Exactly and any rebel caught will be treated like these fools..........

You really think that pictures of half naked men will deter Igbo from their journey to emancipation? Think again. Biafra is an unstoppable Train. The only reason your so called Nigeria still stands is because we haven't yet picked up arms yet but we getting there slowly but surely. It will be interesting to see how the Nigerian armed forces with an estimated population of 200,000 is going to fight over 35 million Igbos. They can't even fight Shekau and his few thousand men. Posting a couple of pictures Biafran agitators as a warning, you're not ashamed of your self? Slave of 'one Nigeria'. Go and find your own country instead of looking for the Igbos that will be with you in the same country.

This is why it is very important that every Igbo man should think seriously about Biafra. We need to pull out of Nigeria because this is not our country, it never was. In Nigeria, we will always have crazy Islamic fundamentalists on our door step. We do not need this. The Hausa and Yoruba man is of zero value to the Igbo man.

Igbos and certain minority's in the South-South need to come together and secede from this British created 'cattle-market' called Nigeria!!

God bless Biafra

chuna1985:
All Ikweres are igbos. Its so daft as u guys keep fighting that.

Its really silly when a Man speaks Igbo n answers Igbo name n all his community n localities answer Igbo names n yet they open their mouth to claim they are not igbos.

Shame on to any Ikwere that claims to be non Igbo.

shame.

This is something I have always pondered. How can a people who speak Igbo as their ancestral language and bear Igbo surnames turn around and say they are not Igbo? What makes a person Igbo? I believe that Ikweres are Igbo and that Porthhacourt is an Igbo city,however, I'm not going to force anyone to be Igbo if they don't want be.

Sagamite:
Nigeria does not work as a nation because of its diversity and difference.

Nigeria does not work as a nation because of its useless leaders and useless followers. People with a poor mentality.

That's why that country should split up so that the different people can go and create nations that might work

Sagamite:
They would not have divided Nigeria.

They would have ruled Nigeria as a semi-theocracy where they dominate and the rest would be second class citizens.

That is how the Arabs and Muslim countries, those they mostly like to imitate, rule when with absolute power.

Go look at Sudan, Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia.

As an Igbo man, that sort country would have been worse than the one we live in right now and would be unacceptable. Nigeria just doesn't work as a nation.

Dollyak:
That's a lot of money. That will increase the Gdp by more than 80%. I can see the northerners dumping Nigeria the moment they start tapping those resources.

If the North had been the ones who had Oil and sea-port, they would have divided Nigeria a long time ago and declared "Arewa Republic". That's one of the reasons why I laugh at anyone who believes on "One Nigeria".

walwala:
Its people like you that are a problem to Aligbo. What's Okorocha's crime? It's because he's pan Nigerian? Igbos have to decide if they want Nigeria or not; this prevarication is disgusting.

Oh come on! You think Igbos fought the Biafran war because they want Nigeria? I have no problem with Okorocha being pan-Nigerian, what I have against him is that he is a back-stabber and traitor just Chibike Amaechi. Okorocha rode to power on the name of Ojukwu, APGA and his promise to be true to his people. As soon APC was formed and they dangled 'political positions' in front of him, he sold his people down the river. The mark of a good statesman politician is one who stands by his people no matter what. Not someone who is jumping around from one party to the other for political expedience. Okorocha showed by his actions that all he cares about is getting into Aso Rock. To this day, APC is still a "one man Okorocha road side show" in the South-East. Has anyone ever seen ever seen Okorocha together with any Igbo Politician or repute besides Ngige? They all avoid him like a leper. Every body saw how this Okorocha handed his Son in-law the APC Governorship ticket so he that could go to Lagos to waste his time then come back and remain Governor. We Anambra will not forget how Rochas hosted almost 200 election 'riggers' from Osun state in Owerri so that they could go and rig Ngige in Anambra. Okorocha is a joke, we are going to stone him with pure water if he ever shows his face in Anambra.

fr3do:
There were no states 50 years ago,
the concept of states were introduced by hausa-fulani soldiers, it shouldn't tear Igbos apart.

