Your Clamor For Independence Will End Up To Be Cries Of Siege: Biafra Is Failure by Onyocha: 8:48pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
These are the reasons why I believe Biafra will not succeed and igbos have no way to succeed in creating their own country. In fact, if eventually igbos are given their own country, it will be so full of hunger, division, and conflict that they may eventually beg for the northerners to return and rule over them. When you hear northerners begging the FG to let igbos go, consider the below reasons. Pay close attention at no. 4! 1.) if Biafra is to happen, it will be limited to five states. Nigeria will not hand over the Niger delta to the igbos even if the south south will eventually get its own independence on a different date and separately. What the north will not have, the igbos cannot get. 2.) Niger deltans either do not want to be part of Biafra or will eventually not want to remain in Biafra. That means conflict and even bloodshed. If the igbos think their Biafra will be a mini version of Nigeria where they will have hegemony over the Niger delta, and its oil, that is Satan dreaming of making it to heaven. 3.) the international community have nothing to gain from Biafra. And it will never want bloodshed and conflict that will send oil prices skyrocketing due to conflict between igbos and Niger deltans. 4.) if Nigeria is to allow the five Igbo states to conduct referendum today and give them independence, Biafra will literally be like Lesotho. A country within a country. (If you do not know how Lesotho looks like, please check you world map. It is a country inside South Africa; and Nigeria or neighbors won't be to Biafra what South Africa is to Lesotho). Nigeria can close its borders with a thick fence and close its airspace to Biafra of five Igbo states. Literally, your clamor for independence will end up being cries of siege. It will be hunger and poverty. 5.) igbos of five states clamoring for independence is not geographically feasible. It is like kanuris in parts of the north asking for independence. Your landmass is poorly situated. It's not even about the size. Your Biafra of five states is inside another country if your dream ever come to pass. 6.) the north can feed itself and Biafra cannot. Arable land is in abundance in the north and the north has been a bastion of agriculture. 7.) the north is a big market economically. It's landmass and population means big business. It is a big consumer market. That is money. With your independence turning into a siege, you're literally finished. No agriculture of the north and no Niger delta oil for you and in an hostile environment, you are doomed. And this doom will also affect others. Therefore your Biafra project is aimed at destruction for everyone. To bring down the house on everyone's heads; and that is why many will stand against it to prevent such destruction from happening. And far from being peaceful, no partition goes smoothly in places with ethnic and religious divisions and rivalry. Take example of India and Pakistan. The best bet for igbos is to forge alliances across the nation and even go as far as mending fences with the north. People like okorocha and Amaechi have done well in that line of building bridges with the northerners. You can clamor for restructuring or whatever it is called. Division of Nigeria will not end with a Biafra of anything more than five states. It will witness multiple divisions in both the south and the north. It could see continuos wars, famine and starvation which will be rampant in the north. Five states with 30 to 40 million igbos will be too populated with little sustenance or means for survival. You will definitely not eat your cake and have it after asking for division. And that's where the north is hitting hard by asking igbos to leave. Such divisions means igbos starting from ZERO. You can't ask for your country and still try to live, and work elsewhere and want to control lands of other minorities. As Nigeria is, it is not a land of a majority. It is a land of minorities. Add the biggest three ethnic groups, and the minorities will end up being more in terms of numbers. And if the inevitable happens, igbos will be on their own. Both the middle belt and the south south or the Niger delta will not come to the help of igbos or want to die for igbos to have a country to dominate. Whether in Nigeria, in Biafra or in small independent countries, those ethnicities in the Middle East belt and in the Niger delta will remain minorities. Corruption cuts across ethnic groups. So what would they really stand to gain by dying for igbos? The igbos will end up besieged and beaten again if the inevitable (war) happens and may God forbid that. Those few voices outside the five Igbo states cheering the igbos to secede will be no where to be found if the worst happens. The northerners will literally have a picnic in the south east, again! It will be really messy for igbos and they may never ever recover or survive as a group again. In fact, after such loss and dent to their image, anything Igbo may end up being treated like pariah. So those with much adrenaline flowing in their blood should think well before following the loud mouth of Kanu who may well end up proven to be an empty barrel. Secession and partition are not child's play. I fully believe that self determination is human right. But in time of conflict, human right is abused. And how worse if the abuses and divisions are a never ending spiral? More or less a Pandora box! Half bread is better than none. Greed is a vice not a virtue. 6 Likes |

