STFU! Are you the one to tell us the identity of Rochas Okorocha. Forget about the politics of APC and PDP, Rochas is a confirm nwafor. A true son of the soil and not the nonsense being spread around by enemies.


when you finish defending him go and collect your remaining balance of N2,000 the use to buy your future.

The illiterates who went on killing rampage (their judgement is waiting for them, the ones that are not already dead) were sold the idea that we killed their leaders and want to dominate them etc. that was bad and I will never justify badness.
the massacre of the civilians were wrong on many levels (my grand father lost cousins aplenty) but there was a motivation (that is my point) the motivation was not enough justification for what happened, but we cannot just wish it away.


I asked the other guy if he knows the consequences of Nnamdi Kanu dying in jail and he was just beating about the Bush.

Nnamdi Many dying in jail will lead to the death of many innocent Hausa people in the east, you and I know that.

Are the Hausa people who will be butchered not innocent too?
Did they send DSS or Buhari to Kill him? what is their concern with Nnamdi Kanu's matter Yet in the heat of the moment, nobody will remember all that, and those guys will be dead meat.

why do the Hausa peeps in Anambra flee to the barracks after election? or whenthe atmosphere is hot there?

And this is Nnamdi Kanu that is one riff raff somewhere o.
Now Imagine an Igbo president killed and the Igbo governors killed too, what do you think will happen?

I sincerely wished all Igbos were understanding and responsible like you. You are just very objective and please keep the good work with your positivity.

Everything that happens always happen for a reason with an underlying cause which we cannot wish away but only understand. May God help us all.

What happened in 1966 was clearly a massacre, so don't twist my words.

You are dead wrong as usual. There was 1953 Kano massacre. Again, do not try to create fans on inaccuracies.

Igbos lynch Hausas in the East too. Yorubas had killed Hausas, Ijaws in the West. Hausas had killed Igbos, Yorubas, Northern Christians, Southern minorities in the North. If Hausas had their own country, their police would have sorted the issue!. Not only Igbos face such issues. All face it in Nigeria. It is an antichrist government. A multiculturalism. A breakup would solve it. Only people who dont argue with Hausas will settle in their land. Ditto for others! Just some adjustment.


There is no basis for Nigerian unity and if the Igbos had handled their secessionist bid well, it would have succeeded but they bungled it!. Everybody is suspicious of the other! Even the smaller groups apart from the trio of Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo. No basis for the nation Nigeria.

Correctly true. We all face these issues in Nigeria. Some of us minorities even face worse discrimination and attacks, just that igbos always cry loudest.
For instance it is only in the core-north that igbos are likely to be attacked for their identity unlike we middlebelters and yoruba muslims who are likely to be attacked in both the core-north and the east.

I am from Kogi for instance and i have lost relatives in Onitsha killings because my people were mistaken for hausas by the igbo mobs. Even in the core-north during crisis we are not spared, hausas mistake we the middlebelt christians for igbos and call our muslims fake muslims.
If crisis start for instance in a place like Onitsa or Aba, most igbos will not be able to differentiate hausa fulanis from middlebelters and yoruba/edo muslims and we suffer the same fate.

tuale4u:
The five south east state can leave nigeria if they want, nobody cares as long as no single south south soil is included.

I know IPOB would soon come and attack me with thier usual boring lines listed below:

1. Who are you to speak for entire South South or Niger Delta.

My question to them: who are IPOB to even speak for the entire south east.

2. There is no word like South South in Geography.

My answer to them: words are created by man and nations. Nigeria have created the word South South and it has come to stay. Deal with it. The word South South is also used by the United Nation. U can google to get educated.The word google,facebook,IPAD were created in our lifetime.

3. You are yoruba and Afonja.

My answer to them: i am a full blooded Niger Deltan like Amadi Elechi, Anthony Enahoro, Ken Saro Wiwa, Isaac Adoko Boro , Ateke Tom, Ayiri etc who rejects Biafra. If you dont believe, u can go hug toilet!

4.They will not leave any Igbo tribe in south south behind when they break away.

My answer to them: We dont have Igbo in South South. What we have in south south is distinct independent ethnic nationalities like Kwale, igbanke, ikwerre, Anioma, Etc. Cubans are not Mexicans,Texans are not Mexicans, Portuguese are not spanish even though they share border, history and language similarities.

5.We dont want South South because of oil.

You can say that to a one year old infant. There is low oil price today, all the south east states are currently facing strong recession.

6. Your Divide and Rule wont work.

My answer to IPOB is that they are the king of Divide and rule. Whenever a Niger Deltan speak on Niger Delta issue, IPOB fraud are quick to tell you how Ijaw cant speak for Urhobo, how edo cant speak for Isoko and Itsekiri cant speak for ndokwa etc. IPOB always want to tell us Niger Deltans how diverse and different we are while downplaying our strong simililarities and history so dat they can easily annex us as small insignificant groups.

7. There will be a Referedum where South south will have to chose between Nigeria and Biafra.

This is d most deluded statement of IPOB which can only happen in thier wet dreams. If there will be referedum in Nigeria it can never be two choice but multiple choices. The choice will and must definitely include the following: Niger Delta Republic, Nigeria , Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa and others. Niger Delta Republic is our preferred choice as south south people.

8. Nigeria is a creation of white man. They want old eastern region back. The people were not consulted before the almagamation of Nothern and Southern protectorates.

My Answer to them: Old Eastern region was also a creation of a white man. The white man did not consult all the various ethnic nationalities in all the regions before they created the eastern, western and Northern region. People were forcely lumped together as eastern region. This is obvious with the Joy of Rivers State and Cross Rivers state people when they were seperated from a dominant Oppressive tribe in old eastern region to create thier own state. Wike the Governor of Rivers state just celebrated this issue last year by naming port Harcout township Stadium as Yakubu Gowon Station.
Delta State including Asaba was never at any time in history part of Eastern region. Delta state including asaba was first part of of Benin Kingdom/Empire before becoming part of Western Region, then part of Mid West, then part of Bendel before becoming Delta state today.

9. In Biafra, every region will own thier resources and pay tax to the centre. South south people should not be afraid of losing thier resources to a dominant tribe.

My answer to them: Why will South South people be comfortable to paying any form of tax to a centre likely to be controlled by a dominant tribe with the least resources, least landmass and almost more than 50% of the resulting population of such union. We will rather form our own Niger Delta Republic and run our things ourselves alone. I think we will prefer resource control in Nigeria than that your dream Biafra.


10. Your dream Niger Delta Republic will not work because south south people are too diverse and different

My answer to them: Divide and Rule in action. Your dream Biafra will be more diverse than our dream Niger Delta Republic. Your dream Biafra is our dream Niger Delta Republic plus South East. However even if Niger Delta Republic will not work, we are ok with it breaking into three or six different countries. It is our problem. Leave it for us. Afterall Soviet union broke into more than 20 countries and the world have not ended. In Summary, Niger Delta people wants Resource Control, Fiscal Federalism or Niger Delta Republic as last option if Federal Republic of Nigeria breaks.

This is one among many reasons we should not allow the January 15, 1966 coup to slide into political weapon of tribal hatred. If Nigerian armed forces of the northern region indigenes were not involved in 1966 riot, we would not have this discussion.

Yea right.

If Nigeria gets over its tribal acrimony, Nigeria will be a great country indeed.
Disintegrating Nigeria will be too bad, and the damage will be felt across Africa indeed, as the armed forces will have to be disintegrated too; and you know what that means for many African countries

You simply cannot eat your cake and have it. It is apparent we cannot live peacefully together in Nigeria. The sure best thing would be to part ways from each other. God can only help those that help themselves. I guess your support for IPOB would agitate the help of God. The riot and massacre instigated by tribal differences will be a thing of the past when we all settle in our respective nation states. Nigerians do not have constant riot with the Togolese or Ghanaians because of tribal dissimilarity.

Agreed on the bold. But nowhere in record did the Igbos attack strangers whether Hausa, Yoruba or any group. The recent records of attack were more or less reprisal attack, when such attacks against the Igbos occurs in the North. They learnt it from the Northerners.
I will love to see a separate countries for the Igbos; but Nigeria should endeavor to return back our land fraudulently carved into today South South.

