"One Nigeria" Is The Same Thing As "No Mans Land" by gidgiddy: 7:02am On Mar 14, 2023
All my life I have heard the same slogans

"We are all one Nigeria"

"Nigeria belongs to us all"

"We are all equal under the law"

"Our strength is in our diversity

But what do these things mean? If Enugu belongs to Igbo and Lagos belongs to Yoruba, Kano belongs to Hausa/Fulani, who then does Nigeria belong to?

The constitution of Nigeria makes us all equal before the law and no where does the constitution give anyone any special privilege for being indigenous to an area, over none indigenes

For Nigeria to make sense, I must see all of Nigeria as "no man's land" because if different parts of Nigeria are owned by different people, and I have less rights than the indigenes of where I go, then it means that:

"One Nigeria" is a scam

"Nigeria belongs to us all " is a sham

The Igbo man sees the entire world as no mans land, thats why they say that if you dont find an Igbo man wherever you go in the world, leave that place

I have never heard that any Igbo man went somewhere and seized someones land, rather, he will go somewhere, work hard and buy land with his sweat

So I say to any Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani who feels that Igbos are taking too much, its not a must we must be together. We were brought together by the white man. If you feel you must assert your ownership of territory, then lets come together, admit there is no "one Nigeria" and disintegrate peacefully

It is either Nigeria is for all Nigerians, and therefore no mans land, or we can go our seperate ways and your land will be your land.

But you cannot have it both ways

Okpaleke, who hails from Amesi in Aguata local government area of Anambra State, was to succeed the late Bishop Anthony Chikwe in Ahiara, but the people of Mbaise insisted on having an indigene as their local government. For five years, Bishop Okpaleke never stepped foot on his Cathedral and only remained Bishop of the Diocese in name

Tell your senators to remove state of origin from the Constitution because it seems most igbos don't have origin.

If you go back 400yrs ago, many Nigerians are not from where they think they came from

Definitely not Yorubas , Igalas , Nupes nor Benins

These are tribes I know that have histories as far back as 13th century.

Don't be naive, every state belongs to a particular tribe. Go to every state and look at the names on their civil service payroll.

Some people's great grandparents migrated to new places and got absorbed.

I am from mbaise ...I know the story very well

Awka had 7 bishops but had 350 reverend father's ...mbaise had 750 reverend fathers yet someone thinks because he was close to pope he could appoint a bishop again from awka to mbaise ...he said no anyone but someone from awka

Mbaise is 95% Catholic ...but emeka inehdioa the political leader of mbaise is Anglican ....

We would not support imposition because an Igbo man did it never

Even at that, they will still know where they originated from..
Example Yorubas in Brazil, Cuba etc..They know that ile life is their origin.

What makes you think you're originally from from the place you think you're from? If you wanna trace your family history, how far back can you trace? There's no guarantee that your forefathers are not from Ijaw or Benin

It's funny seeing pro secessionists like the clownish op obsessing over Lagos.
Lagos and Nigerdelta are the reasons why Beefrau.d would continue to be a pipe dream.

The aba made Jews love Lagos more than their utopian beer.fraud
