You talk of landlock as if River Niger can't be dredged.
Have you heard about the Panama Canal?

How many countries make use of it? [/quote] I wonder at some pipo's ignorance nd disconnectn frm reality. So u mean u can stil hav d rights to dredge across Nigerian territory (Niger-Delta) witout due permision frm Nigeria if eventualy Biafra (Igboland) emerged an indpndnt country? Where in d world does dat happen? If dat is d case, Republics of Niger, Mali nd Burkina-Faso wuldn't hav bin landlocked since d same River Niger flows across dia lands down to Nigeria nd into d Atlantic Ocean. These countries wuld hav since dredged d River Niger right across Nigerian territory unilateraly witout seekin Nigeria's permission, just as u fantasizd here. In respect to d Panama Canal u mentioned, d Republic of Panama thru which d Canal passed in its entirety is not landlocked at all. Panama as a country is sandwished btw two seas (i.e. d Carribean Sea nd d Pacific Ocean), nd d Canal connectd d two seas.

I have keenly observed the current events that have led to the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the Biafran movement. I have mixed reactions to the events that have transpired and have communicated my thoughts to the Nigerian Presidency. I will attempt elucidating my thoughts here.

1. I am of the opinion that the call for Biafra is legitimate: Firstly, Biafra existed before Nigeria was created. It was made up of people with similar cultures and language (with majority tribe being Igbo). It is perfectly legitimate for the original inhabitants of the country to yearn to have back their country and resources under their control. However, I do not believe that Biafra is a viable solution at this time.

2. During the Biafran war it is estimated that at least 1 million people of largely Igbo extraction were killed! This is no doubt in mind a genocide. However, the Nigerian government has made a fundamental mistake by:

a. Not recognizing it ever took place, or playing down the number of those that died for political reasons, only serve to fuel violence and the call for secession.
b. They have also made a major mistake by not even having a memorial day to remember those that died during the genocide - This action alone will give a sense of belonging and would foster a deepened National unity.

3. If the government does not look into the creation of a true federation whilst implementing its pseudo-federalism, and pretend that a genocide never took place, then the dissolution of Nigeria or even the metastasis of the Biafrian movement becomes inevitable.

4. Despite the premise I have laid out, I still do not think a Biafran state is viable. This is why

i. The Eastern Goverments are fundamentally corrupt; A visit to present day Imo and Abia will attest to the corruption and rot that have plagued the region. These leaders have all FAILED to develop the east with the resources given to them. If they had made the East the "dubai" of Nigeria, everyone including the international community would have taken the cry for Biafra serious. The argument would be if the "Biafran leaders" can develop their region with the "little" resources given them, it is only fair they secede and do even more for their people and their region. However, this is not the case. A Biafran state will only lead to another mini civil war, and a fight for resources and wealth among Biafrans.

ii. Since 1970 when the war ended the geo-political dynamics of the Biafran region has changed. For example the people of Rivers would not want to be part of a country where their individual tribes become a minority. Same will go to Akwa Ibom etc. This will then lead to a disintegration of the original Biafran state, and would lead to a battle for resource control.

iii. If the above happens, Biafra would essentially be a landlocked country, and this can lead to an invasion and fight of Rivers, in order to fight for port control, oil revenue etc. Igbos will definitely need the ports since most of them are international business men, and won't afford to pay regions like Rivers for all the billions of dollars of imports that takes place in the region.

In summary, an eventual Biafran state through a peaceful referendum will lead to a situation worse than South Sundan.

Way forward:

1. President Buhari MUST as a matter of urgency look into the white paper of the national conference and work assidiously with congress to make sure he implements true Federalism.

2. We must as a matter of urgency accept that at least 1 million Igbos where killed and establish a day to remember these precious lives that were gone. We must go a step further to make sure we teach this history to our kids, and not ban it from being tought in schools.

3. If the Federal government treat the Biafra issue with kids gloves, we may have something worse than Boko Haram in our hands.

4. Release Nnamdi Kanu immediately! Sit down with him and lay out your plans to resolve this issue. It would be a disservice to the Igbo people to compare the rise of Boko Haram with this present agitation, but history has thought us that as dynamic and complex Nigeria is, we MUST as a matter of urgency address the agitation of the Biafrans, before it metastasize to a problem bigger than Nigeria. A stitch in time saves nine!

Personally, I have shared these thoughts to my friend and brother Femi Adeshina with the hope that he would communicate this to P.M.B.

