force marriage about to happen? Without seating together to agree on terms, how power will be shared among the people of the so called "BIAFRA". None of all these has taken place. And somebody out there want me or our people to give total support to this struggle. Things no longer work likes again. We are in 2015 and not 1914 or 1966-70 when d war happened.

Whether they fight to become Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer or not. One is for sure, Nnamdi Kanu must spend his Xmas in prison for insulting us in Nigeria.

Good development. This is the more reason why I asked my south-south people to forget this very bitter politics they are now copying from the Igbos. GEJ, our son lost an election for sure. But that does not stop the rest of us from moving on or joining the party in power to move our various states and region forward. Politics in Nigeria is give and take. U can't take when u have not given anything just d way the Igbos are doing in this current dispensation. Supporting the Igbos politically or otherwise will ruin our political future in Nigeria. Let's continue to build bridge across board for a better Nigeria. If we take a close look at today's Nigeria, the south-south region is far more considered to be politically relevant than the south east because of their one sided politics filled with hate, bitterness for other Nigerians. If I may ask, how can a people that behaves and act this way be trusted. With power? Today the Igbos are shouting Biafra Biafra. Protesting on our soil, disturbing business activities in many south-south states making it look as if our zone is not safe for willing investors. Instead of taking such protest to Lagos and Abuja where their Nnamdi kanu was arrested and taken to Abuja. Instead they protesting in port Harcourt, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom etc. This was exactly the same they did during the civil war. B4 Nigerian troops got to our areas, the Biafrans troops were already on ground killing, raping, burning houses and committing all manners of crime with d hope they will win the war to take over our region.

Please tell them. because ur people, the Igbos are fond of doing nonsense in this country right from 1966.

Ohaneze ndi ara

Nnamdi kanu should die and go. He is as useless as anything u can think of. Nnamdi wu Anumanu

I respect ur opinion. But I don't think the Nigerian govt have anything or reason to seat with separatist group like pro Biafra to discuss because GEJ our brother as we used to say here in south-south was comfortably seating for good 6 years yet, no such demand and protest went on. The Igbos are in the habit of causing problems. But when the problems comes, they will be crying and saying this groups, tribes and people hates the Igbos. The first military coup that took place in Nigeria were carried out by the Igbos. As a result, that coup led to a unitary system of govt by Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi which we are still suffering till date. As long as we are concerned, the issue of Biafra has been settled since 1970 and that was why late Ojukwu never talked about it till he died after granting him state pardon by the federal govt where they asked him to "Go and Sin No More"

Biafra has no place in Nigeria of today. The States they call Biafra belongs to Nigeria. I mean Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia and Imo are all Nigerian territory. Of course, the south-south states are not in demand for any Biafra. Except those Igbos living in those states who makes it look as if south-south people are in their support. We are not oooo! We have pitched our tent with Nigeria.

kaycid77:
All I see in the thread is ITSEKIRI, and Itshekiri and EDO has never been part of Biafra, we know they have their SW brothers to align with....and this is Brown envelop jounerlism, for instance


Pastor Nelson CocoBassey (Efik ethnic nationality), Ulap Bidiak Uloh (Oro ethnic nationality), Amechi Ogbonnia (Itsekiri), Obong Ukpong Umoh and Obong Aniedi Ndem were at the conference and signed the communique.

Igbo man has become itsekiri....this is what happen when you dont edit your "lies" very well
.....Anyway Referendum will surprise you idiots.... me and my family in SS are for Biafra

Brother, not even an inch of any party of south-south is part of Biafra or will become Biafra. To me, nothing like Biafra because this has been settled since 1970. Ojukwu died and was buried in the same grave with the so called Biafra. So anybody still talking about Biafra it is only looking and asking for trouble. We will all be here when it will start happening. When fire will meet fire. When Aerial bombardment will meet those ranting today. By then they will suffer heavy casualties as a result, they will be counting their losses and crying Genocide

The Battle line has been drawn. So let's see those shouting Biafra and ranting up and down what they will do from now on

Yes, Mr President has spoken. Am in total support of Nigeria's indivisibility. As Niger Deltan and as a Rivers man in particular, I blive in one Nigeria even if I may not like how Nigeria is currently structured, I rather remain in Nigeria than joining Biafra. My father fought against Ojukwu led Biafra. And I will fight against Biafra if war happens today. The Igbos are running away from Nigeria because they feel marginalised which I don't blive. If Biafra comes today, but God forbid, the Igbos Will dominate we Niger Delta people completely particularly in politics. They will always tell us that democracy is majority vote which they have. They will tell us that minority will have their say, while the majority will have way.

There are several level 16 and 17 civil servants from the East. But nobody can afford to risky his/her 35 years plus and properties for that Animal called Nnandi Kanu. Nnamdi kanu commited a very serious crime by inciting tribes against each other and against the federal govt. Anybody thinking that Nnamdi will be releas now is only dreaming .Besides, he is fighting a lost battle. A matter that has been settled since 1970. Just take a look at those so called IPOB protesters, they are all miscreants ranging from bus conductors to petty criminals like street pick pockets, buglers, weed smokers etc.

PDP will never find any good direction with their untrainable Olisah Metu as their spokes person. That name "PDP" is now a Taboo in Nigeria. So no way for them again. PDP, "La nu udo"

Biafra is already a settled matter since 1970. Anybody still talking about is just a joker. When this restiveness gets out of hands, of course the military knows what to do. It is as simple as that.

Yes, our elders have done well by rejecting these separatists group called IPOB. We are not Biafrans and will never be too. because we are still seeing d mistakes of 19666-70 being repeated by these miscreants. Why disturbing, destroying , and stopping commercial activities in Rivers state? Did Rivers state govt arrest Nnamdi Kanu? Is Nnamdi Kanu in port Harcourt prison? Nnamdi Kanu was arrested in Lagos and transferred to Abuja yet these miscreants refused going to those states to vent their anger instead, they chose port Harcourt. Even if Rivers state decides to be part of Biafra, must they first destroy and kill what we have here first as they did in 1966-70. The Igbo's are opening old wounds. They should allow a sleeping dog rest. The Issue of Biafra has been settled since 1970. So anybody talking about it is simply looking for trouble.

The Igbos are feeling like actors now. But by d time d govt runs out of patience with them and all hell let lose, the talking and cry will change from nothing go happen to Genocide.

It seems INEC in Rivers State has become a political party to file an appeal against a Tribunal judgement. I have not heard of this b4. It is the PDP and Wike, its candidate that are meant to file an appeal against a tribunal Judgement and not the INEC. Except the INEC is constituting itself as a political party which seems to me like the INEC commissioner in Rivers State has been heavily been compromised in Rivers State by the PDP.

Nothing like Biafra. Biafra only exist on d lips of those that says Biafra. In where I come from in South-south, the name "Biafra" is a Taboo. The entire Territory belongs to the federal Republic of Nigeria. Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu are all in d territory of Nigeria just like every other part of Nigeria including my own state of Rivers state belongs to Nigeria. No room for Biafra.

moyinoluwabun:
D reason why I love Fayose is his boldness to speak up.

But u hate former governor Rotimi Amaechi for also being bold to speak up?

Not just Opunabo Inko Taria, all of them should resign because they are all incompetent. From Nyesom Wike who is d Governor to d last man in d Rivers state house of Assembly are all incompetent. Imagine, Rivers state house of Assembly has 5 known militants as members of d house. What kind of laws or bills can these criminals make? Wike gave them PDP tickets in desperation for power.

Two IPOB members dead? Come on! That's too small. At least 100 should have died
