HopeAtHand: How are Ndigbo self-centered? Is there any crime if the federal government has to build cities such as Lagos and Abuja in the defunct eastern region of Nigeria? What about wharf in the defunct eastern region? Now if Biafra is actualized tomorrow, there must be more than two cities in Biafra with the shade of Lagos or Abuja. Of course, Biafra will build more than one military academies in Biafra. There will be, at least, two deep-water seaports in Biafra. However these economic infrastructures can never see daylight in defunct eastern region as long as the region is part of the cesspit called Nigeria. Nigeria is simply a cause. The most self-centered ethnic nationality is the colonial contraption remains the one that feels all economic infrastructures are situated in its area therefore every Nigerian should remain attached to Nigeria even if the cesspit is a complete dead-end. 11 Likes |

Dedetwo:Can you compare the works of Romiti Amaechi in Portharcourt to that of Odilli in his tenure? What about Donald Duke who single handedly made his state what it was? The Lagos of 2006 is also not the Lagos of 2017. Our people in the south south as well as the igbos blame everyone but themselves. Now if you insist and want Biafra at all cost, then note that In a true democratic process, protest alone and civil unrest would amount to nothing substantial for the formation of a new nation. Your leaders would have to back it up. Your Senate/House of Reps, Ohanezes and Governors, this is the best shot at making Nigeria succumb to the demand for Referendum. Kanu should indirectly and secretely push some of his people to run for leadership positions in the zoo, as a long term plan, a backup plan. 2 Likes |

ShootToKill: How can you fight for someone who didn't seek your help or complained to you for assistance. Is dat how you live your life? People aren't interested in your help or assistance whatsoever, and you are making noise about them refusing your help. What nonsense!!! Igbos fight your Biafra alone and leave uninterested ethnicities to chart their own course. When you give help not asked for, you create a sinister motive. 8 Likes |

The real question should be why are Igbos afraid of Niger Delta Republic, if truly they really want to help the Niger Delta, they should support a Niger delta free from the 3 major tribes, igbo, hausa and yoruba are all d same 3 Likes |

ShootToKill: I also saw an interview on TVC where a young man who claimed to be the leader of the Ijaw youth congress said that Ijaws are not Biafrans and there will be no referendum in Ijawland. The same day he said this, Asari Dokubo came out in an interview to reaffairm that him and the Ijaw nation are Biafrans. Am I to believe Asari Dokubo who has actually fought in the creeks or am I to believe a small boy who has never fought for anything? It is incredible how stupid some of these people in the so called Niger Delta are. Some of them are the biggest losers in Nigeria, yet, they say will continue to remain in Nigeria and continue losing. Some of them like Tonyebarcanister or whatever his name is have the vision of "one Nigeria'" where everybody will be begging the North for resource control/restructuring and hopefully, maybe the North will agree to this one thousand years from now. Lol My grandfather used to say 'you can only save someone who wants to be saved' Maybe it is just the destiny of some of the tribes in the Niger Delta to be providing the Oil money needed to be running the 44 Local Govts of Kano. Who are we to judge? One thing I know is that eventually, everybody will finally come to the realisation that the core North will never allow any restructuring of Nigeria. When that time comes, every ethnic group in the Niger Delta will face the same question Ojukwu faced 50 years ago.... "Do I submit myself to be a slave of the North or do I fight for my sovereignty?" 10 Likes |

stephenmorris:With your mindset, Niger delta would have to suffer for many many years to come, you have not even accepted your own brothers, your identity(Biafra). You want people to start begging you or try to convince you to stop denying your identity, well thank God you do not represent the Opinion of the vast majority of Niger deltans who are Biafrans. 1 Like |

