What Happens If Biafra Gains Its Independence From Nigeria?

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Nikk a , how am I aa Afric00n for calling out people voluntarily identifying with Cac Impostors to form a Utopian ethnostate!?

Biafra is not an "ethnostate". If a referendum were allowed, it's possible that Ijaws and other groups may consider voting to leave Nigeria with Igbos. Nor will it be a utopia. But, It'll be better than Nigeria though!

Answer the question, please. He killed Ahmadu Bello AND HIS WIFE in cold blood. He was also a Hausa speaker,having lived in Kaduna his whole life. HOW DID YOU EXPECT THE HAUSA TO FEEL,SRSLY? ?

They should've reprimanded their brother and not killed thousands of innocent people and driven innocent millions out of their homes you bigot.

Those 4 distinct problems are extremely detrimental to Nigerians well being. Us northerners do contribute to the extrapolated birth rate. Many men both wealthy and poor have multiple wives . (My uncle included has 4 wives however he's financially stable to take care of them. He's very wealthy) however some aren't financially stable to do so leaving many children and families without adequate opportunities (school, necessities)

Employment I would argue is stagnant due to the heavy reliance on government jobs and crude/ refined oil export.

Nigeria has varying terrain to grow crops. My father used to say many many people used to do agriculture. There's still a lot of land to grow crops. However people are compacted densely in cities and neglect to keep the earth clean. (Plastic/ garbage/ waste/ oil/ gas from generators that are pollutants) but we could have far more exports if more people decided to grow crops. However in many places it's looked down upon similar to garbage men here in America. May not be the best job but it's necessary)

Ethno religious quarrels will be difficult to resolve. Different language/ customs/ wars.this is one issue I have no idea how one would solve. A united nigeria would be virtually impossible. Different religions and cultures have different agendas honestly this has been a battle all of Africa has been facing more millennia.

What are your thoughts on solutions?

1 - There's no solution to the demographic crisis. One child rule will lead to revolt.
2 - Thus, there's no solution to the jobs crisis.
3 - Political economy of oil will wither this century. Nigeria doesn't have the foundation to be a knowledge based economy. Plus there'll be great pressure on the land because of the population growth
4 - This will add to increased ethnic tensions. See Fulani herdsman

So you're bragging about the starvation of many people and being responsible for trapping Igbos in the hell hole named Nigeria?

Damn... Now I see why most "outsiders" especially blacks prefer Igbos over other Nigerians. I don't care if I get negged or burn bridges with some Yoruba posters.

This is what we've had to endure from them since the war. Most will claim to like Igbos but if you prod them a little, the hatred will come oozing out. Seeing this thread is reminiscent of Nairaland and a reminder of why we should go our separate ways.

There's gotta be solutions to every problem bruh no matter how grim or slim the chances. I mean a lot of our parents come to America for us to have a better life/ opportunity but there's gotta be a group of us to go back and help.

Biafra will not see the light of day and I say that because not all Igbo are united in the cause. The chief instigator, Nnamdi Kanu is a fraud. His recent comments shows us the FACT remains that Biafra cannot function without Oil and/or fertile farmland. Since he began his quest for "independence" he has forcefully tried to co-opt the Southern and Middle-Belt geopolitical zones into Bia-fraud. This is because Oil is king and southern Nigeria has it all and Biafra doesn't. The middle-belt has an abundance of farm land. The 5 Igbo states that primarily comprise Biafra are a landlocked region plagued with erosion and desperately needs direct access to the seaports Southern Nigeria has to offer in order to effectively utilize the skills Igbos are known for, trading. Nnamdi Kanu just told us that the Nigerian government offered to give him Biafra with the 5 Igbo states ONLY. He refused, and according to him there can be no Biafra without Benue and Rivers States . For those that don't know Nigeria, Rivers State is the oil and gas capital of Nigeria. Benue state has some of the most fertile farmland in Nigeria and the local populations of both states have repeatedly rejected the idea of biafra.

In fact all across Southern Nigeria all the ethnic social groups have denounced Biafra and do not support being forcefully included in the Igbos quest for self determination. Plus notable Persons of the igbo extract that happened to be alive during the first civil war have already condemned calls for Biafra after witnessing the death of millions of their Igbo brothers and sisters for a fruitless cause. These youngins like Kanu ain't ready for the kind of Civil war that will engulf Nigeria and all of West Africa that this agitation can bring.

