WRITING about the needs of the Igbos or Igbo aspirations, whether in terms of what would make the Igbos happy (or unhappy), is not a difficult thing in any manner. For practically all the issues are already in the public domain, and repeated one way or the other almost every day. What, perhaps, the Nigerian or international community needs to know are the essential details of these issues, whose appreciation ought to assist their resolution to a reasonable level of satisfaction.

The Igbos being a major, albeit presently sidelined stakeholder in the Nigeria project, a proper and just resolution of the Igbo question can help the country achieve the desired peace, unity and progress, and advance beyond the almost anomic conditions of state-centrism, into an actual process of modern nation-statehood. Of course, every Igboman knows that they have a big problem in the country, especially after the Nigeria-Biafra war, but they differ in the solutions proposed, and this is why some Nigerians seem also confused.

The major Igbo positions are as follows: First in the list of solutions are the Igbo Biafrans. This group is made up essentially of Igbo youths born during and after the civil war. Both the educated and uneducated, the rich and poor in this group want (and need) Biafra and, they want it now.
Biafra will enable them organise a hardworking and meritocratic modern society of their dreams, the very type of society that Nigerian rulers are not interested in, and have actually been fighting against since 1966.

One of the reasons that many mockingly ask to know what the Igbos want or why there is anger in Igboland, is likely to be that they do not believe or understand the special circumstances of this group, and instead accept what they hear from all sorts of Igbo elite as the real “demand” of the Igbos, the most notable being the six zonal restructuring that has little or nothing to do with the wellbeing of the Igbo new generation. Angered generation:

Thus, the quest for Biafra, while almost universally legitimate to the Igbo mind, the post-war generation entertains no other alternative, and has no desire to wait till eternity for Nigeria to become a civilised and just society treating everyone equally.

This generation is angered when they hear or read stories of the military revenge, pogroms, genocide, the post-war ethnic cleansings, and financial, economic, political and security atrocities committed in Igboland and against their parents by people called Nigerians. Some of their parents were killed, siblings died of bombs and starvation, and they themselves were denied schools admissions, jobs, promotions and contracts because they were Igbos.

Many nevertheless managed to be educated but unemployed; some have been led into crimes, serving other tribes as sex-slaves and house helps, and a number are in foreign jails, executed in Asia, drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, risking their lives selling petty goods on dangerous streets and highways, in desperation joining cultic, kidnap and robbery gangs – and all other lazy things despised in Igbo traditions. They have tried, tested and tasted the country, and find no hope in a truly changed Nigeria.

They have also watched to find any remorse from those perpetrators still parading as patriotic Nigerians and heroes, or a prosecution for the war and other crimes that consumed almost four million Igbos and other Easterners, but found none, except threats, triumphalism, and boasts of yet more to come, and justifications of the ones already committed.

By whatever means, preferably peaceful, this group believes in the Biafra to come. The young men and women are being slaughtered by groups of the Nigerian armed and security forces, some buried alive, others jailed unlawfully or missing, even though they carry no weapons, destroy nothing except what are faked in their name, and are operating strictly constitutionally.
Like between 1966 and 1970 – please, see Max Siollun’s (2009) Oil, politics and violence – these enemies of progress and civilisation, armed for all the wrong reasons, compete among each other over who would kill more Igbos – all, in the full view of Nigerians. To be continued

To summarize, Igbo does not appreciate the discriminative politics that does not recognize their contributions but treat them as Osus in Nigeria, correct?

try and generate heat needed to circulate blood in your clotted brain .

Majority of them do not want Buhari to be their President as they've perceived him to be a man of unquestionable character that will take stringent stance against their livelihood.

If not, where have they been all this while?
Have they just woke up from their slumber after Jonathan's lost? They should save those stories for those in diaspora.

From onset they've never supported this man and after the election it became worse. And we all knew that they are not ready to support him even in the future because of his proven dispositions against illegalities.

