In one of his videos he said even if he’s to old to fight for Biafra it doesn’t mean someone else shouldn’t.

No, there's no regrets in Ojukwu's words. He said he proudly led the first one. Yes because it was just the same as we are in now. But he said we didn't learn from it so fighting a 2nd one is not necessary. Here he was refering to the Igbos who didn't persevere to stay and develop Igboland but succumbed to the pressure of the access denied Nigeria inflicted again to them after the war that didn't correct the reason for that war. What do I mean by access denied, no seaport, no International airport, all indeginous industries of the Igbos closed, no government presence in the East, in fact, evonomic strangulation is norm, quota system for weak brains and so many attrocities again the igbo . So every generation will fight their war, people cannot be slaves in their own land.
@@ng1471 I don't think his regrets comes from the lack of perseverance from the surviving Igbos as you said. Ojukwu never stated his exact regrets, if he gave specifics, I haven't come across any archive referencing them; which makes those regrets a mystery. Now, he said he proudly led the first war because of the marginalization of the Igbos which has continued till this day. If he were alive today, he will most probably also proudly lead a second. This brings me to my point, his regrets if I should guess would be mostly from the before and during effects of the war. The many innocent civilians victimized, of which he could have prevented but he let his rage against the Nigerian state get the best of him. Failing to make allies, going to war without a clear plan, recruiting child soldiers, to mention but a few... These are all regrets. But who's to speak for the dead. You feel me?! The statement he gave in the interview saying a second civil war would be a mistake was said at the heat of the moment. And that moment was filled with regrets. Every other person in his position would probably give that exact same statement.
Ojy i know you must have spent much time in searching for this video where CHUKWUEMEKA ODIMEGWU OJUKWU warns against second war.i will also want you guys to come back and discuss the cause of the war
We are dealing with educated illiterate seating around a desk and uneducated fulani illiterate ruling and causing terror. The time these ones realizes what is around the corner, it will be too late cos the media have literally destroyed the country with their false narratives and lies. They think they are destroying igbo people not knowing they are destroying their people.
He was giving his own opinion, if Ojukwe lived till now and witness what Illiterate fulani leaders are doing against Biafra, he would have changed his opinion.
He said a second war is not necessary, and that is why IPOB is calling for a peaceful desolation via a referendum. Which is a democratic process to resolve issues. Our eternal leader did not kick against referendum.
I'm so happy all of you are now listening to MAZI NNAMDI KANU preaching. He's thought us so much about this country and its stinking history. Give the accolade he deserves
Your inability to dominate others is now an enslavement... you dominate the civil service in the country, you dominate the commerce yet you are crying marginalization unfortunately you absolutely unable to humble yourself and understand that life is not about dominance of others, it's about cooperation
Is there a memory as bad as what is happening now in Nigeria? The fact that you didn't get something right in the past does not mean you should not try again. Whether it be peace or war, we want to go. We want our own nation.
The question is did the war really ended like they all claimed. Igbos have been constantly killed but they refused to report it cos it's the igbos the deserved it. Now they are talking because it is no longer only the igbos that have been pinpointed for extinction. The whole other indigenous tribes have been set up to be killed. Now the eagle has landed home, they are talking but talking while still gaslighting the igbos. When all the terrorists organization this presidency has brought in begin to show everyone their work, I hope you all will be here to report it. We are just going to sit back and watch this movie you all have been producing all these years.
The same Ojukwu said he was ready to lead his people to another war and has no regrets for declaring Biafra. He said it in the early 2000s when Obasanjo was president, many years after that video you showed us was made. I remember that DSS accused him of calling for war and invited him to Abuja for questioning, but he refused to go and the entire Igboland also said he would not go to Abuja to answer stupid DSS, and warned president Obasanjo to stay clear of Ojukwu. We should also discussed why Ojukwu made that comment after many years he granted the interview you're showing us, since we want to talk about what Ojukwu said and not said.
