You are the ignorant person here for not grabbing the message in my post, how will Biafra secede without the states i mentioned earlier? Will Biafra become a country inside Nigeria? Or in your very ignorant mind you think the NigerDelta region is part of your Biafra?

VintageCocktail:
Ever heard of Lesotho?

SweetSoup:
Yea but Lesotho gained independence from Britain. Nigerians political, ethnic and religious climate is different from that of South Africa.

It will serve as a reference and also a precedent if Biafra secedes successfully from Nigeria, nothing is written on a stone. Even Vatican, an independent state is inside Italy.

SweetSoup:
Honestly i have nothing against Biafra seceding from Nigeria and if it does happen, it will serve as a huge precedence for other region like you stated, i would also like to see a NigerDelta Republic. I am just looking at the political climate in Nigeria and how it might negatively impact on the economy of Biafra. If Biafra becomes a reality without states like rivers, akwa ibom and cross rivers who borders other country, it may be very difficult as the Nigerian govt could close all boarders (expecially the states mentioned) as it did during the civil war, which may affect the economy of Biafra. Just my opinion though

Since the nigerian constitution does not make provision for referandum,what else
Anyone who thinks nigeria will hold a referandum for SE/SS,just like that...hmmm,think again.

If another civil war is what it will take for biafra to be actualise.....so be it.

HAVE YOU WITNESS WAR BEFORE
I Live in the North and have had several Near-War Experience... My Dear It's not Palatable at All
Be careful what you wish for!!!

In times past, the Igbos had been yearning for seclusion, to have their own government and jurisdiction. Its high time we fulfil their wish. Its not like Nigeria can`t exist without the Igbos. If they are planning any form of crisis, they would fail at it. The other three regions of Nigeria, out number them in size and everything. C. Odumegwu Ojukwu who was a known ruler of the Igbos, failed on his quest of dividing Nigeria. Who`s next?
I really don`t know the motive behind these schemings. They want to become a country which would perish in a short time. All I see is Biafrans gasping for breath... Biafran government my FOOT!

I believe if Igbos do really, seriously, genuinely and sincerely want Biafra nation, they will have it without a shot of gun. They do have all the human and material resources to achieve this. However, it seems the people leading the secession campaign have no clue as to what they want or how to go about it.

Moreover, with all due respect, it seems most Igbos would prefer to be in Nigeria than Biafra. I may be wrong but this is why a referendum is so important. Imagine, few months ago, the Scottish were demanding for their own country. They got a referendum but majority of Scots prefer not to leave UK.

Why I'm saying all these is that, if Igbos achieved Biafra by force through arms, it's most likely that, there might be an internal divisions among tribes, states within Biafra. This is why the way to go is through a referendum.

Unlike in the 60s, Nigeria now practice democracy today and I believe if Igbos unites and, with one voice demand for a referendum Via the United Nations, nothing can stop them. South Sudan did it, Eritrea did it, Ukrain did it, Scotland recently did it( though they fail but they're not giving up), 'Barcelonians' and some small towns are currently demanding for their own country in Spain. There are hundreds of nations within nations demanding for referendums in order to have their own countries.

So, people demanding for secession must always adhere to best option of separation which is PEACEFUL separation. This can always be done by first demanding for a REFERENDUM. Demanding for a referendum in order to determine whether to remain as part of a country or whether to secede is not a crime. What is a crime is when people take up arms to fight a democratic institutions. This may lead to a full blown war and War is not a child's play.

coolzeal:
You don't want them to leave yet, The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie marginalized them in every political and public sectors of the country. It is better to fight our own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity. God bless Biafra.

biafra is synonymous to selfishness which has been exhibited by three favorite delegates : dieazani, Okonjo iweala and PEJ. even the Ojukwu played a fast one and cowered leaving his people to suffer. but they never learn

disumusa:
ibos are just noise makers, they refuse to understand that you can go or ceseate with tribes that you've oppresed b/4 i.e one ikwere river man told me that if they want to buy land during region govement all payment will be made at enugu, that was when ojuku,ibo stole the property,land they claim to be abandon property.

vatican is not an independent country they only have authonomy, and that is what yoruba want and not to seprate selfishly.

OoduaVanguard:
Am all for Biafra, but they need to start moving en-masse back to the SE to speed up its actualization. There's no way in hell Yorubaland will host secessionist Ibos. Hell no. That will be dangerous for our security. The more they clamour for Biafra, the more other Nigerians begin to look upon them with suspicion. They should all move to the SE and I will take them seriously.

SOUNDKING:
Abeg me dey look for way to join the Biafra army...someone should please enlighten me.

Wow! SECONDED O! SECONDED SECONDED!! INFACT, THIRDIRDED!!!!!!
But ofcos, nay sayers will not read this well before they decend on the truth with insults. I am glad we still have the likes of you in this country

OoduaVanguard:


Bull shyt! Ogun state alone has more industries than the entire SE combined -- FACT. You are confused, the same you are complaining about marginalization and now you reel out false stats about your 'advancement' compared to other Nigerians? ? Your land is cursed with erosion, it is barren. No industries, no jobs, hence why your folks keep leaving that enclave in droves -- FACT!

https://www.nairaland.com/2322312/ogun-state-nigerias-emerging-industrial

Even your billionaires are not investing in the SE. Ifeanyi Uba has only ONE petrol station in the entire Anambra, his main investment concerns are located and situated in the SW. Ditto Emeka Offor, Ditto Arthur Eze, Ditto Coscharis. I visit the Anambra, Imo, Enugu threads and your people there are always attacking their rich people for fleeing the SE -- they simply refuse to invest in the SE!!!!! Even the Enugu Int'l Airport sef, they've refused to patronize it -- they would rather fly all the way to Lagos to board international flights that could easily be boarded at Enugu!!

Before the Enugu Airport was upgraded you all boasted that it will take much traffic away from Lagos, yet they refuse to use it, is it the Yorubaman's fault? You people are just pathetic. Full-stop!

SweetSoup:
Its clearly obvious that the pain of defeat has affected your brain, your brain is so damaged by Buhari's victory, it can no longer comprehend or process information. I didn't insult you in my earlier quote unless you consider the word "ignorant" which you called me first as insult, neither did i post any negative comment against Biafra in my post. I was just being objective by stating one of the conditions that could affect the Country of Biafra becoming a reality, but you brought politics and abuse into it. I am from the region known today as South South (NigerDelta) and i know for a fact that my state or region is not part of your Biafra. So i ask again and this time answer the question in a mature way, will Biafra (Republic of Igboland as you called it) become a country inside Nigeria if as you put it the "expendables" from the South South did not join? And before you go back to South Africa and all, Lesotho neither fought a civil war nor secede from South Africa, she gained independence from Britain.

dckelvin:

BRO
YOU ARE RANTING HERE.
HOW MANY TRUCK WILL YOU SENT TO EBONYI STATE TO PACK UP THE MILLIONS OF HAUSAS HERE IN EBONYI STATE DOING THEIR BUSINESS.
YOU YORUBAS ARE SO DAFT AND SELFISH TO EVEN THINK THAT IT'S ONLY THE IGBOS THAT ARE LIVING OUTSIDE THEIR LAND.
IF NOT THAT I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN YOU AS A NOISE MAKERVI WOULD HAVE BEING WONDERING IF YOU ARE MENTALLY DERANGED.
