Reasons Why I Can't Support Biafra As A Nigerian by SamzackD(m): 9:50am On Sep 12, 2017 |
For quite sometime now there has been an ongoing clamour for Biafra, and it is an ongoing cause that can't be ignored, cause whether you choose to admit or not every Nigerian wants a "Biafra", In the sense that we want a country that will guarantees the safety of every of its citizens, a country that will make available affordable world class healthcare for every of its citizens, a country were leaders are held accountable to everything they do by its citizens,a country that can make available jobs for its citizens, a country with respect to the rule of law were justice will be available to all irrespective of class, a country where all men are free irrespective of your tribe, class, religious affiliation & beliefs. And I feel until these can be guaranteed to the people of Nigeria, the agitation for secession will continue. But as a Nigerian I feel the head of the secession group IPOB has failed to convince me on why I should support the Biafra cause, Because if you think of it just anybody could yell or cry secession but only a "Leader" can win the hearts of his opposer's not just with words that convinces all Nigerian's but with a plan, like think of it, Biafra is a country that's gonna be built on bigotry, a country that will issue visas to all except the Yoruba's or Hausa's, cause if you observe IPOB members they are more likely to be involved in tribal wars, I've read a couple of hate comments made by the IPOB members here on Nairaland, and there was one made by a user that said 'he can't wait for Biafra to come to fruition, so as to kick out all Yoruba's and Hausa's' ![]() If we take a look at the greats of this world like Nelson Mandela & Martin Luther king Jnr. you'll find that although they were oppressed cause of their race, they preached equality for all men of diff race, Martin Luther king Jnr. was quoted saying "...All men should be judged, not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character...", and Nelson Mandela on the other hand allow me to paraphrase was quoted saying "...He didn't just want a South Africa for the blacks but he wanted a south Africa where men of different race can be free to live in.....and if need be this was a cause he was willing to die for..." And that was what won him the heart of the world leaders, Nnamdi Kanu needs to take a clue from the greats that has done it before him , he can't be calling for succession from Nigeria on account of discrimination based on tribe when the country he's fighting for will be no diff from Nigeria, And I mentioned earlier of Nnamdi Kanu convincing opposser's by being a leader with a plan, like i want to ask why hasn't any IPOB member come out to ask Nnamdi Kanu of plans he has for Biafra or what plan he has to achieve the Biafra cause, because all we keep hearing this guy talk about is how the Nigeria govt is corrupt -'yah we know that', how the Nigeria govt has been marginalizing the Igbo- 'know that already', or how Fulani herdsmen have been killing Nigerian's in their farm and the govt can't say or do anything cause the president is Fulani - 'like dude we know that already', like reciting the woes of the govt would give you what you want, it never can and never will, but rather a plan will. Cause what I expect of a leader is for him to come out and give us a plan on how he's gonna make Biafra the country with the largest economy in Africa, how he's gonna make sure every Biafran can wake up to a country that guarantees him the safety of his/her life and property, tell us or rather educate is on how you're gonna make education in Biafra world class and affordable for all state's men, please educate us on how the manpower and brain power of Biafra would change the technology market in Africa, tell us of your plans to make the Biafra military the best in Africa, tell us of what's gonna be of Biafra nuclear program and how it's gonna benefit or protect Africa and her people Tell us your plan on making Biafra the only country in Africa with veto power, tell us your plan for outta space exploration, give us your plans to end poverty in Biafra and Africa at large, give us your plan on how you are gonna make health care in Biafra world class, give us your plan on how the universities in Biafra would teach and educate world leaders that would shake the world In their given field. Tell the world of the Biafra you've planned and how its going to be of benefit to the world ,sell this vision to the people that shake the world and watch them give you your Biafra, cause trust me the world already has enough poverty stricken country, and nobody would waste their time dividing Nigeria only to create another Nigeria, and unless you sell them your plans for Biafra everyone's gonna take you for another soon be poor country to feed, Now trust me I love a revolution but every revolution had a revolutionary leader with a vision and plan to actualise that vision, cause trust me I'll rather stick with the Nigeria I know (maybe bad and all) than go with some Biafra full of uncertainties, only cause the leader failed to plan ahead for the Biafra, so for me Nnamdi Kanu is no leader to me for failing to plan for the future of Biafra. I HOPE I'VE MADE SENSE #Peace 3 Likes 4 Shares |

