Omoluabi16:
well no one told me so. My post is based on observations, the increasing disdain and suspicion for other tribes. I am indifferent. to whatever agitation there is, but what I see on the FB group calls for concern.

you are just so scared of the coming of Biafra. You exhibit such from all your previous posts

Ngozi123:
But I thought that most Igbos didn't want Biafra? That's what I've been told on Nairaland .

Nairaland is infested with over 30 BMC members who are busy churning out lies and propaganda

Ngozi123:
The majority of Igbos aren't IPOB members so what are you talking about?

don't mind that guy, he is so scared of the obvious. Whether IPOB, MASSOB, BZM or anything, the truth is that majority of Igbos are truly fed up with Nigeria. However IPOB led the voicing out

ollah2:
Loads of terrorist attacks have happened and weren't orchestrated by Muslims.

If your logic is right then you should be dead by now.

Middle East game was not being fruitful enough, something enormous was needed in the heart of Russia to push it trigger an all out mess. Insane people are doing insanity and civilians like always having to pay the most.

Same people are behind all these attacks. Just executing with puppets. The puppets says Yes to wars cos it yields more money.

all terrorists are Muslims. All these your conspiracy theories ain't gonna change nothing. Islamabad

All terrorists are Muslims. Muslims and terrorism are like 5 & 6

Magu is nothing but Buhari's attack dog.... a toothless pitbull. Both Magu and Buhari are doomed. Judgement day is coming.

Fx55:
Mr Sampson how far? When is the suicidal Buhari going to detonate? Is he going to detonate in London or Daura?

are you a monitoring spirit?

These politicians have suddenly realized that we are no push overs. The truth and the bitter truth is that Biafra is non negotiable. We have rejected Nigeria in its entirety. No matter how long it takes, we shall win. The issue of Nnamdi Kanu is a ticking time bomb and Buhari is the suicide bomber wearing the vest and is about detonating the explosive that will destroy Nigeria.

Imagine Boko Haram collecting security fees and levies in the area they are in control of.........

Nigeria is finished.

This is not a thread for political, ethnic or religious jibes and banters. Members of the BMC should not try to derail this topic.

A few weeks ago, the Nigerian Air Force mistakenly bombed the Rann IDP camp, killing more than 200 People. What has happened to that issue. I feel sad that this evil government has swept it under the carpet. I strongly believe that some human rights organizations and activists should take up this case and ensure that the families of the victims are adequately compensated. I do not want to believe that the sanctity of human lives has been completely destroyed by the institutions that are meant to protect it.

Those hundreds of people killed, is the government seeing them as part of the collateral damages of the fight against Boko Haram in the north east? If there are no compensations and no body has been sanctioned, does it mean that the bombing was an intentional act by the Nigerian Air Force? These are important questions begging for answers.

It's only in Nigeria that election results are published even before the election is conducted.

It is only in Nigeria that contracts are awarded even before they are advertised for tenders.

It's only in Nigeria that students are offered admission into schools even before they write the entrance examinations.

It's only in Nigeria that appointment letters are written even before job vacancies are advertised.

It's only in Nigeria that the budget is squandered even before the appropriation bill is passed.

It's only in Nigeria that someone with a score of 20% is considered before another with 80% score based on Federal character.

It's only in Nigeria that the government pays killers to stop killing it's People instead of bringing them to justice.

It's only in Nigeria that the president would spend half of the entire nations health budget within 7 weeks, on one singular medical expedition in a foreign country.

Millions of us are completely tired of living the Nigerian mediocre lives. We are tired of being forced to be Nigerians. Soon we shall be free.

