Why exactly have you refused to judge them with the AHIARA DECLARATION? Oh you haven’t? So below is an excerpt from the AHIARA DECLARATION, Maybe a glimpse at it would knock some sense right into your head to know exactly what the Igbo and co wanted. . NEGRO RENAISSANCE ‘We do not claim that the Biafran Revolution is the first attempt in history by the Negro to assert his identity, to claim his right and proper place as a human being on a basis of equality with the white and yellow races. We are aware of the Negro’s past and present efforts to prove his ability at home and abroad. We are familiar with his achievements in prehistory; we are familiar with his achievements in exploring and taming the African and American continents; we are familiar with his achievements in political organisations; we are familiar with these contributions to the world store of art and culture. The Negro’s white oppressors are not unaware of all these. But in spite of their awareness they are not prepared to admit that the Negro is a fellow human and colleague. This is why we in Biafra are convinced that the Negro can never come to his own until he is able to build modern states (whether national or multi-national) based on a compelling African ideology, enjoying real rather than sham independence, able to give scope to the full development of the human spirit in the arts and sciences, able to engage in dialogue with the white states on a basis of transparent equality and able to introduce a new dimension into international statecraft. In the world context, this is Biafra - the plight of the black struggling to be man. From this derives our deep conviction that the Biafran Revolution is not just a movement of Igbo, Ibibio, Ijaw and Ogoja. It is a movement of true and patriotic Africans. It is African nationalism conscious of itself and fully aware of the powers with which it is contending. From this derives our belief that history and humanity are on our side, and that the Biafran Revolution is indestructible and eternal.’ . 1 Like |

. People now put up posts to address Igbo problems which the Igbo should go and face at the command of these ‘patriotic’ Nigerians. These patriotic Nigerians will bypass Asaba, Owerri, Enugu but would quickly bring up Aba in every of their discussions. And we already know why they do these. Listening to these ‘patriotic’ Nigerians, one would begin to wonder whether all the polio-ridden beggars at every junction on major cities across Nigeria were Igbos – or that those reckless and moronic okada riders at every part of Lagos known for their heavy combination of illiteracy, arrogance and stupidity were Igbos. Or that all the illiterate meghards across Nigeria were all Igbo people. 16 Likes 1 Share |

IGBO HATING AND THE RHETORIC OF PATROTISM By Carlos Chinwendu . It is not every day that you return from work and read updates so full of hate with its quarter million likes by two sets of people: those who share similar hate of a particular race with the poster and those who think that liking such posts would earn them that illusionary tag of ‘good’ Nigerian. Yes, good Nigerian. To be viewed as a good Nigerian, you must put up posts that directly spew hate against Igbos. Every ‘good’ Nigerian is expected to do this – at least once in a week – for that was the face of ‘patriotism’. . And it also come with the silly idea that all of the people who want Nigeria restructure in preparation for a break up are senseless is well believed among the ‘patriotic’ Nigerians. People now put up posts to address Igbo problems which the Igbo should go and face at the command of these ‘patriotic’ Nigerians. These patriotic Nigerians will bypass Asaba, Owerri, Enugu but would quickly bring up Aba in every of their discussions. And we already know why they do these. Listening to these ‘patriotic’ Nigerians, one would begin to wonder whether all the polio-ridden beggars at every junction on major cities across Nigeria were Igbos – or that those reckless and moronic okada riders at every part of Lagos known for their heavy combination of illiteracy, arrogance and stupidity were Igbos. Or that all the illiterate meghards across Nigeria were all Igbo people. . The current hate for the Igbos now come hidden under Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB and patriotic Nigerians now see the Kanu saga as their kitchen – where they cook up Igbo hate, wrap it with that notorious tag of ‘National interest’ and then serve it to their teeming anti-Igbo friends – who themselves are willing collaborators of Igbo hate against the Igbo. Kanu should be jailed, they is what you could read from every of their statement. But here in Lagos, Gani Adams and his OPC boys, known for their neatness and calmness, work about with guns and in some cases, unleash mayhem on the citizenry. Fulani herdsmen too are not left out in the gun carrying charade and their guns are well known to explode at the slightest provocation. But what troubles ‘patriotic’ Nigerians so much is Nnamdi Kanu’s endless noise on Radio Biafra London. I am certain that Nnamdi Kanu’s ordinary rants give these ‘patriotic’ Nigerians more sleepless nights than the OPC putting hot pepper in a girl’s vagina and the Fulani herdsmen leveling a village whose inhabitants were should I say ‘unpatriotic’ enough to question their audacity