there are better approaches to seceding from a country you no longer want to be part of. Not by organizing senseless dumb protests and being a nuisance to the society.
nnamdi kanu has made you believe biafra can only be achieved through violence
. you can keep going out there and getting shot at if it helps you sleep at night. Nigeria is bigger than the scam called Biafra

What you should ask your self is how you sleep at night knowing that your armed forces are commiting murder by shooting unarmed protesters? You think the issue here is Biafra? It is not. It could be you, your loved ones, friend, relative or neigbour who is out on streets tomorow protesting against anything from deregulation to economic downturn or even economic poilcy or the other. Should they be shot for protesting too? Or you think that the Nigerian security forces are going to ask if it is a Biafran protest or not before they open fire?

I was watching the news yesterday and they showed that there is a massive protest against the police in Paris, France. I was watching as protesters were attacking the French police with dangerous items. They throwing sticks, stones and even petrol bombs at the police but guess what? The French Police never responded with live ammunition. They used mainly teargas. Why didnt French police shoot violent protesters but Nigeria will shoot the ones that are not even violent?

If Nigeria is not as civilised as France let them say so. If the Nigerian Police and Army are not as professional and disciplined as the French, then let them come out and admit it.

After the Governments admits it is a faliure, let it hold a referendum to allow those who want to aspire to reach the level of France to carry on outside Nigeria while you Nigerians can carry on the shooting of unarmed people which is your level.

Sorry!
U didn't make any sense Bro! There is no brevity in going for a worthless mission which the target is to get killed. Ask yourself, why don't we see the children of the great Azik, Orji Uzor, Dr Ekweme, Gen Ike Nwachukwu, Ayim Pius, Arthur Nzerebe, Theordor Orji, Ike Ekweremadu, Jim Nwobodo, Udenwa, Nwabara, Sen Ekwenife, Dr Peter Obi, Ngozi Ikonjo, Rochas Owelle, UBA brothers, Iwayanwu, Sen. Ben Obi, Sam Egwu, Martin Elechi, ABC Nwosu and so o[b][/b] in any protest? So u can't think? If what ever country you are agitating for was viable or achievable or tenable, these men I just mentioned and their children would have been on the front banner. They know it will not work and it will never work. Please stop staying in the comfort of your shop and insight those innocent gullible brothers to go an die.

Do you have any idea what self determination means? Or is it because Lord Lugard came from Britian to West Africa to tell you your ancestors that you are 'Nigerians'?

If Lugard had not come, what would be the name of your country today?

Guy, that you are an African does not mean you must reason like a slave. Why is it that Lugard can decide you are a Nigerian but you have no power to decide who you are? Can you decide for Lord Lugard who he and his people are?

All these people you mentioned, what makes them better than you or the man that was killed? They got more money in the bank? Maybe a few more qualifications and job titles? Thats all?

Naturally, as the backward African you are, you are far more interested in what a few privileged people care about than you do about what the majority care about.

How have the Rochas, Udenwa,Nzeribe and all the people you mentioned helped to make Nigeria a better place than the Hell on earth it is?

Their kids are probably in some foreign country throwing champaign parties with your money and you are here thinking about them.

What you are saying is not viable, achievable or tenable was once a reality from 1967 to 1970. It took the combined military strenght of Nigeria, Britain and Russia 3 years to end it.


The constitution allows people to agitate, it allows people the right to protest about anything, be it Biafra or not.

So if unarmed people are being killed for using their freedom of expression which the constitution gives them, then what is happening is state sponsored murder and nothing more.

Murder is something that right thinking people condemn, wether it was done by civilians or people in uniform. Murder is murder.

xstry:
going out there knowing you'll get killed is not an honorable thing to do, it is plain stupidity. What has his death yielded? He's a father of one with a family to support. This isn't bravery. Its plain madness

You know what the real stupidity is? Condonning evil and even insulting those who stand up to evil because you are too cowardly to do so.

If this man had protested about Biafra in America, he would still be alive. If he had done the same in Ghana, he would still be alive. If he had done so in Benin Republic, he would still be alive.


It is in Nigeria he will do so and lose his life, why? Nigeria and its armed forces are not disciplined enough to respect the sanctity of the lives of unarmed people?

If this is the case, why would anyone want be part of Nigeria?

The constitution gave this man the right to freedom of expression and movement. He used that right to protest for his belief in Biafra. He got shot by those paid to protect life and uphold the constitution.

So what is the point of the constitution if the Nigerian security forces do not respect it?

It says a lot about people when the see evil and look the other way, it says far worse about them when they defend evil rather than speak against it.