Referendum or Revolution

ObikeNkem:
Abu'm nwafo Igbo myself, but I am not ready to go back to biafra. We Igbos should tell ourselves the truth. Igboland is not suitable for human habitation. We Igbos hate ourselves passionately. Tribalism, clannishness, wickedness, Osu caste system, Ogwu Ego, all these and more thrives very well in Igboland. I'll rather remain in Maiduguri than go back to Igboland.

there is nothing Igbo about you. You are one of those lost fellows who prefer to remain happy slaves. Igbos love themselves more than any tribe. Igbo land is the most peaceful and habitable region in this fraud of a country.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:
What you talking about?

he is talking about your being so close to a slowpoke if not one

bantudra:
its not 2am,its 12:22am

and am not your brother,,,you allowed a moronn from london to call me zoo animal...those a brother allow someone else to insult his own brother like that..??...you didnt defend me,when i needed you,why the hell should i join you now??...

thank God that you agreed that you are an Afonja

The Perm SEC no get name? Abi they are trying to cover up for some other highly placed individuals in this corrupt government

laudate:
Anuofia!! Onye oshi. If you do not provide proof to show that Laudate is an Afonja, or hails from Warri, may it never be well with you in this lifetime and the next. Must you people continue to attach other tribes into your proposed republic, by force? Can't you stand alone? Onye eberibe!

Afonja. I guess the last girl that ditched you because of your smelly armpit was from Owerri. Go and get a little life

menxer:
@bolded, makes me want to insult you.
Like seriously?
All the instances you cited are what?

See what I mean, making apologies for religion shows you are worse than a slave.

What is the justification for the northerners doing what they are doing to other parts of the country if not for differences in religious affiliation?

How do you explain the schism between the North and the SE being wider than that between the North and the SW, without the religion playing a role?

Religious bigotry and tribalism is the bane of Nigeria.

the Nupes and the Kanuris are all northers but not Muslims. They also enjoy in the slave master status with other northerners over the South. However, the Muslims don't spare them when it's time to kill on religious grounds

menxer:
The prisoner and the prison keeper are both in prison.

OP, your suggestion to "work towards our freedom" is ambiguous.

Your veiled hint is Biafra, but that won't solve the problem as the northerners engaged in these heinous acts will still continue doing same to those at variance with their religious inclinations in the new arrangement.

I guess they (northerners aka Muslims) too are equally slaves to their way of thinking anyone at variance with their religious beliefs or tribe is an enemy to be conquered.

The northern Muslims need to revise and update their religious and tribal tolerance to reflect 21st century realities. And also a lot of attitudinal reorientation is required.

The world is changing and we can't afford to be left behind, again.

Besides, are we (Christians) not slaves to our religious believes, though not to the extent of Muslim fanatics?
Are we not always being manipulated to view issues through tribal cum religious lenses?
Do you think to shake/take off this cloak will be that easy, even for you unclejb2?

you have the Yorubas who are Muslims and have continued to be slaves to the north. This slave master/ slave arrangements has nothing to do with religion.

THE TRAGEDY OF #ONENIGERIA.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in a man chosing to live in denial of the reality of his situation for a shortwhile. After all, denial is part of the grieving process. The first part, actually.

When I lost my father not too long ago, too afraid to admit the obvious and too scared to face the world on my own, for days, I lied to myself that my good man wasn't dead but had somehow disappeared to someplace cool and would re-appear later to attend to his good boy. Sadly, he never did. And here I am. Stronger than he left me.

The biggest tragedy that would befall a man is for him to live in denial for far too long that he has now come to accept his own lies about his ugly situation and swallow them as though they were the gospel truth.

Sadly, this is the tragedy of the situation of Southerners in the Nigerian experiment.

Contrary to what many believe, the Southern part of Nigeria IS NOT in a union with the North. They are in slavery and the North is their slave master. It grieves me to admit this but it grieves me even more that its true.

But this is not even the real problem. The real problem here is that most southerners appear either oblivious of the fact that they are in slavery or they've come to see their chain as a very beautiful bracelet. There is no task more tedious than rescuing a slave who is unaware of his slave status.

"I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves"~~Harriet Tubman.

Southern Nigeria is living in slavery. Let's hurt ourselves with the truth rather than comfort ourselves with lies. If the truth is bitter, that is more reason we need to hear it.

Here in this country, less than 2 years ago, a Northern Muslim man from Kano state who goes by the name Yunusa Dahiru (alias Yellow) kidnapped an under-aged christian girl named Ese Oruru from Bayelsa state. And to prove that a child sent to steal by the Father breaks the door with his head, this Yunusa man took his victim straight to the palace of the Emir of Kano where the girl was brain-washed and forcefully converted to Islam before being repeatedly raped and impregnated by the Yunusa man. She is nursing the baby even as I write this.

