cramjones:
The biafran people where massacred, raped and sodomized by the Nigerian forces. The government of Yakubu Gowon created an embargo and prevented food and essentials medicines from reaching the people of Biafra, thereby leading to the death of over a million people. Recall that the jews all over the world still remember the massacre of 6 million jews, but the Nigerian state have chosen to ignore such despicable genocide against the Biafran people. General Yakubu Gowon should be a war criminal facing trial at the ICC, but today he is being celebrated.

For those of you that have never experienced war, you will never know that peace is the greatest gift you can ever have. There is no Nairalanding or facebooking at the time of war, what you see is death, rape, disease and hunger! It is horrible! We must find a peaceful way of resolving the issue of Biafra. War is should never be an option.

For the first time, I actually read one of this dude's topics. Nice write up by the way.

On development in the east: the new Abia state government is really picking up, give him a couple of years more. Massive construction is going on in that state right now. Only Imo is left behind because of okorohausa.

On sea port: I hope you know during the Biafra war, igbos used cargo planes to trade. They engineered planes to become heavy duty carriers Wch was used to trade. It was faster and somehow cheaper for to trade with. Biafra can easily refer to that pattern of trade once more.

On economy: Biafra is the current home of nigeria's largest indigenous companies. Although sales are still local, they can easily engineer there products to reach international standards like China..once they do that, they're unstoppable.

Southeast has the highest number of research facilities in the Nigeria. Eg; PRODA..this only means there is more growth to come

IPOB123london:
The yorubas can cry as much as they want.
we dnt give a toss. Biafra is here.

Just read the write up. I shake my head. I reiterate the oduduwa with their useless attitude will be worse than the zoo

Listen to him. Sit down and talk to Nnamdi Kanu. Haha. I Keep saying this, just because we share the same skin colour does not replicate we are one people. We are Biafrans for heaven sake.

The fear of Biafra hahaha. We expect more of these useless writings in the coming weeks.

Laid2001:
OK, now write this your post in any Igbo Dialect and see how many people will understand you!

Ephemmm:
[/s]

I doubt it if this Biafra lunatics read the write up. Op mentioned another disintegration which somebody like Isaac Boro has tried under the former Easter Region to liberate Ijaw people from Eastern part, but which was subdued by the same Igbo former President all to protect the interest of Igbos over minority.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Singapore. if Qatar and Singapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like Qatar and enjoy their oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!

For your information, it is now obvious that Igbo primary interest is separation from Nigeria with Niger delta as their trophy.

jpphilips:



You must be taking those lunatics too seriously, first I am yet to hear any Igbo Elite push for Biafra, Chinua Achebe only sold his books with the status quo which is understandable from a business point of view.

The Elites of Igbo land are feeding fat from Nigeria and have interests neck deep in Nigeria which a Biafran struggle will mar, those interests will stop at nothing to silence the struggle so don't bother about that.

Take out Radio Biafra and you will not year of Biafra again in 2016.

Phinity318:
Attention: Nigeria is one, It's high time the igbos realise the fact that we are an indivisible sovereign state.

laudate:


Guy, a lot of pro-Biafran supporters were NOT born during the war, but their forbears have fed them with a lot of propaganda about events that occurred during the war.

It is that same propaganda, tribalism and hate that they are now recycling in their agitation for Biafra 2.0 version. Just check all Nnamdi Kanu's speeches on Radiobiafra and kindly do a content analysis of all his supporters responses, on Nairaland.

Am glad you used Botswana as an example of a land-locked country that has thrived on the African continent. Do you know why?? They have worked hard to maintain excellent relations with South Africa and Namibia, primarily because all their imports and exports go through the ports of these countries. They even partnered with Namibia to construct a dry port along the axis leading to Walvis Bay, in Namibia.

With the kind of hate that pro-Biafra supporters keep spewing out towards the non-Igbo on these threads, do you think their proposed countries will be able re-enact the kind of relationship Botswana has with its' neighbours, in Biafra if the Akwa-Ibom & Cross-River ethnic groups do not join their proposed country?? I think not.

