These people should learn from other agitators that are no more ..they should count themselves lucky that Ibb is not the one in power . He would have arranged aeroplane for their leaders to come up to Abuja for negotiation & end their agitations in mid-air. When somebody comes with a mindset to set things right & you have not given him just a year to see what he would do before you go on mindless unrealisable agitation,the land would be worse off. Let us see what PMB has to offer even with the resent economy downturn ..we have to be reasonable in all that we do in life. GEJ sold oil for 100 Dolars plus,deceived the Igbos without achieving anything tangible in the region..some selfish leaders collected money & sold their conscience even when it was apparent that the man has nothing to offer.. Now the downtrodden are bearing the brunch of leadership recklessness ..time to sit up 3 Likes |

I pitty disunited people of biafra and their lack of understanding, I stand to say this and I will still say it tommorow, what uwazurike used massob to achieve is the same thing nnamdi kanu wants to use ipob to do, everybody needs attention and I believe in my own reasoning that this nnamdi kanu wants to come back to Nigeria and settle down and the way to be recognised politically is through this medium and that is why he came up with different name and may be different ideology . Secondly, where the people of south-smmouth during the biafra war, they said they are not part of biafra and king sarowiwma stated categorically that south-south people are not biafrans and the biafrans were betrayed by them, therefore, why now? Is it because their son jona loose an election, a task he was incompitent or inexperienced to handle acording to ibb and if jona had warn, Nigeria as a nation would'nt have known the enormous problems we have, everything would have been blancket. Igbos be wise, wisdom is not garagara, it is cunny u are to achieve ur goals. This south-south people will still deny u. 1 Like |

You don't seem to realize the mess it makes of the speaker because I believe this kind of darting around is common in Igbo land, and possibly even praised, encouraged and admired.

Is it not true that Igbo slave hunters hunted slaves across multiple villages in Igbo land and came and sold them to the chiefs, kings and merchants of our kingdoms? Now if you cannot point out just one area in which I lied, is there any reason why anybody should waste their time listening to you, except to observe how erratically out off point or logic you seem to have a love for straying? As for my people, we are not like Igbos, haunted by an inner deep felt feeling of inferiority and therefore going about, screaming around "We the best.

It has come to the notice of Directorate of State (DOS) of
Indigenous people of Biafra that some elements are
parading themselves as the spokesperson(s) of IPOB, hence
giving order and making unofficial statement regarding the
wave of peaceful protest that is sweeping across Biafra
land and other parts of the world, calling for Restoration of
Biafra and unconditional release of the leader of IPOB and
the Director of Radio Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu including
others in various prisons across n.iGERia.
The self appointed spokesperson(s) of IPOB who called for
the suspension of the protest across Biafra land have no
mandate whatsoever to make such statement without
reaching to those that have the mandate to do so. The
Directorate of state want to inform the world and to
Biafrans in particular that those appointed and approved by
the office of Deputy Leader and that of Directorate of state
(DOS) as IPOB spokespersons are:
1. BARRISTER EMMA NMEZU
2. Dr. CLIFFORD IROANYA.

spokesperson of IPOB is a...Read more from the link below; http://www.thebiafratimes.co/2015/12/biafra-peaceful- protest-across-biafra.html 1 Like |

Charly68:[size=13pt]If you think it is about Buhari, you are making a mistake and you do not know these Igbo people. We who live here know it is connected to some deep-rooted inferiority complex. I am from the south-south and I know that Igbos supported Jonathan because they hoped that in 2019, it would make the idea of an Igbo president more feasible (something they long for with all their hearts so they can say that they rule Nigeria, are smarter than everyone else, and are on top). So when GEJ lost earlier this year, they saw those dreams of an Igbo presidency in 2019 wash away like an ice cube in the midday sun. So it was easy to see them swing back to the other thing they swing back to (an agitation for Biafra). Around elections every time, these two things (the presidency and Biafra) are things they simultaneously increase agitation for. You can see that is why Ijaws are not complaining about Jonathan or secession like these. These people are crying more than us Ijaws whose son was president. And of course we never believed an Igbo man would be fielded by the PDP for president in 2019. But you know how the Igbos convince themselves about anything they want to believe.[/size] 3 Likes |

