Boko Haram and the North are already doing enough destroying Nigeria, nothing unites the rest of the country than the voice of the Igbo man. Let us take the back seat and let the wickedness of these people be obvious to the rest of the world.

If anything all I will expect from South East Governors is to encourage Igbos in the North to come back home and start a new life. Thats about it.

We are doing just fine. They are already digging a hole for themselves. There is no need engaging a drowning man in a fight!!!

Great talk bro.

Golden silence. SE is wiser now than before.

EzeUche:

We must admit that we have learned this tactic from a certain group. 

Onlytruth:

Nwanne we have no choice! 

EzeUche:

Why have South-East leaders remained silent about Boko Haram?

I think only one South-East governor, has mentioned anything concerning this group and that was T.A. Orji, but the rest have been silent on such issues.

For all of T.A. Orji's faults, when it comes to defending Igbos, he does not guard his words. Just remember what he said about Igbos being targeted in the North, during the election violence. Sometimes we need people like him.

kettykin:

The SE should not only keep quiet , The SE should start preparing for a long and gruesome war. [/b]The SE for instance through their state universities fund researches into advanced food processing and storage, conversion and manufacturing of artificial proteins , very reliable long distance microwave communication , advanced air defence system (modernising the ogbunigwes) e.t.c

What is heppening in Nigeria now is similar in cntext to what happened before the secong coup in 1966. [b]silence should be the watch word but there should behing the scene preparations.

mens dept:

I commend you for starting this topic which is good, but once again, you've proven why the average Igbo of today is politically irrelavant. Do you know that T.A. Orji has brought more misery to the very state he has been selected to rule than all the Boko Harams bombings?

DO you know that all the so called selected leaders of Abia state were returned back for another four wasteful years and you guys have not decided to Bokorize them?

So no, we dont need people like him.

Nonsense

kettykin:

@ poster TA orji's threads should be opened,

if the igbos dont do there home work now, what happens if the big countries in their usual antics decide not back any side or to make the matters worse throw their weight behind BH backed Government (with the feeble excuse that they dont want a divided Nigeria)

The best is to start early preparations and hope to get external Collaborations

EzeUche:

My brother I have agreed with Mikeansy response. It makes sense now. 

But you do need Igbos like him, especially during war. I believe T.A. Orji and many like him including myself would fight fire with fire. People who will protect the Ndigbo at all cost.

mens dept:

I see you have modified this post, although for the worse. If Igbo have T.A. Orji on their side during a war with Lesotho, guess what, Lesotho wins.

Is this the same Orji who has destroyed a part of Igboland for 5 years and running, who went to APGA for a day and cowardly decamped to PDP?

Is this the leader you want to fight against known conquerors (Fulani) ?

If so, then my advice is to prepare a letter to the Red Cross

Onlytruth:

Both bolded supported strongly.
I do not support depending on LOCAL weapons research and development for any future conflict. That is one bitter lesson from the civil war we must not repeat. We need INTERNATIONAL allies and suppliers of modern weapons.
My eyes are still on Israel.

manny4life:

While I do not support total use of LOCAL weapons, however, I don't think that option should be ruled out either. I mean, I support modernizing local weaponry to add to your MODERN stockpile inventory will go a long way. Have you ever considered a "What If" scenario; if there are no international allies willing to stand by us? I mean, there are suppliers of modern weaponry, but is that really enough? Me personally, there's more preparation to weapons and allies. Remember, wars are not fought by weapons ONLY, but by STRATEGY.

Onlytruth:

If we don't get a SOLID INTERNATIONAL support, we mustn't ever go to war. Simple.
That lesson is very clear from the last civil war; infact in my own book, that was the ONLY reason Biafra failed.
Our local production can never be enough to win a fast war. While we were busy researching and developing, Aboki and their allies were busy gaining grounds at the battle field.
One account almost brought tears to my eyes; the Biafran army had a Nigerian army battalion under Col Etuk surrounded in Owerri. For a long time, the Biafrans couldn't finish them off because they lacked the HEAVY WEAPONS to do so: tanks and armed personnel carriers, aircrafts, long range artillery pieces, missiles. The Nigerians escaped, though badly bruised. They later came back to recapture Owerri again.
Riffles, and guns can't win wars. Heavy weapons do.
Ndigbo MUST NEVER attempt another war without ensuring a limitless supply of those weapons. QED.