There was a Bight of Biafra b/4 Nigeria existed, but not a country of Biafra. “Bight” means exit from shipping lanes. The bight was named by Portuguese seafarers.

3. It may be likely that the people of Rivers, Cross River and Akwa Ibom may not want to join Biafra, but until you ask them, you can’t state this categorically.

It is common sense for them to reject Biafra, first the Biafran struggle is fueled by the "indigenous peoples right 2007" while the lunatic Kanu forgot to tell them there is an addendum to that called "indigenous land right" all UN backed laws.
On whose land right will Igbos claim the resources in Akwaibom land? secondly, those SS states fare better than their SE counterparts, it will amount to parasitism if they should join Biafra. Lastly, there are no 100% igbo speaking zones in those area which is a major requirement for a UN backed referendum, except they are ready to fight a war that will humble Nigeria and subjugate the SS people, then I see no Biafra beyond the SE part of the country.
Selling a prosperous Biafra to the SS is a tough sell because, the SE presently is a deep sh!t. That is why Nnamdi Kanu is doing a "tongue sell", convincing them that they all speak the same language as such qualify as brothers
I really don't blame him because in far away London where his madness started, he never knew that beyond the Ikwerres in Phalga, no aboriginal person speak Igbo till Cameroon mountains.
How do i even expect him to know that anyways, his plan makes a mockery of the UN guidelines hence, he is just a scam feeding fat on people's ignorance.

4. While being a landlocked country is not ideal, it is no impediment to development. Switzerland is an affluent landlocked country. One of the most stable and relatively developed countries in sub-Saharan Africa is Botswana and it is landlocked (the highest ranked sub-Saharan country in the UN Human Development Index).

5. Nigeria needs to address the Biafran agitation in a mature and democratic way. We can learn from the Scottish and Catalan independence movements. Nobody is suppressing their rights to agitate and they are doing it democratically.

Naijiant:
My brother,

The propaganda, hate and "tribalism" are on both sides of the debate. This is why I called for a mature and democratic approach to Biafran agitation from both sides.

You make a good point in reference to what I said about Botswana.

I have argued elsewhere that Nnamdi Kanu would not even recruit many sensible Igbos with his approach:

dialfa:


Igboland is in Nigerdelta. We Igbos can never cede any part of our land to anybody based on the zoo created boundaries. If ijaws want to be alone, no Igbo will ever stop them but to term niger delta the exclusivity of ijaws or any other ogogoro drinking minority is asking for trouble.

Stop confusing tribes with zoo regions.

Ojukwu did not unilaterally declare Biafra even though he was the recognized military governor of the Eastern region. He was mandated to declare Biafra by the Eastern region house of assembly and if he had not declared Biafra he would have been taken out of the picture and his replacement would have declared Biafra.

Rapture007:

U are simply half-educated. U tink the talk of Genocidal action by Federal Government led by YAKUBU GOWON against pple of former eastern region is just restricted to starvation? please go read about, Asaba Massacre, The killing of Igbos b4 the war started. I wouldnt tell ur about Awo's role in the whole war because it seems u knw little about it.Ur example of Boss-employee situation really showed u simply got the story about the war from ur ignorant and noisy elders.
Go to Job section and look for a way to get yourself somthing meaningful, u must not comment on evry post.

I think you completely misunderstood the point that guy was making, Asaba massacre, was during the war and the Pogrom was before the war, now if you bring all of them under the canopy of Genocides, where will you place Abagana massacre, perpetrated by the Biafrans and other scores of atrocities committed by the Biafrans in the Niger delta region?
Do you think that the SS/SE animosity started today? i dey laugh, ;Dkids of nowadays!!

philcz:
Saw a map of the proposed biafra with a part of Benue state which is in the North Central included and i laughed.
NOTE: No Biafran should nurture the hope of including any part of Benue how ever small into this biafran project or else We'll show everyone once again how we denied Usman Danfodio entry into our land years ago and how we changed the course of the civil war.. Nigeria may be a zoo but we are the lions of this zoo...

