hammerU: What seaport problem? Pay the going rate and use the ports like we are already doing. Slowly work to acquire the technology and might to negotiate a river port access in the nearest future. Play your diplomacy politics very well. What is wrong with you lots? 5 Likes 1 Share |

MelesZenawi: Bro, their is no easy way to navigate the dangerous and traitorous political terrain of Nigeria and Igboland in particular. IPOB have done exceptionally well in this regard. At this position, it is a win win for us. Whether, Nigeria continues post 2023, it will do so with Igbo assuming a dominant role it had in the 1960s. Everybody is talking about Igbo Presidency and at least VP for 2023. If it breaks up, we are working on an all inclusive package to secure a prosperious economy in an economically viable state. |

Eastlink: I don’t care about the cultural aspect of IPOB. I care more about their membership which is 99% igbo. Besides every organization needs a leader. Whatever they choose to call their leader is their business. I know I will personally never address Nnamdi Kanu as supreme leader. I will only add Mazi to his name. Thats it. 1 Like 1 Share |

hammerU: You see my point. Those groups down south even hate you more than they hate Northerners. Go look at the presidential elections results in 1979 and 1983. Those people all voted for Shagari and Awolowo and only less than 1% of votes came from that region for Zik. This is a region that recently renamed a public edifice after Gowon. To put it in relative terms, it's akin to a group who worships Hitler, yet an Israeli wants to form a country with them. You think they are daft( which by the way, I totally disagree) while they hate you guts, your culture, your mannerisms, everything about you. Your demon is their hero and your hero is their demon. Have sat down with these people to discuss about their opinions about Ojukwu ? See I don't know what you guys smoke at IPOB , but I would advise you leave Ndiigbo out of it. 8 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza: If you see the way the groups down SS butcher each other, u will realize how much they love Ndiigbo. During the Warri crisis, only Igbos were allowed to trade, whilst these SS grooups butchered themselves like goats. Wat am saying is that the problem is not limited to Igbo alone. |

MelesZenawi: Mr realist, wat state are u going to trade with? Igbo dat the whole of Nigeria is not even enough to trade, and are fighting in Ghana for trading space. I think u emotional guys should just let IPOB do wat we do best and negotiate a good deal for us all. |
Re: . by Nobody: 10:51pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
hammerU: Are you the one they butchering? Moreover such scenerio rarely exist and stop making up stories to elongate threads why seeing yourself as if you making sense but you not. As far as I remember warri fighting is limited to politics of oil and power which I have witnessed working there. Nobody is targeted as other ethnicities mind their business. Is only persons like you who made up stories to justify their stand. As for me I see them as people who can't stand alone. Your actions speaks of how you behave viably in business life.

horsepower101: Even if Nigeria refuses. Ako bu ije and might makes right. They refuse you river port access? No problem, negotiate temporary payment agreement with them, then quietly plan long term, build your country, building your economy, develop your air hub, a landlocked country should look at the air, see Ethiopian air industry, build up your military might and technological know how while they are asleep living fat on your levies. And then one day, lay claim to your right and get rid of all that stands on your way. It's not everything that we must come and be talking online. IPOB and their unity begging business irritates and disgusts the living hell out of me, like what the hell people! You guys bring disgrace to Ndiigbo. 9 Likes 1 Share |

hammerU: You very myopic and I am cutting off as usual. Is like asking Ghana which states are they trading with? Asking Germany which country are they tradimg with? Asking Congo which country are they trading with. Last time I checked Igbos are also in those countries , trading there, paying their tax and living comfortably whilst taking up projects home wise based on aku luo uno. That's why I always asked your level of education because I don't want to believe how you continue to think like a frustrated bachelor's degree holder. 1 Like 1 Share |

hammerU: Open shop trading is not the future. You can't possibly be trying to make a successful country out of petty trading. I now understand why you lots are so persistent about seaports, all you think of is going to China to import cheap and low quality materials to come and sell. You think this is how you build a nation ? I tire for una mata. Sooner than later, Ndiigbo would have to find alternative to petty trading all over Nigeria or........ 6 Likes 1 Share |