![]() No, you made ZERO sense. You are only ranting incoherently because you are sticking your little finger on an issue you know nothing about. You absolutely know nothing about Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu. And your selfish crave for personal comfort (whilst demonizing someone who's sacrificing his personal comfort for all) is the greatest undoing of Nigerians. And by the way, your quack narrative about who a great leader should be is dead on arrival. Here is the reality: NO SINGLE REVOLUTIONARY LEADER in the global history got 100% support from everyone. Even God did not get 100% support from his creation - INCLUDING ANGELS. Have you not heard of Lucifer and atheists? Not even Jesus, the greatest leader that ever lived, had 100% support from everyone. So what nonsense are you ranting about? 35 Likes 6 Shares |

paschu: Dude I think you've got me wrong, I never tried to demonize Kanu, the guy came into Nigeria at the right time, when the country was in ruins, and he sold Igbo's the idea for Biafra(a country founded because of the 1963 genocide), nd that was revolutionary, cause it was gonna change the course of Nigeria history, but before i can believe in the biafra his selling he needs to tell me why its gonna be diff from the Nigeria we have now 1 Like 1 Share |

SamzackD:no he is right. First of all, yu did not raise all points to know, instead you want to mock our intelligence. An average Biafran does not rely on the government, so that is the basis of Biafra, so instead of going to abuja to collect money, you will give a little money to the centre and you will have to look inwards to make the money as federating unit, my own federating unit will compete with your own, in other to attract investors and make more money, each state has the ultimate control of things such as education, economic policie, health, agriculture, infrastructures (the central can always help), housing, security and a lot of other things, then the central has the responsibility of taking care of defence, foreign relations, embassies, they can now invest on space age and all what not, without being saddled with things the municipal governments should handle, as the case is in the zoo called naliejerià. 8 Likes |

GrandGarcon: Now I love what you just wrote there and I would be willing to die for the Biafra dream if and when KANU come's out and tell us this not crying about the woes of the govt, we know that already And you IPOB members should quit the hate comments, only insecure people do that if you feel you're great you don't have to call other tribe names to get that feeling, cause what you guy's are preaching is that if Biafra is to come into fruition it would be illegal to be a Yoruba or Hausa man And thats enough to scare possible investors away from your country, cause trust me we don't want another NK 3 Likes 2 Shares |

SamzackD: Femi Fani-Kayode is one of the most loved individual by biafrans even though he had once; Insulted Igbos Insulted Ojukwu Insulted Bianca It's not about you.... it's not even your support... If they want to go, you can't force them to say... it would only bring crisis, poverty and disaster to you all.. You can't force people to stay against their will. If their staying would benefit you, you have parley with them, if their staying would not.. they have to go... if you are not sure if they want to go, do a referendum. let party involve sit down and negotiate terms, especially oil revenue. this negotiation would bring peace. lastly you think an Igbo man won't do business or relate with you or give you job (that would bring mutual prosperity) because of ur tribe or religion... everybody is not like you.

SamzackD:When Kanu says confederation, what do you think he means? Kanu, Uchenna madu, Asari Dokubo are all fighting for Biafra, and they all say that Biafra will exist as a confederation, what do they mean? What insult? when somebody tells you the truth you dismiss it as hate speech. What of Buhari, how did Buhari become president of the zoo? He made lots of hate speeches okay. So if are angry about hate speech, start from Buhari. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Kazim88: Dude you said it will bring poverty and disaster on Nigeria , but there is already poverty and disaster in Nigeria ![]() And you're saying its not about my support, but i'm just like every other Nigerian (including Igbo's) that don't believe there is a future for Biafra without a plan, and the best you can do to win me over is tell me what plan your leader's got for Biafra , not write off About the part on doing business, No business relationship can work when the party involved holds hatred in heart against their tribe |

No point wasting your time, OP. You won't get reasoned debate from Cownu's devotees. They'll just insult you and that's all. For some of them, secession agitations is just some charade to massage their fragile egos. They actually know the SE desperately needs allies and that's why they're desperate to include the Niger-Delta and even states like Benue in their agitations. ![]() ![]() So don't expect any reasoned debate. Leave them to continue posting rubbish about the zoo that they eat from. It makes them feel better about themselves and boosts their self-esteem. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Obi1kenobi: I've got no problem with the Igbo's or IPOB, but like you said the agitation's are fueled by emotions and not brain's Nnamdi Kanu is just playing on their emotions, leaving out their brain, and it baffles me why a lot of people will gather around a man to support his vision that he hasn't told you his plan for, and that is what draws the line btw mere agitation and a revolution. |

SamzackD: I have nothing against them either. I was naive enough once to think you could have reasoned debate with IPOB yoots and thought Igbos of good conscience could debate and disagree on issues, but I found trading crude insults is their only way of communicating, so I've found myself adjusting to the new climate. ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |
