Do you know my family or the kind of people I move with. Can you make a threat to Tinubu's children for instance? You get the idea. Some people are just that much more powerful than ordinary citizens.
Chill, there's no need for all that. This is just a forum.

That is not how the United States Congress Room look.I have seen a lot of speeches delivered there like Netanyahu's speech, State of union address and so on. Before you attack me, I am not against any Groups need to leave Nigeria. I understand their plight with all the oil spills and government lack of interest in the development of their region. I wish them luck.

If Nigeria breaks up. Dreams of Flora Shaw would never be realised..

Truth is, there is nothing like a Nigerian Dream..

The Dream Nigeria was never conceived by Nigerians, it was conceived by Flora Shaw. She saw that thing Hausa igbo and yoruba are refusing to see.

She tapped into that vision of strength from unions.

She envisaged that great Black Nation that is differences of Tribe, religion, culture, tradition, ethnicity were put aside, there would be a sort of synergy of force to make nigeria the greatest black Nation ever..

But for whia!

Greedy people! Only Hausa Igbo Yoruba agenda on their mind.

My brother I suggest you do your research before putting out stuffs in a public domain
GEJ did not divide Nigeria Gowan did..
Regions entered into an agreement to become a nation..against what was agreed he went ahead to creat states..that alone has done Nigeria more harm than good..
The issue of tribe and religious sentiments have been there right from the start even before GEJ was born..let me correct something about cross culture/ethnic marriage when the country is divided thats if it is divided people will still have their marriages in place..love knows no boundaries

Abeg make dem go form their own govt and make GEJ(their hero) the president, I am sure he will be able to transform that region and make it the envy of all.

Odua should come together too, we have enough to be whatever we want to be, either good or bad.

I believe the Hausa too can survive on their own, there is no force in friendship abeg.

A typical Igbo man always want Biafra so let them have it,its their right.

[b][quote author=Hakagure post=33995885]Our twin bogeymen of Tribalism and corruption rear heads again, Hydras that multiply and become more and more. Some proposals more "chop I chop" rather than clear direction, confusion from nation states that never existed previously trying to create themselves in a new image.

How can tribes that operated on the clan level want to break up to the Tribal level? The only united entity immediately before British Colonialism was the Caliphate which had very little of the middle belt and basically co opted the Hausa City states which before them had Kano as the most important, What we know now as the South East was a loose confederacy at best, the Delta was even more piecemeal, Yoruba land was in the depths of a desperate civil war over autonomy, slavery and trade, Lagos was sacked by the British backed by the Egbas.

Yet now we speak of breaking Nigeria up. Aude Sapere, break it up till when? Who will lead the Igbo? Will an Ekiti man follow an Egba man? WIll an Ibadan man live in peace with an Ijebu man? Who will preside over an Ijaw council? A nomadic tribe that never had a major city? Will Kanem Borno who till this day do not have an Emir in Maiduguri follow the Sultanate? and spit on their freedom and history, Or will Kano decide they want a "fresh start" outside the influence of the current Sultan. Where does Nassarawa, Taraba, Gombe go? Nupe and Borgu form a bendel kingdom and will Bini rule over Ishan again?

Best thing for us is a federal system, non centralized with a figurehead president. Let every LGA (not state) every LGA should administer itself, and let the states provide some Guidance, states should not be split by Tribe (just encourages the the worse of the bogeymen, at least corruption never led to genocide)

Think for yourself and do not fall for what the narrative says.[/b]



I don't believe in your rhetorics. I think you culled that from somewhere and that line of thought is the worst of what Nigeria can descend to.Its so myopic that you are referring to over 140million people as yet developed to be able to build nations within the framework of their intelligentia, Please desit from such barbaric act.
The Yoruba was at a phase of their history when Europeans came and almost every great nation has passed through civil war or conflict before and it was a war of superiority. The Kanem Borno do not relate with the Caliphate because its islamic history predate that of the Caliphate, its about superiority. Kanem Borno, Benin and Yoruba empires existed for over 500years each and so you cannot accuse such people as lacking in historical substance in nation building.

I think ,until the 21st century, the Igbo are people that evolved relatively as one due to European ethnic classification and the deep divisions within their rank is probably linked to the fact that there was not a unifying kingdom/empire that united the people in the last 500 years.But, if the people say they want to be a nation, who can stop a 30million strong people when they are resolute, Nothing.

I am an advocate of a regional government, may be this agitation will help Nigeria evolve into such an egalitarian society.However, I will point out that the path of peace is the best and its a long one that will take a resolutely determined Igbo people to achieve it which will include forming political parties that will be nationalistic and stop seeking for relevance within the Nigeria political sphere. It will also mean that referendum may be the option which mean that the possibility of achieving united front and borders with 'fringe' Igbo states in Delta and Rivers is slim as those people can focus on their own separate dreams.

The last point here is that the Igbo may be interested in knowing how much market they can lose in case it happens eventually. With the way their positions are being touted retaining many of their young traders in other countries will be so slim and so they must make the return of over 15million souls back home within a short period and say bye bye to a market of over 120million buyers.
Imagine U.S saying yes to this request and supporting it at the UN, its a way also for the Yoruba, the Ijaw, and various Niger Delta groups to evolve in their small countries or merge, may be Biafra may become an all Igbo exclusive nation.

I wish you the best

From this video, you will see none of his points are strong enough to demand a breakaway from the country. The first step I would've expected was a reform of the constitution, so that things like fiscal federalism can be implemented.

FYI, I am a neutral in this whole saga. As long as the south can break free from the leeches in the north, then I could careless which ever way it pans out.
First, you can not claim to be neutral, as you were interested enough to say something. That invalidates your claim to neutrality. Secondly, the south breaking free of the leeches from the north is only wishful thinking for obvious reasons.