Now, here is the real proof of the slave status of the southerners:

The then police Inspector General was a southern Christian by name Solomon Arase and this police chief had known about this case for over 9 months. He equally knew the identity as well as the address of both the victim and the perpetrator and accomplices of this crime but he was too scared of the slave masters to intervene to rescue the innocent girl. On several occasions, the mother of the victim travelled from Bayelsa to kano in search of her daughter but was assaulted by kano mob at the palace of the Emir while the police played the spectator. I.G Solomon Arase would later tell the whole world that he could not just walk into the Emir's palace to rescue the kidnapped victim without the blessing of the Emir who was in Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj.

A police chief admitted waiting for the permission of a traditional ruler before rescuing a kidnapped victim hidden in the palace of the traditional ruler with the full knowledge of the said traditional ruler.

How do you think this would have played out if it was a certain Chukwudi that abducted an underaged Muslim girl from Kano and hid her at the palace of the Obi of Onitsha? Would the police wait for permission from the Obi before invading his palace? Would our Muslim brothers even wait for the police before killing any southern living and non living thing around them?

Fulani criminals have murdered thousands of Nigerians and displaced millions. To make it worse, they've repeatedly admitted to these killings right in the presence of security agencies. Matter of fact, last year, immediately after they slaughtered over 500 Agatus in Benue state and dozens in Nimbo, Uzo-Uwani, Enugu state, the leader of the marauding fulanis, one Senator Dagari Alkali led a delegation of the butchers straight to the defence headquarters where they publicly told everyone that, indeed, they were responsible for the killings attributed to them because in his words; "we have been pushed to the wall"

And what was the response of the Defence chiefs?

They all shook hands, took a group photograph with the 'special' visitors with open teeth and the Fulanis majestically walked out of the Defence headquarters like the slave Masters that they are. And the killing continues.

But just in case, these instances didn't quite explain the slavery situation well, here are other instances:

Last year, an Igbo Christian woman, Mrs Bridget Agbohime was gruesomely murdered in broad day light in kano by a group of Muslim youths for what they call blasphemy . We cried. We shouted. We wailed louder than the reggae god, Bob Marley.

To pull a wool over our eyes and shut us up, the sharia govt of Kano state --the same state govt that has secured death sentence in the state sharia court against number-less persons for the same blasphemy-- decided to arrest the killers of Mrs Bridget. And it did and even charged them to court. Right there in the court, the state chief prosecutor, Mr Dauda Jubril took time to explain to the magistrate how the 5 accused carried out the crime but the moment the case file got to the state Attorney General, Mr Haruna Falari, he categorically told the court to discharge and acquit the 5 accused as according to him, "they had no case to answer". And that was the end of the case. Meanwhile, the case of Joe Umunnakwe who named his dog "Buhari" was not left to the govt of Ogun state. A police D.I.G was put in charge of the case.

Now think of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members in different prisons all over the country while Boko haram and Fulani terrorists once tagged the deadliest and 4th deadliest terror groups in the whole world, all from the same religion and region as the slave Masters, are being gifted with a juicy amnesty offer, released from prison and even protected with a special army taskforce ontop your tax and oil money.

Now, think of Ile-Ife where despite the fact that Hausa/Fulanis drew the first blood and even paraded the severed head of the victim, according to report, the arrests by the hausa/Fulani headed security agencies have been lopsided against the Ife indigens and have seen even a Yoruba Monarch arrested and paraded alongside other Yorubas like common criminals simply for defending their ancient city of Ile-Ife.

The interior minister, Abdulrahaman Dambazzau has never visited any venue of the fulani attacks in the past. But he quickly visited Ile-Ife and suddenly, the badly compromised security forces that have never arrested and prosecuted the fulani terrorists killing and maiming innocent people have suddenly become more efficient than Jack Bauer. They want us to think that the killings were done by the Yorubas alone while the Hausa settlers folded their arms all through

The most shameful aspect of this whole tragedy is that while this rape is being perpetrated against Southerners, southern elites are still busy mortgaging the future of their unborn generation to these same Northern slave Masters for crumbs while their well educated but fundamentally stupid youth are busy in some Igbo-Yoruba-Niger Delta cat and mouse fight. Talk of misplaced anger!

