We have all witnessed the turbulent political events of the last few weeks and the worrying consequences these events pose to Ndigbo and their neighbors. While many in BNW foresaw the current situation at hand others have only subsequently come around to that realization. For the first time radicals and conservatives appear to have agreed on something, the need to remain relevant in the current dispensation. Following four years of complete neglect and dehumanization of the peoples of what is knwon as eastern BiafraNigeria by Obusonjo and his paid agents acting under the dictates of his northern overlords, we are now facing the possibility of another four years of this continued neglect if no immediate actions are taken to remedy the situation. The situation before us is as follows
- Have the same people who have caused us so much pain and agony while depleting our resources for the last four years shoved down our throats once more with even more severe consequences to the future and stability of our homeland. How can anyone forget the “go to hell “ or “be grateful to be allowed to breathe the air in BiafraNigeria” and all the silly bile that emanated from the opportunistic and clueless dictator.
- The other alternative being presented to us by the overlords is a subservient role to a declared religious bigot and unrepentant dictator who previously setup a government without a single Igbo in his cabinet. We all know that the leopard will never change its spot and that the goal of Islamization does not fit our own agenda. We therefore have no inheritance in this setup regardless of what Chuba thinks.
While our goal remains an independent and free Biafra, I believe the solution to the problems facing us in the interim remains to rally around an individual with the strength and character to stand up to the oppressors and their paid agents on behalf of our people. It is clear that if our people vote neither Obusonjo nor Sheik Buhari non of them will win the election outright. Today as opposed to 1999 there is an alternative party with a strong local agenda that could pursue grass root issues more effectively without going to bow before a tin god at Abuja Mbadinuju style. It is imperative we use this tool to effect change at the local level while standing behind a leader whose sworn commitment to our people is unshakeable.Thus I see the solution in the interim as follows
- That we support Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu to effect the needed change in the BiafraNigerian political scene and avoid selling ourselves short to any group that would subsequently take us for granted a few weeks after voted into power.
- Support APGA to effect change at the local level by putting into position the best qualified people available. The last time this was done with NPP we saw how what Mbakwe did with Imo. We cannot continue to tolerate a situation where a clueless man like Udenwa is installed by an even more clueless and corrupt fellow like Ogbeh. It is imperative we help effect change at the local level.
We now come to the role of those of us in Diaspora. We may not be able to vote but we can help effect change by providing the necessary resources required to bring about change. BNW has gracefully agreed to conduct a fundraising for the campaign of chief Ojukwu and we invite you all to donate generously to this campaign. It is now time to translate all that rhetoric into action and here is a golden opportunity to be part of meaningfull change. A thread has been opened in the call to action section of the forum and those who wish to participate in the fundraising are welcome to make their donations and pledges.
Please note that there is no intention to discuss the modalities of the exercise here on the great forum rather all such issues will only be discussed in the call to action section. The call to action section is a private forum and you will need to be granted access. This is necessary to make sure only those truly interested in giving participate in the discussions. Make your request for access via PM to me or any of the organizers. If you prefer to give anonymously send me or Nwa Biafra a PM so we can work out the modalities. Thanks for all your efforts and together we shall make things happen.

The ball is now in your court. Your support is needed and would very much be apprciated.
We all know that we Ndi Igbo need to secure our regional base, value and power against the hausas and yorubas. We further know that the Igbo interest will be best served under APGA/Ojukwu's leadership and mandate from Ndi Igbo. So lets see to it that this is accomplished by a strong support from BNW.
You need not be Igbo to support this noble project, you can make your donation anonymously.
My brother lets keep all the action at the call to action forum. So far we have taken off to a very good start and I thank all those who have been very quick to respond.

