We're staying in the north. It's you people coming here to make a living.

If you're so concerned about children that died in a so called genocide 50 years ago why are you then threatening to condemn more children to death today with your violent predisposition to secession?

Abeg, help me ask them!! angry

funny dude. Though not with all that but let any tribe in Nigeria today try hausa that's when you will know what i am saying sire.

We did and they ran to their colonial masters.
All awusa gragra na mouth.
Let me ask you. what do you mean by "try hausa"? Because I have tried a few of them already and can authoritatively say that they are not sweeter than Ogonis.

Don't tell me you expect US to fold its arms after Japan attacked Pearl harbor.
Is nuclear Bomb good? No I don't support it but in hindsight, it probably was the best option considering the technology available at that time.
So, the wise one, do you mind suggesting a better alternative? Its easy to criticize and call people names. But if you don't have any better alternative/suggestion (in the given scenario) you better shut the fvck up.

Come & shut me up. _imbecile

Fresh Charges Against Nnamdi Kanu

Few days ago the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had celebrated the news of the release of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who has been in detention for over 90 days now by the Federal Government.

Nnamdi Kanu was released by a Federal High Court last week in Abuja, only to be issued with fresh a charge of treasonable felony by the federal government.

The FG had on Friday last week gone to a Federal High Court in Abuja and has prefer a six count charges against Mr Kanu and two other accomplice in the name of Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi.

cramjones:
I have keenly observed the current events that have led to the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the Biafran movement. I have mixed reactions to the events that have transpired and have communicated my thoughts to the Nigerian Presidency. I will attempt elucidating my thoughts here.

1. I am of the opinion that the call for Biafra is legitimate: Firstly, Biafra existed before Nigeria was created. It was made up of people with similar cultures and language (with majority tribe being Igbo). It is perfectly legitimate for the original inhabitants of the country to yearn to have back their country and resources under their control. However, I do not believe that Biafra is a viable solution at this time.

2. During the Biafran war it is estimated that at least 1 million people of largely Igbo extraction were killed! This is no doubt in mind a genocide. However, the Nigerian government has made a fundamental mistake by:

a. Not recognizing it ever took place, or playing down the number of those that died for political reasons, only serve to fuel violence and the call for secession.
b. They have also made a major mistake by not even having a memorial day to remember those that died during the genocide - This action alone will give a sense of belonging and would foster a deepened National unity.

3. If the government does not look into the creation of a true federation whilst implementing its pseudo-federalism, and pretend that a genocide never took place, then the dissolution of Nigeria or even the metastasis of the Biafrian movement becomes inevitable.

4. Despite the premise I have laid out, I still do not think a Biafran state is viable. This is why

i. The Eastern Goverments are fundamentally corrupt; A visit to present day Imo and Abia will attest to the corruption and rot that have plagued the region. These leaders have all FAILED to develop the east with the resources given to them. If they had made the East the "dubai" of Nigeria, everyone including the international community would have taken the cry for Biafra serious. The argument would be if the "Biafran leaders" can develop their region with the "little" resources given them, it is only fair they secede and do even more for their people and their region. However, this is not the case. A Biafran state will only lead to another mini civil war, and a fight for resources and wealth among Biafrans.

ii. Since 1970 when the war ended the geo-political dynamics of the Biafran region has changed. For example the people of Rivers would not want to be part of a country where their individual tribes become a minority. Same will go to Akwa Ibom etc. This will then lead to a disintegration of the original Biafran state, and would lead to a battle for resource control.

iii. If the above happens, Biafra would essentially be a landlocked country, and this can lead to an invasion and fight of Rivers, in order to fight for port control, oil revenue etc. Igbos will definitely need the ports since most of them are international business men, and won't afford to pay regions like Rivers for all the billions of dollars of imports that takes place in the region.

In summary, an eventual Biafran state through a peaceful referendum will lead to a situation worse than South Sundan.

Way forward:

1. President Buhari MUST as a matter of urgency look into the white paper of the national conference and work assidiously with congress to make sure he implements true Federalism.

2. We must as a matter of urgency accept that at least 1 million Igbos where killed and establish a day to remember these precious lives that were gone. We must go a step further to make sure we teach this history to our kids, and not ban it from being tought in schools.

3. If the Federal government treat the Biafra issue with kids gloves, we may have something worse than Boko Haram in our hands.

4. Release Nnamdi Kanu immediately! Sit down with him and lay out your plans to resolve this issue. It would be a disservice to the Igbo people to compare the rise of Boko Haram with this present agitation, but history has thought us that as dynamic and complex Nigeria is, we MUST as a matter of urgency address the agitation of the Biafrans, before it metastasize to a problem bigger than Nigeria. A stitch in time saves nine!

Personally, I have shared these thoughts to my friend and brother Femi Adeshina with the hope that he would communicate this to P.M.B.

It is my hope that this does not destroy our country in our very eyes.

Although I stumbled on this thread quite late; I must say that it mirrors my exact opinions... especially on the aspect of Igbo leaders.
85% of the leaders of the Igbo nation.. mostly governors are so corrupt and unpatriotic.
Till the igbo's have a true leader of the people, charismatic, patriotic and unselfish ; Biafra is not only unattainable but undesirable
