When you decide to live your life without the education Lugard brought the rest of us might then consider doing away with the confederation "Nigeria" lugard established.

It is just so baffling why so many ipob youths argue without reasoning at least if you argue to the left you should be able to decipher someone against your motion with go to the right but your insistence on being right when your argument glaringly come short or flawed is baffiing and am left to wonder why so many of you do write like graduate, reason like one too but are always one dimensional, most sentimental to the negative side of every argument ?

Is the brain of most you programmed to play the devils advocate ? Can the brain of most of you not counterbalance previously flawed argument that science n time exposed it's shortcoming and deduce your own notions etc ? Just wondering or how do you explain justifying doing away with Nigeria brought by Lugard "British" without deeming it fit to demand doing away with education / Christianity also brought by the same British ?

Because unlike "Nigeria", I still have my power of choice with education and Christianity. You think anyone forced me to be educated? No. Do You think anyone forced or is forcing me to be a Christian? Of course not. Now let me ask you this, do you think anyone is forcing me to be a Nigerian against my will? There lies your answer.

Last night, on BBC World Service news, I learned that Nigeria is setting up huge camps in the NE, furnished with the latest modern conveniences, which the average poor Nigerian can only dream of, for Bokoharam terrorist willing to lay down their bombs and confess their sins. Given that these terrorists have slaughtered thousands and devastated the North of Nigeria and yet are being promised forgiveness why isn't Kanu - just one man who has killed no one directly - not being offered salvation ?

Amnesty is for people who have done something wrong. Since Kanu has not done anything wrong, amnesty would be an insult

Can't biafra stay on her own, ni? Abi, they are siamese twins with the (oil-rich) minority groups in the niger delta?

Even the siamese twins (though joined by nature) went on to live separate and fulfilling lives but you innately greedy and covetous biafrans can't mention your utopia without including the minority groups, who you obviously hope to dominate.

It has never been just about Igbos, it's always been about Igbos and they minorties who agree with us, some of which we have interacted with for hundreds if not thousands of years. Unlike Nigeria, nothing is "by force" here.

We are not the only country formed by the british. Others have moved on and prospering. The british colonized Canada, USA and Australia. Today these countries are envy of the world. The problem we have here is leadership. Our leaders are united in corruption while we frustrated commoners hates each other for no reason. Stella odua stole massively when she was a minister. Rochas and other igbo leaders are not clean. Even if you get the biafra, Will Jesus christ be your president? Will you not be ruled by these so called corrupt elites who see no wrong in one Nigeria as far as they keep feeding fat while u go to bed hungry? Ooh you expect Kanu and Uchemefor to become president and vice president of biafra consecutively? They will turn ibo land to paradise bah? Guy stop fooling yourself. Biafra is just a change of name. the corrupt elites remains the same scattered in all tribes

You even answered your own question in this write up. You said the problem of Nigeria is leadership? It is not leadership. Not even if you make the Pope president of Nigeria, he will not be able to do anything. Do you know why? Because Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba have their own brand of thinking. These three groups do not like each other, they are suspicious of each other and each have their own mode of operation. So how do you think you will get any meaningful progress in such a situation? The reason why an Igbo politician can steal in Nigeria but cannot do the same in Igboland is because that politician can bribe a Hausa man or Yoruba or some other ethnic group to protect him or her. But if he or she does it in an Igbo run country, their is no hiding place. Nigeria is a country of sectional interests and no one really believes in it. It is simply unworkable because we are too different. That's why we should break it up and directly administer our selves. As rich as Britain is, despite the fact that they are the ones who created Nigeria, they were still prepared to break up when they offered Scotland a referendum in 2014. They didn't go and start shouting "one Britain" all over the place and threaten Sclotland with war and treason. Start reasoning, there is no future in Nigeria. The future is economic and political co-operation between Igbos and the smaller ethnic groups in the Niger-Delta.If there was was future in Nigeria, you would have seen a little of it since 1914 that Lugard created it.