Dont mind these war instigators. They want war war war as an Avenue so that they will steal igbos properties again. Referendum is not War. Self determination is not a crime. This time the war will consume everyone. You think you are not in war, all these terrorists a activities in ur country in addition to the herdsmen, Nd you think the fulanis have not brought wars to you all. Continue to seat on the desk to talk nonsense while the render your villages desolate
Yes he said 2nd war is not necessary that we should have learned from the 1st one. This lessons should not be one sided, if those from the Biafra side is doing everything possible to put behind them whatever happened during the war will it not be wise that those from the Nigeria side accept them and treat them equally.
In Protecting the colonial creation Nigeria, we should all desist from blaming only the Biafrans side while it was Nigeria that started the war in the first place by invading Biafraland. War was forced on Biafrans and not the other way round. I believe if we can continue to make some people second class and third class citizens another war is necessary for full human divinity to be achieved. Nigeria is calling for war not Biafrans. Treat everyone as your would like to be treated.
So is this happening? And in what scales? The firearms today way worse than 50 years ago, and with high population density wouldn't the victim count be catastrophic? I'm not familiar with Nigerian culture, what caused all this tension?
United Federation of Tribes as a name would make sense but United African Republic is not bad. It has more sense than the name Nigeria, given to us by strangers.
Ojukwu words means a lot for Nigerians, for the fact that this apc leadership by buhari who fought the war, doesn't learn anything from it, rather he belief gun and bullets is way forward, is lastly letting them know 1967 isn't 1970, for the fact that fulanis will come and they gonna lose,
The guy with the armoured Tank has a satirical message. I know the exact location of that tank and was surprised to see how creative he was in using it to send a message of high concern to those in Authority
Inasmuch as I belief that Nigeria should work well together and build the nation without nepotism and greedy but if ain’t working then everyone should go there way .....Secessionist ain’t seeking for WAR but for what they perceive their own land as a country since where they currently are ain’t working for them and the joining in the first place wasn’t proper .......so equating secession with WAR is a bad analogy.
@@richmondchukwu746 don't mind the evil mind. He logged igbos with terror group while forgetting that same things igbos are asking, the yorubas are also asking and someone is saying one nigeria. So you can be in a country where two tribes keep gaslighting one tribe. I have said it, igbos are on this alone, dont mind the ones acting like they are fight for self determination too. They are not, they want how to rip off the igbos suffering for their tribe. We saw it happen in 1967. They have not changed at least the medias prove their hatred too.
Why are you learned people speaking of war, self-determination does need to lead to a war. Give the people referendum, let the people determine their own fate. Nigeria is too diverse for any one man to lead. Devolve administration if possible, else; complete separation!
"NYSC", Fulani Orligarchy always finding novel ways to mobilize Nigeria resources against Biafrans. Now NYSC is now reservist to be used against Nigerians. Too bad. This will all be over in the next two years.
Because they're evil they doesn't want a sincere Opinion from people Any TV stations that doesn't seek for different or an interactive section with the citizens of the country is working hand to hand with the bloody government of Nigeria to destroy the poor citizens of this most especially the Ndi Igbo
You know on this discussion so far the only reasonable person there is mr abati, people just think it's easy to get the history of the war off the heart of any igbo person, I grow up hearing about the war from my late dad. I went for school but I wasn't taught in school about the civil war, in everything that happens in life there are always advantages to it and disadvantage also and also I watched documentary of some successful igbo men whose businesses where successful in Lagos then but before the war they went back to their home town and after they return, they lost everything they have labored for and they where never compensated by they government, now imagine someone who lost is family and also lost is business and at the end of the war you said No victory No vanquished... for generations to date the igbos have been marginalized in this same country and yet you say we are one Nigeria. Now listen, Nigeria as a country don't only owe Biafra a freedom but also owe them a huge compensation for the lost of lives and properties and some day they are going to pay for it all.
