This dude is a moronic dingbat. When did being a landlocked or not landlocked determine the birth of a nation. In fact, Biafra can be either air-locked or sea-locked it will be better than colonial contraption and dead-end known as Nigeria. What a rubbish.
Northern Nigeria is LANDLOCKED

“Importantly, as I mentioned earlier, we are not certain that the South-South will go with the Biafra idea. And in the event that they do not, what are our options for economic survival?

Flowing from this, what guarantee do we have for international support if the main oil bearing region pulls out, knowing that no nation is a Santa Claus?"

At times I wonder why people speak with authority over issues and things they know nothing about.

A referendum demands simple majority, a 58% vote is a go in this case even if 42% votes other wise.

Majority of people in the south east want to go that is the reality.


Even South South go follow waka sef.

“I for one know that if you allow all the Igbos in this country to go into a free and fair referendum, they won’t vote that Biafra should leave Nigeria."


The above is the greatest lie I have heard so far.

Anyway, a lie from a Kokokori over Biafra is inconsequential.

"Besides, the Abacha ..... asserted that Biafra was a mirage because the South East zone is landlocked.".............. Frank Kokori


Biafra landlocked? According to Abacha. And Kokori agrees. It is as god as saying that Warri is landlocked.


Frankl Kokoriooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Bring the Referendum immediately. More than 95% of Bifrans shall vote Yes to Biafra. Nigeria is a failed experiment.


The Kokrois of the SS must not continue to use the Igbo as buffer to stay afloat in one Nigeria. Take awy the Igbo from Nigeria, the kokoris and their SS land become easy preys to Afonja and Arewa, and the Kokoris can even be doomed forever.

Warri has sea and may be seaport...What has the people done with the ports...How would the face of Warri hasd been without the Igbos who have good hearts for the coummnities they live in...What is the crime is asking for justice and equity in ones country?

Igbos should move home. There are lands to develop...Loads of office spaces are in hot demand...Government should encourage high rise of up 30 floors... to save land for agriculture and industries....the flats should be sold to ready buyers...etc, etc

To God be the Glory!!!
Exactly what I was thinking. Ebonyi lies fallow untouched, and so other enclaves in the South East. Vast land waiting for take over. Igbos should return home biko. Whether Nigeria breaks up or not, time to reinvest in your fatherland.

Confused lots!

They must vote for it as Nigerians re already anxious about there exit!

Biafra they must get!

Enough of chest-beating and they must return to there land locked erosion ridden region littered with glorified towns called cities.

They must exit Nigeria cos either way, the hate seed there mentor-Kanu has planted will eternally continue to bear fruits
Dude, if Onitsha, Owerri and Enugu could rise from the rubbles of the war and today, they are at worst at par with Kano, Kaduna, Abeokuta, Ibadan et'al that didn't see any war (and the attendant destruction). Bro, this is not chest-beating, does this fact not point to any truth within you?

Chiwude:
This is what many non-Igboid nigerians don't understand. Kokori an Urhoboman cannot tell us where our territory ends. He can only point with verifiable facts the boundaries of Urhoboland but not Igboland. It's left for Igbo group in both the SE/SS/NC to tell the limit of their boundary.
If a referendum is conducted in Nigeria today and everyone goes their seperate ways, can he (Kokori) bet his ten cents that Igbo groups in the S/S won't join Biafra? How certain is he that Igboland is truly landlocked? Maybe he is hinging his hope on the belief that Igboid groups will remain with Nigeria in an aftermath of Biafra's rstoration. Well lets just wait till that day and see what happens. But for now let no non-Igbo open their mouth to restrict Igboland to just one region.
This is exactly what the Nigerian government worked to achieve; limit them to an enclosed environment and forever shut them up. They have succeeded in driving a wedge between Igbos in the S'and E'. This is one area Biafran agitators have failed to work hard on, uniting all Igboid ethnic group and giving them one voice. And this is one of my major beef with IPOB. If only they limited their agitation and campaign to Igboid areas.....