of letting their cows feed on their crops and that is if these acts give them sleepless nights at all. . One of these patriotic Nigerians, an Ijaw gentleman made an update where he rubbished Igbos with a very illogical argument. His argument was that GEJ’S government loaded its appointments with Igbos and Northerners didn’t cry, according to him, Northerners kept calm because they were more ‘politically-mature’ than the East and South South. I saw Northerners calling him ‘patriotic Nigerian’ and dude became a super star with so many fans willing to cheer him to his grave – provided he’s willing to die hating Igbo. In the first comment, I asked one Abdul if he was actually sure that Northerners during GEJ where not wailing and he said yes, so I copied two of their wails and posted to him. Then in my second comment, I challenged the Poster who also commented that Northerners are the true Nigerians because they don’t mind who rules Nigeria. I agreed with him that Northerners are the true Nigerians – true Nigerians means nothing to me but unconscious slaves – and you would agree with me later as we progress. But I disagreed with him that Northern don’t mind who riles Nigeria – it is on the contrary, their wish – to always rule Nigeria. I asked him if it was people from Saudi Arabia that killed 450 youth coppers in Kano and Kaduna and burned people’s offices and cars when GEJ was declared winner in 2011. Of course, that was how far I went: the ijaw dude thinking I was about to damage his popularity and his presumed elevation to a star quickly came and hit the block button. An Ijaw dude who ironically many of my Igbo pals would die defending their kinsman. And yours faithfully heaved with the knowledge that my words are still there like the popular ‘uli’. . One cannot deny the fact however that there are lots of miscreants on Radio Biafra as there are lots of miscreants in Oduduwa page, Arewa pages and even Proudly Ijaw. Miscreants exist everywhere even in that street where you live. Since every part of this country have its own fare share of miscreants, commonsense says ‘patriotic’ Nigerians should focus on their own area. My mother use to tell me those in Igbo: ‘koo n’ubi I’ which in English means weed on your own farm. Every farm had weeds, why not concentrate on weeding your own farm first before telling your neighbor to weed his or hers? And do you imagine your sanity is still intact when you leave your weed infested farm to discuss the weed in that of your neighbor? And if I may ask, why always threatening the Igbos with war whenever they want to opt out? I mean, who the hell wants to fight Igbo people if they want to opt out? I know you are mischievous, for you would never read the great AHIARA DECLARATION and judge the Igbo people with it but would rather visit RADIO BIAFRA LONDON, a playground for the ill-informed and judge the rest Igbo people who wants an opt out with it. Why exactly have you refused to judge them with the AHIARA DECLARATION? Oh you haven’t? So below is an excerpt from the AHIARA DECLARATION, Maybe a glimpse at it would knock some sense right into your head to know exactly what the Igbo and co wanted. . NEGRO RENAISSANCE ‘We do not claim that the Biafran Revolution is the first attempt in history by the Negro to assert his identity, to claim his right and proper place as a human being on a basis of equality with the white and yellow races. We are aware of the Negro’s past and present efforts to prove his ability at home and abroad. We are familiar with his achievements in prehistory; we are familiar with his achievements in exploring and taming the African and American continents; we are familiar with his achievements in political organisations; we are familiar with these contributions to the world store of art and culture. The Negro’s white oppressors are not unaware of all these. But in spite of their awareness they are not prepared to admit that the Negro is a fellow human and colleague. This is why we in Biafra are convinced that the Negro can never come to his own until he is able to build modern states (whether national or multi-national) based on a compelling African ideology, enjoying real rather than sham independence, able to give scope to the full development of the human spirit in the arts and sciences, able to engage in dialogue with the white states on a basis of transparent equality and able to introduce a new dimension into international statecraft. In the world context, this is Biafra - the plight of the black struggling to be man. From this derives our deep conviction that the Biafran Revolution is not just a movement of Igbo, Ibibio, Ijaw and Ogoja. It is a movement of true and patriotic Africans. It is African nationalism conscious of itself and fully aware of the powers with which it is contending. From this derives our belief that history and humanity are on our side, and that the Biafran Revolution is indestructible and eternal.’ . Read that… ^ of course you would quickly remove the Ijaw, Ibibio and Ogoja from the list, but what difference does it make? . One patriotic Nigeria says those Igbos in support of secession are not sensible and perhaps, the whole Igbo cowards would rush to click ‘like’ on that irresponsible post. I am partially responding to that update now, because I support the idea of Africans creating their own states and not the slave markets created for them by the people who until now, believe strongly that negroes are not supposed to create nations for themselves unless it was approved by a European nation. ‘Patriotic’ Nigerian, you are an unconscious slave. I would have written a direct reply to you and your type who are too pompous to realize that they are still slaves but let me reply you in English language – that language whose owners sent my father away from their School in his own village for speaking his own language. I will reply you in this language forced upon us by the people who wanted to wipe away any trait of our Africanism and replace it with theirs. I will reply you with the language of the same people whom my forefathers died resisting their enslavement in that ekumeku war and the Aba women riot. . I knew you were ignorant of the fact that some people in search of treasure, bounced upon your ancestors and at gun point, made them their subjects and that your ancestors were killed in great numbers by these treasure seeking folks. I knew too that you are unaware that someone forced a group of Afro-Asiatic people and another group of kwa people into what he calls nation because of the Berlin conference – yes Berlin conference. You are too pompous in your ignorance to know too that why they forced these different people into a nation was because France and Britain already have too many territories in Africa – territories dubiously labeled theirs when the owners are still alive and kicking but were held captive by strangers they welcomed to their lands. Your ancestors, ‘patriotic’ Nigerian are among these captives whose land were about to be allocated to strangers in a strange land and without their consents. Britain in other to avoid losing much of their territories, decided to play a trick: the trick was to group up to five of the territories they stole which share common boundary together and call them one name while still stealing from the people. Patriotic Nigerian, the place tagged Niger republic, Cameroun and the place tagged Republic of Benin would’ve been grouped into the place tagged Nigeria if these places and their inhabitants were not held hostage by different bandits. . You hate Igbos for wanting to opt out of a union created without their consent. You wanted the Igbo to remain in a union they never liked: a union their fathers died resisting at the Ekumeku war and the Douglass war near Owerri. You want the Igbos to remain in a union which one of their sons, King Jaja of Opobo fought and died resisting. You wanted the Igbo to remain in a union created by people who are proud of creating it because that to them is how the Negros will remain – anywhere the Europeans placed them. The Igbos according to you should remain royal and educated slave just like yourself. They must remain where the master placed all of us and they become senseless whenever they have the audacity to say ‘no, we can’t be in this cage we are better than this, we are not Nigerians but Igbos. We speak Igbo like the people of England speak English and the Chinese speak Chinese and in Germany, they speak German…’? . The Igbos says they want to be Igbos or Biafrans. They are not doing so because being Igbo or Biafra will land them in a land flowing with milk and honey. No, but while we cannot rule the possibility of such happenstance considering the cases of Malaysia vs. Singapore, India vs. Pakistan, North Korea vs. South Korea etc. I know you normally use South Sudan to blackmail Igbos and to spread fear. But as it is, the Igbos seems to also know of the nations I mentioned because unlike you, most Igbos are not stupid. South Sudan has not arrived, b ut they certainly would in no distance time and I hope you stay alive to run their in search of greener pastures. I know you would because you don’t have shame and you are good at eating humble pies. But what would you say if in ten years time, South Sudan finally shakes off the long damage done to it from the long abusive union with ‘Sudan’? Or are you already insinuating that they would not come out of the crises even as evidence all suggest that they are coming out? . Freedom does not come on a platter of gold, it comes with a price – and that price could mean suffering for some years. I believe the Igbos would rather suffer for some years than remain loyal slaves because they are too afraid to leave their comfort zone like you and your fellow patriotic Nigerians. You wanted igbos to join you in making Nigeria, a British cage ‘better for your selves and your children who probably would have become full-time English-speaking and westernized slaves by the time because you, their parents were not brave enough to understand that 50 million Yoruba are enough to form a Yoruba land and speak Yoruba language as obtainable in free INDEPENDENT nations around the globe. Freedom is a problem on its own albeit a ‘progressive’ problem. For in freedom, we are in charge and being in charge entails responsibilities. You are responsible for solving problems. So cut that ridiculous thought of yours that Igbos when they pull out would encounter problems. Don’t forget that their inclusion into your Niger area was a problem to them and by opting out, they have solved one problem. Problems are precarious, the solution to one problem