This only happens in the land of barbarians

This is the kind of picture that will give Nigerians a lot of joy. The joy that their armed forces are shooting unarmed people simply because those people expressed their right of self determination (rather than the one Lord Lugard expressed for them with the creation of Nigeria)


All I know is that a people who want to be free shall one day be free. There is always a shelf life for holding people against their will


RIP Bro, at least you died believing in freedom which is an honourable thing to die for.

At least we now know the '4' letter word they write before they shoot unarmed IPOB

Buhari was roughly about 40 years old here. These days, the average major general is above 50 years old. His quick rise in the Army was because he was an accomplished coup plotter from the North. Murtala Mohammed trained him well in the art of coup plotting and he ran with it in 3 highly successful coups.


Unfortunately, the man, Buhari, never managed to achieve anything in his life praiseworthy and is about to go down in history as the man who ran the worst Military and Civilian Governments in the history of Nigeria.

He couldnt even boast of a WAEC certificate in this picture.

midolstudent:
but we are Christians naw

Y do we still support all dis juju and masquerade stuff...I get confused most times

I dont know about the juju stuff or if it even works but the Masqurade is our tradition.

If southern Nigeria can be regarded as the SW/SE/SS geopolitical zones, guess which one of them sold out the other two to the North?

uckennety:
Since d enter rivers state

And what did they claim to be before they entered Rivers state?

sarrki:
Divisive thread

Well its not like Nigeria is a united country anyway so what is there to divide?


I think the North has been a pain in the neck of the South since 1960 to date.

Over the years, they have built of a certain belief that they own Southern Nigeria. This belief being made worse by the fact the Yorubas have not only turned themselves into indespensable allies of the North, the Yorubas have never challenged the North despite all its excesses on Yoruba soil.

The North will always hold the south hostage, never allowing it to restructure or grow. It will be like that forever unless another 'Ojukwu' can rise to challenge them again for freedom.

Etche denied being Igbo? Since when?

Some people are crazy. Someone who probably never met Ojukwu in life is predicting what the man would have done if he were still alive.

Debe isi ka Ogene ndi Achi!

The great Pericoma. The man was renouned for both his music and wizardry.

The stories of what he could do with his magical powers have since assumed a life of its own.

It is indeed a great loss to Ndigbo

The problem with Nigeria is that Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa do not see each other as one. They never have and never will.

That Lugard brought them together does not necessarily mean they are meant to be together

Is it out of such disunity that anyone is hoping Nigeria will achieve great things? Personally, I dont think so but thats just my opinion

Im hoping that Buhari will survive. I need him to torture Nigeria for 8 good years so that everyone will finally understand that 'one Nigeria' does not work

NgeneUkwenu:
Biafra or Death~ Nnamdi Kanu To His Followers!

So this is no news!

Next!

Well its not like there is "Nigeria or Life" anyway

The so called "Nigerians" who believe it is the duty of their Army and Police to shoot unarmed people will soon come here to blame the man for 'throwing his life away'

At least the Biafran is dying for what he believes in


If you call any of these Nigerians to come and die for Nigeria, nobody will show up.

sarrki:
Nigeria is not negotiable

Thats what they said about Czechoslovakia, USSR and Yugoslavia.

I remember that Rochas Okorocha said the samething, that Dim Ojukwu would have joined APC had he been alive.


Why would they think this? Why would Ojukwu leave a party he helped nuture and was party leader to join APC?


Im suspicious of these people who claim to know what Ojukwu would have done had he been alive.


The best people to predict what Ojukwu would have done are those who were close to him. But when people who hardly knew Ojukwu start claiming to know what the man would have done.................

WorldRichest:
Oh!, you forgot, one mass murderer (Obasanjo) saluting another mass murderer (Muritala Muhammed) and picture posted today while in the regime of yet another mass murderer (Buhari) and mass murderers (Yorubas) are praising the mass murderers aforementioned.

Go and tell your fathers that planted hatred in you that just as they died of hypertension, you too are dying gradually of hatred of hypertension. ISIEWU

Over 300 officers of the old Eastern Region, wiped out by men led by Murtala

Over 700 civilians, wiped out in Asaba by Murtala Mohammed and his men.



Lt Isola Willians also stated that during the war, Murtala routinely ordered the summary executions of prisoners of war. This is a war crime and God knows how many people Murtala killed this way.


So in the world you live in, how many people does a man have to kill before yoy call him out? 1? 2? Or maybe thousands like Murtala?

cyprex:
Hatred even unto death?
waow! I don't know your tribe or the religion you practice but what I am sure of is that you are a coward, online faceless warrior and instigator.

Tufiakwa gi!!!

Take it from me, the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain.

