Guys, how’re ya? It is with humility and deep sense of appreciation that I’m extending my heartfelt thanks to the Web Chief for using his expertise to register me despite some setbacks. Before I go on rambling about why I desperately wanted to be a part of this tread, let me first acknowledge the following warriors not in any particular order. Ok, ok in this order, lol.
Also Nwa Biafra, Nwa Ohafia and others I didn’t get to read their posts are hereby acknowledged on the efforts being put to keep the struggle alive by defending our identity. Let me extend my belated condolence to Mazi Ukaobasi for his loss, a painful experience we don’t hope to feel anytime soon however, your mother’s memory should be your guiding angel always. Your relatives and yours truly included are proud of you for according her a burial worthy of a woman that produced an intellectual icon (you). Ednut, your piece on the "Nigerian Senator" was a hit, ride on brother.
I have been on the sidelines for the past several weeks and have been itching to get on-board to defend the assault on our country, BIAFRA that is, by the Yorubas. Now to our ‘friends’ let me put you on notice on my writing style I have been known to go both ways (noxiously or respectfully) it all depends on my mood or how a Yoruba fella responds to a given situation. It smacks of hypocrisy when the Yorubas wish BIAFRA away while clamoring for Oduduwa Nation, as they know the Igbos have never tried to juxtapose their wishes on them or the northerners so why are they infatuated with us? BIAFRANS neither shivers at the drop of Oduduwa/Awolowo nor cower by the mention of Arewa we never arrogate our belief on you people, they should therefore take a cue and quit their panic state on the mention of BIAFRA or her icon, His Excellence General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who without equivocating is among the corrupt free individuals still found in that part of the world, a rare trait. Have these folks for crying out loud ever wondered what will become of Lagos should the BIAFRANS relocate to the east? No doubt it would be a deserted island lined with feces, as it remains part of their "ome n’ala" culture to blatantly desecrate public arenas by dropping wastes all over town without shame. Why are the overwhelming numbers of the Yorubas full of hate? Could it be that in their (Yorubas) attempt to continue to have a relationship with a master race… Igbos without really showing enough appreciation and understanding, they tend to needlessly screech out of control?
Ndigbo, the northerners are hardly our problem the aforementioned are, so be mindful of this when dealing with them as you stand to risk your life without this knowledge. During the 1998 campaign to sneak aremu obasanjo into the nucleus of governance his folks were vehemently against him because as they smartly figured that the dude is a crook and a danger to democracy and remains so to this day, the question that comes to mind is what changed for these guys to have suddenly forgotten the unwavering support BIAFRANS naively gave to Olu Falae their kin in 1998? How soon they forgot that it was the same Ojukwu that released their father Awolowo who was languishing in Calabar prison. How soon they forgot that it was, yes, Ojukwu who tenaciously refused to accept Lt. Col. Gowon’s accendancy to the military leadership over a Yoruba superior officer (Brigadier General Ogundipe). If you read your history guys you will discover this to not only be factually in order, you also will discover that it has always been the Yorubas that see the need to double cross or back stab the Igbos at every turn. Remember Awolowo’s Action Group carpet crossing in the old western region? You need not go too far to authenticate the veracity of these claims all you gotta do is check with your elders who are driven by truth if you could find one. Do these guys know what fairness is if they run into one?
Question:
Can any Igbo remember the last time a Yoruba invited you to a party or social function?
Can any BIAFRAN remember ever dancing to a tune by a south easterner in a Yoruba social environment?
For me, the answer is never! On the contrary BIAFRANS are always welcoming of other people just look around, look around. BIAFRANS with our open minds play music with intoxicating crescendo and rhythm at parties by different artists. Now tell me which group is detribalized?
I hold guys like Toks Ogunbiyi, a Yoruba in highest regards so if you are like him with affinity for the truth and fairness then you have nothing to be concerned, as you should know my post is directed at the twisted ones amongst you. This writer does not in any shape or form believe in going along to get along, evidently we can’t get along so the next alternative is the implementation of the Aburi accord, which mutated to Sovereign National Conference, Yoruba parlance. May I also at this time advice the fella who frequently scribbles bible verses to direct it at the proper forum for religious activities as he knows there are tons of verses in the bible that contradicts his bunkum. Not all that screeches father, father will see your God’s kingdom, does this ring a bell?
BIAFRA now, yesterday & always!

I guess you're my first client (lol). My beef with you guys I'm assuming you're a Yoruba going by your Ojukwu quote, is the inherent dislike for the Igbos by the Yorubas despite the quote that only indicted the negative perception. The Yorubas owe the Igbos big time guy.
Thanks for welcoming me to the community of folks searching for a way out of the dilemma... nigeria.

Welcome to this forum where smart people talk about Biafran issues of relevance and ignorant people talk about none issues.
As regards your challenge to the yorubas, I have to tell you that you are challenging the wrong people, yorubas are COWARDS if you did not already know that.
Please don't hold you breath waiting for them to take you up on your offer.
What makes you think you are any better than the Yorubas?
