This is one of the gully erosion ravaged 5 south east landlocked republic of Biafra. Where poverty and underdevelopment is the order of the day. Hello to the Igbos from the west.

discusant:


You equate Israel to Nigeria, a basket country. You try. Nigeria is a failed country. What is holding Nigeria is oil in the Niger delta area.
Israel is one solid rich country supported by international super powers.

Israel can afford to keep Palestine yearning for independence for decades more to come, but the more your imaginary strong government of Nigeria holds back the easterners, the more Nigeria becomes a country non-habitable. That's the difference.

Hahahahaha, we shall see how that goes, but please don't complain to any U.N or E.U when Nigeria starts dealing with u, especially when it resorts to loss of lives like as it's currently happening

ElCount:
Choi! Gradually Nigeria is becoming history
"Truly there was a country"

Zombies can continue to defend their president and fight for a "one nigeria" they themselves don't even believe in

Yimu, so Nigeria is becoming history because on unknown u.s politician who knows nothing about Nigeria asked for a referendum. U never see anything, continue dey jubilation. Edait

RexEmmyGee:


lol..what will you say about nelson mandela situation.
was he also not an inmate?

No be everybody e dey work for oh. Abiola enter prison, him no come out to become president oh, him die inside prison. I expect that in the case of Kanu. Lol

attackgat:


He will remain there, but the agitation will never stop. This has gone far beyond Kanu.

Lol, ur agitation will continue, but the government will put up a very formidable resistance just like how government all around the world treat secessionists. Palestine have struggling for for freedom for more 70 years now for freedom, but due to Israel resistance, they have not gotten freedom. Kanu just woke up shouting Biafra like as if he will get it next year. U should expect worse than that in Nigeria.

attackgat:


Why won't he want to get out of jail when the courts granted him freedom on 3 separate occassions? Is it because Nigeria isn't a civilised country? Kanu is willing to die for his beliefs, he didn't come to die because Nigeria can't abide by its own laws.

I am very sure he knows the consequences of what he was doing, because examples abound. Look at what the government did to Uwazurike of Massob, and Benjamin Onwuka of Biafra Zionist movement, today u don't hear of them, but back then, they were so popular like Kanu now. U cant tell me Kanu did not know how the system is here. The truth is that he never expected to be arrested, his father even confined that he only came to visit him and stay for some days before moving back to London where he base. he thought he will not be noticed and recognized by the secret service. If he is man enough, he would due for his ideology, rather than writing love letters to the U.K and E.U for help

attackgat:


Of course, nobody ever said freedom is easy to achieve.

So u people should stop shouting to the world whenever the government deal with u people even when it resorts to loss of life. Just suck it up

attackgat:


I said he is willing to die for what he believes in, I never said he is willing to die for a lawless Nigeria where court orders are not obeyed. If Kanu feels that there is a miscarriage of justice, he is entitled to write to any relevant authorities.

Sharrap there, always wanting to defend his master. Did Mandela ask for help in his 27 years in prison?

attackgat:
My God, the kind of comedy coming out of DSS office (Daura shoe shiners) is indeed pathetic. Is the best they can come up with?


If this statement is actually from Orkah, someone should go and tell him that Biafra is not about staying in Nigeria, it is about getting out of it. He can lead any organisation he wants, even association of borehole diggers.

I laugh well when I hear useless news like this

Good luck trying how to get out of nigeria

Charles Okah, leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), says he is willing to work for the two splinter groups of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPO) who have fused into The Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra (TRIPOB).
On Friday, TROPOB nominated Okah, who is in Kuje prison and is standing trial on the allegation of masterminding the 2010 Independence Day bombing, to lead their surrender of the Biafran flag to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Responding on Monday, Okah expressed surprise that he, a non-Igbo, was picked to “lead the Igbo group to the Promised Land”.
He said, like TRIPOD, he had “embraced change away from the concept that Biafra has to do with secession from our Fatherland, Nigeria”.
THE FULL STATEMENT
My dear fellow Biafrans,
1. My nomination by two splinter groups from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) – The Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra (TRIPOB) and the Renegade Indigenous People of Biafra (RENIPOB) – as their Leader was brought to my attention in Kuje Prison by my lawyer, Mr. Timipa Jenkins Okponipere, Esq.
2. It came to me as a pleasant but welcome surprise that two pro-Biafra groups, which are more or less synonymous with the Igbo tribe, could consider a non-Igbo to lead them to the Promised Land. This was however, not until I got to understand that TRIPOB had a refreshingly different ideology and approach to the Biafran question.
3. Following my nomination by the two splinter groups who have since merged, and adopted the name: TRIPOB; I took some time to go through their mission statement. I was impressed. And, after consultations with my immediate family and with several stakeholders from across the length and breadth of Biafraland; it is with a sense of history and utmost humility that I, CHARLES TONBRA OKAH, an Ijaw-Biafran from Amassoma in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State do hereby accept to lead TRIPOB.
4. I decided to align myself with TRIPOB because of its respect for the other tribes and indigenous peoples who make up the rich and diverse ‘Biafra region'; indeed, by virtue of its mission statement, thoughtful ideology and cultivated approach TRIPOB has shown that, Biafra is not just an Igbo affair.
5. The passionate, colourful and determined members of TRIPOB have not allowed self-pity and a post-civil war victim mentality to rub off on them. They have embraced change away from the concept that Biafra has to do with secession from our Fatherland, Nigeria.
6. My compatriots in TRIPOB view and see Biafra as a metaphor for greatness within a united Nigeria where the defunct “Biafra Republic,” particularly its endowed land, people and territory can now be transformed into a renaissance of great minds, spirit and enterprise as it contributes in making Nigeria greater and the region a model.
7. Biafra does not belong to a single tribe. It is erroneous therefore for any tribe to single themselves as owning Biafra and to say they have been marginalized.
8. This misconception is deceitful, ungrateful and wicked considering the giant strides my Igbo brothers and sisters continue to make in Nigeria today. From those who own tank farms as captains in the oil and gas sub-sector of the Nigerian economy, to those who have dominated the local movie industry (otherwise known as “NOLLYWOOD”), exporting their culture and language to all parts of the globe. It will only serve the interest of a few persons to deceive the majority of blind followers to start believing they are slaves in this land of opportunities though tongue and tribe may differ.
9. Under my leadership, TRIPOB will help to change the misconception and instead, free our minds to know that the ‘Biafran’ can begin from the villages to the cities of our various states to make them attractive and at the same time, hold our public office holders to account for their stewardship; instead of blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for the ills which have befallen our society.
10. A lazy workman will want to blame his tools. Blaming the Directorate of Security Services (DSS) or the APC-led government for the emergence of factions in IPOB is an insult to the average Biafran who thrives on courage and a mind of their own. Some of the women who left the Women Wing of IPOB did so because they could not understand why Mrs. Uchechi Kanu would be shopping almost every day on the expensive Oxford street in London with proceeds of donations pouring in from donors around the world who have been deceived that their money will help to ‘liberate’ Biafra, when a fraction of that money spent on shopping can upgrade the businesses of those women roasting corn and groundnut by the roadside in our beloved Biafra.
11. Humility comes before honour. Even in prison, not a few concerned persons, particularly Biafrans have argued that Nnamdi Kanu believes he is already the “President of Biafra” and goes about with an ‘entourage’ and is addressed as “His Excellency”. That is a fact I have witnessed myself. This Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) was enough to drive away so many of his admirers who have since flocked in droves and thereby swelled the teeming number of TRIPOB members.
12. Indeed, my administration shall commence by using donations received from Donors to create jobs and upgrade existing small-scale entrepreneurs starting from the markets and roadside from all across the Biafra region. For instance, under my leadership, the woman frying akara (bean cake) on the streets of Yenagoa, Port Harcourt, Uyo, Awka, Onitsha, Calabar, Okigwe, Owerri, Aba, Enugu, etc., will do so in style; complete with all the tools, training, exposure, apparel and standard of a modern fast food enterprise. She can only achieve this with our support.
13. To our hardworking professionals and other migrants from the Biafra region resident and doing business in the Diaspora, my message to them is simple: “DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY IPOB AND NNAMDI KANU’S ANTICS!” Your numerous donations cannot bring about a
secessionist “Biafra Republic”, but they can change the mindset of our people. Your donations and financial support can also help to improve the standard of living of our people when they are channeled into training and loans. Anyone suggesting to you that they want to start a second civil war to ‘liberate’ us is a con artist. Even an Igbo President in Nigeria today will never seat to negotiate a break-up with anybody. A word is enough for the wise!
14. Finally, as the new Chief Executive of TRIPOB, I hereby issue EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 1: That the planned ’surrender’ of the Biafran flag scheduled for January 15, 2017 is hereby cancelled. All preparations towards the ceremony must be put on hold with immediate effect.
15. The surrender of a people can only come from the inside. A man may surrender outwardly, but remain defiant inside. The spirit to be ‘free’ cannot be suppressed. We, as a people can only be bound by our mind and our fears.
Long live the Biafra Spirit!
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
CHARLES TONBRA OKAH
Leader, TRIPOB

Lol, this man no know say dem dey mock him. It's like the prisoners have agreed that Kanu will be in prison for a long time. I pity this Kanu, if he thinks he can play Mandela successfully in Nigeria, then he must be in fools paradise

SpeedOfLight:

Don't be a scorn, even the person I quoted can't find enough defense to criticize my points let alone a nincompoop.

In ur mind u think u have made sense. Delusional.

SpeedOfLight:

Stop this your argument, Nigeria is an inorganic state and will fizzle out. Organic state stands tsunami. Nations are like evolution of people with similar or the same value systems, the name given to them by somebody is just for formalities sake, by default they are organic and agree on numerous agreements. Your Nigeria is a geographical location of diverse value systems and no nation on human existence have survived it and Nigeria will not be exception. Thank you!

Honestly u are not making sense.

SpeedOfLight:

You are not current with realities. Kanu is stronger than ever. Your president was voted into power by 15M people while Kanu control over 70M people if you doubt me ask Bishop Kukar

See delusion. Lord Jesus, give this man some sense

This is the most stupid letter I have ever read. Absolute trash. If u don't sell us weapons, we will buy from China and Russia. Go F urself

SpeedOfLight:
In Kanu Nigeria mate a different Igbo Man. Ojukwu failed because he lacks infotech, Kanu will succeed because he captured media of higher profile.

Higher profile? Maybe higher profile among gullible igbos, not Nigerians. Igbos said more than this during the time of Ojukwu. It's like u don't know Nigeria is full of savages, by the time they are through with him, he will know the difference between London and Abuja. Una never even start at all.

This is the same man Nnamdi Kanu insulted just for been Yoruba, and ordered igbos in Aba not to attend his crusade.

See crowd. Na wa oh. Pastors even pull more crowd than politicians

anaton:


Using another moniker to respond to my comment, eh armed robber! The police are not smiling now.Its shoot at sight for any armed robber o!

Quote me at your peril

See this dull fellow, u better behave matured and stop behaving like a child. U think I have time to be creating creating different monikers just to reply u, who the hell do think u are?

anaton:


Ojukwu took those steps according to you does not mean that the present agitators of the Biafra republic will take those steps.The world is now a global village and everybody including the Nigerian state is needed.That's why we are more advanced than you.You are still stuck in the old ways of doing things whereas we have gone beyond and above you.Quote me at your peril, Armed Robber.

U can keep deceiving urself, u will never eat ur cake and have it. It does not happen anywhere. Ur Biafra is the 5 landlocked unproductive Igbo states. If u are having Biafra, u must pack all ur things and leave. U will never remain in Nigeria and still enjoy the rights other Nigerians enjoy. U are packing out whether u like it or not. So please stop assuming, be real for once. What are u going to do when Nigeria order u people to leave Nigeria when u get Biafra? U can do nothing and U.N will never force us to do anything for u. Advanced by foot. U want to break Nigeria but u still desperately want to leave in it. Idiats

This one is serious oh.

The Ijaws and igbos were never one, so stop all this nonsense

AnusOdourInhaler:

Well, call me whatever you feel like, but I'm not Yoruba.. This is a faceless forum.
All I know is that, any major tribe worth it salt should not be attaching it self to a minority, in fact, the minorities will be the one attaching.

Don't mind them. The yeebos have lost relevance in Nigeria. There is nothing they will do that will make the government shake. The ijaws are now becoming the new power house in the south of Nigeria, because they know how to get the attention of the government, although I don't support their method, but it's effective to them. While the igbos have being agitating for Biafra since 1999, and the government still does not take them serious, it only took the Ijaw militants in Niger delta just 8 months to get FG attention

ikarm17:

Okay, the north and SW brings in Mineral, what does the SE bring?

The SE brings Coccaine and Baby factory

93xtr33r:


You mean your Army General, Oladipo Diya, was ass-banged in prison despite his kneeling down, crying and begging for his life before a junior officer?

Something dey worry you big time...

How about ur fake General Ojukwu dressing and disguising like a prostitute with make up all over his Gorilla face to escape to Ivory Coast, leaving his men and people to die of starvation. U must be having mental problems to still see him as ur hero. U need a doctor urgently

93xtr33r:
If the mouth is regarded as AK-47 the loudmouthed Yorubas would have been world-power by now.

Have Yorubas fought a modern war before?
Just the mere going off of bombs in Ikeja many of these lily-livered cowards ran into a canal and perished...

How about coward Ojukwu who ran away from the battle field like the coward he was. Instead of him to die for his ideology and belief, he preferred to run away like a coward. He should have behaved like hitlar who died for his evil belief than running away.

ArmedRobber:
With all their foolishness and imaginary inventions only Food blockages Ends biafra War

No mind them, them just like to eat but they no sabi how to produce food to make themselves self-Reliant during the civil war. Them go dey boast how them build imaginary battle tanks and missiles, but them no fit produce simple Garri and rice to use survive for the civil war.

pazienza:


Your mumuism no get part 2. I swear.

Didn't Easterners leave your Lagos, Kano, National assembly etc for you and returned to the East in 1966?

Did it stop you parasitic ones from marching all the way down to the East to force your one Nigeria down our throats?

You said we should leave your cities for you, yet you still have Nnamdi Kanu in prison for leading the campaign for Easterners to leave your Arewa-Odualand for you, you still clamp down on IPOB and MASSOB protesters.

You must be bipolar.

And how did u feel when u left other parts of Nigeria then? Immediately U suffered during the civil war and u still went back to the region u left, and this time, u came back as defeated people, with ur over bloated Egos badly bruised, hahahahahahahahahahahA

Ngozi123:


I'm sorry but are you laughing at starving babies? That's disgusting. A word of advice, don't ever let some tribal mudslinging on the internet lower your entire moral values- unless they were already low to begin with . I'm genuinely disgusted by that comment.

On a side note, I doubt many countries could survive a food blockade, hence why it is classed as a war crime. Still a disgusting comment though.

Lol, keep deceiving urself. When hitler invaded Leningrad in the Soviet Union, he imposed a food blockade for many months to force its citizens to surrender. thousands of Russian citizens starved to death, but they did not surrender, until they fought and pushed hitlar army back. Those are the people that were determined to fight to the end. They were not like ur people, who did not understand the consequences of war, nor have the resources to survive through the war, but ignorantly fight

Ngozi123:


I really wish that the Nigerian Government would have the same beliefs as you because if they did then we would have our freedom by now.

lol, I wish u get ur freedom oh. So will see who prosper at the end. Ordinary food blockade in the civil war led to death 1 million biafrans. So much for self-reliance. lol

pazienza:


Why is this Shameless Yorubaman still bleating all over the place.

Ndiigbo are parasites? Duh, isn't it natural for hosts to get rid of parasites? Why is it that in the case of Nigeria, it's the parasites who are eager to dump the hosts, while the hosts are holding on to the parasites like leeches.

Surely this is against the natural order of things.

Yes oh we want to get rid of u parasites. That's why Governor Ambode of Lagos threatened u people to leave Lagos. But to this day, no single Igbo man has left Lagos for the east. We want to get rid of u parasites, but u parasites badly want to remain with host. Leave other parts of Nigeria in ur millions, like Kano, Lagos, ogun etc, then we know u are serious. U can never eat ur cake and have, it never happens. U can never have Biafra and still remain in Nigeria as citizens, enjoying the same rights as other Nigerians. It will never happen. The earlier u leave those states, the better for u and ur Biafra agitation. Parasites.