hammerU:You don't fight for us. Bury your IPOB to yourselves. We don't want an IPOB Biafra headed by one supreme ant that fails to understand what we desire. If not for oil I doubt the sincere intentions of the illiterate IPOB. A new group that is solely Igbo in orientation must be formed. A group that will carry us along, fight for Igbo unity and fight for the interest of our people is what we want and not a useless IPOB. The idea of Biafra of no headway is totally rejected by us. We rather remain in Nigeria than enter a potential confederacy of ethnicity which would be worst than south Sudan. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

hammerU: Stop living in the past. No Ibibio person is interested in your Biafra today. Whatever happened in the past is in the past, move on for once. You know fully well that Ibibio are not interested in your Biafra, but lack of group esteem is worrying you guys. How many sit at home orders have MASSOB and IPOB organized since 1999 to date? At least 20. Not for once did Ibibios observe one of them. You have observers on ground, even NK refused to visit Ibibioland when he was in Nigeria, he knows Biafra and IPOB don't enjoy the freewill of the people there. IPOB hierarchy are dishonest. They know fully well what the scores are but they choose to keep playing the ostrich, to what end? Go to their(Ibibio) facebook pages and mention Biafra and see the insult and hostility you will receive. Not one edifice or road is named after Effiong in Akwa ibom, they don't consider him a hero. Many even see him as a sellout. You can't abandon someone that doesn't want to be with you to start with, how hard is this simple logic to understand? 8 Likes 1 Share |

Eastlink: Have u seen the video where Nnamdi Kanu was a proud Nigerian? Did u see him campaign for Sowore release? We are not a racist organisation, if u want to continue to live in a fairy tale Nigeria of Ohanaeze going to beg Arewa youth or your Governors selling each other out to Hausa and Yoruba, just say so. We are not about any of the things u accuse us of, but a better life for our people. Y should a Northerner go to University with a lower cut off mark and a South easterner with highest cut off mark? Wat have your Igbo politicians or state governors said about that? IPOB are the only group that have truily challenged the Nigeria State and paid heavily too but still defiant. 1 Like |

pazienza: It’s always good to have someone inject a dose of reality to discussions. You have accomplished that. Biafra May not happen In our lifetime. Not because lack of support. Rather because of delusional and misguided igbos who are still waiting on south south to come with them. The sooner we all realize that they have moved on and don’t want no business with us, the faster Biafra will come. 3 Likes 1 Share |

horsepower101: Do u want the same thing that happen during Biafra war to repeat itself? The middle-belt fought very hard becos they could not see themselves in Nigeria without the Igbos. So they fought us. The same was the case for the Yoruba in the SW. The day we try to leave this country without the SS, will be another lesson for Igbos to learn. Remember wat happened to Adaka boro, wen he tried to leave and wat Aguiyi Ironsi, Nnamdi Azikiwe and other Nigerians did to them. Be wise! |

hammerU:You still don't understand that Kanu does not have our interest at heart. Anyone that uses Biafra as a strategy automatically become an Igbo freedom fighter. What does Nnamdi Kanu's attitude portray to your likes? Today proudly Nigeria, support GEJ, support the fight against Boko Haram etc. And you wake up tomorrow and then Tomorrow Biafra, kill Awusa and Yoruba baboon, No Election, No Referendum, Support Trump, Igbos are Jews, Middle belt is Biafra, support Shiites, Support Orji Kalu And you wake up next tomorrow and then. Next tomorrow, Befriends FFK, Befriends Sowore, and who knows he may even befriend Tinubu or Buhari he ask you guys to hate. What does these tell you? It shows you a common trait of a typical politicians. Until we stop allowing charlatans use our sympathy for Biafra hoodwink us, we'll never have an headway politically. IPOB members are already doomed, but please don't drag Ndigbo into that mission. 4 Likes 1 Share |

horsepower101: The point here is very simple, SS cannot go on with one Nigeria once we leave. This people beat us to the gun and wanted exit from Nigeria whilst we were busy romancing the North. It is either they get Niger Delta Republic or they provide Nigeria with an avenue to blockade Igbo country. U know wat the last blockade cost Ndiigbo in Human capital? |
