Funny enough, I have absolutely no reservation about your desire for Biafra, I'm definitely not one of those for or against, completely indifferent and neither would I ever do anything to discourage you in your bid to leave Nigeria, nonetheless, you have no RIGHT to enforce a sit-at-home order on anyone on Friday, you cannot arrogate the power of the state institutions to some set of people that have no such right. That is my disagreement.

Are you sure it is my posts you are reading?
For I am so sure i never at anytime talked about enforcing a sit at home protest.
I simply said, I am staying home with my family.

You are trying hard to sound neutral, when your emotions have spoken loud enough on where your heart belongs.

Tommorow is the D-day, I will stay home with my family.
Sno work, no school.
Morrow, we shall have a history class in my home.

They will learn
that Mongo Park never discovered the Niger.
That Nigeria (Niger Area) was created by slave traders.
w how the terrorists called Usman Dan Fodio invaded and enslaved Northern Nigeria.
that Boko Haram and herdsmen are still on the mission and vision of Dan Fodio.

they learn of the crises that led our fathers to declare independence
and how Gowon bombed our churches and markets. hear details of the.

Then will understand why we want our freedom.

After now, we shall formulate a way to teach our children our history.

Ok, i see u are truely Igbo. Now, do u prefer we continue to suffer and die and see no reason to agitate just to have peace ? Can't u see the conpiracy in this nation Nigeria ? Why are leaders from other tribes afraid of settling things with us through discussion ? We have been sacrificing since the wat ended, why are they afraid of making a little sacrifice to adjust their position with us in this nation if we demand so ?

Nobody forced anybody to join but cordination is needed to achieve a result as there are enemies within. It is not all ablout feeding or what u will gain, sacrifices are needed in certain stages of life. Just a day sit at home for our collective interest won't send one to his grave. Moreover, not like it was suddenly announced, it has been announced at least three weeks b4 time to get us all prepared.

Just the way it affected these Bishops, we pray it affeccts other activities so that its discussion and way forward will commence soon.

I am not trying to make u see reason to join the agitation regards to u not being an enemy but i need u to see that there are things keeping us all ( all tribes ) down just because of hate. Policies that would move us forward will be held back just because it is seen it will favour some people hated. They in power see it that such policy is better not carried out than have it empower some certain people.

Nobody from our side hates anybody. We all know what we lose or gain in Nigeria. There is no way majority of our people would have such intent on Biafra if it is not in our interest.

Mind you, i'v said all without talking about religious games underground too.

THE SUFFERING MUST STOP! I detest the current configuration of the country. I want nothing ore than equity. You are a sensible person. Your points are clear and on point. You are using reason and tact in your statements. But most of the people who want to split use all kinds of hate speech towards others as if we all aren't black people. I can't understand how we can be this way.

My beef isn't with anyone but the people who allow criminals to loot the commonwealth, allow people to kill our women, men and children under the guise of herding and any other poor forms of governance. All I want is justice.

The last time they called for a shutdown of markets and people who didn't oblige had some of their stores attacked. A few days ago some touts were arrested for threatening traders who hadn't yet agreed to sit home.

There is a growing group of people who say Biafra is their religion and Kanu is their savior. That is what bothers me. The cult like groupthink is what is so dangerous.

noblezone:

It is only a silly Igbo man that need to be harassed before he shuts down his business for this protest.

If I have my way, I will go round markets with canes and flog some common sense into the empty heads of us little minds.

It is far better than shooting people while they are sleeping and burning there houses.

j am participating willingly and it has nothing to do with Nnamdi Kanu
. He is only a symbol of the struggle. He is a dot in the ocean.

Cursed be the white witches that invaded our lands in the name of colonialism.

So what you are saying is that if someone doesn't support the "cause" the should be beaten if you had your way?

I agree with you about colonialism.

The important question you should be asking is why Nigeria is a country that breeds discontent and militancy in every part of it.

See! Now that's critical thinking! The setup at present is wrong but that's not to say we can't get it right. Personally, I believe every zone has been shortchanged and is being done dirty by the politicians. There won't be rest for the wicked until they change their ways.

Imo, they're only telling people to stay at home for their own safety. If it really is true that the Nigerian security forces are bulking up then that spells danger for anyone who walks outside of their homes. Innocent people- both IPOB and non-IPOB members- have been murdered just for being in the same vicinity as the protests so it's not a far fetched idea that the Nigerian security forces will be shooting people at will. How is ensuring that as little as possible life is lost an example of tyrannical behaviour?

I see what your saying but their intent isn't what you are explaining it to be. I've read articles where people are being harassed and forced to stay home. Traders who want to earn on those days are being told to stay home not for their safety but for a showing of "solidarity." I don't support the brazen shoot first ask questions later approach of the military either.

