. You will hardly find a Mosque in Igbo land...what a show of intolerance, not that there are no Muslims but the community will not welcome them.

You've said so many strange things on this thread but let me just say a little something about this one. There are mosques in Igboland. There aren't a lot for the simple reason. that there are not that many Muslims there. Some state governments, like the Imo state government, have actually built mosques for the Muslims in their midst. Can you point to a single case where a government in the core north built churches for the Christian settlers there, or are the Igbo the only ones expected to bend over backwards to please settlers in their midst?

For real, the truth is always stranger than fiction. This is wake up call for the Igbos... You all shouldn't take my comments personal, instead pick the truth in it and see how you all can make a difference. You can't be shouting GEJ till 2019 and start printing Biafra Drivers licence, Money and Passport for a new state and think others will take you people serious.

Nigerians loves Igbo people but Igbos loved Biafra.

Meanwhile Government should not promote religion in a secular state...instead it should be shouldered by the people only. Those who don't have Muslims as brothers or friend may never know how to treat them right.

I'm not taking your comments personal. But I also noticed you didn't really address my question. It is okay though.

I have no problems with Igbos...infact I have a very close friend who also call my mum mother. He treats her like her real mother. I am merely saying the obvious. Igbos have caused a senseless civil war and they haven't learnt anything from it.

They are seriously in search of an identity. They want to be in two countries at once. Yet they want to be alone.... So confusing I must say. This has led them to mortgage their national rights in Nigeria as one of the three leading race in this country.

I know the strength of many Igbos and one of them is not assimilating other cultures or religion. When you start comparing that with the Yorubas who are champions of hospitality then you get this kind of embarrassment.
Did you say cannot assimilate other cultures? When all my friends in the West can only speak Yoruba language,they had to relocate to the East before they could pick up Igbo language and culture. Champions? Yorubas that will bow over to greet you and stab you seconds later?
'Searching for an identity'....this is crazy!!

let me educate small. People are talking about Biafra because they have taken the sectarian agenda a step further. Your folks now have a passport, driver licence, and claims the new Nation GEJ was talking about was Biafra. Can Igbos vote for GEJ and turn around to develop Biafra Republic? Why will people trust Igbos now?

Let me re-educate you. An average Igbo man thinks of how to put food on his table in such a chaotic country like Nigeria. Nobody really has the time to take about Biafra or Arewa as the case maybe. If for obvious reasons we can no longer live together,then Biafra is the solution.
How is Gej connected to Biafra? Gej that is fighting for his life in Aso rock. You have to filter the things you read online,pls.

I don't think any Igbo have spoken against them either... Let me shock you! On my way to Akwa Ibom recently... I saw several Biafra flags adorning homes in Imo and Abia States.... This speaks volume... Except you are the lone voice here. The Biafra stuff is everywhere in Igbo land....you can't deny these if you visit home always..... No ostrich here dear.

Biafra or no Biafra,i don't see how it's your business in the first place. Is it now a crime for Igbos to mention biafra? Igbos around me have better things to think of,biafra is the least priority right now.

I guess you want them to be arrested,molested and sent on exile,when Nigeria cannot subdue boko haram and Niger delta militants? I guess you are the only one who does not understand that Nigeria is on the verge of disintegration.

Obviously you don't visit home often. The Biafra flags adorn homes all over Abia and Imo state...the locals loved Biafra my brother...those folks are just minority like you... Nwazurike has serious followership in the east... Do you pretend not to know what you know?

How it doesn't embarrass people like you remains a mystery! Biafra is the worst dent derailing the prosperity of these great people! only many uninformed followers encourage them.

This doesn't make sense! I've had enough of the obsession. Why should i be embarrased? Lol. Pls look for better issues to talk about,something like how boko is destroying hausas and related groups.

Now you are speaking like the true Igbo....it's Jonathan that can't subdue Book Hiram and not Nigeria... Disintegration is treason... We want Igbos to believe in the project Nigeria... And not constantly distract themselves with Biafra... Nigeria is having issues that can be resolved... Biafra can never be a solution... It has never been. It remains in the past... If Igbos want to live in the past we have no choice but to oblige them....

Finally! I was expecting this outburst, Biafran comments were only a smoke screen for your deep-rooted prejudice for Igbos. What exactly is your problem? They are insignificant but you have been on their case snice morning. Lol, go and rest.

What progress are they making apart from actualising a dying dream of a Biafra state within Nigeria. Igbos are busy trying to scuttle the happiness of a great Nigeria with the support for an unpopular president... Thankfully they have no say in this one.
