hammerU: What is the correlation between this and need to have a pan Igbo independent group pursing for Igbo interests only within Nigeria with long term and final aim of pulling Ndiigbo out of Nigeria? Why must you incorporate the tower of Babel called Niger Delta into Biafra? Must they be part of Biafra before you work with them on how to leave Nigeria. And by the way, did these people even tell you that they want to leave Nigeria? Why can't we for once think rationally. Seriously, IPOB get on my nerves. I wouldn't care if not that you bring Ndiigbo shame by your behavior and allow inconsequential groups throw insults at Igbo through your ill thought unity begging. It's 3 days to end of 2019. You guys must repent and stop this abnormal behaviour already. You are misrepresenting Ndiigbo. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Eastlink: I like Kanu and I have defended him so many times and have been called unprintable names. I support him a lot on moral grounds because of his ability to speak truth to power. But my patience is wearing thin. I am loosing patience because his refuses to stop involving south south in this IPOB movement. I don’t wish him or the movement bad but 2020 is when I will make my final decision if I should withdraw the rest of my support for IPOB. 2 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza: The idea Igbo can just leave Nigeria is Utopian. It is either we leave as we came or face another tragic episode involving the SS as we did the SW. 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? |

hammerU: So let them work for Niger delta republic, provide logistic support when you can, and stop dragging them into Biafra. As an Igbo, I want an only Igbo Biafra where Igbo language will be the ligua franca and language of instruction in schools. Where no lazy ethnic group will wake up one-day and start accusing Ndiigbo of domination. Worst still, I don't want another mini Nigeria, a heterogeneous entity full of ethnic groups united by common shared Igbophobia. That's exactly what Biafra with those Myriads of divergent ethnicities in SS will be. Such country will have no bright future. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Eastlink: U want us to exchange bullet with Federal forces and bombs and fighter jets? So u can blame us further? Look, it is impossible to please everybody at the sametime. IPOB is a peaceful non-violent organisation. We will utilise diplomatic channel to secure a better deal for Biafrans. |

horsepower101:Ndigbo have one trait that we must try to curtail. We stick our neck for what we believe in. And when we make up our mind, there is no going back. This is a good attitude, but sometimes it gives chalartans a room to jump into the bandwagon and destroy our collective purpose. Sometimes, we need to sit down and draw parallel. The quest for Biafra was a noble intention for which our father's lost everything they had in the 1966-70. We rose up in spite of the humiliation and regain more than what we lost. The Biafra of the mind ideals was what rekindled our spirit to be the best in what we do. The independent state of Biafra died in 1970. Igbo leaders began to find their feet politically until the 2nd republic which brought in Obasanjo. In 1999, some group of people began a push for Biafra restoration. If it was for the fight to end marginalization of Ndigbo in Nigeria, we would have had an headway. Maybe in few years, get the Presidency, join Igbo areas in the SS and merge them in new SE created states. Keep agitating until things are balanced. But it didn't happen that way. Those who sponsored MASSOB and IPOB were not Igbo's. The purpose of founding these groups was to neutralize the strength of Ndigbo politically and push us into the wilderness fighting alone and aimlessly, while other ethnicity keep benefitting from our absence in the political landscape. At the end, we keep losing vital grounds at the expense of others, that was how GEJ became President at our expense. And this is how we would keep losing ground unless we wake up. There is no way Nigeria would be balkanized without other ethnicities agree to go their separate ways. And since other ethnicity enjoy the country the way it is, and won't mind fighting against us a second time. Isn't it time we begin to use our heads? Biafra is a second option no doubt, but we should allow it happen naturally. We should beware charlatans with selfish motives. |

My phone is out of juice, am out for now. Was disappointed that faulks road has gone bad-hope it's failure is corrected and the project(about 3-4 years old) complete at last.Construction work is going on at some roads, I hope to cover more areas in aba especially the ph road axis. While infrastructure is still very much a problem in aba, investments are coming in very fast in the city. Apart from the market square mall, I noticed 2 new facilities being setup within the city.I also saw construction going on, on another project that might be a supermarket or mall also. I would definitely post pics of some of this projects- both private and government 2 Likes

hammerU: I see no smartness in IPOB ways. You like indulging in self deceit. The average Ipobian hates hearing about Niger delta republic or South South. You rather have those alien groups with Igbophobic mindsets in same utopian entity with Ndiigbo while trying as hard to please them, even if it means making Igbos their slaves. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Emotional? Been reading your take on this issue, and you seem to be the emotional one here. You don't lump a group of people who haven't shown commitment with your cause into your struggle. What is wrong with you guys? Same way you got shortchanged because you believed that igboid ethnic groups from Rivers State would identify with and support you during the civil war. What happened afterwards? They denied you, sided with the federal troops to blockade you from the south,and took possession of your grandfather's properties in Port Harcourt. Yet, you haven't learned any lesson. Can you cite any documented evidence which shows that the Ibibios or any other non Igbo tribe are eager to become a part of Biafra? Just one. Didn't know that IPOB was good at negotiating deals ![]() Pray tell, what single deal has it successfully negotiated till date? hammerU: 2 Likes 1 Share |

IF U HOLD UR STATE GOVERNORS TO ACCOUNT, THE WAY U DO IPOB, WILL THE SS NOT RESPECT NDIIGBO BY NOW? JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE EAST AND SEE HOW BACKWARD IT LOOKS. IS IPOB TO BLAME FOR THAT?

Re: . by whirlwind7(m): 4:49pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
hammerU: There you go. You succeeded in making a lot of noise while totally avoiding the issue raised. Only time I mentioned IPOB in my comment was in reference to your claim about the group negotiating for a better deal. Don't dwell on that. I asked you what made you believe that other ethnic groups are so hørny for Igbos to take them to bed in a Biafra they had never shown any support for? 3 Likes 1 Share |
