The igbos have been playing the victim card all their lives. Yet they produced the first president in an independent Nigeria. Carried out the first coup that ended the first republic kept a straight face and claimed the chief coupist kaduna Nzeogwu was more hausa than igbo. Agreed but another igbo man benefited from the same coup that indirectly led to the civil war and clamour for an igbo sovereign nation.
Yes igbos have reasons to complain about been schemed out of things and only when they produce another igbo president which i support whole heartedly will this sense of exclusion can ever be curtailed to some extent.
But igbos created the problems for themselves when they started playing the power game with the north in the 60s and lost out. Since then the north have successfully found ways to combine with the yorubas to solidify their position at the center. which any sensible group would do in an imbalanced system such as ours.
I hear a lot of bear parlour argument about an igbo man declaring biafra as soon as presidency shifts to the south east. I laugh in different voices because a lot of folks do not understand the power and the huge benefits any group in control of abuja can accrue to themselves and their supporters. who owns a ferrari and throws it a way for a piece of keke maruwa in name of getting a sovereign nation.
Some of these things will answer the biafran question and make Nigeria a better union for the years to come.
1. Lets restructure how the national cake is shared. I mean the center should have the lesser share. States should control what they make.
2. One more state in the south east.
3. State of emergency on basic education in the north.
4. An igbo president by 2019 or latest 2023
5. Every part of the country should come up with a 10 year development plan that suits them to be pursued vigorously.
Lets not deceive ourselves Nigeria is a poor country with terrible leaders across all tribes. Without Biafra what has the south east leaders done within the current system. Are there no governors in the south east.? Abi do you think its not this same group of guys that have under performed that will lead a sovereign Biafra without handouts from big daddy in abuja?

Let me tell u one truth.....if Azikiwe never did what he did....it would have been worst for u and I today,....now they are now taking it back to where it was back then.....take it or leave it....this country is gonna turn to Islamic country and Christians will be forced against their will or be killed.....a full function of Sharia law will take place..... NIGERIA was created to be Islamic country

Aunty if you read through what you quoted without bias you'd have seen the debunking, a simple cogent point that invalidated all the nonsense he wrote and that's coming from me who is not an historian. At the height of the agitation by the colonies the British decided colonies that demanded for Independence should be granted and that was why Ghana independence was granted in 1957.

The singular reason Nigeria independence was delayed till 1960 was because Azikwe demanded unified southern and northern protectorate should be granted independence together as a country. Awo & Zik led the agitation with the northerners not even interested. It took 3 yrs for the British and Zik to convince them to be a part of the Nigeria project so how the moronic idiotic Igbo twisted history on it's head claiming there was no Igbo at the table to sign the amalgamation is shocking.

A blind bigoted Igbo girl like you will not see that but rather accuse those who counter the lies as a rat on mensuration. Even a monkey would decipher that without fact or explanation but Igbo would not be able to because of bigotry and stupidity like you exhibited.

Almagamation is 1914
Independence is 1960

You have only chosen to be gullible. I am a Yoruba and 1000% in support of referendum but Igbo would not dictate terms and conditions of the referendum. They can do that only when an Igbo man is the president in essence if they chose to break up Nigeria then it would be their loss. You read tru the article but did not read tru the deceit of the writer. Do not let any senseless Igbo hoodwink you into hating the northerners.

If you must hate let that be on your own accord. Igbo are born with hate and will perish by it. It is impossible for the British to merge three nation without any representation from a part. It is not possible. If you read through the formation of Isreal as unfair as the British were they still insisted on certain rights for the Arabs which was what led to their persecution by the Jews Zionist till they hurriedly left the catastrophe they created for the USA to take over.

NEVER BELIEVE A THING FROM ANY IGBO PREACHING HATE ANGER DISDAIN AGAINST OTHER TRIBES. IT IS THE POLITICS THEY KNOW HOW TO PLAY. IGBOS WERE NEVER INCLUDED YET AZIKWE DELAYED OUR INDEPENDENCE FOR THREE YEAR SO THE HAUSA FULANI CAN BE A PART OF NIGERIA HE INTENDS TO RULE.


A Yorubaman straight to the rescue of the north..How typical and expected.

You can as well ask God to take you off the planet so you do not share the earth with the North. Why ask 4 a separate country when you can have a separate planet.

You should do the same btw the line in this context the reason for the Union VALIDATED by Zik denying southern protectorate independence just to be in union with the North. You all can twist any how you want to favour but the fact of history can not be twisted. Until Igbo start blaming Azikwe for making such a blind uncalculating naive and outright senseless decision no one else should.

Long will this charade go on??..

Yorubas are free to hang on to northerners for dear lives but leave others who are not interested out of it.
Re: Nigerians Who Signed Amalgamation Documents In 1914 by ItsMeAboki(m): 11:56am On Oct 07, 2017
The exclusion should clearly make sense because when the British came they met already well established civilisations in the north and western Nigeria consisting of empires with effective leadership structures and governance system.

This was why particularly in the north they saw no reason to tamper with what they met and therefore opted for the indirect rule to govern that part of the country; while the same could not be said for the East.

Igbos did not have the equivalent of huge empires but lived in relatively much smaller scattered clusters of settlements, such as villages and hamlets (often a war with one another and producing slaves for the Americas, West Indies, etc.).

In short, the British were not discriminatory against the Igbos; but excluded them when it came to signing a pact like the amalgamation agreement, simply because the Igbos lacked a unified collective leadership to represent them.

This heritage may also explain for the individualistic rebellious anti-establishment and hateful quarrelsome trait we see in present day Igbos; which also manifests in their relatively poor leadership and follower-ship skills that precludes them from embracing unity and according due respect to their elders (even at family level) as can be seen in other tribal nations of the West and Northern Nigeria.

Finally, the OP was being disengenuous and short sighted when he foolishly assumed that the said document was signed voluntarily; completely forgetting that the fact that those signatures belonged to a ppl already subjugated by conquest of war and therefore at the beck and call of the British.

I completely agree with you we have nothing in common the more reason I suggested Igbo should vacate the planet Earth for other humans willing to coexist among themselves. Regarding leaving you out of what you want out of maybe you should call Nnamdu Azikwe who pleaded and begged for three good years to force the Northerners into what they never wanted but bigoted dimwits like you will not have the brain power to go as far back that memory lane or will simply jump over it and talk amalgamation..

for one iin 1957 when discussing Nigeria's indepedence the issue of our continued existence as a nation was discussed. The Igbos,represented by the NCNC, were the one's who fought the Yorubas, represented by the AC, tooth and nail for the continuance of Nigeria as a nation. After the AC submitted another proposition was made by the AC; inclusion of a succession clause in the constitution. The same NCNC threatened to report the leadership of the AC to the British on charges of treason. Years later it's the same myopic fooz disturbing the peace all over shouting contraption contraption. If there's a people in Nigeria that should complain about the creation of Nigeria it's the Benins a people who ruled almost the entire SS, get tributes from the SE and controlled some f the SW before the British but were reduced to only one state because they fought the British.

The oba of Benin then was a force against the British army until his capture and death in Calabar.