This something a lot of younger people don't know. What is 'Imo state people'? Igbos that illiterate military men like Buhari named after the Imo river. What is Anambra state? Igbos that a military idi0t named after the Anambra river. Even Nigeria is named after a river. This 'divide and rule' tactics really worked well for the Northerners. When get Biafra, one of the first things we shall do is abolish all the states and bring back regions. As for Okorocha, he should perish any thought of being president. I'm a proud Igbo man and Biafran, I don't care about Igbo presidency because I aspire for something better but if an Igbo should be president of Nigeria, it should not be Okorocha

Bonny is rich in history because it is one of the first places Europeans visited in West-Africa. I remember reading about the Bonny "Boat trading houses". This Island was also the place that they say King Jaja of Opobo left with his followers to found Opobo in 1870. Remarkably, King Jaja of Opobo was actually an Igbo man from present day AmaIgbo in Imo state and his fathers name was "Ozurumba" although King jajas real name was Jubo Juboha (Jub-oha in Igbo means "ask the people"). Bonny is blessed. I once read that there are people called the 'Bonny Igbos' native to that Island but I don't know if this true cause I've never been there. Im still a bit shocked that they speak Igbo in Opobo

Good! At least you admit we are not 'one'. When we go back to our country, you can eat the Houses, they have protein in them.

Normality:
@noblezone and zendy, do you have the link of that thread where SE tops all developmental strides.

I kind off need it urgently to box back one dude on Twitter.

Sorry but I cant remember the name of that thread.

Zeezy99:
we? Who is this we? COs the igbos here in ilorin are making money and are happy. Untill the day you learn compromise and that u can't have everything you will forever remain a slave untill such a day. Ask your elites and prosperous business men for a lesson in compromise cos u can't eat ur cake and have it, that's the currency of the real world.. You want phantom Biafra the price is u forfeit your investments in other parts of Nigeria, ask your elites if they are will to do that just to please a handful of some irrelevant poor savages

Man you are laughable. Where in the world have you seen any body forfeit their assets because they are not citizens of that country? Are you going to ask the Chinese and Indians in Nigeria to forfeit their assets because they are not Nigerian citizens? Did Slovaks and Czechs lose their assets when the country divided into Czech and Slovakia Republic in 1992? Did Southern Sudan lose their assets because they left Republic of Sudan? Don't talk rubbish. No Government will seize the assets of another just on the basis of citizenship. If a Government does that, no foreign investor will ever step foot in that country ever again and that country will remain a pariah nation for many years to come.When we get Biafra, the Igbo business Man making money in Ilorin had better think about relocating his investment back home or he is on his own in Nigeria. No amount of Igbo investment in Nigeria is worth our freedom. Besides, Nigeria is just a small patch land on earth, there many more places to invest and we Igbos don't think small.Doesn't matter how you see it, if a people don't want to be with you, you can't force them to be with you as one nation. Better start getting used the fact that Nigeria will soon come to an end.

Zeezy99:
the difference is we don't have Igbo savages claiming to be better than or are doing London, China etc a favour. Biafra my foot, rich Igbos are so much smarter than you poor savages fighting for a course that your elites will soon crush once it becomes discomforting to them

You don't even have any answer to a simple question. If an Igbo man is doing well in business in Abuja, Ilorin, London,Manchester, America or any where in the world. How will the creation of Biafra stop that business man from continuing what he is doing? We Igbos want to be free while you on the other hand want keep answering a slave name Lord Lugard gave you. Africans and slave mentality........

abagoro:
The difference between Ijaw and Igbo. No brainy person likes his house to be used as theatre of war or his citizens to be slaughtered as collateral damage.

The difference between Igbos and Nigerians

"If we have to kill each in other to be together, then why are we together?"