Fellow Nigerians, we are all aware of the dangerous group formed by the mentally deranged sadist Nnamdi Kanu called IPOB. IpoB is a combination of jobless and failed youths whose life has become miserable due to their carelessness in life and ignorant ones who are swayed by Kanu's lies and propaganda. We all remember the leader of boko haram Yusuf started like kanu by preaching hate against the Nigerian state and its people. Today, boko haram has metamorphosed into one of the dealiest terror groups in the world. Like Yusuf, Nnamdi kanu told his jobless and lazy followers wrong tales about the Nigerian history. He often times twisted the truth to promote his hidden hate for president Buhari caused by GEJ's electoral defeat because he is a PDP loyalist in disguise. Kanu spread massive propaganda through his radio and it earned him cult followership amongst the Jobless and ignorant youths and elders of the South east. He told his followers to pick up arms and kill any yoruba and hausa fulani found in igbo land. He was captured on video soliciting for weapons to fight the Nigerian state with a legitimate government. The IPOB terror group.he formed began series of protest after he was captured and jailed like a comon thief. Now it is clear to the world that majority of sane and well to do Igbos dont want Biafra. All they want is a united Nigeria where they can prosper and pursue their dreams. Igbos are patriots and have remained so since the unfortunate incidence of the late 60's caused by the greed of Ojukwu who was eventually buried a Nigerian and even contested to rule Nigeria after causing untimely death of many because he wanted to become biafran president. The security agents of Nigeria have the responsibility of protecting the territorial integrity of the country and maintaining law and order. Since the IPOB's modus operandi is similar to Boko haram who are ready to destroy and kill nigerians because they want an islamic state, would it be wrong if the Nigerian forces shoot such people on sight? Are they not considered enemies of the state already? IPOB is a terrorist organization led by Kanu against Nigeria and they must be treated like terrorists.

May God punish Kanu for brainwashing those innocent youths to their untimely death

Kanu will never leave Kuje prison till he his 80 and useless to himself.

May God bless Lord Luggard for merging us cos of the strenght in our diversity.

May God bless Nigeria and all Nigerians

One Nigeria we shall remain.

Say no to Biafra

I hope you know that your ancestors survived long before Lugard came to make you a "Nigerian"? Now it is you in this 21st century who cannot survive without "one Nigeria". Your ancestors must be laughing in their graves. Why do you need the Hausa/Igbo/Yoruba together? 200 years ago, these people didn't even know each other. Now, they can't live without each other? Because Lord Lugard came to west Africa to say so? This is a very simple matter. Since you are a "Nigerian" because a white woman gave you this name, my cousins wife is a white woman too, contact me, my Cousins wife is free to give a better name than the one Lord Lugards wife gave you. ****

No Yoruba Monarch has any right to interfere with how us Igbos conduct our cultural affairs. It seems that Yorubas have still not learnt about we Igbos, even after 102 years Lord Lugard brought us together. We Igbos don't like imposed authorithy and we usually fight it. The principle of one Nigeria is that I should feel free as an Igbo man to practice my culture anywhere in Nigeria, be it Oyo or Ibadan as long as it is within the ambit of the law. And if Yorubas don't like it, then tough luck! That's not my problem. No Igbo socio-cultural group is bound by any law to listen to any Oba or Baale.

ziccoit:
There is no evidence that a different party and person at the helm of affair would have done better with today's prevailing world economy condition. It could even be worse if someone else had been on the seat today. So, nothing has changed. PMB is working under a very harsh environment with huge responsibility and little resources. We didn't save for the raining days. Now we are reaping the fruits of our extravagant lifestyle and corruptions.

What you just said is nonsense. A good leader carries people along and leads by example. If things are bad with the Economy, a leader must be able to relate with the people and tell them what he intends to do to alleviate the issue. Nobody is expecting a miracle, what we expect is a leader who is in touch with the people so that the people will know that they have not been forgotten and that something is being done. Instead, what you have is a president who has been to almost 30 countries in less than a year, a president who does not even know his own budget, a president who has not been able to tell any Nigerian in concise terms what his economic policy is, a president who's abysmal human rights records includes shooting of unarmed Biafrans protesters,killing over 700 Shia Muslims and bombing of Niger Delta creeks. You have a president who doesn't even know what the rule of law is when he questioned why Dasuki and Kanu should be given bail, a president who has virtually northernised Government. This was a man who globally disgraced himself by going on Aljazeera to admit he doesn't know his own budget and refused to view footage of his own security forces shooting unarmed IPOB protesters, thereby negating his sworn oath to protect all Nigerians against internal and external aggression.