Continue to Rest In Peace worthy General

I dont blame you. It because you dont know how many people Murtala Mohammed killed that you can say this trash. Labours of our heroes past? Which heroe?

Go and do your study well on Murtala, if you do, you will find out he was the most accomplished killer to become Nigerian head of state

Saluting a mass murderer. Obasunjo never had his priorities right.

Most people that know nothing about music production would be the first to diss this studio,
But before you wallow in ignorance, take your time out to check out those speakers otherwise known as studio monitors, they deliver high quality sounds without distortions.

Also check out that Soundcard what better way to boost your sounds, it deliver high quality sounds straight from the computer to the studio monitors.

And the midi keyboard and P.C .

If I had such a studio I would create dope beats every week.

This is more of a beat making studio, than a recording studio, she creates her beats here and then take it to the studio for recording and mixing and mastering and engineering.


And Take Note, Simi is a Record Producer, she prefer he own sounds.

You're right. People who dont know much about making music will diss the home studio but the same people may not know that their favourite songs came out of a similar set up. There are producers who carry their 'miniature studio' in their traveling bag and can literally record,mix and even master songs anywhere, even inside a bus.

Her set up isnt bad, her sound cards looks ok. I would have prefared if the monitors were the same make because of possible distortions. I would have also liked to see her recording mic and possibly a PC added to the Macbook but its all no biggy. If she is running on logic pro with the necessary third party softwares, its cool.

Oluwakayode Olumide Ogundamisi?

So a Yoruba man is now IPOB spokesman?

Fake news peddlers

I can only imagine that Authur Eze was laughing hysterically at something so he bent over when the picture was being taken

klinsbar:
the only tribe that is keeping Nigeria together is the "Yoruba". 1993 to 1998 when Yoruba tribe are ready to breakout.the other tribe from the country were all jittery.they came together and compensated the Yoruba with president...our cowardness is our strength, we fight to win.

Which one is 'ready to break out'? There are certain things that are beyond the reach of the Yoruba nation and one of them is secession. It takes guts and nerves of steel to break out of Nigeria like Ojukwu and Igbos once did and thats not the stuff Yorubas are made of.

How come no one has seen any picture of Benjamin Onwuka since he was allegedly released?

Who gives a $hitt about your Nigerian Presidency? Im talking about my freedom and independence as an Igbo man, someone is talking about Igbo presidency.

That is like me talking about the Rolls Royce I want and someone is telling me to consider Keke Napep

Well, there is no harm in dreaming. I have more chances of marrying Hillary Clinton than APC capturing Anambra.

slurryeye:
First of all, the military trial of Banjo and Ifeajuna was not in anyway a fair hearing, as obtained from the excerpt below
"Banjo was alleged to have staged a coup plot against Biafran President Odumegwu Ojukwu.and was executed as a result. It took a second military tribunal judge to sentence Victor Banjo, because Odumegwu Ojukwu's first military judge stated that there were not enough evidence to convict Victor Banjo of coup charges"
How could Ojukwu accused Banjo of plotting coup against him when he was in far away middle east, and doesn't have ground troop in Enugu to stage the alleged coup.
That being said, you people keep saying Murtala committed war crime without evidence to back it up aside hearsay. Could it have been possible for Murtala to have killed some civilians? Yes I agree, but the fact remains that there is little to differentiate Biafran soldiers from ordinary civilians then, as any able bodied male was a potential soldier in the south east. Mind you, record shows that Ojukwu even used child soldiers during the war. Do not get me wrong, I'm not trying to justify whatever Murtala did if at all he killed civilians, all what I'm saying is, do not demonise him while exonerating others from likely atrocities or potential to do so. Neither Ojukwu nor Gowon nor anyone that fought for them has their hands clean. As a matter of fact, the war was an unnecessary and stupid war to start with

First you said that Ojukwu extrer-judicially killed Banjo and Ifeajuna, now you admit they faced a tribunal. Banjo was arrested in Enugu shortly after hosting a meeting with his co-conspirators. For details of how Banjo and Ifeajuna planned to remove Ojukwu, read Ben Odogwus 'Crisis and conflicts inside Biafra'. Ben Odogwu was one of those recruited by Banjo for the coup but he ran to Ojukwu instead. Ojukwu then asked him to play along and he was given a briefcase with a secret recorder in it in which he used to gather evidence against Banjo and Ifeajuna.


As for Murtala, this thread is about him and not about Ojukwu or Gowon. Ojukwu and Gowon have their own threads where anyone can discuss their individual positives and negatives.

The basic thing here is that troops under Murtala gunned down over 700 civilians, there many books and eyewitness testimonies about it.

Murtala is directly culpable for the actions of troops umder his command
