[b]Nigeria MUST NOT let the Igbos leave this union
I have tried to measure the contribution of the Igbos to the development of the Nigerian project and the conclusion I have reached is that Nigeria must do everything possible to get the Igbos to remain in the Nigerian union. They (Igbos) have contributed unprecedentedly to the development of Nigeria in EVERY sector. The Igbos are an exceptional Nigerian race; they are born entrepreneurs, geniuses, capitalists, industrialists, academics, adventurists and you name it. A Nigeria without these set of people and their drive for economic success might be boring and uninteresting.

Industrial Spirit: The Igbos are probably the only tribe that has built several indigenous industrial estates in Nigeria. In 1997, an Igbo engineer by the name Ezekiel Izuogu produced Nigeria’s first indigenous prototype car in Imo State. Africa was excited by his ingenuity. However, due to financial constraint and dirty Nigerian politics, the Izuogu Z-600 car model could not hit the Nigerian market in mass produce. His workshop was later vandalized and his efforts destroyed. The dream died. Few decades later another Igbo by the name Innocent Chukwuma launched his Innoson cars, making him the first indigenous car producer in and from Nigeria. Anambra and Enugu alone has over six indigenous estates. By indigenous I mean industrial estates built by indigenes and with little or no government support. Nigeria’s first indigenous car is made in one of those estates- Nnewi precisely. The industrial estates are a host to several indigenous manufacturing companies. One of those estates houses one of the biggest plastic manufacturing plants in Africa. You will be shocked to see what the Igbos are producing in their indigenous industrial estates. It will not be wrong to say that Igbos are driving the indigenous manufacturing sector of the Nigerian economy with little or no government patronage. The first indigenous Nigerian company to produce Nigeria’s first internationally certified branded computers - Zinox is Igbo by the name Stanley Nnamdi Ekeh from Imo State. The Igbos dominate the electronics market and have built series of what they call ‘computer village’ across Nigeria. Nigeria’s leading pharmaceutical companies are Igbo owned; Emzor, Juhel, Orange, Rico, etc. Anabel Mobile is the first indigenous Nigerian phone manufacturer; Igbo. There are several countless industrial breakthroughs the Igbos have made for Nigeria that I cannot go on to list here.


On Trade: The Igbos are the most successful traders not just in Nigeria but possibly around the world. Across Nigerian cities they not just control various markets, they equally dominate certain industries. In Kano, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, and many more Nigerian cities, the Igbos not only dominate the markets, they control certain sectors of the trade business. They are synonymous with the phrase ‘importer’. Their natural drive towards capitalism has driven them across the globe in search for opportunities. There is barely any country in the world where there is no Igbo man doing one legitimate or illegitimate business. The Igbos have proven to the rest of Nigeria that beyond reasonable doubt they are not a lazy people.


In Literature: The father of modern African Literature is an Igbo man by the name Chinua Achebe. His work titled ‘Things Fall Apart” has remained one of Africa’s most read book which brought international attention to Nigerian literature. Chinua Achebe remains an inspiration to most African writers. Nigeria gets the glory.

In Politics: The Igbos are the first and only tribe in Nigeria to have successfully coordinated and executed Nigeria’s first and only political revolution; other military revolutions (coup) that followed were merely revenge and hunger for military political power. In 1966, a group of senior Igbo officers executed Nigeria’s first set of corrupt politicians in a bloody coup. Although their plan was to install an imprisoned opposition leader by the name Obafemi Awolowo as president, unfortunately the coup was altered by another senior Igbo officer by the name Aguiyi Ironsi who not only distorted the plans but ended up making himself a military ruler and at the same time ended Nigeria’s federalism by decreeing unitarism. The Igbos laid the foundation for political revolutions in Nigeria. And they have paid dearĺy for that move. Today, they are demanding for an independent nation. The Igbos like to fight for what they believe in and they always do damn the consequences.


