Ironsi wasn't the one who dissolved the regions and their autonomy, he merely united the federal civil service. It was Gowon and Awo that dissolved the regions and created dysfunctional entities called states.

It wasn't the Igbo man that cancelled the 50-50 sharing formula between the owners of resources and the FG, It wasn't the Igboman that created the Land use decree that stole the resource rich lands of ND and made it bonanza party for all Nigerian groups, especially the Arewa-Odua.

But I have never seen you utter any anti Yoruba or Northern words on this forum, you remain innately Igbophobic, your veneer is wearing thin bro.

Are you sure you are not from the lands west of Ikalands, you now sound exactly like them, your veneer is wearing off fast and furious, better answer your father's name now. An anti GEJ SS commoner? It must be freezing in hell.*grins*

Pazienza, simply because the Yorubas and Hausas do not claim the Ikwerre is one of them..


Well, if Igbos can claim Lagos, situated hundreds of kilometers away, they can claim anything.

Before the 1967 coup, Nigeria ran a system where each region were in control of its resources to a reasonable extent.The Igbo young gunz killed the parliamentary system and Ironsi, yet anoda Igbo, created this unified Federal system.

Now, the system which the Igbos unwittingly foisted on Nigeria is what, after 30yrs, has taken us to the roundtable to discuss, with no clear headway.

You see exactly what that rash action has brought to the people of old eastern region...That is why u shouldn't be too fast.
The igbos should atleast try to remedy the situation and not to chicken out of the federation because they is being bullied by their mates.m

Looool@zoological country..well, ex-presido Jonathan was a zoologisf and his government was an Igbo government.

Utter bunkum! You lots have formed the harbit of brazenly re-wrting history by constantly repeating atrocious lies, fooling a lot in the process.. It is treu, Ironsi muted the idea of a unification decree just as it is a FAT lie to suggest that whatever nonsense in place today is a continuation of that decree. This is akin to saying that because Awolowo was convicted of coup plotting, every other subsequent coup in Nigeria originated from Awolowo. . The major reason adduced by those who killed Ironsi was their strong opposition to the idea. Ironsi was killed while travelling across the country trying to promote this idea. Essentially his murder was to prevent the practicalization of the unification decree(note that NO structural changes ooccured under ironsi).. So how can you kill this man for an idea that has not been put in place,, kill another 3 million for calling for confederacy, then 40 years after, turn around to blame the same bloke you violently eliminated for suggesting this idea as the source of your structural blunders, .., after killing him and running down the country ever since! Are you that pathetic??

The average Ikwerre man goes hot when you call him Igbo, but he doesn't go out on his own to vomit Igbophobic comments, he is just not comfortable with the Igbo tag, but he isn't really Igbophobic.
As long as you are not trying to tag him Igbo, he is cool with you, he doesn't go out of his way to start attacking Ndiigbo.

Op lets be honest to ourselfs, the eastern minorities still have igbophobia as strong as the yorubas. They wont admit it because they need us to stand with them at this time. Biafra,if it will ever succeed will have to let the minorities to be in power. Yes I know that this goes against the principles of democracy but they are easily deceived. They have to be in power to assure them that its not an igbo nation or dominance. If not then biafra should be an igbo only nation.

Very intelligent post. I have thought along this line too. Remember the fulani allowing a minority Gowon to lead? That got the whole north both christians and muslims to allign and fight together.. personally I believe Biafra should be a country of the willing within the former eastern Nigeria. If the minorities must join, they should play important and visible roles at the top right from the get go. . Positions of power and authority. Not symbolic roles.. Eyo Itas squabbles with Zik did a lot violence to the unity and political growth of the former eastern Nigeria.

I don't support a Biafra with even a single non-Igbo ethnic group. It's not fair to them and it won't be fair to us. Actually, it will just be a smaller version of Nigeria but the recriminations will be more bitter.

Going to the Gowon story, what happened, afterwards? Since, the mid-eighties, it has been one crises after the other between the majority Hausa/Fulani and the smaller groups. They have possibly lost more people in these crises than we lost in the pre-civil war progroms (especially when you add the BH carnage). Orkar's coup should clue you to the truth.


I don't think these multi-ethnic states can work equitably. One ethnic group has to dominate the state. If you check every successful nation state, one ethnic group has been dominant. The Han in China, the English in the UK, the Russians in the Soviet Union and the WASPs in the USA. Since, I wouldn't want to be dominated and have my culture become extinct, I wouldn't wish that on another group.

Every group should be independent. You have countries in Europe like Liechtenstein with a population of 50,000 (that's probably less than the population of my hometown,Nkwerre). Yet, they are thriving and even wealthy to boot.

Would America envy Lesotho or would a slavemaster envy his slave?Being slaves to the Yorubas,Hausas and Ijaws had really dealt a lethal blow on the little slave self esteem that remains that you have virtually turned to shreiking cry babies...looking for a way to be free from your masters just like a typical slave...

I wonder the kind of psychological impact the civil war had on Igbos to the extent of creating an anti-progressive stance and self destructive tendency. In the long run Jonathan will realise that it was his romance with Igbos that blinded him from reality of Nigeria at his time and this will also make his kins hate Igbos the more. I am Igbo from Imo State and it seems we do not share much of the self destructive trait with some others. I guess we suffered the most casualty in the Biafran war which has been regretable. We have moved on and believe in trying to make Nigeria work.

