One would imagine that in five years that Jonathan was in Power, if these protests and loud requests for secession was brought forward and it was this loud, It might have been easier for the Igbo nation to get what they seem to want. Of course there is also the question of whether the agitators actually speak the mind of the Igbo Nation. This is because in my corner of the country, the Igbo men I know do not seem to be very much in support of Master Nnamdi. Still, these issues should be addressed by way of logical two way discussion. So my questions are: why is the demand for Biafra more pronounced now? Did the agitators forget what they wanted before? Did they not want it at the time? What exactly is the reasonable expectation currently? Do you want the Hausa man to go and face his onions and cow while leaving the oil for only the east to enjoy because they are very selfless like Jesus? Would it not have been easier to ask Jonathan to do that? Are we willing to go back to 1967 to make it happen? 105 Likes 8 Shares

Jonathan ignored them, but Buhari didn't. He arrested Kanu, that worsen the whole issue. Some uninformed war singers didn't even know that Kanu started radio Biafra far back in 2009. That was even before Jonathan become the president. He blasted the hell out of Jonathan doing his regime in 2013 /2014 . He called him names, Kanu even visited Nigeria in some occasion while Jonathan was in power. But you know what  Buhari wasn't as intelligent as Jonathan. Buhari thought he was doing Kanu or the Biafra ideology, he had no one to tell him he was promoting the struggle. A country that has a ruler that lack educational intelligence,even native intelligence will always pay heavily for it. 383 Likes 26 Shares |

@OkunrinMeta This is were Nigeria is missing it... Oil money could be sought out if only the separation is peaceful... Why It was low in GEJ... because Buhari and all of you Northerners believe SOLELY in violence.. You all foolishly believe that you can violently end the agitation... even till now... they are weapon far stronger than violence that is most effective. A weapon that can burn the whole country without a gun shot. But from Buhari, to Arewa youths to people like you that keep opening Biafran thread per hour .. people like all that Biafra is given sleepless nights and troubled days (and you can't explain why) are big promoters of biafra .. the worst is yet to come... the best was to allow biafra go... Biafra should withdraw or suit against Nigeria.. Oil revenue would be share to Nigeria.... that's all... then they would be political peace in Nigeria. I 96 Likes 9 Shares |

Adminisher: Why not start the war quick quick... Oct 1st is a perfect day... quit notice day. You talk what you dont understand. Common the little attack on IPOB Obiano is already confessing and asking for forgiveness. Buratai is being investigated for Genocide... You think you can just pick up arms and declare war against those seek for self determination? or you can sell war propagandas in this internet age. You think Nigeria Army would get involved in tribal fights. Wake up. 88 Likes 7 Shares |

My people, the purpose of this thread is not to start a fight or fuel ethnic hatred. It is to draw attention to the ineffectiveness of the current approach and the dangers of civil war. Please let us all find a way to get what we want without violence. Why not join politics? Even if pro-biafrans cannot get the presidency. If all the governors in your region are in support, it would that show the south-east people voted for governors who want Biafra, meaning they want Biafra too. So it will be easy to move from there. Not street fights and accidental discharges from police and soldiers that will leave only sorrows, pain, and fuel more bitterness. 28 Likes 4 Shares |

chinoxstock: Probability of war is 0% Its not feasible in any way whatsoever... On which ground would Nigeria declare war... Even my 5 years cousin knows that the government has no excuse to war... and are to broke to wish one. Self Determination is an International right of every indigenous group.. At worst nigeria government would be charged for attempt genocide because With The international publicity Biafra is getting Nigeria government can't do shit. Anambra Election would be boycotted 2019 election would be boycotted.. more sit at home. The are weapon more stronger than tanks. Nigeria only weapon is violence and War... they have already loss certainly.. ask any sane mind. book mark this my words 40 Likes 5 Shares |

Yyeske: Have you experienced war? We all shall die somebody. So if the war wants to come let it come. Only in a zoo does referendum translate into war. In other nations referendum means referendum but in the zoo referendum means war. Fools! Let the war come. Nobody is scared of the useless war. Cowards! 43 Likes 4 Shares |
