binarytraders:The reason why most Igbos think Yorubas are cowards is that they can never fight without their northern comrades. It's like the Yoruba have this instilled fear of the North and always want to be on their good side which if true, is cowardice. At least the Igbos fought the Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy of the North. Can the Yorubas do this? Not in a million years. |
[b]I think that some of these hypocrites should start telling themselves the truth about the war because lies will help no one. Ojukwu did not start the Biafran war. It is one thing to declare Biafra, it is another to start shooting. It was Gowon who started the war. Ojukwu declared Biafra through due process. Ojukwu received the mandate of all the eastern Nigerian consultative assembly which represented all 20 provinces of eastern Nigeria to declare Biafra. Gowon on the other hand had no mandate even to be head of state when there were many officers who were senior to him (Ojukwu,Adebayor,Ejoor,Imo,Bassey and many others were all senior to Gowon). I can't fault Adekunle for fighting against Biafra, he started of well before his men were routed by Biafran soldiers and he was recalled from the war. What I'm against is if he committed war crimes just like Murtala Mohammed. I tend to believe he did. Murtala Mohamned and Adekunle share a lot in common. They were both blood thirsty soldiers who let ambition cloud their judgement and they both ended up failed soldiers who's lives ended unceremoniously [/b] |
StOla:[b] Like you and the rest of the supporters of the British made fraud called Nigeria, you are all jokers. At least the Igbos fought for their sovereignty, for their own separate country and their freedom. I can guarantee you that Yorubas cannot fight for these noble values, not even in a thousand years. Sometimes it's not about losing or winning. Sometimes it's about if you have the backbone to fight in the first place. I'm proud of Ojukwu for fighting when others capitulated to Northern domination. Nigeria is an 'enforced' unity and as such, cannot stand the test of time. It is a country with no foundation. Only a person who has adopted slave mentality will see the genuine aspirations if a people to be free as a suicide tendency. I'm an Igbo man, I was an Igbo man long before Lugard created Nigeria. I will never forced against my will to be a Nigerian. Radio Biafra says the hard truth that people don't want hear. That if Nigeria does not want grant Biafrans their freedom, we Biafrans must be prepared to fight for it. In the end, nobody is fooling anybody in Nigeria. We all know that the unity of Nigeria is predicated on Oil and nothing more. If it had been the Northerners that had Oil and seaport, they would have left Nigeria a long time ago. The only difference is that we Igbos would have been very happy to be rid of them [/b] |
egift:If you think that majority of Igbos don't want Biafra, then why are you letting it bother you? Infact, you should encourage the proposed referendum since you are convinced that Igbos will vote to stay in Nigeria |
oluspencer:What legitimacy has Nigeria got? Is it the one where we all freely came together and agreed to become Nigerians, which never happend, or is it the one that Lugard came from Britain to enforce? So your legitimacy came first from the guns of Lugard and now, it comes from the guns of the Nigerian armed forces? Nigeria is the longest running fraud in West Africa |
egift:[b]This is the thinking of a man living inside a box. You have to think outside the box. The corruption,bigotry, ineptitude and tribalism you talk about are all as a result of the unworkable British contraption called Nigeria. Have you ever asked your self why the only time Nigeria had progress was when we had regions? It is because the regions had autonomy to administer their affairs. No one was waiting for the federal Government to come and bail them out. Everybody looked inward at what they had, be it human or mineral resources to generate the resources needed for public services. There was no room for corruption because Government was closer to home. But today, Jigawa and Sokoto are waiting for Ijaw oil money to save them while secretly mining the solid minerals on their lands. That's why Nigeria is a fraud . If you are scared of dying because of your freedom and the freedom of your people then admit you are a coward. Even Zik and his fellow nationalist lost their men fighting for freedom from the British. Sovereignty, the ability to be self Governing is the watch word here, without it you are nothing [/b] |
Duru1:If one looks at the map of the SE/SS states, it can be clearly seen that just the SE States cuts through the middle of SS States. The tip of Abia state cuts deep into Rivers state and is very close to the Ocean or coast line. What this means is that should any of the Rivers-Igbos South of Abia or Imo, such as the Ikweres, Bonny-Igbos or the Opobo Igbos elect to join their fellow Igbos in Biafra (And I'm confident they will accept this choice) , the Republic of the Niger-Delta will be virtually impossible because Biafra will neatly divide that Republic into two separate halves. I think that the Republic of the Niger-Delta maybe tougher to get than Biafra |
biafran1stson:[b]I give it to Uwazulike for initiating the struggle for the emancipation of Biafrans. Uwazulike has endured all manner of abuse from unlawful arrest and detention to the killing of MASSOB members. The problem with Uwazulike and his non violent approach to Biafra is that he is dealing with the Nigerian Government, Nigerians and Nigerian security forces, all of which have no respect for the rule of law. The same Nigerian Police and Army which are servants of the people will freely visit violence and death on the very same people they are wearing the uniform to protect. In Nigeria, very few people respect the inalienable right of man to freedom of expression. Say anything about Biafra and they will start shouting treason! Warmonger! Yet the same Nigerians saying this do not want to admit that Nigeria has no legitimacy because it is a country violently put together against the wishes of the people by the White man. There is no document anywhere in the world where Igbos signed up to be Nigerians. We are in a forced marriage where we have been seeking divorce for more than 50 years. Uwazulike should continue with MASSOB, however, only a radical like Kanu can get Biafra. [/b] |
