I read an article recently on "Chief" Ralph Uwazuruike.He is such an interesting fellow. I actually got to admiring his single-mindedness and ambition, but then in the end realise that before us now stands the proverbial man of straw. He is not a child of revolution rather he is a child of reaction. He articulates no vision, professes no philosophy, offers no direction. He is a man who has somehow placed himself at the center of a vortex with no idea how to play the raging winds. Prophet or dreamer? The hallmark of a visionary is in making one believe in spite of oneself. Mr Uwazuruike does not come across as a visionary, rather he is cutting for himself, along with Frederick Fasehun and Ganiyu Adams, the figure of a 21st century robber-baron.Is this the person the Igbos look up to for deliverance? A poor man's Moses indeed. It is my feeling that once again, the Igbos are going to be undone by their arrogant penchant for isolationist Nationalism. They should see beyond this charlatan who rose out of nowhere to assail us with his arcane agenda, they can and should do better.

Bababoyz dreams do come through, of course you wouldn't understand that because your yoruba brain is clouded. So what are you hiding I read at your Nigeria world where you told your fellow Nigerians, That you would not like to disclose your real name to them on the Atlanta conference. Apparently your faith in your one Nigeria is not strong as you would like us to believe. What a hippocrist you are.

Umuibe Let you not be distracted by this bunch of rascals on this board. Their contributions is nothing but selfish. No single one of them have given any sensible reason, why they want their Nigeria to remain one. Rather they resort to abuse and name calling. This same people belong to the tribe in Nigeria that call others name, for instance you are all familiar with such names as KOBOKOBO, YAMIRI etc. My people dont be dismayed, nothing good will ever come them. You all know the severe consequence of calling people name in this great America. Nigeria is a failed nation and they know it. Mr, Uwazuruike is a fine gentleman, a lawyer, and a guy with vision hence the present movement.

Anything-wrong writing under a pen name? Have I ever question why you write under the pen name of Biafra? No. This dream aint coming true brother. Smell the Starbucks coffee, not Dunkin Donut coffee
Yes, I agree with you dreams do come true, but this dream of Biafra does not have the attributes of a dream that will come true. It is an ill-conceived dream, full of contradictions and ambiguity.
chima njoku,
Your display of ignorance is so ignominious. Did NGBATI NGBATI fall under a name-calling or you just choose to tell half-truth, half lie? Take out the wool in your eyes before trying to take out somebody else.
___________________ Bababoyz, EzeGburuGburu of BiafraNigeriaWorld
If you know the dream won't come true why don't you go and do more usefull things with your life rather than arguing with wishfull dreamers or you don't have a life ? It's like me wasting my time on a forum setup to discuss Nigeria's quest for super power status.

bababoyz I am not surprised, when ever you open your foul mouth, you will never change, your exposure to this civilized society has not helped either. Your back ground tells the story. The NGBATI you began to hear lately is a response of numerous name calling by your people. I can give you more names your tribe call others.

Worry about your own people first before you worry about Igbos and Biafrans. If Igbos and Biafran lands nowhere as you said if we beckon on you to come and rescue us don't show up. Igbos and your Yoruba doesn't have anything in common so why worry about people that doesn't have anything in common with you. There are so many problems with your yorubas and your one Nigeria that need your attention more than Biafrans landing nowhere.
There is nothing wrong with using pen name in posting or writing. However I am questioning your stand on the Atlanta dead horse. Your fellow Nigerians who use pen names and have decided to go to Atlanta, have started to give the organizers their real names. So my question to you is that why are you not giving your brothers your real name if you so much believe in one Nigeria. I use pen name "Biafra", However most true Biafrans on this forum who are on the need to know knows my real name. As strong as I believe in Biafra whenever we have our own Biafran conference I will give the organizers my real name. That is the difference between you and I. I strongly believe in Biafra, your believe in one Nigeria is shakey brother just admit it. That is why many on this forum have asked you to give us a reason why Nigeria should stay togather. To date I have not seen you come up with any viable reason.

Bababoyz said, "I am here because i don't want my people to end up in the middle of nowhere". ------------------------------------------------------------------- The last I checked, you are still a vile Yoruba. The last I checked, the Igbos are genetically, intellectually, resourcefully, educationally, technologically, and socially far too superior to the Yorubas. I also checked and confirmed that Biafra land and her children are exclusive of the Yorubas. Finally, Biafrans want nothing to do with the Yorubas, now or in the future.
Now, was your inferior brain at its peak when you made the above statement? In our hallowed ground of Biafra, we say, "man know thyself". Since YOU ARE NOT one of us, I'm sure you will never have an inkling about what this statement is all about. We like to keep the seperation of wheat and chaff perpetual.

You see my point now? How does Amanda even come close to proving the absurd propositions she makes in her posting. Just as someone once said that "drink is the curse of the working classes, I hold that thought is the curse of the dreaming classes". Uwazuruike is the harbinger of no unique philosophy. He is a grandstanding rabble-rouser who plays on the primordial emotions of men. It takes a thoughtless man to lead a thoughtless people to disaster. Biafra et al - The fault is not in the stars, so in converse redemption can not be there. You can only win people over to your side if the arguments are profound and the vision clear. Once again categorically, Uwazuruike does not have what it takes to articulate this vision or to sway the minds the minds of men. The recurrent failings of Massob since inception are there for every one to see. You can thrash me all you want but the truth is the truth is the truth.
P.S : To the ubiquitous wit who keeps asking why the Igbos are wanted in Nigeria. Is that not obvious. You count a people who are dynamic, resourceful, well-read, intelligent. Who wouldn't want you?

