Everyone will align with his father and other very necessary relations. The permutations on Nairaland ignores the reality on grounds. Every Group will deal with the absence of oil revenue first.

But yet, you don't want Regionalism, Nigeria cannot continue with the killings because someday, it will find the people who think they are "safe" today or when a new government comes from another region, all it needs do is what Jona has done: steal money, loot for his own side and people, make noise about protecting Nigerians in the South and loot more money! If there is too much noise, he will draft 50,000 soldiers who will be doing pretty much nothing! Now to breakup, it's hard for una: WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO LAZY AND TOO INCOMPETENT TO TAKE A SIMPLE DECISION TO SAVE YOUR LIFE AND GENERATIONS FROM WAR?
This guy you are a big fool raving around!
Tell me one move the Yorubas have made towards secession or even regionalism, even in the confab they only played lip service to regionalism, you fools never pushed for it!
One Yoruba fool said he wanted every region to control its resources EXCEPT oil, another Yoruba fool said he wanted regionalism with Lagos given a special status (i.e. Continue to be developed with resources from across Nigeria) is any of those two proposals true regionalism?
You îdiots keep screaming about how you called for regionalism without any support, but I keep looking for where and when you actually did that without seeing anything!
Typical Yorubas talking from both sides of their mouths! Begin to direct all your insults and frustration to your Yoruba brothers because they never, I repeat, they NEVER called for regionalism?

Again, this is not 1967!!

A word of wisdom for all you igbo mongers, when you think war, remember your jam packed close clustered cities and have a little thought of what the enemy will do!!

All the north needs for the east is a thousand long range missiles!!

More than the west or north, the east needs to be aligned!!

So only the North knows how to throw long-range missiles? Of what use are empty Northern villages if Igbos are able to target their urban centers?

If SW, MB and SS do not interfere, the core North alone cannot attempt an attack on the East. But again this war is not going to be fought in the East. The MB and North will be the theater.

It was agreed at the CONFAB

That SW can collapse all their states into a single region which was opposed by Lagos delegates

So stop blaming Igbos but your people who are confused concerning their need.
Don't mind the fool.

Access to weapons and tactics will determine a lot, not population. If Benue plays it's cards well and explores it border with cameroon, they will put up a good fight. The North will not push through the eastern route at the begining, there are too many obstacles there. They will rather come through kwara and kogi. Those two states are going to be the theater of blood.

You guys will be fighting not just Nigerian Fulanis but all desert tribes of Africa who seek new lands.

You guys will still come back to ask the Igbos and ND to help you guys repel this attack.

Procurement is the best viable option.

But the guy do not know what he's talking about though.
There will never be an invasion in the east because the east will also proceed further when MB falls.
No one would want his land to be the battlefield

Also, there is absolutely no long range missile that will be proficient to damage the whole east from kogi grin

Ok lets take Lagos for example... How will you distinguish between a Yoruba and a Hausa, an Igbo from a Yoruba or hausa ,or TIV or Ijaw beside the language.

So ethnic cleansing might lead to your ethnic group killing their own people e.g. Igbos killing Igbos or Yorubas killilng Yorubas because their is not one perfect physical distinguishable features among Nigerians.
guy r u now sayin d yorubas in lagos dont know d dia sef,dont let us pway for ethic riot,but if dia z a riot,yorubas n igbos in d north west n oda regions dey find diasef will b killed,yorubas,hausa n oda non igbo livin in d south east would b killed,dats d way it will b in every region,state n local govt

Pls go back and ask your fathers how were the Igbos able to defend themselves despite blockade

Son

Igbos built rockets that travelled 6miles ahead of the latest soviet rocket.

Technology is our gift that is why you can hear of Aba Nnewi Onitsha etc made are rarely hear of any non-Igbo made products.

Even Obasanjo acknowledged our armoured tanks called the red devil

Ogbemudia recognized our talents to the point of planning to continue our inventions using our best minds before being stopped by fed military authority.

Only those who never witness war imagine one. Nigeria will remain one irrespective of our differences. This thread undoubtedly is the handiwork of insecurity. If war is won base on permutation, biafra would have emerged. But in the advent of war, it can't swing either side not minding the side that initially appeared strong. For the record, the mb doesn't need an alliance to out run the islamists in the event of war.

The point is that their is no special/specific distinguishing physical features among different ethnic groups in the country... There is absolutely not one feature for example the Yorubas have that the Ijaw, the Efiks , the hausas does not..... so are you going to kill based on language.,., many non-hausas speak hausa same goes to other ethnic groups....

So who are we really going to ethnic cleanse.... l\

Are you sure he knows his geography

Most people just talk trash


When this war erupts Northern Christians and secular muslims, will definitely seek an alliance of the South for their security.

Tivs Igalas Jukuns Bachama are brave tribes but limited by their population

Whether they accept now or not

They will definitely seek the support of their Southern neighbours for arms and manpower.

The earlier some unknowledgeable Tivs guys start facing reality the more MB lives that will be saved.

You're missing a vital variable in 21st century warfare.
International support.

Trust me, this war is going to be awful if it ever happens. We're looking at religious conflicts here.
Massive weapon sales. Islamic extremists versus superpowers.
One side who likes to fight, and the other who wants to sell weapons.

The Arab and Muslim extremists should never be ruled out. Look at what is happening in Syria and other middle east countries. Rebels from far away countries just come and join the fight.

That is what is going to happen in Nigeria if care is not taken. The war needs to end as soon as it starts, else we risk unending rivalry between the super powers and the extremists, ALL IN OUR LAND.

The entry of islamic militants from the Arab world would be the game-changer. But I believe they can be stopped from massively entering the ''country'' by the international powers that be (you name them).

Israel won't stand idle in the war

They would supply the Igbo group with the best of military technology

This will help the Igbos to grow rapidly in weapon technology

Igbo manpower and Israeli techn will send the Arabs back home.

The middle belt groups would unite to ward off any jihad in their land.
They may lose ground initially but as they build alliances, they will recover.
Places like southern borno and southern kaduna would be sparsely inhabited.
Roving bands of men from both sides would decimate any opposing ethnicities they find there.

Igbos are not technologically backward as your people

What do you think a people who were the first black africans to refine crude oil when the europeans were saying it will take us 500 yrs to know it, would do if they find themselves in such similar position


I don't know your tribe but never compare their technological backwardness with Igbo love for invention and production.
