Now I see u are not smart,guess u are one of those kids on NL that knows nothing,I pray you get your Biafra and you will see the shocker that will follow

I pray we Igbos get Biafra too,there's no shocker we can see in Biafra we haven't seen in the British inspired fraud called Nigeria. Millions dead,massive corruption,infrastructural decay on a massive level and political brigandage. A shocker in Biafra might even be a welcome change.

babadee1:
You won't need a visa to travel but you will need a permit to work and to own businesses. Believe me no serious Igbo person would support Biafra if they knew what was at stake.

What is at stake? The economic and political subjugation of a people who are large enough to form their own country and administer their own affairs? What is at stake here is freedom. Biafra will not be easy at first,but in the long run, it will be well worth it.

The same way you "repatriated" your investments when you were being hunted in the North like wild animals during the military regime. As soon as the dust settled, you crawled back to the North with your tails in between your legs. I like our Northern brothers, they won't take non of your sh1t.

You can praise northern barbarism all you like but those people who retuned do not have a country of there's yet. When we get our country,any Igbo in the north had better have good reason for being there because they will only have themselves to blame.

naijamark:
And if ECOWAS says "sorry, you can't join us, you'll force them to do so? When Scotland wanted to secede with the last year referendum, EU had already told them "sorry guys, you can't join us", this uncertainty further painted a gloomy figure combined with the fact that the rest of UK says they can't use the Pounds.
If Scotland with her vast natural resources will not be accepted into the EU, at least not in the immediate, I don't see any hope for landlocked, resources barren Biafra in the committee of nations.

If ECOWAS refuse us entry,we go it alone. Like I said in my previous post, it might even be a good thing to have all Igbos in Nigeria repatriate their investment back home and help build their country. Scotland was not rejected by the EU. What they were told was that all EU member nations would have ratify their membership before they could join. As for saying that Biafra is barren and land locked. We are strong in solid minerals,Oil and gas and I don't mean the Oil of the South-South. There is oil flowing out of the ground less than 40 miles from house in the village in Anambra. Some of the richest nations in the world have no minerals like Japan and Canada but that didn't stop them. Countries like Austria and Switzerland are landlocked but are richer than Nigeria. With the Oil and sea-port, Nigeria hasn't even moved forward. It is the human potential of a country that makes it great.

Biafra will have a problem
With Niger (For sure)
With Mali (For Sure)
With Guinea (Islamic)
With Senegal (Islamic)
With Gambia (Islamic)
With Ghana (Naija ally on international issues)
With Benin (Yorubaland extension)
With SL & Lib (staunch Nigerian allies)
With Togo (A nation which is itself at the mercy of ghana and Naija)
So, how on earth do you plan to enter?


And you don't expect a country to join Ecowas, if any of the member oppose it.... All members have to agree. Also, is Naija not the country you plan to continue living in, or is it Liberia?... You will be free to go and join Chad, Congo DRC and Central African republic , with their Kings Cameroon and Gabon in the Central Africa union (That is if they allow you in)
Anyways why are we talking in future tense, when biafra will never become reality. I am sure you know that as well as I do.

If the other nations oppose it then we go it alone. It might even be a good thing to have Igbos repatriate their investments back home and join hands to make their country great. As for Biafra becoming a reality, nobody can force any determined group of people who want be free from eventually attaining freedom, it's just a matter of time.

jayfolarin:
Hypocrisy at its peak! OMG!! You guys want nothing to do with other tribes but will stick with them even after your wish for separation is granted?? You cannot smoke your weed and plant it! Be ready for mass exodus to your country if and when biafra comes to life!

Pathetic!!!!

Ghana,Benin Republic and Sierra Leon are members of ECOWAS. They are not Nigerian citizens and have nothing to do with Nigeria but many of them are in Lagos and living there legally the ECOWAS free trade and movement agreement. Have you chased them back? You cannot because you don't have the right. Times have changed and the law is the law.

scholes0:
loool... funny person.
The Member states of ECOWAS will have to approve your entry FIRST before you become a member, which I am sure Nigeria will never allow.
You think any entity can go print a passport and write ECOWAS on it, and then claim to be a member?
It looks to me like you don't know what you are in for.