Pprovost:

It's funny how the east will watch and allow IPOB to turn to another BH. When BH also started, majority of the northern Muslims thought they were fighting for a good course. hmmm

We could never allow it to degenerate to such a level if for nothing else history is a great teacher. The fact we are talking about it right now shows it won't be allowed.

I'm 100% against the physical force that has been used against my people. I just don't like the new wave of attacking any divergent thoughts on the subject. As soon as I disagree I'm disowned and told I'm no longer an Igbo man. What gives?

proeast:
You are not making sense so stop this I'm Igbo tantrum because nobody cares where you are from & for all we know, you might as well be an imposter! Revolutions from time immemorial requires sacrifice. We in the East can afford to sacrifice a day even if it means to starve a little so we can be in solidarity with someone who sacrificed his freedom & enjoyment for our collective good & also to help project our demand for independence or justice through resource control. WE THE REAL IGBOS SUPPORT IPOB & NNAMDI KANU SO WE WILL SIT AT HOME TOMMOROW!!!

Tantrum? Not even. I'm emphatic because I am continuously called out of my name. Imposter? Who has the time? Don't flatter yourself. Sacrifice is only worth something when done voluntarily. You can't force people to not earn involuntarily. That's not a sacrifice that's suffering. I support resource control 100%. Stop insinuating you are somehow more Igbo than the next an due to your support of IPOB. That's disrespectful in ways you couldn't imagine.

carmag:

why are you claiming to be Igbo and you can never be Igbo if you are not Igbo...

when fulani herdsmen killed our brothers u didnt bother on how pple will feed.

when nnamdi kanu was arrested on october 14 last year and buhari has not been able to find a concrete evidence against him u didnt bother.

when catholic reverends were killed in enugu by fulani herdsmen and buhari and fg didnt say any thing substantial to the attack you didnt bother.

if u ever support biafra, how do u think the restoration can be obtained if not for or through peaceful demonstartion.

oh, now i know, u are smarter than the rest of us in the struggle.

dont worry i know cowardice is obtainable everywhere. say no to injustice.

Seriously, when did we become this rude and lose all manner of decorum? You disgrace yourself when you spew such vitriol.

Now to answer your questions.

The 145 is reflective of economic downturn. I'm not happy with it and I voiced my displeasure with the increase. I've spoken about the herdsmen activity being illegal and needing to be stopped many times.

Kanu had guns did he not? He requested guns to fight the gov't at the 2015 IWC did he not? Kanu transmitted his broadcasts illegally did he not? Kanu entered the country illegally did he not? He's done wrong will have to answer for it. If anything, if he is innocent he should be calling for an expedited case rather than bail. If he is clean his chi will see him through.

Buhari's pr tea has been terrible. I've said this numerous times. He may personally mean well but his presentation is piss poor. He needs to return to whoever was advising hi during the campaign because he's doing too much wrong at present.

I have no problems with peaceful demonstrations but forcing people to participate is my issue.

Please refrain from calling me a coward. You don't know me nor my deeds. Trust me I've put in work.

Please do not join in false rumour. I understand that the stay at home protest is billed for tomorrow 23/09/2016 so, how can you say they are harassing anybody already? The Bishops decided to call of their meetings, not that IPOB asked them not to meet. From experience, the security forces might begin their unwarranted confrontation and arrests which could lead to violence. I don't blame the Bishops for calling off their meeting. Wait until tomorrow before you can say whether people are harassed or stopped from moving about by force.

Remember that the last time such orders were given, it was obeyed even in Lagos. Who forced those in Lagos ? It is not by force. Please post facts !

I'm not typing just to type. I may be speaking harshly but it's only out of worry about what can come if these matters go unchecked.

According to a release signed by the spokesman of the state Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and made available to the media, the suspects were nabbed inside the popular Ogbete Market of Enugu State as they allegedly went into the market with public address system to threaten and inflict fears on the members of the public.

They allegedly told traders to stay away from the market from September 20, 2016.

Am I Buhari? I must be Garba Shehu? Femi Adesina? I don't speak for that man. From my vantage point he misspoke with the 95% vs 5% statement. It was misquoted and blown out of proportion by the opposition who have shown they hate us more than the present gov't. He should have immediatley cleaned up that fauxpas because has been used to cause major dissent in the land.

Tribalistic? I don't see it. From the standpoint of important ministries we have some important positions. The security forces are lacking but I'm not familiar with how the promotions work in that sector. He allocated funds for the 2nd Niger Bridge. He's building a railway in through the SS, SE & SW. Mind you this is during a time of thin resources. The Enugu-Onitsha Expressway is about to be redone and Zik's mausoleum is about to get a facelift. He even refused to play politics and sent the rail though Ekiti in spite of the of sitting gov's disrespect.

Nepotism? I agree with you there. Some of the appointments have raised my eyebrows.

I'm not asking you to lie nor "sweet talk" as you put it. Just keep things civil. We can discuss and come to a phase of operational unity. I don't expect us to agree on all matters but we can always show respect to each other.

