I'm convinced most of those shouting Biafra are low IQ clowns. If the Biafra you want consist of Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Ebonyi, be rest assured that war will not needed for these states to secede. If a referendum was held, majority of Nigerians will actually vote for a Biafra that consist of these 5 states to secede. I'm 100% sure even a nairaland poll will indicate Nigerians support a Biafra consisting of these 5 states secede. Now if you want to extend Biafra to include the oil producing states i.e. Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Cross River, you are on a long thing. The non-igbo residents of those states will never agree to Biafra talkless of the rest of Nigerians. I really fail to understand what the chest beating is about. The Igbo states have been exclusively ruled by Igbos since 1999, and they are no better than the rest of Nigeria. Infact Abia was probably the worst governed state in Nigeria under Ochedo, so what is the chest beating about. You clowns better find something useful to do with your time. 72 Likes 10 Shares |

Genius100: What if this is subjected to a referendum rather than making assumptions. Even if Abia was badly ruled, how does that justify the continued existence of one Nigeria where millions are presently in displaced camp, millions are on the verge of starvation as a result of unpaid salary in unviable states, the infrastructure are comatose and in dilapidated state. 15 Likes 4 Shares |

kettykings: Dude, feel free to conduct a poll on Nairaland and you will realize I'm 100% right. What I'm telling you is that Nigerians will gladly support the secession of a Biafra that consist of the 5 SE states. So let's stop the silly narrative that Nigerians do not want Biafra to secede. The only time there will be issues is if Biafra wants to forcefully take the oil producing states. The Ijaws, Itsekiri, Ibibios no go gree.. That's the bottom line.. 27 Likes |

Genius100: If that is the case then nigeria needs to stop harassing and arresting massob and other biafran activist as long as they are in igbo speaking cities as that slows down the agitation. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Genius100:You made some good points. Our people still fail to understand that when the chips are down, they will fight alone. The south south people will intelligently negotiate our people away to advance their interests and build consensus across other tribes. Why is it that you cannot feel the same vibe of Biafra in south south states? The average NigerDeltan prefers to do their own struggle inside a united Nigeria. Apart from that clown Asari, you will never hear a Nigerdeltan talk of secession. Our people have a lot to learn! 22 Likes 3 Shares |

dinachi: Most igbos really do not want to secede but do not want to stay in this one nigeria with the way it is run where a lot of killings is going on in some parts of the country and people look the other way, where states are syphoning niger delta money using population as a yard stick but generate nothing in terms of income tax.

dinachi:I love reading sensible posts like this. Nice one Op. Like I said before, all these people getting overly excited and giddy about "war" don't even know what a gunpowder smells like. When shiit hits the fan this time, they are not gonna read naratives on the pages of newspapers or elsewhere, they are gonna bear witnesses to the horrendous effects themselves, a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Much as I generally agree with the the OP, I have a few reservations. Suggesting that we learn to live in Nigeria is not it. On the contrary, Nigeria should learn to accept the Igbos into the Nigerian fold. Since the civil war, we've been more or less treated as outcasts in our supposed country. Despite the Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction mantra, not much has been done in the south east. How many states do the Igbo have as against what others have? Federal presence is virtually non existent in the east. The so-called International airport in Enugu is an obvious joke. Any move to build a sea port in the east is crushed. 2nd Niger bridge nko? There has been a deliberate and studied plan to undermine the south east. U can't keep treating me like a slave and expect me to be happy. Left to me, I would advocate REGIONALISM. Make all man develop at their pace. Again, if we wanted to split Nigeria, inter-tribal marriages wouldn't have stopped it. Who says you must be in the same country with your inlaws? I have friends with inlaws in Germany, south africa etc. Nigeria better get her act right. The polity is gradaully boiling. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Even d militants that have enough ammunition than we igbo's re scared of going head to head to Nigeria in an open war talkless of us...

you have said it all, my problem is that those shouting for war, have never experience none. How can we achieve biafra when some part of igbo land still pratice Osu system, is that not marginalizaton? We human beings are complex animal. We are agitating for biafra when we can't employ somebody from imo state to work in abia state government. To me Biafra is as good as dead. Ka udo chia! 21 Likes |

cocoduck:Have you ever sat down to ask yourself what you can do to make the country a better place and actually attempt to do same?? Have you ever imagined the failure of Nigeria might not be as much a failure of the FG as it is State Government?? Do you think the level of development in your state is commensurate to what the state has been earning at least since 1999?? Stop musing about the "zoo", make a paradise of it for yourself. No one will do it for you mr. As for the calling me lazy and parasitic, I'd let that slide. Made a commitment to leave the insults to kids around here and will NOT violate it. 27 Likes 2 Shares |
