franchasofficia: The dude you replied knows nothing about nation and nationhood. He is best called Mugupolitician. Nigeria will NEVER attain Nationhood. The centrifugal forces acting on Nigeria 🇳🇬 are overwhelming the country. No messiah of a leader can emerge from the extant political structure and governance system of Nigeria to save the country from continuously stagnating every year. The mugupolitician doesn't understand that happiness and contentment over one's country is of utmost importance than belonging to a rich or large country. All the new countries that emerged from old European countries in the last 30 years are making progress in their separate new countries. However; methinks Simon Ekpa is now leading a 5th Columnist march against Biafra restoration. |

Your family will be killed, by State Actors and even Non State Actors. Your loved ones will be arrested unjustly and labelled killers and murderers. You will advocate for their release and you will be jailed and named an accomplice. You will be governed by criminals who will annex your benefits for their kith and kin. If you complain they will arrest and even kill you without remorse Then you will still bless 1 NIGERIA.. Nonsense lereinter: 1 Like |

RuggedBiafran: If your assumption is right, then you are yourself subjected to the Herdsmen whims as long as you're still a Nigerian. You see the complications of your idiocy? Good for the solidification of Biafra. I never preached against it. What irritates me is your proclivity to use Biafra struggle to quench your thirst for blood and commotion. You can't attain a nation you hope to be prosperous by instilling fear, subjecting people to hardship, preaching violence and spreading anger and toxicity. Be civil and rational. Fighting for freedom isn't a crime and should not be fought with immoral tactics. |

The day I stopped taking the Biafra thing serious was in 2019, no, I always haven't taken it serious. Many of the biafran activists here were all chanting A New Nigeria is Possible last year. IN 2019, many of them were chanting for Atiku, and back in 2015, it was GEJ all the way. Which tells me one thing...Biafra is a means to an end. Not just BIafra, remember who said he does not believe in the unity of Nigeria in 1997, and what he is saying now? Remember who said that NIgeria must be islamized in 2000, and what he was saying in 2014? And all the Biafranists when it is time for election...they support candidates who don't even give them what they want. Neither Atiku nor Obi want secession or breakup of Nigeria. GEJ too...his national confrence , secession was off the agenda from day 1...yet they still supported him for 2015. And then we remember MNK...who in 2012, was supporting one Nigeria, then became a Biafra activist in 2015. Know when I will take biafranist serious...when they go to the national assembly and raise motion for secession. And keep raising it, no matter how many times it fails. Because the strategy these guys are following, at the end of the day, it would be a waste of time And then they will come and shout that they do not want to fight war, yet that is what they are heading for. Biafra is like the agitation for sharia and oodua republic. A means by which sections of the elite agitiate for extra share of national cake or for power. Let's see...Buhari before power was a great agitatior for Sharia.....then he got into power...and after 8 years, Sharia was not implemeted across Nigeria. TInubu was one of the greatest fighters for restructuring out of power...now he is there, status quo ante. All of you Biafranists should, wherever you are, agitate for good roads, schools, etc. Biafra is a pipe dream by which people like Ekpa play on your emotions. Tomorrow now, Ekpa would probably be involved in government, and where would you be? I don talk my own. Nigeria is a country of lazy people. Resource dependency has made us lazy. And I guarantee the same laziness will strike us when we split up. BIafra and all the new countries would be poor broke ass countries in ten years. The sad thing is that Nigeria shows no signs of changing....which is why breakup is attractive to some. Blame APC for that. Back to ghost mode. 1 Like |

RuggedBiafran: I don't really care if NIgeria splits or divides or stays together either way...it is the course of history that nations do not last forever. That is irrelevant. But the problem I have with the whole biafra and so on discussion, and by extension the whole discussion...is that all of you really at the end of the day want to chop more money. You really do not want biafra. It is just a means to an end. If you wanted Biafra, you would be at the national assembly fighting for it, maybe you would lose and lose...but one day you will get there. But many of you guys want instant instant. World does not work that way. Scotland got referendum in 2014 after 100 years of political fighting. The IRA that fought war, wasted 30 years...now they are slowly getting somewhere since they tried the democracy game. But no, you Nairalanders behave as children. Mocking and mocking and mocking. That's why I am in ghost mode. TOo many of you can't talk to others without being rude and childish. Sad isn't it. I did not mock you or abuse you, but you came here and chose to do it. Good morning.

