What stops Igbo from getting her Biafra? Please take your biafra nonsense out of nairaland owned by a Yorubaman

OldJohn:
I laugh in German and their tanks that Nigeria will borrow to fight. U thnk 35 million people will fight. U won't see up to 4000 volunteers. I know my people na. Even if we are 35 million, one bomber jet flying well above clouf level borrowed from Egypt by Nigerians will be enough to end the war. Better go and read your bible and face the welfare of your wives and children

OldJohn:
Can't u see, everyone will ask us to lick our wounds and remain with Nigeria. ECOWAS. AU. UN. Nobody will have our backs. Except if its a serious case of maybe a pogrom or genocide, it will Just be we and our ak47 and ogbunigwe. They will call us troublemakers because nobody touched us and we started talking secession and Buhari won't want to go down in history as the man under whose leadership a section of the country seceded. The war will be fought in or land not theirs. Our innocent women and children will perish not theirs. Our infrastructures and lands will be bombed not theirs. those of us not in the east we will be between the devil and deep blue sea. Their brothers will be fighting us in the front line and they'll let us have our businesses, wealth and lands? Come on. Stop being childish. War is never an answer. Learn from Martin Luther King he fought one of the greatest word without lifting as much as a pen knife. If u are fighting the right cause you won't need a gun to defend it.
And before u pen down another story of war, ask yourself - if my God is in heaven watching me, will he be happy I'm calling for the destruction of lives he created? When I can't even make a hairstrand

I have always maintained that Nnamdi kanu is a confused con artist that is on a fairy tale run.

he started his organization as a cheap scam scheme, But when he realized How vulnerable we igbos are with the biafra subject, he decided to expand his scope like every smart scammer.....

The sad truth is, he doesn't know the gravity of what he is playing with all in the name of some cheap dollars, power and fame.

what happened in Aba yesterday must be condemned in the strongest terms.
Be that as it may, we must take it from the right angle. Everyone knows the Nigerian police and military and How they are with guns. Accidental discharge and Nigerian police are like bread and beans. They have killed innocent Nigerians from many tribes through this means. The igbos are not solely targeted. Besides it wasn't even the police that shot the man, it was NDLEA.

By taking up arms and confronting instituted forces in ABA, as commanded by Nnamdi kanu, Nnamdi kanu is gradually branding his organization a terrorist group.

Since after the jamming brouhaha, the world has being watching Radio Biafra with keen interest, trying to place and define the struggle.

By taking up arms, it is now evident to the entire world that IPOB is a terrorist organization and no Nation ever would take them serious, even when they cry of genocide.

Nnamdi kanu should stop this madness now and call his boys to order before it becomes too late.

What is wrong with igbo's?

When you read books like Things Fall Apart, Efuru and their likes, you get to learn a great deal about the Igbo culture. The men are usually men of honour, they mean what they say and say what they mean. Most of all, when or if a decision taken takes a bad turn, they are ready to face it like the warriors they are.

Funny thing is that these kind of Igbo men seem to exist in meusiums and old history books, but no longer in real life. Ok, you can find a handful here and there but a majority of them today are better of taking the steps of Bruce Jenner.

When you hear some Igbo men talking about how the north marginalised them, in terms of governance via millitary coup, you may be forced to believed that millitary coups are conducted by ballots rather than bullets. Especially when Igbos are pioneers of coup de tete in this country. Instead of sitting on your sorry asses and disrespecting the legacies of your ancestors, why not take your guns and do it the way it's done?

Again you complain of systematic killing, when it was you who first initiated the systematic killings of prominent Nigerian leaders. When shit hit the fence, you start whining in such a way that is hypocritical and anoying. The Sardauna for example was not only a leader of the Hausa, he was leader of Muslims in Nigeria. If you want to kill a man like that, be ready to face the consequences and don't cry.

Then came Biafra, which any strategic leader and general knows it's a stupid idea. You do not start a war you obviously know you cannot win. Especially when your soldiers shamelessly fed on food that was meant for poor civilians, mainly women and children, forcing federal forces to cut off food supply, because obviously, you cannot feed your enemy, that is stupid. But then again, you blame Nigeria for starving your people, how? So you mean to say you had no plans to provide food for your people before going to war? And by the way, why not take responsibility since you claim to no longer belong to Nigeria, what kind of logic is that?

