KingOfAmebo:


It appears you are still suffering from a post-war syndrome..Ojukwu who lead your bandits to war and his responsible for the deaths of millions of biafrans eventually dined with the Federal Republic Of Nigeria before his death, his wife now works for the government of Nigeria.

Nigeria won both the battle and the war, so my dear, deal with it and stop crying over spilled milk

Moreso, the Nigerian state is too complex and inter-twined for a few bunch of miscreants to want to fight an already lost war...any attempt will be suicidal, be warned...I know you would want to mention how boko-haram is rattling the military but may I remind you that the boko-haram is a political tool.

Wake up from your slumber, Chuckwudi will not leave his lucrative spare-part business in Lagos to come and die for a lost course...why would he do that when all his family reside in Lagos and they only visit the village for Christmas and New Year.

your brain dey pain you... We dare you... let Nigeria and United Nations, conduct a referendum.... If Nigeria no dey fear, let them conduct a referendum... You talk about leaving business in Lagos to fight for a cause as if you know a thing about Igbos... Yorubas are the least enlightened Nigerians ever.... their knowledge doesn't surpass knowing about Lagos and Ibadan!!!! Tufiakwa!!!

That will be better than insurgency and illiteracy.
Nigeria government of today is a professor taking orders from a cattle rearer.
WAEC of today is 60% mark for credit in the south and 35% mark for credit in the north, and you jump up
The 1600 system of cattle rearing is still your system in the 21th century
Almajiri you are and almajiri you will die.
Blood sucker, parasite and senseless you.
May 2019 open your eyes to reality
If you are a professor yet a cattle rearer gives you orders and you obey then your professorship is worthless. You are talking about waec? Who doesnt know about the miracle center of the South. We almajiri will continue to lead you while you docily follow. Your were born to be our servants. Get all the education you can, I will add you to my cows and herd you.

some people will still force themselves to sound reasonable despite ending up sounding stupid... in 21st century is when you are still forcing people to remain with you... if Biafrans should leave and have their own nation, will you die or will your mother turn to a man I really don't understand how it is, that some of you people can't think... They drag your name in the mud, and you don't like it, why not let them go?? Igbos say, instead of a bat to bite me, let the bat fly away.... You feel Igbos are bitting you, why not let them go away?
Shey ode leleyi ni?
Abeg just carry your frustration go!
Your biafra can never come to reality,eyin oponu yi

I am not surprised at your usual rant, You claim Nigeria is a zoo but you and your entire family still live in the zoo called Nigeria, the zoo must be very condusive if not you and your entire family would have long left the zoo for us. Abi them tie una rope for neck to stay?

Just to remind you brainwashed and brain dead ipob youths, your great grandfather and ancestors were Nigerians, biafran agitators comprises of lazy and ignorant youths with zero knowledge of the history of Nigeria and/or the history of their ancestors...always living in the illusion that they are Jews, lack of direction and short memory of past failed experiences. Ojukwu tried it but failed and have since crawled back to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Nnamdi Kanu got the heat of things and ran to Israel for cover, I am sure whenever Kanu hears "Python Dance" he go piss for pant...he can rant whatever he wants from far away Israel, Nigeria doesn't give a hoot, he can order your likes to go kill themselves while he and his family enjoy in Israel..that one no concern Nigeria.

Now you talk about referendum as something to hold unto as if conducting referendum will automatically grant your wishes...you better wake up cuz the world is already on the move...Biafra is long dead. The UN have better things to talk about not your white elephant project.

The civil war was where Nigeria lost it. When a small ,
Unprepared biafran enclave with only 17 rifles brutalized what was supposedly the military of the giant of Africa backed by Britain ,Soviet union ,east Germany ,Egypt ,Ireland ,Sudan ,Niger ,Chad, cameroon , Arab world etc for30 months ,so much so that Soviet union was embarrassed by the ineptitude of Nigerian military and Nigeria had no option but rely on non combatant tactics of starving women and children also justifying it with the saying that all was fair in war.
It came to a height when the poorly armed biafrans wiped out 90% of the second division with an improvised, locally made ogbunigwe operated by a battalion led by a major uchendu in a small town of Abagana south eastern Nigeria.

Nigeria won the battle but lost the war . And lost it's respect and reputation before the world .

Biafra lost the battle but won the respect, admiration and a dignified reputation before the world.
wow

Watch How Nigeria Was Once Respected By America, What Went Wrong?

Look at the pumps and pageantry Nigeria was once revered in America. Today, our presidents visit America unnoticed.

The snap and have hand shakes with American president and it's celebrated and made a campaign achievement. Rochas Okorocha shook Obama and erected a bill board in Omo.

I ask again, what went wrong?

Can we ever return to this height?

Well educated, articulated, brave and charismatic leader. We have so regressed into allowing illiterates lead this country. What a disappointment

We had leaders who didn't work for that reputation so it was easier to tarnish it slowly.

They are still tarnishing it, caring about self interest instead of National interest unlike our founding fathers.
Our founding fathers had self interest. Don't deceive yourself into thinking that they didn't have some eye on ruling the country. Nigeria was a large nation, and large equates to power, and that is why it still goes by the name "Giant of Africa". So looking at the perceived power of the young nation the whole world extrapolated that Nigeria was going to be at the seat of world powers and with that extrapolation looked and treated Nigeria as such. Oh! How wrong they were, decades later Nigeria is worse off than it started.
