DeviIhimself:Please go back to my post you quoted which I have edited. What we are gaining in Nigeria? Well I am going to tell you but also do me a favour by telling me what Ndigbo stand to gain in Biafra than in Nigeria. WHAT NDIGBO ARE GAINING IN NIGERIA 1. Spread of Business Tentacles: Like I said earlier, Ndigbo are virtually in every nooks and crannies of Nigeria. Little wonder it is said that "anywhere you go and do not see an Igbo man, it is advisable to run away". If we secede from Nigeria, we would loose the opportunity of expanding beyond our coast. 2. Investment Outside Igboland: We might be loosing a reasonable chunk of our investment if Biafra successfully secede. Nigeria will not hesitate to put stringent policies that will cost Ndigbo a lot of their investments in the (new) Nigeria. 3. Presently, there is no indices on ground that suggest that Ndigbo are ready for Biafra. Besides the hullabaloos of bigoted Igbo e-warriors on social media, there is nothing else. I should be taking Biafra serious when Igbo investors begin to invest more in Igboland. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Afam4eva:But the oil is in the control of the north. We are talking of Nigeria here not biafra or niger-delta republic. The owners of the oil are powerful northern strongmen. Aligning with the hausa fulani would have given ndi-igbo greater access to the oil than any association with the SS atleast under a Nigeria state. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Most of the Southerners with oil blocs got it through parleying with highly corrupt northern strongmen. That is exactly what ndi-igbo should have done if we were really looking out for our best interests. 3 Likes |

Yanks101:The owners of the oil are the minorities but the oil is being controlled by the North. The aim of aligning with the minorities will be for the oil to change ownership from the North to the Igbos or at worst for it to be shared between the Igbos and their South south brothers and sisters. Aligning with the north will not give you greater access, the best you can benefit is that they can employ you for the day to day running of their oil interests and employ your people in some oil coys. That will make you graduate to being a second class citizen but you will never be the first. The Northers own that territory. 2 Likes |

Re: Igbos, Please Leave The Niger Delta Alone by Nobody: 5:21pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
@OP, you made a very valid point which is for us to completely disregard the SS minorities. But you are wrong when you say Ndi Igbo should focus on SE alone because Igbo land extends past the SE. The current SE as it is, is the creation of our enemies and does not represent the true extent of Igbo land. My proposition has always been that Ndi Igbo, should focus squarely on the five Eastern states, Anioma and the parts of Igbo land carved into Rivers, Benue and Cross river state. We cannot forget our Anioma brothers because they've always played a key role in the Igbo political circle, and I have seen lots of them here on Nairaland uphold their Igboness proudly. The Ikwerres are a non-issue as far as I am concerned and I don't give a rat's about their existence neither do I include them in my proposed Republic of Ala Igbo. Let us focus squarely on developing Ala Igbo whilst also fighting for independence from the evil contraption called Nigeria. Involving these SS minorities in our cause is nothing short of an unnecessary distraction because, Ndi Igbo I know, are very capable of turning Republic of Ala Igbo, into one of the best countries on earth. PS, I hate to see some uncouth Igbo people throwing insults at others, simply because they harbor a different view. Y'all should learn how to argue your case without being abusive. Such attitude makes some of you come off as touts and it's not a good look. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mortiple: this shows the level of your understanding how things work. well no time for long grammar please go and read about ECOWAS law also please go and research how many lands and properties owned by Nigerians in another countries, etc this your excuses are just shallow because you know the truth just that you're afraid to speak up. I don't have time to compile for you the benefits of having an independent country just use what's currently going on in Nigeria to analyze the benefits. thanks |

Afam4eva:This is naive politics and not looking out for our interests. Whoever controls political power controls the oil and the attendants benefits and the north will always do. And one thing about the north is that they are not shy in throwing oil blocs around for their allies if it means a continuous control of the oil. And that is exactly what ndi-igbo should have benefited. The likes of alakija, adenuga, otedola got oil blocs via being boy-boy to the north. 1 Like 1 Share |

DeviIhimself: Nwanne, its a fact that ECOWAS law is only on paper. If you are in doubt, ask Igbo people doing businesses in ECOWAS countries like Ghana, Cameroon etc. Take it or leave it, Nigeria will definitely make it more difficult for Ndigbo if Biafra secedes. 2 Likes |
Re: Igbos, Please Leave The Niger Delta Alone by Nobody: 5:32pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
That's ok. Necessity is the mother of invention. Ndi Igbo are more than capable of turning dust to gold. Don't forget that we got to where we are with just 20 pounds, amidst other evil policies that were enforced to try and subjugate us. But look how far we've come! Today, we are better than our oppressors (the Yoruba & Hausa put together). Just know that he whom God has blessed, no man can curse. Mark my words, Biafra of just Ndi Igbo alone will stand side by side with great countries like America, Isreal, Japan and China. Ndi Igbo have got what it takes, and I believe so much in our ability.

As igbo, I am often confused as to which decision is best. If not for injustice, one Nigeria would have made sense. but since justice has been slayed the only option is do go our separate ways. if in small europe Ireland can not go with England then what are we saying in Nigeria. The way to go is igbo should spearhead the match and then any tribe that wants to join can do so with a good agreement that will guarantee everybody's right and previlages. |