ShootToKill:I actually watched the Ogoni man in that interesting political discussion. He was visible angry at everything, not just Nnamdi Kanu. Note that at the beginning of the show he said that "We are all Biafrans" which he used to highlight the fact that every part of Nigeria is feeling some sort of neglect. I can understand why he would be angry anyway because if you look at the interview with Nnamdi Kanu that he was reacting to, Nnamdi Kanu came across as arrogant and was just marking territories according to the man. Nnamdi Kanu was asked which part of Nigeria covers Biafran territory and he mentioned all the SE and SS states except Edo state. So, this guy was feeling like, we were not consulted. You don't go around marking territories without insulting the sensibilities of the indegenes in those terrains. I've noticed that Niger Deltans don't necessarily have a problem with Biafra per se. Their problem is the fact that they're not been carried along properly. For instance, if Nnamdi Kanu can court some freedom fighters in those areas to join his movement. For instance, if people like Asari Dokubo and co join the movement actively and not by proxy, only then will these groups in those areas with be able to resonate with the Biafran struggle through their own leaders. Nnamdi Kanu having foot soldiers who have no followership in those areas is a recipe for disaster. 4 Likes 1 Share |

9jabull:Total nonsense. Everytime an individual or a group from the Niger delta come up to protest their inclusion in Biafra, you guys will say they are not speaking for their people, tell us the ones that are speaking for their people in favour of Biafra, you won't! Better accept the truth, vast majority of Niger deltans don't support being in Biafra, infact they dread it more than Nigeria. I live in PH and I've interacted with several people from minority tribes in the Niger delta, even Ikwerre hate Biafra with passion let alone Urhobo. If you are not confident about Biafra with the 5 South Eastern states, it is hypocrisy asking for it. 1 Like |

attackgat: I want to buy him beer because he is an Igbo that is not blinded by the thoughtless approach of IPOB. IPOB without minding the sensibilities of other ethnicities, without consulting their opinion, wholesomely added them to a map they know nothing of and are insisting they must be a part of the arrangement. Igbos are really taking southern minorities for granted. but lemme remind Igbos that at the end, they remain the worst losers. 1 Like |

HopeAtHand:this is not the time for this whether they consult you or not join them and emancipate yourself first , IPOB and Kanu have said it several times that all ethnicities in the so biafra will be independent you control your oil or whatever it is you have , if you also want to be on your own no problem ,if the ethnicities decide to change the name from biafra so be it , if you follow all his interview you would have known all this . there are only two options for all ethnic group right now , either you join IPOB and have referendum conducted in your nation or you remain nigerian and have to beg abuja monthly for your upkeep , the choice is yours .. the middle belt youths that came to consult IPOB do you think they are fools . 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Afam4eva: Nothing was going on in Ojukwus mind. It was a fight against pogrom and not resources. Eastern region was run by coal, palm produce, rubber and not crude oil. The latter wasn't a big deal. Oil boom came latter in the 70s, after the war. Not before 66 7 Likes 2 Shares |

HopeAtHand: Oh come of it. You are not fooling anyone with the above. You did not complain when Lord Lugard drew a map called Nigeria and put you people in it You did not complain when Gowon drew a map called Rivers state and put you people in it You did not complain when Abacha drew a map called 'South South' and put you people in it. But as soon as Kanu and IPOB drew their own map, thats when you suddenly realised that you have 'sensibilities' and you were not consulted? Lol You think this is just about if Igbos get Biafra or not? They will one day. This has become more about if the minorities of Southern become slaves of the North. Lets face it, the moinorities have very slim choices, breakout with Igbos or stay in Nigeria and keep begging the North for resource control/restructuring. There is no third choice. So nobody is consulting you about nothing, you guys should have decided by now what you want. 11 Likes 1 Share |

attackgat: Saying Lugard did not consult you is baseless at this point becos colonial masters do not consult anyone, do not seek opinion of anyone, if you do not want their control, you have the option to stage war against them. Dictatorship has almost identical attributes as colonialism. But this is 2017, in a democracy. Even if for the best of intentions, I deserve that courtesy. that you feel I shouldn't be consulted in matters that directly affects me shows the kind of regard you have for me. You are obviously a kid who doesn't know the implications of such actions. No one is satisfied the way Nigeria is headed and will love something way better but taking a wholesome decision ad this without regards to my sensibilities is an affront. 2 Likes |
