You broke away for 3years with 3million souls that perished within that spate of time and at the end, you were still defeated and taken as war booties and slaves.

Funny you.

Boko Haram too we tell us in 2035 that they formed their Caliphate for 5years. Hide your face in shame.

Farc has been controlling territories in Colombia for decades, Tamil tigers held their territories for years bef they were finally crushed by the Sri Lankan Army and you are here celebrating what Boko Haram even surpassed.

Abeg park well.

Exactly. So until you and your people get to the level or league of those that have 'Broken away', do not criticise those who have achieved the same in the past because on the slavery scale, you guys are way below. Self determination is an expensive business, it is not for the faint hearted, it is for the brave. You and your people don't even come close to this.

pansophist:
What's your proof of this? I don't believe it.

Of course I agree with that there are racist Polish people

Says a descendant of ojukwu who was chased to Abidjan after losing 3m eboes. A runaway general is brave according to eboes. Lolzzzz

Brave man from the ultimatum tribe, when are you going to bring down the zoo? Chest beating cowards.

At least us and Ojukwu fought for 3 long hard years before he fled to Abidjan. That's miles away from a tribe of cowards that can't fight for anything talkless of fleeing any where. Go and get the spine to fight first before you criticise those that have fought before.

Super1Star:
Tell us one single thing the ultimatum and chest beating tribe has achieved in this country. Just one.

Apart from killing the leaders of other regions and criminality.

Maybe you never head about it but we did break out of Nigeria and fought to retain that freedom for 3 years. Nobody else in Nigeria can do that not even if they wanted to.

Kastonkastroll:
[s][/s] Unlike you people that have spent years trying to breakaway from Nigeria without any meaningful success, when we(SW) are ready to leave Nigeria, believe me it won't take us more than five years to do that

Don't make me laugh. You people don't have the spine to leave Nigeria. You think self determination is typing nonsense on Nairaland? The Yoruba man is a congenital coward.

Ugomba:
He is An Igbo man. First black parliamentarian in a Racist Poland.

Yeah. His name is John Abraham Godson Chikama Onyekwere. He is an indigene of Umuahia, Abia state. He went to study in Poland many years ago but ended up settling there. He later made history as the first black person to be elected into the Polish national assembly. The first time he got up to make a speech, almost half of the all white Polish assembly got up and left

I've got to hand it to Metuh, the man eats well.

In over 4 thousand years of history, the much larger Igbos never attempted to 'colonise' the minority tribes around them like the Yorubas did with their Oyo empire and the Hausa/Fulani did with their sokoto caliphate. It is now that the Igbos will want to colonise them? Jokers!

I would like the same DNA prescribed for Okorocha.

3rdlegxxx:
They seem to want their own country, it is a reasonable concept it's just that we have come too far to let that happen

Oh really? 4 years after Lugard created Nigeria, Czechoslovakia broke away from the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1918 and became a sovereign nation. After many years, in 1992, the Czechs said to the Slovaks

'I want my own country'
The Slovaks replied 'no worries, let's shake hands and remain friends'

Both sides became the Czech Republic and The Republic of Slovakia on January 1st 1993.

There was no noise making.

In Africa, whenever someone says 'I want my own country'

The reply is 'let's settle this with bullets!'

Okoroawusa is a disgrace to us Igbos! How can a well managed Imo state be broke? How can an Oil producing state like Imo be broke? Okorocha must tell Imo state people exactly what he did with their money.

APC chief apologist of the Igbos has ran Imo state into the ground. Change indeed!

I think that many people were far more interested in the Buhari administration arresting some 'big names' that they forgot that Buhari should have put emphasis on how to make it impossible to steal. I have no problem with Buhari going after people from previous administrations who embezzled public money as long as he does it within the ambit of the law,however, this alone will not rid Nigeria of corruption. If anything, it will just make those currently stealing to find more ingenious ways of hiding their loot. What is Buhari doing to increase accountability, checks and balances that will make it hard for anyone to steal?

beg...another ipob reasoning orientation u need deliverance from kanu .....Nigeria state is avoiding war at all cost ....war is unnecessarily expense we need the fund to develop our poverty stricken nation with high infant mortality low life expectances and 10 million out of school kids ,graduate unemployment 70 percent and 30 million unemployed or underemployed person ...no country with the above statistic will want to toy with the fanciful idea of war after the first expedition with youthful exorbitances of gowon 33 yrs and ojukwu 36 yrs killing over 2 million ipobs and many Nigerians .
wanton destruction of property and lively hood
American and nato has expended over a trillion dollar in Iraq and afganistan with the lost of 5000 American soliders yet the Taliban is still there isil has sprang up destroying the region without any concrete achievement WAR COST HUMAN LIVES AND MONEY TO EXECUTE WE RATHER IMPROVE OUR LIVES THAN TO FOLLOW THAT PART ....KANU WIFE GAVE BIRTH TO A KID IN LONDON ....UR WIFE GAVE BIRTH IN AGWU DILAPITATED CLINIC AND HE CALLING U TO WAR U BE MUMU