The Igbos control a fair share of the oil & gas servicing industry in Nigeria. The biggest indigenous oil servicing contractor in Nigeria today is Igbo owned. The first indigenous and independently (without government funding) owned gas power plant is built by an Igbo in Aba – Geometric Power Limited. From haulage to logistics to procurement to real estate, finance, sports, entertainment, manufacturing, engineering to medicine, science and you name it. The Igbos have made Nigeria proud; locally and internationally. The Igbos might be arrogant and even exploitative in their quest for profit and expansionism yet Nigeria cannot afford to lose them. They technically control the formal and informal sector of Nigerian economy and they are everywhere, with or without political patronage, they are making progress. I was shocked to find out sometime last year that Igbos still engage in rural-riverine-onshore trading across the remotest villages of the Niger Delta. At this remote village near the Atlantic ocean in Bayelsa State that is only accessible by water and air, these Igbos designed a floating market. They bring in their goods, dock their big boats once in two weeks, make sales and move to another village along that dangerous terrain. A business idea the indigenes of that area have not considered venturing into. The Igbos are risk takers!


In this community where I have stayed for the past few months here in Anambra state, the number of modern houses (duplexes) in this non-industrial, non-commercial small Igbo village is higher than any I have seen in all the oil communities I have visited in the Niger Delta put together. The Igbos are that successful and they always do remember home.


The Igbo influence in the Roman Catholic Church worldwide is amazing. An Igbo by the name Cardinal Arinze was once rumored to become the first black Pope! The Igbos have a strong affinity with the Roman Catholic Church and they have made a mark globally.
Anybody who think the Igbos cannot survive as an independent nation might need to have a rethink. Just less than four decades after they were defeated in a bloody civil war and denied their property and work space across Nigeria, the Igbos have risen to produce one of the highest number of billionaires, entreprenuers, industrialists, etc in Nigeria. They have risen from being a defeated tribe to become the dominating factor of Nigeria’s economy. They have built indigenous industrial cities, turned out to be the most literate people in Nigeria, dominated several industries and have made Nigeria proud in the world scene. If a people can rise to achieve these with little or no government support, one can only imagine what they will become as a republic of Biafra.

Enugu has sufficient coal to power the coal need of an industrial country. Anambra, Abia and Imo states have abundant reserve of crude oil and natural gas. They also have access to the sea through the Imo and Niger river. Anambra has three commercial and industrial cities concentrating on manufacturing and trade. Ebonyi is the agriculture base of Igbo land; producing rice, salt, and other farm produce. Abia has Aba and over 100 untapped oil wells with series of indigenous manufacturing firms.

In contemporary politics, the Igbo states have managed to stay afloat and sustain recurrent and capital expenditure even when major oil producing states are already endangered. Anambra, Enugu and other Igbo states have proven that there is an economy beyond federal allocations and free oil money. They have scored high in security, education, health care, job creation, entrepreneurship, sports, trade, etc.
Many people have argued that the Igbos would lose their investment across Nigeria if Biafra happens. This is an archaic and primitive way of thinking. An independent Biafran nation will not alter any Igbo socio-economic relationship with the outside world, Nigeria inclusive. An independent Biafran nation will not stop Innoson vehicles from been sold in Nigerian market. It will not stop Juhel pharmarcy products from been sold in Nigerian market. A new Biafran nation will not stop any Igbo man from being a landlord in Abuja, Kano or Port Harcourt. It will not stop an Hausa man from still trading at Onitsha. An independent Biafran will only give the Igbos a political status in the world order which will in turn further stimulate the orientation of profit repatriation, sustainability, economic diversification and the need to further develop homelands and eradicate the perception of federal neocolonialism by the skewed federal government of Nigeria. An independent Biafran Nation has the potential of becoming the Japan of Africa.

The Igbos want autonomy and control of their life without feeling been marginalized and oppressed. Nigeria can give them this sense of autonomy without necessarily losing them. This is the direction every sensible federal leader should be looking at. How do we satisfy the desire for autonomy by the Igbos and other Nigerian tribes without necessarily losing them as members of Nigeria? This is where true federalism comes in.


True federalism will not only give the Igbos the sense of autonomy but will equally position them to further drive the national economy through healthy competition and regional integration. True Federalism will enhance the possibility of Igbo land becoming the Japan of Nigeria. It is possible.


Nigeria has a choice to restructure or let the Igbos go. If the Federal government does not make this choice right, the Igbos will make it for themselves and Nigeria will be the loser.


The determination of the Igbos towards their sovereign nation should not be undermined by the federal government of Nigeria. I believe boundaries should be destroyed and not further created in our time, this is why I believe in restructure rather than secession. The Igbos have nothing to lose with their secession agenda, it is Nigeria that will lose. This is why Nigeria should now be proffering solutions and not fuelling the agitation.

