Because of the short term thinking of most one Nigerianists, majority of them will either ignore or never understand this.

Any remaining patriotism that igbos developed or had for Nigeria after the bloody civil war has been lost. This Nnamdi Kanu incident has reinforced to a lot of Igbos their true place in Nigeria which is a conquered people whose participation in the Nigerian affairs is only as result of a literal and figurative gun pointed to their heads.


The older generations that experienced the civil war are the appeasement generation. They have taken so much pain and humailiation in order not to ruffle feathers with the status quo.

The younger generation will never do that. This will not happen. Igbos hate to be slaves. They will never accept it. Especially this generation. Nnamdi Kanu is just the beginning of what's waiting for Nigeria. Things will only get worse from here on.

This is all I will say. If anything happens to Nnamdi Kanu or his family, I will the militancy of BSS with my finances. There are millions of us that will do the same. Nigeria is about to move this to the next level.

Good move. What does LG chairmanship do anyway?

willibounce1:
lol...another ipod criminal attache by fire by force...SE/SS barrawo. Will you guys die if you don't add SS to you fraud?

You have lost with your expired propaganda. Nnamdi Kanu has destroyed it forever. Lol

I feel your pain.

Opakan2:
Another Liepob.. they dwell on lies to survive

Why must you lump yourself up with SS (Oil rich region). Aren't you proud of your igbo roots?

Rivers people have rejected igbos and biafra.. same with Benue and other minorities you want to put under biafra and dominate. Your plans have failed.

Noone will play second fiddle to anyone again in this century. It's against all international & human right laws.. Better get that into your skull and worry for your fellow igbos.
Nonsense!

Ok we have heard you. Next

Op igbos take the heat for the rest of the south south because we are the largest group, we go everywhere, and we speak boldly and truthfully to power.

The non igbos in the south south need to realize that the oils wells that they are using scare them against the igbos is already owned by the north and west and that its fast becoming worthless.

Igbos will leave this cesspit with or without the south south minorities. If you decide to stay behind, that is your business but igbos will leave this country. We are fed up.

victorDanladi:

If you like call yourself Nri or ojukwu from southsouth who cares

I literally responded to your falsehood and you are telling me you don't care. So your agenda is to continue your lies uninterrupted? Abi?

victorDanladi:

And what is SE doing to Southsouth?


Attach and rule
Attach and drink oil
Attach and steal port Harcourt or declare it no mans land

They day you remove all the Igbo clans in the phantom south south your evil government created is the day igbos will never mention south south. But as long as 2/5 of Igbo land and population lies in the south south geopolitical arrangement, then south east will always involve the south south.

Before you say any nonsense, I am an Igbo man from the south south.

Let's be honest, Ojukwu's family has some jealousy towards Nnamdi Kanu. They are worried that his meteoric rise would make their status and opinions insignificant in igboland. Now it looks like they are the ones embracing Nigeria and holding onto its politics.

He need to pick up the phone and call Nnamdi Kanu directly to discuss instead of the subliminal jabs he has been giving Nnamdi Kanu in newspaper interviews.

Ngozi123:


Excellent post. This sums up perfectly the average Igbo-haters perception of the 'good' Igbo vs the 'bad' Igbo. I wish I could give this post 1000 likes.

Even here on nairaland, the igbos they cheer and clap for are the few lost ones that say they hate Biafra and fraudgeria.

Now uwazurike has suddenly become their hero because of his betrayal and feud with Nnamdi Kanu. But they spent many years denigrating Uwazurike before Nnamdi Kanu came.

Impressive

This government knows that they only way to turn out crowds is to pay them. This has always been the case in Nigerian politics. That's why they envy Nnamdi Kanu who people travel from thousands of kilometers away to come see without being paid.


Amnesty international busted them this year when they sent an undercover journalist to take pictures of payment to protesters that were harassing them for 1 week.

Ikechuob:
I would say this as someone who in the past fell under the same the description of the "LagosIan igbo" excluding the boosting and forming nonsense. Although i was not born and raised in Lagos Thank God, In the past, I would consider my opinion of Igbos as exactly what pazienza described it "igbophobic". In the past I used to accused igbos as having a persecution complex; I was one of the biggest antagonist towards massob; I used to denigrate igbos, other "pro-nigeria" to mock and insult igbo community which today I'm ashamed of and wonder the level of stupidity and low self esteem I had. Nowadays I realized that every insult and degradation I gave towards igbos was something fed to me by the Nigerian environment.

