Forqet about Biafra and focus on the success of your private life

If everyone focuses on the success of their private life then what is the point of Nigeria? You believe in Nigeria, they believe in Biafra. What makes your belief greater than their own? Or is it only you that is entitled to believe in something?

I don't see the Children of elites protestinq.It is the poor that is weak and vulnerable. They have been brainwashed that the actualization of Biafra will brinq success for them.

Children of Hate.

#Spits on Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu's qrave.

It has always been about the common man and not about a few well to do people. Without the common man, there is no elite but without the elite, the common man will be. As for brainwashing people, it is not possible to brainwash a person into beliving in their right to self determination, unless the person is a self confessed 'zombie'

If this is true then it is truly shocking. But what do you expect in country like Nigeria were the rights of people are trampled upon at will by the Government, even rights enshrined in the constitution. How can people be arrested and charged to court for protesting? A right given to them by the constitution. How can people be persecuted for their political and religious beliefs in a country that claims to be civilised?

Nigeria gbakwa oku!

Atiku is just as bad as the rest of them but there is one thing that sets him apart. He is one of the few Northern leaders who has said that he supports true federalism, resource control, fiscal responsibility and maybe regional autonomy.

Should Nigeria still be together in 2019, and the choice is between Buhari and Atiku, it makes more sense for Southern Nigerians to vote Atiku than continue with the clueless Buhari and his abysmal performance in office provided Atiku can promise to bring back regionalism/federalism.

However, I hope above all things that me and my fellow Igbos have become free before then.

Doesnt matter who or what party is in power in 2019, as long as Nigeria keeps running this unitary system that benefits only the North, we are headed nowhere.

thesicilian:
No imagination whatsoever. They can't even think of an independent name, and yet want to be independent.

But Lord Lugard didnt even look past the River Niger when he was choosing a name for you.

QuotaSystem:
This release was simply released and signed by the Independent People of Delusion (IPOD) masquerading under fictitious civil rights groups.

Remarkably, it is the same people you want to do 'one Nigeria' with

josephni12:
if ipob is serious I think they should boycott next elections

I dont think it matters either way since what they are looking for is a referendum.

Generally, I think that the SS/SE area is most likely to boycott the next presidential elections anyway.

CliffordOrji:
Are you aware that Texas and California still seek to break away from the United States of Merica? Do you mean to tell us now that Donald Trump will grant both states their indepence since he also supports self determination

Yes Im aware that there are some agitation in Texas and California to break away, even Hawaii is agitating.

Donald Trump has no powers to grant them independence. The good tbing here is that things will now be easier for those states than if they had a president who does not recognise the right to self determination.

You can imagine how happy IPOB would have been if Buhari said he recognises the right self determinstion for everyone.

Its good to have an American president who supports self determination. Such a president is not likely to support "unity by force" as practiced in some parts of the world including Nigeria.

As an Igbo man, Im happy that Buhari is president. Im going to enjoy watching Buhari destroy Nigeria so that hopefully, I and my people will be free of this sinking ship created by Lord Lugard.

AmadiAba:
"Self-determination is the Sacred Right of all free People" - Trump. So Biafrans are not free people abi? I no get your time this morning

How are they free when they cant even pray in a High School field without being shot at?

MIKOLOWISKA:
f compatibility. Let each tribe arrange it's zone and stop using amalgamation add excuse for unseriousness

You cant say that. It is amalgamation that got us all where we are. It is amalgamation that created the framework we work on. It is also amalgamation that stole the sovereignty of the people.

Compatibility is very important because if you bring gun powder and fire together, the result is not likely to be a good one.

wirinet:
I am surprised someone as brilliant and exposed as you is making the statement I bolded. Well you might be right that any group in Nigeria or any other country has the right to seek self determination, but it is also the right of Nigeria to refuse, such requests. Just like Idi-amin used to say, freedom of speech is guaranteed, but what he cannot guarantee is freedom after speech.
A group can only exercise its freedom to self determination if it has the military might to gain and protect that right to self determination or if it has a super power that is ready to help sustain and protect that right to self determination, otherwise, you will just sacrifice your people for nothing. Western Sahara has been fighting for independence from Morocco for decades, Tibet has been under Chinese occupation for almost a century, their spiritual leader has been in exile for decades, the Basque has been fighting for independence from Spain for centuries. The kurds are scattered within three countries and they are fighting Turkey, Iraq and Syria for self determination. I can sight numerous other examples. The ones that had been successful ie, Israel, South Sudan, Taiwan, had the backing of US and by extension UN, if US withdraw support for Taiwan, the Chinese would overrun Taipei within days.

