We've seen agitations here and there -rising day by day- from the south-eastern parts of Nigeria to revive the once dead spirit of Biafra.

Just this morning, i read an article By Nwabueze Okonkwo on Vanguard http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/im-still-committed-to-biafra-struggle-uwazuruike-2/

"Leader of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has charged his Igbo kinsmen to always disregard counter views or opinions expressed by the Imo State governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha with regard to the current efforts by MASSOB to actualize an independent state of Biafra.


He said that such counter-views or opinions always expressed by Okorocha against the actualization of Biafra “portends him as a common saboteur to the Igbo cause.”

In a statement to newsmen in Onitsha, Anambra State made on his behalf by MASSOB’s National Deputy Director for Information, Mazi Chris Mocha, Uwazuruike stated that although Okorocha had the constitutional right to express his opinions or views on any matter including that of MASSOB and Biafra actualization, he has no capacity to decide or determine what happens in Igbo land.

According to the statement, “Okorocha is aiding and abetting the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government in the continued marginalization of Ndigbo. He is also financing the central mosque near the Government House, Owerri, Imo State to the detriment of our people.”

Meanwhile, Uwazurike had again reaffirmed his determination to actualize Biafra as a sovereign, independent nation without violence within his life time, stressing that if he failed to get Biafra, then he would have failed to achieve what is expected of him to do.

Uwazurike, who made the vow at a MASSOB meeting held in Ojukwu Memorial Library, new Owerri, Imo State, said he was proud that no member of MASSOB had been charged for armed robbery, kidnapping or stealing in the course of the Biafran struggle, adding that such a clean slate was a credit to their non-violent posture.

He boasted that despite the killing of his members by security agencies from 1999-2015, his men had never retaliated or been found guilty by any court of competent jurisdiction.

“I came into the world to do one thing and that is to achieve Biafra and liberate my oppressed people from bondage in Nigeria." *End of quote*

Even some Nigerians in diaspora have joined the cause. Just last week, there was a protest in Hong Kong https://www.naij.com/622939-just-biafrans-protest-hong-kong-photos.html

Now I ask myself, what do the igbos want? Are they united with the jaws and others in the region against this cause? Or is it just some fraction of them hiding behind this subject to achieve another hidden objective? Well, no answers provided yet.

My primary concern is, can Nigeria do without any fraction of it? Be the Ijaws, Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas or others? That's going to be difficult considering how much we've integrated.

When this movement was started in 1967, Musa never thought he was ever going to leave the north to settle in another state in Nigeria. Now he has four houses in Agege occupied mostly by Igbos and others. Ebuka, the son of a palm wine tapper -Chukwuemeka, had not dreamt of learning a trade. Now he owns the biggest store chain across Lagos. Same applies to Ayoola the husband of Veronica who has been shuffling between four south-east states for over 20 years propelling multinational companies to places of greater height. I was looking at a list of wedding notifications on a scroll in my church and noticed that out of six weddings to take place in one day, four of the couples were to marry from other tribes.

It is easy for an ignorant person to say "Let them go"....or "Let Nigeria Divide".... In my opinion, you don't really know what you want. The implication of disintegration is, in most cases, usually devastating. The problem Nigeria is facing is a collective one, you don't run away from one problem to create another. Remember Sudan/South Sudan?

Nigeria was a secret British project that turned out to be a surprise. Fifteen years ago a parent of three sons advised their sons not to marry anyone that's not a Yoruba. Their first son complied. Seven years later the second son changed the equation, he brought in a Benin lady and fought his way through till his parents agreed. The last one married from Anambra. This happened in just a single family. Is that not a sign of development in tribal tolerance? Why would some fraction of people make us throw that away for reasons only best known to them? Sponsors say the Ndigbos are neglected. I believe they haven't traveled round other parts of the country to see the state of things and how people are living. I also believe no problem is peculiar to a fraction of the country.

What will it be like to have the states inside the red line in the below image deleted from the entire map? For me, I can't imagine a Nigeria without my Ndigbo brothers.