OP you say you don't understand how the Igbo Americans exhibit more igbo pride than the ones born and raised in Lagos especially since the LagosIan born igbo are closer to core igbo than the American born igbo. I think two of the commenter hit it right in the head with their answer. It's matter of Psychology. The Nigerian environment or rather the Yoruba controlled media since the misery of this country existence have done nothing but denigerate igbos and try every way, shape or form to destroy igbo reputation. The media controls the psyche/opinion people have of a group. For example: world wide the opinion of African Americans are negative. Why? Because in the media they are portrayed as thugs, criminals, among other things while their females are protrayed as sluts, trashy, ghetto. Even within the American community, the media has morphed the mind of its citizens that anything good is white and anything bad is blacks/Latinos that even within that country black Americans have the least favorable opinions of non blacks. Even Africans in America carry that opinion of them based solely on how the black Americans are portrayed. Those of us, non black Americans, that lived and grew up around them see the real image of black Americans that yes they have the ghetto, thuggish set but even within those ghetto there are multitudes that aren't anything like what the media portrays. Meaning we see the real image of African Americans, not what the media protrays. But in the African American community, they have what they call "coons". The coons are usually black Americans who denigerate their own community, belittled their own people and sees nothing good within the African American community despite being African-Americans themselves. Majority, not all, of the coons in America are either raised in a white family (adopted) or white dominated neighborhood and went to predominately white dominated schools.

Now why am I talking about AA? What you all just described about the igbo born and raised in LAGOS is the same exact sceanario. The coons within the African American community are raised within the community who have hatred towards black Americans and long since been trying to destroy that community anyway they can. All those coons are segerated from their people so the images/opinions/stories of their people they get is that of the whites. Therefore, creating a self hatred amongst them in which they manifest towards their own people in effort to get accepted and prove they are better than the image being protrayed. The same with igbos in Lagos. They are flat out in a community that despise igbos and segregated from their own community therefore the images/opinions/stories they get is that of the yoruba thus, creating a self hatred in which they manifest to other igbos in order to get that "you're enlightened igbo nigerian" acceptance from the yoruba and the so called "one Nigeria".

Now before you say that the scenario are not the same..ask yourself this. The description I just gave you on how the American media protray AA men and women is it not the same as the description the yoruba control media protray igbo men and women? Let's use Evans for example. Recall when he was caught, please inform me again, was there not overly excessive media coverage of him? I don't even live in Nigeria and I literally saw the glimpse of the overly excessive coverage on FB. The amount of media coverage I kept seeing getting circulated was ridiculous. I said if it was that much on FB imagine the amount it was down there in Nigeria. Now when the Badoo gangs were caught, did they get the same media coverage despite their act was in my opinion worse? Heck nairaland is a perfect example of what I speak. Drug trafficking articles are bumped up and plasted on FP compared to ritualism articles even though there are more ritualistic articles posted on NL. Hell the video of Nnamdi Kanu supposedly calling igbo prostitute was rushed to the front page. The ones of adeyinka grandson calling yoruba women prostitutes was deleted. Since I thought it was prejudice of them closing it, I reopened the thread and yet again it was deleted and I was banned. Which equally tells me the first person that brought that post here and his thread was deleted was very likely banned as well. Another example; i know exactly why Nigeria is hated world wide. I live aboard and I've heard it directly from the mouth of many. Nigerians are hated for 1.) Their boastful nature and 2.) The biggest reason 419/scam. You're hated in Asia and SA for drug trafficking but everywhere else you're hated for scams. Which group dominate drug trafficking and which group dominate 419? Now ask yourself which crime is the one being protrayed as why you're hated by your media. Heck I bet you none of you lots are aware that your SE have actually the least crime rate in that your country. Infact an independent, non bias as in non Nigerian, company by the name of CLEEN did a study using data from your own government but when your media reported their findings guess what was reported. The only area where SE or rather Enugu scored highest. When the study results were posted on this forum, all the threads were removed. The one I opened on it, it's still open but most of the images not showing anymore. The beauty of it is that it is on Google now so even hidden here, it's not there.
Another thing I bet you very few of una are aware there were more yoruba on FBI most wanted list than igbo but guess who was circulated all over the media of that country? The igbo that made the last. Infact I created a topic on this exact thing and it was ignored.