If Biafra had not invaded the Midwest and West, there would have been a PH Ikwerre division in Biafra today. So there is no issue of being fraudulently carved out and Asaba was never in Biafra. Those are the two major Igbo cities outside the SE. Asaba has no issue. They are ok with Biafra. Only Ikwerre has issues and the land is Ikwerre land just like Ijesa or Ife land is Ijesa or Ife respectively! Dont let them be insulting you! Just tell them to be a separate country if they want but negotiate an agreement of no import or export tariff with them with UN witnesses. They can even grant an Igbo owned company a cargo handling license at their port. The Ikwerres believe the SE Igbos want revenge. So put yourself in their shoes! Later in the future, they mat agree to join but take what you have now and run with it. At least 150 embassies will open in an Igbo country, at 100 staff each, that is 15,000. Glo, MTN, Airtel will open offices, you have your army and police and etc, you control your market and you have a base. You gain a lot!


Again, no land is really under dispute in Nigeria. There is native sovereignty, land have owners!.

The Europeans were wise and decided to make sure that culture and tradition should be cornerstone of nation building. Germans and French could not live together in one country. Most of the wars fought in Europe have come as a result of maltreatment of certain minority ethnic group in one country while their brethren are heterogeneously majority in neighboring country. The tribal nations in Nigeria are growing large and wide with stronger embrace to culture and tradition. In future, there must be a need to have a distinct nation for ethnicity.

If Africa follows that line and divide based on ethic lines, we will have more than 1000 countries in Africa, and how viable can they be?
The reason why the Europeans overran us in the first place is that clannish proposition you have for Nigeria to divide based on ethnic lines.
With more than 250 tribes in Nigeria, should Nigeria now split into 250?

Do not be deceived with the alleged diversity in USA. There must be a dominate culture for nation states to survive. In the case of USA, it is English. As you have alluded with the case of Sarkozy and Hungary, yet the dominate culture is French and the language is the unit of measure.
It is not out of ordinary to request the existence of Republic of Igbo land or even Biafra where a dominate culture can consolidated all the elements of progressives.

It is not out of ordinary to request the existence of Republic of Igbo land or even Biafra where a dominate culture can consolidated all the elements of progressives.

And besides, the American culture today is a mixture of several cultures, that is why it is called the "melting pot of cultures" Fine the language many speak is English, but it all surprise to know that America has no official language at the federal level, so there are dozens of Languages spoken in America too, like French is Louisiana, German in ND and Spanish in California/New Mexico.


If you have proposed a confederation of ethnic nationality under the Nigeria umbrella, where each nationality handles it's issues and do not need to run to Abuja to beg, !then contribute for federal infrastructure army and foreign policy, that would have made more sense, but disintegration?

That is a lazy argument

You seem to mistake the beginning with the ending. If USA has stated as melting pot of cultures as it is seen without a dominate culture, I bet my cent there would have been on USA. Maine was even colonized by Sweden but when the PM visited in 1822, the Swedish language has been replaced with English. The Yanks were on a mention of building a great nation and no culture or tradition other then English will stand in their way. It is even unfortunate that USA is now allowing Spanish as second language.

You miss the point. One culture is dominant in the USA. State funded education is English based. Their ties are with the UK. They were a post of Britain and majority of them descended from Britain and Ireland. In your Biafra will be Yoruba people. Infact the Obi Onitsha is a Yoruba descent man but now Igbo and etc. That is how it is. Dominate your sphere!

Now, this restructuring you mentioned, what about police and soldiers? The main thing is let non Yoruba soldiers and police leave Yoruba land as part of your restructuring. Do you like that? If you dont, you must be evil.

What is the dominant culture in Belgium?
Switzerland? even say Canada? are these countries not working and developed?

Find another excuse.


There were cultural wars in Belgium until the level heads prevailed. Africans are not European as people could be allowed and understood that even though divided by the culture and tradition, they could form a united nation. Canada is internally divided along language barriers.

The only majority they are is:
They are the majority of drug dealers carrying Nigerian passports!

Majority of Americans did not descend from Britain stop spreading falsehood, What will you say about the Germans and the French.

Remember, as at the time America gained independence, they were just 13 rebellious States, now they are 50, so the remaining 37 were not under Britain at all, but instead came from former French prooerty (Louisiana) Mexico (Texas, California AZ and NM) and even Russia (Alaska) so your point is not valid in America's case.