It is my hope that this does not destroy our country in our very eyes.

This writeup is rather simplistic

It's too late for any sort of reconciliatry initiative

This Cram Jones write up is a very great one. I want to focus on what he referred to as corruption of Igbo leaders. The real problem is lust for power. It is actually a problem that plagues the whole of Africa, especially Nigeria. It is actually the reason why it is so difficult for Africa to develop. Every person lusts for power, for personal gains (corruption). No person cares about progress of the society. A people who care for progress of the society will look for the best hands to pilot the affairs of the society and everybody will gain. It is very unfortunate that the average Igbo does not care about progress of his/her society. It is always me first; the society can go to hell. That is one clear reason why a Biafra republic is bound to be a great disappointment. Igbos will never allow the best hands to pilot the affairs of Biafra. See what happened when Soludo contested for governorship of Anambra State. Even though he presented a manifesto that only Awolowo could ever have presented something as interesting as it, Peter Obi killed any possibility of such a manifesto being experimented with.

i have already done that but the fact that your eyes arent facing your own side makes me look at you. how can i turn away when i hear my neighbour trying to break my fence?

IMO take your biafra and dont even look at one inch of NIgerdelta soil.

that's the problem with you minorities
you want to remove Igbos from their niger delta soil
Never!

Ijaws should stay in ijawland and stop eyeing Igboland

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

I have to say that a sovereign state should jave citizens who are patriotic to the motherland they believe in. The Nigerian marriage is not real and the politics of the land has underscored and worsened the situation. Since love is already lost, the people should be allowed to determine their destinies. Nigeria is divisible because several nations with situations not as complicated as this have been through same in the past, what makes Nigeria different? You should not force a people to what they don't aspire to be "It was all a Selfish arrangement of the British! Thanks

We Niger-Deltans ar not eyeing ur Igboland. Even if ur Igbo communities/lands agreed to join ur Biafra, ur dreamed Biafra wil stil remain landlocked surrounded at all sides by Nigeria. because no Igboid community in d Niger-Delta borders d coast or hav direct access to d sea.

I thought there were no Igbos in niger delta or is your ogogoro starting to clear?

Landlocked, airlocked, waterlocked or any other lock, no problem as long as it is Igboland with Igbos, it is ours.

Access to the sea is overrated.

Talk true!

This is not a country.A place where something that happens in Denmark will initiate the killing of innocent people.Fulani herdsmen kill with impunity and unabated.No respect for the sanctity of human life.None will be apprehended.Yet they tell us that the unity of this country is sacrosanct.What if the solution of the problem lies in the unity?....

uduokirika1:
Go back to your history books

Have you heard of the Asaba Massacre? Where innocent civilians were summarily executed was that also part of conventional warfarism?

If Hitler could be accused of Genocide for killing innocent civilians during WWII why are the likes of Obasanjo, Buhari, Gowon still walking free?

In August 1967 Biafran troops captured Ore town in wester Nigeria but not a single civilian casualty was recorded, but when the Fed troops drove them back to Onitsha they decided to transfer agression on innocent civilians!

The Awolowo position in "all is fair in war" is genocidal, 'cos UN chater on conventional warfare protects the lives of women, children and the aged. Biafrans are not saying they needed food from Nigeria but blockading and destroying same from willing donors was contrary to laid down rules of engagement! Are you are aware that a Red cross aircraft carrying food and medical supplies was shot down in 1968 by the Nigerian airforce?

Like I said earlier go back to your history books, It is on record that that the Nigerian lost more combatant soldiers than the Biafran troops during the war but the Biafrans lost more civillians!

Most of the aerial bombardment carried out by the Nigerian troops were targeted on civilians soft spots like schools, churches and market places!

In all, no one is advocating for war rather a peaceful resolution to issues on ground. Butt nigeria's constant negligence and downplaying the effects of the aftermat of the civil war has brought with it a new wave of agitations!

NOTE: over 90% of those clamouring for Biafra today never witnessed the the civil war, what that simply entails is that the scares are yet to heal and the Nigerian govt of the day are not helping matters!