You were born a Nigerian? Really? The only reason you are a Nigerian is because Lord Lugard came to West Africa to give you that name. If Lord Lugard had not come, what would you have been born as? You would have been born as a "west African waiting for Lord Lugard to come give him a name"

A lot of Africans like you have slave mentality. You can't use your brain to understand that it is your right to decide your destiny. A white came and gave you Nigeria and a Nigerian you must be? Can you go to the White mans land to give him his own country without him hanging you? You're not ashamed of your self that the White man came from Europe to come tell you who you are and bastardise your ancestors with the name 'Nigeria'? That's why you Nigerians can never understand Biafra or the desire of a people to be free to create their own country.


Biafra is not about the Chukwudi doing business in Kano, the Emeka in Lagos, the Chike with mansions in Abuja or the Anayo prospering in London. These are foreign lands that got nothing to do with us. Biafra is about Biafra land and those who live in it. When we get Biafra, it will be up to Chukwudi, Emeka,Chike and Anayo to return home or face the music of whatever happens to them and their investment. And if they love their investments more than they love their own homeland, then that's their business.

Cure your self from mental and colonial slavery[/b]

Opinion is too shallow and this is what happens when sentiment beclouds a man's judgment.

Many Yorubas are married to British born men and women. Many Hausa have businesses in many part of the world outside Nigeria.

Mad people everywhere .

MrOrioye:
In My Shallow opinion, Many Igbos have businesses around the world than Hausas, likewise are Igbos married to more British citizens than any other tribe in Nigeria.

Can you mention something that the Igbos suffer but everyone else (Arewa, Oodua, MidleBelts) don't? A peculiar problem to the Igbos alone?

I believe you're in support of the movement yeah? I'll advise you stop hating as Okorocha said, let's address the problems of Nigeria together.

Are you aware that ever since the last Biafran Civil War, most Nigerians have been of the opinion that an Igbo leader (president) will not unite Nigeria? And that may be a problem again for Igbos to ever produce a president when this movement fails (as always)?

Did you read that "The war cost the Igbos a great deal in terms of lives, money and infrastructure. It has been estimated that up to three million people may have died due to the conflict, most from hunger and disease caused by Nigerian forces. More than two million people died from the famine imposed deliberately through blockade throughout the war. Lack of medicine also contributed. Thousands of people starved to death every day as the war progressed. (The International Committee of the Red Cross in September 1968 estimated 8,000–10,000 deaths from starvation each day.)" Quoted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War

How do you even see other Nigerians? I mean that your non-Igbo neighbour down the street. Do you look at him as the cause of the Igbo problems and hereby wants to kill him? Why start a war that almost destroyed most of your kin the first time you tried? How do you even think? Do you say to your heart "Whatever happens let it happen, we want BIAFRA at all cost even if people perish"?

MrOrioye:
Expression of hate could be so interesting. Unfortunately for you, you were born a Nigerian cos there's high possibility that you are not 55yrs old, which means you were born after the name was created. So whether you like it or not, no matter how you hate the name "Nigeria" and embrace your "Republic of Biafra". You can not erase the fact that you're a Nigerian.

Also whats this about slavery? Are you still enslaved? Do you feel like a slave in Nigeria? Well I don't feel enslaved. And the name Nigeria sweetens me everywhere i go that I'm always in a hurry to come back before schedule. If Lugard didn't give us the name, God will send someone else to do it and it will still be same name "NIGERIA". Have you seen a nameless country anywhere? I bet not.

Biafrans expansionist agenda was exposed loooooonnnng time ago, this time around everyone is fully prepared and any attempt to take what doesn't belong to you will only result in the fulfilment of the Biblical prophesy, " AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINING, SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END ".
This time around everything including chemical and biological weapon plus fetish shall be employed in the war, it won't be an act of wickedness to defend our land from land grabbing barbarians .
We did it before we shall do it again, aja to ba ma sonu, ko ni gbo fere olode, continue.