HopeAtHand:
IGBO, HAUSA, YORUBA are different people with different Language, Religion, blood, mentality, culture, food and life-style. We were never one until one British harlot forced us in one cage and gave it the name ZOO (Nigeria). Since then, The TIGER, the GOAT and the SHEEP in the cage are fighting each other and will keep on the fight until freedom is achieved. NOTE; You can't put the Tiger, the Goat and the sheep together and expect them to live peacefully, is either you are gambling with their lives or with their resources.... The TIGER want to be free from the zoo, give him freedom NOW


www.Ipob.com

How come the Tiger is trying to run away from the Sheep and the Goat.

If Nigeria divides, we part our ways completely. The Ikwerre doesnt need the Igbo brotherhood. The iGbos want to create a republic where they will be overlords and in total control..Nigerias many tribes act as a check and balance system, Biafra will be a winner takes all for the Igbos.

Ikwere is but a tiny section of the South-South. Their entire claim to fame is denying to be Igbo and ownership of Portharcourt. I've always said that Biafra is not a country "of by force". Anyone who is not interested can choose to remain in Nigeria. Let me tell you something you may not know. On the day that Biafra was declared in Enugu, Porthacourt were the largest contingent that came to celebrate in Enugu. Then, the Ikwere's were everywhere and proud to showcase their "Igboness". You can verify what I'm saying by reading General Philip Effiongs "Biafra:My story". I'm quite sure that if Biafra had won, you would not have remembered that 'you are not Igbo' today. If you read history, you will find out that Igbos never tried to create an 'empire' by fighting the minority tribes that surround them, unlike the Yorubas and Hausas, so this talk about Igbos wanting to be "Overlords" is baseless. Infact in Biafra, after Ojukwu, the two most senior people in Governnent were from the SS. So stop all this useless talk. If you don't want to be dragged into a war, that's a different thing but don't make it out that Igbos are your enemy when Igbos have never done anything bad to you.

Zeezy99:
simply because you are wasting away in your village smelling of dead fish and struggling with poverty doesn't mean ur other kinsmen are as narrow minded as you are, come down to ilorin and see igbos running luxury hotels, fancy stores, boutiques, restaurants ask such prosperous men if they are interested in phantom Biafra and see what their reaction would be

An Igbo man is running a hotel in Ilorin, in China, in Japan, in America, in London.

How does the formation of Biafra stop that same Igbo man from continuing to run that same Hotel? Your argument is pointless.

xordik:
“I asked myself: “Do the Igbo actually
need Biafra now?” The answer was:
“No, you don’t.” “Imagine there is a country called
Biafra. Where are you going to start
from? How much will Biafra pound be to
dollar? Who will be the leader of
Biafra?”–“You better see urselves with Yorubas,
Hausas nd other ethnic groups in this
country as 1 Nigeria.But if u pple still think that is d best option then plz gladgly make it fast cos we are tired of all ur noise- 2 all ibo who clearly can read btw d lines itz better warn ur fellow kinsem-u pple are on a path of self destruction..fore warned is fore harmed

Mr, try to go the university of hope, self determination and free choice. While you're there, try to take the course 'how to free my self from mental slavery 101'. The so called Nigeria you are professing is a product of the White man . If that white man had never come to Africa, you would not be a Nigerian. So what are you but a slave answering a slave name the White man gave him? Nigeria is a monumental fraud created by Lugard and Biafra is the answer to that fraud. We Igbos were doing fine before the White man came to force us into Nigeria and we will do ever better when we force our selves out of it. So go and spread your message of 'mental slavery' somewhere else and leave the Igbos who are seeking their freedom alone.

tupacshakur:
I think a referendum is the right way to go...

A referendum of which I'm sure majority of Igbos, who ironically reside outside the South east region, would vote "NO" to "Biafra".

My Igbo B!tch, who was born and raised in Lagos and speaks the Yoruba language more than she does Igbo says she would rather change her names to Yoruba names than relocate to South east Nigeria all in the name of "Biafra".

