No yoruba pastor collecting tithes from Biafrans will say this truth. Never! This is why i respect northerners and Biafrans. If we don't like each other, we say it right in front of ourselves, it is mutual but a yoruba will smile in front of you and then stab you at the back when you lose your guard. Cowards and hypocrites!

The problem is not whether they're entitled to secede or not. The problem is threatening a section of the country with violence and campaigning of violence against the government. The strategy of kanu has not worked anywhere and will not work in Nigeria.

If you want to secede, do so in civilized manner employing known civil strategies. Not intimidation and not coercion.
U mean d style MASSOB has been using for 12yrs? No... We love it ds way, atleast we got a core Northerner in Yerima talking abt it... More will join, and d gospel z moving from place to place, city to city, country to country. Its just a matter of time Bro.

I like to know Yerima's view about the ibo journalist who was forced into exile when she mentioned Mohammed in the article she wrote about the miss world contest in Abuja.

Freedom of expression and democracy was in Nigeria then but Yerima was mute. Hypocrites everywhere.

But do an average Ibo Man or Woman really wants to leave Nigeria?To me the clamour for biafra is just from a minute few..Ibo's are all over Nigeria doing good..Inter tribal Marriages,Have got an Ibo girlfriend who doesnt even give a hoot about Biafra..Have got ibo friend's..I mean i think this clamour is just from a few nowadays and not the general ibo..My Take

She may say she does not want Biafra so that she does not hurt you, but deep down she knows what it means to her people.

At the end it is not getting results that sets one free, it is staying with that which is true when you come across it

I agree that kanu's approach is flawed but at times but then the demand for self determination isn't treason at least not in 2015

Some of the so called leaders re just kids who still need direction. If someone of Yerima status can state something like this then his brain should be checked. The main question is why this so called agitation were not in place during GEJ era when igbo were at the fore front of this government. As well, no one is saying igbo should not be on their own. But any region that want to bring down the well being of this nation need harsh treatment. I agree that south east can stand alone cos they contribute little or nothing to this nation but bringing any part of the nation for their agitation is total war. I wish to state that Nigeria will not condone any act that may destroy the unity of our great nation.

Some people need to travel outside Nigeria in other to stop being myopic, people keep on talking about oil as the reason biafra woun't stand. My question to them is what have we gain from oil? Since the discovery of oil in Nigeria, is one sufferness or the other, corruption, Embezlement, decay infrastructures. How many country in G20 that have oil as the means of their livelihood, go to country like Japan,Southkorea, Southafrica, USA, Swiss and so many non of them have oil, yet they are Richer than Nigeria 100 times. I challenge any body that said oil is the reason for biafra agitation to have the oil as igbo people never knows the need of oil in Nigeria as we have learn to live without any meaniful assistance with our oil money.

Please! You and I both know that if Jonathan had won the last Presidential election, there will be no such agitation. I STAND TO BE CORRECTED. Some of us in yorubaland knew this was coming because we suspected some miscreants like Asari Dokubo and co kept making references to war if Jonathan loses the election. We know that huge stockpile of weapons were purchased for this purpose by cronies of the previous administration and the real intention of this agitation is to scatter the country and turn it into a war zone area because of it's rich resources. The WHOLE PICTURE isn't obvious to you because you are just pawns on the chess board of this power struggle-foot soldiers who are expendable once the power brokers are ready to move into the next stage of their evil agenda.

May I ask what states actually make up BIAFRA?

Seeking seccession isn't the issue, the issue is whether everyone within the zone actually share same idea. Convince the locals first before convincing the outside world. Else there might as well be another disagreement brewing, even if the Biafra thingy is granted.
Common sense will tell u that a refrendum will take care of that.

The Federal Government should in urgency release the director of the ibo race struggle and the call for referendum and end this issue once and for all.my lovely country nigeria can't afford to waste the lives of its citizens and be fighting double war including the boko boys.let peace reign once in our beloved country so our presido can deliver on his promise. Their should be no distraction for this breeze of change.

So, threatening to take up arms against a government is not treason? Asking Ibos to kill Hausas and Yorubas anywhere they find them is not grievous enough an offense to be picked up?

The truth remains the same whether or not it's Yerima that said it. Every sincere Nigerian knows that this British experiment will someday collapse, and give rise to a saner system or more nations. Whenever people who do not share similar values are aggregated together into one Lugardian Cage, violence, intolerance and ultimate separation are inevitable. The more homogenous a people are, the better for them.

In the era and age, every people should be allowed to chart their destinies, and where peaceful separation isn't possible, any other means should be deployed to achieve that. Can two walk together expect they be agreed? Certainly NO.

I still reiterate my total support to the Biafra people and their demand for self determination. And I salute their doggedness and courage.

Except you engage the oppressors, you're very much likely going to remain oppressed and that same oppression will be passed onto your kids. Pleading with the oppressor only boldens their resolve and pillagery.

Keep shouting. Keep discussing it. And you shall overcome. God bless the Igbo nation.