Bababoyz There is no need to be scarstic and picking up a fight where non exist. As you are well aware this forum cater to both Igbos and Non Igbos, and I doubt if a son of a money bag like you will support any cause that is not a Yoruba cause. So what is wrong with us trying to filter the weath from the shaft. I bet if you were raising funds for Baba Iyabo you wouldn't want me Biafra the access to the sight.
Chiboy and Nwabiafra Good job guys, and like I said earlier we have to make this an ongoing thing even after the election we can use this to sustain other Igbo issue. I will lend my support and pledge at the call to action forum.
Brother Rudek BNW fund raising is different from the one you spoke, I have too much respect for brother Chiboy. If he is involved in this you can bank on it that it will be successful and credible. This not time for us to be looking for excuses this the time to be coming together as a people. Ojukwu and APGA have presented us an opportunity we never had since Mbakwe and NPP. where we go from here is up us.
Isn't it nice to have an archive that you can refer to, even one with a nice bottle of Champaigne? Now, you see the difference between BNW and egbeomooduduwa.com. You are allowed to have a contrary opinion here. That little man at egbeomo.com sold the old messageboard and pocketed the money, and you were too stupid to see his game. "Hardware failure" my .... What the egebeomo.com webmaster did is really the old trick of embezzle and burn the evidence, perfected at places like NITEL, etc. Five years from today, when he needs some cash, he will suddenly have a "software failure."
People like CSE just wondered out loud, and fiam, they were banned. I guess you, babyboy, are used to living in a criminal police environment. Your embezzling old man made sure of that, and that is why you are not perturbed about the ugly turn of events over there.
The organizers of the Ikemba fundraiser know that they have cretin like you around at BNW. That's why they are having the discussions in the protected Call to Action section, away from lower creatures like you. I wonder what you must have felt when you clicked on that link and found out that a second generation criminal like you is not allowed access.
I know that it pains you to see Igbo people getting together to take action. Well, I have news for you. Prepare to suffer! The more a Yoruba fool like you warns people, the more money will be sent to the Ikemba fundraiser. You are shocked through your pants that Nd'Igbo have finally started to mobilize against you and your inferior "yellow belly" race (apologies to Waypoint).
All:
My advice is that the Administrator should ban any Igbo person who causes trouble in this thread. People like bababoyz should be left alone because their words have no effect. Look how much pains that Mr. One-liner went to in his feeble attempt to cause disruption. That should tell you that he and his people are in panic. When your enemy is in panic, you are doing the right thing.
As for you, Mr. rudek30may:
So you know how to make a post in an existing thread. Why don't you stop opening new threads for every one of your white-stuff-induced ideas?

dave the dim wit what more can we expect from you .it is unfortunate that you are trapped in past and your great ibo ideas have still left us in the position we are in today why dont you swim your way out of the gutter and admit that we have failed in the quest to make the life of the commonman in any of our states better. the white man has made his life more bearable they have light water and some personal security. we have no light no water we sleep in prisons every night any success you have you have to hide so the armed robbers dont take it away. you have all these grand ideas in your mind what have you done your people nothing. it is very easy to find igbo people like you no original ideas little knowlege but you have a degree you do not know how to use.I find people like you ignorant and backward. i can bet you have a house a big house in your village with a jeep in the garage to show your village people how successfull you are how petty you are a house you spend maybe 1 month in 2 years would it not have been better you helped people start a small scale business but your ego wont let you. get alife leave me out of you petty thoughts

This is a personal appeal. This thread was not made for name calling or personal attacks. It was created for the Fund Raising in support of Ojukwu/APGA.
Please take such attacks to another Thread and leave this one for important discussion about Fund Raising.
Having said that, when should I expect your donation? I hope very soon. Every little amount counts you know. Thanks
I thank those of you who have made the effort to contact Nwa Biafra or me and urge those of you still in the procastination stage to grab the bull by the horn.
There is nothing too small at this stage and we must match our words with action. Be assured that every cent received will only be used for the intended purpose. You will not loose your anonymity by being granted accesss to the call to action section. I expect to hear from the rest of you soon. udo diri unu.