Dont mind them. It is easier for them to say nonsense because not 5 million of them died and their properties stolen. The hypocrisy is appalling. If there will be war for igbos to be finally free then let there be an official war because we have been in war since 1967. The war never ended.
After the first war please no victor no vanquish right, reconstruction, rehabilitation and rehabilitation after the war was any of them meet to the people of the South East?was the igbos treated fairly in nigeria interms of appointments?so the igbos should seat back and watch without canvassing for their own country simply you guys played a tape where ojukwu said there will be no second war,why not play the whole video of ojukwu interview.
No body wants a war bt the situation in Nigeria ask for it.. How cn 1% hold on to what belongs to 99%..I rather die than to live in my own country like a slave
Some people are painting others/lgbos bad so that the north will see them as good for 2023.Make the country good for all and stop playing games. Stop talking against your conscience.
Tundun, perhaps you should have said, "A rose, by any other name, is just as thorny." Have a blessed weekend. And I hope your mood improves. Best regards, Ade Dosunmu, M.D. Psychiatrist, Georgia, USA.
The answer to Obasanjo's question is the North. The Fulani-led Nigeria is the problem! Secondly, we miss the greater import of Ojukwu's statement. What Ojukwu was reminding us was to be mindful and avoid repeating the same blunders that led to Nigeria/Biafra war. But if the same conditions persist, resorting to war will become inevitable. So, Ojukwu was not necessarily against the use of war to defend yourself if it is the last resort.
Changing Nigeria name has nothing to do with the country the problem is bad rulers it time for the citizens to change the leaders period it's only one group that's turning Nigeria from good to bad every day
How can someone who claims to be educated see delf determination as a call for war? I've come to realize that no matter who you are, educated or not, you will begin to sound foolish the moment you decide to champion one Nigeria in its current state. It's just like defending something that's completely indefensible. Nigeria was forcefully amalgamated in 1914 by a white man without the consent of the indigenous people and that alone is a faulty foundation. Over the years, millions of innocent Biafrans have been massacred with impunity to keep Nigeria one, and even as we speak now, your terrorist army is in Biafra land killing innocent youths and no media is talking about it. This is the same country that is championing unity. What an irony! The Nigerian problem is spiritual because millions of innocent Biafrans they massacred in order to keep it one are craving for justice and there will never be peace until they let us go. All of you should prepare for the worst because this is not the 1967 - 1970 civil war. This time around everyone will suffer, not only the Igbos.
Some of are Nigeria leaders don't even know what they are supposed to do.if you change the Nigeria does it change the wicked, selfish, greedy e.t.c.my dear country Nigeria must remain Nigeria.
Buhari is Reminding and threatening people with war.....but this time around his descendants will also tell the story......in many years to come if he doesn't know that people are still pained.
Dr. Abati should please try as much as possible to be brief with his submission. Why does he find it difficult to go straight to the point and save time?
Complete overhaul of the system, name change is crucial especially for people travelling or living outside the country, new constitution is vital, if possible separation
Changing the name of our country will not change anything. People will still see the regional & political imbalances that mean some Nigerians from some parts of the country are treated better than others
Thanks Dr. Abating for saying that "we should stop blaming the colonial masters". I have been arguing this for so long that I'm so tired of it.....most Nigerians are so annoying regarding this!
UAR is genial! Just like UAE Nigeria could be split in smaller autonomous units, call them countries if you like. This would let component regions in the Republic take their fates in their own hands but still fulfill their obligations to the Republic. This is the new beginning.
Calling for secession is not calling for civil war, those who wants to make a war out of it should be the ones to be rebuked, Nigeria is not one and trying to keep it one under the barbaric hegemony of the Fulani with the threat of war will not hold water.

Many Igbos also insult the Niger-Delta and wish the Niger/Delta evil for refusing to join Biafra, leave others in peace maybe then you will also be left in peace
@@willycollins7969 ignorance is a disease because all immigrants in America and UK has been asked to live to their country because they want their nation.this the myopic mind you all have that hinders the progress of Nigeria. Chase them away nah ....
