[b]You are trying to turn what I said into a "Biafran agenda" but in your above answer exposes the weakness of your argument. Yes the egalitarian and republican nature of the Igbos cannot make them accept the political machinations of the Hausa/Yoruba alliance and that is a major reason why the Igbo man should not be in one country with these two groups. It's also a key reason why Nigeria does not work as a nation. As for the minorities in the SS, Igbos will always be a majority, wether in Nigeria or Biafra. The difference is that Biafra will not be a 'forced marriage' like Nigeria. It will be for the Ijaw man,Ibibio man,Ananag man etc to decide for themselves if they prefare the ills of Nigeria or the ills of Biafra or to agitate for their own individual nations. The only thing that the minorities should be aware of is that Igbos are not empire builders or overlords. We don't intend to emasculate anyone politically. If they fear Igbo domination, they should seek a different political arrangement or come to the Biafran negotiation table or stay in Nigeria.[/b]

Nigeria is not the only multiple ethnic country. Almost all countries in sub Saharan Africa are. Congo has over 500 Ethnic groups. Even America is a multi cultural society. Obama won last election by wooing blacks and Hispanics. So my dear learn how to form alliances.
By the way if I may ask, if you dont need to be in same country with Yorubas and Hausas why do you need their money?
Igbos are scattered all over Nigeria doing one business or the other in Hausa and Yoruba lands collecting their Naira.why?

QuotaSystem:


Best off indeed yet you're all over Lagos and Nigeria as a whole, you can only fool yourself, I served in the East and I know what it looks like compared to other regions. By the way I'm not Yoruba, just stating the obvious.

Now stop derailing and tell us why you're still bitter after Jonathan's defeat.

QuotaSystem:


There's no political 'machination' in place, just political strategy and sophistry. Ibos are politically immature because of their counter-productive republican nature, which means you cannot stoop to conquer and you will always have the short end of the stick. As for Biafra, let me tell you here that you also need alliances to make it work otherwise you will continue to be the nation's laughing stock.

The N Deltans are also not fooled by your candy covered story. You said you hate to elect your leader through other tribes, why do you not mind electing your leader through Niger deltans?

truefact:

Capital dunce, Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria and lagos has seaport and airport, needed for development..

Besides, people in every country normally go to the capital city... so there is nothing special in igbos going to lagos...
Yes, igbos prefer jona to an illiterate jihadist...and Igbos bow to no fool... it is unfortunate igbos find themselves in mist of Dunces and cowards like you and your likes...

Even the colonial master said igbos are indomitable and nearly whites... igbos are not your every day Scratchfaced-conheads sort of africans...

lygn19:
All dz cursed sore loosers dat are descended from generations of fools wud never let igbos be.
The govt appointed every other region in d govt but according to him no igbo man can merit his govt, and u want us to keep shut, this is d same way that if it doesnt take time when its time to appoint ministers the same govt has a large probability of not appointing igbos and when that time comes some cursed people wud say as far as he delivers they dont care.
All of a sudden the igbos that Educationally in Nigeria are subjected to high scores cant merit posts but doz dat are subjected to scoring even 2 over 200 are now the ones dat can merit positions...lol funny world.

Lol. You think you have a nation? You don't. Lord Lugard cannot come from Britain to give you a nation. The watchword here is sovreignty. If the Igbos, for any reason whatsoever, decide that they do not want to be part of Nigeria, then Nigeria has no business being with Igbos. The same thing goes for any minority in the SS and the Igbos. We can then move on to discuss the terms of 'disengagement'. Do you know why people fight wars? It because one person is fighting to to hold the sovereigty of another person.

lygn19:
the same people dst cudnt thrive in the Nigerian system when it comes to battle for picking who is d best, dat they had to mk sure feats like d quota system, federal character and d rest where put in place are now claiming merit... funny world.

QuotaSystem:


You're only reaping what you sowed.

QuotaSystem:


Are you not the same people crying for the same quota system and federal character to be applied to appointments? Are you confused or just being hypocritical?

lygn19:

when the table shall turn I hope ur people dont go arounnd rioting that igbos hv taken over der job's.
there is a reason y ur forefathers advoacated for d quotasystem and federal character system of govt.
Dat time I hope d people u think are reaping what they sowed wud be merciful.

Who is the laughing stock? You or me? The ethnic group with the biggest middle class in this country is a laughing stock? The group that has more technocrats, more intellectuals, more real businesses, highest literacy rate? And who are the ones laughing at the igbos? Qoata system and his wretched-sambissa dwelling- almajiri hordes! The clan with the highest illiteracy rate for females in the whole wild world. Laughing in the middle of polio, menegitis and bok haramism.. . I have always told you, it will take you unfortunate lot, a generation full of painstaking efforts to catch up. But it seems you have chosen to run your mouth. If the presidency was enough, you would have been better off up north. . It is the culture, stewpid!