I believe the Igbos will be better positioned under a restructured Nigeria.
I do not believe in secession as a solution even though I respect their right to secession.
I believe true federalism will fix Nigeria and give the Igbos their desired autonomy while remaining as Nigerians. I believe we all have a choice to make true federalism happen ASAP before Nigeria gets to its elastic point.


Again I repeat, Nigeria must not let the Igbos leave the Nigerian union.[/b]

Who are you,what contribution, what region are you from exactly?

Why not let them go abeg. Is it by force, must you force them to remain with you, can't you stand alone without yeeboo?

Abeg, eegboo I wish una all the best you can go

Multiple untapped oil wells in Aba/Abia...I Agree with u on that I've seen many but TA orji nah Mumu...him for use those wells make more money and develop Abia...is jst that those wells are almost in Ngwa who never liked him and Orji Uzo kalu...the funny part of it all is that most of this wells belong to people that have no interest nor know its value but they are ready to kill u if u near their land...hmmm Biafra is gonna make sense

Nigeria wasnt created by God, but by human, the british came, Then they joined people from different background, different culture, and called them nigerians, igbos are not yorubas,, just the way housas are neither yorubas nor igbos, , how do you expect them to live in harmony,
Every tribe has something which it has to present to the nations well being,
Just like a married couple, living together when they arent compartible is not the wise option,

Another Long useless thread. If igbos can take Nigeria this far??/ Why is SE still were it is today If you take Nigeria to this level, SE states should be like dubai by now. mstw Wow the first coup You happy about that That must be a great achievement to you peeps Your leaders actions brought us to the mess we re today? Finally Igbos re not relevant in politics

An okada man who is an igbo man was to take me from omisanjana street to odo-ado street Ado-Ekiti. unfortunately his okada broke down along the way-little away from the road that leads to ekute quarters. We got down from the okada n i told him to let us take it to a nearby okada mechanic. His responce was shocking to me. He said he would take his okada to his igbo brother, a mechanic. I asked him where? He said a little far from here. I asked him how? He said he would wave to other okada men (majorly yorubas ) to tow him down to the place. I was like WTF! going through all these when an okada mechanic is over there. i asked him what is wrong with the (yoruba) mechanic over there? He laughed n said nothing is wrong with him just that he likes his igbo brothers (if he had said that d yoruba mechanic is not good enough, i would have reason with him). i left very disappointed at dis particular igbo man. This incident makes me take a closer look at the behaviour of our self proclaimed marginalized brothers.

From an average igbo man perspective, the yorubas are jelouse of them, hausas hate dem, the middle belt people dislike them, the Edos detest dem. All they could see is dat they are hated by other tribes but never think that something might be wrong wit dem if truly the whole nigeria except an igbo hates the igbo man. Even their so called partners (the south southerners) are dissociating demselves from u guys. d question is: who is d problem?

I dont know about any other tribe, but i must confess to u guys dat we the yorubas love you.we've always do and we will forever love you. in yoruba land, many of ur children attended UI, OAU, FUTA, UNILAG,EKSU etc contested for political posts, from departmental to faculty to SUG level and in some occasions, won. Most of the Pioneer top university officials of FUOYE are igbos- starting from the VC Professor Chinedu Nebo.
The current chairman of my street is an igbo man. He was also the former Secretary/accountant/treasurer. Igbos in one way or another are represented in one social-political-association key positions in d SW. They are even voted into state house of assemblies, as senators and honourables to represent d yorubas at d federal level. They even enjoy chieftaincy titles.

The most annoying fact is dat most of these things enjoyed by them in d SW are not reciprocated to d yorubas in d SE. I can bet all i have dat no yoruba man is near to d post of a street chairman (except of course he is very rich) talkless of political post in d SE. "Dey never born d yoruba man wey go think to contest for d post of an ordinary counselor talkless of a whole senator. Even in their accademic institutions as a student; to contest na dont even try am." as said by a friend based in Onisha. My question is who is marginalizing who?