I enjoyed this episode of what's trending. Well done guys
Referencing a dead man's regrets, who's obviously now oblivious of recent events. How sad. Naivety at its peak.
No, there's no regrets in Ojukwu's words. He said he proudly led the first one. Yes because it was just the same as we are in now. But he said we didn't learn from it so fighting a 2nd one is not necessary. Here he was refering to the Igbos who didn't persevere to stay and develop Igboland but succumbed to the pressure of the access denied Nigeria inflicted again to them after the war that didn't correct the reason for that war. What do I mean by access denied, no seaport, no International airport, all indeginous industries of the Igbos closed, no government presence in the East, in fact, evonomic strangulation is norm, quota system for weak brains and so many attrocities again the igbo . So every generation will fight their war, people cannot be slaves in their own land.
@@ng1471 I don't think his regrets comes from the lack of perseverance from the surviving Igbos as you said. Ojukwu never stated his exact regrets, if he gave specifics, I haven't come across any archive referencing them; which makes those regrets a mystery. Now, he said he proudly led the first war because of the marginalization of the Igbos which has continued till this day. If he were alive today, he will most probably also proudly lead a second. This brings me to my point, his regrets if I should guess would be mostly from the before and during effects of the war. The many innocent civilians victimized, of which he could have prevented but he let his rage against the Nigerian state get the best of him. Failing to make allies, going to war without a clear plan, recruiting child soldiers, to mention but a few... These are all regrets. But who's to speak for the dead. You feel me?! The statement he gave in the interview saying a second civil war would be a mistake was said at the heat of the moment. And that moment was filled with regrets. Every other person in his position would probably give that exact same statement.
Ojy i know you must have spent much time in searching for this video where CHUKWUEMEKA ODIMEGWU OJUKWU warns against second war.i will also want you guys to come back and discuss the cause of the war
The change of Name isn't the problem but changes of attitude is what we needs.
Dr Abati ! I want to comment you for your intellectual contributions on the National dialogue! You are a stateman!
Secession doesn't lead to civil war
Point of correction
The nation can be divided without war
We are dealing with educated illiterate seating around a desk and uneducated fulani illiterate ruling and causing terror. The time these ones realizes what is around the corner, it will be too late cos the media have literally destroyed the country with their false narratives and lies. They think they are destroying igbo people not knowing they are destroying their people.
He was giving his own opinion, if Ojukwe lived till now and witness what Illiterate fulani leaders are doing against Biafra, he would have changed his opinion.
He said a second war is not necessary, and that is why IPOB is calling for a peaceful desolation via a referendum. Which is a democratic process to resolve issues. Our eternal leader did not kick against referendum.
I'm so happy all of you are now listening to MAZI NNAMDI KANU preaching. He's thought us so much about this country and its stinking history. Give the accolade he deserves
United African republic, to enable you people to bring more malum cow 🐄
You're thinking the way I do
Changing the name is not what we want the country should be divided into three that will be the solution
Instead of us being slave it's better we fight even 5 times even isreal still fight today
On point
How exactly are you slaves? Aren't southeast governors, senators, reps etc indigenes of the southeast?
@@tlig
U understand bro
Your inability to dominate others is now an enslavement... you dominate the civil service in the country, you dominate the commerce yet you are crying marginalization unfortunately you absolutely unable to humble yourself and understand that life is not about dominance of others, it's about cooperation
@@fataiadegbenro984 thank you so much fatai, Haa this people are so self centerd, simple.
Is there a memory as bad as what is happening now in Nigeria? The fact that you didn't get something right in the past does not mean you should not try again. Whether it be peace or war, we want to go. We want our own nation.
The question is did the war really ended like they all claimed. Igbos have been constantly killed but they refused to report it cos it's the igbos the deserved it. Now they are talking because it is no longer only the igbos that have been pinpointed for extinction. The whole other indigenous tribes have been set up to be killed. Now the eagle has landed home, they are talking but talking while still gaslighting the igbos. When all the terrorists organization this presidency has brought in begin to show everyone their work, I hope you all will be here to report it. We are just going to sit back and watch this movie you all have been producing all these years.
