Q.E.D
Your comment closes this thread for me.
Igbos are black republicans, that's why you'll never see any strong traditional ruler like an Oba in their land. They believe in "Power to the people", and a level playing ground for all.
I am praying against any violent uprising (God forbid), but it may become inevitable if they believe that the country will never provide that level playing ground.

brize:
rich folks?? So do you think that when Biafra comes then all Igbo(biafran) properties/investment in other region will be called abandoned property?? Or dont people have properties in other countries??

IzonOwei:
All I want is resource control...after that nigeria can go to hell...country wey no get direction... ...a country where a certain group of people are treated like second hand citizens...lets practice true federalism and make man pikin rest...

dinachi:

This is refreshing. Our people needs to tell ourselves the truth. We have a lot of investments in the north and Yorubaland and even the south south. After the last war our supposed Biafra brothers the I jaws in Rivers state seized our properties and termed it abandoned properties
These clown here still fail to learn their lessons.
The time of civil war is a time for other tribes to advance ahead of us. Many are praying for Biafra eyeing Igbo properties in their area and hoping we secede.

chibuezewilliam:
Nice one op....the truth is that it will be very difficult for biafra to secede now,times have changed,we are no more in the sixties....checking the amount of successful ibos in the south west here will make our brothers back home think again,which ibo man will leave his properties and businesses to be clamouring for biafra,my dad has a house here in lagos,my uncles and inlaws to have,dat applies to oda ibos in south west,abi una wan tell me say alaba boys go follow fight for biafra abi.....my people men don wise up ooo,nobody get time to fight again...I am proudly ibo and I support the motion...#ONENIGERIA.

Genius100:


Dude, feel free to conduct a poll on Nairaland and you will realize I'm 100% right. What I'm telling you is that Nigerians will gladly support the secession of a Biafra that consist of the 5 SE states. So let's stop the silly narrative that Nigerians do not want Biafra to secede.

The only time there will be issues is if Biafra wants to forcefully take the oil producing states. The Ijaws, Itsekiri, Ibibios no go gree.. That's the bottom line..

Lordave:
Dude, I've been following this thread gently until I just realised that I can't contain your foolishness any longer. It still marvels me why Nairaland and Seun allowed this shittty thread to thrive while it's clear this dickheaded prick is an impostor? Seun isn't this slowpoke violating a rule? What are the mods doing? This guy just opened a hate inciting thread and all of you suddenly went to bed. You mods better wake up before I join in disgracing this shameful billy goat.

Where did it gain momentum? Only in your imagination!

Bifwoli:
Igboland should still aim to secede regardless.Nothing good comes easily and if it means war then so be it coz right now Igbo folks are getting a raw deal with their resources being misused by the rest of a godamned country of leeches.

Nonsense

[s][/s]dinachi:
I feel a deep sense of grief and bewilderment when I read a lot of misguided comments from my Igbo brothers with some calling for a violent secession from Nigeria. Most of the generation of people making these statement never witnessed the civil war. They did not see first hand the horrors of war. They did not experience the terrific impact of bombs or the loud ear splitting sounds of heavy artillery shells as the explode. Should I talk about the economic impact? How our people were reduced to paupers and had to start from the scratch. How beautiful daughters were forcefully torn from the warm embrace of their families and married off to leprous men in the North just to spite our people. Only a mentally deranged and prone to self destruction individual will ever in his life support a violent secession from Nigeria.

Our problem is not secession. Our problem is learning how to live with other tribes in harmony while doing our businesses. Our focus should be on how to build consensus across the nation for vital political interests.

I laugh heartliy when I see some misguided Niger Delta youths like barcanista and co trying to be clever by half by playing to our sense of entitlement. Speaking from both sides of the mouth about how our people are being pushed aside and marginalized.
Yet these are the same people that effectively sabotaged the Biafran struggle under Ojukwu. These are the same people that lead the enemy in through our backyards and betrayed their so called brothers. Now they have started a new song because their brother Jonathan who performed woefully was booted out by majority of Nigerians.

I want us to know sometime that is historical. The moment an attempt is made to secede, the I jaws will immediately turn their backs and negotiate us away to advance their interests. So we will end up alone fighting the whole of Nigeria and loosing again.

When the chips are down, we are always alone.

Another point to consider is that Nigeria has become too intergrated to break up. Almost every family has in laws across their tribe. How will that be handled?

Igbo are the most integrated people in Nigeria with business interests across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Most of our people will become jobless or stay and be killed the moment a secession is declared.

Those who knew the truth will tell you that even inside Biafra there were still serious cases of tribalism and nepotism, even under the revered Ojukwu. That was why ahiara declaration became necessary to tackle these issues.

Finally, we are not ready militarily and would only be engaging in another massive waste of life if we insist on our ways.
So my people do not be deceived! Our best and only bet is to remain as law abiding citizens of Nigeria while doing our best to continue to be relevant in the scheme of things.

I can bet my 50 cent, you are not an Igbo, but why you are ashame of your identity gives more concern than the gibberish thread you started and sustained.
Shame on you

chibuezewilliam:
yea,I expect the ones back east to finish me

Atk1nson:

U mustn't use what happens in your village to generalise. A Lot Of Inter tribal marriages occur in Lagos involving Igbo men.

udokpuenyi:


No Igbo will gain anything buy indulging in war of words with fellow Igbo. A true freedom fighter knows that not many will believe or share his aspiration but it does not stop him from continuing the struggle.

tensazangetsu:
lol how many igbo men have you met that are married to yoruba women or fulani women the few that do that are fools and don't know their history. The British never left nigeria they still control this country with neocolonialism and lastly in an igbo republic merit will reign over everything else no one cares if you are from asaba or aba.

IzonOwei:
All I want is resource control...after that nigeria can go to hell...country wey no get direction... ...a country where a certain group of people are treated like second hand citizens...lets practice true federalism and make man pikin rest...

dinachi:

We are more educated and well exposed than in 1914 when the amalgamation happened. So you have never heard about unity in diversity? The British left since the sixties and we are still going strong as a united nation. The most important lesson is understanding our differences and doing everything within our power to minimize it.
And do you think even if we split along ethnic lines, the Igbo man from Anambra will not love to lord it over and above his brother from Ebony I and vice versa. Or the Yoruba man from Osun will not like to overtake the man from Ogun?
It is about individuals!
Following your argument why should an Igbo man marrry a Yoruba Lady, then? Do they have similar cultures? Or why should an idoma lady marry a Fulani man?
It is very simple! Know your differences and minimize it. Each tribe and ethnic group in Nigeria has something positive to contribute if given the chance.

Atk1nson:

I don't see the sense is striving for a landlocked country with hostile neighbours and lot of internally displaced place. Igbos are likely to be most affected because they are the most travelled and dispersed in Nigeria.

Many of you talking war know nothing of it, my grand dad while he was yet alive told me of the horrors of the biafran war and how they had to live in the bush because of constant air raid.
He also made spoke of the atrocities fellow Igbo con mitted using the chaos during d war as cover.
The story is d same if u speak to any elderly Igbo man.
All we want is a fair nigeria, and not a race or religion thing.

Kachisbarbie:


hehe
I am back East, but I gat your back bro. Ride or die chick, you drive_ I shoot. Hahahaha.

You're right somehow, majority of those ones that have lived in the East all their life , can so promote tribalism.
Lets drop the hate, and move on.
Some set of people are out to benefit from the secession.

mpowa:


Probably the most enlightened Igbo man I've come across, how I wish there will be more Igbos with mentality like yours and this Nation will finally move forward. America is a nation with Varieties of ethnicities, even Race, but they lived together in unity, that is called CIVILIZATION, but here, we want to hold on to issues of 60 yrs ago, 100yrs ago - Nobody or no country moves forward, looking at the REAR-Mirror.

[s][/s]dinachi:

Many of the Igbo political class also disagreed with Ojukwu hasty declaration of Biafra. Chief among them was the Owelle of Onitsha His Excellency Rt Hon Dr.Nnamdi Azikiwe. By 1969 when the war was still on he left and went to the side of Nigeria. Gowon immediately contacted him and his diplomacy and sagacity helped to save what was left when the curtain eventually collapsed on Biafra. So do not be surprised, I will never support idiocy even if an Igbo man is the one behind it.[s][/s]
