armadeo:My dear, no one can put a price tag on freedom and sovereinghty. Sovereignty is worth much more than any amount of Igbo investment in Nigeria. You talked about a round table agreement? I hope Biafra comes by this way because the alternative will be war and even after that war, regardless of who wins, Nigeria will not be able to come back together anyway. BTW, did Nigeria come about through a round table meeting or the bullets of the whiteman? Nigeria is a monumental fraud. The last picture was in May this year in Aba where over 1 million youths turned up at a Biafran event. Most of them wearing white in solidarity with Biafra. So you still think Biafra is an online word? It is now a global movement |
searching4love:Obviously, you still don't know that Nigeria is an illegal entity? Nigeria came about from a gross act of illegality and that why it is a fraud |
armadeo:You obviously don't know what is happening these days. There is a groundswell of support for Biafra. Huge swaths of people from the former eastern Nigeria are embracing it on daily basis. You said that no Nigerian president will accept it? That is stale news, a president has no choice but to accept the will of the people same way David Cameron had to grant Scotland a referendum last year. You talked about property of Biafrans in Nigeria. There is international laws which Nigeria must abide by if it is to remain a member of the international community and one them is the unwarranted siezing of assets. No where in the world can a Government sieze the assets of a person just because they not citizens of that country. It is never done. You said Biafra is online word? Look at these pictures and tell me what you see.

FFKfuckedBIANCA:And after ruling for 8 years, are you any better off than the Igbos? The Igbos and Yorubas mutually despise each other. They can never team up. As long as Igbos and Yorubas are in one country, they can't friends, they can only be friends in Odua Republic and Biafra |
blaqoracle:Ojukwu left 2 days before the war ended. There isn't any Igbo man alive who will see any point in him staying back to be slaughtered over a war that was no longer winnable, that would have been totally pointless. I'm glad he left, he lived long enough for the Igbo nation to enjoy him much longer |
[b] A lot of people have this belief that Nigeria defeated Biafra militarily. Far from the truth. What happens in 1970 was actually a 'ceasefire' that was crafted into a surrender. I still say it that the only reason that Nigeria was successful was the involvement of Britain and Russia. It was British warships that enforced the blockade which prevented Ojukwu from acquiring the necessary armaments,supplies and food necessary to prosecute the war. Had Britain stayed neutral,Biafra would have triumphed. Even Gowon said he had no money to fight the war. It was Ojukwu that had the Oil money to fight the war. I laugh when Nigerians 'chest beat' that they defeated Biafra. It's almost like an abled bodied man gloating that they won a fight where the opponent had only one arm. I'm proud of the Biafran soldier who fought gallantly for 3 years despite being outgunned, out manned and against overwhelming odds. The funny thing is that Britain that supported 'one Nigeria' was prepared to let go one of its constituent parts last year. Ojukwu has been vindicated. The self determination that Ojukwu stood on, which sounded like fairy tale back then, is now a recognised right of man [/b] |
sdindan:I don't want to jump to conclusions here but can anyone tell us when Buhari married Aisha? We have all seen her children and it looks like she couldn't have been more than 15 when she had her first child |
laudate:And all of this is to defend the "British business organisation" called Nigeria which was setup by Lugard |
[b] The achievements of the Yoruba people isn't in doubt. They have gone very far in education and as captains of industries and even Politics. When I was in secondary school, I was astonished to read Yoruba history, the Oyo empire and Afonja. I was marvelled because we Igbos never had or built empires. Igbo land was a loose confederation of clans who tenaciously held on to their indepedence. It is with deep regret that today,the Yoruba man has no iota of self determination. Reading Yoruba history, one would have thought that they would have been at the forefront of an independent Odua Republic so that they can administer their affairs, instead, today the Yoruba man has become a slave of "one Nigeria" and an eternal servant of the North. It beggars belief that a people who once controlled a vast empire that stretched from present day Bini to Togo cannot see past the artificial creation called Nigeria. Not only have Yorubas become slaves of one Nigeria, they even admonish people who seek self determination such as the Igbos when we Igbos mention an independent home land of Biafra. How did things get like this? How did the Yorubas let northerners install an "Emir" in Yorubaland? How come the extent of Yoruba self determination ends at regionalism? How did these people lose their sense of self determination? Most regrettable [/b] |