Then just a few months back, not only did you insult Buhari inside out, you walked to the graveyard, with your flashlights and shovels, dug out his dead wife and daughter, vomited, maturbated and peed all over them without any iota of shame. You even swore that Buhari will not become president, and made us all believe that you are custodians of the gates of heaven and hell and have the power to do and undo. Today? Different story. Open every newspaper and what you read is "Buhari has shown his hatred for Igbos". What the hell is wrong with you guys?

And again today, we are back to the good old Biafra thing again.

Pangea:
OK o!
You people think PMB is the spineless Jonathan!
Una go soon cry genocide again!

At least the North East you have been laughing at that they reaping what they sown in the civil war are not crying genocide.

I wonder what you lot are reaping or the reason for this second madness

atule185:
It appears the igbo's are yet to learn from history from 1967-1970 ,it was a bitter experience any one wishes his enemies to see, please for those calling for Biafra ask Rwanda they will tell u their story war is the last thing anyone should ever dream of in his life time!

airmark:
Then what's the essence of Biafra? Is it not to make life better for those living in it? Then how will your life be better if you are not making money? So indirectly it's about people making money to live a better life my brother. Even in the east, not every poor person will risk his life on the order of a 39 year old London based agitator. The ubas of this world will never come out and say they are tired of Nigeria and say they are for Biafra. Knowing that a single shot fired may end all they laboured for years, while the agitator is in Marriott hotel in London getting a head in the midst of carribean ladies. Think deep.

airmark:
If you are living in Nigeria with thriving business and properties unlike nnamdi kanu, and you are making your money genuinely, your family are doing fine and not a wicked person, you won't opt for war. Even ojukwu ran away at the thick of it. Think deep.

My uncle fought the first Biafran war and when I asked him if he would again fight for we igbos he laughed and said there's nothing like enjoying peace. It could take just a bullet for your own war to finish my bro.

I think op made very strong points there.

I have a friend who was a mercenary in ghadaffi's war. You have never experienced superior fire power and demons of the air in form of bombers and jet fighters and you are talking of war, who will support us?

Didn't u see how obj crushed the spirit of our brothers in the creek such that when offered amnesty they dropped their weapons.

I'm actually in a uni where the amnesty students are doing their academic programs, and if u ask 20, 19 will tell u they can't pick up a gun again. And u are here talking of war.

Most of we Igbo are rich and very comfortable where we are living, I don't know why u will be talking of war because of politics the average igbo man isn't interested in. Abeg our generation, especially we in school have gone to far integrating as we have so many friends from different ethnic backgrounds. You haven't thought of the fact that igbos have toiled and own 70% of land in abj( el rufai FTC minister 2007) and u are asking them to leave all of it and start fighting war. Where will financial support come from, our Igbo politicians, ohaneze? I pray ooo. Our youths will just shed their blood like stock pigs and we will be the jest of the world just like France, first to declare war and first to lose; twice in history. and then you will now see the true meaning of marginalization.

TRUTHTOPOWER:
This is very noble. The little fear is that the envisaged "freedom" may not be attained after the war. Freedom is hollow and barren if it does not bring peace. From Iraq to Sudan and USSR, the glarring lesson is that: armed conflict will remain a war of peacekeeping long decades after the war is over whilst dialogue will yield progress even in the pendency of cold war. I think this is nobler, my brother. Another question is: how many souls of the weak, children, women, sick are you willing to sacrifice so as to have your idea of freedom? will the sufferings of these class of people not be a bondage far agonizing than current burden of political exclusion which you claimed has been trusted on you? What benefit has the poor urchins in Kaduna or Osun has over the ones in Ebonyi? Will it not be nobler to fight for social justice in your homeland than to wage war over the privileges of elective or appointive offices? Does it not shock you that the media has brainwashed its readers to ignore their rights and focus on the privileges of our leaders. Alas. we are now part of the treachery - albeit unwittinly!

wilybebsy:
broz can u stand war wen it surfacez?

omenka:
The one question I keep asking which has yet to be answered is: why didn't Igbos vote enmass for Ojukwu when he stood for election? Was he not good enough for them even though he was the founder of the Bia*** movement??

They had a shot at redressing the situation yet didn't take it. Why are they now blaming everyone

tellwisdom:
Please someone should marry that gurl. She's made

wrongnumber:
I was watching a talk show on tvc this morning and a marriage councilor talked about an igbo lady that cried to him saying her dad wants a millon naira for her bride price.

She further said her dad should even give her free to the guy because she has aborted 3 times gor the guy and she will be the one to lose should the guy leaves.

I pity igbo ladies.I honestly do.

Oyind17:
The Igbos are praying while the north and west are ruling. Continue praying, me sef dey pray for our presido
