it goes to Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo State

Shubbylee:


When Zik and Tafawa Balewa were ruling Nigeria the North and East were not Monopolising power abi? when shagari and Alex Ekwueme were ruling Nigeria No wahala then, the West and Others didn't complain. Now Buhari/Osinbajo are likely to win elections and u're complaining abt political slavery.

I respect Igbo pple and my best friends are Igbo but u pple lack patience and reasoning when it comes to making political decisions that's why u're always on the wrong side of Government!! u always look at what u'll benefit today and forget the long term that's why Igbos may not rule Nigeria again for 50years to come. The SS have been sidelined from power YES but OBJ orchestrated the Entry of GEJ into Aso rock but he has messed up, should we now continue to live in Bondage and Mediocrity because of threats of Nigeria Splitting? should we refuse to take Honey out of the Honeycomb because a bee might sting us? NO!!

Worst case scenario, if the SE and SS Break away from Nigeria to form a State its back to Square one for the South South because the Igbos would be the Majority and Ijaws, Itsekiris, Urhobos, Efiks, Ibibios, etc would be minorities and would become 'Political Slaves' to the Igbos. Do u think the SS would want that? NO!!

If Igbos Split on their own and form Biafra or whatever, do u think the igbos in the North and West would leave their properties and investments to go and form one country that is not certain on how it would run? my Igbo brothers that like money more than anything. Besides Biafra is going to be Landlocked and there would be Barriers to trade and commerce in Biafra. Biafra would be a begging and dependent nation because there are no seaports to ship things from. your suffering shall know no bounds.

if the SouthSouth Split on their own and form a state, it would be a Battle Royale for Supremacy (Like Game of thrones) between Itsekiri, ijaw, Urhobo, Efik, Ibibio, etc Survival of the fittest!! they would be very rich off petroleum resources but they would be Neo-colonised by World Powers. Militants would rule them with an Iron fist!! the dictatorships that would rule them would be worse than Hitler and Saddam Hussein put together.

Let's Not let sentiments, Selfish interests and Momentary political dissatisfaction make us take decisions we'll later regret!! Nigeria is Stronger and more respected as One.

LONG LIVE NIGERIA!!

Everything you wrote in the above write-up is complete nonsense. You are busy coming up with reasons why the SS and SE people should not pull out of Nigeria not knowing you merely showing your fear of letting these people go. You said the people of the south-South would become minorities and that the Igbos would dominate them should we pull out. This is just fear mongering that Yorubas and Hausas have been peddling to the south-South people to keep them in Nigeria. The SS is already a collection of minority tribes being dominated by Hausas,Yorubas and Igbos. So what you are telling the south-South people is that it is better to be dominated by 3 groups rather than one? How laughable lol. As for this insinuation that Igbos will lose their investments and properties if they pull out of Nigeria,not possible. Under international law,anyone can own property anywhere in the world. No government seizes another persons property just because they are not citizens. Yorubas have this long held mentality that should Igbos pull out of Nigeria,they will all leave their properties and return to East. It doesn't work like that because Nigeria and all its constituent parts are members of ECOWAS. Any citizen of an ECOWAS member nation can travel anywhere he likes within the ECOWAS subregion. Even someone from Ghana does not need a Visa to travel and live in Nigeria. An Igbo man will be free to travel,live and run his business anywhere in Nigeria even after he gets Biafra. The only way to stop an Igbo man traveling anywhere he likes if for Nigeria to pull out of ECOWAS and all its trade treaties as well as the AU and this would catastrophic for the Nigerian economy to lose all its trading partners because it wants to "drive away" Igbos. As for the sea-port you talk about,this is myopic. Their are many alternatives to the Igbos such as building Inland ports along the river Niger,signing treaties with the South-South to import or run our own ports through them. Sea port is not what's makes a nation great. Botswana is one of the richest countries in Africa but is landlocked. Austria and Switzerland are each richer than Nigeria that has seaport but are still landlocked nations. The people of the North and west add no value to lives of SS/SE people. So after they have shouted 'Sai Buhari' all they like,if Jonathan is not returned as president,the Igbos and the SS will show you people we don't need you by pulling out of Nigeria. Then the Yorubas and Hausas can go and make their messiah Buhari president of Odua/Arewa Republic . Jonathan or no Nigeria!
