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.

Your propaganda won't change anything, nobody is dragging your Biafra with you. You guys can leave every parts of Nigeria now and settle in your Biafra Republic and nobody will stop you, but know that your boundaries end within your Igbo speaking area and any attempt to want to drag middle belt and Niger Delta into your Biafra will shows that you are only out to make trouble but not to get your Biafra and will be resisted.

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

Was Kanu even on radio during Jonathan's regime?


Did u escape from Psychiatric hospital recently

Radio Biafra came online in eastern Nigeria in 2013 n Nnamdi kanu championed that IPOB shouldn't vote at all in the 2015 presidential elections that they are not Nigerians.

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?

As long as there is no violence.

The Yoruba people are in support of any arrangement that do not lead to war, whether Biafra of Nigeria. We will not fight to keep you neither will we fight to help you go. Its not pride, its fact. Our only enemy is the one who picks up arms against us, either Igbo or Hausa.

You guys need to be strategic and think of the body count. When the choice is between the status co and what happened in 1967, we will choose the status co.



1967 doesn't scare anyone.

Op, there was high call for biafra when President Goodluck was ruling but the government put aside their case, the government did not notice or look into any other them, the government assume that nothing was happening. The government dis not arrest any biafra agitator.. But in this present government, They made Nnamdi kanu famous by arresting him.. The government leave what they are supposed to do and start looking into matters that doesn't matter.. Just imagine, ur government monitoring social media, is that one an agenda or what... Take a look when PMB was not in the country for 105 days... And his vice president has not for one day say something about biafra or Nnamdi Kanu... Most things in life, u are not supposed to put ur self in it.. U jus have to be silent......

I am glad nobody wants a war.

Can you name one Yoruba man in the top 5 of Jonathan's administration? I don't think the Yoruba Nation started a protest for that.

You said, what has Nigeria done for the east? I ask what had Nigeria done for any part of Nigeria. The average Igbo man is still much better off than the average Hausa Man. Has the decades of rule really favored the North or any part of Nigeria. The only difference is that maybe the people embezzling the funds are more from a part of the country, not that the fund is being used to develop a single part to the detriment of the others.

My point is, we are all victims. We all share in the fate of Nigeria and have suffered enough so we should not shoot ourselves in the foot by trowing political stability into the wind.

Any protest must be peaceful and strategic.

How is it conveniently possible for an active member on nairaland politics section not to know about Nnamdi Kanu before his arrest?

Point of correction!
It is not only the Igbos that make up Biafra. Other tribes and ethnic groups inclusive. Rather it is the fear of an eventual marginalisation that is scaring others away.


No one is being scared away from biafra.
