Nobody is clamouring for war. Igbos need the attention of the world and Nigeria to their request, and that's why they do what they do. Fulani herdsmen still move about the East freely but if it were to be the North we both know what would have happened.

Nobody is happy with how things how now, but everyone knows that the Constitution will never be amended accordingly or will the Igbos be listened to if some things are not done. It may be extreme by the standard of the Igbos but by the standard of the North that is complaining it is not. They have done worse and have the potential to do more at the snap of the finger.

There will likely not be a Nigeria after the exit of Biafra. True Niger Deltans also want out.
The big mistake you are all making. After Biafra, it will be "to your tent Israel "

obataokenwa:
Let their be referendum and we end and still remain peacefully. If everyone leaves, we will know our boundary and respect each other. Nothing scares an Igbo man like their constant bloodshed

simplycarro:


So Igbos own is to insult ? Ok I get you.

simplycarro:


We can actually achieve this, this is my dream of a restructured Nigeria, after the Biafrans must have been pushed to their country.
It's increasingly becoming obvious that the North is tired of the Igbos and it's clear the the Northerners are more matured in their approach. No insults like the Biafrans, just facts as known to them.
The debate will eventually force this govt to DO SOMETHING.
Unfortunately the Ibos hardly debate, but to insult, curse and throw expletives all around the place.

EmeeNaka:
You don't know anything. Are Boko Haram not North? Did they not kill and maim people? Did they not insult Christians and non-muslims?
Any group that's agitating do insult anybody standing on their way. Stop being petty.

Stricker321:
Good!

Once the Igbos leave, the center will cave in and that will be the end of Nigeria.

nobleblood:
Igbos are worst and over dominaring. Greedy at best with no clear coordinates. They mess up your environment all in the name of doing business. Am from akwa ibom. And have withness them close range. Anywhere they step to, they want to overpower the indigenes sytematically and rule.will best be a slave to an Hausa man, than an Igbo.


Thank heavens they lost that war. Otherwise....

PointB:
When a very sizeable population of any country i.e. Igbos in Nigeria do not feel welcome in their country, how do you expect the best from them? Nigeria can keep patching things up, but it won't change anything.

Some South-East politicians have started clamouring for Presidency in 2019. Let me ask, "Who President epp"? Presidency is just 8 years. In then end just like Obasanjo, and before Yar/GEJ, and eventually Buhari, it won't changed the course of Nigeria.

Permit me to digress. The Nigeria situation is akin to Seun handing over the key of his politics forum to some individuals. Some of these individuals then feel so powerful because they have access to the ban button or perhaps because they never wielded real power. In the end they keep going in circles, chasing same shadow that they have been chasing for over a decade. Then they get frustrated because they are not making any impact: trying same thing and using same tools against same people.

When Seun get tired of their listless and ineffectual meandering, he replaces them like pack of dis-used condoms. We were here when Jarus ended his despotic gatekeeper-ship career in Nairaland. We saw Sexkilz tried to kill everything that moves, and there was ikenna who 'followed' every suspected trouble maker like a shadow. There was Ngwake, Afam4eva etc. Today we have OAM4J others who lurk in his shadow. In the end these people did (sometime without human face) what they thought was best and continued to. Yet here we are. Nairaland has not changed, and doesn't look like changing. The toga of bigotry and tribalism it wore over the years has not been shed. It's rather strengthened despite whatever efforts the MODs claimed they are putting in.

This is no different from the pathetic country Nigeria is. Nigeria is broken, very broken. And none of the past presidents were able to find a solution to it. Neither with new ones with same system. Rather, it get worse with new ones.

Handing over presidency to us (Igbo) in 2019, changes nothing. The best it offers is a Pyhrric victory . For "if the foundation is broken, what can the righteous do?"

This Northern Youth Group are right in their support for the call for referendum. We need to look ourselves in the eyes and decide if we want to be part of the entity called Nigeria. Other ethnic nationalities i.e Yoruba need this referendum too. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is as sweet as stolen water. But there is always consequence. We have run full cycle are back to square one.

We cannot continue to run a country like this. Something need to give - the faulty foundation, I surmise!

Now is the time.

Referendum now!

hammer6:
THEY SHOULD EQUALLY WRITE THEIR SENATORS AND REPS MEMBERS.

IN NNAMDI KANU VOICE, "BY THE TIME WE ARE THROUGH WITH THEM, THEY WILL BEG US TO LEAVE."

E NEVER HAPPEN, NNAMDI KANU IS A PROPHET.

Esseite:


Or a call to the round table again would be much better and safer...

nell4:
No it will not. ND is there to support them

bkool7:


Here we go ...the north should do your job
