I truly believe her gender is a challenge in her struggle. But if she can search for like minds and male counterparts, she will make more impact. I am aware Nnamdi Kanu came to pay visit to her or she was the one that visited him. Let her continue, I am proud of her efforts in any case. Kathmandu: 5 Likes |

ahaika23:you guys are so annoying. Eastern nigeria is gone just like western nigeria(which incl. SW, Delta and Edo). Why must ijaws, urhobos, ogonis etc join Biafra? why are you guys desperate. Why do you people hate hearing anything about An Only Igbo Country? 5 Likes |

Biafra or Niger Delta republic can't work if the duo aren't in partnership. Ojukwu fought for his all alone, eventually he failed. Adaka boro and others in present day Niger delta equally asked for fairness and justice, they all failed. So what lesson has been learned? Lack of cooperation from both these guys. What shud be the way forward? They shud partner in the struggle to break loose the contraption named Nigeria and thereafter live as separate entity if need be. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Amarabae:Ipob ideology is skewed in a way to allow for minorities to take cheap shots at them. I'm all for an Igboid groups country then any other group that wants to join can declare interest instead of NK lumping people that don't share any similarity with you in a country where you know they will always be scared of domination. 4 Likes |

Well, that may be true about the over 80% of the area of the SS that was carried along by Ojukwu in the first Biafra but you failed to ask one question, were the people of that region engaged in robust discussion before he went ahead to include us in Biafra. That was not done and that is one of the reason why there is the mistrust among us. It should not be allowed to repeat itself again. kingzizzy: 1 Like |

Amarabae: Ur ilks are the reason why others are stuck in the Bush. Which ogoni or ijaw man is currently happy with state of things in Nigeria where they dont create wealth but run to abuja every month end to share everything which doesn't translate to better standard of living? Can the ogonis or ijaws fight for equity, justice and fairness all alone against the Nigerian state and win? Abeg swerve. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Kathmandu:God bless you. You need to see the insultive venoms being poured on the Igbos by these minorities because of Ipob. where is our pride and prestidge? why belittling yourself before these minorities.

ahaika23:Of course that was the crux of my last post. Have a pact/well_detailed agreement with IGBOs to get Biafra and move on. That's logical enough. But most people involved in these struggles are too petty to toe that path. 1 Like |

Yes it is and that is why they say when the foundation is faulty, the house cannot stand and everything else will be so wrong. If at the formation of Nigeria, all these things were put into consideration, this country would not have been in this terrible mess where who ever rules can turn it and rape it as he likes. that is why at this crucial stage of a possible new beginning, justice should be the hallmark and not sentiments.

Amarabae:I do see it and i roll over because i don't have strength to engage in their fights. One problem with this agitation is because it is made up of semi literates so much of their rants appears shallow and baseless. They don't know how to be diplomatic with words which makes them sitting ducks for cheap shots 1 Like |

DauraDullardo: My masters? Respect yourself You see, this is why I have been advocating for a clean agitation devoid of insults and threats but I was obnoxiously calld a coward and pacifist. What the mallam said was that we require the majority votes of parliament in order to amend the constitution, he never completely ruled it out regadless of the sensatinal headline. But biko how can we convince the northerners who are the majority to vote in our favour when the Nnamdi Kanu brand of agitation is based on insulting, threatening and blackmailing the Yoruba and Northerners? We should have employed diplomacy from the onset. I know you might argue that the north would still have not voted in our favour because of their thirst for oil, but the truth is that there would have been significantly less hatred and vengeance from their end compared to what is happening now, and we would have had a much higher chance of even getting the issue to be discussed in the national assembly. What we need to do now is serious damage control and extend a hand to the north and west and tcatfully keep our grievances aside. This is the Yoruba strategy and it is working for them because even if they don't intend to secede or restructure, they get what they want (look at the new ports, railways etc.) and end up less marginalized if marginalized at all. 1 Like |

Kathmandu: There are so many Igbo speaking tribes in Rivers State which include Etche, Ikwerre, Obio/Akpor, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Emuoha, Oyigbo, Bonny, Okirika L.G.A that speak Igbo either in part or in full and it is only natural to include your folks in Biafra afterall it was Nigeria that separated us in the first place. But because of other tribes in the region, it is therefore important to engage every member tribe fully and let each have his pride and right fully so as to make the breakaway succeed. 9 Likes 4 Shares |
