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?

Obiano Apology

Biafra vs Buratai, Obiano and 13 others.
200 million dollars suit. (John Doe vs Buratai et al)

http://www.newsexpressngr.com/news/43288-Biafra-Suit-Intersociety-releases-evidence-against-Buratai-Arase-other-Military-and-Police-top-shots-46



You think 1967 is 2017.

You think the world is still a jungle. wake up.

Let's Nigeria start war

it would be 1 billion dollars suit this time.

And ICC are currently investigating state involvement in Herdsmen and Nigeria Army Human Rights Abuses... this one is not a civil or monetary is straight execution of life imprisonment in Hague.

NigeriaKitchen:
Nice question but the answers are:

1. Buhari's tribalistic and lopsided political appointment and very nepotic leadership style in which only the Fulani/Hausa and some of his Yoruba allies are favoured while others are seen as idiots!

2. Fulani herdsmen incessant killings of unarmed innocent villagers in middle belt, kaduna and Enugu in which Buhari refused to condemn or act to show that he is not in support of the murderous Fulani militia cum herdsmen.

3. The arrest of Nnamdi KANU

4. One-sided fight against corruption by Buhari governments in which Buhari friends, cabinets, sponsors and allies who are corrupt are allowed to walk free while his perceived enemies and opposition are clamped down on using efcc and DSS.

These factors are the reason the agitation for seccesion by various groups in Nigeria became more pronounced under Buhari.

Goodluck Jonathan may not have been an excellent president, but he was fair to all....he was liberal....he was kind hearted, considerate, humane and very democratic unlike Buhari

sanpipita:


I never wanted to reply here but after reading where you talked about 1967 I must say you are very stupid, its like what kanu says about this country being a zoo is true, must a war be fought just cos agitations? what about doing things like civilised people, are we animals? for your question do your research Biafra was on under GEJ some were arrested and taken to court blame buhari for escalating everything since he took over.

OkunrinMeta:
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.

Maybe ..... And Jonathan shared money through amnesty. Maybe that's also why

Was Kanu even on radio during Jonathan's regime?

Lightening:


Jonathan ignored Kanu, but the cattle rearer confronted him and gave him more publicity, sympathy and followership. Nobody is afraid of your 1967. Good night.

Yyeske:
Dont be deceived by him, Igalas, Idomas, Efiks, Ibibio, ijaws, Urhobos, Itshekiris and other groups around Igboland had dissociated themselves from Biafra yet they keep pushing the referendum down their throats as if those groups asked for it.
They only want access to sea and oil

OkunrinMeta:


A better strategy would be to vote for Nnamdi Kanu and his compatriots as Governors in all the Southeast. That is the wise thing to do unless the people of the southeast are not really in support of the biafran movement.

OkunrinMeta:


As you would see if you go through the thread. I am not in support of war. Inciting comments that can lead to war is exactly was this thread is speaking against. If we talk about why calls for secession were not as loud before, then maybe we can address the issue once and for all.

Kazim88:


you big mugu. Biafra has fought civil war.. lost 3.5million

kept the dream for 50 years.... yet you are asking me how many years eritea, S Sudan and Co struggled

why not mention Scotland and BREXIT referendums.

Even MASSOB started 1999... wake up

Kazim88:


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.

juszoe82:
The call for Biafra has been in existence not because of Jonathan or so called Buhari but is because our people have endured enough in the so called nigeria and their system of government that a particular feel that they are born to rule but what make it worst is buhari after winning election and decide to user outrageous reactions against igbos both in his appointment and statement. I dont know why some people in this country nigeria does not address issues with truth instead they see and address things through their anus. So called buhari use this statement after winning election that igbos will get 5% share in his govt while others will get 95%. Jonathan never discriminate during his govt. In terms of hate speech buhari have it 100% than Jonathan.

My advice to this govt is that they should brought all the issues on the table,embrace restructuring or referendum with equity,fairness and justice and also treat every tribe equal if not the agitation will continue whether people like it or not. The system is totally destroyed and need to be properly address.

mazimee:
Jonathan ignored them, but Buhari didn't.
He arrested Kanu, that worsen the whole issue.

when the heat starts the zombies will feel it more

any disruption in Nigeria will lead to mass hunger in the North and SOuth west

cause there will be no allocation money

ignore them

i am from the SS and this country does not make sense


Nigeria has no future

NtoAkwaIbom:


Biafrans do not know jack about international politics and territorial sovereignty... They bliv the UN will just come n divide up nigeria like that.

How long has Catalinas in Spain hv been fighting ? Have they gotten dia country ? Go to google and type secessionist movement... You will see almost 400 of them... The thing is... The Un respects the sovereignty of nations.. Puerto rico has been fighting for statehood, n America has been ignoring it... Taiwan wants to be a country of its own, but without china agreeing.. It will continue to be a pariah state.

You guys feel that it Igbos are soooo special that evry1 will come n gv u anything u guys want.

Continue crying, n wailing... Una get long way to go.
