He’s right. After the violence IPOB has dished out on its own people I will be surprised if the Igbos vote for them. It only shows the kind of government they will form. A government that kills its own.

Yes majority of Igbos would prefer a Nigeria run with equity, fairness and justice to guarantee prosperity and security for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion.


But unfortunately, many Nigerians who feel they come from a tribe or region that the destroyed corrupt system of Nigeria is favoring prefer it as it is today not minding how bad it is for others.


There are ways to make Nigeria work for all Nigerians if you Arewa people would allow it.


First, make Presidency rotational among the 6 Geopolitical zones of Nigeria.


Secondly, complete Southeast Region 6 states for justice and equity to reign.

Thirdly, allow State Police to take effect.

Fourthly, make real-time transmission of polling unit result of every election in Nigeria a must do by INEC, and make the iREV portal a part of our election result collation.


Do these little things and see how it will make great positive impact on Nigeria's progress, unity and development.


But if you insist on doing things the old ways and still expect Nigeria to remain one nation forever is nothing but self delusion

Referendum is just like an election which needs persuading people and also spend to motivate people.

The South East politicians would outsmart the Ipob in of money and logistics.

As a Biafran, I tell you from the depth of my heart that you are wrong. Forget the media white wash. It is in the blood. You don't even need to be persuaded. At least I have lived in Nigeria for forty something years and have seen things for myself. I already have a choice from past experiences. And so are many Igbo adults today.

It's been 3 yrs and counting with your courts unable to pin him on a single allegation. Some of them discharged and fined the Nigerian government for damages against him running into millions of naira. I guess you as a person know the law better than the different judges that rendered those judgement in his favour.
Cases are not dealt by emotions especially whether you like a person or not rather, it is based on the dictates and technicalities of the law of a country and other organizations the country belongs to like UN. If it was emotion based, the death you wish him would also be upon you because we don't like you and WILL hunt you too. Therefore, it best you stick to the law and let justice run its course.
You mean the same court that you lots said was bribed against Obi? You now know cases are not dealt with by emotions but your people want the judges to declare obi president based on twitter votes. You people are so delusional

oga only poor igbos are shouting biafra

U don ever see obi cubana jowizaza chiefpriest n all others shout biafra

It is poor people who can’t make it in Nigeria that believe they can make it biafra that are making noise

Yes it is the poor people

Impoverise them and stigmatize them for beign poor - your Nigerian way

Everybody cannot be not rich

Meanwhile it is the very rich Biafrans were the ones funding the movement globally and not the poor people around the corner

Don't scorn at the poor, this fight is for them

Better not deceive yourself. It is better for Igbos to deal with fewer criminals than to face them including Fulani herdsmen,bandits and other social pressure from being an Igbo man in today's NIGERIA

I can understand Ibos wanting to break away and have their own country ... Biafra ... before the sit at home. But one has to be foolish or have something to gain personally to breaking away now after seeing and experiencing what their intended military has unleashed on them ... and they are not even yet in power. Isn't this same Kanu... their intended leader the one that was issuing Biafran ports?...that he claimed were already being accepted by certain countries? .. and urged people to get them while easily available? These people that were scammed ... the ones who suffered economic loss due to the sit at home .. the ones who lost loved ones due to enforcement of sit at home... the majority that live in fear of their future istration that is this oppressive when they don't have full power ... what will happen if they do? The majority couldn't be so foolish to vote in favour of being a State.

This Northerner is deluded. He thinks this is about IPOB? This is about if Igbos prefer independence over belonging to Nigeria

Does anyone really think that Igbos would -up a once in a life time opportunity to get their independence and freedom in a referendum, so as to belong to the long failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria?

Everyone knows the answer tonthst one

You don't know what you are saying. The xenophobia they are facing in South Africa, India, Kenya, indonesia ...Are those places part of Nigeria?

It is not as if your people will leave lagos anyway even after Biafra. They will constitute nuisance as usual and when we also start shouting that BIAFRANS MUST GO, they will start another tune that Africans don't like themselves.

Igbo has one major problem . You see yourself as victims everywhere whereas you are the ones trying to take advantage of everyone. Look inward first .

None of these things you mentioned will make Nigeria work. What sets us apart is far bigger than what brings us together

Foolish statement. Yoruba were bought by their own son? You guys are so delusional. You voted for your son, it is because you were not bought. Yoruba did the same, it is because they were bought. This is the beginning of madness

You are not updated at all. Is it the Judiciary that is asking that Kanu should settle with NIGERIAN government out of court. This case is beyond what they are telling you guys. Ask yourself, why haven't they sentence Nnamdi since years of court case. Even if 10 years imprisonment, they can't give him. Think

go ahead and fight to get biafra from people that have bigger guns than you....

That's why the black man is backwards

The white man came from Europe to rain bullets on your ancestors, using bigger guns, so as to create Nigeria

Now it is you the African that wants to rain bullets on your selves, using bigger guns, so as to keep the same Nigeria created by the white man

It's a double tragedy

You've been corrected for over a decade on spelling Igbo correctly yet you persist in defiance and disregard to our correct name. In turn, I'll refer to your people as yeribas.
The year in year out arguments tells you that Nigeria is stagnant politically while socially and economically,she has degenerated to the lowest levels. The people of Nigeria have become increasingly damaged mentally because of the failure of Nigeria. The result is increased poverty, educational degeneration, social and religious degradation with majority increasingly becoming hopeless. This is the key reason behind most Nigerians running away from Nigeria with many having damaged mindsets. Expect more protest against Nigerians from other countries as the years go until Nigeria is divided and the new countries work on themselves to better themselves.
Nigeria can't be worked on for obvious reasons. I've been consistent about this for over a decade. Your Nigeria is set for division in less than ten years from now.