NOBODYY:Joker! Igbo land sits on huge deposits of Oil and gas, numerous solid minerals and arable land. As for the sea port you keep talking about, tributuaries run from Imo and Abia state straight into the Athlantic Ocean. Those tributuaries can be dredged and a seaport built in Oguta in Imo |
An interesting piece. Unfortunately, Yorubas are followers of Lord Lugard, and as such, will not appreciate what you wrote. It is funny that Yorubas and Igbo who barely knew each 200 years ago have by accident of history found themselves in one country and the average Yoruba will say we are 'one'. I had a Yoruba friend called Bankole, we used to work together. The day I told him in conversation that I support my fellow Igbos having their own independent homeland of Biafra, he accused me of sedition, treachery,treason and seeking war. He asked me why I would want to divide a great country like Nigeria. I told him that Lord Lugard is not enough reason for me to give up my sovereignty and that a country should be by the free will of the people and not by force. He got up and left and has not talked since then, this was almost two years ago. I have since come to the conclusion that self determination is not a priority of the Yoruba people |
egift:So AlaIgbo is Nigeria? What was Ala-Igbo before Lugard came to create Nigeria 100 years ago? We Igbos have been existing on our lands for thousands of years, but today, what is more important to you is the illegal identity the White man from Europe came to impose on you. |
likila:Dont mind these African morrons who call themselves 'Nigerians', people who answer the slave name Lord Lugards girlfriend gave them. How can the police arrest people for having a meeting about Biafra? What happened to the rights of these people to freedom of association and free speech? If the Nigerian Police think they can intimidate us by unlawful arrests and then they have another thinking coming. Biafra is here to stay and nothing will stop it from reaching fruition. Nigeria is fast becoming a terrorist state |
QuotaSystem:[b]For how long will you Yorubas keep peddling this false story that Ironsi was the one who destroyed regionalism and introduced the unitary system of Government? Yes Ironsi promulgated the unification decree,however, that decree did not erode the essential components of regionalism. All 4 regions where still in existence when Ironsi was killed. The regions still controled their resources. Ironsi needed that decree to enable him rule as a military leader who is used to uniformity. It was Gowon who came in and abrogated the regions, created States and made them mere appendages of the Government at the centre. Let's not keep up this falsehood. To this day, the North has refused to let regionalism return because of their over dependence on the resources of others. Another reason why the North does not want regionalsm is because it will end the political stranglehold they have over Nigeria. I'm an Igbo man, I have gone past squabbling with the Hausa and Yoruba man over what is mine in Nigeria and what is not. Regionalism is no longer good enough. A full secession of all Igbos and Igboid groups under the banner of Biafra is the minimum acceptable demand. We cant keep lying to ourselves that we are one just because a "British terrorist" called Lugard came to west Africa to tell us so. We must all go and look for our individual countries and do away with this 'British created nightmare' called Nigeria which is representative of nobody. Enough is enough [/b] |
uselessgoat:Just look at what this morron wrote. Basically, he is asking the Igbo to wait for that useless office of Nigerian presidency instead of aspiring to their own country. What an ignoramus. Did Nnamdi Kanu come to take money from anybody? Slave of "One Nigeria" |
mrvitalis:Should Biafra later become all the states in the SS/SE ( with the exclusion of Edo state), I would like the capital of Biafra to be in the SS. I also want its first president to be a non Igbo. Infact, the first 10 years of Biafra should have a non Igbo president . I also want the contitution to allow rotational presidency between the Igbos and the minorities. Also, I want all oil producing area to get at least 50% of everything coming out of their lands or waters. One last thing I would want in Biafra, is for the nation to pledge to fight alongside Yorubas should any war erupt between Yorubas and the Northerners ( I believe that should Biafra be actualised, a war will erupt between Northerners and Yorubas within 3 months |
EasternLionn:was this televised or video recorded? Is it anywhere on the Internet? Send me a link if you have any, I would really love to watch Kanu's presentation at the world Igbo congress. |
Ilekeh:1% of Igbos are Muslims? Since when? Igbos are well over 40 million people. So you are trying tell me there are 40,000 Igbo Muslims? Where are they? You must be dreaming. Look let me tell you, there can't be more than 50 Igbo Muslims in the world. Infact, I have only heard of two Igbo Muslims all my life. |
bolaino:I read the above and it translates in my mind as.......... Please Niger delta people! We Yoruba people and our Hausa partners are desperate for your Oil and Gas money! So if you people ever unite with Igbos in the quest for Biafra, we will visit terrorism on you. How do you people expect us to survive without oil? Oil is the basis of our unity. So please stay with us in Nigeria and ignore the Igbos or we shall deal with you people!! |
warrior01:It is still a mystery to me how the Igbo speaking people of Igbanke found themselves in Edo state |