This is the price of the abomination called 'one Nigeria'. With every person they kill only proves that the Igbos are right to seek Biafra |
SirLegal:Just the same way you have the right to believe in "One Nigeria" is the same way another set of people have the right to believe in "one Biafra". Your rights stop where another mans rights starts. At least you saw some people freely protesting and agitating for a future country called Biafra, did your ancestors ever agitate for 'Nigeria' or did Luagard come from Britain to force them into Nigeria at gun point? Biafra is more legitimate than Nigeria because it is native Africans that are clamouring for it, unlike your 'one Nigeria' which is just an artificial creation of the White man. When the time comes for a referendum, urge your part of the SS to vote to stay in Nigeria. Not all of what you call 'SS' will be part of Biafra and nobody will force anyone into anything |
dinachi:How come you never seem to see beyond your nose? Was it Nnamdi Kanu who killed those three people? (assuming the news is actually true) These people were exercising their contitutionally guaranteed right to free speech and freedom of association by going out to canvass and solicit for Biafra. They were not armed, they were peaceful. The same security outfit that swore to protect them came and gunned them down. You are not talking about the murder of unarmed civilians, what you are talking about is Nnamdi Kanu? You are truly an embarrassment. It is the height of bigotry for any branch of the armed forces to turn their guns on protesting people people regardless of what they are protesting for. Start thinking with your common sense |
drberry:That's the reality these Yoruba people shouting 'Biafra' never want to face. If the North had Oil, they would have seceded long time ago and there would be no Nigeria. Anyone shouting "One Nigeria" is just someone who is looking for Oil money. |
Ahmedie25:Dont talk nonsense. Nobody can generate 5000 Mw of electricity withing 100 days. It is simply not possible. Buhari is not a miracle worker. Any improvement you see right now in the power sector has more to do with Jonathan's administration than Buhari |
Ebonyi state has everything, Oil, limestone, cement. The state is the largest food producer in Igbo land and probably had the largest deposit of solid minerals as well. It's just unfortunate that the state has lagged behind other Igbo States because of lack of visionary leaders |
People from the so called Niger Delta make me laugh when they reject the notion of Biafra and accept 'one Nigeria'. If you are from the SS, I strongly urge you to watch the YouTube video where former minority leader of the House of Reps, Hon Farouk Adamu Aliyu tells Nigerians who actually owns the Oil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmeGyNqwX5s |
Sowell26:You still missed the point that prince was trying to make to you. I support Biafra and God knows that Igbos will not force anyone into Biafra against their will. But if the Oron nation or any other minority in the SS wants autonomy, how will they ever get it in Nigeria? Can the Oron nation take on the Northerners/Yorubas alone? Doesn't it make far more sense to secede with Igbos,then at a later date, demand your own autonomy? Let me sound a note of warning to the Niger-Delta people. We Igbos are going to leave Nigeria one day and we will take along with us those minorities that agree to go with us. But for those of you who decide to stay back in Nigeria, you will eternally remain slaves of the Hausa-Fulani Northern Oligarchy. God knows that they will never let you people go and whatever autonomy you hoped for will be forever gone because quite Franky, you will not have the numbers to ever fight them |