Let me stop here 4 now

First, I am a bit surprised that this thread is still active.
No. You are the one that should go back to school for thinking its only the Nigeria troops that committed atrocities.
You think you have monopoly of knowledge and every other person is inferior.
Yes I have read about the Asaba massacre and I think it is horrible. But I also think it is even more horrible (even more unpardonable) that we have people who will deny the atrocities committed by the Biafran troops in the Midwest.
In your myopic view, you failed to see that I acknowledged that the Nigerian troops committed heinous atrocities. But in your typical "na me holy pass" attitude denying any wrong doing of the biafran troops. And that is why I asked if the biafran troops were singing and saying the lords prayers in Benin.
How do you want Nigeria to apologize for its atrocities when you people fail to accept you committed crimes too - let alone apologizing? War is bad for everybody and there are bound to be civilian casualties on both sides. It is only chest-beating, self proclaimed righteous people that won't see that.
You better dust your history books again before clinging to your false sense of "righteousness" that the biafran troops did not kill any civilian in benin and going by your submission, even the account narrated by Alabo Abiye are all fabricated https://www.facebook.com/alaboabiye.akkioabbey/posts/10153267949980028

As for Awolowo's action, I have answered that before with readily available fact on the net. But suffice to say that it is the Biafran soldiers that should be tried for war crime for starting a war without adequate preparation and provision for their people - and even when the supposed enemy sent food to women and children, the biafran soldier went ahead to hijack it.

I saw the kwashiorkor victims.
If you see a kwashiorkor victim, you’ll never like war to be waged. Terrible sight in Enugu and Port Harcourt. [b]Then I enquired what happened to the food we were sending to the civilians. We were sending food through The Red Cross and Caritas to the civilians in Biafra, but what happen was that, the vehicle carrying the food would then be taken to the soldiers to feed them and so they were able to continue to fight. And I said that was a very dangerous policy;we didn’t intend the food for the soldiers, but who will go behind the line to stop the soldiers from ambushing the vehicles that were carrying the food? And as long as soldiers were feed, the war will continue and who’ll continue to suffer? (The Civilian masses that were already suffering and having kwashiorkor I suppose).And those who didn’t go to the place to see things as I did, you remember that all the big guns, all the soldiers in the Biafran army looked all well fed after the war, it’s only the masses of the people that suffered kwashiorkor. You won’t hear of a single lawyer, single doctor or single architect who suffered from kwashiorkor, none of their children either, so, they waylaid the foods, they ambush the vehicles taking foods to the civilians and took the food to their friends and their collaborators and their children and the masses were suffering. So I decided to stop sending the food there. In the process, the civilians would suffer, but the soldiers will suffer most and the war would end quickly.-Chief Obafemi Awolowo.(PUNCH October 8, 2012) [/b] Source: http://saharareporters.com/2012/11/29/war-against-biafra-abdulrazaq-o-hamzat

HOW DD IGBOS STARTED THE BIAFRAN WAR? PLZ YOU NEED GOOGLE... ALL ONLINE PARASITES THAT WONT SEARCH AND READ MEANINGFUL THING ON NET

By seceding. In case you dont know it's illegal and a treason. This was what caused the US civil war too.

I dont need google to learn my country's history. At least not the wikipedia article that clearly was written by igbos.

Dont get me wrong. Seriously i wholeheartedly support biafra in spite of the troll baiting nonsense i wrote about the igbos.

I support biafra not because you're self styled victims or oppressed. But because in the 21st century if some people have the right to marry from the same sex, other people have the right to seek for autonomy or even independence. Our rights as humans have expanded for better or worse.

But like i say, the methods you apply are wrong. You cant play victim and aggressor at the same time, not when you need sympathy and support.

By seceding. In case you dont know it's illegal and a treason. This was what caused the US civil war too.

I dont need google to learn my country's history. At least not the wikipedia article that clearly was written by igbos.

Dont get me wrong. Seriously i wholeheartedly support biafra in spite of the troll baiting nonsense i wrote about the igbos.

I support biafra not because you're self styled victims or oppressed. But because in the 21st century if some people have the right to marry from the same sex, other people have the right to seek for autonomy or even independence. Our rights as humans have expanded for better or worse.

But like i say, the methods you apply are wrong. You cant play victim and aggressor at the same time, not when you need sympathy and support.

WE ALL FORGOT THAT HAUSAS WER D FIRST TO SUCEDE B4 BRITISH WENT AND BEG DM... INSTEAD OF DOIN D SAME TO EASTERNERS

You're conveniently forgetting history.

Igbo military officers executed prominent northern leaders for no reason.

Northerners spontaneously massacred igbos in retaliation

Ojukwu used that as a basis to secede.

The federal military government began its police action to degrade the rebels and halt the armed secessionists.

If the igbo had not assassinated our leaders they'd be no pogrom against the igbos.

