‎I don't think any Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa man is praying for war....but in life, when danger befalls you and threatens your existence, you have no option but to fight to live; it's a natural trait in all humans and animals.

Mind you, Igbo people didn't just wake up one day to declare war against other Nigerians in 1967; if u doubt it, go and read the war history written by foreign war historians, don't read one written by Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa...read the ones written by foreign historians and u will understand that Biafra (Igbos and today Niger Delta) were pushed to the wall by Hausa/Fulani.

The imminent cause of the civil war was the 1966 pogrom; google it and read about it.

If northerners didn't carry out the 1966 pogrom aimed at wiping out Igbo/Niger Delta from the face of the earth, in which they went on killing sprey, slaughtering civilian Igbo women, children and adults‎ living innocently in the north, there wouldn't have been civil war in Nigeria at all.

So it was the 1966 pogrom that led to the war.

If you also study what's happening today, you will realize that Hausa/Fulani people love violence and killing of innocent civilians for non justifiable reasons; either for their barbaric religion or for political disagreement as seen in the cases of 2011 presidential election and Boko Haram insurgency of today.

Yorubas aren't violent...they are peaceful...the only issue Igbos have with Yorubas is Yorubas cunning attitudes of using the Igbos to make friendship with the north by always siding with the north in national politics out of fear and other reasons.

So before u say something, read history....Igbo people didn't declare war, they only asked for freedom from oppression ‎in the midst of mass slaughtering of their people by the people they call countrymen.

It was Gowon backed by then British govt. that declared war; Police Action to forcefully return Biafra back to Nigeria. So get your facts right, Igbos didn't make any war mistake....war was declared on them for declaring themselves free from Nigeria, and they had no option than to fight to live, which led to the war.

Well said. I am well versed in the civil war history and its cause. U are partly right but there are also other ways to acheive am aim

Whynotthetruth:


1)Which of my statements denotes me seeing this as party related? Or because I mentioned Buhari? is buhari president of APC or Nigeria? Aren't you myopic bro? And you want to educate others? hahahahaha

2)See yourself...So the agitation isn't international? how delusional, illogical, myopic and ignorant can one be? So what made buhari to comment on it even in far away New York? Minister of Foreign affairs just commented? Amnesty international has documentation on same? UN has gotten several memo on same... Protest has gone on in basically all countries...Which media organization in the world today isn't covering same? so how international can this be? even parliamentarians in UK has discussed same...deliver yourself first boy!!!

3)You have proved yourself an ignoramus of highest degree...Sanusi Lamido Sanusi prophesied long time ago about the new Biafra agitation...Read his article; "Yoruba is the problem of Nigeria". and come back here to spew trash.

4) Plz did you watch Prof Soludo video at all or you just an ignorant fool? Which kind of human are you? A video in which he discussed the New Biafra with all Igbo leaders and business ken present? You're sick upstairs... sorry...no offense intended

Ignorance is a diesease. I just pity people like u but then I can understand that the fraustration of the recession is getting to u.
In ur previous post u mentioned APC thats why it became clear u meant party. My party orientations and affiliations do not exist, I am apolitical so ur interest in party shouldn't be directed at me. Ur opinion is warpped and twisted and makes no clear sense. Sorry bros but u will not go far with such a mentality

Hope you read the stuff I referred you to? I feel your pain sincerely...no jokes here... I understand your dilemma.
Growing up in a place that they will some day remind you to shift...and going back to a group that don't even trust you...My sincere advise bro is that you work on your relationship with your dad no matter how sceptical he might be with you and your mum. That should be a good start. Your identity crisis showed in your words here...Sorry if we were too harsh on you. But don't spread lies for selfish reasons. thanks

Lol, u don't feel any pain cos there is none. My dad is late and lived with my mum till the end. He past on 2 years back. My sibs and I were lucky to have such a dad. He was a wonderdul man. So u see, whatever pain u feel u felt was of ur own misconception. I was on the thread enjoying the insults u children. Its obvious u kids don't know better and needed someone to teach u so I decided to be the one to enlighten u. cheers I am busy now.

why don't you try and convince the aniomas first to call themselves igbos instead of Delta igbos first before poaching your fangs into Edo state, grin,you are making yourselves more ridiculous by this attempt to mooch off other regions
There we go again! only yday I corrected you on this same silly impression on Anioma's. Can't you just desist from mentioning anioma in your quest to garnish your divisive agenda? Leave Aniomas to worry about themselves and the Biafran agenda or when do you start speaking for them? fyi I'm one, and I never introduce myself as delta igbo or whatever nonsense and dubious appellation evil people like you choose to go with. Also leave igbanke people to worry about themselves.

Lastly and thankfully, your part of edo isnt part of the Biafran territory as you have been severally told, so stop sweating over it okay. Haba!

BTW, even the delta Igbo you tend to use derisively was/is only used by a few anioma's to say they are Igbos but from 'politically created delta state'.

I think Mr 'mandate-assigner' should focus on 'Austrian' politics where he 'may' have an opinion that counts. Even in Austria, there are still igbos who think he is not making sense to the igbofolk.

I just don't understand how these people reason. Must an 'idea' have a leader? You believe that the Change idea should be every man's mandate irrespective of political affiliations, but you find it hard to understand that the igbos are seeking a way out of this entrapment as a common goal.

Go take a poll in the heart of igboland and stop relying on media hogwash whipped up by APC-sympathetics and Pseudo-igbos.

In other news, I'm just trying to remember the local governments in igboland of the first three or four people on this thread that are discussing the mindset of the igbos on IPOB. undecided

For any struggle to make sense or succeed there has to be a leader or caretaker or persons that represent the will of the agreed people and geography.

2ndly: u can't just wake up in 2012/13/14/16 to pursue a cause of 1970s just like that when things may have clearly changed. There has to be an agreement of various sections if not it will be looked as a mere riot/baseless agitation. If u go about it as tugs u will be treated as tugs.

3rdly: a valid mandate can not be ignored bt is ur mandate valid enough? Even if the north wants to breake away or the weta it shudnt be given without a valid mandate. Not by showing ur aggression.

4thly: Mandela, Martin Luther kings etc were leaders who lead their causes according to laid down principles and not by just making noise and disorder.
Let us learn to do things right. Cheers

Okay. So, who was the leader that effected the results of the Brexit polls recently conducted in Britain?

Secondly, what has 'really' changed in the reason for the struggle? What was the difference between then and now?

Thirdly, what laws does Nigeria have that makes Nigerians be the perfect judge of the validity or otherwise of a mandate?

Finally, Mandela and Kanu have something in common. They both were incancerated for what they believed in. However you look at it, they incited their oppressors who used their powers to try to waver them from their cause.

I do not believe there is any perfect strategy on how to 'break out' from an entrapment in every country. Nigeria is a country with third world problems; you can't expect that to change overnight when the factors that put such problems in place are still very much in existence. This is different from whites oppressing blacks. Don't expect racial backing from other countries.

The crux of the matter is: the Igbofolk are riled and the government isn't taking 'democratic' steps to address the reasons. And in such a country, a revolution is the 'only' solution. I'm yet to see a law in the Nigerian Constitution that legalises revolution, so forgive me if I do not agree with your school of thought.
