You made few months but your analysis about loss of jobs in the army and parastatals are based on being ill equiped with information, Will biafra not have military to protect her territory. Also saying Biafra is improverished is baseless it is only in SE you see good index in the MDGs all over the federation. Anyway no sound person will answer crazyman any way |

Every tom, dick & harry now has an opinion on Biafran. Look at this semi illiterate writing griberish on something he obviously lacks knowledge on. Its apparent that most Nigerians that are benefiting from the status qou ante are already jittery that seccesionist struggle is gaining momentum by the day especially since the alliance between SE/SS & the massive protests going on in the Biafran territory. I did not bother myself to read the whole length of the nonsense that was written there. The i.d!ot said that d Easterners will lose their federal jobs in the army,navy, air force etc but he forgot Northerners already dominate the barracks & most federal jobs & as Biafrans are returning, they too will be leaving & d vaccum will be filled by us! People forgot that Nigeria was made dysfunctional through quota system to subdue the south since the north with their lazy & laid-back way of life cannot compete in a merit driven society. Such will not exist in Biafra & we will be like birds released from a cage! |

CSTR2: There is no country in this world where ALL of its citizens have their desired level of comfort. If every group takes to the streets because of discomfort, then their won't be any peaceful country in this world. We are channeling our anger at the wrong people! Unemployment, infrastructural decay, poor education and what have you are not as a result of the Nigeria you hate soo much; our state governors have contributed immensely to all these. But we all turn a blind eye on them. Even right now, I am yet to see any of the SE governor with sound economic and developmental blue print. So my dear, its not about comfort, we all want to be above our comfort zones. But this Biafra cause is one I can't support, becuase I will be blaming the wrong people for my woes if I do. 2 Likes |

MaziOmenuko:You keep shouting SE governors are looting, tell me which region where there leaders have not looted them dry also. why not you tell me what governors of other region accomplished for their own people? Like it or not we must continue to shout marginalisation until the issues raised are addressed. or can you tell me the reason why an anambra student will score 250 and denied admission whereas an ab0ki will score 90 and be admitted in same university? why discrepancy in UTME/cut off marks with that of SE callously high? what value has the quota system added to you when a qualified and more competent person is denied appointment in the name of quota system? or an unqualified ab0ki be made your boss in the name of quota? SE has 5 states others have 6 while NW has 7, why the unequal representation? and you feel these issues don't need be a dressed? That it wasn't achieved at the conference means you should fold your arms and be continuously trampled upon? and not sought for justice? Dont you see its because they enjoy the undue advantage thats why they(notth) want the status quo to remain? If you fail to see that these issues really need to be addressed then your case is beyond insanity 1 Like |

obailala:The SE as a whole does not get up to $15b as federal allocation for a year. What kind of meaningful development are you expecting? To build a high speed rail that would connect the whole SE would cost atleast half of that. Federalism that should give more economic powers to the state has been jettisoned. Are you Nigerians allergic to the truth? |

CSTR2: Guy, quite often it is the people that blow the whistle or expose the leader's crimes to the world. The law enforcement agencies only take over, to investigate and prosecute after the reports have been made. If the public is dissatisfied with how the investigation and prosecution is handled, the people take to the streets to demand the resignation of the leader. So your example of America is not totally accurate. |

tobiasbeecher:. Before seceding you need ask yourself some salient questions: 1.what will be your economic base 2. Biafrans working in Nigeria will all lose their job, hope you have a job for them 3. what structures and infrastructure will you fall back on. 4. How do you handle the Investment of Biafrans allover Nigeria. how do they deal with that. 5. What will be the economic mainstay . Before you begin to say oil, how many ND states wants to join biafra. 6. What is the infrastructure base of Biafra to keep it going. Most importantly, the instigator of the war have mentioned on several occasions that Biafra remains a huge mistake. which is why he even went as far as contesting for the top job in the land. Meanwhile, no one his forcing anyone to remain in Nigeria, we just want due process to be toed and not violence. 2 Likes |

laudate:Whistle blowers are priviledged to be in the know. Most of the electorates are definitely not in the know. Btw, whistleblower cases are not that common for obvious reasons. Most of the prosecutions were started as a result of efficient oversight of all state transactions and projects, and investigating unusual spending by the federal law enforcements. Btw, I am sure everybody in the SE has whistleblowed on orji and okorocha. Why are they not in jail yet? |