My advice for them is to juru'nwayo till the end of his regime.

Igbo had a sovereingty in 1914?
They had a freedom?

We want to hear Ibo Osus to come and talk about Ibo freedom.

Nigerianz fail to realise dat the yung ibo generation is determined to get freedom by anymeans possible..The day ibos will carry arms will be de day nigeria ad de world will take dem serious.
When war starts joblessness ad hunger will teach de likes of aufbah ad imperial yoruba a big lesson den dey will learn to appreciate ibos.

They don't want to see Biafra come alive because they fear our potentials, they know we will build a country as beautiful as Dubai and we will be greater than Nigeria itself ever was.
Na we be the key to successful business.
Quote me all you want, we all know the truth is bitter.

One problem with Yorubas is that they think their loudness is the only way to win Argument. There are Yorubas who are slaves in yoruba land only good to be used as warriors to fight war(omuogun), so why do you ppl always hide this fact and concentrate on Igbos who Osus were use as servants even in Current Canada, there are aborigines, in Australia there are native Australian slaves, even in America , west indies were formally use as slaves even in their own land....You Yorubas should stop making noise about Osus every time. Even in modern life there are house maids , how many Yorubas have allow their son to marry their house maid.

Of course they did, the British had not amalgamated North and South yet.

If that amalgamation had never happend, Igbos would have had their separate independent homeland long time ago

Oh I see where your error is coming from. You dont know what sovereingty or freedom means.

Just open the politics section of this forum and all you see is Igbo this, Igbo that, and they are always complaining of one thing or the other.

Out of over 250 ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, we have to keep talking about you, ALL of the time.

Hmmmm... Maybe the Itshekiri, the Angas, the Tehl, the Urhobos, and the hundreds of other minority tribes should storm this forum and tell us what they want and why they haven't produced the President of the this country since independence.

Nigeria belongs to all of us and not just the major tribes.

We dont have discriminative practice in our society. God forbid bad thing!

Nna, your Osus will never Biafra to materialize. Cultural practice in Iboland forbid them from owning land. No freeborn will sell land to an Osu. They are not allowed to hold leadership titles in society. They are forbidden to couple with freeborn.

You want freedom for Biafra but you continue to suppress and deny it to osus.

Nigeria belongs to all of us and not just the major
tribes.


Nigeria is a failed Colonial entity that the young Igbos mind want no part in.

You Arewa-oduanistanis and anyother group down south can have it.

We( Igbos young minds) are interested in severing all ties with the failed colonial entity.

And who made an Afonja the spokes person for Osus? Do the Afonja care about the Amadis or Osus in Igboland?

Go and fight for your people in Ilorin. Establish your nation and fight to win them back if you can.

This silly obsession by Yolobas on Igbos must stop.

“Myself and The same UNICEF representatives
went on to convey something of what lay behind
this intransigence: “Among the large majority
hailing from that tribe (Yorubas) who are most
vocal in inciting the complete extermination of the
Igbos, I often heard remarks that all Nigeria’s ills
will be cured once the Igbos has been extaminated
from the human map".

Dreamer! Nigeria belongs to the Hausa-Fulani emirate of Sokoto! They are the real owners of Nigeria.

That is why anyone who believes in 'one Nigeria' is actually a Northern slave.

When someone sees your submission, he'd think you're passionate about equity...not knowing you're only talking bkos you feel your ethnic nationality's position has improved considerably

OSU caste system has been discouraged in Igbo land...You shud mind ur utterances esp. on issues you know nothing about...Every tribe had practices that are termed "terrible" by today's standard, wah matters is whether such is still been widely practiced...

"On 20 March 1956, Igbo legislators in the Eastern
House of Assembly, Enugu abrogated the then
common practice of referring people to as osus" wikipedia

You should rather bother urself about ur tribe and any uncivilized practices that still goes on there, at least you'll be commenting on issues you know a lot about