If you criticise the lopsided arrest in Ife killing, chances are the first person that will attack you will be a southerner. Condemn the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu and trust me, you will be attacked not by Northerners but southerners first.

Such is the degree of the willingness of southerners to continue defending their slave masters.

But, while it is important that we acknowledge our slave status in the hands of a few Northern Oligarchs and work towards our freedom, it is more important if not most important that we do not fail to of our Southern parents who deliberately marched us into this slavery out of sheer greed

Olabestonic001:
I'm Yoruba but with much interest in the Igbo's cause.
I support a thorough planning with the pros and cons spelt out before executions. The intellects among Igbos must hijack the Biafra from those who seems to be too angry to think. I want the intellects to first analyze the stuffs around it. Anger and emotions does not win a cause; proper planning does.
IPOB seems to be filled with angry people that have been filled with the feeling of getting to a state of utopia and some gullible people who are just sympathetic to their cause. I want them to go back to the drawing board and do the following:
(a) Discourage the Igbo's from worshiping money and having premium on honor and respects rather than the amount you have in your pocket.
(b) Encourage more youths to do stay and develop their regions. Its no good always exporting your human resources to other climes and only coming home once or twice a year to show everyone how rich you've become. That causes a great sense of mundaness.
(c) The Igbo's needs to think less about Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba's, but think more about Igbo. Most Igbo's I know are too insecure (even though they are extremely capable individuals). While I can say the Civil war had its toll on some people's psyche, they need to know that their destiny is in their hands and no tribe can hold them down; they can prosper.
(d) They must learn that life is all about politics and not that throwing of emotions all around. Too much emotions ruins even the best cause. Let them stop being clannish and mobbish. A thing needs to be assessed by its inherent properties than 'where' it comes from. Also, allowing an alternate view is something they must work on greatly.
(e) With the development in their region, they must know that Yoruba's, Niger Deltans, Middlebelt are all tired of the type of federalism we are practicing and would join for same clamor for regional autonomy/dissolution of Nigeria.
The Fulani herdsmen are a menace to Jos and Middlebelt as a whole, the Yoruba's wants regional autonomy, the South-South wants regional control but it seems proponents of this Biafra wants to annex SS and force a kingdom on them. What MOU have they signed? have they sold the whole new agitations for the elders in Igbo land? For those who are clamoring that their elders be overlooked, I daresay they are really getting it all wrong. While an older man lives in memory, a younger man lives in expectation. An elder has 'seen it all' and you cant just rubbish such a person. Any company cannot make a vibrant young man lacking in experience as her CEO (NO MATTER HIS ENTHUSIASM); he must learn the politics and realities from the elder ones.

I see two things happening to this IPOB bandwagon (I see it more as a bandwagon):
Either the whole agitation goes down in the next 1 year as subsidy protests, BringBackOurGirl protest etc or it metamorphoses into a militant group that will be more of a headache to the region than a blessing.

while you mafmade some sense in your arguments, you also displayed traits of irrationality that goes with all the individuals who have come out openly to disparage IPOB. I'm a strong supporter of the Biafra movement though not a member of IPOB, the organization (IPOB) has done a tremendous good job is enlightening Biafrans and uniting them.

The biafra agitation is never going to stop even the next 10 years unless something drastic happens to the structure of Nigeria. The biafra agitation has become ideological and has began to involve several intellectual discussion on how to make it a reality.

The Igbos have also started imbibing the orientation of homeward investment. Those crooks like Iwuanyanwu and co whom you mentioned don't care about their people and the younger generation have stopped listening to them also. The injustice of the Nigerian system has turned sour on the skin and life of an average Biafran.

We take this issue more seriously than you can ever imagine. Biafra is at hand

xmich:
Igbo race = igbo is a language and not race

Way forward = Biafra

Igbo is both a race and a language

ItsMeAboki:
Your logic stinks to high heaven and reeks of stupidity.