I hope the concept of a political party that exists, win or lose central power, has materialised in the shape of Ojukwu's APGA. The early signs are good. Ojukwu's campaign has been about burning issues including true federalism and promises of tackling corruption. Nigeria is a big mess. So, I will have difficulty believing anything can help her dramatically. And, would like to see the APGA concentrating on how good governance can be kick started at the local levels - win or lose the election. Those who can afford to help should in turn realise local politics is not particularly rewarding in Nigeria. And any support to APGA-like parties should be on-going - win or lose the election.

APGA with Ojukwu on the tow can not win more then 100 votes in Nnewi. The APGA is none starter in many states within Igboland. A friend of mine who was sponsored to via for a senatorial seat in Abia state by my organization had just written us stating that APGA does not exit in that state. However, he informed us that he had locked up nomination under the platform of NDP.

Were you really expecting an NDP candidate to tell you APGA was the mass party? Whatever their relative strengths, the crucial factor will be their ability to carry on after the elections.
My brother you a falling victim to nigerian press who are bent on not givig publicity to Ojukwu and APGA.
Regardless of what you might have been told by your friend/brother, APGA is taking off strongly both in Imo and Abia. Look at the number of people decamping from other parties to APGA.
You know that talk is cheap. Please bring yourself to support the only Igbo party. We need the help of people like you. So when can I expect your donation?
ALL,
Please send a PM to either Chiboy or Nwabiafra for authorization into A Call To Action Room. Everyone needs to get involved because Ndi Igbo needs you, Ojukwu needs you and APGA needs you.
I was going to send a nasty response. But I read the funny thread by TB and started laughing instead. I hereby nominate you for an award for making two posts in one thread. That is a record for you. Posts: 365 | Registered: Mar 2001

If you have sent a PM to me or Nwa Biafra, you will not need a password to enter the call to action section. All those who PM CHIBOY or NWA BIAFRA will be automatically granted access by the webmaster. Please give a few hours to have this rectified. You should be able to access that section just by clicking on it.
Please note that you will loose your access if you go in there and fail to participate. All the information you require on how to participate is available once you get in. If you do not wish to go there you can still send us a PM and we will let you know how you can donate.
Egede 1 Try reading what CSE has written, it's about making sacrifces to build your own not jumping unto ready made solutions like you seem to want. Those Hausa people who built NDP started it from the scratch. Any reasonable person will conclude that their interest will be well protected there, how about yours ? I am begining to think you belong to the old "Igbo know it all" brigade, you will be used and dumped as usual in your NDP. In any case this thread is for those who want to donate to Ojukwu and APGA, if we cannot count on you please don't attempt to distract people.

I am not been victimized by Nigeria press but trying to state the obvious. Chief Chekwas Okorie came to the Wash. D.C area few months ago and presented the manifesto of APGA to the crowd of Ndigbo. Due to the current political plight of Ndigbo in Nigeria, Nzuko Ndigbo, an Igbo think tank group in Wash. D.C, mandated the political aspirants in the organization to via under the umbrella of APGA. The organization arranged fund- raising party for the senatorial candidate from Abia State under the auspices APGA. However, the candidate sent e-mail to us that APGA is a none-starter in Igboland and he had switched to NDP. I have sensed that emotions are getting the better part of us as evidenced by the posts on this site. The selection of Ojukwu as the consensus presidential candidate of the APGA party has thrown the party into a political chaos. I am for a party that would fundamentally protect and pursue the political well being of Ndigbo. However, it looks that Ndigbo are jumping into the political bandwagon occupied by sheer emotions.

