You have just said it. Igbos expected injury from Buhari. They expected the worst psychologically and got it. The truth is that I don't think Buhari hates Igbos but I am sure you hate him and you psychologically prepared for conflict. How is it possible that a region voted against someone 97% ?. What were you thinking?.It is very sick, very tribal. Yorubaland, Edo and middle belt were 60/40 APC.
Believe me Ibo land is not normal . The future will be very interesting for a people that do business trading with other lands, living in other lands and apparently hate other people.


Lmao, u guys are so jobless. So buhari luvs igbos.... lmao. U think buhari came to the spotlight today Pls goan ask older people to educate u on the history of buharis hatred on igbos. start learning from the civil war down to 1983/1985.

Nnamdi kanu didn't ask you to commit genocide against hausas and yorubas abi?
Go declare that Biafra then leave the rest
You didn't get the memo right? cheesy grin cheesy grin
Biafra is already declared!
It speaks volumes about your understanding and intelligence if you didn't know that.
You're not seeing the state within a state, nation within a nation already in existence right?
Continue...!

Because the only way to get your referendum for now is by war and hope you will be there at the warfront when it starts, don't pray for a war because I know you've never experienced a riot
why do you people keep saying WAR,when the boko haram war is still raging. IPOB is an agitating group and not a war monger.

[quote author=NigeriaKitchen post=60106009][/quote]

buhari has decried d herdsmen killings over n over again bro. Don't u read newspapers apart from biafra-ic ones?

His fight against corruption has taken him to many areas, d popular ones like saraki n dasuki r closer to him in region so u don't have any base here either.

Even as liberal as Ebele was, he still arrested kanu during his tenure, only dt it wasn't so widespread. This is because any govt can see dt kanu is a threat to unity.

I agree with u dt buhari's appointments leave a lot to be desired wrt our region

You may not know him then. I've known him during his early days of his hate speech on radio Biafra, calling Nigeria Zoo. That lead me to make enquiry on his antecedence.
How is it conveniently possible for an active member on nairaland politics section not to know about Nnamdi Kanu before his arrest?

Not everyone is genetically ignorant like you are.

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?


Boko haram & Northern politics fell on GEJ while IPOB & Niger Delta Militants fall on PMB. The lesson ? Every cloud has it's own silver lining, my 2 kobo thought

How many years are you and when did you Start surfing the internet?

Kanu even called for the boycott of the 2015 election, that's why Jonathan who got over a million vote in Abia in 2011 could only muster 300,000 votes.


he even arrested him once and released him ASAP. that's what intelligent leaders do, Ignore, don't talk about 97% 5%, don't appoint family, same religion, and same ethnic group into key position.


in fact, primordial sentiments brought about it.

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


Can you explain how this go will happen; what will happen to the non cash assets and investments of the igbo businessman. It's like many are ignorant of of acquisition of land by aliens law Cap 461 and the various restrictions on foreign businesses in Nigeria. Even an Ecowas passport permits only a 90 day stay and restricts work or employment. Dual citizenship is for the remain to grant not for the exited to claim as a right. It seems to me that very little thought has gone into the "go" movement.
By the way , personally I am for " go"

But It sounds like " go" means - let's start our Republic but let's keep everything the same. Which of course with the overheated atmosphere is impossible.

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.

Buhari was an excellent soldier , an officer and a gentleman. He had nothing against Igbos but had to to do a soldier's job according to rules of engagement. I'm sure this goes for Ojukwu and other Biafran military officers as well.

This is where your intelligent has snowball into, calling a sovereign nation a zoo. A zoo that all your life is still attach to for now till you get your breakthrough of BIAFRA.
Rwanda genocide began same way, when typical agitators began to called Rwanda zoo and the result is lost of millions lives.
You guys need to apply restraint in your approach to drive home your desire but not to dehumanised other tribes by saying they live in zoo. This is a plate of calling for war. Self determination is your right and every other groups right but trying to dehumanise others is anti-self determination. You people need to stop foul language and act intelligently.
Come to think of it, Nnamdi Kanu has not gotten his approach right. No government will just release part of its territory easily especially as it wasn't spelt out in the constitution. Until the National Assembly sit down and make it inclusive in the constitution, the executive would be handicapped. The Igbo legislators should be bold enough to raise its inclusiveness into the constitution don't give more life to the agitation or else agitators may experience what they never bargain for.
Nigeria is signatory to UN self determination treaty but Nigeria refused reflecting it on its constitution. Until it's reflected, agitation for self determination would just be a daily jamboree and if not properly managed, it may result to what we're running from.

They only want access to sea and oil


Wether south south goes with Biafra or not, you should know that when Biafra is achieved, south south will also seek out of Nigeria and you can't stop them. they know it's better with ibos than with rest of Nigeria. Nobody is forcing them to join Biafra because they what to do at the appropriate time..
