Igbos Cant Have Biafra For Being All Over Nigeria? Really? by gidgiddy: 7:55am On Jun 16, 2021 |
There is this age old narrative that has been peddled for far too long, that Igbos shouldnt be seeking Biafra because they are spread out all over Nigeria. Even Buhari mentioned something like that in his recent interview Who says you cannot seek an independent homeland because of migration? There are many Eritreans all over Ethiopia, but Eritrea left Ethiopia. Infact, many Eritreans still use Ethiopian passports to this day despite leaving Ethiopia over 25 years ago. There are millions of British people living and working in the EU, but Britain left the EU There are millions of Israeli-Jews spread across the world, but they have the State Of Israel Theres no country in the world that doesn't have Nigerians, but there is the Federal Republic Of Nigeria. So what is the basis of this talk that because Igbos are spread all over Nigeria, they cannot have Biafra? 9 Likes 1 Share |

We're the Eritreans insulting the Ethiopians daily like Igbos do tto the rest of Nigeria. The only alternative I see for Igbo freedom is Rwanda. Example of the Tutsi n Hutsi is what I forsee from the division of Nigeria n those that get razor mouth with Lil or no security to their existence be beta worried. gidgiddy: 4 Likes 1 Share |

I support Biafra and can't wait for it to come,so that all their kins and brethren can leave all the places they occupy in Nigeria and converge at Biafra. You can't have Biafra and still want to benefit from Nigeria, you can't eat your cake and have it. Something must go in order to gain another thing. 2 Likes 1 Share |

gidgiddy: First go back to biafraland and agitate for biafra over there.....the issue is that unlike the jews, nobody is stopping you guys from going back to the east, but you probably won't go back for fear of your lives. Even me as an ibadan man I prefer my ibadan any day any time over Lagos even though I have strong family ties over there..... I always wonder what's chasing flatin0s away from their land to the lands of people they claim to hate them. Jews left eygpt. 6 Likes 1 Share |

The reason why the OP opened this thread is because he is afraid of a certain side effect of Biafra. And it is called....treatment of foreigners. Once Biafra is declared, Ibo and non Ibo citizens of Biafra would have to pay taxes, fees, etc at foreigner rates instead of citizen rates....which means that an Ibo man doing business in Nigeria could be paying higher taxes. They may also be subject to foreigner laws...and restrictions. At the end of the day, many Ibos living outside Biafra would have to take up Nigerian citizenship. Think it won't happen? We have ECOWAS....yet countries like Ghana recently expelled non Ghanaians , who were bonafide ECOWAS citizens from their country. There is nothing wrong with agitating for Biafra, but be aware of the consequences. |

Let me educate you. Being an ecowas citizen does not give you a right to reside in another ecowas country beyond a period of 3 months. If the ecowas citizen wants to stay beyond that 3-month window, he/she is required to apply for resident permit and possibly work permit from the host country, or he or she will be living in that country illegally. When an ecowas citizen enters another ecowas country, he/she cannot do any work in that country unless he/she applies for a residence permit and work permit. Go and read the ecowas protocols very well before you mislead people. Are you aware that Nigeria also deports Ghanaians? Beancounter93: 1 Like |

You are proudly ignorant. Igbos left Lagos, Yorubaland and the entire Nigeria in 1967 when we seceded from this zoo and established Biafra. You went to war to force back to Nigeria. So deal with our presence in Nigeria. That's why they call you folks SOPHISTICATED slowpoke. Fulani has turned your kinsmen into refugees in Benin Republic. Instead of you to be focused on the state of Yoruba nation in Fulani-led Nigeria, you are rather Ndigbo-obsessed. What a slowpoke? WesternOligarch: 1 Like |

gidgiddy:To be honest, the Igbos have shown and lived the life of oneness than any other ethnic groups They live relatively peacefully with their neighbors So if a one man fulani president is telling us otherwise, shouldn't we collectively boot him out before he destroy our peaceful co-existence My fear is that all these stubborn traits we are seeing in Buhari are just foundation for a grand conspiracy they are planning I just hope that one day, we will not wake up to hear that ISWAP or whatever has hijacked aso rock oooooo and rename Nigeria as United Nations of Arab! Nigerians, we are doing something but we can do better! |

Uchek:Obsessed with who? You can't keep bringing Biafra bvllshit to a Nigerian forum and not expect backlashes. All we're saying is simple, kid. If you don't want people to interface in your affairs, stay away from anything Nigerian and watch how you're gonna be forgotten in the twinkle of an eye. You can't be wise and foolish at the same time, you're gonna have to choose one. You want to keep living in Nigeria and the same time want a seperate country. Who does that? Nigeria have the rights to accept or decline your citizenship, you can't force yourself on Nigeria when you're gone. Get that into your thick skull. 3 Likes 1 Share |

All Ibo ministers resign 3. Stop collecting federal allocation,start collecting your own IGR 4. Ibos relocate enmassse to the east The next day you have your BIAFRA The issue is that THIS IPOB AGITATION DOESNT HAVE THE BUY IN OF MOST IBO ELITES.....and until the elites buy into this idea, BIAFRA is a mirage ....... ojukwu was an elite reason why he could rally the elites around him then 1 Like 1 Share |
