I have said it and will keep saying it... We can't achieve BIAFRA like this.. .... Let's play the game of Nigeria and win them at it

First form a political party with the aim of actualizing BIAFRA... And this should be started (BIAFRA people's party) over the next 8 years capture all the south eastern states and implement the reforms we promise in BIAFRA as little as we can

Make PRODA a core science research institution which will be funded by the five south earthen states

Make move into the south south... With the food governance and lack of corruption the BIAFRA part will offer.. . We will will all south south states and Benue....

THEN we can go to the UN and demand a referendum and it will be granted

If Nigeria refuse... war starts and the world will support us

20 years plan to achieve BIAFRA

Even if most Nigerians consider split, going with SE is not an option.

All of that is nonsense. Referendum is a right not a privilege. I remember that Buhari said something similar in his Aljazeera interview where he refused to watch the video recording of the Nigerian Army shooting unarmed people in Aba. Buhari said it because he knows going down that route is waste of time. The way to go about it is to keep the pressure up so that the Government can either agree to a UN superviced referendum or a Sovereign National Conference where everyone can come and decide if the want in or out. Looking for a political solution in a country like Nigeria that is far from being politically developed is a waste of time.

olaitoro:


the SE doesn't need a lily-livered person in their future country.

The excess human and capital resource in SE is enough to make it an envy of all other nation.

So my dear your opnion does not matter because you are insignificant in the scheme of things.

u do know "HUMAN" resources is a euphemism for cheap labour right?

At the end of the war, the government of Gowon exchanged the deposits of Igbos in the banks prior to the war for not more than twenty pounds per depositor. Also in pursuance of the administration’s reconstruction agenda, Gowon did his work in Lagos despite the fact that the war was fought in the Eastern region.

Another area to look at is the creation of states – from the four regions of Eastern, Mid-Western, Northern, Southern in 1963, to 12 states 1967 by General Yakubu Gowon; to 19 states in 1976 by General Murtala Muhammed; to 21 states in 1987 and 30 states in 1991, by General Ibrahim Babangida, and to 36 states in 1996 by Gen Sani Abacha? In the current composition, the North has 19 states representing 52.7 per cent; the then Eastern has nine or 25 per cent, the then Southern has six or 16.6 per cent and the then Mid-Western has two or 5.5 per cent. Senatorial constituencies, which are allotted three to each state, further shows the skewed power structure in favour of the Northern region.

Like the allocation of resources in Nigeria, the allocation of opportunities is also along this flawed structure. Most people from the then Biafra lost years of schooling as a result of the war that was fought on its territory but the Nigerian government did nothing to cushion the effect of this loss. It instead promulgated the federal character policy that supposedly intended to give equal opportunities to the states arbitrarily created by the northerners as against the constitutionally created regions.

Prior to these appointments, Buhari had hinted on his anti-Southeast stance as he promised to favour only the regions that massively voted for him, using the commonwealth, hugely generated from the Southeast. And to further justify the Buhari’s stance, John Odigie-Oyegun, the national chairman of the APC condemned the Southeast region for voting the candidate of their choice, saying that they committed a political blunder “putting all their eggs in one basket”. The Southeast still await Buhari and Oyegun to explain if Buhari is the president of only those regions who voted for him.

In the meantime, the exploited people ask to be allowed to go to where they will be better treated. They organised themselves and conducted themselves in a manner that should be commended, doing their [b]peaceful protests [/b]and the government of the day labels them miscreants, secessionists, and now, terrorists and keeps threatening them. It hounds them into prisons in the most unconstitutional way, denying them bail, even in disobedience of a court ruling.
Historically, Biafra has simply been a response of the oppressed, not an agitation for preferential treatment. It is a call to Nigeria to redress the injustices against a people or let them go. Biafra is an acknowledgement of oppression and a pointer to a haven for the oppressed, irrespective of where they come from. The reason Biafra keeps recurring in the Southeast is due to the fact that this same people have been the victims of deprivation throughout the history of independent Nigeria. The level of socio-economic development you could see in the region today was as a result of the individual and collective industry of the Igbo people; no serious contribution from the federal government.

The best the Buhari government could do is to be courageous and seek ways of redressing the injustice against the people of the Southeast instead of the cowardly denial of the issue and hoping the problem will go away with threats upon threats. The least it could do if it does not want to redress this injustice, on the other hand, is to conduct a referendum to know the popular stance of the people and act accordingly. A stitch in time saves nine. The Biafra agitation has been nothing but commendable – no violence, no molestation, no disruption of the public peace – just peaceful protests. It contradicts the fixation that every Biafra is a call for war.

This kind of open lie is the reason you guys are not making progress.
Firstly ekweremadu is the #5 citizen of Nigeria against all odds.
Secondly, the southeastern part of Nigeria is not the goose that lays the golden egg.
Thirdly, even though the east commited political blunder, which is true, the president has embarked on doing the unthinkable for them but for their short sightedness. Second Niger bridge, coastal rail and aba/ikot ekpene/itu/odukpani road budget distortions comes to mind.

Now these are just surface facts to counter the OPs lies about this administration. If we go deeper more lies will be unearthed.

The world is a global village and there are globally acceptable ways of doing things. Whoever said all will be well at a go. The same gowon you blamed for most of the woes, according to you, the igbos a passing thru, is the same man the #1 igbo political figure in Nigeria made the chairman of his book launch. Guess what the title of the book is?...........

The ipob and Masson ships are rudderless. Till the day credible leaders surface, so long biafra.

Last bullet. Call me Yoruba or Hausa fulani na u sabi. The truth is the truth. Proudly Nigerian.
