And the question is, who is holding u guys? Ijaws, yorubas, deltans or Hausas?
Have your elected governors, senators or house of rep members ever talked about seccesion or Biafra?

We shall get to the part when our elected officials speak about biafra. Be patient so High BP will not kill you before we get to that part.

We have done it in several ways, (action speaks louder than words....) by investing in other region without looking back, but what did we get back in return, hate and envy. If you are in our shoe nko. What will you do?

The problem with you igbos is nothing but greed.
Nobody begged you to come and invest in their lands.
Your extremely greedy and capitalistc nature has made your land so competitive and hostile, chasing away settlers, strangers, visitors and even you yourselves.

And ret. Gen ihejerika is from where. No one screamed when he was CDs na. Its another persons turn jare

Masterclass32:
Ohaneze Ndigbo has declared that the people
of the South East are no longer comfortable
being part of Nigeria due to their perceived
marginalisation by the present Federal
Government. Addressing Igbo leaders during an
interactive forum in Lagos, the President-
General of the socio-political Igbo
organisation, Nnia Nwodo, lamented that
nobody from the South East was heading any
security agency in the country.

Nwodo claimed that the Federal Government
does not trust Igbo to the extent of
appointing any of them to head any of the
security agencies or the paramilitary bodies. According to Nwodo, “We don’t feel that
we are part of this country. The statement I
made earlier was not my thinking alone.
Every part of that statement was scrutinised
line by line by members of the Ohanaeze
executive and we agreed this was the situation before it was issued. “How can we be comfortable in a country
where no Igbo man is heading any of the
security services in this country? Not the
Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force, Police,
Customs Service (NCS), Immigrations,
National Intelligence Agency (NIA), State Security Services (SSS), Federal Road Safety
Corps and the Nigeria Security and Civil De­
fence Corps (NSCDC). “The impression we have been given is
that we are not trusted enough to be put as
the head of any security agency.

“Now, if you drive to the South East, we
are like a conquered people. In every major
town you go into, there is a military
checkpoint. They call it Operation Python
Dance. “If they screen you for arms and
ammunition, I will understand that it is
national security imperative. But they collect
money from you. We are forced to pay. “Between Enugu and Onitsha, there are 17
police checkpoints that I enumerated on one
trip. There are police checkpoints, some
police and army combined. The commercial
vehicle drivers drop the money on the
ground. “They do not care whether the Inspector-
General of Police is coming in an on-coming
vehicle or that they are being photographed.
It does not happen anywhere else in this
country. And nobody cares.

“I said it at the 82 Division and I was
arrested. I have said that at every public
forum anytime I have the opportunity, I will
keep harping on this.”

Well, until then, can u guys allow us some fresh air?
Until we see that, nobody will ever take you guys serious.

Why don't u guys have your own political party that will butress your own interests nationally and make all your leaders have one voice?

Nigeria was built on a tripod of of Igbo, Hausa/Fulani and Yorubas...Igbo have 40 million strong population...So if they are not represented in the security formation..then there is reason for concern... and suspicion....No only that...Igbos have contributed much to the nation than any other tribe...

Ohanaeze I cannot take serious. They are part of the elites, they are only whipping up the sentiments of the Igbo grass roots to force the FG into giving them and their family members and cronies their own share of the national cake.

Once they are settled, they will become preachers of One Nigeria and would betray the Biafran movement of the Igbo grassroots.

I'm still observing Nnia Nwodo, time will unravel all things, but somewhere deep in my heart, I pray seriously that he is not the voice of the currently sidelined Igbo One Nigerian worshiping elites who only remember the struggle of the Igbo grassroots when their own share of the National cake is not flowing.

what tripod are you talking about... Do you mean to say zones or tribes!!! Use your words carefully because if you go by tribe then who do you define as Hausa/ Fulani and where would you put a Tiv,nupe igala ,ngas ,bachama ,kwale obubra etc

This can help you

"...This immense country NIGERIA, is artificial, a forced union of three major and hundreds of minor ethnic groups
speaking different languages, observing different legal codes and loyal to different tribal groups.
Nigeria’s cure will start when the ahistorical boundary cavalierly drawn on a map by
Britain’s colonial masters dissolves. The more coherent constituent nations to
merge — composed largely of the Igbo in the southeast, the Yoruba in the southwest and the Hausa
and Fulani in the north — would be less burdened by the many rivalries that now hobble
the central government, and better positioned to govern themselves...." (FINANCIAL POST)

You are not a wise person.
Since when has investing outside one's region translate to greed? Are you mentally retarded or what?

Igboland is doing well in the private sector aspect. Our region is competitive but yet productive and no settler, stranger or visitor had been chased out of the region because of hostility.
The share volume of bank monetary transactions that take place in the region, paints a picture of a very vibrant private/public sector.
The region only lacks FG presence which was a deliberate Post civil war policy of the FG, which they had stuck with even unto this day.
But everything eventually die including this current state of things Ndiigbo are facing in Nigeria, it's a matter of when, not if.

aloziedaya:
The Igbo's are the only tribe in Nigeria that believe in 'one Nigeria' and that is where their problem lies. If you are dealing with a Hausa man, he first thinks of his religion and ethnicity, a Yoruba man thinks of his ethnicity first but an Igbo man thinks of one Nigeria. If you come to the east you hardly see any structure built by a Hausa man or Yoruba but, travel all over Nigeria the Igbo's are developing them bearing in mind the 'one Nigeria' syndrome.
The Igbo man's quest for wealth has robbed him of his sense of belonging. That is why they develop other cities while theirs lay bare. Lagos today is developed by the igbos. Imagine what would happen if the igbo businesses in Lagos are in the east. Every major market in Lagos is dominated by them; ALABA INTERNATIONAL, TRADEFAIR, COMPUTER VILLAGE, LADIPO AUTO MARKET, BERGER AUTO MARKET, IDUMOTA etc. These are the backbone of Lagos state. They'll tell you that the seaport is in Lagos but, the largest motorcycle spare parts market in Africa is in Nnewi and, it is striving without any seaport in the east.
Have you imagined what would have happened if these markets are dominated by the hausas? Or the Yorubas dominating these markets in another state? Of course they would have transfered them to their areas.
Igbo's need to rethink and realize their mistakes. Develop your own. If you make billions in lagos and the billions are still reinvested in Lagos, you've not made anything. Aku ruo ulo amara onye nwe ya. Igboland will develop when we make wealth outside and send it home. The houses you build in Lagos because of the appreciation rate of Lagos can be built equally in the east to boost the appreciation rate there. Lagos is appreciating because you've developed it, do same down home.
Politically, Igbo's are marginalized because they are seen as divided people who cannot come together with one voice.


There goes that silly nonsense rant again! You developed Lagos? What narcissistic balderdash! That is the same way you developed Kano, PH and Abuja...yet for some strange spiritual reason, you can't find the will to develop your region, it is called madness brah, collective madness!