It would be sad to see all those fair-skinned Igbo Prostitutes that line up Adeniran Ogunsanya street, Surulere and Allen avenue, Ikeja every night relocate to "Biafra". That's my one and only concern.

Never!

The only very few Igbos who are against Biafra are those ones who were born or raised outside Igboland in places such as Lagos.Those ones don't even know how to get to their village in the east to talk about understanding Biafra. If a referendum is held today, at least 85% of all Igbos and 60% of the South-South will vote to run out of Nigeria this very day as Biafrans

HopeAtHand:
Guy, the Igbos are looking for a means ro substitute the Hausa/fulani and own the oil blocks in Rivers State..

What has really changed if you take away Hausa and put Igbo to the detriment of the Indigenous people of Rivers..

Being in Nigeria with Hausa and Yoruba is too hard for Igbos to navigate, so they want an easier republic where they are single majority to control everything..that might work id they use their 5states, except that, they're just a bunch of Fvckers.

In other words


"It is better for the minorities of the South-South to stay in Nigeria and have three masters, Hausa,Igbo and Youruba because if you follow Igbos in Biafra, you will only have one master and less people to share your Your Oil money with. So please, SS people, stay in Nigeria so we can all enjoy your oil together! Don't mind those Igbos, they supported a South-South man like their Brother in the last election but we kicked him out so we can all be 'one Ngeria' and to keep enjoying your Oil money. Say no to Biafra"


Stupidity is a horrible illness because it is hard to cure.

size40:
Even here in Rivers state, my state. Our traditional rulers, chiefs, opinion leaders, youth leaders etc have urged everybody to ignore Radio Biafra. That they are not real. That they want to use Radio Biafra to start another civil war as they did in the sixties in other to steal our oil wealth which was why they went into war against the Nigerian govt. That we should never identify with them. We should never allow them hoist their flags in any part of Rivers state.

Your so called Oil wealth is already being stolen. It has been stolen for the last 45 years since the war ended. It's just some of you in the SS don't realise it yet. Where do you think they got the money to build the "Wonderland" called Abuja? I like what Radio Biafra are doing. It is gathering ever increasing support from both local and international listeners. Anything that will bring us Igbos freedom and self rule from this fraud of a nation called Nigeria is welcome. The march to Biafra is on! And soon we shall get to the promised land.

All Hail Biafra

I JUST PURCHASED A NISSAN PRIMERA ON EBAY, THE CAR IS VERY CLEAN AND CHEAP WITH LOW MILEAGE.... EBAY ROCKS.............

Hello Chiamaka. I'm interested in either a Nissan primera, Toyota Avensis or a Peugeot 206 . All of them 2000 to 2005 models. Can you tell me what the average cost these cars in a fairly used state + the cost of shipping and clearing from LA to Lagos or Portharcourt?

Oh now u know Niger Delta is made up of 20 Tribe, So nw u know Asari or I jaw people alone can't speak 4 we SS, So if I may ask Who do u consult b4 taggin d entire SS part of ur Biafra,


Does an Edo man okay with tat ?, Or D ibbibio ? , Or d ESan ?, Or d Isoko ?, Who do u consult

Keep deceiving urself, we sha see

Don't hype your self. The south-South is just a term used for convenience of speech. Edo,Esan and Isoko are not part of the Biafran agenda. The people who matter to us are the Delta-Igbos.

mulattoclaro:
shut up and get lost if you have nothing to say. How dare you speak to my fellow south south brother like that? You dey craze? We from south south say no to your biafra. You don't speak for us.

You people make me laugh. Your South-South brother? Is South-South a tribe? South/South is just something Abacha came up with. You now have a brother because of a name used by Abacha? When you people talk about South-South, talk about your tribe. Nothing connects an Ibibio man and Itshekiri man. South-South my a$$.

owobokiri:
In the 60s, the igbos after a series of well orchestrated campaign of calumny/violence directed against them by the rest of the majority tribes in Nigeria, asked for the loosening up of the Nigerian federation, the same way Indians and the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis sat down and worked out seperate unions, but this noble idea was ruthlessly stone-walled by the rest of Nigeria. Rather than chart a course of peace, Gowon and his brothers in genocide unleashed a genocidal campaign basically to cleanse the Biafran enclave of any indigenous ethnic grouping. Biafra didn't ask for war. Biafra wasn't interested in war. War was forced on an unprepared Biafra and the butchery tha followed has become an infamous badge of honour worn with glee and expressed whimsically with taunts by these groups whose only stake in the Nigerian state is to contineously fashion out ways to loot Biafran resources.

Fast forward to 40 years after that brigandage/carnage, an ideologically placid lawyer, out of his frustrations with the Nigerian states vicious attempts to stunt the developmental strides of his biafran people, started a non violent agitation for the freedom of his people. He was deliberate, painstakenly carefull and very detailed in his peacefull pursuit of this very noble goal. What was Nigerias government reaction to this? Killings, more killings and many more killings. Today, Uwazuruikes peacefull engagement with the Nigerian state over Biafra has become a source of derision towards him as fellow Biafrans and sympathetic nigerians who have always pointed to his grand delusions in thinking that you can peacefully nudge an intoxicated-power drunk king kong back to the part of peace contineously remind him of his follies that have cost a reasonable amount of lives. Biafra has never fought a war with Nigeria per se. Biafra was simply invaded by different powers for obvious reasons. Biafra is now getting set for an inevitable confrontation with the nigerian state and that's where the kanus become even more relevant. Nigeria asked for this.

You said it all. Brilliant write up. As much as I want Biafra to come without firing a shot, the experience of MASSOB and Uwazulike has shown that the only language Nigerians and the Nigerian Government understands is violence. This is the only thing that makes them sit up and pay attention. However, I believe that we should for the sake of diplomacy, make one last concerted demand for a referendum which if declined, we take up arms and enforce our independence. Freedom is one of the very few things in life worth dying for

Rose2014:
I've bn asking why Biafra matter is giving Yorubas high blood pressure but no one seems to have an answer.

Don't U want Igbos out of Lagos again?

I don't understand

You have to understand. Nigeria will not make sense to the Yoruba man If the Igbos and some of the South-South leave. You want to leave them alone with the Northerners?? You mad?? They don't have the back-Bone to face the Northerners alone,they need Igbos who can do it to stay with them in Nigeria.

Don't speak 4 My SS people clown

How dare u think SS re part of ur stupid dream ?, Do u know wat is SS ?, I an itskeri man cant align with igbo, I see D SW as my kinsmen, So stop typing trash Kid

.


Your SS people? What do you mean your by 'your SS people'? The SS is made up of over 20 ethnic groups, which of them is your people? Itshekiris? Speak for your people, don't speak for other ethnic groups in the SS.

I had no idea that a Sharia court can sentence a person to death. It's bad enough that they can have someone's hand chopped off. This is 21st century! What kind of people still chop people hands off or even take a person to court for blasphemy? This is outrageous!!!!!

Joenz:
Dear Op,what is wrong with you guys?y are u guys so blinded with emotions?y d cry all the time?are u d only group in Nigeria?y do u always want things to go your way alone?y are u blackmailing d whole Nigerian state with secession wen u will gladly stay if u are offered d leadership of d country on a platter?You went to war d last time because of d ambition of one man,u av started again by shamelessly attacking other tribes in ur region wen u av legions of ur kinsmen scattered all over d country,if such folks are attacked in retaliation,will genocide,do u take others for fools or what exactly.Ohaneze youths are already treathning war because of Ekweremadu,y do u always view everything from d tribal side?well,u av written beautifully about how Nigeria will not survive another civil war but pls,have u thought that d Igbo tribe might not survive another war?Remember you have made enemies out of every other tribe with your relentless,unprovoked attacks and name-calling.To every action,thr must be a reaction,why not think it through before you declare another war that you can't tell how it will end?Peace out mehnn!