Of course other member have to ratify Biafra membership but Nigeria is just one country in ECOWAS 15 member nations and Biafra has no problem with the other 14.

bayulll01:
U are in czech abi,wake up this is africa,go and ask the the hate between south sudan and sudan,if u are not dumb u will know more on Xenophobic

Go and read the laws of ECOWAS and stop making noise. The fact that you are African doesnt mean you should break the treaties that Nigeria signed up to.

StBlack1:
Oh mine..

You will be SHOCKED from the treatment that will be meted to you people by Yorubas that very moment you turn Biafrans.

Thats when you will know Africa is not America nor Europe. BET ME, June 12 crisis will be a child's play then if you refuse to succumb to their demands to leave their lands.

Well,if Yorubas turn to that sort of criminality because the Igbos seceded,then that's their shame. It won't be the first time it has happend to Igbos and it won't be the last. I still maintain that in the event of secession,any Biafran or Igbo will have the right to travel and live anywhere in Nigeria he wants without needing a Visa same as the citizens of all 15 countries in west Africa can. That is what the ECOWAS in front of the Nigerian passport is there for.

bayulll01:
Ehn ehn tell me something,you people are the smartest people on earth,u want to secedes and yet you don't want to leave the land you secedes from,we will shoot you at sight if you cross ore awon werey you want to eat your cake and have it same time

Secession doesn't mean I have go anywhere. Czechoslovakia divided into Czech Republic and Republic of Slovakia. Both countries joined the EU and to this day, many Czechs and Slovaks live in either country. None of them had to move anywhere.

naijamark:
You forgot "Ghana must go" so soon.
These are part of ECOWAS but kicked out of Nigeria. Perish the thought of eating your cake and having it.

The Ghana must go episode happend when ECOWAS was still in its infancy and bilateral and free trade/movement treaties had not yet been signed. ECOWAS now has a parliament and strict laws that guide it. All 15 countries in West Africa under ECOWAS are free to travel and live in Nigeria without needing Visas. Biafra,hopefuly will be the 16th country to join ECOWAS.

shamecurls:
You re very funny.... Have you ever asked yourself why a Shengen Visa will not get you into UK ?? Then you will know each country still has a right to its diplomatic relations.

Wake-up

Shengen only affects none EU citizens. I'm talking about citizens of ECOWAS member nations.

PDPmamapiss:
VERY SOON, NOBODY WIlL TAKE IGBO SERIOUS AGAIN. THIS IS GETTING TOO EMBARRASSING..... WHAT HAPPEN TO ANAMBRA, IMO, EBONYI, ENUGU AND ABIA?

THERE IS NO DAY WITHOUT IGBO MAKING DEMAND OR THREAT EITHER AT FEDERAL LEVEL OR LAGOS.... ASABA IS ALREADY A DUMPING GROUND. MANY OF THEM FAKE DELTA STATE OF ORIGIN TO WORK IN DELTA STATE CIVIL SERVICE.

I don't know what cave you are from but the city of Asaba is just as Igbo as the city of Enugu.

backtosender:
If this Biafra can come tomorrow we will be so happy but is coming pray if comes fast...and another thing we are going to destroy all our assets and properties b4 we go so that hungry thieves from SW not loot what they did not own in their life

When Biafra comes, don't really expect Igbos to pack and go, it ain't going to happen. Go and look at your Nigerian passport well and ask what "ECOWAS" engraved in front of it means because you will see that same ECOWAS in front of the Biafran passport. ECOWAS allows anybody in west Africa to travel and live anywhere in west Africa. Any Yoruba man who thinks that Biafra means kicking Igbos out of Lagos and taking over their properties should perish the thought. As a Biafran, I will never need Visa to go anywhere in Nigeria including Lagos.

