It is frightening to see the amount of Igbo lives that were lost within this period of agitation for an independent Biafra

The fact that Igbos were still turning out in mass for the protests, even with the news of death and tragedies, is an indication that we are in need of direction, there is a void in the life of ndi Igbo that needs to be filled, LEADERSHIP

Kedu ihe bu nsogbu anyi? [what is our problem?]

All the major tribes in the country have their agendas, what is our agenda?

Even if we are rewarded with our own nation, ebenebe ga n'ebe.
The fabrics of our unity has been fractured by greed, onye agwana m, wickedness, ilo, and enwero direction

The culture and traditions of our people have been eroded by selfish interests by the very people who are meant to be the beacon of hope for us.

What of the education of our people?

Where are the institutions in place to promote our culture?
what message do we send out to the world about who we are?

We are fragmented within ourselves that an Anambra man will find it hard to give his first daughter to his brother from Nsukka, and Abakiliki, simply on the basis of where he is from, not minding his educational attainment, or personality

Nnamdi Kanu is filling a void that our leaders have failed to fill, so don't be too quick to dismiss his stance.
It is an insight into the mind and heart of an average Igbo man, his aspirations and dreams of an independent Igbo state, that is the pull of the current agitations

We need this void filled, not through violence definitely, but through leadership that builds a sense of pride of who we are

Ndu ndi Igbo di mkpa! ‪#‎igbolivesmatter‬ let us not shed it without reason.

The radio program that ignited this whole process shows us that through programs on media we can build our Igbo nation to be a strong and united body of people, who are highly talented and properly motivated to contribute to the development of the world

We must strive to preserve our language, culture, and traditions. We must rise above physical confrontations that will breed greater loss of Igbo lives #igbolivesmatter

The agitation must go on until we attain our rights within our nation Nigeria but we must eliminate schemes and actions that will expose more Igbo lives

Nobody likes to be a tenant forever, a times comes when everyone would like to build their own house. Somewhere they can call home. The Igbo man has felt like tenant in Nigeria for many years. Despite the so called "we are one Nigeria" "Nigeria is for us all" "we are first Nigeria before anything else". We are tired of Nigeria. Before Lugard came to bastardise us all with the name 'Nigeria' we all had our history and our sovereignty. The Yorubas were self Governing under the Oyo empire, the Hausa/Fulani were self Governing under the Sokoto caliphate. The Igbos were a very lose confederation of clans. It is interesting that these 3 major ethnic groups did not kill each other before Lugard, because they were not together. But since Lugard brought them together , they have killed each other in the millions. It's plane to see that all three groups should call it day and return to how they were before Lugard came, if there is to ever be peace

ORDINARILY I WOULDN'T REPLY THE OP, BUT THEN, I NEED TO EDUCATE YOU.
IGBOS LOVE EACH OTHERS, EXAMPLE... NNAMDI WAS LOCKED UP, IGBOS HAD THERE BUSINESS LOCKED UP JUST TO SEE HIM OUT, WHEN OLA FATAE WAS KIDNAPPED WHY DIDN'T THEY PROTEST FULANIS INVASION OF THEIR FARMS.
IGBOS HELP EACH OTHER IN BUSINESS, WHICH TRIBE OFFER SUCH HELP BETTER?

DISCRIMINATION IS A PRODUCT OF CLASS, EITHER POLITICALLY, SOCIALLY, FINANCIALLY, EDUCTIONALLY AND SO ON, IS FOUND IN EVERY SOCIETY IRRESTECTIVE OF COLOUR, CLAN OR TRIBE.
AS REGARD TO ANAMBRA NOT MARRYING EBONYI, PLEASE WAKE UP... IGBOS MARRY EVEN HAUSAS, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THIS, IF YOU DON'T BELONG TO THE SAME SOCIAL CLASS,BET ME YOU WILL FACE DISCRIMINATION ANY PLACE IN THIS WORLD.