Why was that so effective? Simple. The removal of history. Take it from me my eyes opened and I saw my earlier past behavior as despicable and a disgraceful when I started reading Nigerian history and definitely the Biafra war history. Our people are clueless on their history thus makes it easier for someone to give them false statements/opinion and they suck it in hook, line and sinker to prove they are "one Nigeria."
Like let's use for example: the statement "igbos are not united", there were less internal conflict in igbo history compared to the other 2 big tribes of Nigeria. Likewise, there are less political thuggish behavior as well as assassination compared to well one tribe. Yet who get the statement "not united". Now ask yourself? How many Igbos now echo that statement?

The igbo in America although are similar to igbo in Lagos in of igbo culture and language, the reason they are so proud igbo and would knock out the teeth of anyone that denigerate igbo is because unlike the igbo in Lagos, they are not around Nigeria media. Very few of them follow anything happening in Nigeria thus that psychological warfare isn't happen thus, no self hatred. That's why igbos in diaspora are pro biafra and pro Nnamdi kanu. Infact I went to an igbo event for youths and the entire discussion was about biafra despite the fact the reaaon for event was not even supposed to be about biafra.

Don't get me wrong I don't blame yoruba for it. I mean hey they control the news of that country so obviously they'll use it for their advantage. So you can't blame them for that. I blame the parents of those igbo Lagos. They allowed their defeatist attitude give leeway for self hatred amongst their children. Like I always said I personally personally believe biafra history and Nigeria history should be mandatory for every igbo child. When their eyes are open, what you see and complain about won't be there. Heck if not I just read the igbos in Lagos speaks yoruba, I would have never known that. I've met several here that were born and raised in Lagos and I've never heard them speak yoruba even amongst themselves. Some are even part of Biafra ing groups here. Rather than pitying and looking at them is disgrace, you should educate. That's all you need to do is start educating them. You fight psychology with psychology, not disdain

God bless you.

There is a difference between of IPOB and ers of IPOB. Just like you have of a football club and ers of a football club.

IPOB Keeps a list of all their in each zone because those are the people that donate and fund the organization.

But a er can go to any market in the east and buy IPOB cap and shirt but that doesn't make them automatically a member.

Lastly, the IPOB paraphernalia could have been planted there by the police for propaganda.

Op What has your Nigerian government done for benue? News came out yesterday that the Benue IDP camp had been turned into prostitution camp. So many women will have bastards in 9 months that will end up the streets in the future to become a burden to Nigeria.

Both your Nigerian soldiers and random men are fu..cking these helpless women and young girls.

This s is not a race. This is a marathon. Whom ever have endurance and perseverance will win.

I have always said the above since 2015 even before Nnamdi Kanu was arrested.

Here is my opinion. There are igbos who have made it big in Nigeria. They have attained great successes inspite of the dysfunctional system Nigeria has. Some of them have gotten comfortable in that system because they made it. A lot of these igbos live in Lagos and some of them see Biafra agitation as the excuse Nigerian people and government will use to steal and destroy their hard earn wealth; their sweat and blood. So these people understandably are against Biafra even though they know that what Nnamdi Kanu is saying is true.

The goal for IPOB is to get the the international community involved through sanctioning Nigeria if they try to plunder people's wealth after Biafra referendum. IPOB still has a lot of work to do.

EzeCanada:
The statement that "Igbo Lagosians are problematic and ignorant to Igbo nation" sounded stereotypical to me and believing this to be so looks fallacious.  According to your analogy, I should be considered an Igbo Lagosian being born and raised in the heart of Lagos. However, contrary to your postulation, I am one of the greatest advocate and champion of Igbo agenda, course and culture at home and particularly in the diaspora. Being a Lagos breed never shaped my thought process negatively.

Here are few questions to consider however:

1. Is it no longer a fact that ndi Igbo are republican in nature?

2.  Are political views and opinion of Igbo political, traditional, religious, social, opinion leaders; elites and mases at home divided or unified? Use the Mazi Nnamdi Kalu declaration of "No referendum No election"  as a case study.

3. While mulling on Q2. reflect on the opinion of the following individuals on the issue raised in Q2 based on the classification in Q2 and mirror it against your declaration. 1. Ekweremadu 2. The so called South East Governors, 3. Igbo legislators 4. Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo leadership 5. The Obi of Onitsha who happens to be the leader of South East traditional rulers 6. Rev. Mbaka 7. Charles Oputa aka Charlie boy. 7. Anambra Lawyer Association ...just to mention a few.
Are the views of the listed individuals or group converging or divergent. Is it any different from the so called Igbo Lagosians subgroup?

