If Aba and the East is a problem to you all, then gently let them secede from Nigeria without you folks fighting tooth and nail to keep them in Nigeria.

Till someone tells me why Nigeria has refused to left Igbos go, everything else said here doesn't make sense.

What do you think?

The East was a very peaceful place prior to the war. This war changed that. And people wonder why Igbos hate Nigeria with a passion. And now the Niger Delta is starting to wake up.

Eastern Nigeria would be a much better place if people would focus on their own dammn region.

YES, YES, YES, YES
I am an Igbo man and most times thank God for not allowing us win the war, He knows better.
Biafra would have been no different from Sudan etc.
Sorry my Igbo brother, but the truth is bitter unless we change our attitude.

Yes Guyman, Its one of those very sad things. I wish someday someone somewhere will wake up and realise what we lost. As we grow up and understand why we are like this. Why things are so bad. I hope several threads can be opened and we can learn why the east was destroyed. I can understand conflict, it has happened in every society but the vengeful destruction (till date) of al and area represents is hard to comprehend. I was watching the bombing of Hamburg on Discovery a few days ago the very Germany that today is an industrial power house. Japan was destroyed too, Iraq lately, yet everyone of them was rebuilt by the very powers that wiped them out. And when I say rebuilt it was not only the infrastructure but the institutions, the industries, the culture and the pride. German scientists then pioneered several technological advances at home, in the States and the then Soviet union. Where are the Biafran scientists, where are the war advances, why were the wartime industries not rebuilt. Because of narrow minded, vengeful post war policies perpetuated till date by evil men hell bent on selfish misrule. Guys we've had our chance to develop our country and blown it.  It will take hell and high water for another chance and we will beg God on our knees for that.  You can imagine that as we mark 50 years of independence we cannot produce the fuel we use. 40 years ago oil was being refined in Biafra without Shell, TFE or NNPC. Where is that technology. 40 years ago.

Obiagu1:

True, we lost a lot, that's why they will come here to laugh at us because we are now like them which is what they want.

MaziUche0:

That is the sad truth. But we can change that. First we need to kill the Igbo leaders who are the crooks. And that means most of them.

Igboland needs to be bathed in blood.

Instead of kidnapping innocent children, we need to be kidnapping these politicians.

kettykings:

What baffles me most about nigerians is that even the parts of nigeria that was not ravaged by the civil war has not made much progress, look at the ibadan of today , I badan happens to be the dirtiest capital in nigeria , is it abeokuta or illorin which is nothing but glorified LGA hq.

BigPhil:

@Denitro,You must be suffering from poverty of logic and eclipse of reason.How dare you malign,the whole Ibos,like that.

@DatiggaAk,Please don't raise threads that are beyond your intellectual capacity.What  a myopic and narrow minded article.Aba is not the only
city in the eastern region.To try and corelate what is indeed and unfortunate and irresponsible behaviour of some individuals to what might have been is seriously silly.It is  highly speculative and not empirically founded.What the hell are you trying to insinuate.

DatNiggaAk:

@BigPhil,

do you have to be insultive? is that how your mother raised you?
i have a lot of respect for the Ibo man but at the same time you can't deny the fact that they are also responsible
for some of the most heinous crimes witnessed in this country apart from the boko haram people and like minds up north.
in Abuja where i reside, the Ibos own the city. the economic power in the city resides amongst them while the political and
government power is with the hausas.
all the best hotels, clubs, lounges, super stores, plazas even estates are owned by the ibos. most of the shops in the city are
owned and run by them. at the same time, 85% of the prostitues are ibos, 4 in 5 armed robbers arrested are ibos. why is that so?
questions you should ask yourself before you start throwing insults around like an uncultured louth.
Aba has witnessed the highest frequency of of kidnappings, murders and robberies in the south east.
but is Enugu free of that. what of Awka. is Onistha safe? even owerri which is deemed the safest city in the south east is not free
from the occasional kidnap and robberies.
all i asked if you took time to read the first post is that, is it Nigeria responsible for the problems the south east is facing or is it the people themselves causing their own problems? answer that question before you start being insultive,

@Obiagu1


Bros, these conniving individuals could dance all they want but the fact remains federal government of Nigeria is responsible for what is happening in Igbo land in general and Aba in particular. For about 50 years now, there is no iota of federal government presence in southeast region.

beneli:

Biafra, the idea of a nation that one can call one’s own and be proud of, is a receding dream that has been replaced by a horrific nightmare that Nigeria is becoming. And Aba, a place which l call home, my roots within Nigeria, is in ruins because of a failed leadership. And it breaks my heart.

Let them who take joy in my misfortune, gloat.
