PDJT: You are no longer ECOWAS citizens and can't move around freely. The Alien land act comes into effect and Biafrans in Nigeria with land and buildings lose it all. You might need a visa into Nigeria or any other ECOWAS country to visit because Nigeria could veto the entry of Biafra into ECOWAS. Biafra is surrounded by Nigeria and entry or exit into/from Biafra into Nigeria would be at Nigeria's discretion. I can go on and on. Britain is still having problems with the EU after brexit, you think it's that easy |

Lol ....the igbos want the south south not for oil but because of access to see In the propose biafra each of the provrence control her resources and pay tax to the central government ...so whats the fuss about For me i think igbos should stop protecting south south , doing this makes us look desperate Im sure akwa-cross would follow igbos the rest can stay in nigeria Once we have access to sea the rest is history 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Yyeske: -Today’s Biafra restoration movement isn’t for unwilling groups. What we don’t want is another Nigeria. -Biafra offers a better deal for any group within it - Resource control as practiced in United States. -You and I know, there is huge desire from our people to restore Biafra, that’s why Nigeria is uncomfortable. Let’s have a Democratic vote on it today, if Biafra doesn’t get more than 80%, then we would all abandon the movement. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Yyeske: Very funny. They want other bigger ethnic groups to be checkmating Igbos but it is the bigger ones than have been running things since the end of the war and marginalising them for 50 years. 80% of their Oil wealth is already in the hands of the Notherners. Even the restructuring they want is not possible because the North dont care about it. It's like the story of the person who thought mosquitoes were his problem until he opened his eyes and realised that the room was full of reptiles 6 Likes 1 Share |

PDJT:Whichever way you argue your point, have it at the back of your mind that Biafra would be surrounded by Nigeria and you need a deal with Nigeria to operate as a functional country. Britain with it's free ports and wealth is still having problems with the EU |

PDJT:I want a Biafra myself but what I've been saying is that we can't get it by ourselves alone, we are already involved in Nigeria and others must be involved if we decide to move. We should stop feeling we can get it alone, never possible and the mistake of '67 must never be repeated. |

food4tot:this was the biafra recognised by 7 countries in 1967. The war was fought in all areas...including calaba and ijaw lands...the vp of biafra was from akwaibom. If biafra succeded in 1967 this would have been the map...nothing less |

Yyeske:yen yen yen....biafra goes...nigeria will desolve fast...and why should we join ecowas...because a small percent of igbos have property in the defunct nigeria? Their business. We warned them. We would join our brothers in central africa where we belong. Stop talking jargon. If niger delta forms their own country we wont be surrounded by nigeria...we can negotiate with niger delta to use sea ports.

Biafra, being a purely PRO AFRICAN concept will always be a success. We have seen what Nigeria was, is, and will forever be, despite all the prayers- A satanic “country” where people only care about themselves and their brothers and sisters only (even pass their own spouse and kids self)....

You don't seem to get it. In Nigeria, Hausa-Fulani is being checkmated by Igbos and Yorubas while Igbo /Hausa are counterbalanced by Yorubas through getting the minorities to their sides. In Biafra, Igbos alone will make up about 60% of the population and no single tribe can challenge them. If Biafra had succeed, by now Ekoi, Annang, Ikweres, Etche, Ijaw may have been assimilated into the emerging Igbo Nation. kingzizzy: |

Once Biafra is created the thieves parading themselves as politicians would end and their activities would be Checked seriously eg. Rochas.... though I supported this government in 2015 with the belief that they would fight corruption but I was wronged Although it would take some years for Biafra to develop as a strong nation....SS does not want to join the SE due to the fear of being dominated by the Igbos guess what? If you are familiar with history This what the northern elites planted years ago..Enemity between the SE and SS..... Biafra would definitely be better than Nigeria X10 Igbos are workaholic besides they are all over the world so believe me once Biafra is created you would see vast progress..... Foreign investors are afraid to invest in Nigeria because of various reports in the social media.... Even if SS eventually joins SE and create Biafra with time Biafra would be among the developed countries.. Very soon Oil would no longer have value leaving the technology advance countries with and advantage 3 Likes 1 Share |

Yyeske:mumu...they did....millions of them did and a few of them fought as soldiers in the army...they were the 1st place nigeria invaded...from the sea. Ijaw areas fell 1st....calabar stood for some months and asaba fought fully till 1970. Poor student of history....many of them then even knew very little about this divional tribal politics we play today. Many of them saw zik as their leader. P.s not all igbos fought for biafra. Can we now say the villages of those prominent igbos didnt fight. U guys are revisionists sha 1 Like 1 Share |
