Politics › Biafra: Breaking Up Nigeria Has Consequences – Junaid Mohammed by Stingman(op): 12:54pm On Dec 31, 2016

Kano-based fiery politician, Junaid Mohammed, has called on the President, Muhammadu Buhari, to look beyond the United States, for ways out of the country’s present economic recession.

This is even as he said that if the Igbo continued with their agitation, a democratic means could be devised for them to vote and decide whether they want to go or remain in Nigeria...

Part of Excerpts:

You once advised President Buhari, at the inception of his administration in 2015, that if Igbo want to go, they should be allowed to go. Do you still hold the same view?

Well, I don’t know if you understood the context in which I said the Igbo should be allowed to go, if they want to go. First, there is no way the Federal Government can allow any section of the country to go, without going through another civil war. And another civil war is an open invitation to anarchy and violence. I am not a violent man, I don’t believe in violence. But yes, if they continue with their agitation, a democratic way can be devised, so that they can vote, to decide whether they should be allowed to go, or to remain.

However, and most unfortunately too, Igbo have not articulated what they want. You cannot start talking for people who do not know exactly what they want. What will you be preparing for? And mark you, those who imagine that breaking up Nigeria will be a panacea to all the problems we have, are deluding themselves. I say so because, examples abound all over the world. Look at Southern Sudan experience, America insisted that the country must be split in two, it has since been done, but is there peace in Southern Sudan today? The South is already enmeshed in a bloody civil war; nobody knows how it will end, when it will end. I don’t believe Igbo would want to go through another civil war, after the first disaster of 1967-1970. And I believe they are entitled to every right and everything an average Nigerian is entitled to. And there is no evidence; they can claim to say they have been deprived.

But they are complaining of being marginalized under the present administration?

It is not correct. Tell me, who is not marginalized under this administration? Anyway, the two most powerful individuals running the country’s economy today, rightly or wrongly, are Igbo. The Minister of Budget and National Planning is an Igbo man, the Adviser on Budget is an Igbo man, and the CBN governor is an Igbo man. So, only the Minister of Finance is not Igbo. So, if they think they can continue to make irresponsible demand from the national patrimony, of course, let them go ahead. At some point, all things must come to a certain end. And I don’t lose sleep over certain demands made by some people.

One of the arguments they are making is that, in terms of equitable distribution of resources and political offices, they have not been fairly treated.

Are you also saying they have no case in that regard?

Well, first and foremost, they should tell us, who has been favoured, vis-à-vis the positions they claim? Two, was it a planned subterfuge by the government of the day to deny them certain positions or was it as a result of certain things that have happened in the past, when Igbo occupied those positions, which is not as a result of anybody’s planning? For example, after General Aguiyi Ironsi, who was implicated in the coup that brought him to power, the next senior Igbo man we had was (Gen Azubuike) Ihejirika, as the Chief of Army Staff. He turned out to be a big disaster, as he turned out to be a dangerous tribalist. What makes them think that we must now give them that position again, simply because they are now clamouring for it? That is number one. Number two, we had a former governor of the Central Bank, his name was Paul Oguma, and he was a disaster. We now have another Igbo man, Godwin Emefiele, who has turned out to be another disaster. So, if you allow me, I can go on and on.

This means that they played their cards well, and it's paying off!

...and when hundreds of trips of people on luxury buses come to the region in their millions, some gainful slaves will ask them to go and develop their region. Develop their region with what? Isn't that contradictory...Obsanjo is one of those...who advised such...

Politics › Allow Us To Go, 'biafrans' Beg Buhari. News by Stingman(op): 12:16pm On Dec 30, 2016

Members of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB) in Cross River State have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to do everything in his powers to 'free' them to go their independent way.

Public Relations Officer, Comrade Okon Eyo Effiom in a statement said cost of living in Nigeria has inflicted poverty on them and that many of them are dying from hunger and diseases since they can no longer afford to buy basic food items and provisions.

He said there has been much injustice in Nigeria against them so that they are no longer comfortable.

“Many years after the Nigerian civil war, injustice is still being perpetrated against the people of Biafra especially the minorities as seen with the devastation of Odi in Rivers State, the handing over of Bakassi to Cameroon by the Nigerian government. We hereby call on President Mohammadu Buhari to let the people of Biafra go so that we can decide our fate and build our nation"

Comrade Effiom stated that with the state of things, there are clear indications that the Nigerian state cannot no longer take care of its people which accounts for the failed system which has led to the high cost of living.

“Between last year, (2015) and this year, the cost of living has risen over 500% which is way beyond the ordinary citizen which accounts for the high death rate through disease and suicide amongst our people”.

ABUJA: ...The combined South-South and South-East geo-political zones got N52.8 billion for road projects for the two regions, based on the Federal Ministry of Works’ budget.

The South-West geo-political region got the lion share of Federal Government allocation for roads in the 2017 proposed budget with N67.9billion out of the total N205billion budgeted for the rehabilitation and construction of roads in the 36 states of the country and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Let me educate this ipob yoots who are too mentally lazy to do simple research:

Treason:the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to overthrow the government.

For a charge of treason to stick, the government need ONLY show that you ATTEMPTED to overthrow it. Planning to acquire weapons to wage a war against the state is an ATTEMPT to overthrown the government.

If he violently overthrew the government successfully then he is leader and cannot be expected to charge himself with treason - hence you nip it in the bud to avoid the nonsense.

Understood? What happened to Awolowo, Diya, OBJ and General Olarewaju?

Are you then denying that the majority of Ibos supporting IPOB today supported Jonathan to continue till 2019, or are you saying they wanted him to be President of Biafra?

I hope you realize that Jonathan received millions of votes (over 90%) from the South East which signifies their wish for him to continue ruling a united Nigeria till 2019. If you consider those millions of voters as non-IPOB supporters/non-secessionists, then you really don't need the referendum you've been begging for. If you consider then IPOB supporters on the other hand, then you've made my point.

You're free to believe whatever you'd like, reality and facts remains the same.

Why didn't your SHARIA movement start during Shagari era, till when OBJ a southern came to power?

No, but can you also be man enough to admit that the majority of IPOB members were Jonathan's supporters and campaigned seriously for him to continue as President till 2019?

Was he supposed to be President of Biafra or a united Nigeria?

The widely known fact, no matter how hard you try to deny it, is that you lost out in 2015 and want out because your political future within Nigeria looks bleak.

Your are mostly ignorant. Biafra Zionist Movement members are still in prison, since Jonathan era..so what are you ranting about? Do they need to take permission from you to start, even at that? Why didn't your SHARIA movement start during Shagari era, till when OBJ a southern came to power? Why do you gullible hypocrites think other people are not intelligent?