Once upon a time in d political history of this country, igbos were a major force to reckon wit. They were vibrant and popular in major sectors including the nigerian military. In fact d firt coup in dis country was carried out by the igbos. But now, they claimed to have been marginalized political, socially even from the civil service. d thing is, what change? Democracy came in. There is no more have it by force. U have to be popular to have it now.
One thing i want my igbo brothers to understand is dat Nigeria is a multi-ethnic country. You guys are 18%, yorubas 21% and d hausas 30%. Others made up d remaining 31%. 18% cant vote out 82% . Dis is democracy for crying out loud-majority carry d vote. You guys should form alliances wit other tribes. If u detest d yorubas dat much, form a formidable partnership with d middle belt who to a reasonable extent repel d hausas influence. Partner wit d Edo people and superglue ur cracked relationship wit d urobos, ibibios and other tribes in the SS. you can even challenge for d minorities in d north e.g the hausa-christians. Jonathan was voted in with a landslide. Oga buari has been consistently contesting for d presidential seat since 101BC. Even when d whole almajiris voted for him under d flagship of CPC. Jona defeated him hands down. his dream came true after he formed a good alliance with d SW. So wetin b una excuse? Rochas is doing his best to make dis happen under the flagship of APC; he suddenly became the public enemy no.1 of the igbos. My question is how will an igbo man become president if you dont want anything to with d hausas, yorubas, tivs, igbiras, igalas,Edos etc?

To d best of my knowledge, i think you-d igbos are d people marginalizing yourselves from this country and not the other way round.

lastly, please leave out d yorubas from ur socio-political problems. Yorubas are also a minority like you in dis country.we are just 21%. we are dis big because we are smart enough to open our eyes vividly to see real things and not fictions so as to adjust our default settings to solutions to our reality at every fucking time.
I beleive you urselves know dat dat d best ethnic group for u in dis country is d yorubas. And i am very sure dat all of una love us-una just dey pretend so say d opposite. It is the two us of dat can co-exist d best in dis country. So make all of una stop the hypocrisy ooooooo. Jst my observations.

This guy above tho

MayorofLagos:
.

Tribal warrior, I couldn't find where the guy was trading blames with Yorubas in that essay. .

Stop this your childishness and go back to the post, read, digest and comment again..

Don't allow yourself to be rolling and drenching the floor with children here...
You should be mature enough to comprehend that Igbos and Yorubas share good relationship in the real world and never take NL tribal conquests seriously. .

We don't need your love.

@Mayoroflagos
The relationship between Ibo and Yoruba is akin to that between seemingly antagonistic couple that welcome new baby every other year. Fondness often manifest in form of antagonism. After all, why will I bother about insulting or abusing you if I have not taken a notice of you.

Biafra Nation coming soon

pls I am willing to pay for their bus fares

Chimarto:
Biafra Nation coming soon

Dream on

Wrong analysis! Yorubas do not have relationship with Ibos, we have a relationship with Nigeria, and is not contractual.

Yoruba history did not start with 1960 independence of Nigeria or 1914 amalgamation of North and South or 1906 amalgamation of South or 1845 colonization of Lagos....our history predated these political date markers.

In Yoruba history, who were the constituted allies and sister nations that we co-habited, co-located and co-exchanged with? There are many, and they still exist. Ibo is not one of them. If it was not for Nigeria you will remain an unknown people to us. So it is by virtue of the sovereingty of Nigeria that we cohabit and accomodate you and no contract is binding on us to honor your presence, not even the constitution.

Political wisdom and the Yoruba philosophy is your benevolence. This is the truth!

.

Like Pastor Eunice the yoruba preacher. May the blood of one nigerianists be used to water the seeds of the fake unity in the hands of the hausa and fulanis that they want to swim and sink with in' one nigeria'. Amen!

All this hype on ibo and biafra, hope it won't be a regrettable venture if eventually granted.
Just as in present situation with s. Sudan and bubu

Let me tell you my own little encounter with a yoruba man.

I graduated with a second class upper from FUTO Elect/Elect. and was redeployed from katsina to aba to complete my NYSC.

My AI and CDS president called me one faithful day we had a CDS meeting that they have been searching for me and am about to miss a golden opportunity.

I was surprised when they told me a letter came from Guinness and they need a second class upper electrical candidate who will replace the outgoing electrical engineer.

Innocent me smiling being the most happy human that day of my dream finally coming to pass to get a job before finishing my service.

I rushed as a matter of urgency from my AI saying I should head there immediately.

To reduce the story, I was interviewed by the electrical engineer who told me he is about to be transfered and the company need replacement which must be approved by him. He gave me a run-down of his salary package and with the way I answered his questions upto my project level, I was sure to get the job.

