PappyMason:
Osun is the Somalia of Nigeria.
How can you mention acute famine and not bring up osun?

tobiasbeecher:
Well i don't know you in real life, but you strike me as a very intelligent man! Your comments are always full of education

MaziOmenuko:
Nsogbu adighi. Agbacha oso, aguo mile

sukkot:
so when you create this biafra, the likes of theodore orji and orji kalu will stop existing ? and if i remember correctly it is your people who support corrupt people and hate upright people. it is your people demonstrating when saraki was facing corruption charges, same with diezani and jonathan. your people call it ' witch hunting '. so all these corrupt people will disappear once you form biafra ?

ikevin:
funny enough am a deltan-ibo. With your so called human resources, how come SE is largely underdeveloped? Answer lies with your political leaders yet again. You guys are so filled with hate goodness!!!! Can you remind us the reasons for this agitation please.

MaziOmenuko:
This your comment just called you out! You are shallow, myopic and too daft to comprehend issues regarding development. Go and join the boys waving Biafra flags on the streets.

Raiders:
who told you states in Nigeria can't develop and diversify their economy without interfering with the federal government? The problem with Nigeria is that state governors are lazy and only depend on free federal government money. There is no law stopping a state governor from building factory, developing their agriculture, expanding commercial trades so as to increase their revenues. Besides apart from oil, most resources in Nigeria are not really economically viable. There is nothing really wrong with our constitution because its similar to that of the US and the US is doing fine

laudate:
Aren't those leaders part of your larger SE community? Are you saying the entire adult citizenry of a state that run into millions, cannot hold their leaders accountable? Are you saying one man can hold the entire citizens of a state to ransom?

So why do your people keep turning up in their thousands to vote them into power??

If you are so afraid of holding your leaders accountable now, what magic would you then use to hold them accountable when you finally achieve Biafra Just wondering.

MaziOmenuko:
Good luck with your freedom. I am not a slave, I have already found my freedom here in Nigeria. I have a sense if belonging and don't depend on the government for my daily needs.

Maybe you should get useful too and don't wait on the governemt to prepare a table before you.

ikevin:
yet again like your brothers, you reply with insults. Does diversification mean only exploration of minerals.? How has your IGR profile being so far, how willing are companies interested in siting in SE, how much tax is collected per month, what of human resources? Very little can be said of the SE, and it is the doings of your governors, senators, representatives majorly.

MaziOmenuko:
Lol...read the paragraph I quoted from your post again, you were the one agitating for oil that is not inside your Biafra states. Now you are changing the goal post after being called out.

You are the one that needs growing up because you evidently haven't read up on the Biafra war and how the oil rich states you are currently hoping on abandoned your Biafra struggle when the chicken came home to roost.
For your info, it is still the Igbos at PH that are disturbing the peace of that state with silly street march. Stop decievibg yourself. What we elders see while lying down, you kids will not see even I'd u climb an iroko.

ikevin:
that misguided youths are carrying flags on the street does not represent the thoughts of the populace. You talked about diversification, how much of that have your SE governors done. You blame FG for everything.

Ishilove:
Fantastic writeup. Makes a whole lot of sense.

They want Biafra yet they cannot hold their own leaders accountable for the underdevelopment of the SE

MaziOmenuko:
Please, which of the oil producing states are you going to drag into the Biafra? You campaigns for the rights for a group to determine where they belong, Rivers State, Delta, Akwa ibom also has a right to determine where to belong and as it is, they are staying put in Nigeria; are toy planning to drag them alongside with you even against their wish?

It is glaringly obvious that you are hoping to sustain the Biafra in your mind with oil from states in Nigeria.

Lol...I laugh at your myopic thinking.

CrazyMan:
Exactly my brother IPOB is an evil cult just like boko haram.

I wonder why the average igbo youth can't even reason. Even if Biafra is to become a reality, now is certainly not the time. Cos we aren't economically capable of shouldering the responsibilities and challenges we're definitely going to encounter.

Let our youths channel their aggression towards our leaders and demand for a better leadership in the south east.

MizMyColi:

When I saw this thread, I was wondering about and juxtaposing the accolades he receives abroad and the bile he receives from some folks.
If this man is as bad as being painted, surely, "America would have known" and wouldn't dare have a thing to do with him.

Btw, I look forward to reading a nice statement from Buhari (pre 2014) about Nigeria and her people.
He seemed to lack the capacity to speak in such manner then as his statements were usually antagonistic, and somewhat incitive.

Eugenedimgba:
I'm igbo though.Just give one of these protesters a suya prepared by an Hausa on a chilly Sunday evening and the next thing you will hear is "Nna one Nigeria biko".

President Jonathan who arrived the institute accompanied by a delegation from the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, also advocated the readiness of Nigeria and Africa for the sustenance of democratic principles, peace and people-oriented governance.

His hosts described him as a ‘Hero of Democracy’ in Africa, a nation builder and sustainer of true democratic principles and good governance

Gbawe:
just look at the ridiculous amount of Nigeria's wealth the PDP has stolen. Imagine if even 50% of the looted funds was deployed towards the infrastructural development of Nigeria? I think, conservatively, Jonathan would have supervised the theft of at least $60 billion, or much more, over the 5 years he was President of Nigeria. Thank goodness the PDP is gone and will stay banished for good.

PassingShot:
Nigeria is surely lucky for getting delivered from PDP and GEJ. They messed up our economy.

All the companies blamed negative economic environment and global oil price crash for their declining performance. They also cited foreign exchange related losses, post-currency devaluation as well as delayed payments of petroleum products subsidies to downstream operators as leading causes of the bad fortune adding that year end and beyond look bleak in the face of what they call “dull policy moment in the oil and gas sector.”

citizenY:
Please be real. Which body of laws are We using now.... On Maryland forum We have laws and you are telling me We have no constitution

I did not realise I was engaging a troll. Can you please move on.. Am done

citizenY:
Perhaps you do not realize that the legislature is the sole lawmaker, going by our current constitution. The constitution is the foundation. Whatever is agreed at any confab must be made into a law. In effect, you cannot bypass the legislature.

The prudent thing, to my mind is for constituents to mandate their reps to do the needful. The dilemma here is that We shall still go back to lawmakers, who,you want to avoid for obvious reasons. In additon, the the e'er political infrastructure you detest is,what the law recognised. I do not want to go into the subject of how they came about. All I can say is that the electoral infrastructure is based on specified voting units, for example the polling units.

Honestly, this confab should not be a partisan issue every community has its expectations. It is fruitless playing the blame game when the confab report has not even been submitted to the legislature. In effect , people had a conclave and went back to sleep.

I am amused at your suggestion that Tinubu is thinking for me when We are having an interface with you on the same subject and my views do not necessarily agree with his. Unfortunately, robust debate is not convenient in cyberspace due to time and space constraints.

citizenY:
I am all for creating an enabling environment for Nigeria to move forward and the confab was supposed to produce covenants that will chart the way forward.

Something is wrong with all of us , not the north alone if one section reneges on agreed positions. More blame should be placed on the others for allowing such.

However, I have always questioned the composition of that confab as it may nit have effectively captured the depth and spread of our country by way of geography, interests tribe and tongue.

Honestly, I thought the two national and state assemblies could have been a better platform, not all those compromised and geriatric bunch We had there. Let's face it, the legislature, not the confab, has the power to make laws. The confab h as been reduced to its bare bones... talkshop and Jonathan ploy to harvest the support of federalists and specifically the SW.Maybe APC saw the trick and refused to join.

Finally, I still are the legislators, being more representative of the people should be brave enough to do the job with inputs from pressure groups and constituents. They should earn their pay..


Not one should spend our money in another jamboree.

Yeske2:
Oh please, stop yapping for him and don't tell me you never knew i said Onitsha, Nkpor precisely and not too far from that arena is where i reside and not any area around Awka.
Listen guys, going through my past posts, never a time i opposed anything Biafran but the ideology is what i'm after, i oppose those who only come online to shout IPOB but sit in the comfort of their room when the struggle hits the fan. I'm pro Biafra, check my older posts before this march but the ideology is what matters most to most people.

ProfessorPeter:
the north seems to be powerful because the southern part of Nigeria especially my Yoruba gave them such power. Until yoruba join hands with SS and SE to tame the north, am sorry this nonsense must continue. That is why i am mobilizing SS for Biafra

noblezone:
I know that the die hard Nigerians will avoid this thread. I want them to see another reason why we want Biafra.
