Noneroone: Ok. Ordinarily I should refer you to the 1959 constitution build up. But for the sake of clarity I will address it here. Prior to Amalgamation of 1914, all manner of people were grouped into 2 protectorates (North and South) with lopsided statistics in favour of the north, but the south had advantage in education. By 1946 when the south was broken into 2, and Nigeria now had 3 regions, the north now had additional population advantage over the other 2regions. But it did not become an issue as we were moving towards independence together. But then, when Enahoro moved the motion for independence in 1956, and the north raised concerns over what should have been a balancing advantage for the south, it became a source of concern for the West in particular. So, Awo said if it's about the issue of domination, the north also should be broken into regions. This will ensure that the northern population would be broken down into the regions., and the fear of domination by any tribe would be settled as there would be no dominant region but all with fairly equal population. That was the position of Awo in 1959 or Yoruba would not be part of the new Nigeria. But Zik thought he could manipulate the north, and together with the north they suppressed Awo and wished that fear away. And today Awo is vindicated! Modified The actual submission of Awo was that Nigeria should be broken into (smaller components ) states before independence to address the fear of domination by the region that has population advantage (as politics is a game of numbers), and to also give the minorities voice. 2 Likes |

There are far more stvpid people in this country than people who have sense....too many people are always thinking of how to destroy, break or end things rather than thinking about how to build. When a typical Nigerian doesn't know how to solve a problem, he/she imagines that the best solution would be to destroy the entire system without wasting time. #MentalLaziness 2 Likes |

Nwakaumu: Like I earlier said, be mindful and be careful of what you ask for. I mentioned Idi-Araba and Ikoyi so it will bring it your forefront. If it will please you, the same happened in Portharcourt township.My father lost his house in Portharcourt town like many Yorubas and Igbos to the same civil war. When I got a job with NLNG, He took me to the house and warned me never to build properties in Portharcourt. You do not know the implication of breaking away. You can seat in cozy comfortable room and be talking on social media about breaking away from Nigeria. I am just warning you of the realities of what you are asking for. I worked 18 years with NLNG but because of my fathers warning, I refused to buy any property in PHC. Many of friends in Shell, Chevron, etc, have sold off their properties in PHC and relocated the families to the west or abroad. What am I telling you, we are better prepared for breakup than you Igbos are. You can lash out at we Yourubas all you like and all you want. Face reality - Igbos are not ready for break-up. Ask yourself how many rich Yorubas or rich Hausa/Fulanis have heavy investments in the east? Ask the same question of your rich Igbos. And ask how many of your rich and elites Igbo are supporting the Biafran aspiration. Face reality. 6 Likes |

Igboesika: Stop kidding yourself, face reality. Igbos will lose out badly if there is a breakup of Nigeria now. You can quote me, the Ijaws will never join Biafra. You will lose out badly in Lagos, Abuja and Portharcourt. I am not so conversant with north, so I do not know how establish Igbos are in Kano, Kaduna, but I am sure you will lose badly there too. So be careful and mindful of what you are asking for. 3 Likes |

BabaAduras:As long as Nigerians in diaspora are doing well In their various businesses without any form of harassment from their host, Biafrans in Nigeria doing their businesses in Nig shouldnt be a problematic issue as well. Unless if Nig would be in a state of anarchy after Biafrans must have gained their independence ( who knows) . Same thing applicable to foreigners that have investments in Nigeria. They are being protected by Nig law. Again, excluding Port Harcourt from Biafra is laughable. You can go there and confirm about their opinion on Biafran issue. I wouldn't want to argue about that and other things you listed above. Lastly, Biafran issue is not an igbo affairs that's why their last president wasn't an Igbo man. 2 Likes |