You must be high on your grand mother's feces

chudyboy05:
Trainings is ongoing and many have been recruited and very soon #Nnamdi Kanu will be the one smiling and laughing to the zoo govt. We are not going back cos our eyes don open and Biafra is what we want. No zoo called Nigeria for us again. We want to put things together for the future ones to come cos this old politicians don't give a dame for thew zoo future. All Hail#Biafra umu Chukwu Okike Abiama

Kangaroos feeling important,

jpphilips:
As for Botswana, having a high human development index, it does not in any way signify a prosperous nation, is a calligraphy of deception smuggled in to make your argument relevant, individual citizens efforts can account for that more than the impact of the government, even if I choose to accept your position for the sake of argument, I can tell you that with Federal allocations and IGR to biafra in present Nigeria, has only a sh!t hole as results.

ECONOMY OF BOTSWANA

Since independence, Botswana has had the highest average economic growth rate in the world, averaging about 9% per year from 1966 to 1999. Growth in private sector employment has averaged about 10% per annum over the first 30 years of independence.

At the start of the 21st century, however, the economy of Botswana stagnated up until the early 2010s when it registered for the first time since the economic boom a GDP growth up above the 6-7% target. Botswana is also commended for the site of Africa's longest and among the world's longest economic booms (which almost surpassed that in Asia's largest economies). The relatively high quality of the country's statistics means that these figures are likely to be quite accurate. The government has consistently maintained budget surpluses and has extensive foreign exchange reserves.

Botswana's impressive economic record has been built on a foundation of diamond mining, prudent fiscal policies, international financial and technical assistance, and a cautious foreign policy. It is rated the least corrupt country in Africa, according to international corruption watchdog, Transparency International. By one estimate, it has the fourth highest gross national income at purchasing power parity in Africa, giving it a standard of living around that of Mexico and Turkey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Botswana
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The southern African nation of Botswana has defied the global economic downturn of the 2007-2009 great recession. Instead, it exemplifies the recent transition of economic growth in favor of low-income countries as it jumped from recording one of the world's lowest per capita income figures of $70 to a middle-income level category of $16,300 within a few decades.

Botswana is leaning towards becoming the Singapore or Hong Kong of southern Africa. More importantly, Botswana's progression of economic growthmanship has become the envy of its neighbors, as well as a source of inspiration, which they should consider emulating.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nake-m-kamrany/botswana-economic-growth_b_2069226.html

Radiobiafra during the evening broadcast yesterday announced that the Millions man March will be on coming Friday, 6th of Novemeber, 2015. According to the Head of Directorate of Biafra embassy located in Spain. He said the protest will be on the creating awareness on the dother termination of Biafra to become a sovereign state and protest the continued extrajudicial detention of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to him, this will be done in all Biafra cities including SE, SS, Igbanke, Idoma, Igalla, etc.

We are watching... shocked

when it is time for any event to happen, no power on earth can stop it

You may want to read my post that you responded to in relation to the OP that I was replying to.

It may be “common sense” for the people of Cross River, Rivers, Bayela and Akwa Ibom to reject Biafra. My argument is that it is not for us (me, you, Cram Jones, or whoever) to reject it for them. My guess may be that they would reject Biafra, but I can’t state that categorically as a fact until they are asked.

You should read what the OP said about landlocked Biafra being a recipe for failure. My point is that just being landlocked is no guarantee of failure. So I pointed at successful landlocked countries. I didn’t claim Biafra would succeed. The claim is that being landlocked doesn’t mean you must fail. I have no interest in a debate about generating power b/c I am not an expert in the subject, but there are rivers in Anambra and Enugu and there is coal in Enugu too.