[s] coolscott:[/s] You are nowhere comparable to the Igbo Nation. And in this modern age you have barely and shamefully survived by being stooges and weak-minded, ass-licking fellows. Just at the mere mention of Biaf... you cry, shout, whine, yell, curse, weep, wail and gnash teeth with thick mucous dripping down your smelly noses as if your whole essence in life is being taken away from you. What a pity that loud-mouthed land-grabbing empires are now reduced to miserable, ass-licking bigots! Let me take you down memory lane just for you to understand who the Igbo was in pre-colonial era so that you will cease displaying foolery and flaunting it as knowledge in the public. "The benefits of such a mode of living are obvious. The West India planters prefer the slaves of Benin or Eboe to those of any other part of Guinea, for their hardiness, intelligence, integrity, and zeal. Those benefits are felt by us in the general healthiness of the people, and in their vigour and activity;" "Thus we are all habituated to labour from our earliest years. Every one contributes something to the common stock; and as we are unacquainted with idleness, we have no beggars." - Oluada Equiano - A true igbo man (the first african slave to write an autobiography)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaudah_Equiano Have you forgotten that soon after the civil war how you wicked bigots and hypocrites connived and robbed Easterners of their hard earned money in banks and gave £20 to only those who could prove they had bank accounts? You parasitic ingrates proceeded to use the stolen funds to buy up the numerous companies established by the colonial masters, looting the companies and rendering them bankrupt. And that was the beginning of the collapse of the Nigerian economy. Till date the economy is yet to recover. FYI, Imo airport was built by the people of Imo state; almost everyone contributed even little kids to make the airport a reality. Acknowledge the simple fact that Igbos fare better than your tribe despite your numerous treasury lootings and federal government presence. The Igbos have the highest concentration of middle-class citizens while squalor and penury pervade your enclaves. You can see the reality in the shocking manner of how many of your favourite States are in comatose with many of its civil servants surviving on the good gestures of concerned Nigerians. FYI, the Igbo States are the least affected by the falling crude oil earnings. Go and ask Fayose why Ekiti government had to send some of its citizens to the SE to learn a skill/trade in a bid to grow the economy of Ekiti State.