How can you seriously equate those single incidences to this mass killings that if not managed carefully could set this country up in flames?

Have you even stop to contemplate the massive consequences should northerners also take retaliation against Yorubas in the north for this unprovoked attack?

Note, there were arrests and prosecution in those individual cases (at in Kano) but the court could not convict the accused, not because of lack of the will to prosecute them but due to lack of evidence to convict them.

In the present case, the process is not yet complete because there have also been arrests but no prosecution yet while investigation into the matter is still ongoing- pls go and receive sense, since you obviously need some.
You should allow for the process to be concluded before opening your big bigoted mouth.

your arguments is very stupid. According to you, it's only the north that has the right to violence without fear of reprisals in other parts of the country

The Yorubas and the middle beltans are the biggest fools in this country. They will continually reap their rewards in the hands of Fulani their self adopted masters. How many Fulanihas been paraded since they have been killing randomly in Nigeria?

SuperS1Panther:
Even God Almighty did not condone treasonable felony, as loving and forgiving as He is. He dealt with Lucifer accordingly.

FG should deal decisively with the rebellious, treasonable felon, hate preaching, war mongering, religious crisis inciting and olosho carrying Crowned Prince of Kuje Prison.

In this matter, he is not bound and will not to obey the court under the guise of Terrorism and National Security exigencies. His kinsmen can resume their early morning jogging exercise if they are pained and Nigeria too will resume easy target practise as well.

pained Afonja. Diabetic ofe mmanu. Ewu badagry. Okoko shomolu. Aturu ijebu ode. Nnamdi Kanu has achieved his aim. The issue of Biafra has become a daily international discuss. He will soon be released. Biafra will soon come. Nigeria doesn't have any future

PFRB:
Why do the Yorubas hate Igbos so much. Why? ? ? ? ?

Nas said " niggaz hate what they can't conquer". We came to their backyard and conquered them. Secondly, they fear that if we leave them behind in Nigeria, the North shall turn them to full blown slaves within 5 years. Igbos are their life line in Nigeria

loopman:
Honestly this Biafraa rubbish is a huge distraction to more important issues affecting this country.
They should allow that damn idiot to go home.

you need to take paracetamol for the pain this is causing you. In fact panadol extra

Pardon my blunt question.

I know he's a professor and all

But it's not every educated men that are knowledgeable.


Everyone knows it's the nature and target of your business that'll determine where the headquarter is situated.
Why put your headquarter somewhere because of ethnic bigotry if it makes no business sense?


I just want to make common sense

I guess that the fear that once the Igbos starts thinking of returning home, will mean the end of Lagos. Anambra Peoplealone control over N50% of Lagos economy.

farouk0403:
Bunch of saddist, you are fighting for biafra independence while your political leaders are in support of one Nigeria.

Those Ipob miscreant are only few in number and jobless,

you should move out from your landlocked eroded red mud land, and see for yourselves how your igbos brothers are thriving well in Lagos, ibadan, kaduna, kano, and other Nigerian states.

Do you think they will dump their business and pack their selves to your eroded land? keep on dreaming, but you unrealistic dream will never come true in this life time.
may be you can try in the next 1000 century,

that is if you guys didn't go extinct by that time.

Qoute me,

my arsenal is full with armor I am ready for your sh!t.

while hatred has beclouded any logical sense from you, IPOB is busy reaching out to the entire world. The struggle will never be easy but we are going to be relentless in it. Biafra has come to stay. The gospel is about getting to those in he US.

@OP, This is what you really need to tackle. This is the biggest problem of Nigeria not OSU, not IPOB not MASSOB. The illiterate north using violence to Lord it over the rest of Nigeria. Go and get a life and stop having heart attacks about us. Biafra must come sooner or later. Putting us in the same country with you and your region is man's inhumanity to man

I didn't see Trump mentioned anywhere in that essay. This poster is very obsessed with IPOB. I guess he has nightmares anytimethat name Biafra is mentioned

DjAndroid:
25,000 Wetin? No be lie go kill una. People wey dey the rally no reach 5,000.

Did I hear you say 5000? Those who shamefully came out were not up to 350. And most of them were imported from Edo state