EzeUche: A donkey has no comprehension ability. It only understands the language of the whip. Voices of reason and those for peace, tolerance, coexistence and dialogue will continue to oppose your devilish division. Peacefully you stand no chance with your devilish plan and through force you stand the chance to be beaten silly. That's what I think. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Khd95: When you developed those places, was there Biafra over there? Who's stopping you from developing your states? If your people are not even convinced to invest in those five states in times of peace, will they be foolish enough to invest in them in times of conflict? As igbos like money and are greedy? I Doubt! Your Biafra project is just political blackmail. Nothing more. 7 Likes 1 Share |

ZorGBUooeh: Dey go now. It is more feasible if Kanu start building a rocket from scratch to relocate and launch Igbos into Jupiter than to clamor for Igbo independence. It's just not reasonable and not workable. It's like shooting one's self on the foot. In fact Buhari made a mistake by imprisoning him and giving the clown more weight than he deserves. Seun and Lalasticlala this thread is my opinion. You can please help push it to front page let others think along too! 3 Likes |

This thread is nothing but the vomit of a pig. In fact it's far more worthless than a watery poo. Opinion my ass. As per the bolded, just the same way you did not agree in 2015 that his arrest was a mistake, but has now turned around to agree, in the same you will soon see Biafra emerge fully with regions comorising the current SS,SE and MB.

slash112: That's your problem. Zero honesty and credibility. You think everyone is a sellout like you. I wish I was paid as you claim. I only express my honest opinion on this contentious issue out of concern for the wellbeing and peace of all Nigerians. If this was solely an Igbo problem and the rest of the country is immune, no one will care. So stop massaging your empty ego and flattering your flat head to think anyone cares about you. The toy you are using to play with and blackmail others using the ugly name of "biafra" is not just a name. It is war, conflict, siege, hunger and destruction. And if it happens, it will befall everyone. You're playing with a dangerous toy. Others do not want to be victims of your greed and stupidity if the inevitable happens. So stop being stupid or you will eventually have to be the only ones to pay for your stupidity. And no one then will care or feel sorry to the echoes of your cries. 3 Likes |

ZorGBUooeh: Political gimmicks. You have a choice to make your weight and figures and voice heard when it's election time. Stop voting on sentiments. It won't have killed you or damaged you if you had made the political calculations right. In politics, it is strength to vote for your enemy when you know well he's stronger than you and he's bound to win. It was written on the wall Jonathan was going to lose. Yet you put all your eggs in his basket and voted based on sentiments and religious and ethnic hatred instead of solid political calculations. If all of you were like Amaechi and rochas, you'd be good politicians. Politics is interests and not emotions. 2 Likes |

Abumtestimony1: No one deserve to be called "unity beggars" than you. Your call for independence is aimed at having hegemony over the south south if allowed to materialize. You are just political blackmailers in the end of it all. You have nothing in your miserable five states to offer. They attract no Foreign Direct Investment. They do not even attract investment from Igbo businessmen themselves. What is your bluff for? 3 Likes |

It is always said that the truth is bitter. If only they would take the advice of using the time and energy they are wasting in this ******* and invest it in something meaningful. Where , I mean how many places are really developed in the North that you always keep ranting without rest? The next thing is for them to start attacking the westerners as back-stabbers... i wonder what you want them to do. Join you in your barkings?.... these are intelligent group o people with their free will so i see no reason why some aggrieved group of people should be feeling bad or betrayed when a choice is made.

You wanted to dominate. It's part of your agreessive nature to dominate others. And that's bad. If only you remember then that the bible says "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword".

That's what is meant by the title of the write up. Your clamor for independence will end up to be cries of siege. If I'm to break it down for you like a kindagarten pupil, your Biafra will end up inside Nigeria and that means Nigeria will forever own your Biafra.
