RosaConsidine: Wow. These are words of wisdom. I admire your perspective of unity in particular and life in general. I am actually pro one Nigeria. However, two cannot walk together except they are in agreement. The essence of unity is for people (a majority) to have a sense of being part of humanity, the pleasure of friendship, of mutual trust, and of the desire to cooperate and help each other every way possible. Citizens should be able to look each other in the eye and find hope instead of fears. Our people should help us overcome feelings of helplessness and powerlessness. Instead, they have caused our brethren to suffer unnecessarily cruel fates. Our women have been subjected to pain, with no joy in sight. The greatest gift one can give to their child is the wisdom gained from experience. How then are they to forget all that has happened and run into the enemies' embrace so quick? The differences aren't much of a problem if we're willing to work toward identified goals. I mean, Americans don't butcher their fellow countrymen as if the country were a slaughterhouse. The Hausa/Fulani Muslims do not tolerate dissenting views nor do they accommodate those that do not share their faith or come from their ethnic stock. Why must they kill our people just because they do not share their views, faith or bloodlines? What's happening in Nigeria is ethno-religious cleansing. Beyond just language, it will be difficult for an Nkpor man to understand an Nsukka man if his first words are carnage. To mete out such punishment on any person at all is the most barbaric form of wickedness, let alone one's fellow countryman. In America, there's the willingness to tolerate others regardless of how strange or absurd their views, faith or circumstances may be. In Nigeria, they just want to kill. How then can we ever understand each other? 2 Likes |

I'm not exactly sure how much Charlie Boy has profited from the Hausa/Yoruba gang up against the Igbos, but he seems to have profited immensely. He seems to have difficulty articulating his thoughts in a fact-based manner. And frankly, confused. He agrees that, of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, only the Igbos suffer marginalization and naked injustice, but somehow, he thinks Igbos should, despite monumental gang-up against them, be able to make political and infrastructural gains like Yorubas and Hausas. The existential and political structure of Nigeria is seriously defective, and weighs heavily against any group of people that rejects corruption and accepts hard work. Igbos, generally, do not thrive in societies where meritocracy is ignored, for the Igbo psyche is wired to reward hard work, community service, and personal achievement. All selfless sacrifices and political overtures that Igbos make in Nigeria come to nothing. Yorubas and Hausas will alway gang up to thwart any igbo's sincere effort. Nigeria is unraveling and it's people taking a dive to the bottom of human decency. The earlier the Biafra, the better. Like Achuzia, Charlie Boy's belief that for Igbos to prosper politically and economically they need a central oligarchic command structure betrays his ignorance. In fact, it is the unique lack of such subservient structure that has enabled Igbos to do better than other ethnic groups. Our decentralized chiefdom is a huge advantage and serves to place no impediment to our efforts. Whatever an Igbo man, or indeed woman, has not been able to do is only that which the individual has not decided to do. Our ingenuity and intellectual prowess is not stifled by a blind obedience to any Oba or Emir. The problem is that our hard work and ability to succeed in the face of enormous adversity has long been an intractable source of jealousy and hatred toward us. What we, Igbos, want to seize to exist is a situation where we continue to leave our destiny and those or kids in the hands of those who, not only wish us no good, but by all means hate us, and want to annihilate us. Igbos are highly respectful of their elders and seniors, only to deserving ones, though. 1 Like |

