Timbuktou:
Of course, Nigeria is worth dying for. The question is, how many of you deserve to be Nigerians.

I and Millions of others clearly dont deserve to be Nigerians thats why we are asking politely to remove our undeserving land from the deserving.

This report contradicted itself. You say places were open but streets were empty. It sounds exactly like people stayed home.

Nigerian Gutter journalism.

blues20:
Ebonyans don't subscribe to the ideology of IPOB. I'm from Ebonyi state, and I can tell you that IPOB have very few in Ebonyi. I'm all for self-determination, but IPOB need to modify their strategy to gain more convert.

Oga that news is fake. its your choice to believe it. IPOB at this point is the most active liberation movement for biafra. Massob and the rest are also trying but are not as proactive as IPOB.


IPOB will only refine their means as time goes on.

IPOB just conducted an unofficial referendum without Nigerians knowing it.

bump

Xtopher123:


A common interest? I think it's 50-50, and the only reason people would begin to consider having a sovereign state is if the government refuses to practice through federalism..

Don't you think if we channeled all the efforts used for protesting or calling for a sovereign state is used for the call of through federalism we won't achieve that?

The north dominates the executive, legislative and Judiciary and even military. They have made it clear that they are not interested in True Federalism. Please be realistic in your assertions.

Xtopher123:


Yeah the call for true federalism I , also I share with your fears of having such a huge experiment - let's take a cue from Nigeria, we've had Independence (literally) for over 50yrs and still yet we've not learnt to manage our Resources, how sure are we that such wouldn't be the case if Biafra comes to be?

If you ignore nairaland for one day and read the Biafran charter by the Biafran government in exile, Resource control and true federalism is fully ingrained in the proposed constitution. please do your research. Each Biafran province will run their own affairs in line with the federal constitution.

Xtopher123:


Lets assume the president's statement was an oversight, but then Independence day is close by and the same People who claimed to be offended by such Statement would come out to and pledge..

Is that not hypocrisy?

That will be hypocrisy indeed but what sane and rational individual will IPOB one day and celebrate Nigerian independence on another day? Do you think ing IPOB is something people just do for fun. It is a tough decision and anybody who has come to that point of ing the Resistance has made up their mind about Nigeria.

IPOB never made such a comment. This is the classical divide and rule..Nice try.

eki2000:
Akwa Ibom and cross river states are not part of this show of shame. I Believe my brother states sush as Edo, Rivers, Delta And Bayelsa are doing same. I would rather die a Nigerian if i can't get a Niger Delta State. We cannot trust Igbo people.

Nigerian military has been recruiting since last year and still have a manpower shortage, why haven't you signed up?

Xtopher123:


In as much as I agree with someone of your valid point, but then "A Supposed Biafran" was at the helm of affairs for 6 years and still he couldn't change the course as to what the bolded text specified, and don't you think it'll still be the same story when this said independence is granted?

For your information:

Nnamdi Kanu has been there since 2009. He was a very Harsh critic of GEJ. It is on record. But GEJ was smart enough to leave him alone. But Buhari on the other hand justified everything Nnamdi Kanu has been saying by making the 97% vs 5% comment after the election. Nnamdi kanu smartly capitalized on it as evidence of whats to come for Igbos. Frankly speaking, he was right.

Jalinco:
I thank all our brothers who complied with stay at home orders, the next step now is:
Tie rope to your neck and hang yourself, make sure your leg is not touching the ground
Thank you comrades

You sound frustrated. I think you are the one that need the rope around your neck. Make sure its anchored well.

Ksslib:
I see some mad fellows here mentioning some states in the Niger Delta Region. Are you crazy?

Keep south-south out of your struggle. We are not biafrans, will never be, and have nothing to do with your struggle. Kapish

Are you the King of so called south south to make such declaration online? How much power do you have in real life to make any impact...lol

Alcatraz003:


Mr emancipation, i saw your earlier post where you claimed that i have been making sarcastic comments on the biafra struggle.

The truth is that even the Igbos themselve know that of the three major groups, they are of less significance and this is the major cause of the agitation. There is no point adding salt to the wounds of Igbos by overstating this. We have crossed that bridge. Where we are now is the processes and modalities for the actualization of biafra. Any other thing is a distraction.

Majority of yorubas sympathise with the igbos and wish you success on your quest.

Igbos are not less significant in any shape or form. God forbid. They have succeeded as a group under circumstances that most other Nigerian groups will become extinct. They have gained political power in all Merit based societies in the West. Because igbo masses refuse to bend over for the Hausa-fulani oligarchy doesnt mean that they are not good in politics. In the East, Igbos are their own government and do almost everything for themelves without any political favors. Thats why the need for political seat is less because the average person dont depend on Government for anything.


As for your claim that majority of Yorubas sympathize with Igbos agitation, It is just simply a BIg LIE. Have you seen comments on Nairaland, facebook, twitter, comment sections of online news etc. Yorubas are the most resistant to the biafran movement. Even start from this thread.

Idrismusty97:
They thought they are making some impact, If not for Nairaland i wouldn't even know. They can continue sitting.... Life goes on for the rest of Nigeria. That's was how they brag about the protest, any unsuspecting Nairalanders will think it is the end of the world. But slowly and surely they creep back to their shops, to normal business and life goes on .

You are not their target audience obviously....The people that matter are sitting at home. no need for attention seeking comments.

Lucaz:
[s] no tribe in Nigeria is cool with the igbo's, even your closes neighbour from the south south ain't

Stop deceiving yourself



have fun

Thats even more reason to biafrans to leave. Dont you thinks so?

HurtgenForest:


What sacrifice has the yoruba made to free them from slavery to the hausa/fulani in Nigeria? None because of cowardice.

yorubas are eternal slaves to the fulani-Olu Falae.

Stop trying to feel among by tagging your along with the hausa fulani because yorubas are their slaves. The fulanis have taken ilorin from yorubas and have threatened to take Offa as well should Nigeria break today. The fulani recently also told the whole world that they need Lagos more than they need the Niger Delta and this is simple; Lagos is their access to the sea.

Honestly I would like to see how things play out if this much talked about war breaks out because I am sure that lagos will be forcefully plucked out from the hands of the yorubas who will all flee into Cotonou as refugees.

Don't feel for our children, feel for your own children that will continue to service the hausa/fulani.

awolowo was a betrayer and back stabber and ended up committing suicide by taking rat poison when his northern master were about to send him to prison again.

After dealing with awolowo, they gave special tea to your aere onakakanfo to drink as well and also sent his wife to the afterlife.

northerners used benjamin adekunle and after that disgraced him from the army and the guy was struggling to servive, begging for contracts to feed. His children were begging for money to send him to Ghana for medical treatment, ordinary Ghana here not even USA, or UK.

awolowo was used during the war only to be deni9ed presidency and was about to be imprisoned by the same northerners for a second time before he committed suided.

selah.

Knock out

How many of these nairaland keyboard warriors talking trash can die for One Nigeria?

mrvitalis:

We igbos are not used to politics that's the truth... it is not our thing.. . And we are very protective and suspicious of our selfs that's what lead to hatred and feeling of marginalization.. . We have the numbers and the brain but lack the figure head to pull us together
Nnamdi Kanu has that chance.. . Form a political party of the igbos.. rule ur state well and become the leader of ibos. .. Rochas once had that chance to but it is gone

You are not Igbo. Stop making a fool of yourself. " We Igbo this or We Igbo that" in every comment you make.Who are you trying to convince?

The same magazine that helped him come to power after destroying GEJ image.

attackgat:


This story is why you should have rejected the notion of 'one Nigeria'. How can someone call you "Brother" but will come to your land, take over everything, rape your women, forcibly marry some off and the person will tell you he is doing this because he wants to be "one" with you? This is the same way that Lord Lugard came to West Africa to create 'Nigeria'. It is the same way Nigeria has been kept together for 102 years. So the Biafran agitators are right to demand a separate existence from Nigeria just as their forefather were before Lugard came. It is a sorry story, I have heard many like it about war time attrocities. But it all points to the fact the freedom is one of the few things in life worth fighting for.

EXACTLY

Alcatraz003:


I reckon you are a yoruba like me. What is your business with these people? If you were igbo, would you be happy? You cant beat a child and tell him not to cry.

The vast majority of yorubas them albeit quietly so you better shut your mouth and let them be. Useless slavemaster!

I have been reading your sarcastic comments on various threads. Your insult is noted but has absolutely no impact on the struggle.

Efewestern:
Everything looks okay here in Warri, Delta, Only heard of this seat at home On NL.. Well I hope buhari atrend to this igbo agitation , They are been marginalized to be sincere.

When was Warri ever part of IPOB territory? I dont ever IPOB adding Warri to to proposed Biafra.

So abuja is now part of Biafran territory?

NO

The Bottom Line is that Majority of the oil and Gas producing wells is out of reach for lagos government. We as Nigerians will share the profit from Kano to Calabar.


This is pure Karma unless you fight for resource control

Izonpikin:
not knowing that lagos one day would have to benefit...you see ehn..when God wan punish people na so e dey be...they thought marginalising the niger delta was to punish us not knowing that it was going to shoot them in the feet...

At least soon the niger delta would have neighbors who would be ready to fight for resource control and reforms in the oil and gas sector...bills like the PIB would be fully followed up by the south westerners... ...

them never see anything yet...

Exactly, the God of the Niger deltans and the oppressed will continue to fight their battles. its just a matter of time and Karma will catch them one by one.
