What Happens If Biafra Gains Its Independence From Nigeria?

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Let me give you reality , and like I said i personally want the Igbos to go


look what happened last month when the Northern Youths released a statement saying the Igbos should leave their land since they wanted Biafra so badly, they didnt threaten the Igos they just said leave

there was an outcry.... I dont understand.... why arent they leaving to go back home ..... its a fukking joke

They have done nothing to actually prove they want biafra which is why its a big joke , no one is forcing igbos to live outside South South yet they refuse to come home

Another reason why your leaders are hypocrites , remember when they asked Delta to join them? and delta said we dont want any part of that? ... why are you asking non Igbos to be part of Biafra? guess it has something to do with that oil money huh?

every Igbo state since independence apart from during the military times have been run by Igbo governors and administrations, people you voted for , if you arent happy about the condition of the South South how come you have never taken any of those thieving swines to task? or are you just going to pretend that everything is the fault of the federal government .....

no disrespect but an igbo man is quick to shout he wants Biafra but they are the most likely out of any tribe to move away from home.....

Im not trying to be insulting Im just being real, i dont play that tribalism shyt plus as I said Nigeria is too big , If people want to leave they should leave

my issue is when people arent honest with themselves .... plus Kanu is a snakeoil salesman.... you need to pick a better leader

- Re: Northern Youths
Do you think that Igbos living in the North (who may or may not wish to stay in Nigeria/remain Nigerians) should remain quiet when "youths" threaten to ethnically cleanse the North of Igbos? The only Igbos that raised an outcry about this were traitors like Orji Kalu or Okorocha. IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu simply said that this is how the North treats Igbos and we should leave. Simple. You have it confused, but I'm not surprised.

Moreover, Igbos can live and do business anywhere in the world. Just like how the Chinese or Bengalis can do that. All we want is a country. In the future, we will apply for visas if we want to do business with Fulani herdsmen and Afonjas.

- re: Delta
Half of Delta is Igbo. The Igbo speaking portion of Delta State will join Biafra. Ijaws should have a referendum whether or not they wish to join Biafra. Political self-determination is a right that should be afforded to all peoples. If Ijaws reject Biafra, then they can stay with getting 13 per cent oil deriviation but 100 per cent pollution in Nigeria.

- re: military times/Igbo elites
Most of Nigeria's history is military rule. We have rendered them irrelevant. You're boosting to people who don't know that Igbos will boycott the Anambra election to render the current Igbo political elite obselete.


-re: Kanu

I feel bad for the Yoruba. The Hausa-Fulani killed Abiola and now are pushing out Osinbajo and yet you still want "One Nigeria". What a joke. Kanu spent over a year in prison and did not change his views. He is the most principled person in Nigeria today.

The most esteemed Yoruba leader is that corrupt drug leader Tinubu.

Lagos is crowded because of the following:
Airport
Seaport

You guys are hypocritical to the highest order. Over 4 decades of constant rule without us have decimated the entire country's institutions.

After the war no single construction was done by the federal government for years. We had to start from scratch with 20 fukking pounds. All our lands and buildings were taken from us(and yes my granddad had buildings in kano and kaduna).
All the old companies which igbos had had a share in like leventis etc were taken over and you ran them to the ground due to obasanjo privatization program. Read up on it.(yes we had shares and paperwork to prove it)

Every single foreign company with which we had a share was sold for peanuts to you guys with loans which were given to you guy from our own money...similar to the oligarchy. How do you think the yoruba billionaires and the word owambe started? Lol

All federal funds(not state) were used for infrastructure projects in the south west and north but your lack of management skills destroyed them.

Do the math:
which tribe travels the most? Igbos.
Which tribe is more in import and export? Igbos.
Which tribe is the most educated(please check jamb records)? Igbos.

What should a sensible government have done? Build the seaport at onitsha and an airport at Imo and take taxes but your government's stupidity couldn't let you

We built an airport ourselves in imo with taxes over years and we couldn't get any assistance much less an intl rating. Why do you think Jonathan got such support regardless of his competency?
But they're airports all over the north for people who only travel during hajj.

We did the first off the grid electrical system for the states before obasanjo stopped it. Read on it.

With that 20 pounds and our resilience, where are we now and where are you???

We can do without you but a single mention of us separating gives you a heart attack.

Bless you. Daluu

Answers in bold

my friend you illustrate the problem a lot of Igbos have.... relentless chest beating, relentless empty boasting..... you are quick to move out of your lands because you are always at war with each other
We move out due to space restraints. The igbo man is curious by nature and always seeking to explore. The Chinese man travels, the brit travels but you stay within your enclave and assume.
Ps: read the UN report on the safest region. Hint: it's ours
..... like i said i live in Nigeria and I can tell you that the Yorubas want you to go, no beef we just dont want the noise
When you lose an election or when your candidates gets slaughtered(abiola) you are willing to scream separation
.... I cant speak on the Northerners but we in the South are happy for you to go so please dont act as if you are being prevented...
You have no power there hence the "cabal" is dealing with you and they overtook your apc party.
The reason why you have had a lot of problems in the North s because Igbos never respect their hosts , anf what an Igbo man would not tolerate in his land he would do in another mans land .......

watch this video by ahmadu bello folks

And see what a politician says about our tribe because we are ambitious. The Americans didn't become the wealthiest by sitting on their thumbs all day.
Rather than utilizating ambition for the greater good, they decided to commit the first genocide in the African continent.
Ask yourself, why is it that an igbo man requires a score higher than everyone else just to attend a university. Isn't that promoting mediocrity? Who's fault is it that we want to live in a large house outside our state? Do we go around disturbing you in our own states ? No cos we can compete anywhere

Invest in your own communities, stop investing in other places ....move back home......... stop calling yourselves Lagosians and then maybe others will take you seriously
We do..After all we own almost 100% of ours and a huge chunk of yours. Do you tell the Chinese not to invest in Brazil ?