Risi Nantroof aka Mustapha Kount, It should be obvious to you that the Biafrans have no use for your off-handed cajolic reverie, neither have they any interest for your Randian crusade.
As educated and as objective as you wish to be perceived, you have woefully failed to comprehend that given the superior ingenuity of the Igbos, its a heinous crime to keep them down as a third class citizen in a cursed entity called Nigeria. Again, you have failed to reason that, given the level of educarion and enlightenment you have acquired from your exposure to the so called western civilization, that it is your duty as a Nigerian to implement the turn around of your country without asking the Biafrans to do it for you or to hang around with you to their continued detriment.
Only an envious dog in the manger enemy of the Igbos would want the Igbos to continue in a Nigeria that has stagnated their progress while driving them to extinction. If at all you care about the future of your generations unborn and that of Africa in general, you would campaign for the freedom of the Biafrans. There lies the redemptive future of Africa.

mustapha... i have already said that igbo people have a lot to gain and contribute from remaining in nigeria... what they should be doing is to push for a fairer society instead of wasting their time listening to ralph uwazuruike... if this man was in france or austria he would be like jean marie le pen or jorg haider... and i pity anyone who is foolish enough to believe his 'sweet dreams of a future biafra' which he is just using to further his own agenda... just like other dictators have done in the past...

What have I done to deserve being labelled as the unfortunate Mr Nantroof? I have no great interest in philosophy(as a study in itself) and although I have fleetingly read Rand, I will be taking liberties if I categorise myself as an Objectivist, though ther remains much in that philosophy to recommend. I am simply a common man, the everyman that you see in the street, in your place of work, on T.V and dare I say, in your dreams. This common man feels your pain but assures you that the ideal way to assuage this pain is to channel your best energies into propelling yourself(yourselves) from the 3rd class citizenship you infer to the first class or whatsoever class you may covet. The Nigerian state may have stagnated you just as it has done many others, Igbos and non-Igbos, but this is only because collectively you let it happen(wittingly or unwittingly). Now your selfish desire to flee the debacle you helped in creating has mutated into some sort of self-justifying moral imperative. Your illogicality is the reason you find yourself(yourselves) in the mess that you are in. Be a man, or woman, for once and face the truth. Frantz Fanon once stated that "Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover it's mission; fulfill it or betray it". Your mission should be regeneration of the state which you have so wantonly let down. If after this, you decide to go your separate ways, then what should I resent?, though it would be a much poorer Nigeria without her Amanda Weksons.

"Mustapha Kount." I have followed your tracks and found that to be distracting in the sense you patently decided to find faults and blame your own people for whatever that happened to them. You have acknowledged previously the irrelevance of a Biafran statehood, while at the same time agreed to work things out in order to effect change and which of course you doubt the possibilities of Biafra actualization.
Let me ask you this: What is your position toward Biafra Actualization, of which you have not made any reasonable contribution toward its growth based on the obvious injustices and stereotype, to which you are one of the ring leaders, openly denying that the Igbos were not wronged?
So far, you have not proferred any solution nor acknowledge that a people whose history has been of violence and political impotence have got a case to be addressed.
The answer to your question unfortunately is another question - WHO wronged the Igbos? Was this wronging a collective, systematic, unremitting wronging? If so, what sort of redress is both appropriate and practical? You and your fellow biafranites unfortunately have to find the answers to these. I am just an innocent bystander, I can't help you here.

I have no reason to "choke" on what your diatribes are; I have only tried to understand your ramblings which negates Igbo effectiveness in today's Nigeria, and by which as I emphasized earlier, you still have not proferred a way out to the injustices levelled against the Igbos since the post-Civil War era.
All you've done in your appearances commencing Biafranigeriaworld is attack and fault the commentaries related to Igbo causes. All in all, it means living in denial, and not knowing the fact that, based on ignorance and stereotyping, one particular thing is obvious, the apparent denial to speak out and stand for the truth.

Mr/Ms Koussi: You seem to be Zombie #1, since you have followed your master bababoyz. I have not seen any meaningful post that you made since you joined this forum. You are either following Mustapha or you are following bababoyz. Don't you have a mind of your own?

The Chosen People, Here's a beautiful and promising assurance from a devout Nwa Biafra on the Redemption of Biafrans, the chosen children of God. Just as Moses lifted the serpent from the wilderness, thus will the children of Biafrans be lifted by their redeemer-Creator, chineke.
---------------------------------------------
Biafra Actualization in peace is an option, a viable option, and a practical option. It is an option that remains open and can be engaged at any time.
Since you bring it up, the Biblical Moses in fact did not have time to prepare, nor were the Israelites prepared and armed before hand. Moses was not eloquent. From the accounts, he was chosen, who knows if it is because he was so outraged by an Egyptian killing a Hebrew without thought or remorse (remember how the Igbos are cyclically murdered by the Northerners today?), that he killed the Egyptian. The time or timing was chosen by God, so also the leader. At the time, it seemed so impossible that an unarmed horde of disorganized and hungry slaves could leave the clutch and rule of the mighty Pharoah and his mighty armies.
So in fact, without your realizing it, the Moses example that you bring up is a model that can apply to Biafra. God is not afraid of our fears. Who knows, Uwazurike could be the Biafran Moses.
The important thing is that we are here today, and our problems no matter when they started and how long they will last are problems of today and the now, and we must do our part now.
I've stated elsewhere that greatest thing about Ralph is that unique mix of HUMILITY & COURAGE....and I almost forgot, he has patience as well.
Biafra vive!
