Emir Sanusi's statement reads:

The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi.

Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.

Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South- West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.

After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first.

Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu.

There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie- Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.

If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems.

Why are you jittery.

Okay

I can't see a source for this gist mr o.p! Not credible.....

Person nor fit enter nairaland without all this yeye news kai

Hmnnn....

The Igbos are the architect of their own misfortune, this whole Eastern/Northern rife was started in 1966 by the Kaduna born Nzeogwu(though of Deltan parentage); from that moment, the Igbo natives have been treated with caution and fear by the other regions in an attempt to curtail their presumed exploits, same way Germany was treated in Europe after the Second World War (1939-1945)...But Germany has regained more prestige than the Igbos after the wars, this unfair treatment on the Igbo gats to stop, and NOW.

You call it yeye news because you are not happy with the truth.

We are watching, Sanusi has said it all, the Igbos you know before are no longer the ones you know today.

Hypocrites are the Hausa's and Yoruba's, the Igbos don't want the union again, is it problem.

I asked myself why is yoruba not happy with Igbos Biafra, i Now observed that they don't want to be the scape goat in the hands of Hausa's, they need to use Igbos to get favour.

Enough is enough, the Igbos are ready for Biafra.

You failed to comprehend, I meant I was tired of all these yeye news (Biafra, Igbo's vs Hausa & yoruba present routine). so shove these aside.

You don't need to be tired of something that has not started, Igbos are saying they are tired of the union, Hausa's are saying the same too, and oduduwa are saying the same too.

Let us come together and agree to go our separate ways, the union and equity distribution of things are not working anymore.

People are strange. Igbos are saying that they are tired of Nigeria, give them Biafra. Someone is in Kano still talking about 'one Nigeria'

[quote author=kingzizzy post=57468672]People are strange. Igbos are saying that they are tired of Nigeria, give them Biafra. Someone is in Kano still talking about 'one Nigeria'

Is ur reasoning not strange?
Is there any promise by federal government that Biafra will be granted once Igbo's go back to the east.
