EUROBOMBER:
I want to start by saying that I am not in support of Biafra or any attempts to break Nigeria but decided to do this write up because of some comments I read on nairaland lately. I am not in support of war and bloodshed; I am a man of peace and justice.

Nigeria will not survive a second war. Any other full blown war would lead to the complete disintegration of Nigeria and here are my reasons:

The Igbos lost the Biafran war because we had to take on the rest of Nigeria largely alone, the North and SW fought against us supported by parts of the SS. The Nigerian military was heavily armed by the Soviet Union and Great Britain and had a limitless supply of weapons. We had no access to the sea and our people were starved to death which swelled our casualty figures.

Unlike in 1967, the SS will not give Nigeria the kind of support it did during the Biafran war. A lot of SS people are not happy with Nigeria and many are already calling for a referendum, some are even calling for outright war with Nigeria so that they can break away. The SS have realised their errors in frustrating the Biafran agenda and would do all they can to help ensure the collapse of Nigeria should another war break out. They might not join the Igbos, but they would give all their support to end this union first so that they might be on their own instead continuing to bear the dead weight of the Fulani from the North.

The people of the MB will not join the core north this time to fight against the Igbos. These people are being systematically wiped out by the invading fulanis who are planning to annex their lands for cattle grazing. I have personally interacted with a lot of MB people and they are full of regrets about their role in the civil war. In the event of another war, the MB will rise up against their killers from the far north. If the Fulanis continue to kill the MB people at the current rate, then it is a matter of when not how they would eventually wipe out the MB people and take their lands.

The Yoruba would not want to be involved in any fight against the Igbos again especially if the Eastern army makes no advance towards the west like what happened during the last civil war in the march to librate Lagos from northern occupier army which had occupied the west. I am not a Yoruba man but I doubt very much that the Yoruba would willingly just jump into battle to assist the core north. The Yoruba would do all they can to try and stay out of any fighting and would prefer to be on the fence. They might however be forced into the war from either flank.
The Nigerian military is currently tied down in a frustrating battle against boko haram in the NE. Boko haram has international dimensions to it and might not end any time soon. There are foreign powers that want Nigeria to split and these powers would ensure that with a full scale war, Nigeria breaks into different parts. The Nigerian military will not be able to fight on two or three major fronts because even the military itself will crumble considering the fact that our soldiers are drawn from the various tribes. The Fulani soldiers would be isolated; the Igbo and SS soldiers would withdraw to defend the East, Yoruba soldiers would withdraw to defend the West and the MB soldiers would use the opportunity to vent against their killers.

At the end of the day, there might not be much fighting before the centre crumbles and Nigeria breaks to parts. The Igbos lost in the 1967-1970 civil war but a repeat war would yield a completely different result and that result would be the end of Nigeria.

This is a message for all those writing rubbish on nairaland, running their mouths and boasting that we would be defeated in another war. I thought I should open this thread to set the records straight for those that cannot see the writings on the wall and not to create an avenue for tribal fighting.

You are one of the few individuals I respect on this forum even though we are almost always on opposite political sides, but I think you are mistaken. Ojukwu premised his decision to secede in 1966 on similar analyses and failed miserably. The real question is who wants a civil war and why?
I hear a lot of igbos taunting the Yorubas for not wanting their own country,as if Yorubas are the only ethnic group that has yet to give up on Nigeria. Nigeria is bigger than waxobia (Yoruba, igbo and Hausa) . Last time I checked igbos are the main instigators of the clamour to destroy the Nigerian state. I don't hear ibibios or anangs clamouring for it, neither are Nupes or Esans, or Urhobos. Yorubas will not be blackmailed into a spot by Biafran apologists, we will decided of and when we want to leave Nigeria and on our own terms. Bro, again I ask, WHO WANTS ANOTHER NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR

harde2lah:
OduaVanguard has said it all. It's not as if the Yorubas too are not tired of Nigeria. in fact, almost every ethnic group wants this failed marriage to end, but Nigeria has gotten to a point where breaking out will be an herculean task. Yorubas have businesses outside the south west, same for the Ibos, Ijaws et. al. In as much as everyone is tired of this 'zoo', we have to thread carefully. The ibos are the only agitating for war, but do not know that they are most vulnerable in the event of war. Nmadi kanu has brainwashed the average ibo man to believe that the Yoruba and Hausa are his problem. Your warning should be directed to Kanu and his fellow minions. If they want war, they should bring it on.
Be careful what you wish for (it might just happen)

PedroJP:
Even without civil war again, Nigeria is bound to crash "totally".