Why do people keep coming up with this daft idea that Igbos went to war because of Ojukwus ambition? It is unfortunate that many people simply don't know what precipitated the war. Nobody wants to mention the over 40,000 easterners that were butchered all across Nigeria, just this alone is enough reason to go to war. Nobody wants mention the Aburi agreement broken by Gowon. Nobody wants to mention that it was Nigeria that fired first on Biafra. The only thing people seem to say is that we fought for Ojukwus ambition? Some people can be very daft indeed.

bakila:
They have a right to secede if they want. Attack Kumuyi from the teachings of Kanu is ethnic hate.

What I heard Kanu say is that Kumuyi should not be touched but that him and his church should be rejected. The attack is not a physical one. As for ethnic hate, we don't need a soothsayer or Kanu to tell us that we have never really liked each other anyway.

Hardheolar:
Are you all ready to face the battle front when the need arises? or you are just clamouring for the disintegration behind keypads?

That's the wrong question. You should have asked why there should be a need to fight and kill each other in other to be together. Probably cheaper to wish each other luck and go our different ways. And to answer, yes I will be very happy to be one of the first on the frontlines ready to defend Biafra.

obailala:
Sometimes I just wonder the kind of utopian dreamland some people live in that make them churn out these Wonderland fairy tales. You just said I should look at the bigger picture yet you have been basing your arguments on illusions and not reality. Can you convince me why I or Emeka or Chibuzor or Kelechi or any other hardworking Igbo son living and hustling happily outside Igboland should make such huge economic sacrifice at this very time all just to satisfy the greed of a few political elite?... Why exactly should I make this sacrifice?...

You just live in a fantasy world and assume all our problems would be solved when we change our name to Biafra. You tried to assure me that because Biafra would be a part of ECOWAS, then I can move around freely without a passport. Is it not in this same country that Lagos state deported destitute non-indigenes and then you think that cannot happen when we impose an international border?... Is it not within this same country that Akwa-Ibom, Anambra and Rivers States deported non-indigenes?.... Was Ghana not a part of ECOWAS when a democratic Nigeria deported millions of Ghanaians in the 'Ghana-Must-Go' saga?... Is Niger Republic not a member of ECOWAS, yet every now and then, we deport their destitute?

With the present Igbo-phobia prevalent in Nigeria (which is obviously fuelled by some of our unnecessary SUPERIORITY COMPLEX), do you think other Nigerian ethnic groups (including the Ijaws) are very happy with Igbos?... With the prevailing Igbo phobia, if you are still 100% sure that Nigeria would be very friendly and cordial with Igbos even after we forcefully break away to form Biafra, then you must be living in a fantasy world called 'Wonderland.'

I maintain and I will continue to maintain that the problem of Igbos is a lack of good leaders. There is absolutely no zone in Nigeria that is not as marginalised as the SE and we need to stop this paranoid attitude of always feeling Igbos are most marginalised. If only we could still have visionary and patriotic leaders like Dee Sam Mbakwe, SE Nigeria would have been much more developed than it is today even with the unitary central government we practice today. What we presently need to progress in the SE is true federalism and the regional autonomy. In the late 60's, Biafran secession was a good idea considering the pogrom, but seceding and forming a new country now in 2015 would be too detrimental to our existence at this point in time.

There isn't any need for this long arguments about the pros and cons of the Igbo splitting from Nigeria. The basic thing you should know is that like any marriage, any party has the God given right to ask for a divorce, and walk away at any time. Even a marriage has legality because it is entered into by consenting people who sign to before an instrument recognised by law. Nigeria on the other hand has no legality or legitimacy because unconsenting people were forced into it against their will and by a white man. Thus, if it is the wish of the majority of any of the federating people of Nigeria such as Igbos to leave the union for whatever reason. You must respect their wish. And if they are willlfully stopped from exercising their right to leave, you must respect their right to take up arms to enforce their departure.
