We are having this conversation at all because of the rumoured interest of the Camerounians in Obudu.
Why should a truly strong and united country hand over any of its territory under any circumstance to a foreign country?
That is the question.

Those who want Nigeria to survive are harping on a national conference, while those who want Nigeria to collapse are busy hiding their heads in the sand.

Ruq:

9jaganja Your head they there abeg! Gbam, the foolish ibos dont know they are so you need to tell them Madiuche and his second slowpoke,follow follow!

9jaganja:

Those who want to divide Nigeria should hide their heads. They have showed the basis of their dream lack good reasoning. Those who want Nigeria as one are not throwing away dividing Nigeria but a national conference first will be good. Se if we can agree on terms. We need to try responsible government. This worked for Canada. Provincial government. Where the federal government is just a platform for national security and promotion of unity economically, politically.  etc, but each province controls his own. Every tribe should have their province no matter how small. It will work. Fg can also assist provinces not catching up with others. Everyone must be independent!!

Onlytruth:

And you think Igbo would just follow Cameroun without any armed guaranty?
If the "hypothetical war" begins, do you think Igbos would just go home and wait?
You are making me laugh so hard.  

chyz:

Then why should the regions stay together if that is the case.why would it be bad for each region to go its way but trade with each other?

The Alignment of the Elite class albeit Parasitic as if what we are practicing is not true federalism.

Maziuche what sense can you afford to teach me?? When at your old age you still cant reason,or you want to make me duffer like you pleaseee spare me! You are retarded than i taught sorry lol,

Look dude, the problem we have in Nigeria is that there is this fear that Nigeria will inevitably divide. Believe me I hold out hope that Nigeria will remain one. The structure will change of course. The oneness must be negotiated not imposed.
And when people make statements that Nigeria is indivisible on top of the present state of my region and people, I just laugh. Let's start with free and fair elections first and go from there.
Cameroun is not our biggest problem if we do the right things at home.
Of those they will remain a problem if Nigeria continues wagging war on her own people.

tensor777:

You are not thinking this through. When war breaks out, the politicians and diplomats take a back seat and the military professionals- who are trained to be totally at home in killing and destruction - take over.
In such a situation the civilians living in a zone occupied by enemy troops would be under clear and present threat of massacre, despoil, and genocide. There is no question of such civilians exercising their political rights in such a scenario.

Because together we are economically powerful. We can be a nation of nations like someone said. If Igbos want to leave or any other tribe, they should be able to but not with the animosity some secessionists are showing here. It will be brutal. If we unite then peacefully divide, it's better than the way the separatists want it.

9jaganja:

I agree.Unity can not be imposed. Those who say Nigeria is indivisible are being insensitive to the current state of the nation not just igbo land. Anything that affects Igbos should naturally affect Nigerians as a whole. A national conference where kings that are repping their people's opinions is much needed first. A free and fair election isn't the only thing though but it's needed. Peace

MaziUche0:

I wonder why people have not put it in their head that the Igbo do not want to be part of this nation. How hard is for people to understand that simple issue?

Nigeria does not want to let go of Igbos.

Onlytruth:

That is THE SPIRIT I'm talking about. Thanks.

Ileke-IdI:

Nah, Nigerian politicians are just selfish and greedy. It's not that they dont want to let go of Igbos, they just dont want to lose the oil in your land.

I bet you if Igbos decide to move to Cameroon, they would be too happy. Selfish, greedy ppl, right?

Ruq:

22 f***** olda dan i thought and you still reason like this Men Montessori is still open!

MaziUche0:

Nigerian politicians are greedy and that cuts across all tribal lines. But the oil in our land has not been fully tapped like it is in the core oil producing states.

If Igbos decide to move to Cameroon, God forbid, we would be the majority tribe. I don't think the Cameroonians would want us in that nation, because that would tip the political power in the Western Cameroonian favor. And you know how rebellious we Igbos are.

Ileke-IdI:

Interesting. But nah, I wouldnt know.

BTW, I met an Igbo lady at this thing up North yest. She was so sweet, nice and motherly. . . . I wonder if she's a closet tribalist. Do you think so?

I only there was an award for foolishness, someone would have sinse won it.

@ 9jaganja

Individually you ar powerfully as well economically too and there is peace amongst african brothers by the use of respect and trade. You cant tell me that this wouldnt work better. No more tug of war between who owns what and this tribe is steeling out resources. and y should the separation be brutal? also the ideology of bring unity has been tried for along time and still hasnt been reach. the tribes just dont get along and trust each other and on top of that the country is corrupt and too big. So again, what is wrong with each region going its way and trading amongst each other for whatever is need?

MaziUche0:

My prejudices:

I do not trust the Yoruba.

I think the Hausa are violent and extremist.

Igbos are too egotistical

Efik women are highly sexual beings

Ijaws are lazy and scream about oil oil oil

Ikwerre are confused Igbo

Ngwa are criminals

etc

MaziUche0:

Igbo women are not tribalist in the sense. I never heard an Igbo woman belittle another group. That being said, she probably sees you as a human being.