It has already been stated that the Biafra agitation along with Boko Haram are just more of the same destabilization tricks used by the West to prevent Nigeria from reaching it's potential. Amnesty international has already been caught funding the effort so that in itself removes any legitimacy from the cause. The average Igbo businessman is plying his trade in Northern Nigeria, Lagos and Port Harcourt, Biafra will be bad for business, hence the lack of widespread support. I currently live in Southern Nigeria and have plenty of receipts to back everything I'm saying

The most oil-rich parts of Rivers state is in Etche and Oyigbo territory and those people are proud Igbos. I've also heard that there are native Igbos in Benue state. Gowon and, later on, Obasanjo divided Igboland for a very good reason and what you've just written up here demonstrates said reason.

 

[Anwulika]

He doesn't know about Anioma (Delta- I am one) and Ikwerre (Rivers) Igbos but he speaks for the South-South?

Also Etche and Ndoni Igbos in Rivers State. I'm surprised that someone claiming to be from the South-South doesn't know that there are native Igbos there.

"Other groups?"really,nikka? Fyi,the real indigenes of Biafra,the Ibibio,have already stated categorically they want no part in your secession.

1). Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio considers it an affront, an act of extreme provocation (that word again!) and a stretch to the breaking point of the tolerance limits of the Ibibio people for some self-serving individuals in the cloak of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and indeed any bunch of avaricious persons howsoever called to wake up from an intoxication-induced sleep to hurriedly put out to the public a map of their dream Republic of Biafra.Their utopian republic implicitly conscripted, without any modicum of respect to consult, our own prided land of heritage of Akwa Ibom State as well as those of our blood brothers along the Atlantic Coast of Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta and and Rivers States.

Here he is calmly explaining how he murdered 2 people,totally unprovoked.


That's a disingineous argument. I'm a Kenyan and don't have all the details but the more I research the more the 1966 coup appears an Igbo project.

The last right guy,Ejoor,an Edo or Urhobo was a neutral insider and privy to all the shyt that went down. As such his info is gold!

The Igbos wanted to rule. Why they wanted to rule was that (Nnamdi) Azikiwe was the then Governor-General and more or less Head of State. The constitution did not give any power to Azikiwe. So, this annoyed the Igbo people and they used to say: “How can we run a constitution in which the Head of State cannot advise the government, the government cannot contact the Head of State for any advice?” So, the answer was well to take over since they were already leading and yet they had no control over the government. That was why the Igbo soldiers decided to organise a coup. But at that time, there were four major leading officers which included me, Yakubu Gowon, Bassey and Ojukwu. Igbo people relied on Ojukwu for the coup and they were able to convince the Yoruba. Ojukwu and Banjo now contacted me and Gowon for a coup. But we refused.

Also,the planning began wayyyyy before immediately after independence! Imo,the whole thing was a putative Igbo power grab which explains the drastic reaction of Naij.

Lol. It's obvious that you don't know much about Nigeria. Azikiwe, the Igbo President lost power in the coup. Ironsi didn't know about the coup until it happened because it was a plot hatched by younger officers

If the Igbo president lost power and the senior Igbo military officer didn't know what was going on, how was it an Igbo coup?

Stop trying to justify mass murder. You're making the Kikuyu look bad.
As usual.

Earlier in the thread, we brought forward evidence from the leaders of ethnic groups in the Niger Delta who declared support for Biafra.

It's obvious you hate the Igbo. Go away.

Please tell me why the Ibibio categorically stated your Biafraud is THEIR HOMELAND which has nothing to do with secession? You quoted my post on that critical matter but didn't respond.

Earlier in the thread, we provided evidence about other ethnic groups seeking to leave Nigeria and form Biafra. The quotation you provided was not from an Ibibio chief or leader so your initial comment is moot. Let there be a vote. Biafra is not by force, unlike Nigeria.

Also, you're a very poor at reason. So because Kenyatta stole the election it means that thousands of Kikuyu can now be slaughtered? That's the extension of your stupid genocidal logic.

Why are you even in this thread? Perhaps you're bored. Nonetheless I know that if anything happens to the Kikuyu I'll sit back, laugh and sip palm wine.
