probably scared of his own property

Hnmmmmm

His assumption.....

IPOB Could you trim the video to start from 37min,

He said ''Biafra will be the 16TH State of ECOWAS and that means you have free movment goods and properties''

Your properties and investments in London and Dubai what's happening to them. All the government officials and Nigerians that owns properties and investments outside Nigeria what's happening to them. You people are getting it wrong. If BIAFRA is actualised, Biafrans will be in Nigeria as foreigners including their properties and investments just as you hv other foreigners in Nigeria and Nigerians in other countries as foreigners.

The Biafrans will give them as gifts to the poverty stricken Afonjas.

probably scared of his own property

says someone who hasn't priced a bag of cement. Sacrifice lifetime sweat on another person wonderland dream? This is serious joke and major stumbling block to biafra

Observing

There are international laws guiding such issues. I am surprised Soludo is asking such question.

OK what would have happened to Scottish properties in England if they had left the United Kingdom?

What will happen to British properties in the EU, when they leave the EU?

I will look for the international treaty guiding such things for all to read

He said Biafra will likely be the 16th state of ECOWAS, and there is a strong likelihood that there will be free movement of goods and people, which includes protection of properties.

Soludo said the debate about Biafra must hold, that there is no running away from it, that the new Biafra movement has mixture of intelligentsia, the middle ranked and "foot soldiers" all in large amount, and driven by well to do, educated and intelleligent people in diaspora, heavily funded by them too, that anybody wishing it to go away by use of force or just wishful thinking, is lying to him/herself.

He also said that since it has gotten to a level of president Buhari even mentioning the word "referendum" even tho he said there will be none whatsoever, it means that in nearest future, the debate will be whether to have referendum or not, and which will be how to organize a referendum.

Soludo made mention of the sit-at-home protest, that if that does not show naysayers that something is brewing, then nothing else will.

Above all, he said the govt can't continue using force or denial, as a means of stopping the agitation, that it needs the government to be able to debate, discuss and provide counter opinions against Biafra.

Soludo also quoted Soyinka on Biafra being an ideology that can't be defeated by incarceration or shooting of the agitators.

I must also add that he warned the so called Igbo elites who are either in denial and those who think they want to use the agitators to negotiate for their own personal benefit, to think twice, because a time will come when the held up anger by the agitators will be unleashed on them, and that while vying to keep Biafra in Nigeria that yoy should also be careful to protect the interest of those who see Biafra as a means to get justice, equity and fairness, otherwise the whole thing will blow up on your face.

All he said is that there must be debates and discussions, because the way things were taking shape, that, the pro Biafrans seems to have been winning in their own side, and just like the sit at home, they may totally say this and this will not take place ie elections for example, and majority will avoid elections, and that will make a major point to all and sundry.

Summary!


Modified.

People will talk about Biafra, there is no running away from it.

This Biafra story has refuse to die, instead it is gaining more grounds and popularity.

I tire o

Soludo is right
The only time it will be easy for them is when they leave without fight or force

if they leave by force their investment will be confiscated.
If they leave in peace some of their property will still be aquired . eg land. Most of their assests will be acquired n redistributed n liabilites too. Or who will pay their debt??

Summary!

buhari sound so daft when he said ibos should forget about Biafra,this is democracy..and I expect the people of the south east to start working more to achieve this Biafra like voting for parties that will fight for independence instead of voting for parties like ApC,PDP and APGA

Jesusloveyou:

At least this time you did not say "Biafra will never come", tone is changing.

Good of you, change is everywhere!

God bless you for this summary. I know about the intelligentia working in tandem with other World intelligentia but what I don't is where nnamdi Kanu is.

God bless you for this summary. I know about the intelligentia working in tandem with other World intelligentia but what I don't is where nnamdi Kanu is.

If you mean in terms of if Nnamdi Kanu can't be ranked an intelligentsia, then we must put into cognizance, that he is a well learned man who has PhD in political economics from one of the prestigious universities in U.K

Also it takes an intelligent to build an organization that can rattle a govt without violence and has a structured leadership, from even the market women to the top echelon.

People may argue NK is a radical violence provoking man, others call him a table rouser and loose cannon, but one must appreciate that the man himself is a very intelligent fellow.
It takes intelligence to be a great orator and debater, and it takes another level of intelligence to store all important details in ones memory and be able to use it convincingly to wow his fiercest enemies.

Ignorance reigns supreme on nairaland. Biafra will be part of ECOWAS and there is a treaty of free movement of goods, people and properties. Indians, Lebanese etc own properties in Nigeria likewise Nigerians that own properties abroad.
