this Idiota of a man is the most selfish so called IGBO man i have ever come Across, he does not give a shiit! about any one else but his families and his pocket. he has confessed also that his children are Yoruba and does not care about IGBO more reason not to take him serious, my children are born in England and America but they can speak IGBO and are very much aware of their Origin,
while this Anu mpama! has the face to tell us that his children are Yoruba just because they were born just in common lagos!
this kinda Dumb ibos are the ones who are sabotaging biafrans, these are the ones we will disown when biafra finally comes and when the Yorubas eventually kicks him and his families out of lagos. ewu Yoruba!

Words of wisdom.

I say it though I think the the strive for Biafra is well justified. But leading your own people into war, which you cannot win is in.sane and I truly believe that N.Kanu is in.sane.

Every time I hear a politician agitating already agitated people, I consider him to be irresponsible. Every time I see a so called leader shouting like a monkey in the zoo, I know that he needs volume because he lacks strength.

Only one thing is worse than war, a war that you cannot win.

This is one reason among many reasons Biafra must be actualized. Who voted for this dingbat who remotely insinuates that agitation for home land is late? Whenever someone awakes from overnight slumber is his/her morning. Nigerians hate each other and it is even prevalent in cultural association where lines are drawn strictly on tribal bases. Where is the unity many foolish Nigerians seem to play tricks on themselves?

Europeans hated each other too. They destroyed each other's principalities on a regular basis and fought proxy wars all over the world. Today they form one of the biggest and most successful unions comprised of 27 nations with very different languages, cultures and histories. It is a success story, from bloody history to economic prosperity.

Dialogue is strenuous and requires time and patience but it is a constructive process.

the so called igbo hatred is odd. igbos are 80% nomadic traders and their business is trading with other nigerians. go around nigeria and you will find them EVERYWHERE. go to zamfara, you will see them there.

take them out of nigeria as some are agitating and i'm sorry, but it is over. nigeria is their market.

as for all the marginalization talk , thats just more noise. i work in corporate nigeria, and i can tell you ibos are in no way under represented there

all this biafra, kanu etal is the pursuit of political power outside of conventional processes of dialogue and building alliances.

The truth is that most of those agitating for secession has nothing to lose if Nigeria breaks up.
Its either their families and investment are based abroad or they are non-entity. That is why most reasonable investors are running out of Niger Delta even with the oil.
I hope our people will learn before its too late, how many of our looters billionaire has investment in Nigeria like Dangote. They stole your money (Madam Diesani et al) invest it in Dubai, put small dollars in the pockets of some vision-less idiot who comes to tell us all kinds of craps.

It’s too late for Igbo to pull out of Nigeria – Igbo lawmaker

A Lagos lawmaker, Mr Jude Idimogu, on Saturday, said it was too late for the Igbo nation to pull out of Nigeria. Idimogu, representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, told newsmen in Lagos that secession would be injurious to the Igbos.

He said: “As a full blooded Igbo man and a Nigerian, I believe, Igbo staying in Nigeria as an entity will prosper the Igbo nation better than pulling out.

“After the 1967 Civil war, the Igbo man started all over again to build up; now Igbo nation has made progress in terms of economy and politics.

“Though the Igbo nation has not reached where it is expected to be politically, we should dialogue rather than be creating war scenarios. ‘

’It is too late to pull out (of Nigeria), Igbo nation has united Nigeria because they have businesses everywhere in this country,” the lawmaker said.

The lawmaker urged Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to rescind from any action that could create enmity against Igbos around the country. He urged the Igbo nation to unite with other ethnic groups in the country to articulate their grievances and actualised their dreams.

“My children were born in Lagos and some of them don’t even know their state of origin, they speak Yoruba and so many Igbo children are like that across the North and West.

“We have our future in Nigeria. The only thing Igbo nation should fight for is political power not by creating war scenario but by merging with other nations/tribes in Nigeria – the Northerners and Westerners. “Most Igbos, over 50 per cent, don’t even believe in Biafra because they have counted the cost from 1970 after the war till 2017. No one wants to go back to square one; it is not possible.

“As a person, I am against it; what the Igbo man should struggle for in this entity are equality, fairness and justice, not pulling out.

“It is very late to pull out, it will be difficult because majority of us are not ready to fight any war; I don’t want to lose my life nor my sons and daughter in war; I believe we can make Nigeria our home,’’ he said. According to him, even if the Igbo nation wants to pull out of Nigeria, it is not going to be overnight or by aggression, rather it should be via a friendly and democratic process.

“Kanu should calm down, unite with Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a tree cannot make a forest,” the lawmaker said. Newsmen report that there had been several agitations by IPOB for a Sovereign State of Biafra, the development that lead to the proscription of the group.

Very excellent one from an enlightened Igbo man. We should think like. Nobody should be deceived into baseless war.

This guy is nothing but a lost soul. So because he has political ambition and afraid to die, millions of other igbos should jettison their future security and lives. BTW, when herdsmen were busy killing innocent souls across nigeria, where we're this dimwit and what efforts did he make to show love and protection to our fellow igbos killed by buhari militias and military? Biafra must come and all these political psycophants would be kept in their due places.

take them out of nigeria as some are agitating and i'm sorry, but it is over. nigeria is their market.

But let us be honest, the reason why you or others want them to stay is not because you have their best interest at heart. And that's part of the problem in the discussion as it conceals the reasons why you want them to remain and comes off as patronizing adding to their feelings of disempowerment.

as for all the marginalization talk , thats just more noise. i work in corporate nigeria, and i can tell you ibos are in no way under represented there

This is your subjective perception. Theirs is a different one and calling their concerns noise, will in no way change their subjective perception.


all this biafra, kanu etal is the pursuit of political power outside of conventional processes of dialogue and building alliances.

Kanu was put to prison for expressing his political views. Was it conventional? We would both agree that it added fuel to fire, wouldn't we?
How could a man who spun a tale of African Jews and who speaks on podiums surrounded by the Biafran, Israeli and American flag grin gain so much popularity and relevance if the government had not empowered him by making him more important than he was?

Depends on the age of the children.
Until children reach an age when concepts like "state of origin" make sense to them they can not know their state of origin.
