dinachi: Your entire write-up is a construct of a myopic slave. Nigeria is a fraud created by the British in their bid to exploit the west Africans. They brought together tribes who should have never been together in the first place. Nigeria has no legitimacy. Nigeria represents the enslavement of the Igbo people and certain minorities in the south-south. There is no such thing as one Nigera. Yes, the present generation probably doesn't know about the effects of war or even ever heard the sound of shelling. This is not an excuse to remain a slave. You have used the history of atrocities committed against Igbos as a reason why Igbos should abandon their God given right to self determination and freedom. If you were not a coward, you have known that those same reasons is why you should advocate for Biafra. The integration you talked about is non existent. Inter-tribal marriage amongst the Igbos and other tribes outside the SS/SE is very very minimal. Probably less than 0.5 % and anyone married to another tribe will still remain a citizen of the future Biafra and their kids will be dual citizens and their spouse will have the right of stay as obtains in other countries. Biafra is about the right to be free, the right to choose if I am Nigerian or not, the right to be heard. I do not need Fredrick Lugard to come from Britain to give me my country or tell me that a Yoruba or Hausa man is my brother. Violent secession is only last resort. Freedom is not cheap. It is purchased in blood. Freedom cost lives. It is highly patronizing of you to come online and tell Igbos to forget their God given right to aspire to their own country just because they will suffer. Are you stupid? You think Igbos are cowards? Or do you think we are the sort that can cowed down? I am an Igbo man and Biafran, I do not subscribe to the British fabrication called Nigeria and Ibadan and Sokoto are not Father land. We shall get our freedom from Nigeria and if it comes to Violent confrontation, I will be there at the front, even if it is with my Grand fathers hunting rifle and I will defend Biafra with my life. Don't come here to showcase your cowardice with this stupid write up just because you have been brainwashed to believe you are a Nigerian. Igbos are not slaves to anybody or the fraud called Nigeria. 11 Likes 4 Shares |

HiGod: OK, please make some corrections from the things u said lemme learn. Dats how u ppl said igbos declared war on Nigeria, y d reverse was d case. Dats how u ppl said igbos only wanted d southsouth(eadtern southsouth i.e rivers state, Akwa ibom and Cross rivers) because of oil, while d main reason was because when Ojukwu declared Biafra he did it because they were part if d Eastern region and dat was d region dat was under his command. You people say Igbo's forced other d ppl of southsouth to be part of Biafra yet the second in command as at then was a southsouth man in d person of Philip effiong. You people said igbos hv expansionist tendencies yet despite how small d whole eastern region is, and other factors igbos didn't fight any recorded single war with any minority group over intention to tk der land. You people say if Biafra kicked off igbos wud force der culture on minority groups yet King Jaja of opobo was of igbo origin, yet wen he became a king in Ijaw land of Opobo he treated dem as his own, and the land as his own so much dat he fought d ppl hinterland dat were likely his kins. D list goes on.u are d one lieing to urself. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Saying igbo's declared war on Nigeria, as if Ojukwu wanted the war, one of d main reasons dat united d igbo's to fight was d progroms in d north and killings dat were happening in d West against igbos, the people out of fear believed somehow that when the people killing dem was done killing der kins in other regions they wud come for dem. Also Ojukwu tried his best to stop it so much dat they went to Aburi in Ghana and made an agreement, ok u ppl dont want igbos in ur region ok it's fine, since u ppl dont want a carry every part of Nigeria along in d race for nation building let us have a confederation he didn't say let us break up, let us hv a confederation. Go won agreed they hogged, had tea, signed it, but the moment Gowon landed in Nigeria he threw the papers away. And ordered for military tanks to start heading to the eastern region... Who is wrong?... if u hv any other account pls tell me as I am speaking for myself. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

lygn19:Surely you can produce a copy of the "SIGNED" documents Stop lying no one signed anything Ojukwu heard what he chose to hear. How can Ojukwu and Gowon sit down to agree confederation that will affect Yorubas and Ijaws without Ijaws and Yorubas at the table? The truth,the bitter truth is Nigeria was operating regionalism and Ironsi abolished it to a unitary system.Ojukwu did not complain because Eboes were in charge and as soon as they lost out he resorted to violence and lost out..As many attempts as you folks make to distort the truth we wil make to refute your LIES. When Nigeria was negotiated there were political leaders from the whole country present and suddenly you are saying Ojukwu and Gowon ,two 30 year old men would sit down and decide the destiny of a multiethnic country like Nigeria.You folk are really funny. No one is so keen on keeping Eboes ,the fact is you cannot achieve your goals by force.You are an emotional egotistic people that do not think far. It is very simple to break away if you have a plan but all you have is noise. To break away all you need to do is organize yourselves and your politicians,pass a resolution in all your states houses of assembly and and ask your federal legislators to put that position forward at the centre. You are your own enemies politically. I promise you if you do the foregoing you will be out of Nigeria before 2019 PEACEFULLY. Do not kid yourself that violence will achieve anything or cling on foolishly to some nostalgic dream of vengeance .Look at the map your land is no bigger than Kwara state and you hae no money and no resource so why would we want to keep you?? 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Without the coming of the British you would have been annihilated by now. The only land that is yours is that which you can defend by force.

fr3do:Study history well. People have lost territory either partially or totally whether in Australia,The United States,Palestine etc. There were people who once walked this earth of whom today there is no trace ,not of language,painting or even tombstone. One upon a time dinosaurs and mammoths walked on earth now they are no more. So if Eboes are evacuated from any land there would be no problem repopulating the land with Kanuris or Igalas,do not doubt that for one second. The more aggressive you get the more likely that scenario becomes. However we shall wait till you act then react,talk is cheap |
Re: Biafra: Igbos Una Don Come Again. by PenSniper: 12:11pm On Jun 20, 2015 |
Op, your post is sensible but I dare say unrealistic. The convergent forces that habitate Nigeria are intrinsically incompatible and cannot evolve a nation out of Nigeria. In addition, the territorial traits in ndigbo has an underlying potential time-bomb that is bound to go off without notice sooner or later. The wisdom behind the UN's charter on self-determination, etc, is almost out of this world and is highly commendable. If couples who profess to love each other and subsequently marry supposedly for better AND for worse are allowed to dissolve the marriage, nothing should and must stand in the way of people who wants out of an unsolicited, unnegotiated forced amalgamation by people who would not live with us. If UK/SCOTLAND, with all their civilisation, years of peaceful co-existence and level of integration could have a go at it, I see no reason why Nigeria can't. Personally, I prefer and crave for an Oduduwa republic. I haven't seen anything worth making me a patriotic Nigerian in this country as yet. Nigeria parades criminals as political and military rulers with no leaders. 5 Likes |
