I'm sorry for some who get jittery whenever Biafra is mentioned. They can't hide their obnoxious feelings because they don't know what their fate will be when biafrans get their freedom. Keep hating and ranting online until you wake up to discover to your chagrin that your fears have come to your doorsteps. All hail Biafra!

Sanchez01:
Don't make that mistake of branding Arewa and Afenifere as pressure groups. They are the face and representation of their people, just as the Ohaneze for the Igbos. Juxtaposing Afenifere and Arewa alongside IPOB or MASSOB is tad disrespectful. You don't brand socio-cultural groups as pressure groups. Never!

With that being registered, the absence of oneness within the Ohaneze Ndigbo has been one of the reasons the Biafra issue has been rocking back and forth. This same problem plagues the Niger Delta. The only two stable socio-cultural groups are the Arewa Northern Forum and the Afenifere. True agitation starts from these groups. This is why it would be very easy for the Yorubas to pull out of Nigeria. The Hausas too can do that effortlessly as their powerhouses are vested in these groups.

The problem with Biafra is not Yoruba as people often claim to say here in the East, but the many selfish interests exhibited by so many Igbo groups. For example, the Ohaneze Ndigbo group keep asking for demands from the FG everyday whereas the likes of IPOB and MASSOB would come out to say something different, while fighting for the TRUE body representing the Biafran struggle.

The lower class scream Biafra night and day like everything would be alright the moment they have it, yet, the political class keep fighting in the Senate because they don't want to lose their seats. Ebonyi as a state is not neck deep into the Biafran struggle compared to states as Anambra and Enugu. Can you see the many problems now?

It explains why I'm indifferent towards the Niger Delta cause. Most of the people coming out to represent us go on Ghost mode after a round table discussion with the FG. Asari Dokubo used to fight for the true Niger Delta struggle, not until Jonathan settled him. Just as the Igbos, we don't have a single voice as the Yorùbás and Hausas, which is one reason people consider those making demands as clowns.

Until Ohaneze Ndigbo can truly represent the ideal of the South East, and MASSOB and IPOB can come together with the Zionist Movement to speak with one single, common voice, then the struggle is nothing but a child's play. The Biafran struggle far transcends beyond Yorubas or any other people out there. The problem is internal but quite frankly, most agitators can't see this because the campaign of hate towards others seems to be the drive to their agitation.

I understand your point. You know that Ohaneze is not taken serious in the East. Why? They are not consistent. Ohaneze does not speak for biafrans which you know quite well. IPOB has been consistent, alongside MASSOB (since Uwazulike decamped). This is why they are taken serious by biafrans and nigerian government. Yes, the agitating groups need to come together as one, which will take quite sometime, yet they are fighting for the same restoration. You can attest that these groups now speak with one voice, though with different approach, unlike before. What biafrans desire is a group that is sincere and transparent in this struggle. MASSOB was at the forefront until its leader was coerced into sabotaging the sruggle, then IPOB came up. People had to move from MASSOB to IPOB because of consistency and transparency in its approach. MASSOB bounced back after Uwazulike formed BIM. You can wonder what would have happened to this agitation if biafrans had trusted Ohaneze to speak for them. IPOB, MASSOB and Zionist Movement do not wait for politicians to champion this agitation because these politicians can't be trusted. This agitation has achieved this great feat due to the harmony among these groups now. Any group that sabotages this agitation is termed inconsequential by biafrans and will lose the support of biafrans. This is unlike what is seen in Arewa or O'dua groups where their members go with whatever decision taken by its leaders.

PentiumPro:
It's simply not truth.
While those morons in the North hate due to the religion and don't pretend about it, the Igbos too hate because of religion and tribe, but pretend not.
The two tribes are not really different in extremism, Igbos are just not yet opportune or have been demobilized by the biafran war to get violent.

Your assertion concerning biafrans, particularly Igbos is wrong. Biafrans are ready to kill when it's necessary. Can't they go into houses of yorubas or hausas/fulanis living in biafraland in the night to kill them? They have opportunities but consider them not the right time for such due to the value they have for life. They are not immobilised due to the civil war. Biafrans chose the peaceful approach first at this time and this is why people see them as weak.

omonnakoda:
I have no problem with your struggle in fact I have been banned on Nairaland for "promoting Biafra" yes!!!

Just keep your hands where I can see them and do not try anything funny. We know from your leader that destruction of Yorubas is your goal and so you will never be allowed to have a military at our doorstep, The best you can hope for is something similar to Palestine.