After a week my CDS president who happens to be a yoruba guy asked me when I am to start the job, that since am an Abia indigene, the job is mine.

After telling him I have not heard from them after the interview, he gave me the number of another yoruba corps member who was also working in the same section to inquire about the development from him.

It was this corps member that told me the man I am about to replace will not allow an igbo man to be there. He is looking for a yoruba guy and had it been he studied electrical, he would have been given the spot immediately. The man would rather stall his transfer until he gets a yoruba to replace him.

Same thing has been happening to igbos across Nigeria.

Is this part of the hatred igbos have against the yorubas your trying to portray?

An average igbo man does not care whether yorubas or hausas are existing as long as their daily endeavors put food on their table and business is good.

I have watched this forum for sometime now and in almost all the threads having biafra in it, you will find the yorubas saying they will seize all igbo properties in the SW, have you read anybody saying he will seize all yoruba properties in the SE? I guess not cause they don't give a damn about it, Or do you think yorubas don't have investments in the SE as well?

If you have a yoruba elder of upto 65 years who may not have dementia within your area, ask him about the igbos and he will tell you how peace loving and friendly they are.

To you my friend, look deep within yourself, your surroundings and your yoruba brothers and ask if your the one that hate igbos or igbos that hate you.

The hatred for igbos I believe comes from the fact that they are always good in whatever they do or venture in other things being equal, take it or leave it.
That's where the jealousy sets in. U might be doing same business with an igbo man and you both live in same building and you will be using your money for God knows what while he is busy building his house somewhere without your knowledge. And when you discover it, you develop hatred for him automatically.

I have see yorubas hating an igbo man for furnishing his house with expensive upholstery, a plasma TV to name a few because they didn't see it coming.

If only history will be true to us, I will bet you that the first block house in Nigeria owned by an individual is an igbo man.

If only every region will be true to themselves and leave pride out of it, it is the igbos that brought almost all the ideas and initiatives with which every Nigerian is utilizing.

Lastly I don't believe there's any successful man in Nigeria who's wealth will not be directly or indirectly linked to an igbo.

MayorofLagos:
An okada man who is an igbo man was to take me from omisanjana street to odo-ado street Ado-Ekiti. unfortunately his okada broke down along the way-little away from the road that leads to ekute quarters. We got down from the okada n i told him to let us take it to a nearby okada mechanic. His responce was shocking to me. He said he would take his okada to his igbo brother, a mechanic. I asked him where? He said a little far from here. I asked him how? He said he would wave to other okada men (majorly yorubas ) to tow him down to the place. I was like WTF! going through all these when an okada mechanic is over there. i asked him what is wrong with the (yoruba) mechanic over there? He laughed n said nothing is wrong with him just that he likes his igbo brothers (if he had said that d yoruba mechanic is not good enough, i would have reason with him). i left very disappointed at dis particular igbo man. This incident makes me take a closer look at the behaviour of our self proclaimed marginalized brothers.

From an average igbo man perspective, the yorubas are jelouse of them, hausas hate dem, the middle belt people dislike them, the Edos detest dem. All they could see is dat they are hated by other tribes but never think that something might be wrong wit dem if truly the whole nigeria except an igbo hates the igbo man. Even their so called partners (the south southerners) are dissociating demselves from u guys. d question is: who is d problem?

I dont know about any other tribe, but i must confess to u guys dat we the yorubas love you.we've always do and we will forever love you. in yoruba land, many of ur children attended UI, OAU, FUTA, UNILAG,EKSU etc contested for political posts, from departmental to faculty to SUG level and in some occasions, won. Most of the Pioneer top university officials of FUOYE are igbos- starting from the VC Professor Chinedu Nebo.
The current chairman of my street is an igbo man. He was also the former Secretary/accountant/treasurer. Igbos in one way or another are represented in one social-political-association key positions in d SW. They are even voted into state house of assemblies, as senators and honourables to represent d yorubas at d federal level. They even enjoy chieftaincy titles.

The most annoying fact is dat most of these things enjoyed by them in d SW are not reciprocated to d yorubas in d SE. I can bet all i have dat no yoruba man is near to d post of a street chairman (except of course he is very rich) talkless of political post in d SE. "Dey never born d yoruba man wey go think to contest for d post of an ordinary counselor talkless of a whole senator. Even in their accademic institutions as a student; to contest na dont even try am." as said by a friend based in Onisha. My question is who is marginalizing who?