The same Ojukwu said he was ready to lead his people to another war and has no regrets for declaring Biafra. He said it in the early 2000s when Obasanjo was president, many years after that video you showed us was made. I remember that DSS accused him of calling for war and invited him to Abuja for questioning, but he refused to go and the entire Igboland also said he would not go to Abuja to answer stupid DSS, and warned president Obasanjo to stay clear of Ojukwu. We should also discussed why Ojukwu made that comment after many years he granted the interview you're showing us, since we want to talk about what Ojukwu said and not said.
Dont mind these war instigators. They want war war war as an Avenue so that they will steal igbos properties again. Referendum is not War. Self determination is not a crime. This time the war will consume everyone. You think you are not in war, all these terrorists a activities in ur country in addition to the herdsmen, Nd you think the fulanis have not brought wars to you all. Continue to seat on the desk to talk nonsense while the render your villages desolate
This war will not only be in eastern region but every region will feel the impact and again
Yes he said 2nd war is not necessary that we should have learned from the 1st one. This lessons should not be one sided, if those from the Biafra side is doing everything possible to put behind them whatever happened during the war will it not be wise that those from the Nigeria side accept them and treat them equally.
''Alkebulan'' is the real name of our continent before it was named after Leo Africanus. So United Alkebulan Republic is good for us..
In Protecting the colonial creation Nigeria, we should all desist from blaming only the Biafrans side while it was Nigeria that started the war in the first place by invading Biafraland. War was forced on Biafrans and not the other way round. I believe if we can continue to make some people second class and third class citizens another war is necessary for full human divinity to be achieved. Nigeria is calling for war not Biafrans. Treat everyone as your would like to be treated.
The name Nigeria should be change to Zoological Fulani Republic
One of my greatest quotes is "HISTORY HAS TAUGHT MAN THAT MAN DOES NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY'
So is this happening?
And in what scales?
The firearms today way worse than 50 years ago, and with high population density wouldn't the victim count be catastrophic?
I'm not familiar with Nigerian culture, what caused all this tension?
For the first time, the Dr is speaking the raw truth
On NYSC, the DG was protecting his loot condict pipe.
Great team of journalists.
Well done guy's.
I will never accept the name Nigeria.
Mumu. Another brainwashed Nnamdi Kanu puppet!
Missed rufai though
God forbid for another war in Nigeria. The leadership has got a lot to do prevent what will trigger another unrest
United Federation of Tribes as a name would make sense but United African Republic is not bad. It has more sense than the name Nigeria, given to us by strangers.
Ojukwu words means a lot for Nigerians, for the fact that this apc leadership by buhari who fought the war, doesn't learn anything from it, rather he belief gun and bullets is way forward, is lastly letting them know 1967 isn't 1970, for the fact that fulanis will come and they gonna lose,
Did Ojukwu say that Nigeria must keep the south east maginalized ?
Where’s Rufai? I only watch this channel because of him. He shares a honest perspective on issues
I would have so loved to hear Rofai's opinion on the name change and the NYSC rankor. #BringBackRofai
Nobody is talking about war, we are talking about letting us Go in peace.
The guy with the armoured Tank has a satirical message. I know the exact location of that tank and was surprised to see how creative he was in using it to send a message of high concern to those in Authority
Don't change the name, change the character, change the Nigerian brain , change Nigerian heart. Period.
Inasmuch as I belief that Nigeria should work well together and build the nation without nepotism and greedy but if ain’t working then everyone should go there way .....Secessionist ain’t seeking for WAR but for what they perceive their own land as a country since where they currently are ain’t working for them and the joining in the first place wasn’t proper .......so equating secession with WAR is a bad analogy.