SLIDEwaxie:
pls, fight.

that's all av been agitating for. an average easterner lives on hearsay and not facts...

have u checked tour history and realized why most countries are avoiding war?

the world balancing of power has a reason...the setting up of international courts and union of countries is to avoid war...

so far, the whites have been wise, and they only take wars outside their lands..

the aftermath of war has a psychological effect that may not leave your unborn child...

you fools!

EUROBOMBER:


Nnamdi Kanu has only brainwashed okada riders and not the average Igbo man. That said, this is not a call for war, I stated this in my write up. Stop talking any bring it on rubbish, the fact is that any full scale war in Nigeria of today will engulf everywhere but on the other hand, the fighting might not even last long before the country disintegrates, write my write up again and understand the reasons I submitted.

oduastates:
The analysis for the MB is a bit faulty.
the MB is as dependent on Niger delta oil as the far north and south east .
Their interest in oil revenue intersects and supersedes all their other differences

EUROBOMBER:


No, no, no! i have personal done a research on this. you don;t know what it means to have invading fulanis destroying your houses, breaking open the heads of your children like melons and ra.ping your women on a regular basis. Do a research and find out what the MB is suffering at the hands of the invading fulanis then you will understand better.

EUROBOMBER:


You got it wrong, not even all the Igbos are calling for a war although some are shouting Biafra every now and then. What I am trying to say is that the situation now is very different from what it was in 1966, this is 2015. The MB of today will never join in any fight against the East not after all the bloodshed the core North has inflicted on them. Do you know what is happening in the MB? take some time and do a research and you will understand better where I am coming from.

The Niger Delta of today would do anything to throw off the dead weight of the core north unlike in 1967 whn they were made to see the Igbos as their enemies. A lot of water has gone under the bridge bro. You must also factor in the fact that the Nigerian military only wins when they have overwhelming advantage, just check our records and even now with boko haram.

Besides, wars don't seem to end these days, look at what is happening all over the world, wars tend to be everlasting.

I hear a lot of igbos taunting the Yorubas for not wanting their own country,as if Yorubas are the only ethnic group that has yet to give up on Nigeria. Nigeria is bigger than wazobia (Yoruba, igbo and Hausa). It is in fact a conglomerate of hundreds of ethnic groups.

Last time I checked igbos are the main and primary instigators of the clamour to destroy the Nigerian union/state -- even the ijaws are now mellow and engaging Buhari and the APC constructively even if largely still in opposition politically.

I don't hear ibibios or anangs clamouring for it, neither are Nupes or Esans, or Urhobos. Yorubas will not be blackmailed into a spot by Biafran apologists, we will decide if and when we want to leave Nigeria and on our own terms. Bro, again I ask, WHO WANTS ANOTHER NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR?

seunmsg:

The South South is a very unpredictable region because of the numerous tribes that make up the region. But one thing is very clear, most non Igbo tribe in the SS doesn't want a country where the Igbos will be the majority. Nigeria will easily enter into agreement with them and they will turn their back on the Igbos again once the war start. Please read Dinachi's opinion on this in the thread he opened.

Your a yolobaman and I never expected anything different from what you wrote afterall its only igbos that are being in North why your people are giving Kirishi and Suya to eat while the killings go on.

In a country where some sections of the country are giving affirmation action while others are made to be brought down.

An igbo won't vote for his candidate in lagos or he will be drown in Lagoon but will vote and be voted for in the UK and Poland.

Anambra and Imo kids will score 139 and 138, while Ekiti and Osun kids will score 95 and 92, but Yobe and Zamfara kids will score 3 and 4 to gain admission in a school own by federal government of Nigeria.

Igbo youth corps members will be killed because Buhari lost an election while Hausas walk free when Jonathan lost.

Igbos are killed in Nigeria because of Cartoon Riot that happened in Denmark while Igbos in Chad, Niger and Senegal were free.

Igbos will be killed because Bonke is coming to Crusade in Kano but those in Lebanon are spare when the Pope visits the country.

Igbos are killed when Nigeria wanted to host Miss World but not when Qatar and UAE hosted similar events.

Am not saying yolobass are killed, Yolobass are not killed please, you can stay in Nigeria with you best friends and enjoy everything you wish like your enjoying now in the 8th assembly.