So yes, you people started it.

What entitled you to any grievances?

You honestly expect your people to murder prominent northern leaders and northerners to just swallow it and let bygones be bygones? Not with the caliber of people you murdered in cold blood.

It's your people who came to our house to kill our leaders and expect to be celebrated.

Believe me no one in the north wants to enslave the south east, for there is nothing there of interest for us. We envy neither your erosions nor your poverty. Certainly we do not want your moral retardation.

Your enslavement is in your mind, just as is your victim mentality.

If you desire biafra, just be good and ask nicely and we promise we'll take it under advisement.

But if you think saber rattling is the option then so be it. Just dont call it genocide if yet again you start what you cannot finish.

I have keenly observed the current events that have led to the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the Biafran movement. I have mixed reactions to the events that have transpired and have communicated my thoughts to the Nigerian Presidency. I will attempt elucidating my thoughts here.

1. I am of the opinion that the call for Biafra is legitimate: Firstly, Biafra existed before Nigeria was created. It was made up of people with similar cultures and language (with majority tribe being Igbo). It is perfectly legitimate for the original inhabitants of the country to yearn to have back their country and resources under their control. However, I do not believe that Biafra is a viable solution at this time.

2. During the Biafran war it is estimated that at least 1 million people of largely Igbo extraction were killed! This is no doubt in mind a genocide. However, the Nigerian government has made a fundamental mistake by:

a. Not recognizing it ever took place, or playing down the number of those that died for political reasons, only serve to fuel violence and the call for secession.
b. They have also made a major mistake by not even having a memorial day to remember those that died during the genocide - This action alone will give a sense of belonging and would foster a deepened National unity.

3. If the government does not look into the creation of a true federation whilst implementing its pseudo-federalism, and pretend that a genocide never took place, then the dissolution of Nigeria or even the metastasis of the Biafrian movement becomes inevitable.

4. Despite the premise I have laid out, I still do not think a Biafran state is viable. This is why

i. The Eastern Goverments are fundamentally corrupt; A visit to present day Imo and Abia will attest to the corruption and rot that have plagued the region. These leaders have all FAILED to develop the east with the resources given to them. If they had made the East the "dubai" of Nigeria, everyone including the international community would have taken the cry for Biafra serious. The argument would be if the "Biafran leaders" can develop their region with the "little" resources given them, it is only fair they secede and do even more for their people and their region. However, this is not the case. A Biafran state will only lead to another mini civil war, and a fight for resources and wealth among Biafrans.

ii. Since 1970 when the war ended the geo-political dynamics of the Biafran region has changed. For example the people of Rivers would not want to be part of a country where their individual tribes become a minority. Same will go to Akwa Ibom etc. This will then lead to a disintegration of the original Biafran state, and would lead to a battle for resource control.

iii. If the above happens, Biafra would essentially be a landlocked country, and this can lead to an invasion and fight of Rivers, in order to fight for port control, oil revenue etc. Igbos will definitely need the ports since most of them are international business men, and won't afford to pay regions like Rivers for all the billions of dollars of imports that takes place in the region.

In summary, an eventual Biafran state through a peaceful referendum will lead to a situation worse than South Sundan.

Way forward:

1. President Buhari MUST as a matter of urgency look into the white paper of the national conference and work assidiously with congress to make sure he implements true Federalism.

2. We must as a matter of urgency accept that at least 1 million Igbos where killed and establish a day to remember these precious lives that were gone. We must go a step further to make sure we teach this history to our kids, and not ban it from being tought in schools.

3. If the Federal government treat the Biafra issue with kids gloves, we may have something worse than Boko Haram in our hands.

4. Release Nnamdi Kanu immediately! Sit down with him and lay out your plans to resolve this issue. It would be a disservice to the Igbo people to compare the rise of Boko Haram with this present agitation, but history has thought us that as dynamic and complex Nigeria is, we MUST as a matter of urgency address the agitation of the Biafrans, before it metastasize to a problem bigger than Nigeria. A stitch in time saves nine!

Personally, I have shared these thoughts to my friend and brother Femi Adeshina with the hope that he would communicate this to P.M.B.

It is my hope that this does not destroy our country in our very eyes.

Very rubbish article.

U need to learn a lot of things...

We're staying in the north. It's you people coming here to make a living.

If you're so concerned about children that died in a so called genocide 50 years ago why are you then threatening to condemn more children to death today with your violent predisposition to secession?