It’s imperative to change the name NIGERIA , and other changes should follow suite ! It’s long over due, let’s start some where
IF WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF NIGERIA, WE NEED TO STOP SPEAKING ENGLISH FIRST
The problem is that,Igbo should erase this ojukwu‘s idea of 1967 civil war
WITHOUT NATIONAL INTER TRIBAL UNITY AND TRUE LOVE FOR FELLOW NIGERIAN. THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY FORM OF DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA.
Change Nigerian name to United Africa so you can bring in your fulani brothers. Give us security and electricity first
This guy is Nigeria hero to fight Boko Haram,ipob and ESN 🤣🤣🤣
Did he forget to mention Sunday Igboho and those calling for Odua nation. He must be an ethnic bigot and should be taken out.
@@richmondchukwu746 don't mind the evil mind. He logged igbos with terror group while forgetting that same things igbos are asking, the yorubas are also asking and someone is saying one nigeria. So you can be in a country where two tribes keep gaslighting one tribe. I have said it, igbos are on this alone, dont mind the ones acting like they are fight for self determination too. They are not, they want how to rip off the igbos suffering for their tribe. We saw it happen in 1967. They have not changed at least the medias prove their hatred too.
THE GUY IS MY HERO. WE NEED TO JOIN HIM AT THIS MOMENT
Why are you learned people speaking of war, self-determination does need to lead to a war. Give the people referendum, let the people determine their own fate. Nigeria is too diverse for any one man to lead. Devolve administration if possible, else; complete separation!
"NYSC", Fulani Orligarchy always finding novel ways to mobilize Nigeria resources against Biafrans. Now NYSC is now reservist to be used against Nigerians. Too bad. This will all be over in the next two years.
Why is Arise TV no more coming live on UA-cam?
Because they're evil they doesn't want a sincere Opinion from people
Any TV stations that doesn't seek for different or an interactive section with the citizens of the country is working hand to hand with the bloody government of Nigeria to destroy the poor citizens of this most especially the Ndi Igbo
Why are you people not getting it: these people don't want war, all they want is freedom
Hypocrisy is too much in this country and it will lead us to no progress
You know on this discussion so far the only reasonable person there is mr abati, people just think it's easy to get the history of the war off the heart of any igbo person, I grow up hearing about the war from my late dad. I went for school but I wasn't taught in school about the civil war, in everything that happens in life there are always advantages to it and disadvantage also and also I watched documentary of some successful igbo men whose businesses where successful in Lagos then but before the war they went back to their home town and after they return, they lost everything they have labored for and they where never compensated by they government, now imagine someone who lost is family and also lost is business and at the end of the war you said No victory No vanquished... for generations to date the igbos have been marginalized in this same country and yet you say we are one Nigeria. Now listen, Nigeria as a country don't only owe Biafra a freedom but also owe them a huge compensation for the lost of lives and properties and some day they are going to pay for it all.
Dont mind them. It is easier for them to say nonsense because not 5 million of them died and their properties stolen. The hypocrisy is appalling. If there will be war for igbos to be finally free then let there be an official war because we have been in war since 1967. The war never ended.
@@emekauzegbu2922 simple as that, if their should be a war for we to be free let it be and let’s be free from them.
After the first war please no victor no vanquish right, reconstruction, rehabilitation and rehabilitation after the war was any of them meet to the people of the South East?was the igbos treated fairly in nigeria interms of appointments?so the igbos should seat back and watch without canvassing for their own country simply you guys played a tape where ojukwu said there will be no second war,why not play the whole video of ojukwu interview.
you guys should wake up these people don't have solution to nigeria problems, i support Yoruba Nation Now
Kai comot there!
We are asking for freedom and not for war. But the Nigerian government says that freedom means war.
Can you imagine United Africa republic is there anything like United. I don't even think they know what's United
No body wants a war bt the situation in Nigeria ask for it.. How cn 1% hold on to what belongs to 99%..I rather die than to live in my own country like a slave
Some people are painting others/lgbos bad so that the north will see them as good for 2023.Make the country good for all and stop playing games. Stop talking against your conscience.