How many yorubas have been killed by biafrans according to your assertion? We are not killers because we respect 'right to life.' Biafrans (not all) can kill people in self defence, but not moving from place to place slaughtering others. Biafrans use their discretion when it comes to taking another person's life.

PentiumPro:
Guy, 95% of those IPOB noise makers online are not registered IPOB members. They simply aligned with what ipob is doing and will defend them, just like you are doing. So you are IPOB

You seem to misunderstand me. Anyone who is a biafran can easily align with any biafran pressure groups pushing for the restoration of Biafra. Such alliance comes naturally which seem to bewilder you. I'm not in any biafran group as you have alleged, but that does not make me less a biafran. Other biafrans who are not registered members of IPOB or MASSOB can tesify to this fact.

Aigbofa:
Exit to where? Didn't you just say the struggle is for the restoration of Biafra of the mind? Be honest, do you have a bottle of hero beer in front of you?

You're funny. Exit as I used simply means being a nation of our own, not moving from one place to another. I have explained what 'biafra in the mind' means in one of my posts.

PentiumPro:
Ok, I get you, re-tweet is not endorsement. I should never take what you write as your mind.
No wonder, people thought here that you are having a bottle of Hero beer on you table while writing .

OK. All I want people to understand is that everyone will not be a member of these groups before they are regarded as biafrans.

omonnakoda:
Did you give me licence to start? Why tell me when to continue?

Who am I to stop you? There must be opposition to every struggle in life. Countries that got their independence or seceeded met fierce oppositins, yet they won at the end. It takes hardwork and consistency to achieve it. This is the approach IPOB has taken that has brought this struggle to limelight. MASSOB is also stable since Uwazulike left it and formed BIM.

Aigbofa:
So, all these brouhaha is about the restoration of Biafra of the mind? And ipob loonies want to kill people for it?
Can you see why no sensible Yoruba will support what you cannot articulate yourself?
Some are talking about territories, you are talking of Biafra of the mind!
This is what Fela would call "confusion breaky bone yeepa"

We don't need yorubas to support us before we achieve Biafra. When I talk about 'Biafra in the mind,' I mean that the quest for secession has been passed from parents to offspring since after the civil war till this time. This is why the struggle continues. So don't get me wrong. It's not an absract ideology.

omonnakoda:
What is the topic of this thread? is that how to mind your business?
Biafra is our business,it became our business the moment you killed Akintola and it became our business the moment you killed Fajuyi.the moment you invaded Ore
It became our business the moment you bombed Lagos. So our sons died reversing the mess you made. We will never allow any violence again. Deal with that!
When you go on the internet to wage propaganda war against us we will be there to shut you up. Your folk can't even set up a website fro you to vent your impotent frustrations

OK. Continue.

PentiumPro:
Aigbofa.
Listen to this your guy!!
He is at best a very unstable character and at worse a coward too afraid to accept the IPOB ideology

What do you mean by IPOB ideology? Note that I don't accept everything Nnmadi Kanu said on Radio Biafra so are other biafrans.

Aigbofa:
Then I put it to you that you are a traitor to the cause. You are also a coward as well.

You can say whatever you like. I am a biafran and fully support the Biafra exit. A coward does not take a stand but sits on the face.

dyabman:
The day all this groups go burst kasala for naija headache , i just hope say na Cote d'voire i go dey that time

Lol. Even though there are different groups in this struggle, they are united by this biafran restoration ideology. Any group which sabotages this agitation is sidelined. Ask Umazulike and his BIM group. IPOB has made waves because it has been consistent and with better aproach to the struggle. MASSOB has also been stable since Uwazulike left it. IPOB or any other biafran pressure group will be inconsequential the day it begins to sing a different song.

PentiumPro:
Go tell that to the dead birds!

Thanks, but that is the truth. People always think that whoever speaks in favour of Biafrans is an IPOB member. Anyway believe whatever you wish.

Aigbofa:
Hmmm, thank you. Talking of backstabbing, will it be safe to call you a traitor, a coward and a backstabber for not supporting any of these groups you mentioned given the fact that some ibos like you have already died for the same cause you are ranting about on the internet?

Biafra restoration is of the mind. Ths is why the agitation continues even though some have died and some are in detention b/c of it. An ideology does not easily die. I don't need to register with any of these groups to make me a biafran. These groups, esp. IPOB, are just pressure groups for the restoration of Biafra. We also have pressure groups like Arewa for hausas/fulanis majorly and Odua for Yorubas.