AguluLiar:You heartless souls from the Southwest love using this baseless line of "go to the NASS and submit a proposal bla bla bla". For your information, an Igboid House of Reps member from Rivers state, Hon. Chinda raised the motion at the floor of House of Reps in 2021 and he was roundly opposed by reps from North and Southwest. The only way to secure Biafra peaceful secession from Nigeria is through international diplomacy and lobbying of western powers like the US or Eastern power like Russia, any other way is an effort in futility. But have it at the back of your insensitive heartless mind that Nigeria will definitely disintegrate one day, the earlier you Yorubas realize this and start to put your house in order ahead of the disintegration of Nigeria, the better for you guys. Nigeria's disintegration is for the greater good of all Nigerians, you heartless Yorubas should stop seeing it as a bad omen, you should be happy about it, at least you have Lagos to start from to build your own country should that happen. Stop hating Igbos foolishly nairalanda1:Always repeating the same hogwash as if any nation ever disintegrated by the few agitators going to their national assembly to seek for separation.

franchasofficia: RuggedBiafran: Fascism confronts the proletariat as an exceptionally dangerous and frightful enemy. Fascism is the strongest, most concentrated, and classic expression at this time of the world bourgeoisie’s general offensive. It is urgently necessary that it be brought down. This is true not only with respect to the historic existence of the proletariat as a class, which will free humankind by surmounting capitalism. It is also a question of survival for every ordinary worker, a question of bread, working conditions, and quality of life for millions and millions of the exploited. That is why the struggle against fascism must be taken up by the entire proletariat. It is evident that we will overcome this wily enemy all the sooner to the degree that we grasp its essential character and how that character is expressed. There has been great confusion regarding fascism, not only among the broad masses of proletarians but also within their revolutionary vanguard, among Communists. At first, the prevailing view was that fascism was nothing more than violent bourgeois terror, and its character and effects were thought to be similar to those of the Horthy regime in Hungary [1]. Yet even though fascism and the Horthy regime employ the same bloody, terrorist methods, which bear down on the proletariat in the same way, the historical essence of the two phenomena is entirely different. Clara Zetkin, the Struggle against Facisim 1923 |

franchasofficia: RuggedBiafran: he crisis of fascism, about whose origins and causes so much is now being written, can easily be explained by a serious examination of the evolution of the fascist movement itself. The Fasci di combattimento were born in the aftermath of the war. They were imbued with the petit-bourgeois character of the various veterans associations which arose at that time. Due to their trenchant opposition to the socialist movement they obtained the support of the capitalists and the authorities. This aspect of the Fasci was inherited in part from the conflict between the Socialist Party and the ‘interventionist’ associations during the war years. They emerged during the same period when the rural landowners were feeling the need to create a White Guard to tackle the growing workers’ organisations. The gangs that were already organised and armed by the big landowners soon adopted the label Fasci for themselves too. With their subsequent development, these gangs would acquire their own distinct character – as a White Guard of capitalism against the class organs of the proletariat. Fascism still conserves this trait of its origins. But until very recently, the fervour of the armed offensive kept a lid on the tensions between the urban cadre – who are predominantly petit-bourgeois, orientated on parliament, and ‘collaborationist’ – and the rural cadre, which consist of the big and medium landowners and their tenant farmers Antonio Gramsci, the two Facisims 1921. |

franchasofficia: RuggedBiafran: Inner-Party criticism is a weapon for strengthening the Party organization and increasing its fighting capacity. In the Party organization of the Red Army, however, criticism is not always of this character, and sometimes turns into personal attack. As a result, it damages the Party organization as well as individuals. This is a manifestation of petty-bourgeois individualism. The method of correction is to help Party members understand that the purpose of criticism is to increase the Party's fighting capacity in order to achieve victory in the class struggle and that it should not be used as a means of personal attack. “On Correcting Mistaken Ideas in the Party” (December 1929), Selected Works, Vol. I, p. 110. |