Once upon a time in d political history of this country, igbos were a major force to reckon wit. They were vibrant and popular in major sectors including the nigerian military. In fact d firt coup in dis country was carried out by the igbos. But now, they claimed to have been marginalized political, socially even from the civil service. d thing is, what change? Democracy came in. There is no more have it by force. U have to be popular to have it now.
One thing i want my igbo brothers to understand is dat Nigeria is a multi-ethnic country. You guys are 18%, yorubas 21% and d hausas 30%. Others made up d remaining 31%. 18% cant vote out 82% . Dis is democracy for crying out loud-majority carry d vote. You guys should form alliances wit other tribes. If u detest d yorubas dat much, form a formidable partnership with d middle belt who to a reasonable extent repel d hausas influence. Partner wit d Edo people and superglue ur cracked relationship wit d urobos, ibibios and other tribes in the SS. you can even challenge for d minorities in d north e.g the hausa-christians. Jonathan was voted in with a landslide. Oga buari has been consistently contesting for d presidential seat since 101BC. Even when d whole almajiris voted for him under d flagship of CPC. Jona defeated him hands down. his dream came true after he formed a good alliance with d SW. So wetin b una excuse? Rochas is doing his best to make dis happen under the flagship of APC; he suddenly became the public enemy no.1 of the igbos. My question is how will an igbo man become president if you dont want anything to with d hausas, yorubas, tivs, igbiras, igalas,Edos etc?

To d best of my knowledge, i think you-d igbos are d people marginalizing yourselves from this country and not the other way round.

lastly, please leave out d yorubas from ur socio-political problems. Yorubas are also a minority like you in dis country.we are just 21%. we are dis big because we are smart enough to open our eyes vividly to see real things and not fictions so as to adjust our default settings to solutions to our reality at every fucking time.
I beleive you urselves know dat dat d best ethnic group for u in dis country is d yorubas. And i am very sure dat all of una love us-una just dey pretend so say d opposite. It is the two us of dat can co-exist d best in dis country. So make all of una stop the hypocrisy ooooooo. Jst my observations.

I asked one of my former colleague..okuwatobi ... I asked him why do Yoruba hate igbo

Do you know what he said ...
He said that they hate igbo because they bring in their brother in business and show them the way .To Gid who made me I was surprised

This Tobi so snitched on me ..later he commuted fraud and was finally a fugitive

The company is searching for him

if Nigeria can but in the same 2 billion dollars allocated for searching of oil in lake chad in the north eastto also seasearch for oil in the southeast the amount of oil I beleive that wud be discovered there wud shock sm ppl.

alade112:
[s]Another Long useless thread. If igbos can take Nigeria this far??/ Why is SE still were it is today If you take Nigeria to this level, SE states should be like dubai by now. mstw Wow the first coup You happy about that That must be a great achievement to you peeps Your leaders actions brought us to the mess we re today? Finally Igbos re not relevant in politics[/s]

Another sorryazz yoruba man...the mention of Igbo strength drives the envy and evil in them as if Igbos are their mate. IGBOS...stay away from this people. They envy you because can't be like you.

For goodness sack 'let my people go!!' I can't believe Nigeria has managed to go on this long. It's a failed British experiment, we cannot get along our cultures are so different, academically we are different time for us to go separate ways. Why keep people in a country they don't want to be part of?

lack of grey matter

hmmmmm i was forced to comment even against my initial intention, hence some questions...




we heard it dat many states across d nation are owing dia workers for months ( both d Easterners n westerners), which of dis regions have begged for food?

in yoruba, many churches n NGOs hv bin giving food, cloths, cash etc to government workers to sustain dem while d reverse is d case in d east even wen dey were equally owed as d westerners.

because, a typical igbo will and always want to invest every kobo he earn for profit n de can survive evn wen d government is nt paying.

but d yorubas trows parties up n down for a little event without a rethink of d value of cash @ hand in d nearest future or maybe investment never run in dia system, wia dia, it was tru engagement of an igbo.




if d igbos r nt contributing any tin to d country, why stil holding from succeeding?

stop decieving urselves n come to roundtable for true federalism......................
