woodcook:


First and foremost I will assume that you have acquired some form of education or maybe still in the process.

I am only going to comment on this post for the purpose of the young ones who are going to read it, so they can start at a very young age to learn how to think and make logical argument. It seems most Nigerian youth are bad at engaging in critical thinking.

That aside, firstly I am going to take your bait and play 'sand-sand' play with you :what do you mean by successful? Because being successful connotes different things to different people. Going by the names you picked out, for every P-Square or Mikel that grew up outside the East there are Flavor, Genevieve, Phyno etc that grew up in the East. For every Ojukwu and Zik there are notable men there are people like Soludo etc that grew up in the East.

Talking about environment, if you have ever step a foot outside where you have been holed-in all your life, you would know that there is no better place to raise kids and imbibe the spirit to conquer and take the world by the balls than in the East. Those that came to Lagos to hustle already had their instinct nurtured and cultured back home from the streets of the East. Forget the noise in Lagos go down there and try out your survival instincts, compete with youths your age on daily survival skills and you will come back to testify (na then you go know say 3 into 3 places na 9).

On a serious note before you come up with a conjuncture like this do a little finding (stop being lazy your mb is not only to watch porn ) and always top such write up with concrete data. Concrete data and verifiable facts helps a lot.

This part is for all Yoruba youths out there. I am advising most Yoruba youths of this generation not to be like the past generations. You people should leave your 'hole' for once, travel around Nigeria. Go to the North, go to the East, go to South-South. Spend weeks or even months living there and you will get to learn that there is a world outside Lagos. Nigeria does not start and end in Lagos. Being educated does not clean up ignorance, you can be educated and still ignorant. From my experience when it comes to knowing Nigeria and Nigerians, I think the Yorubas are the most ignorant just as most Americans are about the world outside the US of A. Some of you many find it insulting but truth as to be told. The tides are changing it is time you leave your comfort zone, go out learn more about Nigeria and Nigerians, and your approach to issues will never be the same. You can ask those that happened to leave the SW for the first time during their NYSC year how ignorant they realized they were? London is never Nigeria and will not make up for your ignorance about your own country and its people. Stop using Lagos as a gauging scale Lagos is not and will never be the ideal environment to learn about the people of Nigeria.

dmater:
It is becoming increasingly ridiculous the manner the 'BFR is dead' chanters put forward a thousand and one reasons why the quest for nationhood will not succeed.

You boast that Igbo people have no crude oil. You assure yourselves that Igbo people are mainly concerned about South-south oil even when there are indigenous Igbos in South-south. You even console yourselves that Igbo people do not add value to the system. You spread evil news. You attempt threats - of war, starvation, properties confiscation, forfeiture of resident permit. You have concluded that Igbo people cannot survive as a nation.

With all the many negative wishes you have got you are still not satisfied that your prophecies are enough deterrent to the emergence of a new nation.

Every day the cycle of evil tidyings is repeated in different ways in the media to give yourselves a false sense of fulfilment that you're making progress to stop the emergence of BFR. But then frustration and its resultant consequences are waiting down the line just because you have wished to dictate how another people live when it is evident that you are barely existing.

**grins** OP Igbos toil for this hell hole called nigeria and nigeria has never been given back in return.
Which group goes to hausaland, develop and possibly get killed by the hausa muslim during their riots of intolerance? Igbo!

Which group projects nigeria positively through nollywood? Igbos

Which group gives it all for the country during sporting competion? Igbo! Infact 1994 Super eagles team was made up of 85% Igbo. The '98 olympic champions were made up of 95% Igbo. Pundits called 2013 victorious Super eagles at Afcon Biafran eagles.

Who builds in other regions believing that nigeria will be one forever? Igbo!

What do they in return? Taunt from ungrateful nigerians e.g 'I will never vote an Eastern/Igbo president.'

The Biafran truth don capture your nigeria, now you are running helter-skelter trying to salvage the carcass of what's left of nigeria. **grins**

You've said it all.

God bless you!!!

Long life to my brothers who came and murdered this OP.

Chukwu Okike Abiama bless all your inheritances, top above all, may Chukwu Okike Abiama give you the land which he promised us.

Iseeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umu Chineke!!!!!!!!!!!!!
