This is the more reason for biafra , biafra should be a Nigerian project and not an igbo project only

Kaduna Declaration kick started an independent Biafra for you....free of charge and without any bloodshed. What did you do with it?

Lolz, clowns
What concerns Nigeria with Biafra.
When u lots are #really ready for Biafra u'll pack ur kaya and head over to Biafra/"East-rel"
As at now, u are creating nuisance(s) with ur "zoo" chants yet travelling in droves daily to d same "zoo".

I think the question ought to be "Is there any ethnic group in Nigeria that doesn't have issues with Ibo"? Don't single out Yoruba...we just happen to be most visible on internet and our responses to Ibo are heard more often than what you hear from others. On Hausa forums Ibos are thrashed daily but you won't know because it is written in Hausa. Go and check Asari videos and what he said about enslaving and selling Ibos. Ibos themselves have cried out repeatedly that their people are despised in Benue. Their markets are targets of vandalism and intimidation for the slightest excuse in Bayelsa. In Jos, everytime violence break out between Fulani and indigenes Ibos go into hiding...for fear of becoming collateral victim. It is a serious problem, very serious, and it needs a fix....but it is compounded by Ibo themselves and the avenues to use to fix it is often blocked by their own arrogance.

You couldn’t have said it better
The biggest delusion they have his “people envy us”
It’s literally not envy igbos breed irritance
They are being sacked from Ghana , South Africa, India , in Malaysia they know us by tribes , Benin & Togo

But they still think all of these countries are jealous of them
They don’t understand concept of diplomacy
Like you said ijaw called them slaves
Hausas threaten them an exit
Yoruba threaten to drown them

So where in Nigeria history was Igbo ever allowed to cede ?
Bigotry as indeed ruined the lives of you myopic Igbos.

kettykin:


Do you realize how a statement by the same Awolowo goaded igbos into the civil war. How Awolowo stated that if by omission or commission igbos were allowed to secede, yorubas would secede.

I have taken this up with some friends who are in the law and legal profession and all have the verdict that the statement simply means something different from what Awolowo eventually did

And it was a war
They wanted to invade Lagos

This is the reason why Igbos hate Yoruba....

You are the reason.

Why do yoruba's hate igbo's?.
Despite the fact that we are:
One nigeria. &
Same Southern nigeria.
A yoruba man will prefer a northerner being president than his fellow southern igbo.
Same with an igbo man too.
Why?

So they told you that once you are in "one Nigeria" you must like each other? Igbos and Yorubas have nothing in common except that the British lumped them both in one country in 1914

Precisely!

I have combed repositories, including exclusive ones with subscription, trying to find any record of Yoruba contact with Ibo pre-1900....None exist! Not in oral record, not in written record. I even looked at artworks that perharps I will find trace of contact with Ibo, None exist!

Yoruba has record of Ijaw and Igala...the two colonizers of Ibo ahead of Britain. Yoruba related with others at State level....Ibo had no State, therefore we had no reason whatsoever to know you or care who you were.

The problem is not why they hate each other, the problem is why are they in the same country, sharing the same country. Me thinks the remaining Nigerians should just let biafra be so tyat peace can reign
They are in the same country because Zik and Ironsi wanted it at all cost.

In your delusion you believe the Hausa,Ijaw,Benue, Jos etc love Yorubas?
Dream on.
Truth is,ethnic groups in Nigeria dislike each other, even those who are neighbors. Igbos are exposed more to this aggression because they travel to all nooks and corners of the country to do business.

Oh please it was a time of War, if you understand the true meaning of war you would know I'm liable to use whatever I have at my disposal to see you on your knees.....like ojukwu won't do the same if the case were reversed. And yes hunger as an instrument....how can you come shit on all our collective plates and still be expecting to be fed from our kitchen....there won't have been hunger if ojukwu had thought about development instead of seeing how he can acquire more weapons and be selling Nigeria oil for cheap.
if u can use any means to win a war , why then does the word "war crime " exist?, was the word invented by igbos ?
there are things u do during a war ,despite being a war ,it becomes a crime against humanity ,

Igbos are programmed to hate Yorubas
They wish they were us
They wish they had our economic clout
They wish they had our cities Oyo is the size of south east
Ogun generates more IGR than the entire SE.
Lagos is the 7th largest economy in Africa
We are the most educated
We have the best private & public schools
We have better leaders

All these greatness infuriaties them & they blame their backwardness on Yoruba

A whole Chinua Achebe’s last book was dedicated to insulting Yorubas you can imagine at that age

Igbos like me wish it had stayed that way. The day Lugard lumped Igbos and Yorubas together in one country in 1914 was a big mistake

The day Igbos are no longer in one country with Yorubas will be a glorious day.
