Yeske2:
Who cares whatever you call me, just make sure you march on the street and not on nairaland that day.

Yeske2:
Bunch of frustrated cowards, don't go make yourselves useful to your respective families. Go marching for a scammer and hope most of you who want the march won't do it on nairaland.

Earthkumy:
that's why we want Biafra, there's no job in Nigeria, hunger everywhere, Nigeria is bondage, thank God you recognized Nigeria is hopeless, and those who leave in it have no hope. That's why we need Biafra. So Biafra we will get

EUROBOMBER:
Go and get a job.

dustmalik:
Until you start attacking armed forces establishments, blowing yourselves up, in the name of Biafra, we will never take you seriously. Take a cue from Boko haram - they don't make noise on the internet.

coolitempa:
You are one helluva dunce........I have always been for ur Biafra and nothing will make me happier....... ......the whole world will then know that the crimes with which we are associated with are by ur people only...... ......Kanu is a violent man and therefore he deserves to be treated as the terrorist that he is.....

coolitempa:
These miscreants should go....we will be better off without them..... ....Iboes need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs them.....Biafra by fire by thunder..

Ddonchester:
we have oil, That's not even the issue, With or without oil we just want to be free. Even if it's landlocked, We can pay other countries to import our cargo or fly it through air cargo so STFU. Biafrans are going and nobody can stop us

vicenzo:
They are not confused. They have a clear cut agenda.

1. Reduce Igbo influence in the deep south by getting Igbo groups there to either denounce their Igbo identity or declare their independence from the larger Igbo group or even join their ever growing groups of non Ijaw speaking but politicised Ijaw groups like Degema and Ogbia

2. Join all those groups in Niger delta, confuse them into thinking they( Ijaw) are fighting for the benefit of all in the group.

3. Use the population of the New Niger delta as a bargaining chip to promote Ijaw agenda, by making Ijaw agenda appear like a Niger deltan agenda. We saw this play out in the emergence of relatively unknown GEJ over attah, Duke and Odili in the race to Yaradua VP, where Edwin Clark the Ijaw leader, insisted that Odili cannot represent Niger delta( Ijaw).

And we saw it in the Amnesty program beneficiaries.


To achieve aim 1, Ijaws have been on perpetual propaganda of painting Igbos as domineering, land grabbers, greedy and unreasonable before our Igboid brothers.
So much that those ethnicities have come to associate Ndiigbo with all those lies.

Its time we put the Ijaw dealings and schemes in Niger delta under great public scrutiny.

NOBLEDANDY:
You be complete hypocrite...
You thought of today being first Sunday of a new month and that the majority of Igbo's will be at church and so won't be able to fault your claims early enough...
That's why you resulted in posting this trash the minute you posted it...

Foolish ijaw sense...

mulattoclaro:
Allow us to worry about ourselves. Stop drinking panadol for our headache. Have we appointed you guys to be our mouthpiece? Why can't you biafrans get it into your head already that we don't want to be in the same union with you guys?

I read with dismay the attack on the moniker; Tonyebarcanista on how he tried to correct the Biafran agitators to stop revising history by claiming PortHarcourt as Igweocha. The attack on that monker was legendary and the insult was second to none. These are my hypothesis on the average Igbo mentality I've observed for about some years now:
(1) Unless you enter a deal with your neighbor, do not assume his sympathy or friendship with you mean he will lay his neck for you. Blaming him when he has exhaust his own limit should never be termed backstabbing or sabotaging. Define boundaries before blackmailing anyone. Because you help a lady get an appointment does not mean she must marry you; separate deals must be entered.
(2) Seems that Igbo's are too emotional to form a stable society. Its obvious that Igbo's mostly are sensational and bear grudges way too easily. They need to outgrow that folly.
(3)Igbo's seems not to wanna learn how to deal with people. Diplomacy is alien to most comments I've read from most of you guys. That's a gross weakness which has caused severe backlash from the communities they reside in. From all indications, its a gross weakness that they need to work on immensely.
(4) Igbo's are a hateful bunch when you don't share their views. It was at the height of campaign for the 2015 General Election that most Igbo's showed their hates to Yoruba's because they do support GEJ. To suddenly hate Yoruba's because of GEJ shows the myopia of the highest order from a tribe that was perceived noble. Unless they outgrow the childish tendency of -a kid who prayed that his father looses his job because he did not buy him his toy- they will forever be viewed badly. It was even such that Tonyebarcanista is facing.
(5) Igbo's are too clannish to survive politically in the 21st century unless they adjust. Most Igbo's are highly suspicious of others so much that if you catch one of them stealing and you arrest such, they will raise a dust that you are persecuting their brother and their tribe. They might call this loyalty, but I see gross folly in that stance. Men should always be loyal to the truth than their tribe or clan. Unless Igbo's address this view, their Biafra will be a state of Hobbesian.
(6) Igbo's love picking fights. First it was the Hausa/Fulani (39% of Nigeria) because they felt Boko was used against their candidate, GEJ. But since PMB was sworn in, Boko have not stopped; hence, we can say their assertions was wrong. Next, it was the Yoruba's (21% of Nigeria) because most of them do not want GEJ again. The hate was even promoted massively on their Radio Biafra. Now, its the turn of Ijaw (10% of Nigeria). These shows one clear thing; Igbo's are the ones who hate others when their expectations are not met and no one hates Igbo's till he shows hate to them.
I hope in the next 50years, Igbo's (Biafra or not) would have outgrown this their sensational, illogical and emotional hate on others. Only that can help them.

SmartMugu:
If I may ask, who exactly are the 'intellectuals'? I'd assume most of us here are learned enough to be intellectuals in our respective disciplines. So, are we talking about some alien, foreign or heavenly intellectuals?

SmartMugu:
In my opinion, the awareness has been around for a long time. I've heard of Biafra since I was about 8 years old, now after about 3 decades, it's the same story. So, isn't 30 years enough for the awareness?

I believe everyone should fight for what they believe in, that's why I won't blame hardcore Biafra supporters, even though I'm not from any of the Biafria states.

To me, the whole "Nigeria" thing is a scam. The British did this to us and left us to deal with it. We are too divided to be together.

From when a central government is in place in Nigeria, only a certain region of Nigeria enjoys most of what our 'united' Nigeria has to offer, going back to Tafawa Balewa days.The same region has everything to lose if Nigeria splits. In other words, we are just being forced to be together only for the benefit of a certain region of the country.

Nnamdi did his best to create the awareness the Biafra people needed, but what's the point when he only gets media support from those that claim to believe in his dream? His people only supported by yelling on social media and TV. I'd expect a more mature approach versus screaming on TV and social media.

Folks died for Martin Luther King/Malcolm X's dreams, but in Nigeria, you're on your own. Everyone cares only about theirs.

So, where are the intellectuals that would risk everything for the same Biafra fight that started several years ago, even before some of the wailers here were born?

coollabman:
hmmm.... interesting! who are the wannabes if I may ask?

coollabman:
so there's fake SS?