4. What city has the largest concentation of Ndi Igbo outside Igbo land....Lagos peharps?

5. If we both agree it is Lagos. Is it not logical to expect that the number of ndi Igbo with divergent opinion would also be highest in number considering Lagos has the largest non-Igbo state population?

6. Have you ever looked at this issue as a failure in leadership? Past Igbo leaders lacked foresight and ought to have involved themselves in massive educational, empowerment and  awareness campaigns in Igbo communities outside Igbo land.

Otherwise beside Nnamdi Kanu is doing now, do you have any record where a renouned Igbo leader or group of leaders ever involved himself/herself/themselves in sanitization or political emancipation of ndi Igbo resident in Lagos through any known awareness campaign?

7. Hope this answers your question to some extent?

Nice intelligent response but I totally understand where the op is coming from.

This is just another Fraudgerian attention seeking thread.

Dillusionist:

Jesus Christ!!aren't you guys tired of this show of low esteem..gosh! !why not create a thread on how Oduduwa can be free??

They don't realize how much damage they have done to their people by focusing so much on Biafra. Don't worry Biafra will come and no amount of epistles will stop it.

Yet Another thread on Biafra

And at the end of the long grammar Biafra must come.

Nothing can convince me to change my mind about Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu please fire on.

IPOB started with facebook.

Today they have:

Radio Biafra
News papers
Tv station
Online forum like nairaland
Twitter
hip in UN and other international organizations
Different zones in the south east and south south
Different groups In over 80 countries

They understand how to deal with lying the zoo media.

etebefia:
I was born into this country with the following notions:
1. Igbos don't go to school
2. Igbos like money too much
3. Igbos are not united and don't love themselves
4. Igbos don't have capable hands to lead Nigeria
5. Igbos are just the southeasterners
6. Igbos want south-southeast oil
7. Most Igbos do don't want biafra, it's just few of them shouting biafra

I grew up to discover the following:
1. Igbos are actually leading in education in Nigeria (most educated and highest number if school goers)
2. All human beings like money, thus the Bible confirms that money is the root of all evils (abacha, babangida, initial, atiku, buhari, obasanjo are not igbos, these are evidently the most current and money lovers in Nigeria)
3. Igbos are actually the most united in Nigeria, they fight in oneness, they have unique voting pattern, they can actually die for one of their own e.g kanu)
4. Igbos actually have the best hands to lead Nigeria, eg. The south east are leading in virtually all aspects of the economy - commerce, healthcare, education, etc)
5. Igbos spreads across south east to South South
6. Igbos are not even so much in oil business, they are more in transportation, manufacturing, importation etc, there is no significant presence of the igbos in oil business, Ifeanyi Uba is just recent in the business.
7. Most Igbos want biafra.

GBAM!!!!

Op this is the type of injustices Nnamdi Kanu has been screaming about for years starting from radiobiafra.

The non Igbo niger delta minorities need to put their igbophobia daily diet aside and open their eyes to see the historical and monumental injustice that their people are going through.

If not, your future generations will remain in bondage and will hate you all when they realize how myopic most of you guys are.

Tkester:


Bros did Aipac Nigeria during the war? Because I was told Israel was on our side

No they didn't Nigeria but they were indifferent as they saw no need to be involvedat that time. The state of Israel was also under attack the same time Biafra war was happening and America was involved in the Vietnamese war.

igwebuike01:

Where did Lugard come from? Is he from Enugu, or Kano or Ibadan?

Don't mind him. He is the real clown.

Kazim88:
BIAFRA is a very emotional subject in Europe... they felt guilty of that genocidal civil war...

The awareness is actually drawing lots of international ...

Nigeria is over.

When a lot of westerners look into Biafra including British citizens, they realize that the mess up big time ing Nigeria to commit genocide. Israeli lobby group in US know as AIPAC wrote a letter about their regrets.

captleonerd:
I'm not in of killing unarmed protesters but the west can't decide our faith for us. we are a country of 200m people. the humanitarian crisis will overwhelm Africa!!!

Contradiction at display
But a Western man in his bedroom declared you a sovereign nation by fiat. your so called sovereign nation is a product of the west.