Buhari is a fraud, a jester and a downright useless leader. For those who still believe in this man, start learning how to be a good manager of disappointment.

Suicide is a free snd easy option.. Afterall , people have died Because of him.

Nobody died for Kanu, instead, your federal Government commited extrer-judicial murder by shooting unarmed people.

Kanu is a true freedom fighter and a prisoner of conscience. I admire the man same as I admire Ojukwu. Both men wanted the freedom of their people from the British invention called Nigeria and that is commendable. I'm happy that Amnesty international has recognised Kanu and are taking note of what is happening in Nigeria.

Aluta Continua!

What angers me is the inability of these Governors to take decisive steps against the Fulani menace. The Fulani have now grown accustomed to doing anything they like and getting away with it.

7 Igbo Governors, not one of them can do anything

fmike:
It is undoubtedly clear that culture has been perceived as the different ways groups of people live their life. In the same manner, religion has been noted to be the belief in the existence of a Supreme Being or even gods andall the activities connected to worship of them. Notably, the right to religion and worship is a prerogative of every person. see more.....

There is no unity in Nigeria, there has never been. That's why we have been killing and fighting each other since the British, who brought us all together, left in 1960 to date.

ozoebuka1:
when 5% say that they are the smartest in nigeria, the 95% will be arguing.... what 5% saw before election, 95% are just seeing after election... how pathetic!!!

They chased out GEJ and brought Buhari. That was like chasing out a Cat to bring in a Tiger. We were shouting that the history and antics of Buhari is nothing to write home about but they kept on shouting "change"

3 more years of "change" still awaits them

Capital247:
"Suddenly, they dislike Obama for shaking and always giving Buhari an audience. They say a Fulani man shouldn't be ruling them. They care less about his capacity and competence. All they see is a Fulani and a northerner. They hate the war on corruption. They say it's one sided, witch- hunting, persecuting and selective. Yet they want Nigeria to be better They hate the Nigerian Army. They now love Boko Haram and don't want insurgency to end. Because victory over Boko Haram is shame on their man and a credit to Buhari! They now see Saraki as their hero regardless of his corrupt past and present, as long as he is doing their bidding and disregarding his party's directives. They love his being an APC by day and a PDP by night. To them, rebellion is a good thing. They now love Wike, Fayose, FFK, Okupe, Metuh, Diezani, Iweala, and co. to always talk and defend the indefensible. Even when they know they were part of the group that almost destroyed the country. They blame Buhari for padding. They asked Buhari to sign Budget Summary. Even when they know that's not the ideal thing to do. Yet they will be the first to blame him if budget implementation fails. They complain about fuel scarcity yet they are the ones causing the scarcity. They blame Tinubu for scolding Kachikwu. They were expecting Kachikwu to insult Jagaban...How disappointed they were! They called Jonathan a saint. Jonathan and co. are refunding their loots. They say we should let Jonathan be. Even when they know he oversaw the worst mismanagement of the Nigerian economy. And in all of these, they chorused, "is this the change we voted for?" Even when they know they never voted for change in the first place. That is how mischievous an average wailer is......They're career sadists, enemy of decency, and haters of progress!!!! One moment they say they are Biafrans, the next moment, they say they are British!!! So you knew you're British and you came to disturb the peace of another country. Hypocrite! One moment they say FFK hate them. Later, they say FFK is their man. They will say Kachikwu is not theirs but call for Kachikwu's resignation, they will say you hate them. To them, Dasuki is from Aba, Okorocha is from Kano. Their complaint is that they hate Nigeria and want her dissolved. Ask them for solution they will tell you, 'Concede power to us, let's lead Nigeria.' So Science and Technology is not good, Labour Ministry is bad and there's nothing in Foreign Affairs. Yet they didn't complain when Jonathan gave them Labour....yet no wahala. They will wonder why Yorubas are not supporting Saraki but worry less about why they hate Amaechi so much! Hatred is a vehicle that can only take its passenger to a destructive destination! You can't sow hate and reap love! It is a natural law. There's nobody that cannot rule Nigeria, if Jonathan can, if Gowon can, anybody can but no one can do it alone or use a vehicle of hate to get there!

