eluquenson: I believe you are one of those who lack history foundation, you see, hatred is a strong gene which the yorubas and Hausa-Fulani has till date, the region wey u dey vex for after fifty years is still better than you, are you not still ashamed of your God forsakened life? Biafra will come and you won't know when it has arrived, mind Igbos cannot worship you guys, they are their own God, you want to be in the top chanting one Nigeria while the other should suffer, what the igbos has neared this years, your can not bear it in five years and you are here making mouth as if you hear a gunshot you can stand. I continue to pray for Biafra to come cos nothing good comes easy but by God's grace we the Ndi Igbos and rest of biafrans shall rejoice. I strongly bet you that entrance into Biafra land by Afonjas And your herdsmen will be so difficult, you guys must face what we faced so you can get your dividend of hatred.

slap1: You are free to share - for the honoured dead by their heroic deeds have shared infinitely the memories of their valour far more than any of the living can finitely attempt. They lit a torch that will never go out - thus etched this day, 30th May, with their blood, permanently across the parchments of history as an eternal memorial in their honour. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

HIDDING FROM OUR PAST (BIAFRA) by Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie A generation was robbed of its innocence. The war was the seminal event in Nigeria’s modern history, but I learned little about it in school. “Biafra” was wrapped in mystery. At home, my parents spoke of it rarely and obliquely; I heard many stories about my grandfathers’ wisdom and humor, but few stories about how they had died. By the time that Biafra was defeated, in 1970, at least a million people were dead, including my grandfathers proud, titled Igbo men who were buried in the unmarked graves of refugee camps. My parents lost other relatives, and everything they owned. On the margins of my happy childhood, there was a shadow: the Biafran war. I was born seven years after it ended, and did not experience any material deprivations, I had a bicycle, dolls, books but my family was scarred by it. In 1967, after massacres in northern Nigeria that targeted southeastern Igbo people, the southeast seceded and formed an independent nation called Biafra. Nigeria went to war to prevent the secession. I became haunted by history. I spent years researching and writing “Half of a Yellow Sun,” a novel about human relationships during the war, centered on a young, privileged woman and her professor lover. It was a deeply personal project based on interviews with family members who were generous enough to mine their pain, yet I knew that it would, for many Nigerians of my generation, be as much history as literature. In 2006, my publisher and I were braced for the Nigerian publication, unsure of how it would be received. We were pleasantly surprised: “Half of a Yellow Sun” became one of the best-selling Nigerian novels published in the past fifty years. It cut across different ethnic groups, started conversations, served as a catalyst for previously untold stories. I was heartened to hear from readers whose families had survived Biafra and those whose families had been on the Nigerian side. But the Biafran war is still wrapped in a formal silence. There are no major memorials, and it is hardly taught in schools. This week, the South eastern region had set aside today as a remembrance day for those who died at the war front, and the government is trying to prevent these citizens from their right because, according to them, it might incite violence in the country; it is now up to the State Security Service to make a decision. Partly the result of an unexamined past and partly of the trauma of years of military dictatorship, a sustained and often unnecessary sense of secrecy is the norm in Nigerian public life. We talk often of the “sensitivity” of issues as a justification for a lack of transparency. Conspiracy theories thrive. Soldiers are hostile to video cameras in public. Officials who were yesterday known as thieves are widely celebrated today. It is not unusual to hear Nigerians speak of “moving forward,” as though it might be possible merely to wish away the unpleasant past. But we cannot hide from our history. Many of Nigeria’s present problems are, arguably, consequences of an ahistorical culture. As a child, I sometimes found rusted bullets in our garden, reminders of how recent the war had been. My parents are still unable to talk in detail about certain war experiences. The past is present, and we are better off acknowledging it and, hopefully, learning from it. 16 Likes |

The only way fratermathy and Co, stay relevant is by ranting up and down on Biafra matters, because it generates attention I put him in place, in another thread, he has come here to continue his ranting about Urhobo this, Urhobo that.. Who dafuq needs Urhobos for Biafra, whoever sent that memo you keep quoting DOES NOT represent the majority of Igbos.. Let me sound it clear to you again, we are NOT interested in Urhobo, we don't give a FvCCK about Urhobo.. I'm just annoyed some stupid IPOB members keep engaging some of this freaking minorities in arguments, everyday the keep feeling narcissistic and important.. Majority of Igbos don't give a FUVCK, most especially about Urhobo.... Carry your Urhobo and stay in your lane.. We don't care Nigggar Stop trolling RIP, to the fallen warriors of Biafra..

Jumbus31: Nothing bad will happen to them. The Igbo owners will retain ownership. They will just be like lgbo living in Ghana Gabon USA etc. If they decide to relocate they can chose to sell their property appoint caretaker to collect rent. However,whether they sell or retain the properties it is clear they will receive less money than they would get if they were to sell now. This is because property prices will crash as the property market would be saturated as lgbo relocate to Biafra. The reason there was abandoned property issue after the Civil War was because lgbo lost the war and did not have a sovereign state to protect their interests. So relax. 8 Likes |

Some birds are not meant to be caged, their feather are too bright their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go or they fly past you when you open the cage to feed them and some how the part of you that thinks it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices. At the end the empty vaccum created by their freedom is what hunts you and not the freedom it self 17 Likes 4 Shares |