I laugh when people say Biafra is dead and gone. The trouble with Nigeria is that it is a country built and surviving on a mountain of lies. The people that populate Nigeria never had a say about being Nigerian. My ancestors got up one day and found out that the white man they welcomed into their land had suddenly 'baptised' them with a strange name. For me,what Biafra represents is my right to decide for myself who I am. Historically, nothing connects us Igbos to Yorubas or Hausas. We were all forced to be together against our will. I cannot answer a slave name the White man gave me. The future of Nigeria must be decided in a referendum.

It doesn't matter if Buhari appoints Ogbonnaya Onu as secretary in charge of his cattles, we the people of the lower Niger demand a referendum and an end to this "British invented scam" called Nigeria.

Soreza:
Well am an igbo my dad is from anambra and mum too but from my experience in russia and the way the Russian wants ussr back but can't, all Russians to this day regretted the ussr breakup,for me let Nigeria be One,together we are bigger,most stronger and respected.

We maybe bigger but we are not stronger or more respected and we certainly are not happier. Russia wants the USSR back for the same reasons Yorubas and Hausas want 'one Nigeria, the economic and political subjugation of others. Millions have died for the sake of "project Nigeria" and that project has been a complete faliure. Nigeria was the invention of the White man,now it is time for Afticans to invent their own countries. I'm a proud Igbo man and Biafran.

Biafrans deceiving themselves. See how children were happy when they heard the rebels have been caught

Obviously a staged picture lol. Look at how they turned the newspaper towards the camera so as to get the headline

shachris03:
what about prominent igbo business men? academicians? professionals? just anyone dude.

I'm not talking about a privileged few who are feeding fat off the rot called Nigeria or those who cannot express themselves for fear of victimisation.I'm talkng about the vast majority of the Igbos who are not happy with with the system. Every Nigerian knows that if a referendum is held today,Igbos will vote overwhelmingly to leave Nigeria.

shachris03:
how many prominent igbos have supported your stupidity? just name them dude.

Are you more igbo than Ekwueme? Rochas? Mbadinuju? Mbakwe? Ekweremmadu?

Just name one prominent igbo supporting your cause or shut up forever.

How do you expect an Igbo politician to openly support Biafra? It is not possible to be aspiring for one political position or the other in Nigeria and at the same time, seeking self rule. Both do not go together.

shachris03:
anuofia. I am igbo...a very proud one. Every igbo man must not support your senselessness.

Yes, not all Igbos will support the Biafran cause. However,the ethics of democracy is that it is the will of the majority that counts.

shachris03:
Were your forefathers this rich and progressive before the whiteman? Would you rather go back to the lives of your forefathers before the whitemen? Onye eziri ihe anaghi acho ochichiri.

My fore-fathers were progressive to the level that was available then, it was just a matter of time before they had proper contact with western civilisation. While we appreciate the civilisation the White man brought us, that didn't give them the right to foist a country on us and join us with people we have nothing in common with. That mistake has already been made but the present generation does not have carry on with the mistake of the White man. It is time for us to have our own country and manage our own affairs.

shachris03:
Biafra the land of the rising sun was a country that was ill conceived to fulfil the ambition of one man.

Biafra was born out of bitterness and envy nee jealousy.

The biafran war would always remain the most costly clash of egos the world would ever witness.

The igboman is brave, domineering and independent and would never want to be under any authority 'igbo enweghi eze' But biafra, my people, is not the independence that we seek. For as it is in the animal farm, So shall it be in biafra because it's an Ill thoughtout enclave.

We need fiscal confederation and not some biafra. we need to manage our resources our selves. we need to manage our companies and markets ourselves.

Biafra would never solve our problems. creating more state only made us more distant than we were. giving us our own country would only divide us the more.

I am igbo and I stand for one Nigeria.

join me If you are Nigerian and proud.