You and most people like you like to dance around the main issue instead of addressing it. You think this about Kanu? You think it was about Ojukwu? My people have been fighting a long time for their freedom. They fought the British in the Ekumeku wars. They fought again in Arochukwu wars. This was long before Kanu and Ojukwus fathers were even born. They fought again in the Nigerian civil war. So if these people are fighting for their freedom all this time, what is the point of keeping them? There is no need for any war and there would have been no need for it if the powers that be had asked my people "Do you want one Nigeria?". A simple referendum would have solved everything. And a referendum we still seek because it is the right of a people to choose where they belong. Taking that right away is what has caused ever war in history

Major Chukwuka lives in Enugu while Captain Nwobosi lives in his native Obosi near Onitsha. Both men fought galantly on the Biafran side. I don't condone coup plotting especially when it is against a democratially elected government. However, it should noted that Nzeogwu and co did not strike because all was well and good with Nigeria. There was serious political problems and killings in Nigeria that arose from the 1964 elections which continued in 1965. I believe that even if Nzeogwu and co had not conducted a coup, Nigeria would have still went down the road of violence.

I urge all those that want warri to be capital of Delta state to push for the creation of Anioma state which Anioma people have been agitating for a long time. As an Igbo man, I want Anioma to become the 6th Igbo state.

Yet, at the end of the day, it will still be all of you who will be begging to be in 'one Nigeria' with IPOB.

but the great ojukwu was buried by zoo sojas and rapped in zoo flag...his fine wife is the ambassor of the zoo to spain..and ojukwu also own propety in the zoo capital abuja jabi...so who be monkey in the zoo

Ojukwu was too dead to decide what flag he got wrapped in, his wife can accept any post for this has nothing to do with her and anyone is entitled to own any property, anywhere in the world as long as they have money to buy.

omenka:
If they rejected Ojukwu at the polls, how much more some group of jobless touts??

See scope.

Nobody rejected Ojukwu, Ojukwus people voted massively for him. PDP rigged Ojukwu out. Later on, people like Peter Obi managed to reclaim their mandate.

One of the few Governors in Nigeria who came to work for the people.
I'm still not happy how he handled the IPOB shootings but I can't deny that he is working

ovation232:
IPOB Members were barred from Entering Nnewi yesterday as the Area Commander Nnewi Zone turned them back.
The police were battle ready with over 30 police vans,complete with battle ready anti riot policemen,who were already positioned to take orders from their superiors for battle.
However sensing that the area commander was in for serious business,the IPOD members shamefully retreated back to Onitsha where they came from.
On their way out of the town,residents were seen booing the invaders and telling them not to involve Nnewi in their madness.They also commended the AC for his proactive steps in managing the avoidable crisis in the area.

This my home state. There is no way the people of Nnewi, the home town of the great Ojukwu, would have booed anything Biafra. It's just not possible. It's either those who came were not IPOB or that those who booed were not Nnewi indigenes. Besides, why would IPOB retreat when there are several ways of getting into Nnewi. Where they all blocked? This news is just another Lagos-Ibadan-Expressway-media report

Ojukwu was the son of the richest man in Nigeria at the time. If Ojukwu had wanted, he would have just followed his father into business and enjoyed the rest of his life no caring anything about his people. But Ojukwu rejected his fathers money and joined the Nigerian Army as a lowly recruit! It was only after a few weeks that the British officers started wondering what an Oxford graduate like Ojukwu should be doing with army recruits, many of who could not write their own names, and sent him on an officers course to England.


Like him or loath him, it would be hard for anyone to be dancing the song of 'one Nigeria' while over 50,000 of his own people were being slaughtered in broad daylight. Ojukwu did what he had to do, if I had been him, I would have done the same.

Just look at the names of all the people that were slaughtered just so that a chief of Army staff will not be late for his appointment with an Emir. Chei!

Nigeria I hail thee!

People are asking the question why Nigeria has not worked as a nation but the answer is staring us in the face. We are running the wrong system of Government. It is impossible to bring the Yoruba/Hausa/Igbo man under a unitary system and expect any sort of progress. It's like bringing a Wolf,a Fox and a coyote together and locking them up in a house and expecting everything will be fine simply because they all belong to the Dog family, not a chance. You will come back to that house to find out that everything has been torn to pieces as all 3 animals have their own mode of operating. The best way to keep those Dogs is to section them in different parts of the house and give their areas of influence so that they can do their thing without bringing the house down. We must return to regionalism. As an Igbo man, I don't want Abuja controlling me. It is not for Abuja to develope me or fight own corruption battles for me. I want control my destiny, I want to control my coal in Enugu, I want to control my oil in Anambra, Imo,Abia and Ebonyi. I want to administer my own affairs. I want enact laws in the eastern region that reflect My aspirations as an Igbo man. I want Abuja to be a very weak centre with a ceremonial president who is commander in chief and a prime minister who is head of Government. I want Abuja to seek the permission of my region and other regions before it embarks on a detrimental economic policy that will affect me. It is only when we go back to regionalism and forget this 'unity based on oil' that things will move foward. When a region knows that there is no oil money coming and no money to steal, that's when you will see people exploring options and working hard. That's why we did well when there was no oil. When I have my region, any Igbo public holder who steals money had better leave Igboland for China because we're going to come for him big time. So, as long as we run this oppressive unitary system were we are all puppets of Abuja, were an all powerful president holds sway,were autonomy has been taken away from the people, we will have a Nigeria that will never work. We will have disenchantment, resentment, monumental corruption, lack of patriotism and even outright calls for secession. The people own the land, the land never owns the people.

Seems that problem is common with Easterners!

Any problem they have, be it losing election, be it arrest of a treasonous felon like Nnamdi Kanu, be it marginalization, be it erosion, be it losing the Civil War, be it Olisah Mee-Too eating EFCC Letter-headed paper,.... They ALWAYS blame it on Yorubas!

Yorubas causing nightmares for them, back-to-back since 1967 !

But it is the Yorubas who are begging to be in 'one Nigeria' with Igbos.

Excuzeme:
Their are two types of "heroes".

1.) FOOLISH heroes ....... those ones die a miserable death, trying to prove a point, no matter how senseless the point is.

2.) SMART heroes.... those ones know when to dialogue, when to fight small and retreat and how to live long to see their grand children.

It is obvious that most people from East belong to the first category.

Foolish stubbornness that led to the death of millions of Easterners, is not a virtue.

Say "NO" to mass-suicide.

A lot of people would call it cowardice for a person to be hiding behind dialogue instead of fighting for your God given right to freedom. An Igbo man is no coward. The millions that died did not die because of the stubborness of the Igbos, the died because the oppressive Nigerian state wanted force everyone to be 'one Nigeria' because of oil money. To create Nigeria, Lugard had to kill many people, to keep Nigeria one Gowon had to kill millions. The unity of Nigeria is something that has always been killing people since Lugard came and it will carry on that way until the people finally get their freedom and Nigeria is no more

Putting him in handcuffs changes nothing. It's just a standard procedure. I think that Nnamdis arrest,detention,arraignment and handcuffing were all necessary to establish him as an authentic freedom fighter. Same way a true street guy needs street cred, Nnamdi needed authenticity. For those who think that pictures or videos of Kanu in cuffs would dampen the spirit of his supporters, it will even make it stronger. Even Olisa Metuh got more support amongst his people after pictures of him in handcuffs surfaced. I'm not worried about the charges. Awolowo was once in handcuffs, tried and convicted for treason. He later got out. Uwazuruike has been charged with treason more times than I can remember, he is a free man today and still pursuing his agenda. Nnamdi Kanu will triumph and come out stronger than when he went in.

Ikpeazu should stop wasting his time at the Supreme Court and start looking for a good trailer that will remove his belongings from Government House.

omnisali:
He might be igbo but born and raise in the west or north.

Of course! If you ask him how to get to his fathers village in the east, he will not be able to tell you.

It may interest some of you to know that present day England and indeed the English are decendants of Germanic people who migrated from the Engles and Saxony areas of Germany 5000 years ago. That's why the English are sometimes known as the 'Anglo-Saxons'. Infact, 'England' actually means 'land of the Engles'. However, the English rarely ever aknowledge their German heritage

In my life time, I know I will never see an 'Nnamdi Kanu' come out of the SW. Men who stick by what they believe in and are prepared suffer and die for that belief don't exist in that part of Nigeria.

UrennaNkoli:
Let this man rot in jail ASAP. He's of no use to our beloved country Nigeria.

Your beloved country? You mean the one Lord Lugard gave you?