will always bring us face-to-face with another problem and each problem solved is a step up the ladder. Nations, communities and individuals grow by solving problems. . Mr and Mrs patriotic Nigerian, I would leave you lots in your ignorance and cowardice but the knowledge that you and I are Africanly connected will not allow me. By the way, is that signboard that reads ‘WE ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH HERE’ still at the entrance of your kid’s school dear patriotic Nigerians? Is your dear Nigeria still a member of Islamic countries? do people, I mean your fellow Nigerians still b urn houses, kill Igbo people and destroy offices over a cartoon drawn in far away Denmark? I will leave you however to remain a patriotic Nigerian as against a Yoruba or Hausa or Igbo because it is now a fact that you can never do away with your slavish tag because you are afraid of the unknown. Birds in a cage usually think within themselves that flying is a disease. You can stay in your comfort zone, that is right but do sincerely accept the fact that you are a miseducated and ignorant coward. 39 Likes 13 Shares |

The Top 10 Most Liveable Cities in Africa 1. CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, let alone Africa, having already won a number of prestigious international travel awards. 2. ACCRA, GHANA In addition to being a wonderful urban home for roughly 20 percent of Ghana’s 20 million total population, Accra has become the leisure destination of choice for upscale Nigerians who take a quick 45-minute flight to spend time at their Accra weekend homes 3. NAIROBI, KENYA Nairobi is fast becoming the African city of choice for multinational companies seeking a foothold for their African operations. Nairobi is a gracious city that possesses much of the sophistication of the large South African cities, but provides these offerings in a “kinder and gentler” way 4. JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA From the moment you step off the plane at OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA), it becomes clear why Johannesburg is considered a world-class city. ORTIA rivals some of the best airports in developed worlds. It’s sleek, modern, expansive and offers a wealth of stores and restaurants, much like many parts of South Africa’s and Africa’s economic capital. 5. GABORONE, BOTSWANA Though young—having only gained independence from Britain in the 1960s—Gaborone has flourished. Politically stable and economically buoyant, Botswana’s capital is considered to be a peaceful city. It’s likely partly due to it being small in size, with a population of just over 230,000, but still offers a diverse mix of people, and places to see. Gabs, as it is popularly known, is located in a country known for being one of the world’s largest producers of rough diamonds. 6. LIBREVILLE, GABON Modern and vibrant, the country’s largest city is home to just over half a million people. They’re young (nationally, half are 19 and younger) and urbanized. School enrollment rate in Gabon is over 70 percent and literacy is close to 90 percent. In Libreville, it’s over 63 percent, which translates into a most capable service staff in restaurants, hotels, and shops. The French influence extends beyond being the official language, providing for a very stylish city that boasts a grand boulevard with beautiful architecture and monuments. 7. TUNIS, TUNISIA A lot has changed here since the Arab Spring unrest started nearly two years ago. While unemployment remains a concern and the new government still works toward stabilizing the economy, the smallest country in North Africa is becoming one of the fastest developing. The first half of this year, saw a GDP growth rate of 3.5 percent, with a steady increase in the manufacturing sector. French territory for over seven decades, there’s a rich diversity in the culture here—African, Arab and European. 8. DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA Dar es Salaam is a rapidly growing city, from the new infrastructural projects to its people, literally. With an annual population increase of over three percent each year, it’s the third fastest growing city in Africa—and one of the fastest in the world! It also has a large expatriate community 9. WINDHOEK, NAMIBIA From the language to the distinct architecture, the German influence on Windhoek is evident—a lasting reminder of Namibia’s early colonial history. Don’t expect big city living; the most recent count puts total population just over 320,000. The small but active city is home to just about every national government institution, making it the country’s political, cultural, social, and economic capital 10. KIGALI, RWANDA From the expansion of its Central Business District to the recent road construction project to help ease traffic congestion, Rwanda’s capital is slowly becoming one of the most rapidly developing cities on the continent. Centrally located in the heart of Rwanda, Kigali is home to close to one million people, and there’s also a large community of expats here who get to enjoy the diversity the city has to offer. http://www.africa.com/blog/the_top_10_most_liveable_cities_in_africa/ NB I just cant see any NIGERIA city here, with their PHANTOM GIANT OF AFRICA MANTRA....What a shame...Majority of lagos and PH are slums...take it or leave it.