poseidon12:
We don't need to allow genocide to happen. Nigerians should take up arms against the Fulani herdsmen and the rogue soldiers backing them up.
We did it in 1966/67. The Fulani herdsmen and their Nigerian soldier backers are not invincible. SE, SW, and SS need to be united in resisting the herdsmen and the rogue soldiers.

Forget the SW, they are fully behind their Almajiri brothers up north in their senseless ways. The SE/SS are on their own when it comes to this matter

Nasman:
Well, I pray that he rot in custody. Pls don't release him. We have got to stop Iranian influence in this country. The Muslims in this country are overwhelming Sunni. And off course Saudi Arabia are on our side. We don't need Iran, Iraq, Lebanon to be on our side. Nobody can change this simple fact that Nigeria is a country built on Alhul Sunna. We will continue to protect our country from evil Shia ideology and it culture

I'm an Igbo Christian. I don't know what Sunni or Shia means nor do I know anything about the Islamic religion. I don't give a ratsa$$ if a person worships a Mango tree as their religion. What I care about is that the fundamental rights of nobody is infringed on. How can a civilised country be killing its own people? Are the Army and Police paid to shoot unarmed people? How can a person be be attacked,shot, arrested and detained for 3 months with no charge? And people say we are in a democracy? With barely a year in office, Buharis human rights record is getting to be as bad as when he was a Military dictator. Shia killings, IPOB shootings, Niger-Deltas murders. All done by the uniformed armed forces. Later someone will come to tell me to believe in 'one Nigeria'.
Tufia! O buru ogwu, o ma ere

MarysMeal:
I thought you guys says you will bring the zoo down. That you have weapons pill up?

The zoo is coming down, it is falling already. It will come down without any shot being fired. And when it comes down, nobody will need tell all those cattle heardsmen to disappear back to the North.

As an Igbo guy, I don't give a ratsa$$ about the average Northerner. We Igbos have taken our own share of unnecessary brutality. However, to slaughter over 700 Shi'iates just so that the chief of Army staff can have right of way is just unbelievable. If Nigeria had been a civilised country, Burutai would have tendered his resignation that very day and subjected himself and everyone involved in that fiasco to a thorough investigation

Tell your police force to go and rescue him, or don't you know that the terrorist holding him are carrying guns? You want us to go and rescue him with sticks?

Thats an igbo man ryt there, standing for wat he believe in, unlike Yoruba cowards shouting sai BAba while their slave wives and daughters are raped my the fulanis

ogmaskman:
I am set for the debate now.

I will start by introducing myself.
I am delta by tribe. I grew up in warri.
I am married to an igbo woman from ebonyi state.
My business partner is from enugu state and my best friend is from Abia state. He is from the ngwa region (he likes being addressed as such)

Just to drop a hint of who I am so u can appreciate my point of view.

My point is ipob does not represent the entire igbo nation. They lack organisation and cohesion. Many of them are oblivious of the reason for the struggle.

You are Delta by tribe? There are over 300 hundred tribes in Nigeria and not one of them is known as 'Delta'. An English cannot be a name of a tribe in Africa.

Some Lawyers are more experienced than others. There are some Lawyers that don't progress more than trying cases in the customary courts not talk of Margistrate or high courts.

A position he attained by being a successful coup plotter

FemiFimile:
I cannot help but wonder wat will happen, if this child was a muslim girl from Kano? Is justice only for the Fulani? morning lalasticlala, open show today, food have come. turn up!