PentiumPro:
You are talking like a coward! A man too ashamed to come out straight
Very timid poster!

Very timid poster indeed! I repeat, I don't belong to any of those groups. Is it too hard for you to believe?

omonnakoda:
Stop trying to be clever by half.
You started with "Yoruba what a tribe"! First Yoruba are not a tribe I suggest you open a dictionary and study the word tribe carefully.It is not correct to refer to subgroups like Ijebus even as a "tribe"

Leaving that to one side, you are clearly out to insult the Yorubas and deserve the most robust slap down that your idiotic words deserve.
What difference does it make that you used the word SOME .Is that some kind of Ibo logic? That is supposed to be a sop to whom? Don't be silly.
The only person you are fooling is yourself so do not attempt to explain your foolish words to those with more brains than you could squeeze into 3 heads if you could find them.

Sorry if you are pained by my write-up. Truth hurts. Why is it that when Biafra is mentioned, peope don't stay at ease? Why hate people, speak ill of their secession, yet want to continue living with them. Is it not hypocrisy? All biafrans are asking for is this- Mind your business as regards biafra issues, and biafrans will mind theirs.

Aigbofa:
No, just a Biafran sympathizer. Will you please answer my questions?

Good. I hope you won't speak against Biafra as a sympayhizer. If not, you will be seen asa back stabber. IPOB is the most recognised biafra group b/c they are at the forefront in this struggle. We have MASSOB and ZIONIST movement. I am not a member of any of these groups.

Aigbofa:
Thanks for the clarification. Which Biafran liberation group should we support then? Is there any movement or leadership we should support and why?

Why these questions, are you a biafran?

Aigbofa:
What is the substance of your post if you knew some Yorubas are bad and some ibos are bad? Na wah for ipob brainwashing o.
What exactly did Yoruba do to provoke your director into acting like a genocidal maniac, asking for Yorubas to be killed?

I am a biafran. That I stand for the restoration of Biafra does not mean I'm in IPOB. Not every biafran is IPOB, and this is what some people fail to understand.

PentiumPro:
Ibo, what a tribe!!!!
Yorubas should keep quiet while you insult them simply because they helped kicked out your political god? The lines has been drawn and there is no letting off.

Sorry dear, I'm not here for arguments. I'm highly nonchalant whether the so-called 'political god' was kicked out or not. Read my two posts without bias. I reiterate that Igbos are not all saints either.

Aigbofa:
You are quite right, all ibos are saints walking around with halos around their heads.

Did you read my post? I wrote SOME not ALL.Thanks. Igbos are not all saints either. If yorubas had minded their business as regards biafra issues, all these confrontations b/w yorubas and biafrans wouldn't have come to this defaming level.

Highly commendable. Others should emulate this, and not only sitting in churches waiting for others to give them.

Yorubas, what a tribe! Known always to sit on the fence and backstabbing, though some are good. Yet some are disgusting both in their thoughts and actions. Always prying into other people's businesses. Like instilling fear and cowardice in those who seem more successful than them. Watch your back when relating with them. This applies to SOME not ALL.

nathanielsayso:
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days. Colossians 2:16.KJV.

Thanks for the quotation

God judges a man based on his everyday activities and not on days of the week. I can choose to celebrate christmas on 1st December every year and it's nobody's business. Paul said that no one should judge another based on days, weeks, new moon or any other special event one wished to engage in. Yet, everything that one does, both in words and deeds should be done to the glory of God.

Why do some people display obnoxious character here? If biafrans did not stage a protest today in Enugu, they would be called cowards. Now, they are on ground protesting, these insensible people are shouting 'kill them.' if you don't love freedom, let others who want it be.

It's well with biafrans. God, who has seen all your efforts, will surely grant us our freedom. Haters are just afraid of what will become of them when we are free. It makes me wonder why non biafrans take this news so personal.

Why are some yorubers concerned about biafra more than biafrans? What are they afraid of? Can't they MIND THEIR BUSINESS? They call us all bad names and yet want to remain in forced unity with us. It's a shame.

Op, all you need to do is pray that a referendum be conducted in the eastern nigeria. That will answer your question because the wish of the people will prevail if they desire to remain as nigerians or not.

since nineveh wasn't destroyed, does it make Jonah a false prophet? Same goes with Tb Joshua.

Jonah 4:2 Jonah already knew that God would forgive them and felt there was no need to deliver the message to them. That was why he tried to hide from God. What would TB Joshua have said if Hilary Clinton won?