Tundun, perhaps you should have said, "A rose, by any other name, is just as thorny."
Have a blessed weekend. And I hope your mood improves.

Calling for a name change at this point in Nigeria is shadow chasing. There are real issues that need urgent attention!
Devolution of power is the way to go
The answer to Obasanjo's question is the North. The Fulani-led Nigeria is the problem!
Secondly, we miss the greater import of Ojukwu's statement. What Ojukwu was reminding us was to be mindful and avoid repeating the same blunders that led to Nigeria/Biafra war. But if the same conditions persist, resorting to war will become inevitable. So, Ojukwu was not necessarily against the use of war to defend yourself if it is the last resort.
Quest for the restoration of sovereign independent republic of Biafra
Ojukwu, like Nnamdi Kanu and all Biafrans was against another civil war BUT was in support of the actualization of Biafra
This Ojukwu sounds quite educated and refined he does not use the gutter language that many of those yahoo boys are using online now
Change Nigeria 🇳🇬 name is not Change attitudes of the Leaders unless we change the Leaders
Changing Nigeria name has nothing to do with the country the problem is bad rulers it time for the citizens to change the leaders period it's only one group that's turning Nigeria from good to bad every day
We need peaceful Nigeria
The question is why are you guys focusing on biafra? Haven't you guys hard of oduduwa republic? And talk about it
Those ones are not a threat to FG. Before the army says kai ,you will see them running and never come out again. Abeg forget odua !
Talk of misplaced priorities. How is changing the name going to solve the many problems facing this country like insecurity and poverty.
How can someone who claims to be educated see delf determination as a call for war? I've come to realize that no matter who you are, educated or not, you will begin to sound foolish the moment you decide to champion one Nigeria in its current state. It's just like defending something that's completely indefensible. Nigeria was forcefully amalgamated in 1914 by a white man without the consent of the indigenous people and that alone is a faulty foundation. Over the years, millions of innocent Biafrans have been massacred with impunity to keep Nigeria one, and even as we speak now, your terrorist army is in Biafra land killing innocent youths and no media is talking about it. This is the same country that is championing unity. What an irony! The Nigerian problem is spiritual because millions of innocent Biafrans they massacred in order to keep it one are craving for justice and there will never be peace until they let us go. All of you should prepare for the worst because this is not the 1967 - 1970 civil war. This time around everyone will suffer, not only the Igbos.
Some of are Nigeria leaders don't even know what they are supposed to do.if you change the Nigeria does it change the wicked, selfish, greedy e.t.c.my dear country Nigeria must remain Nigeria.
Buhari is Reminding and threatening people with war.....but this time around his descendants will also tell the story......in many years to come if he doesn't know that people are still pained.
Changing the name without changing from old way of corruption and nepotism.
Dr. Abati should please try as much as possible to be brief with his submission. Why does he find it difficult to go straight to the point and save time?
Power should be evenly split between the three major tribes. Devolution of power is the answer to separatism
Complete overhaul of the system, name change is crucial especially for people travelling or living outside the country, new constitution is vital, if possible separation
Of course, Most wars are not necessary but self defence or defence of the life of those entrusted to our care is always necessary.
It's clear that this television station is against the progress of Ndi igbo
Iam an igbo man and my real name is BIAFRA IN AFRICA
Changing the name of our country will not change anything. People will still see the regional & political imbalances that mean some Nigerians from some parts of the country are treated better than others
What's the alternative to war to achieve self determination?
Thanks Dr. Abating for saying that "we should stop blaming the colonial masters". I have been arguing this for so long that I'm so tired of it.....most Nigerians are so annoying regarding this!
UAR is genial! Just like UAE Nigeria could be split in smaller autonomous units, call them countries if you like. This would let component regions in the Republic take their fates in their own hands but still fulfill their obligations to the Republic. This is the new beginning.
Its not the name change,but the constitution that bind the people together.