This is rich coming from a region battling with poverty, armed robbery, kidnapping, ritual murders, prostitution, granny rape, cannibalism, baby commerce, drug trafficking and other sickening societal evils alien to a sane society. Your ilk are rejected from the pyramids of Kano to the mountains of Indonesia where they're hanged like chickens.

Talk about suffering and smiling...

Continue your empty chestbeating while you struggle at the bottom of the food chain, afterall playing victim, like akpu, is an ibo specialty.

lygn19:

if Nigeria says they want to practise merit let it be removed from d constitution let everybody coming to the table come with clean hands, not a situation where u shout merit when it suits u and federal character when it doesnt.

zendy:



Let me explain this way. Ghana is one of the largest countries in West Africa, in terms of population, with 28 million people and recently had a new president. The Igbos are a tribe of over 40 million people. Now as an Igbo man, I am wondering why I have to go through a Yoruba or Hausa man before I elect my leader? Because we are 'one Nigeria'? Who made us one? Lord Lugard the British thief? I think the loss of GEJ was a stark reminder that Igbo sovereignty is being stolen in the name of Nigeria. How can people still be dictating to a tribe of over 40 million people who their president will be? As an Igbo man I am angry, but not because GEJ lost, but because I know that I should not be in the same country with Yorubas and Hausas still dragging who will be my president

lygn19:
anybody has noticed dat most of d igbo politicians who supported Buhari has turned mute over night.
They came up first with lines like igboz shud be patient when Buhari made his first 15 appointments d lines changed to it doesnt matter where d person comes from as far as he or she delivers, Buhari made another 10 and they just kept mute and dissappeared...funny

uniklinkum:


shut up and see what your hate filled brothers are about on this thread. karma is a sexy eyed biatch.

Abagworo:


Buhari is doing well and I am proud of voting him. Igbo politicians who supported Buhari are already making their gains so I don't get your point. Appointments has no impact on average Igbo man but stable power and stable oil price does and Buhari has made wonderful progress in both.

That's exactly what you're doing. Rejecting quota system when doesn't favour you, and begging for it when it does. That's pure hypocrisy.

lygn19:

Abagworo leave all doz talks u know what am talking about we both supported Apc before the election but making u, I and d odas pay because of d sins of a few doesnt add up. so no igbo man is capable of handling any position, it's this attitude u wud put up when if they dont take time when it comes to siting projects they wudnt site any in d southeast then they wud come up with another line that it doesnt matter where a project is located that as far as its Nigeria... big big talks.

QuotaSystem:


You are not sovereign. Nigeria is. Also keep in mind the Igbos don't have the luxury of just deciding they don't want to be part of Nigeria whether by secession or militarily, that decision rests with Nigeria and her commander-in-chief.

You keep avoiding this question;

You said you hate to elect your leader through other tribes, why do you not mind electing your leader through Niger deltans?

QuotaSystem:


Which table? The one you're scattering with your blind hatred for others? Until Ibos can humble themselves and seek alliances with other Nigerians, they can never be President or have Biafra by peace or war. Mark my word.

Abagworo:


You are wrong on that. One of my major reasons for disliking Jonathan is that he saw Igbos as beggars he would pacify with positions in place of infrastructure. He did little ir nothing in infrastructure across Southeast and South-south. His biggest insult was when he revoked the PPP 2nd Niger bridge awarded by Obasanjo claiming Igbos did not deserve to pay in order to win 2011 elections only to re-award another PPP saying he would go on exile if not completed by 2015 and then in 2015 work has barely started. Buhari has come with same pattern but I believe he can achieve it as an upright man.

lygn19:

time shall tell.
karma us truly a bitch pray that when ur time comes others wud be merciful.
Its u people and ur tribalistic attidtues dats making Nigeria not move forward;
in d past when d north had groundnut pyramids they kept making noise up and down because Easterners were in der region, they never knew that one of d worlds most valuable commodity was in d east d region they castigated so much.
After Biafran war jobless people like doz ediots in Acf came and where saying they are willing to do it again, Boko haram started ravaging d north, first they were killing southerners during elections and for other useless reasons u guys wud turn and say after all its not u until d monster u were grooming came home to roost.
now Buhari has started u ppl arr defending him to the bones, u forget dat power corrupts when he becomes a full fledged dictator that no longer gives a damn about anybody even his kins u ppl wud start looking for where to turn to.
as for what u said abt igbos its ur opinion so I wont blame u.
