Benevento: In Igboland, EG is called 'Panya'. Between the 40s to 70s, a good number of Igbos migrated to EG in search of opportunities and Igbos were actually substantial in numbers that the Igbo language was recognized as one of their spoken languages there till today. Somehow, the language has survived in EG but adulterated as you would expect. They still say 'bia' for 'come' and some other Igbo words here and there. The Igbos there have naturalized there and actually have an area of their own. I'm seeing some reports that say they are the 3rd largest in EG as we speak. https://www.facebook.com/BiafraYouthLeague/posts/bioko-igbos-of-equatorial-guinea-a-forgotten-minority-tribe-populations-33500ran/925915974213116/ My maternal uncle still talks about this place called 'Panya', where Igbos of yore would brag about having visited. 4 Likes

Coldie: It is actually estimated that less than a million southerners lost their lives during the civil war. Igbo land actually lost more numbers to slave trade (over 1.4m) than to the war but yet were still the most populated southern tribe for several decades after the slave trade. 3 Likes |

Seerade029: Nope, Igbo slaves were sent to Brazil, Cuba and Latin America in substantial numbers as well, especially during the start and middle of the slave trade. Yoruba slaves arrived en masse towards the end of the slave trade, which coincided with the Oyo-Dahomey wars where Yoruba slaves were mostly spoils of war. This is hard to believe but in terms of overall number of exports, more Igbo slaves (1.4m) were exported vs Yoruba slaves (about 500,000). Igboland was heavily populated and had the population to sustain the ongoing slave trade demand for centuries vs Yorubaland. Look at the pictures of slave numbers attached below. From the start to the middle of the slave trade, Yorubas were mostly sold in a few thousands until the early to mid 1800s where they dominated the slave trade scene as late entrants and, thus, one of the few tribes to leave the most recent and obvious african culture behind in the new world. I'm sure your next question would be, why then did Yoruba culture survive more than the Igbo? Ask me that and I would respond to you. 4 Likes

If resource control is implemented SUDDENLY in 2020, it will lead to national crisis. Only about 12 States will be able to cope (the first 5 largest oil producing States will do very well). About 24 States will face serious economic crisis that each State will reduce it workforce to just about 1000 people. There will be massive emigration from Most States into Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Ondo,Lagos and Imo States in an unprecedented rate while many citizens from Osun, Kogi, Anambra, Enugu, Kwara etc will find all means to leave the country, even if it's to Togo, Cameroon or Ghana. Lagos, Rivers and Cross River States will demand for 'Financial resource control' of revenues from their seaports. After about the first two years, the Governments of each non-oil producing States will start imposing heavy taxes on the few items that their States produce for the oil producing States e.g the smallest cattle from Kano, Katsina or Yobe State will be about #300,000. Eggs and Timber from Osun State will become very expensive. Yams from Benue States being sold in Rivers or Edo State will be like #1000 per tuber. Ondo and Osun States will go back to Massive cocoa Farming. Kano, Katsina, Sokoto will commence massive cultivation of Cotton, groundnuts, Onions, Tomatoes for exportation. Corruption and crimes rates in the non-oil producing States will reduce drastically because money will be so scarce and the electorates will transfer alot of aggression onto their Governors and politicians. 90% of the Governors will not win their re-election. Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB will become less popular and Biafra agitations will fizzle out. Gov Wike will become more dictatorial and proud to the extent that he will suggest that fences will be erected around the boundaries of Rivers State and other oil producing States will support this suggestion and will want to try it. If the inconveniences are well managed with maturity, after about 5-7 years, we will all get over it and the country will be better of it. If the inconveniences are not well managed, it can lead to change in Government or even civil war/disintegration. Coldie: 1 Like |

Get your facts right sir. 1) A significant portion of both Chad and Niger Republics lie mainly within the Sahara Desert which is hardly habitable let alone support huge population. Northern Nigeria lies within the Sahel with much better rainfall and fertile land than both Niger and Chad. 2) Saudi Arabia lies in the desert and because of the wealth from her crude oil sales, it has entered Stage-4 in the 'Demographic Transition'. Polygamy is less practiced in Saudi Arabia than the North. Polygamy predated the religion of Islam and it's not exclusive for Muslims, only that the Islamic religion is not oppose to it unlike Pentecostal Christianity/Western culture that now demonize it.

afube:Finally I get a worthy oponenet to discuss this, since you claim to be educated... All these knowledge and skills, since they exist now, what's stopping these people from utilizing it to develop the east? