Nonaira1: Nnamdi Kanu stated that the day our women join us is the day biafra will become reality. I noticed ever since more igbo women are fighting for biafra, the birth of Biafra is near.
The same women Nnamdi Kanu tagged prostitutes? 99.9% of Igbo girls are prostitutes - Nnamdi Kanu - Director of Radio Biafra London
Warship: The same useless OBJ you are praising could not touch the life of Uwazuruike who was a local champion then
Uwazuruike never challenged OBJ, else OBJ would have locked him up and thrown away the key. When Asari tried it, he tasted Kiri kiri and nothing happened.
Do you think the idiot called OBJ can touch Kanu who has international supporters
Abeg name these international supporters and what they can do if Kanu is locked up.
Don't pray for war against the Biafrans if you don't want to find yourself as a refuge in Togo or Benin republics.
You are telling me that Biafran army or should I say BSS can take on the Nigerian military? Interesting. Please when shit hit the ceiling, I do not want to hear wailings of ICC and human rights.
tit: buratai will soon be tied up like a pig and carried away to international criminal court
You people ( I mean Biafrans) like threatening, boasting and chest beating, but when shit hit the ceiling, you start to wail ICC, UN and human right. If OBJ was not tied up and carried away to ICC for Odi and Zaki-Biam. Even General Malu's home town and surrounding villages were ransacked by OBJ with hundreds of people massacred and the ICC did not bat an eye lid. The same Buratai you hate massacred Shiites and imprisoned their leader just a couple of years ago and the ICC had not even coughed. What makes you think the ICC would care over Kanu and his IPOB members. If kanu makes the mistake of killing Nigerian soldiers, buhari would make Odi look like kindergarten, and ICC, UN and US would not bat an eye lid. Have ICC made any statement concerning Kim jong un or tied Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar to of to Hague over the massacre and forceful ejection of the Rohingya ethnic minority?
superman: Every blessed day they just keep writing rubbish
Una dey tire self
Just go through your post and conclusively believe your strike an objection.
Op do not let Kanu disgrace you . Afonjas like u with all your acclaimed knowledge still believe oduduwa fell from the sky.
Even at that u voted for boko harem Buhari because Thiefbunu asked you to.
Now you have come to address us.
This can only happen in the zoo. Obj drIed oil national coffee and asked you to go and pray. Afonja pastor paid a visit to Buhari that have destroyed so many home yet people like you carry on like everything is okay.
You are here to try to tell us you are smarter
Same senseless rants. I still ask why can't you guys talk about Biafra without mentioning afonja, Tinubu, Yoruba, Buhari, etc. It seem the hatred of these people are your sole argument for Biafra.
dudebuck: He was a mere presidential candidate. Ojukwu could have met even Alex Ekwueme, It is very clear that this is a lie from the put of hell, he is saying this now because Ikemba is dead and anything can be attributed to him without fear of him responding. Well Ikemba's own son has come out to refute that statement, but Afonjas and other slaves who even if the peodophile gives them his sh1t to, they will gobble it up, are here to try to shove the lie down our throats. The dailytrust website has no such information, allofica is nit dailytrust website and is not operated by dailytrust. Bianca was a full grown woman when she married Ojukwu.
What do you mean by "mere" Presidential candidate? You call the presidential candidate of one of the three major parties then a "mere" Presidential candidate. Remember he was also a "mere" Presidential candidate in 2015 when many high profile diplomats and world leaders went to visit him. Why would Ojukwu have gone to see Alex Ekwueme in 2003? Was he contesting for any position?
You seem to be only one that is ignorant of the fact that Ojukwu did not have a particularly good relationship with his sons. Before his death, did you see Ojukwu's pictures with his sons together, except those birthed by bianca? There was no way the son could have known who Ojukwu visits on a daily basis. They both were living their separate lives.
How do you know that daily trust had no such information? Do you work for daily trust or do you have access to the archive of daily trust. Allafrica.com is making reference of daily trust for the story. I know it is not beyond your capacity to accuse allfrica of being an afonja newspaper or a Lagos - Ibadan media.
So Bianca was a full grown woman but Aisha was a half grown woman abi? Now let me break down the numbers to show you who was morally bankrupt between the two; Buhari married Aisha in 1987. Buhari was 47 years while Aisha was 18. Aisha was given in hand to Ojukwu by the parents of aisha.
Ojukwu married Bianca in 1994. Ojukwu was 61years while bianca was 27. Ojukwu married Bianca without the consent of her parents. In fact Bianca's father felt betrayed by his best friend - Ojukwu. It was after 8 years after the children had been born that the father had to accept the marriage.
dudebuck: so being a presidential candidate is the same as holding a position? Yeye people. as daft as a coconut.
People hold meetings with presidential candidates of major political parties all over the world simply because there is a possibility of him or her becoming the next president. Trump held meeting with many world leaders before the presidential elections. Marine Le-Pen held meetings with many world leaders including trump and Putin before the french presidential elections. Many ambassadors met with Buhari before the last elections, so i do not see the big deal in Ojukwu going to have a meeting with Buhari.
dudebuck: Even after retirement, If it was said that Ikemba visited ie Gowon and they made such a discussion, or even Obasanjo or Babangida, that would be a different case, not this fraud that calls himself buhari, What position was the fraud called buhari aka the peodophile occupy at the time that Ikemba paid him the visit and they made the agreement. Okay let me help you, General Adekunle visted me in 2003 and we agreed that Nigeria must be broken into peices.
You are asking what position Buhari held in 2003? You must be too young and juvenile to know Nigeria's history. Buhari was the presidential candidate of a major political party in 2003. Even in professional accomplishments Buhari is way above Ojukwu. Buhari attained the rank of Major General in the Nigerian army, Ojukwu was buried a colonel. Buhari attained the position of the head of state, apart from being a governor, a minister and PTF chairman. Ojukwu only held the post of a governor.
If you call Buhari a pedophile, what will you call Ojukwu? a cradle robber?
Nigeria will not be broken into pieces as you wish, the best wish you can get is for you to carry your people out of Nigeria, and even that is a mission impossible.
Now, for the prodigal son that should be worried about receiving some crumbs from his fathers and grand fathers inheritance from his step mother instead of betraying his ignorance of his fathers businesses, here is a link to educate him and his followers;
Nigeria: Ojukwu Visits Buhari in Daura - 20th May 2003
Daura — Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, yesterday visited the presidential candidate of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), General Muhammadu Buhari, in Daura, with a pledge to forge a common front with him to fight for justice and a better Nigeria.
Ojukwu, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the just concluded presidential election, told hundreds of well wishers who welcomed him to Buhari's Daura home that the visit was aimed at ensuring a more united and greater nation. - http://allafrica.com/stories/200305200233.html
greenpasture: The only armies in Africa that can give Nigeria a tough time are SA, Egypt, Algeria ( and strangely enough Sudan) . No one else in West Africa for sure. Chad ke? They want to surrender their oil?
You forgot the Ethiopians. They are one of a very few handful of countries that had never lost a war and about the only country that had never been colonized. They even trounced Mussolini's army silly during WW2.
Fawklicant: Oh! But yes he was. And your attempt at making the poor man appear like a hero is already backfiring. He has been disobeying direct orders since 1980BC. He always thinks he knows better than 189million Nigerians. Now as a so-called military tactician, he didn't know that by engaging enemy forces in a chase very close to their capital, that he risked turning a minor conflict into a full scale war?
Any nation would raise their military alert to amber a such incursion. Imagine cameroonian forces around suleija or around Sagamu or Mowe?
He's always been a dullard.
I am always amazed on how someone who had never joined the Boys Scout will be lecturing a US trained military general on military tactics.
Chasing the Chadian forces 50km to their capital was a surprise move and in a war, the element of surprise is the most potent weapon. Buhari could have taken the capital if he wanted simply because the Chadians were highly unprepared for a full onslaught. Same tactics was used by Sadam Hussein on Kuwait. Kuwait city was taken in an overnight surprised attack. Same tactics Ariel Sharon used in taken the Suez Canal from Egypt.
If Buhari who successfully defended nigeria against Chadian occupation is a dullard, then what are you? What thing of note outside keyboard attacks on social media have you ever achieved?
SalamRushdie: The poor judgement and crass disregard for constitutional authority and common sense at play again by the wild Herdsman turned quota system general .Shagari should have dismissed him immediately and today Nigerian economy would have been the best in Africa and maybe the middle east but Shagari spared him allowing Buhari to again disregard our constitution to overthrow a democratically elected president which was the point where Nigeria lost direction till date ..
Instead of you to be at least thankful for buhari for protecting you from foreign aggression, you are here displaying hatred. If Nigeria becomes weak as a result of balkanization or instability as you guys are advocating, we will be highly vulnerable to attacks on three fronts by very aggressive neigbours, all controlled by France, Cameroon, Niger and chad.
You guys seem to forget that Buhari is a US trained general, so you cannot question him on military strategy. What was the point of wasting the lives of your officers just to drive your aggressor to the border and leave them there, for them to settle and plan an attack again. Buhari carried out the best military strategy by showing them that he could take N’Djamena if wanted and Nigeria would not spare them again if they attack us. That is how the Israeli General instil fear and respect on its hostile Arab neighbours.
EmekaBlue: You see, like I said *with the same weapon power* they will finish the nigerian army. Even with what they manage not well armed than NA who even have air support,they still manage to pose a big threat and have being slaying NA...then imagine them with alot of tankers and air support.
False. With same weapons the Nigerian military will trounce most military in Africa. If you are close to a senior military officer or even a mid ranking officer, you will know the amount of rigorous training our officers used to go through before advancing up the ladder. They went for training in the UK, India, Pakistan, sometimes in the US. Officers exams are set and marked by foreigners so the issue of cheating did not arise. Nigerian infantry soldiers are one of the best in the world outside the British and probably the Israelis. Note, Ethiopia also has very good infantry. Nigerian military has excelled in every major external conflict they participated in ie; Burma, Congo, Sierria Leone, Liberia, Only in the Sudan peace keeping under Jonathan that the Nigerian military performed woefully. This was due to lack of adequate arms and lack of motivation of the officers because of unchecked corruption.
Boko Haram was a problem due to two main issues. First was that it was an internal insurgency and not a war, so an outright military onslaught was not possible. Secondly, and most importantly, Boko Haram had supporters within the military, government and civil society, so the Nigerian government and military was being sabotaged from within. Another important fact was that Boko Haram became an industry with lots of people profiting from it - Top Generals, Top politicians, local and international negotiators, they did not want it to end.
Bizibi: you must be insane,a president that is not fit fr job is wasting tax payers money on his health and we are not sure if it is an ailment that is being managed......hardworking Nigerians who pay tax every month in this hardship need to know what is going on. As fr me,I will stop paying that tax fr now infact it is better I move my biz elsewhere...... There is a nairalander that pays 1m a month and you expect people who pay such amount a month to govt to smile as a sycophant.
Arguing with you guys is like arguing with a schizophrenic, you argue all over the place without discussing the subject at hand.
If you argue that Nigerians deserves to know the state of health of the president, there is no argument. But for you to say Nigerians are wasting tax payers money on the health of the president you are exhibiting ignorance of the laws of the land. I have educated you that Nigeria would have still wasted Tax payers money on Buhari's health even if Jonathan had won the last elections, simply because tax payers are responsible for the medical bills of all former heads of state and their spouse until they die. If your hero Jonathan or his wife (mama peace) should fall ill today, Nigerian tax payers would be responsible for his medical bills.
stephleena: smh,femi is such a stupid man..so buhari has the right as a president, to be treated by the monies of Nigerians, and we shouldn't know the nature of his illness? wat type of daylight robbery is this?indimis should take up his bills,if not buhari would never recover from his predicament.. nonsense..
Hatred is a destructive emotion, it destroys a mans soul and sense of reasoning. All former presidents and their wives are to be treated by monies of Nigerians until they die. That is the constitution. The same privilege applies to all governors and their wives. Akpabio even tries to monetise this medical expenses on a yearly basis, whether the ex-governor and his wife falls ill or not.
Now, which country's president or head of state will fall sick and people will expect him to personally bear the medical expenses. The main concern of some hateful citizens is the cost of medical expenses. I
obipemma: Go and fight Northerners who explore and exploit your oil without you doing anything. Don't you know that the Orligachs of Nigeria (Hausa and Yoruba) exercise restraint in dealing with you people because of Igbos.
successmatters: What will they offer Biafra, apart from their ogogoro?
They never said they are ready to offer Biafra anything, it is Biafrans that do not allow them to rest. It it your mouth they are using to dring Ogogoro?
attackgat: Basically Ijaw IYC is just Urhobo UPU. Both are just organisations commited to begging the North for resource control and restructuring inside Nigeria.
Very laughable that two organisations that claim to speak for their ethnic nationalities and support self determination are only interested in begging for their own property.
Cuche: That man is not the only person who has expressed amazements at the speed of the police statements. Are Nigerian Police so dumb? In 2013, worshippers, more than 100 of them died in a Catholic Retreat Center at Uke Anambra State. The Police made a statement as dumb as this one and waved the matter aside. We heard stories of a woman frying akara by the roadside and an explosion from the hot oil causing the panic. I agree there is every possibility of drug lords squaring it out but why inside the Church and who was the assassin , which categories of extremist are known to disregard supposedly holy places? Can we safely explore the options that the killers could be imported from Chad, Niger, Somalia and Sambisa forests. Mr Ikegwuonwu should sue the hell out of those media houses, joining the police if at all they named him, in the suit.
So because the man expressed doubts over police report makes him intelligent? His reason is even more ridiculous, he is simply reinforcing IPOB's position that the murders must be outsiders presumably Fulani herdsmen or Boko Haram, his only evidence being the speed at which the police came out with the Drug war story.
Now you answer this if it was Boko Haram, why kill only 12 people? Boko Haram would have killed almost everybody in the church and probably set it ablaze, and then Shakau would boast about it a few days later. Fulani herdsmen have not been known to attack churches, they attack villages and towns, especially those that they have disagreements with over grazing of their cows.
Now read this from a citizen of Ozubulu
By Somuadila Ugwummadu
Following different versions of false news peddled by the Nigerian media and most regrettably, respected individuals, to narrate the very unfortunate incident that happened at St Philips Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu, We, in our culture has dug out the details of this event and how it deteriorated to the August 6 massacre.
Aloysius Ikegwuonu (Bishop), presently a drug baron in South Africa, was born in 1981 to the family of Chief Ikegwuonu, Amakwa Ozubulu. He grew up in a very poor home and often helped his mother who trades at Orie Akpu market, Off Ugwu Orie Bus Stop, Amakwa Ozubulu. 'Aloyee' as fondly called by his friends in his early youth stage, first came to limelight in 1999 when he became the senior prefect of Comprehensive Secondary School, C.S.S., (formerly College of Basic Studies, C.B.S.) Egbema Ozubulu; a school founded by Reverend Father Nwabaju Izuchi, a United States based Catholic priest.
Right after his secondary school studies which he finished after his May/June WASSCE examination in the year 2000, he traveled out to South Africa on March 2001 where he became a multi millionaire within his first four (4) months of his stay there. He came back nine (9) months later (December 2001) and splashed his money around. This was the first major drug deal advert in Ozubulu, a land formerly known for the bravery of her indigenes, tranquility and high moral standards. (This seed Aloyee planted did not take time to bear fruits.)
With this, Aloyee attracted many friends to himself especially his school mates at C.S.S.. They indicated interest to serve him and do whatever he wants them to do as long as they will end up as 'successful' as he is and as quick as he made it. There was an exodus of Ozubulu youths to South Africa between the years 2004-2007. With these many people around him, Aloyee who had adopted the name 'Bishop' in South Africa needed someone he could trust better. He went for his best friend in the aforementioned secondary school, Ginika Nwoke.
Ginika, alias Giniyee, hailed from Mbaise in Imo State; he is an orphan and the only child of his parents. He grew up with his uncle, Ite Ego (a butcher at Orie Akpu market, Ugwu Orie Ozubulu) all through his childhood and adolescent age. He gained admission to study Psychology at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka in the year 2001 and was living at an unpainted two storey building, a lodge for students, about 100 meters from Unizik temporary site junction. Due to pressure from Bishop, he abandoned his university education just after his 200 level. Giniyee's room mate at the University was Nonso Ewulu, alias Ajagara Igwe, who studied Political Science in the same university 2001-2005. Ajagara Igwe was also Giniyee and Bishop's classmate at C.S.S. Ozubulu.
Bishop's notorious act began with his own mother. He allegedly sacrificed his mother (who had rejected his ill wealth) to occult group. This allegation seemed more truthful when he refused to raised a stone at his mother's grave. Bishop leveled his father's home with an interlocking tiles months after his mother's death and till today, you cannot identify his mother's grave in his father's compound.
To douse this rumor, Bishop engaged in an aggressive philanthropic aid. He renovated most churches at Ozubulu (particularly St Michael's Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu) the Igwe's palace and instituted a charity foundation. He also penetrated the state government, donates to the state police and the local vigilante groups.
These events were happening so fast, Bishop was audacious, intimidating and energetic. His friends that traveled to South Africa had started complaining about him: his intimidation and oppression; killings had started; it has become the survival of the fittest, the jungle of beasts. More than six (6) people had died, all from Anambra State in some misunderstanding between Bishop's group of drug cartel and many more groups of drug cartel in South Africa. Even at this stage, no one took any information about Bishop so seriously. Life went on and on and on.
The peak of this crisis was in a clash between Bishop and his best friend, Giniyee. Bishop claimed he handed Giniyee a package (hard drug) to deliver to a buyer but ended up with some cooked up stories with the intention of duping him. Giniyee denied this, but stated that Bishop's enemy ambushed him at the point of delivery (in what seemed more like a set up) and made away with the package -a package worth hundred of millions of naira.
It got so heated that it was reported to the Igwe of Ozubulu who summoned the two with their families and pleaded for all to exercise patience till the truth be revealed. Bishop rejected Igwe's verdict and swore that "isi ga ada" (meaning that 'head must fall') within some months if his money is not remitted back to him.
Few months later, the stunning news broke out, September 2015, Ginika Nwoke was shot died in the city of South Africa, the only child, an orphan with a wife and a little girl was killed. An Igbo adage says that "ihe mee onye ara, i mara na onwere mmadu" (meaning that when something happens to a mad man, you will know he has people). Mbaise indigenes made it clear that the only thing that will suffice them is a revenge, Bishop must be killed or a total war against Bishop and his kindred.
Situation started to deteriorate; between October 2015 and March 2017, Ozubulu youths were gunned down on monthly basis in South Africa. The owner of Vacarmata (located around Michael Junction, Egbema Ozubulu) Mr Obinna Ebuzeme, Mrs Nchedo (Nkwado's wife) and many others, especially the alumni of C.S.S. have been killed.
Since then, Bishop attends occasions with over 50 security personnels, very intimidating entourage, but Mbaise indigenes had not given up. In this latest event, he came back July 2017, he is still being tracked. Investigations revealed that he was to be gunned down on Sunday, August 6, 2017 at St Philips Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu, a church he built himself, from the foundation to the roof. Mysteriously, he got the news and escaped from Amakwa at mid night (Saturday, August 5, 2017).
The killers invaded his church still assuming he was there, opened fire and killed more than a dozen people. To prove it was targeted and purposed to get at Bishop, Bishop's father ran away the church building with a bullet shot but the killers chased after him and shot him severally to ensure he dies.
OUR STAND We should all take responsibility. Rather than caution Bishop and reject his wealth, he was celebrated and most regrettably, by churches and others. We also believe that Igwe Ozubulu should have done better. This matter tarried for too long. It does not take a lot to set up a peace committee between Ozubulu and Mbaise. With this recent massacre, the death toll on Bishop's case has risen to over 40 people from 2015 till date.
ADVICE From report, this notorious Bishop has stepped on many toes. This particular attack might not necessarily had come from Mbaise people. Many groups are chasing after Bishop. Hence, we advice Ozubulu elders to ostracize Bishop indefinitely till this matter is resolved.
Churches, the state government and individuals should dissociate themselves from Bishop to discourage our younger generation from desperation for wealth. Any bill board with his image at Ozubulu and environs should be taken down immediately.
We also entreat Ozubulu and Mbaise elders to set up a reconciliation committee. Ginika Nwoke's family must be approached with all humility, sincerity and respect; not because we believed Ginika's testimony but because we want peace to return to Amakwa Ozubulu for the sake of the innocent ones and Igbo tribe at large.
The problem with Nigerians is that we like playing the ostrich, we stick our heads in the sand when faced with painful truths. Instead of us to listen to plain truths supported by raw data, diagnose the problem and find solution, we get defensive and attack or even assassinate the messenger, leaving completely the message.
Yes, over 80% of Nigerians caught abroad (ie, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, South Africa, India) are Igbo by tribe, In South Africa it can be as high as 95%. Instead of the affected states, tribes and communities to look for solutions to curtail the disgrace and apparent Danger, they are waging war on anyone who dares talks about it.
Yes, all tribes have their vices, and certain vices are known with specific tribes or ethnic groups. For example Nigerian prostitutes in European countries especially Italy are likely to be of Edo ethnic origin. 419 (Bank and credit card fraud) in UK and US is likely to be Yoruba. Lottery scam, Inheritance scam, and Relationship scam has good representation of Yoruba and Igbo. The Hausas and northerners in general are almost never involved in online scams or even drug business, they are more known for terrorism.
If these Drug lords are not curtailed, it will turn Nigeria to Columbia or Mexico, because the Drug barons will use their ill gotten wealth to control the politics, the police, the courts and the economy. It is the communities that will suffer when the battle for supremacy between various drug lords erupts.
As i have always insisted, the Bane of the Nigerian society is celebration of criminals by the society (the people, the religious leaders and the traditional institutions) and the Get rich quick syndrome. It is destroying the nation, the communities and our families.
Bankole and Farouk were young leaders young thieves.
Gowon, Murtala and OBJ, Buhari and Idiagbon, and IBB were all in their early 30s and 40s . . . mtcheeewww.
We have a fundamental problem: corruption cheered on by family, friends, religion, and a twisted society at large.
Gbam!. Just like love, leadership is not about age. It is about maturity, ideas and ideals, intelligence, ability to command respect and vision. Unfortunately, most of these traits are lacking in our youths today.
Macron did not win the elections by touting his age and deriding his seniors. He concentrated solely on what he has to offer.
Eluwilussit: In response to this particular post, I do agree that Arewa youths are responding to Kanu's demand for referendum. Please, do tell, what is wrong in holding a referendum in the SE to determine what they want? Isn't it a universal practice?
You lie! Arewa youth are not responding to Kanu's demand for a referendum, they are responding to kanu's insults on Hausa/Fulani's elders, youths and in fact every Nigerian.
His Radio Biafra was set up to spew hate speeches, antagonize and insult Nigerians and not to promote Biafra through peace and dialogue.
Kanu initially was not demanding for a referendum, he was demanding for war. It was only recently he started asking for a referendum.
Nobody supports Kanu's insults. Every sensible Nigerian should be against his vituperations. Does his arrogance remove anything from the need to renegotiate our union?
Most people feel Igbos give tacit support to his activities, very few igbos come out to condemn his hate speeches, even here on nairaland, and those that do are labelled all sorts of names.
Arewa youths can't ask igbos to leave the north and enforce it. The FG will decide when the time comes. And that time will be after we have let the igbos go, if they decide to go in a referendum. Untill then, any Nigerian has the right to reside anywhere in Nigeria. If it comes to parting of ways, Biafra and Nigeria will have bilateral agreements on how to exist as neigbhours.
Under normal circumstances, what you said is correct, but under the current emotionally charged atmosphere, anything can happen. Yes, the government needs to be proactive in bringing the situation under control.
The Area youth's anger is that if you hate Nigeria and Fulanis so much, why continue to live and trade among them? It is not compulsory to have bilateral relations with any country. If Biafra secedes acrimoniously, Nigeria can decide to severe all relationships with Biafra.
Nobody needs to die or lose properties for Biafra to be achieved. Same goes for our unity. Negotiation is the way out. Not bullish stubborness.
If Biafra is all about hatred of Nigeria as being promoted by Kanu, then Nigeria deserves the right to deport and ban all biafrans from entering Nigeria ( remember Trump's travel ban). In that case how will the biafrans keep their properties if they can't enter Nigeria. After a while, the properties will become abandoned properties.
In as much as I agree Edwin Clark has a point, I am highly suspicious of his motives. This is a man who had been involved with every government since Gowon. He was minister of information under Gowon. Under president Jonathan, he was the closest adviser and confidant of the president. In all these years in the corridors of power, he did not realize the need of restructuring, he did not realize the marginalization and exploitation of the nigerdelta. But after Buhari became president and he lost influence on the federal level, he immediately had the Damascus road experience, he suddenly became a born again nigerdelta freedom fighter. We have seen many of his type come and go, ie Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boyloaf, etc, who started out as nigerdelta freedom fighters only to end up as nigerdelta billionaires.
The type of restructuring people like Chief Edwin Clark is talking about is one that will allocate oil blocks to himself or restructure his bank account.
We need someone like Ken Sari wiwa to rise up from the Niger delta and pick up the struggle, not opportunities like Edwin Clark, Dokubo, and co.
unohbethel: Am always shockd to d bone to see people In This Forum stil sayin dat if biafra is actualized,dat all igbos still livin in the country must go or they will be forcefully chased out of nigeria..
The worst part is that these set of peopl making those statements in NL have all graduated from secondary school. some into d universities and others workin beats my imagination..
Wat type of education is that.Thats the result u get from the implementation of the useless quota system. no wonder NK called those youths wo gave igbos quit notice as illiterates.
Now my question to these set of people is:
We al agree dat Britain did a great wrong to all of us by colonizin us..our fore fathers even fought for our independence, then y are we stil traveling to Britain since we know dat they wrongd us by colonizin us?
Truth is:no nation is an island.that the igbos got biafra doesnt mean dat those wo wish to stay in Nigeria wont.
how is it that a secondary school graduate doesnt know dis? am ashamd of 9ja.
No need of long arguments over who is literate between you and those saying biafrans would be asked to leave after secession, just read the debate between UK and Europe under Brexit;
UK confirms Brexit will end free movement of EU citizens
Downing Street insisted on Monday that it remained committed to the tough Brexit negotiating stance that Theresa May set out earlier this year — including ending the free movement of EU citizens in the UK — after days of contradictory statements from ministers.
IPOB youths seem to exhibit high levels of political nativity. Boycotting elections in third world countries play into the hands of the government in power thereby defeating the whole struggle ( whatever the struggle is). All the government needs is number of registered voters, the actual votes can be easier to allocate if there is voter apathy. A typical example is the recent elections in Venezuela where the opposition boycotted the elections;
Venezuela says 8 million voted in election that opposition decries as a sham
Electoral Council President Tibisay Lucena announced just before midnight Sunday that turnout was 41.53%, or 8,089,320 people. The count was met with mockery and anger from members of the opposition, who said they believed between 2 million and 3 million people voted. Julio Borges, president of the opposition-led National Assembly, said only 7% of the electorate had voted — a silent protest of Maduro's power grab, which would slam the brakes on democracy. http://amp.usatoday.com/story/523646001/