Igbokao: What you have outlined are supposed to be Igbo values - but they are values that are expressed across the length and breadth of the country. They aren't peculiar to us alone. I was born and brought up in Lagos but returned to Igboland to school so I have a slightly balanced view of how things work at least in both the South West and South East. Are there hardworking Igbos? Yes, definitely. Same as there are hardworking Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw and the rest. And there are also lazy people from all these tribes. I have had the opportunity to interact with people from various tribes across Nigeria and the truth is that deep down, we don't hate each other because we know we are in this Nigerian struggle together. However, our leaders both at the national and regional stage keep selling us these lies that people from all the other tribes want to annihilate our tribes - and the sad part is that we are buying it wholesale. Some of my best friends through my life have come from the length and breadth of this country. I go to Lagos Island to buy items and see Igbos and Yorubas trading side by side and even helping each other make sales in the absence of each other. One particularly interesting incident occurred when I was in Idumota area of Lagos Island. I was in a store to buy some items from an Igbo trader which he didn't have and he asked me to wait while he went to fetch it from another store. While he was away, there was sudden;y a mad scramble and when I asked what was happening, it turned out that the CBD, a Lagos state outfit were approaching with their vans and seizing any items they found displayed on the roadside. It might shock you to know that it was the Igbo man's Yoruba neighbor that quickly evacuated his items into his store before the CBD agents arrived. If this widescale hatred was a reality, wouldn't she have just made sure her own items were secure and ignored her neighbor to his fate of losing his goods? This hatred is a myth and I find it extremely sad that we keep buying into it when it's not real. 6 Likes |

malton: I understand your fears. But as I have severally pointed out, we are being sold nonexistent theories by the people we look up to as leaders of thought and ideas. Do you think the average Hausa man or Yoruba man or woman is born with a natural hatred of Igbos? No! It's just sentiment passed onto us by our parents and religious and political leaders. I used to argue that Igbos were better than any other tribe back in secondary school till I realised that every tribe is unique in it's own way and no tribe is essentially better than any other. It's just a lie sold to us by people for whatever reasons they deemed fit and we bought those lies because we looked up to these people to provide us guidance. Some of my closest friends who have helped me at some of the most trying moments of my life have come from various tribes across Nigeria. They would not help me if this so-called hatred is inborn. But we have learnt to ignore what divides and separates us and instead focus on what unites us in a bid to make each other better. We need to stop selling this same lie to future generations because we would be doing them a great disservice, rob them of a chance to work together to build a country that's rewarding and developed and make them more susceptible to dubious and manipulative religious and political leaders. 3 Likes |

Igbokao: My dear many thanks for responding from the perspective of a great mind. Yours is the most poignant response to Charlie Boys disappointing verbiage. He always disappoints whenever he talks about Biafra and Nigeria. But like many have said, in a referendum he represents just only one vote and my vote will certainly nullify his. |

technicallyrich: I know that. This is a privileged they enjoy from Nigeria. Do you think Igbos would enjoy this when Biafra is created? Igbos complain of marginalisation. Have they been to some part of the west or most part of the north? This problem of regional development is a general problem. If only Igbos put their energy in the right direction. Trust me, other tribes would be envious. 1 Like |

[quote author=marticeus post=55756690]Charly boy really on point, the down trodden has no ethnic colouration, Nigerian masses are not together, they are used by the elite to perpetuate every form of man inhumanity against his fellow man. It is ironical, it is only in Nigeria that criminals are celebrated and when called to answer for their misdeeds, they will quickly put on their ethnic cloaks and cry marginalization. For those clamouring for Biafra as a way to escape from injustice will still meet another and bigger form of injustice waiting for them in Biafran. Let us simply observe the philosophy of Biafra of the mind. Let Biafra be the symbol of every Nigerian oppressed and marginalised be it Hausa, IBO, Yoruba or any of the minority ethnic group. I see a day coming when all the down trodden masses will wake up and demand for their God given right in this nation. A nation where one man locks up 13 billion naira equivalent in hard currency hausa, yoruba and igbo biafrans? you must be high on sumting |

Playing the clown, making people laugh, and imitating toughness for entertainment purposes are what Charley-boy is good at, nothing more. He seems to be only able to think on surface level. Political and social issues in Nigeria are fast-moving parts, and Charley-boy absolutely has neither the intelligence nor discerning mind required to analyze these complex dynamics in relation to the Igbos. Charley-boy is completely the opposite of his Dad in terms of intelligence and deep thinking ability. He has used silly street-sounding terms and occasional verbose clichés to attempt to simplistically characterize the great Biafra and its leaders. It appears to me that there are two types of Igbos - first, those whose claim to being Igbo is their ability to verbally attack and engage in character assassination of their fellow Igbos, and second, those who, actually, forsake their comfort and risk death to take action to stop oppression, injustice, and killing of their fellow Igbos. 2 Likes 1 Share |