Dont talk like an ignoramus. The ethnic groups were existing before the creation of Nigeria. Suddenly, just because a British thief called Lugard came to West Africa to look for money, and in the process, forced all the different ethnic groups together at gun point. This in no way means that the ethnic groups have lost their sovereignty. The only thing it means is that Nigeria is an illegal colonial creation.that is holding people against their will.

This your talk that a group can only exercise self determination if the have the military strenght to do so is the reasoning of a backward African. How is it that in this day and age, one group will say they want to go their way, another will say they must be together? Truly shocking.

For your information, more than 10 countries left the USSR, nobody heard a gunshot

In 1992, Czechoslovakia split into Czech Republic and Republic of Slovakia, nobody heard any gunshot.

Scotland almost left the UK in 2014 via referendum, they are presently planning another referendum, there is no noise.

These are advanced people who see no point in killing each other to be together.

PresidentElect1:
Anyone embarking on a journey without a destination in mind is going to arrive at a destination he has no plans for.

Could you please paint a picture of the Nigeria you want to identify with-- regardless of what the past and present nation so called has been to you?

Kindly give practical clues, for example what you will experience differently from what you experience today at home, at work, in your industry or any area you are personally having challenges or you feel strongly about with the current Nigerian nation.

cc: Lalasticlacla

Before asking this question, you should have asked your self if the various ethnic groups that populate are compatible. Without compatibility, any endevour 2 or more people embark on is already a faliure.

blues2022:
I have never seen a people so devil in their mind and warp in their logic..... Its pathetic.... An unfortunate war that claimed the lives millions is now something to boast and chest-beat about. Hmn, and you want me to shear same country with such evil vermin..........

The funniest thing is that if Igbos say they want their independence as the Relublic of Biafra, the same people will start foaming at the mouth.

biaframustcome:
I have respect for the erudite and very intelligent leader of IPOB Nnamdi Kanu, but for the betterment of the emerging new republic, I will contest the first election against him.
My own party will lay out an ambitious program of development of all sphere of life. I believe we can create immense wealth never seen before.
We shall punch way above our weight in the committee of nations.

You wont have to contest against him. Kanu has said to my hearing on his Radio station that he is only interested in making Biafra a reality, he has no intention of seeking any political position inside it.

This is just an APC meeting. The brought 10 Yorubas who live in Imo and the are honouring Rochas Brother in-law, the same guy Rochas has programmed to take over Imo state Government House in 2019.

1stCitizen:
Ghadafi was leaving Sirte and not Libya. History books will remember Ghadafi as a true African warrior while the Nnewi coward will be remembered for being a sissy.

You said Ghaddafi died like a chicken. Ojukwu ran away like a chicken thus lived the rest of his life like one. Death will come to all. It's what we are remembered for that matters.

Ghadafi- Boss
Ojukwu- coward

History my a$$. Ghadafi that was put on display inside a cold room and people were lining up to video snap pictures of his naked dead body with their phones? How will he be remembered? Nobody even knows where Ghadafi is buried. Contrast that to Ojukwu who was given one of the greatest burials ever witnessed in Africa.

Ghadafi was a fool. Libya was going to change wether he died or not so why stay back to die when it will change nothing?

Same with Ojukwu, he fought hard for 3 years, no point staying back to die over a war he had lost. He did the right thing and left and by doing so, he denied Nigeria the perfect victory.

ElsonMorali:
That's a good one. Unfortunately he didn't fight for you. He fought for his own ambition to become president of Nigeria.

That was why he was headed to Lagos otherwise he would have stayed back and defended his territory.

That was why he starved the people he was SUPPOSEDLY fighting for and cornering all the foodstuff for his own family and other highly placed biafrans.

That was why instead of dying with his people out of compassion he chose to flee when the heat of battle worsened and left an American to die for his people.

That's shameful, don't you think?

Ojukwu fighting for president of Nigeria? The same Ojukwu that was declaring his people independent? What did you smoke?

Why wont he head to Lagos? The Nigerian Army was heading to Enugu, Capital of Biafra so why wont Ojukwu head for Lagos, Capital of Nigeria?

Nigeria used starvation as a weapon of war, today, it is a war crime to do that.

Ojukwu should show compassion and diw with his people? Why? Is that what Igbos sent him to do? He was sent to fight for freedom and he did that for 3 years, he didnt succeed, he left. Theres no shame in one fighting for freedom and Ojukwu staying back to die would not have added any value to anything.

