The truth is that nigerias inability to develope is correlated with a grand plan against all igbos.actually most of nigerian onshore oil is produced in igboland.igbos have however been balkanized and put at loggerheads.oil was actually discovered in owerri before oloibiri,but swept under the carpet with false claims of not being in commercial quantity.i can assure everyone on this thread that very soon oil will be struck in owerri again.the largest oil producing local government in nigeria is ogba/egbema/ndoni in rivers state.though 99% igbo-speaking,it should be noted that part of it was ceded to rivers state as a result of oil in 1976 to reduce imo's income. 1 Like 1 Share |

Question: Why are other Nigerians always persecuting the Igbo? / / Answer: I have always tried to know myself. I am one of those who believe that the Igbo are among the most peaceful people on earth. But, because of the fact that they are very hardworking, ambitious, and not afraid to live anywhere, or take up any task, they tend to be resented by their less ambitious and successful neighbors or hosts. When you confront a non-Igbo to say what specific offense the Igbo have committed against them, oftentimes they draw blank, or engage in fabrications, which they insist must stand for a fact. The Igbo believe in live-and-let-live. It is virtually impossible for any Igbo to rise against their guests or hosts. It has never happened in Nigeria, or elsewhere. It is an abomination in Igboland for a host to cause his guest harm. Instead, a guest is considered metaphysically and physically under the protection of the host. All Igbo deities forbid doing harm to a guest. The Igbo are accused of "loving money." I suppose the charge is based on the fact that they work hard and acquire money in the bargain. One would like to believe that the outcome of hardwork is good harvest and hopefully prosperity. If anybody takes offense at the prosperity of a hardworking person, then the Igbo or for that matter any other person or persons, have no apologies to render. 15 Likes |

englishmart: I hate this thread. ^^^Keep on kidding ya self! The things done to us in this country ( part of which the OP enumerated above) can only come from a wicked heart consumed by hatred! I used to be as naive as you before.....and this is part of our problem: we tend to think others are bound by the same moral limitations and scruples like we are! The sooner we realise we're sharing the same country with people that hate us -never mind 'envy'- the sooner we can prepare or strengthen our defences to ward-off their stealthy onslaught! This wishy-washy attitude was our undoing in the 60s! 12 Likes |

Question: Why were we taught in school that Igbo people are easterners? / / Answer: It is both an unfortunate parroting by teachers and careless adoption by Igbo educated class. Igbo people come from Southern Nigeria and not Eastern Nigeria. It may be correct to say that the Igbo are found predominantly in eastern Nigeria. However, by saying that the Igbo are easterners, the implication is that the Igbo in western Nigeria, numbering about 2.5 million (Agbor, Ogwashi Ukwu, Ibuzo, Okpanam, Asaba, Orimili, Ndokwa, Anioma, etc) are not Igbos. The best known Igbo anthropologist Professor Mike Onwuejeogwu is from the western part of Nigeria, Chukwuma Nzeogwu, Dennis Osadebe, Okonkwo Adibe (the famous musician), Sony Odogwu, etc. are all from the western part of Nigeria. They are no less Igbo than those who live in the eastern part of Nigeria. The correct answer to your question is "the Igbo come from Southern Nigeria." 3 Likes |

Question: Is Southeast and Igboland the same thing? / / Answer: Not at all. Southeast is only about 3/5th of Igboland. Igboland covers the whole of Southeast, parts of Rivers, Delta, Benue, and Akwa Ibom states. |
| Re: Why The Hatred On Igbos? by zuchyblink(m): 6:20pm On Jul 24, 2014 |
Question: Is Igboland landlocked? / / Answer: Not at all. Igboland stretches from Igwe Ocha (Port Harcourt) to Agbor. The Atlantic ocean washes the shores of Igboland. Africa's second largest river - River Niger, traverses Igboland with one part of Igboland in the east and another part in the west of Nigeria. Uguta Lake has the potential of accommodating large ships and could be made a navigable port. If Igboland is landlocked, then all Nigeria is landlocked. 2 Likes |

Question: Why do some Ikwerre people say they are not Igbo? / / Answer: First, it is not up to them to say what they are and what they are not. When God created them, He did not ask them who they wanted to be. He just created them Igbo. The only way you'll know who belongs to what ethnic group in Nigeria is the name and what language the name comes from. Anybody whose name is Amadi or Onyeri, or Eke, or Odili, Wanodi (Nwanodi) does not need to tell you who he is. He is Igbo, his politics notwithstanding. 4 Likes |

Question: But they claim that their language is Ikwerre, not Igbo. Answer: That is politics. Ikwerre is a dialect of Igbo language. Just like an Ngwa man speaks Ngwa Igbo, Arochukwu speaks Arochukwu Igbo, etc. 2 Likes |

zuchyblink: and u think that the elections were free and fair?No election in this country has ever been completely free and fair my brother. The fact is, if we had massively voted for Ikemba, there's no way the PDP would have won in the south east! They might have won the governorships, but not the presidential. In public we all extol his virtues and sing praises of him, but when the time came to give flesh, bones and blood to our desires , we chickened the hell out!! We are our worst enemy! 1 Like |