Oh, and by the way many Ijaws want Biafra too - Asari Dokubo (Ijaw leader)
How Biafra can be achieved immediately - Asari Dokubo - Daily Post Nigeria

Niger Delta ex-militant leader, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, has highlighted ways the Igbos and other ethnic groups seeking the actualization of a sovereign state called Biafra can achieve their dream sooner than expected.

Asari called on Biafra agitators not to entertain fear in search of what he described as their legitimate right, adding that it is time for everyone to stand up and fight for what they believe in diplomatically.

DAILYPOST had quoted the ex-militant saying that, asking him if he is a Biafran is like asking if his name is Asari Dokubo.

In a follow up interview obtained by DAILYPOST on Youtube, Asari declared that at 53 years old, he has nothing to fear, adding that since death is inevitable for all men, it does not really matters to him when he dies.

He called on Biafrans to start organizing street walks in the United Kingdom, United States and other parts of the world to share the plight of Biafrans to the whole world.

He said, “Every one of us anywhere in the world, today, people are celebrating Trump but what diplomatic effort are we making that will direct Trump to continue the course of the Independent State of Biafra? Or are we just making noise on social media, are just making noise?

Saraki reveals greatest threat to Buhari’s economic policies


“We must do the diplomatic street walk. We must be demonstrating it in the United States of America, Asia, Europe, everywhere.

“We must keep the people in light about the issue of Biafra, about the plight of Biafra. And that is why, for the first time Goodluck [Jonathan] did something that I like, when he went to the American conference to talk about the Southern Kaduna people and so on.


“That is a beginning, that’s a start. Other people should emulate that because it is a ploy to direct the attention of the people of the world to what is happening to the people of Biafra; what is happening to the people of Southern Kaduna; what is happening to the people of the Plateau.

“It is a ploy and we must all stand up and move. For me if its only 3 of us, let it be. This is the right time to stand up. I’m 53 years now and no one knows when anyone will die.

“No one knows when Asari Dokubo will die, no one knows when Buhari will die, no one knows when Nnamdi Kanu will die, Nobody knows when Uche [Madu] will die. But we surely will all die. Every one of us will die. So why are we afraid of death? Something that inevitable; something that will surely come.

“So that why we must all rise up and stop eating crumbs from the tables of the invaders. We are not afraid of anything. The only that will please us and restore our dignity is the actualization of Biafra and our independence.”

Some Yoruba are brave. Like Fayose of Ekiti. We love him because he won't allow his people to be slaughtered by Fulani herdsmen:

you want to drop tribal insults.....

I feel sorry for Igbo people


Yoruba tradition such as Ifa is being practiced around the world... thats how proud we are... we dont talk the talk like you people ,

Igos are now calling themselves Jews and practising Judaism .... lol proud Biafrans yet you are ready to ditch all your customs for a country that doesnt give a shyt about you....

dont feel sorry for Yorubas, thats why you all ruch to live in our lands.... thats why majority of foreign investment is in yoruba states, thats why majority of tourism (what little there is ) is to yoruba lands such as Lagos, Benin or Ife ....


didnt Alex Ekwueme one of YOUR Igbo leaders say Gods chosen people was the white man .......

Id rather have a crook like Tinubu than c00ns like Kanu and Ekwueme that worship white people as leaders,,,,,,,

Yorubas arent the ones that are mad, were happy... we just want you to go with as little fuss as possible ..... and once again unlike you im not a bitter tribalist i have friends all over and im not petty like you but the truth is the truth

- re: Jews
Israel gave us weapons while Nigeria was supported by Britain, the Soviet Union and Egypt. I am grateful for continued Israeli support for the Biafran cause.

- re: Igbo investment in Yorubaland
Don't get mad if Igbos are taking over Oduduwa Republic. We can't help but grow our businesses. Stop trying to claim Benin. It is Edo land.

- re: Ekwueme
Stop lying. Is this not your Awolowo beaming like a slave among the cacs? There's a reason why Yorubaland is called the "Slave coast"

If you want us to go, close your nyash and leave us to sort this out without your natural cowardly influence.

@MansaMusa i am so ashamed because I know what we could have become... A lot of brehs don't know that by the 1960s we were poised to become a superpower. Second most peaceful nation in the world. Lots of resources etc
We had it. Even during the coups igbos tried to negotiate the aburi accords...billed as one of the best African solutions to a nation of many tribes.

Read it and feel my disappointment
Aburi Accord: THE “SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE” THAT GOT AWAY – may30.org

After Nigeria was dragged to the brink of the abyss by two military coups in 1966, its military leaders met to try to bring the country back from the brink. The meeting evolved into perhaps the best documented constitutional debate of all time..(it's long but good)

@Nemesis I sound harsh but I assure you I bear you no ill will. The reason this irritates is because I know what we could have been. If you haven't read the aburi accords you won't understand. My family was close to the action when we had independence...my grandad's was with zik and fela kuti's mom. We were literally there.

Osinbajo is not running the country. Mamman Daura is. Stop pretending. The Yoruba cabal will see when El Rufai becomes your master.

Tinubu lost a fight against Buhari when he was on his sick-bed weighing 120 pounds. That's why Tinubu is quiet and enjoying his heroin money.