magicminister:[b] I want to start by saying that hiring mercenaries in times of war is normal. There are foreign soldiers who are trained in special combat situations such as jungle warfare,amphibious fighting and gurreilla tactics which the local army may not have knowledge of. Ojukwu and Gowon both hired mercenaries. A lot of ignorant people blame Ojukwu for the war as if he started it. Some even say he should have stayed back to be slaughtered and that he was a coward for fleeing. It's just unfortunate that the present generation do not know the history of Nigeria or the war. The first coup in Nigeria was called an 'Igbo coup' but it was not. People like Ojukwu and Ironsi were the ones who fought to put that coup down. Six months later, the northerners did their own coup and killed over 300 eastern Soldiers. As if that was not enough, they now went on to kill over 50,000 eastern civilians,men,women,children,babies. Children drowned in wells,pregnant women's bellies ripped open, men beheaded, young girls raped. It is easy for people to chant "one Nigeria" if these things are happening to other people and not them. When all of this happend, Ojukwu had a moral obligation to protect his people from death. Northerners conducted a bloody coup under Murtala, did anyone kill 50,000 of their people? No. Middle belters conducted a bloody coup under Dimka, did anyone kill 50,000 of their people? No. The SS did a bloody coup under major Orkah, did anyone kill 50,000 SS people? No. But when it comes to Igbos, that's when every body feels like going on a killing spree. Ojukwu was justified in fighting to protect his people. It was the Government of Nigeria that killed those two million people all because they wanted oil. That's the real reason the war was fought, it had nothing to do with keeping Nigeria one as it had with not allowing Ojukwu go with the oil. Finally, on matter of Ojukwu fleeing. I often ask people, what would have been the point of Ojukwu killing himself or staying back to be killed over a war he had already lost? What would this have achieved? Nobody has been able to answer me to this day. All that would have happened would have been that Ojukwus body would have been paraded publicly and made a jest of and the same people who now call Ojukwu a coward for fleeing at the end of the war would have been calling him a fool for staying back to be killed like a Chicken. We Igbos love Ojukwu for fighting for our liberation and freedom. He was the only one till date who fearlessly stood to Northern domination when all others succumbed. He was a great man who stood by his people in difficult times. He was the greatest Igbo man I will ever seee in my life time [/b] |
Bdemmy:And who's right is it to form Biafra? |
First movie I ever saw him in, can't recall the name, he was by the bar rapping. Years later, I saw him on Bissalah road,Enugu, shooting a movie. One woman in the crowd of onlookers called him 'Bow-joint' for some reason. About a year later, I heard he was dead. |
opeaceo:Next time, try to read well what people write here. I said "one of the reasons". I never said "the only reason" |
Buhari was disappointment long before he ever got elected. Besides being a successful coup plotter, the man never achieved anything in his life before he got elected |
Buhari can do what he likes. All I care about is Biafra |
[b] I'm pleasantly surprised that the OP, an Igbo man born and raised in Lagos and married to a Yoruba woman, has still kept an open mind about Nigeria and Biafra. Many 'Nigerians' are closed minded people who cannot see beyond the 'colonial handcuffs' that Lugard put them into in the name of "Nigeria". In my experience, it is usually Igbos who are born or raised outside Igbo land in places like Lagos are the ones who don't support Biafra. Some of them don't even know how to get to their villages in the east to talk about Biafra. One of the reasons why I support Biafra is this increasing generation of Igbos raised outside Igbo land who are slowly losing their identity. They must be given a new platform to rediscover themselves. When it comes to the wider scheme of things, there is argument in the fact that it is the undisputed right of the Igbo people to decide for themselves if they want be Nigerian or not. So there is realy no argument about Biafra. I'm an Igbo man by birth I'm a Biafran by free choice I'm a Nigerian "by force" [/b] |

Y'ALL SHOULD KEEP CRYING AND WEEPING. WE THE YORUBAS INVESTED SO MUCH IN HIS PRESIDENCY BUT WE ARE NOT SCREAMING MARGINALIZATION. IF HE LIKES, LET HIM APPOINT CAMEROONIANS IN ALL POSITION WHAT MATTERS IS THE FULFILMENT OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES AND AN ENABLING ENVIROMENT FOR EVERYONE TO THRIVE. YOU IGBOS VOTED FOR GEJ IN MASS AND YOU ALL SHOULD EXPECT NOTHING IN RETURN. Y'ALL ARE A CONFUSED BUNCH. TODAY U WANT Biafra, THE NEXT DAY U SCREAM MARGINALIZATION FROM THE SAID ZOO AS PROCLAIMED BY YOUR SUICIDE MISSION LEADER NNAMDI KANU. BUHARI CAN CHOOSE 100% NORTHERNERS. NOBODY CARES