If you have "slave mentality" then take it somewhere else. Your fore-fathers survived before the White man came to create Nigeria. Nigeria will never give you fiscal confederation,not now,not ever. This same fiscal confederation was what Ojukwu asked from Gowon and he refused (Gowon actually agreed to this at Aburi then reneged on it) which led to the war. The reason they will never give you a confederation or even regionalism is because this is tantamount to giving your own country and the northerners know that. The choice is to agitate for your own country or to remain a subjugated slave in a Nigeria that has never worked as a nation.

kastonkastrol:
well if you are tired of being identified as a nigerian, simply relocate to Chad or Ghana

Why? Because lord Lugard didn't create them? You're not ashamed of your self that you are answering a slave name a white man gave you and living in country he carved out for you. Colonial mentalist.

wexyee:
because this time Nigerians will not want a single idea of biafra again to live in someone head so guess what.. ? i don't even think dat South east will exists again after another war

So the question is why do we have kill each other in other to be together? Civilised people people would wish each other good luck and go their separate ways.

kastonkastrol:
sharap Jare. Your brother just dropped a heavy lie here that buhari sent some "people" to talk with kanu, I counter his lies and all you could tell me was the same gibberish I already know. Btw who tha _fuck told you a country called biafra exist in Nigeria? You must be really sick

The sick person is someone who believes he has a country because Lord Lugard told him so.

kastonkastrol:
you biafra secessionists should better stop lying abeg.. Swimming in this euphoric biafra dream is silly. When did buhari send anybody to have a talk with your "leader"? Bring a credible source about your lies.

Nobody has anytime for a nonentity(kanu) that calls Nigeria zoo anytime and he himself reside in the same Nigeria.

Nnamdi Kanu is in his homeland Biafra. It is people like you and Lord Lugard that decided to call where he comes from 'Nigeria'. The number of people suffering from colonial mentality on Nairaland is incredible.

wexyee:
i really think radio Biafra is a bad idea.. because of the hate they insight into there fellow listener's.... it is already given igbos a bad name... people are seeing igbos as dark horses. I personally was surprised how full of hate they are when I visit there facebook page. all u see there is insult to either Yoruba or hausa... it's making me wonder is this how they intend to gain freedom?.... what do you think?

Giving us a bad name? With who? Nigerians? That's the whole idea! You do not need the approval of someone you are trying to breakaway from.

helovesme:
The terms of any treaty can be amended at any given time.

UK might be in the EU but that doesn't give permission to a schengen visa holder to enter the UK without a UK visa.

UK is currently considering exiting the EU and there are talks of treaty negotiation and also a referendum to leave the EU.

Greece is also on the verge of being kicked out of the EU.

Not all countries in Europe are parties to EU membership. Many are still waiting to be admitted while others have certain conditions attached to the movement/right to work of their citizens across member states.

If Nigeria has to pull out of ECOWAS to protect its borders and save itself from "immigrants" and refugees (yes, you people will end up going to war with the "Ijaw Nation". Aka. Niger Delta as they would like their oil to themselves with their leaders in full control) from the "biafran republic", then so be it.

The terms of the treaty cannot be ammended to suit just Nigeria. I don't know how Shenzhen comes into this, we are talkng about talking about west African citizens of which Igbos are part of. Shenzhen only affects none European citizens. To control her boarders Nigeria must pull out of ECOWAS and all the trade benefits there. When this happens, Coupled with the fact that Biafra is in place,Nigeria will cease to be a regional power. As for the Igbos and any of the minorities fighting over oil,it will never happen because Biafra will be run under a true federal fiscal policy where every state will get at least 50% of everything accruing on their land. Ijaws will get 50% of their oil money which is something they have no hope of getting in Nigeria. Biafra will emerge as a triumphant nation created by Africans as opposed to Nigeria which is just a white mans invention.

ThisMeansWAR:
and why the fhuck should I do that.?

I blamed those even fought to keep those barbarians from the east with humans in the first place.. They should have let em go.
This time around... NoNobody's hold stop em..

Amen!

ThisMeansWAR:
I don't want Buhari to do anything... Who wants to live with flathe.ads.. Those damned criminal from garbage Island called Biafra

Apparently, you do, because you are not out there campaigning for Biafra.