When Shagari pardoned Ojukwu, the latter joined the NPN and denounced Biafra. He formed APGA to run as president of Nigeria. Democratic principles dictate that people have a right for their views to be heard as long as it is within the law. There are people agitating for Texas to separate from the US. It is when you suppress debate and lawful forms of agitation that you allow demagogues like Nnamdi Kanu to prosper.

see this zoo man
instead of planning how to liberate your oduduwa from fulani occupation you wan get headache for another man matter and are providing advice to perpetuate the zoo
you dirty lot really love your zoo

According to the Biafrans, the Abagana massacre never happened, or it remains "unsubstantiated."

jpphilips:
Another History deficient student, how can the Eastern house of Assembly dissolved in 1966 as a result of the coup and decree 34 that ensued resurface to mandate Ojukwu a military administrator to declare Biafra in 1967?
This generation is so empty, little wonder Nnamdi Kanu could feast on you guys. How can a military administrator be over seeing a House of assembly? does that not prick your dumb brain for a second?
Empty baboons!!

NDIGBO, OJUKWU & BIAFRA: WHERE DID WE GO WRONG (PART II) by Osita H. Olisa | Nigeriaworld.com

... .To pursue and grab this machiavellian power to its logical conclusion, "Your Excellency, the People's General, EZE GBURU-GBURU NDIGBO," had first to provide credible instrument of cover so that Ndigbo would see things not as they are, but how Ikemba wanted them to see things. Eastern Nigeria Consultative Assembly was the consequence. Eastern consultative assembly was created as a ploy instrument and diabolical cover with the pretext of giving itself the appearance of legitimacy and authenticity as representative voice of the masses.

Would it be any surprise that Eastern Nigerian Consultative Assembly was populated with hand-picked rubber-stamp stooges. Some of these hand-picked members of Eastern Consultative Assembly were in every shape, manner and respect analogous to their carbon-copies of the distant past during the dark era of slavery in African history.....

Majority members of Eastern Consultative Assembly were simpletons and crass illiterate local chiefs who can barely discern their left form right. How troubling and infuriating that these Eastern Consultative Assembly members were the people that mandated "Your Excellency, the People's General, EZE GBURU-GBURU NDIGBO" the authority to declare Sovereign Republic of Biafra.

Would it be any wonder how these people with limited intellectual abilities and gravitas would understand the implications and intricacies of secession project they were handpicked to midwife, legislate and give birth to...? http://nigeriaworld.com/articles/2003/aug/253.html

On the evening of Saturday, May 27th, 1967 the joint session of the enlarged Consultative Assembly and the Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders, after full deliberation, passed a resolution the text of which is as follows:

“WE, THE CHIEFS, Elders and Representatives of Eastern Nigeria, gathered at this Joint Meeting of the Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders and the Consultative Assembly do solemnly declare as follows:

..... WHEREAS the Federation of Nigeria has forfeited any ‘claim to our allegiance by these acts and by the economic, political, and diplomatic sanctions imposed against us by the Federal Government.

“AND WHEREAS the object of government is the good of governed and the will of the people its ultimate sanction;

Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of these arid other facts and injustices, we, the Chiefs, Elders and Representatives of all the Twenty Provinces of Eastern Nigeria, assembled in this Joint Meeting of the Advisory Committee of Chiefs ‘and Elders and the Consultative Assembly, at Enugu this 27th day of May, 1967, we: hereby solemnly:

(a)MANDATE His Excellency Lt.- Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria to declare at the earliest practicable date Eastern Nigeria a free, sovereign and independent state by the name and title of the REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA.

(b) RESOLVE that the new REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA shall have the full and absolute powers of a sovereign state, and shall establish, commerce, levy war, conclude peace, enter into diplomatic relations, and carry out, as of right, other sovereign respon­sibilities.

(c)DIRECT that the REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA may enter into arrange­ment with any sovereign unit or units in what remains of Nigeria or in any part of Africa desirous of association with us for the purpose of running a common services organization and for the establishment of economic ties.

(d) RECOMMEND that the REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA should become a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations Organization

(e) RECOMMEND the adoption of a Federal Constitution based on the new provincial units

(f) RE-AFFIRM HIS Excellency’s assurance of protection for the persons, properties and businesses of foreign nationals in our territory.

(g) DECLARE our unqualified confidence in the Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, Lt.-Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, and assure him of our unreserved support for the way and manner he had handled the crisis in the country.

So help us God.” http://www./biafra_proclamation.htm