lygn19:The hypocrisy of the thing is just laughable. Whenever Nigeria finds out that any part of Igbo land has oil, they will carve the place out and put it in the so called South-South |
well I hope people are hearing Keyamo? Igbos are not only limited to the 5 states in the South East. When Biafra comes, we are taking all Igbos in Delta state with us |
As an Anambra man, I'm a proud Biafran. Biafra is not negotiable! We must do everything we can to put an end to the zoological Republic of Lord Lugard! |
winniz:Of course we Igbos did not deny Kachikwu. Is there any Igbo person that will hear the name Ibe Kachikwu and not know that is an Igbo name? I think the problem is that he is one of those Igbos who was fraudulently carved into the South-South. As such, he can be judged an Igbo appointment but not a South east appointment. The OP if this thread is a fool |
AlPeter:The Igbanke people of Edo state are Igbo speaking people |
[b]Im not the kind of person who would believe in mermaids or mammy water but there are two events that I have come across which tells me that there are creatures beneath our waters we don't know about and some of them may have human features. The first event is that I remember reading and edition of the now defunct prime people magazine sometime in the 90's where a Fisher man claimed he caught a 'mammy water' in his fishing net and took it back to shore where he borrowed a camera to take a picture of it. This was before the days of the Internet, photoshop and smart phones. I saw the picture in the magazine. The best way I can describe it is that it was light Blue in colour, had the body of a fish but where the head of the fish should be was the head of a human baby or should say, a young child. Where the hands should be was fish fins. The creature had eyes, nose,mouth even ears. It also had hair that looked "Jerrcurled" and the hair was blue just like its body. The fisherman said he felt that it was a 'baby mammy water' that had been unfortunate to end up in his net. Another event was also in the 90's .There was a day I was in Barbeach. I was with a group of friends who went to chill out by the beach.There was middle aged man who was at entrance to the beach looking apprehensive. Every time the waves crashed, he would jump in fear. We went over and asked him what was wrong and the man told us a strange story that was corroborated by some of the touts on the beach. The man said he used to make a living teaching people how to swim at the beach. He said that two weeks before, the beach was packed with people when he noticed that there was a man who was far out in the Ocean where beach goers normally don't go out to. He said the man stood erect looking out to the sea. He shouted at the man to swim back because the waves could carry him away but the man made no movement. So the middle aged man, being a good swimmer all his life, decided to swim out close to where the man was to warn him he was too far out in the sea. When he got close and shouted at the man to come back closer to shore, the man just looked back at him, then turned and dived into the ocean. He said that when the man dived into the sea, he saw that the mans legs were completely made of fish scales. Fear gripped him and he started swimming back to shore frantically. But that's not the end of the story. He said that as he was swimming back, he felt someone's hands grab his legs and start pulling him into the ocean. That's when he started shouting attracting the attention of the area boys on the beach. All of a sudden, a huge wave came crashing down and that's when the creature let go of his legs and the area boys managed to drag him out of the sea to the shore where he lost consciousness. The area boys also told us that they could see that something was holding the mans leg but that they thought that the mans legs got caught on sea weeds. The even told us to take the man away from the beach because they don't know if the man was cursed. Strange things do happen in this world we live in [/b] |
Iykopee:Yes there are Igbo speaking people in Akwa ibom from what I have been told. The immediate past Governor of the state is said to be from the Igbo speaking part |
The majority in the SS might be Igbos. Delta-Igbos make up over 30% of Delta state. Rivers Igbos also have 30% of Rivers state. With smaller pockets of Igbos in Edo, Akaibom and Bayelsa, Igbos could be the largest ethnic group in the SS |
explorer250:Its one of the many injustices of the fraud called Nigeria. That part of Igbo land has been carved out into this so called South-South. Igbos make up more than 30% of Delta state. Igbos make more than 30% of Rivers state. There is even an Igbo speaking Igbanke people in Edo state. Yet some ignorant people will come out to say SS has nothing to with Igbos. I laugh |
Do u think there may be another Biafra?This man saw tomorrow. There will never be another Igbo man like him |
susanokopi:[/b] [b]I kind of pity people like you who don't have any sense of self determination. I mean the so called 'Nigerians' who really just artificial creation of the White man. Igbo land has been there for thousands of years before Lord Lugard came to create the fraud known as Nigeria, now you want the Igbos to leave their ancestral land and move to Cameroon? You people won't kill me with laughter. A Nigerian is just a west African answering a slave name the White man gave him. Go and cure your self of colonial mentality. I'm sure that if Lugard had decided to name you people the "imbeciles" instead of Nigeria, you would have been answering that name by now. |
eneidoko:What is the whole argument about? How you Nigerians cannot do without Igbos? I'm an Igbo man who wants my own country while you just a Nigerian answering a colonial 'slave' name the White man gave you. This argument is indeed laughable. An Igbo man cannot have his own country but it is a white called Lugard who has the right to come from Britain to create the contraption called Nigeria? I laugh in French. Colonial mentality is indeed an incurable disease. |