For the last time take this discussin to another thread. This thread is for fund raising issues. Please don't force me to request the Webmaster to keep your away from this thread.
However, let me respond to you for the last time on this issue maybe you will finally get it.
CSE said to Egede1 quote: .................................................. Were you really expecting an NDP candidate to tell you APGA was the mass party? ..................................................
So Egede1 has it occured to you that your senatorial candidate just could not cut it with APGA? Could it be that the place has been taken by another that is why he switched to NDP.
I do have a few friends that went for governorship, Senatorial and House position for one party and when they could not secure the nomination in that party they switched. At least my friends told me the truth unlike yours who is giving you a bunch of BS that you cannot verify sitting here in USA. Tell him to be a man and tell you the truth.
Lastly, I talk to people on the ground in Biafranigeria who tells me that APGA is growing rapidly with lots of decapees from other parties. This is verified by the that just visited Biafranigeria for Xmas. Now who do you believe a sore loser or people that are disinterested observers? I will give you the answer since it my be too difficult for you to figure out. DISINTERESTED OBSERVERS!!
I thank you for your private message. I have decided to give a public response because I do not wish to leave any room for my words to be twisted in secret.
Unfortunately, I have decided to take a wait-and-see attitude about this fundraiser until Ojukwu himself and/or his close aides come to BNW to ask for our support. You see, I live in the US. Before I give money to a candidate for any office, that candidate must ask for it and persuade me that s/he is better than the other candidates running for the same office.
It seems that BNW has become a fundraising platform for all sorts of Igbo/Biafra projects. People come here, raise money, collect it, and run. There is nothing wrong with that, except that some of those persons are the most irresponsible and ungrateful people I have ever witnessed. Anyone looking for my support will have to ask for it. At a time when OPC and Arewa murderers are menacing our people through out the country, there are still some Igbo people who want to hear nothing about Biafra.
Let Ojukwu or his people use one of the many forums at BNW to appeal for support. Only then will I give a penny of my money to his campaign.
There are many Igbo people and groups who use BNW to raise funds. Yet, when it suits them, they pretend that they never heard of this place. Some time ago, after BF collected funds raised at BNW, one of the buffoons in BF sent us a sarcastic "thank you note."
Amanda Wekson used this forum to raise funds for whatever it was she was doing for "MASSOB." Then, she turned and bit the fingers that fed her, and she was consumed by the fire she set for others.
There is no question that Ojukwu is the best of all the Igbo candidates running for president. However, he still has to come to BNW to ask for support. Otherwise, I will not get involved. This should not mean that others could not go on with the fundraiser.

Let me first say thank you for responding to my private invitation to join Ojukwu/APGA fund raising. Let me further say that I'm honored by your response since this is my first contact with you in this forum.
Now to the issue at hand, you said quote ..................................................
Unfortunately, I have decided to take a wait-and-see attitude about this fundraiser until Ojukwu himself and/or his close aides come to BNW to ask for our support. ..................................................
To the above quote I say that you have made your position clear for all to see. This is the essence of this Thread. This thread calls on people to post their comments and suggestions. You have made yours.
My question to you is in what form do you want Ojukwu/APGA to come in here and ask for our help. Do you want Ojukwu/APGA to register in here, get a handle and then request for our help? Please let me know what form you want such a request to take. I would be glad to forward your suggestion to the appropriate people in Ojukwu/APGA camp.
You also mentioned the fact that you live in USA as such cannot give your money without a request from the affected candidates. I too live in USA and very politically active in USA politics. The last time I checked candidates can personally raise fund, so can the candidates agents. I have on a number of occassions made phone calls to raise fund for candidates without them personally making such a request. We in BNW for this particular project are acting as the agent of Ojukwu/APGA. That is as good as it gets aside from Ojukwu/APGA registering in here and making the appeal.
Adaeze my sister, you are entitled to wait and see. However, I hope that you will join us and participate sooner than later as time is of the essence.
You correctly stated that Ojukwu is the best man for the job. Lets do whatever we can to help "the best candidate" be successful. I look forward to your support. I know that support is coming because you are a true daughter of BIAFRA.

Unless the web master is your paid agent, i think you are day dreaming of possesing a power you do not have.

bababoyz, Although you would not be given access to A Call To Action room, your donation is still acceptable as we do not discriminate in this project. So when can I expect your donation?

It does not matter too much in what manner APGA/Ojukwu elect to communicate the agency of those who represent them. But, the communication ought to be made and it should be clear when made.
P/S:
It does not have to be made in public. I know that there are some rather "interesting" people among us.
