Dreambeat:
This is not the forum for such detail to be dished out especially when such a question comes from someone like you.

gidgiddy:


The Biafran agitators are not taking decisions for anybody, if anything, they are the ones fighting for everyone to decide for themselves via a referendum.

I will never understand how referendum is lumping unwilling people together when we are all lumped together in Nigeria without referendum

Area4Area:
And who told you they want a referendum or would you want to speak for them?

gidgiddy:

This is a masterpiece , real thought for food and food for thought

Ojiofor:


If Fulani will never agree to restructuring Nigeria that means its over their dead bodies before they will allow Biafra to be a state of its own .
Between the two which one is more likely achievable,a Restructured Nigeria or Biafra?
For me at this point I think it's more strategic and politically correct to agitate for a restructured Nigeria hence most of our neighbors are also comfortable with it than Biafra agitation.

gidgiddy:
One thing Abaribe does not seem to understand is that if it were not for the Biafran agitators, there would be no worthwhile talk of restructuring today.

Restructuring, while a good idea, has no grassroots support. If you make a call for 10,000 people to come out and protest for restructuring, not up 10 people will come out. But if you call 10,000 to come out for Biafra, 10 times that number will come out.

The core North are totally against restructuring and nobody can do anything about. Restructuring is just a pipe dream

Eventually, people like Abaribe will see that there is no hope that Nigeria will ever be restructured and that's when he will realise that Biafra is the only hope of Igbos

Dreambeat:
Abaribe is entitled to his own opinion.This is why we are Igbos.Even the ‘least significant’ (for the want of better expression) person has an opinion.Everyone who has a contribution to make, the person’s voice MUST be heard.We are republicans, exactly why the way Nigeria is currently run is unacceptable by us.It is against what we stand for, it’s against our value.There are those who have divergent view from Abaribe’s, with plausible reason too.I believe that a Biafra with a sea border will be the best.As for the oil, it will be irrelevant in a couple of years time but we need the sea with or without the ND.

Osagyefo98:


Make a come back and see reasons many are talking.

Biafra with any SS is as dead as Nigeria.
biafra is all about Igbo.
No sane igbo man will support such.

Continue with you and kanu pipe dreams

I get mighty pissed when I read awfully ignorant posts like this. Makes me think I'm talking to a toddler.

Giddy, I dont know how old you are and how well you understand what referendum means.

Here's the thing.

YOU ADMINISTER A R3FFERENDUM ON A PEOPLE ONLY IF THEY ASK FOR IT!

Have we asked for a referendum? The answer is NO!!

Have we asked you guys to fight for us? NO!!

So, where exactly are you coming from for goodness sake?

gidgiddy:


Who is us? Below are videos from youtube of Ijaws of Rivers state, Ibibios of Akwa Ibom and Efiks of Cross River all reaffirming that they are Biafrans and they want referendum.

If Biafra is just about Igbo then its impossible to leave the so called SS out of it. The simple reason is that 60% of Rivers state, 35% of Delta state, the 12 communities that make up Igbanke in Edo state, the Legbo Igbos of Cross River amongst others

There are millions of in Igbos who are indigenous to the called SS and nobody is going to leave them behind.

It should be noted that what makes a person to be Igbo is not belonging to the SE. The Igalas of Anambra, the Idomas of Enugu and the Ibibios of Abia all belong to SE but are not Igbos. What make a person to be Igbo is speaking Igbo as the ancestral language, having an Igbo surname and practicing Igbo culture. That is is why there is no difference between former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, an Ikwerre man from Rivers state, and my friend Chibuike Amaechi, an Nsukka man from Enugu state

Both speak Igbo as their ancestral language, have Igbo surname and practice Igbo culture.

you just brought up pictures of people who may be living in their localities and forming locals, go through my links and see what the representatives of the SS minorities are saying

MetaPhysical:


Ibos brag...they say Biafra will be Dubai.

Who doesnt want better thing? Forget about bringing people in. Build Biafra first.....na people go dey waka come join, no need to beg.

Ibo is working with a handicap.

MetaPhysical:
Abaribe should go and sitdown.

He is a surety for a separatist. Stand where your heart is, no need for double speak.

SOME FINAL THOUGHTS
Why are we not Investing at Home
Lack of Infrastructure. Should we continue to blame the Fed Govt for the dilapidated infrastructures in Ala Igbo? What of our home governments in Igbo States? Sam Mbakwe of blessed memory did not wait for the Fed Govt before undertaking massive rebuilding of old IMO State. We think that we have not given our best to our people with the little we got. Insecurity. Nowhere have we hurt ourselves and investment in Ala Igbo than in the insecurity pervading all parts of our homeland. Of course the latest imbroglio in Abia especially in Aba and Umuahia has worsened matters. We run the risk of undoing all the efforts made in promoting 'made in Aba' that we had embarked on as a catalyst for growth in Ala Igbo. Industries have relocated from Ala Igbo to other parts of Nigeria especially Lagos and Ogun States because of the very serious insecurity such as kidnappining and armed robbery faced by those who invest at home. We cannot be looking for investors and yet make our place not conducive to investment. Unemployment is the single biggest problem we have in Ala Igbo today. Before this time due to our domestic investments and industry, this was not a very big problem but due to the dis-investment going on today in Ala Igbo today we are faced with a existential problem in our hand

I don't give a shit if the people of Sokoto are asking to join biafra. What I am saying is, IGEDE PEOPLE HAVEN'T ASKED YOU TO FIGHT FOR THEM AND THEY HAVEN'T AKSED FOR A REFERENDUM.

STOP LUMPING US INTO YOUR BIAFRA DREAM.

If you don't get it this time, yo sure have serious issues upstairs.

Leave the SS alone, attaché no be by force

gidgiddy:


This one is just nonsense. The primary focus of the Biafran agitators is a referendum in the SS/SE area. I dont think any protest for Biafra has ever been held in Igede land.

candidtalk:



Indeed. Igbos themselves know they are a difficult people and this is why they have no problem staying out of the SE and neglecting the region, once they leave, only to be making insincere noise, from all other corners of the earth, that others are holding them back.

The actions of Igbos , such as neglecting their own region, show they are aware of the unspoken truth which is that the the Igbo man is his own biggest enemy and not the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani man as they tell the world 24/7 and non-stop.

Look at how Igbos drag the land of others with them once domiciled there, be it Accra or Lagos, to note a people who are not ideologically wedded to the idea of their own nation yet insincerely claim daily that this is what they want the most. The neglect and underdevelopment of the crime-ridden SE says otherwise.

ConqueredWest:



Wrong

Totally Wrong

It is much easier to get Biafra than a Restructured Nigeria.

Abaribe has been in the Senate for a long time, why hasn't him achieved Restructuring.?

gidgiddy:


People say that Igbos neglect their homeland but the truth is that there are few places in Nigeria, if any, that is more developed than Igbo land. The fact that Igbos are well traveled and domiciled all over the world does not take away for a second their right of self determination. Israelis are even more well traveled and domiciled all over the world than Igbos, it did not take away their right to having an independent state of Israel.

Ojiofor:


Tell me how you are going to get Biafra.20 years already gone in the second phase of struggle for Biafra.
