If Igbos are not great, Nigerians would have happily allowed the Igbos go. The only reason Igbos are not allowed to peacefully go is because their absence will bring poverty to some people and regions in Nigeria. 16 Likes |

Nigeria can only be better only if tribalism is dealt with completely of which am not seeing it happening soon. The so called "leaders of tomorrow" have already showed us that they are not fit to rule this nation in equity and fairness but chose to use every opportunity to get back at any tribe they hate but they will still be blaming the government for the mass corruption in the country with paying attention to their own contribution through their uncivilised comment and lack of understanding.

This is quite disturbing How does it concern a Yoruba man that an Igbo man beats his chest Even the Bini lying to the West of Igboland don't give a hoot about what the Igbo does so I wonder how it concerns the Yoruba what the Igbo who are not even their neighbors do 4 Likes |
