Why The Igbos Want Biafra And Yoruba/hausa Don't.. Personal Observation. by inlandtaipan: 6:05am On Oct 24, 2015
I have taken my time to ponder why the agitation for secession is whelming within Igbo's and not with yorubas/hauas and I have come to a conclusion that history has a part to play.

Yoruba's/hausas generally believe in monarchy system of ruling, From time immemorial, we have been hearing of Oyo empire, ijesha kingdom, ife kingdom from Yoruba land and sokoto caliphate, kano emirate etc from Hausa land. These kingdoms are a system where lot of villages submit to a particular ruler and pay homage to him, unlike in Igbo land, nobody wants to be ruled. The only king of a major town in Igbo land is obi of Onitsha and that's because Onitsha people adopt little Benin element and even obi of Onitsha doesn't lord over anybody.
In Yoruba land, you see oba of Lagos, ooni of ife, olu of Ibadan, deji of akure, awujale of ijebu, alake of egba etc, all the major towns in the north have emirs lording over them. You can never hear things like eze of awka, eze of Enugu, obi of nnewi, eze of aba, eze of port Harcourt or eze of umuahia.

What I'm trying to say? It is a habit for yorubas/Hausa to merge with any other body to form a single kingdom (Nigeria in this case). This monarchy system doesn't work in the East. An average yoruba man respects oba than the governor of the state, same as a hasua man will respect emir.
Take ijebu as an example, we have lots and lots of communities coming together to form one kingdom, same as other kingdoms in Yoruba and hasua land.

The coming together of a thing is also evident in the settlement pattern of the our villages, an average igbo settlement is in such a way that people build compounds away from each other, nobody wants to be lorded by anyone. But when you go to the north and west, they build close to each other and appoint a ruler, they are historically submissive.

This is a major factor firing the Biafra agitation and since its a culture in the east, i think no one can stop the agitation, we are different people. We don't do thing same way.

My friend don't generalise. Igbos don't want Biafra. It is only low lifers like you ånd ur likes that see Biafra as their only hope to end their misery. Nnamdi Kanu is only seizing d opportunity.

I'm not saying SE doesn't respect culture and tradition. Igbos don't believe in a system where one king will lord over a large landscape comprising different communities. The best you can get in igboland is a ruler of an "autonomous" community. The word autonomous is mostly used in the east sef.

1. New2020 is not Igbo but CR and he has said so repeatedly
2. You are not Igbo
3. Keep deluding yourself that Biafra is just a minority ppl wanting. If your government really believe so, let them do a referendum, let us see now. Why is your government more afraid of Biafra agigtator than boko haram?

Op stop fooling yourself. Those guys(Ibos) want Biafra just because their "son" Jonathan lost an election. During the campaign era(6months ago), the same ediots shouting Biafra today were the same ediots shouting "Gej till 2019 and after Jonathan is done, he will handle the mantle of leadership to a ibo man". Of course people can deceive themselves all they want, but hey, they can never deceive others.

They were the ones mocking and insulting other Nigerians when their "son" was still sitting on the seat of power, today that the clueless man from otuoke has been booted out, we started hearing a different rhythm from them. lolx

Igbos don't have kings. We run a system of ezes and on a normal, Eze is a leadership position by age. It does not have any form of royalty attached to it.

Initial onitsha were just settlers from old Benin empire , that's why they have obi of onitsha which was actually copied from "Oba of benin"

Do not deceive yourselves . I personally can say that here is no Eboe man that wants it more than me. However you do no get it by making noise or violence. How many of your elected representatives have moved or passed a motion to that effect. They are all greedy cowards.The truth is Eboes do no have a plan other than making noise


I have opened threads to hat effect yes let Eboes go but first do what you need to do following due process.For now you are acting like amateurs.

You have 5 State Houses of Assembly how many of them have ever DEBATED the matter? NONE!!!

So if your position is you will achieve it by force and not due process ,Fine !!Roll the dice and stop making noise.

But come to think of it....instead of arguing with you I would rather pity you.
If you are really Igbo as you claim...then it means you have never had anything to do with Yorubas and see the kind of ppl they really are.
All these their call on NL to annihilate the Igbos, you think it's just mere e:war.
Don't worry ppl like you we shall tame at the right time to avoid sabotage.