As much as I am not a proponent of Biafra, Ekweremadu is a lazy fool if that is his reason for not supporting the Biafran cause. I can only imagine what Nigeria will be when the oil finally dries up since we don't understand the concept of human resources.

An average Igbo man has nothing to do with an oil wealth. To be self industrious is a gift to make something out of nothing.
I bet you, it will surprise you to see how great the said Biafra will become if separated from Nigeria.

It takes a nation that speaks one language to be great. Let the igbos go and you will see how great a nation it becomes

Just a quick surf on the internet, and the result became obvious. One very important thing that people don't understand (wittingly or unwittingly) is that even the Eastern region of the pre-war era didn't capture the whole essence of the Igbo homeland. The sizeable chunk of the igbos in Delta, Edo, Kogi and Benue were obviously left out. Any reasonable man would know that the River Niger divides Igboland into two unequal halves, with the greater half being the lands to the east of the Niger using Asaba as a reference point. No insults please, just do the check and be enlightened.

[b][/b]n an atmosphere of a free and fair referendum on Biafra Republic, many Igbos will vote against seceding from Nigeria, Chief Frank Kokori has opined.

Kokori, who’s the former Secretary General of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Tribune Online in Warri, Delta State.

The septuagenarian said most of the Biafra agitators hardly knew what they actually wanted for their people.

Besides, the Abacha nightmare in the days of the struggle for the actualisation of June 12, 1993 presidential election, asserted that Biafra was a mirage because the South East zone is landlocked.

He noted that being the most successful commercial people, the Igbos will lose more if they broke away from the country, adding that they own the choicest properties in major cities in the country.

Kokori debunked the allegation that only Igbos were being marginalised, saying every tribe and zone in the country experiences marginalisation one way or another, especially in the area of hunger and poverty.


According to the fiery activist, who spent four years in prison over agitation for June 12, the most marginalised people are actually the northerners because of squalor and mortgaged future by their elites.

This, he argued, is evident in the high rate of beggars among the northerners as against barely any among Igbos and a few amongst Yorubas across the country.

“The Biafra agitation is being handled by people who do not even know what they want.

“I for one know that if you allow all the Igbos in this country to go into a free and fair referendum, they won’t vote that Biafra should leave Nigeria.

“Igbos will lose more. Their land is a landlocked zone of the country, but they are the most successful commercial people across the country.

“Go to Abuja, Lagos, Kano, PortHarcourt, everywhere, they own most of the choice properties.

“Even here in Warri, they own properties. What can they do in their landlocked zone?

“You see, it’s just that the young people there don’t know. You see, everybody felt marginalised not only the Igbos.

“Because if you don’t have a good job, you don’t have food to eat, you don’t have medical facilities, you’re purely marginalised.

“Who are the most marginalised people, they are the northerners! They are so poor and a few of their elites loot everything from them.

“The average Igbo man and Yoruba man lives better than the average northern Nigerian. Check it. You don’t see an Igbo man begging on the streets.

“Yorubas are very few begging on the streets. Every other person, except the rich, in the north begs.

“What we need do is to build a good country of justice and equity.


“We can’t keep talking of breaking up. Why did America fight their civil war? They won’t allow one state to break away.

“California and Texas are 10 times bigger and richer than Nigeria. They won’t allow them to break away.

“They give them some freedom and the wealth is being properly distributed,” Kokori noted.

He accused the elites in the South South, where he hails from, four impoverishing their people in spite of stupendous derivation funds given to the region.

“Look at the 13 per cent they give our people in the South South, do they manage it well? They steal almost 80 per cent of the money. They don’t do anything with it.

They deliberately leave the people in abject poverty, but the elite have fat bank accounts in Europe and elsewhere.

That’s why I said some of us are disillusioned and depressed with what’s happening in the country.

But we still have hope. We know what we’ve passed through in the past,” he disclosed.
