Dreambeat:Do you honestly believe that things will be better for the average Igbo man in Biafra land?? Do you know that it's the same set of corrupt leaders/thieves that will still occupy leadership positions in biafra land? (They still possess the funds to influence the average voter) Charity begins at home! Before you guys start ur agitations, shouldnt you first deal with ur looting LG chairmen, HOR members, Senators and finally ur Governor's, then you will be taken Seriously.. Its sad that the land of Biafra will be emanate from the blood of the innocent who are honestly frustrated, they are being used by selfish elites. When Biafra emerges it will shock them, when they realize that you can take a pig from a styl but u can't take the styl from a pig. Ur current leaders in Nigeria are the same as ur leaders in Biafra. Wake up and do the needful 2 Likes 1 Share |

Debatesmartly:was that government in your hands or not? the wife of the president, CBN, finance minister , Sec to the FG, chief of Army staff ,deputy Senate president , TAN ambassadors , etc but you guys didn't restructure. So must it suddenly be PMB that should? is not that deceit? |

Reference:so longsighted foreigners stop using force but persuasion and diplomacy to let the president know why we must restructure and if it isn't in his priorities as it wasn't in the owners of that pseudo- confab in 2015 , life goes on. simple. |

Super1Star: You cannot sincerely claim you asked for restructuring 23yrs ago. The best anyone can ask for 23yrs ago was for a return to Democratic rule. So, if you did ask at that time, you didn't do it out of sincere purpose but to push the Northerners to consider the Yorubas after disenfranchising them in the elections. If Yorubas were ever truly sincere, nothing prevented Obasanjo in his 8yrs to restructure Nigeria, and nothing is preventing Osinbajo now. Truth is, Yorubas like the Northerners will face many uncertainties should Nigeria be restructured like most Federal Government's of the world. Yorubas subtly fight against it in the background, leaving the more vocal Northerners to look like the stumbling block whilst you guys are even worse. The status quo will not remain like this for long. 1 Like |

misano: Bros, The non ibo's won't be marginalized. that's why i duff my heart for IPOB, check out the people that are incharge of it in Nigeria and thank me later as well. do you that IPOB national coordinator is a Bayelsa man while Akwa ibom man assist even igala,idoma and others are well represented am talking about presently. Then taking you back the memory lane of 1967 don't forget the likes of Effiong,Joe Achuzie, Opigo et al, these are people of other tribes that were anchoring Biafra then with Ojukwu. Bros ibo's like live and let live not live and let others die. So the reason for me standing by them as an Ikwerre man is that am better off and my people will be better off too. 5 Likes |

Unfortunately,most of those commenting on Biafra did not know what brought about the word Biafra . Going back to history, before Independence, Pa Obafemi Awolowo had proposed the creation of three other Regions from the existing three regions of the North,West and the Eastern region. (see AWO's "Thought to Nigeria constitution_ 1945)" but at Independence this did not came by. but by 1963 Midwest was created from the old Western region but the Hausa/Igbo Coalition govt. at Independence refused to create the Middle Belt from the North and Calabar _Ogoja_Rivers (COR) region from the old Eastern region despite agitations from the proposed regions concerned the likes of Joseph Tarka from the Middle belt and Wenike and Lulu Briggs from the COR region we are all aware of what became of their ends for their agitations. Then came the one sided coup of January 15, 1966 and the subsequent counter coup of July the same year and its follow up. The breaking of the country into 12 states by General Gowon in which the then Eastern region was broken into East Central, South Eastern state (Calabar/Ogoja) and River state was what brought Ojukwu to declare Biafra because he felt that the oil rich south south area which had all along been under their control has been taken away from them not minding the fact that similar action happened in the then Northern region which was divided into seven region of North East, North West North Central etc etc. So those now agitating for bia_ fraud should now know that Gowon acted in line with Awolowo's earlier proposal of six regions by making it twelve but because the I BEFORE OTHERS want to continue to lord it over the South South they unilaterally declared Biafra forgetting that only the South South can declare Biafra if they so whish because the bight of Biafra belong to them like Bight of Benin belong to Benin republic. The Igbo's have nothing to do with bight of Biafra as they were completely land locked without access to the sea. |

Debatesmartly:what referendum is that fraudster of a KANU leading with hate speeches, threat and lies after failing in their bid to get Gej reelected? So when he as a TANoid was campaigning for Jonathan's reelection in 2015 referendum has not been invented? Buhari was wrong to have said that 5% but your insanity provoked him. But despite that he has been fair in his appointments no mater what any hate filled enemy may say about it. As far as the constitutional responsibilities of a President to his citizens are concerned ,Buhari walks tall among best Nigerian leaders. And we shall protect him and our people anywhere in Nigeria . |

Babacele: You denigrate Kabu for his hateful words Yet you praise who is violent in his words and in his actions. His supporters went on a killiing rampage when he lost the election. Under his tenure thousands of civilians have been killed by the army or the police who are directly under his command Not directly under his own command also evee more civilians are being killed in the middle belt by his own tribesmen. The double and standard and hypocrisy needs to stop |

Debatesmartly:PMB has never supported any form of violence against any group or individual but you lots in collaboration with the thieving Nigerian elites in the PDP have been selling all sorts of wicked lies against the person and character of PMB as children of corruption saw him as their Waterloo. At the a federal high court when Abati had verb sued to substantiate the ' our ll make the country ungovernable ' dummy of an allegation ,and it has been established beyond all sane and reasonable doubts that it was a PDP chieftain and NOT PMB who used that phrase. Second, that it was PDP that sponsored the post 2011 election violence and was trying to pin it on PMB. That the GEJ presidency and the Guardian newspaper Abati had misused, apologized openly to PMB. So you see that you have been misinformed deliberately hence you unknowingly spread lies and hate campaign s. Herdsmen wrecked more havoc under Gej that under PMB. The Army under PMB are motivated ,more disciplined and have saved more lives and properties of Nigerians than under Gej that sabotaged our millitary. Hatred don't let people see truths. |

FrankGiel: Atleast, in Biafra, a revolution can occur. The people are one, and when need be, they can gang up and purge themselves of bad leaders. It would be very hard for bad leaders to divide them. In Nigeria, the chances of revolution is zero. The people are stuck with bad leaders forever, as they were never one people, have nothing in common, and so are easily divided by bad leaders, making it impossible for them to carry out a successful revolution. 2 Likes |

The same Pdp and corruption he hates while his daughter Halima is married to Ali Modu Sherriff son? The west is sending back part of Abacha's loot every trimester same Abacha pmb said he never stole a dime from Nigeria? Same Buhari who had to borrow money for his form while his children were schooling in the UK and wearing designer items. Spare us the bullshit and the hypocrisy. Your Apc is 80% former Pdp politicians only a populace as stupid and gullible as nigerians can belive that those are changed men or all somehow innocent. |