No offence, but none of the articles you posted support your argument. The first one refers to 12 IPOB members who were arrested for distributing pro-Biafra leaflets. The second is from almost a year ago, thus has nothing to do with the upcoming 'sit-in' protest. Finally, the last one actually contradicts your point; it actually quotes MASSOB as saying that the protest is entirely voluntary and that no one will be forced to participate in it. Read through them again and tell me what you think.

Timbuktou:


They should advise people to stay at home, not force them to. Nobody has the right/authority to deprive another from going about their legitimate business.

For weeks in Sagamu, Ogun state, there's restriction of movement in some nights because of the rituals for their late King. No one is allowed to come outside after 8pm. If you do, you're on your own.
Now tell me, how is this not force? Currently, you cannot cannot play music very loud in some parts of Sagamu cos it's forbidden, until after the burial of the king. Even in some parts of Lagos like Ikorodu, they perform rituals and restrict people, sometimes during the day.
Hypocrisy of the South West is really disturbing.

Strict warning In Aba, Abia State, members of the group warned traders across markets not to open for business today. Vanguard gathered that IPOB members visited Ariaria International, Ngwa Road, Cemetery and Ekeoha markets with public address system announcing to the traders to shut their shops. A cross section of traders, who spoke to Vanguard, condemned the order and appealed to the IPOB members to allow the markets open. According to them: ”They should allow the markets open. Any trader, who wants to join the protest is free, but a total closure of the market will hurt us severely.” A trader, Mrs. Nwamaka Nnadi, who also faulted the ‘order,’ said the announcement warning traders to steer clear of the markets started on Sunday, as some pro Biafra agitators were observed in some areas, ‘spreading the message.’

This was chosen to show I'm not painting with a broad brush. I understand and commend the people who are voluntarily choosing to stay home. It is their blessed right to do so.

The first article is invalid, considering that the only source in it is from the Abia State Police Department. It's highly likely that they were arrested for distributing the leaflets and 'spreading the word' as Nigerian police officers are prone to lying.

Again, look at the date of the second article. Going from the article, it seems that IPOB have learned from their mistakes in the past, hence the emphasis on the voluntary nature of the protest.

You've already agreed with me about the last article so the less said about that one, the better . Like I said, I would be very surprised if there are no people, Igbo or otherwise, going about their daily business in the South-East tomorrow.

They didn't provide any quotes from the traders who were said to have been molested nor did they provide any quotes from the supposed onlookers. They didn't even provide an official quote from the policeman there at the scene. In my experience, when an article fails to show any quotes that support their story, it's usually balderdash. This is because they could be sued for saying that someone said something they didn't.

It doesn't matter what people in this thread say. A lot of people say things on the internet that they would never do in real life; one can never know who is being honest or who is lying or exaggerating here.

noblezone:
On Friday, I will sit at home with my family.
I will do this even if I am alone.

I am doing this to satisfy my conscience.
When posterity asks me, what did you do when the sons of Usman Dan Fodio masquerading as herdsmen were invading your lands, killing your men, raping your women and burning your houses,
I will boldly say, I had a sit at home protests. At least , its better than carrying arms.

but time is coming when arms might be inevitable.
Another community was attacked last week in Enugu state

So, to those of you who hate Biafra, what can you do to stop these blood thirsty messengers of Allah?

You hate the guts of the Biafrans but have no answer to the bloody campaigns of the Jihardists.

Shame on you all
Shame.on.you cowards.

And cursed by the day The Day, the slave trader called Luggard set his foot on my lands.

This is just the beginning.

So because of the actions of few miscreants you support the actions of IPOB. When things become really bloody it might be to late for you and your likes to have a re think. Majority don't support the actions of the herdemen but your IPOB people that you support would act in such a way Bishops and innocent people will pay for what they know nothing about. Just think twice man, nobody supports the herdemen infact it will a lot of good in the IPOB attack them but that's not the case here.

What are you saying? I see you typed a message but it's not very well conveyed.



Maaaaan I'm Igbo! Stop it already! This blind groupthink is the very thing that worries me. I voice a different view and now I'm no longer Igbo? People are harassing traders and restricting movement for one man? Priests are being molested? The very freedoms we claim to practice are being thrown to the dogs for one man? That's never been the way we rock. Not then. Not now. Not ever. If this is how Biafra will be run I'm not too optimistic.

if not for dis man..we wouldn't even have known wat Biafra is all about...he took d pains of travelling around over 9 countries just to unite Biafrans and broadcast from der...he came boldly and unaccompanied to Nigeria despite knowing dat move could even cost him his life...as if he has not shown enof courage..we saw him smiling and wearing an "I LOVE BIAFRA" wristband...he is British and could have just lived there and enjoyed his life..but he refused to forget us and u want us to forget him in prison? cut down on dis ur osogbo weed intake plz