That is true. Can you imargine what would have happened if an Igbo Christian family had abducted a young Hausa-Fulani girl and taken her to Enugu to enroll her in a Mission School? They would have brought down the roof! Nigeria practices a two tier justice system. If you are Fulani, you can carry AK 47 openly, use it when you like, destroy any farmland you like, rape women and kill anyone and go Scott free. But if you are Igbo and you do any of these things, you are tagged a wailer, a Biafra secessionist, a terrorist and charged with treason under the full weight of the law. Ok no worries.

One day one day, Monkey go go Market, we no go hear of am and the market again

Hello Seun and Mynd, if i can not write God bless Biafra without being Banned for promoting Biafra then this moniker should be on ban by now for defaming Nnamdi Kanu and generally Biafra. Why say No to Biafra and allow threads created by Anti Biafra to thrive This is my submission

That's the hypocrisy of the whole thing. One person says they believe in Nigeria, another says they believe in Biafra. People are entitled to their beliefs. But when one person is ill treated for having an opinion then something is wrong. wether Biafra or Nigeria, I will always stand by the right of anyone to choose their own path.

kettykin:
This is very very bad , I don't know at what point igbos want this to reach before they think of self defense

How can you think of self defence against people carrying AK 47's? The Awgwu people thought of self defence, it landed 76 of them in jail. The menace of these Fulani people has reached frightening proportions since their brother came to power.

Rossikk:
Why hasn't Al Jazeera interviewed the Saudi king who chops off peoples' hands for stealing bread, and bans women from driving? Or the Iraqi ruler whose country has almost zero electricity, with widespread terrorism and corruption? Or Assad, whose country is now a hell on earth with 500,000 slaughtered and millions fleeing the country? Or the ruler of Yemen, another hellhole of violence and terrorism. Or the Libyan ruler whose country is now a virtual home for ISIS? Is Buhari's children's school fees more important than those issues? Dummy!

Because none of these countries are a democracy in any real sense. Buhari as leader of one of the most populous countries in the world must subject him self not only to national scrutiny but also international scrutiny as well. Aljazeera is not NTA and they don't 'a$$lick' anyone just of high office. Buhari came on a world stage like Aljazeera and messed himself up as an incompetent leader who doesn't even know his own budget and an uncaring man who would not view video footage of his security forced committing murder against IPOB, thereby showing that cares nothing about the rule of law.

AyakaDunukofia:
They 'have joined' already. Their leader is already broadcasting from Radio Biafra since two weeks. He was on the air last night. It is a new dawn. Take it or leave it.

They were part of Eastern Nigeria under the National citizens of Nigeria and Cameroon. There capital city was Enugu until 1961 when they sought referendum and voted to join De la Republique du Cameroun. And only to be treated like animals. Their region left undeveloped since 1961.

Similar looks, culture, food with the good people of Eastern region from where they left. This is a new generation. It's a new dawn.

This is all true. A lot of Nigerians don't know that there was once a referendum in Nigeria in the 60's where the British Cameroons voted wether to be part of Nigeria or not. Northern British Cameroons voted to be part of Nigeria and is present day Adamawa and parts of Taraba while British southern Cameroons voted to join Republic of Cameroon. Many Nigerians don't know their history

Elmuaz:
You will continue to wail until 2023 Insha Allah

Your president is destroying the country and you are more concerned about who is wailing? Guy, I'm an Igbo man, I don't depend on Government for survival unlike you northerners. So if Buhari messes up, it will affect you far more than me. Wailing indeed

Adminisher:
You want your President to watch the video of his security forces shooting people on international TV?. What exactly do you think leadership is, being jerked around by the media and staring like a fool?. How about playing a video of US troops pissing on bodies to Obama?.

What do you think Buhari would have done if the journalist had told him that the video was about security forces killing his people in Daura? You think he would have rejected seeing the video? Of course not! But the video was about Igbos being killed in cold blood for peacefully agitating for Biafra. Naturally, Buhari doesn't care.

The good thing is that we have news outlets like Aljazeera, CNN, Fox News etc that still report news based on a reasonable outlook of life. That's why Buhari will keep exposing himself to the entire world as the tyrant he truly is