arresa: If the mouth can be used as AK-47 guns, Yorubas would have been a world-power by now. Has Yoruba fought any modern warfare? The war Yorubas fought was with matchete and spears...and you call that war! Can you even stand the sound of shelling? Did your fathers ever heard the sound of bombardment or shelling? Only the noise of Ikeja bomb blast of 2001 you lily-livered creatures ran for life only to perish in the canal in your multitude. Yoruba's contribution in the civil war was as limited as nothing. The foot soldiers were predominately from the Middle-belt and the North. Yoruba's contribution was basically in loud noise-making! Did you hear a hint from IBB about your cowardly tribe, that if he's woken up from sleep and informed that there's a coup led by Yorubas, he'll simply go back to sleep? Frustrated disciple of anger, slavery, hate and propaganda, see if you can acquire some sense from the sensible comments of one of your sane folks. bolabolakemi post: A Nigerian by the name of Kanmi Ola Falase, fed up with his people’s unusual obsession with anything anti-Igbo or anti-Biafra, took to social media to express his frustration and dislike at such mentality from South Western Nigeria: “How about carrying placards and taking bullets for Oduduwa Republic, in lieu of denigrating Biafra? It’s one thing to be riled vehemently against the agitation for Biafra on Yoruba soil; it’s another thing to be reminding the Igbos of the borderline fictitious benefits they’d regret to relinquish if they rightfully remain implacable about Biafra and break away from nigeria; it’s a different thing to always abuse, taunt and threaten the Igbos with war and total annihilation for being rightfully hellbent on exercising their inalienable Natural Right to Self-Determination, as a landed or indigenous people looking to control their own destiny; hence desirous of calling it quits with the coerced, stifling, fruitless, irredeemable MI6/CIA joint venture, aka one nigeria. Rightfully, the Yorubas may not be favourably disposed to Biafran agitations within the Yoruba space, but why rather is the tendency too common amongst the Yorubas to always howl and yelp against the Biafra agitations that are initiated and carried out in some other terra-firmas different from an organic catchment of Yorubaland? Ewo ni gbeborun-un ti Yoruba ninu oro? Why is it a concern for the Yorubas whether or not the Niger-Deltans would eventually allie with the Biafrans? Why are the numerous lots of latterday “directionless” Yorubas easily counted amongst the loudest choristers belching recurrent hymnals of putting up with the nigerian charade — on the appeal to cowardice discredited platter of being cautious of inevitable war? If some Yorubas don’t support Biafra, it would be rather much better to necessarily observe some humane and rational measure of neutrality, and not blindly copy the new fad of suicidal support for the prevailing grievous and utterly dire overcentralized political alternative in a useless one nigeria, as to be found miming the discredited chorus of corruption is the single main problem. Corruption is but a symptom of something far more foundational and treacherous: the irredeemable systemic miasma of an overcentralized multi-ethnic nigeria. The main and fundamental problem is the valueles ideal of an indivisible useless nigeria. There’s no point howling against any people who, by any means necessary, seek the resolution of the nigerian question into various truly independent, workable and vibrantly organic Pan-African republics; even less so for the beleaguered, yet disoriented, Yorubas to stand at the forefront of issuing out cowardly reprimands against the rightful agitations of any people desirous to foremostly take charge their own destiny, as against rather taking charge the Yoruba destiny.” -Kanmi Ola Falase http://naijapropa.com/biafra-yorubas-lets-mind-our-business-and-face-our-own-issues-by-kanmi-ola-falase

Re: IPOB & MASSOB Suspend Pro-Biafra Protests by Nobody: 4:25pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
Orobo2Lekpa: MASSOB was the foremost group and it was all about love and tolerance based on Gandhi principles. But the Nigerian government brutalised, imprisoned and killed many of them extrajudicially. MASSOB is a non-violent group, dedicated to champion Biafra cause through diplomatic approach. Those days they could not be accused of carrying out inciting messages or ethnic bashing of other groups. But sooner than later Igbo haters capitalized on their peaceful disposition to bash the igbo Nation while inciting the security operatives to manhandle them as b.astards and jobless people. The incitements were heeded when many MASSOB members were criminalised, mowed down and sent to their early graves by the Nigerian security forces. MASSOB members led by Uwazurike were extrajudicially killed during the administrations of OBJ, Yaradua and Jonathan. MASSOB was peaceful but they were maltreated by agents of government. Some MASSOB non-violent fathers were paraded as criminals and mocked. Ezzu river was the height of it all; where many of their corpses were dumped and left to rotten in the open. Uwazurike more or less functioned in mainly burying the dead and life went on as if nothing happened. https://www.nairaland.com/1196670/ezzu-river-five-lgas-worry Nnamdi Kanu of today was once a MASSOB member. The violence the Nigerian government metted on MASSOB produced a war-ready IPOB. And should the government continue to unleash violence on IPOB there isn't any other option left but the right to self-defence as promoted by NK without mincing words. The only solution to the impasse is a simple referendum to be allowed in IPOB zones to prove if majority are comfortable staying as Nigerians. Nnamdi Kanu championed IPOB with a different approach. Since the arrival of NK on the scene, MASSOB has two factions - one loyal to Uwazurike and the other led by one Uchenna Madu and in consonance with IPOB until recently Uwazurike was expelled for working as a government agent and at variance with the ultimate course. The truth is none of the hypocritical bigots running their mouths now against Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB ever came to the defence of MASSOB when they were being criminalised and slaughtered. |