The real shame is the rest of you who surrendered to the North without a fight. While Ojukwu was fighting to liberate his people, you guys were a$$licking the North to avoid war.

ElsonMorali:
If we remember Bruce Mayrocj for sacrificing himself for millions of Igbo what are we going to remember Ojukwu for? For sacrificing millions of Igbo for his ambition?

We remember Ojukwu for fighting for the freedom of his people.

We remember Ojukwu who decided to fight for the dignity of his people at a time everybody else decided to be Hausa/Fulani a$$lickers

1stCitizen:
Ghadafi stood up against the West and fought for freedom from Western domination. He fought to the death even refusing to be evacuated by Russia.

The coward from Nnewi ran away.

Do you see anyone praising Ghadafi for staying back to die? He was captured, beaten up and slaughtered like a Chicken.

And incase you dont know Ghadafi was making his escape when he was caught. Ghadafi left it too late. Ojukwu was smart enough to make a timely escape and later returned to a heroes welcome amongst his people.

Nobody is ever remembered or praised for staying back to be slaughtered like a Chicken, that is stupidity not bravery.

Ojukwu outsmarted everyone and remains a great man.

Oh by the way, Ojukwu fought for 3 years before he left. If Ojukwu who fought for 3 years is a coward, what do I call you people who surrendered to Northern domination without a fight?

I have no respect for the Nigerian Army. They are a very unprofessional body who are only good at shooting unarmed people.

They have never defeated anyone without at least 3 countries coming to their rescue.

Nigerian armed forces kill the Igbo
with glee and nothing happens

So why would you want to be part of something that keeps wasting our people?

Do you know how many Igbos have been killed in the name of 'one Nigeria' since independence to date?

Over 3 million. We Igbos have lost millions of souls simply because Lord Lugard made us part of Nigeria. How can we then say we are going to embrace the same thing that has killed us on an industrial scale? Only a crazy person does that.

Operation Python dance is just another form of intimidation, to remind Igbos that they are in a forced marriage which they cant get out of.

It shall be well with our people for as we Igbos say "Onye ji mmadu ji onwe ya"

Ojukwu was one of the greatest men I ever had the honour to meet in my life. He fought for freedom and self determination. He denied himself a lot despite being born into one of the richest families in Nigeria. He joined the Nigerian Army despite having a first class education at Oxford.

He was indeed great.

SIRmanjar:
If biafra iz achieved tday all flat head ad the rest of Nigeria will nid visa to enter lagoz,I jst wish I work in our oduduwa embassy by den,make I bounce dem flat head,almajariz ad our oyel pipu make dem remain 4 dem promise land flowing with milk ad honey.

For some reason, Yorubas seem to think that Lagos is the only place on earth. I dont think they realise that if Igbos become an independent nation, they can sign trade deals with over 200 sovereign nations in the world.

1stCitizen:
This statement says it all.

"He should have done a Hitler".---- Gowon

Gowon is crazy to have said that, it was Gowon that started the war.

Ojukwu should not have done a Hitler because Ojukwu stood for the opposite of Hitler

Hitler was fighting to subjugate people, Ojukwu was fighting to free his people from subjugation.

This is a good lesson for the younger generation of Nigerians who keep shouting ignorantly that Ojukwu started the war. Ojukwu did over and beyond what he was supposed to do so that their would be peace. But even the pope has a limit on the number of slaps he will take on.the cheek before he slaps back in return

1stCitizen:
Yes we should recognise such people and not the coward that ran away to Ivory Coast and abandoned his starving people

At least that Coward stood and fought for 3 years before running away. Everybody else gave up and turned into Northern a$$lickers even before the fight started which is even worse.

I would rather be Ojukwu who fought for 3 years and ran away when the centre could no longer hold than be Awolowo, Colonel Adebayor, Colonel Ejoor, Brigadier Ogundipe and the rest of them who surrendered to the North like Chickens because they had no fight in them at all.

treebuds:
It is too disappointing that the millions die for just nothing.

Thats what happens when people insist on "unity by force".

chumaZ:
Children of awolowo(aka otapiapia drinker) the ofonja waste side will soon come here and be shouting FFK upandan

Dont mind them. It only remains for FFK to tell them he slept with Mary Slessor and they will believe that too.

Bruce Mayrock needs more recognition from lovers of freedom for his selfless act of heroism.

Nigeria is the artificial and illegal creation of the white man!
