pazienza: 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. 5 Likes |

HopeAtHand: 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?? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

HopeAtHand: 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. Your posts screams "west of Ikalands". 5 Likes 1 Share |

NAIJASOM: 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. |

owobokiri: 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. |

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 God bless Nigeria. 3 Likes |

Sometimes people come to the conclusion that they might be better if they have their way and make their own decisions,that being in a diverse society is what's holding them back from being great and living their destinies but i think its childish and does not always bring the desired result.If ibos are resilient people then making it inside nigeria shoul'nt be a problem. |

kemdaniels: 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. Ndigbo are simply tired of Nigeria. 2 Likes |

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. .

Curlieweed: People like you need education, Lucky Dube said Education is the key, look bro you are in darkness you are in a spiritual and mental darkness, go and enlighten yourself, I wanted to insult you at first but thank God I allowed my anger to cool before replying you. This same useless fear is the reason Niger delta betrayed Biafra and what happened after everything? Is the Niger delta Dubai? Hahahaha, In the next 100,000,000 years She will continue to be like this, as far as you people do not reject that sword that was put between you and your own blood brothers, removing that sword is painful, blood will gush out with it, but when the injury heals, you will be free! 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? Okay,and you know very well how these enemies of ours are good in re-witting history so if such things existed before them they would have made a huge propaganda out of it. Be wise. 2 Likes |

OkutaNla: 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............. 2 Likes |

owobokiri: 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.

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.
