Thanks for the link nothing new though and that is one reason you should travel to Waypoint 1, that being Biafra and give them your support. We need all the help we could get. We believe in democracy and the total package. I may not live to see the actualization of the rising Sun but it will happen. Echi dime.
Hail Biafra

I do agree with you Gideon Akaluka's death should serve as a wake up call to the socalled moderate Igbos, that it doesn't matter whether you are moderate or conservative Igbo. Once a call for Igbo elimination goes out, they will not differentiate whether you are moderate or conservative.

Only those who wish to commit mass-suicide would still believe that Nigeria should be preserved. The sooner we divide the mess, the better.

Since the minorities don't seem too eager to break away, perhaps we should wait until the oil is finished. Then we can find out for sure who really wants to stay in Nigeria.

Adekunle: Is oil why Nigeria is still sticking together? If that's the case, why are the riverine areas, knowing very well that the oil, as it is, is why Nigeria is still holding on; then why ain't they declaring their own republic since their agitation for self-reliance is being ignored?

SHELL Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) is considering a shut down of oil production in the entire land section of its Eastern operations area.
This is one of the options the company is reviewing following what it called a string of recent vandalisation of, and fire incidents at, its facilities in the Ogoni area of Rivers State from where it withdrew in 1993.
A shut down will have adverse effects on the country's oil production.
Three separate incidents have been reported during the past week, setting a trend that Shell said is suggestive of sabotage.
According to a press statement issued by SPDC at the weekend, in some of the affected areas, sections of pipelines have been illegally dug up, some of the exposed pipes stolen and others set ablaze.
In the latest outbreak in this emerging pattern of incidents, a fire was reported last Thursday along an active 24-inch pipeline near Korokoro in the Tai local government area of Rivers State.
The press statement stated that after an overflight to assess the situation, options under consideration by the company include a shut down of oil production in the entire land section of the Eastern operation area.
Last Monday, a similar fire was reported along an SPDC right of way at Gio/Kpoghor between Ebubu and Bomu Manifolds in the same Tai area.
A third fire reported at Bomu Manifold was extinguished.
According to Shell, although the Gio/Kpoghor fire has been put out by the Rivers State Fire Service, a repair team deployed to the leak site was on Thursday attacked and their vehicles seized by some unidentified youths until the intervention of the Rivers State government.
No life was lost in that attack. SPDC's statement signed by External Relations Manager, Precious Omuku, noted that the leak remains contained pending repair work.
However, the rate of flow is said to have diminished. The authorities are said to have been informed of the incidents.
As at Friday when another over-fly was done to examine the situation, the fire was reported to have continued burning. It was said to be spreading laterally.

I think that the ladies need to stay in Nigeria and take care of their respective families. On the issue of One Nigeria, I have not made up my mind yet. I however think that the Ibos could do better on their own as a seperate entity.

Ibibomn, Thanks for confessing that Nd'Igbo can do better on their own. That is what every Igbo person should know and believe. All we need is a code of conduct towards one another which will be underlined with being our brother's keeper especially since it will boil down to be that we would be surrounded by those who for long have been unjustifiably less empathetic with our plight in Nigeria.

IbIbomn: Thanks for acknowledging and believing in the fact that Ndigbo can survive on their own without a soiled state called "Nigeria." But since you haven't made up your mind regarding a one Nigeria, I am not going to disturb you with my array of questions. When you make up your mind, let me know.

Adeolajide Thank you for knowing that the country should not be one. So many things have happened in that country and it will be better for us to split. Even if the East leaves the rest of the country, the North and West will not be together in peace. The North will want to islamize the West and that would cause problems. It is better that we stop deceiving ourselves. Nigeria is not united and will never be. Look at the things that has happened. 3 million eastern Nigerians were cruelly starved and killed during the war. In 1966, 80,000 Easterners were slaughtered. 100 Yorubas were massacred in Kano. Shagamu and Lagos riots.Ijaw/Yoruba riot. Kaduna sharia riot. Reprisal killings of Hausas in the East. Killing of Igbos in the North. Ogoni masscre and Odi massacres. How can there be unity while these are happening?

Bature: It is obviously becoming a problem for you to comprehend the situation at hand--actualization of a Biafran Republic--which would send you and your Northern "almarijis" and "talakawas," Packing. Don't you get the picture?

Bature, You know very well the teachings you received. You wre taught that Igbos are a threat to your existence, kill Igbos in your midst, destroy their goods and properties, kidnap and rape their girls and females, never allow them free reign to prosper in Nigeria, and the list goes on.
Now, are you honestly saying that you love and wish success and prosperity for the Igbos? Are you also saying that youneed Igbos in Nigeria to rule you and show you the way to prosperity and the practise of "live and let live"?
The brainwashings of islamic sharia has no tolerance for "live and let live" philosophy of the Igbos and Biafrans, in general. Therefore, any time you mouth the rhetoric of one Nigeria and the living together happily of the Biafrans with your islamic jihardist group, you display blatant hypocrisy. Quit your pretense. You only want your cointinuous milking of Biafra's oil.