Jonathan knew everything to do but chose not to do them because he was blinded by money and hence forgot where he came from. Buhari will do everything Jonathan failed to do like

1) completing the East-West road and Elele-Owerri road

2) 2nd Niger bridge

Most importantly he will create a system that works and will never condole corruption at high levels.

I will love an Igbo country but I do not believe it will work right now as there exists no love among Igbos. Let us try Buhari 1st and see if he can put us on the right track.

God bless Aligbo

Your logic is flawed because we are talking about becoming champions of things in this world, while you are talking about we continuing the mediocre life and vision that Nigeria foists on us! We are world beaters in MANY fields, but the world does not know it because Nigeria cannot produce and distribute common electricity.
Have you ever seen where a sprinter won a 100M dash with 50Kg weights tied to both legs?
Ndigbo are simply tired of running with dead weights tied to our legs.
We want a nation that gives us back what we put in; a nation founded on justice.
I pay alcohol tax, but more federal infrastructure spring up in states that prohibit alcohol by Sharia law, while my state languishes in federal neglect.

The hate against the igbo in this country is suffocating! We can't prosper with our worst enemies who comitted genocide against us running the affairs of Nigeria while promoting all kinds of vicious policies that are perfected to derail the growth of the igbo.

What I mean is the process of rejecting that distrust and enmity between SS and SE will not be easy, but with sincerity and dialogue we will MUST overcome! BTW ever before the white man came was there ever a story of Igbos trying to dominate others? Then, why now?

One thing I know about the igbo is the amount of strong will to succeed ...I think they will go places

What make a man is not is given him. But what is within him ....that is will to succeed and igbo have demonstrated that over the years .

They are successful ethnic group and I think that is why Nigeria is afraid to let them go . They are not leeches but adventouros and biafra war proved that

Jonathan knew everything to do but chose not to do them because he was blinded by money and hence forgot where he came from. Buhari will do everything Jonathan failed to do like

1) completing the East-West road and Elele-Owerri road

2) 2nd Niger bridge

Most importantly he will create a system that works and will never condole corruption at high levels.

I have to say that your opinion aligns with my general observation about Imo state folks -- they seem to be less belligerent in their outlook towards the Nigeria project compared to say an Anambra or Abia pesin.

That is why I believe Rochas stands the best chance of becoming the next president of Nigeria of igbo extraction coz he's an undisputable bridge-builder.

I am Igbo from Imo State and it seems we do not share much of the self destructive trait with some others. I guess we suffered the most casualty in the Biafran war which has been regretable. We have moved on and believe in trying to make Nigeria work.


Smh. Pathetic rochas parrot. Your type is the greatest problem igboland has. Agent of confusion and lies

I have to say that your opinion aligns with my general observation about Imo state folks -- they seem to be less belligerent in their outlook towards the Nigeria project compared to say an Anambra or Abia pesin.

That is why I believe Rochas stands the best chance of becoming the next president of Nigeria of igbo extraction coz he's an undisputable bridge-builder.


What bridge did Okorocha build? Every Igbo man worth his salt knows that Okorocha is a traitor who sold his own people just because of the 'allure' of high office. The mark of a reputable politician is one who stands by his people in tough times, not one who is jumping around from piller to post for political expediency. Despite Okorochas chest beating,he only managed to hang on to his seat by the skin of his teeth. An Igbo presidency is not the most important thing to the Igbos right now but should an Igbo emerge president, I pray it is not Okorocha. Back to topic, all I can say is that anyone from the south-South who's excuse for not joining hands with Igbos is because they fear Igbo domination should remember that as things stand now, they are already being dominated by Igbo,Hausa and Yoruba.............

The hate against the igbo in this country is suffocating! We can't prosper with our worst enemies who comitted genocide against us running the affairs of Nigeria while promoting all kinds of vicious policies that are perfected to derail the growth of the igbo. Gowon, Murtala, Obasanjo, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha, abubakar, all these characters DIRECTLY played some roles in the ethnic cleansing/progrom of the 60s and the attempted destruction of the SE conviniently disguised as a civil war. 50 years after, we still have them changing the batton of Nigerias leadership amongst themselves, driven by hate as they treat the east with utmost levity. . Something must give; a highly decentralised state or an independent entity.

Isnt it surprising to you that people like Arthur Eze, Emeka Offor, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Arthur Nzeribe, Jim Nwobodo and many Igbo greats are direct beneficiaries of the men you listed with exception of Buhari and Abubakar?

IMHO Igbos suffered from a misconceived vengeance resulting from Nzeogwus childish coup in the 1960s which was misinterpreted by the rest of the country as a plot by Igbos to take over leadership by force and in the process killed Northern, Western and South-south prominent men without killing Igbo ones. The Biafran war was a war of survival and we have survived. The best thing is to work for greater good of Nigeria.

Some of you Biafrans need to tone down the level at which you pour invectives on dissenting views. For a people asking for independence and "freedom", you come across as extremely intolerant and vindictive. Smh.

That was how some days ago one of you outrightly called for the murdear/assanination of Rochas Okorocha the other day on this forum simply coz he disagrees with Kanu's methods -- the thread had to be closed and the OP was censured.

At this rate some of you will soon begin hunting down dissenters among yourselves. Such extremist tendencies are already being exhibited by some of you on here. I think the Mods needs to do a better job of regulating your excesses