obailala: These same people voted for Mumuharri who promised to shred the said report and somehow you want them to fight to implement it. Now, who is being unrealistic? Nigeria is cruel joke and an embarrassment to right thinking black people everywhere. The designers of this abomination didn't do so for your benefit but simply for your exploitation. They made no pretence at building even the semblance of the foundations of a possibly united nation. If they had any intention of allowing this contraption to grow into a working whole, they won't have used two totally different administrative and legal systems to run the two halves of their booty. I am sure that even they would be faintly amused at your naivety (or should I say arrogance) in thinking that you can make it work as one cohesive whole for the benefit of the hapless wretches trapped in this colonial prison camp. Nigeria was only designed for one reason. Ease of exploitation. That is why successive neocolonial leaders have followed the operating instruction to the letter. A car is designed to be driven on roads. If you decide to fly it then you will have a big problem I don't buy the familiar "leadership is the problem" explanation. It's too shallow and lacks any empirical rigour. The SE is part of the Nigerian system and systems follow structure, while individuals modify their behaviour to suit the system. There is a famous psychology experiment called the Stanford Prison Experiment. Young men were divided into the roles of Prisoner and Guard and put in a prison-like environment in the basement of the Psychology Department at Stanford University. The study was meant to last two weeks. But the brutality of the Guards and the suffering of the Prisoners was so intense that it had to be terminated after only six days. The study provided a graphic illustration of the power of situations to shape individuals' behaviour. It has been argued that the Guards acted the way they did because they conformed blindly to their assigned role, as did he in his position as Prison Superintendent: Guard aggression … was emitted simply as a ‘natural’ consequence of being in the uniform of a ‘guard’ and asserting the power inherent in that role. Furthermore, because the Guards could not help themselves, they could not be blamed for their actions. Scholars have used this simple and powerful account to explain the atrocities committed by very diverse actors – from the suicide bombers who flew into New York’s Twin Towers on 9/11 to the American torturers at Iraq’s infamous Abu Ghraib prison. 1 Like |

Nigeria a whole is a mess not just the south east and we the populace especially the youth are to be blamed for allowing the politician to take us for a fool this long. We celebrate mediocrity and let the worst of the best rule us. Our problems lies in our leaders, the idiots don't have the masses love in their hearts. Leadership is about serving but in Nigeria it's about enriching oneself and it happens without impunity. A governor buys a wheelchair for a disabled lady it made headline in our society meanwhile it's the social responsibility of a state to help the disabled. Not just one but all. Today TINUBU commissioned some taxi in kaduna that means some 200 plus individuals are about to get taxi whereby they will be made to make monthly payments back to the state. Let's do the maths here, a kia cost 1 million for example but because of kickbacks Kia dealers sold it for 1.2 million. The state lied they paid 1.5 million , 200 pieces ordered that's 300 million spent plus another 10 million on ceremony . Fast forward 3 years all the Taxi are unaccounted for that's 300 million plus down the drain. In advanced countries state don't buy you taxi but only sell you license to run. In the village I lived in the UK not a single roundabout is been maintained by the local council all the roundabouts are sponsored by taxi company thereby saving the council thousands in wages annually. We just fell for the same trick they've been using since the 60s. We need the best leaders elected, when right and good leaders are in power the citizenry benefits. They bring quality leadership, best and bright ideas, investment, open up the economy wide open. Way too many opportunities in Nigeria, all the greedy bastards do is get allocation, pocket some and pay wages months in months out. 1 Like |

sukkot:The Igbo Nigerian reality is different from the Yoruba reality. Secession I believe is to create a chance for a fresh start, a chance to sweep away vestiges of Nigerian injustice and corruption. A chance to utilize the innate igbo potential to create a truly unified nation bounded by a common heritage. There is nothing crazy about that. Ofcourse, there would be challenges, but the shared heritage would generate the patriotism needed to overcome it. |

@OP you are 65% correct. I totally disagree with you on the aspect of SE States collapsing without FG monthly allocations. The FG allocation is what is even killing eastern states. SE states are blessed with human resources. A lot of untapped resources everywhere. Do you know that amount of money that exchange hands in Ariaria, Onitsha main market, Nkwor Nnewi, ogbete on daily bases. I won't ask u to visits Alaba, Lagos trade fair complex, oladipo etc. All the citizens wants is just basic amenities like Good roads, light,security. Ebonyi state can survive well without the FG allocation. Most stones and chippens used by those construction companies are gotten from there. Cement factory (NIGERCEM) at Nkalagu, rice production etc. We just lack sincere and had working leaders. IMO and Abia do have palm oil in addition to crude oil. Enugu also has Coal. |
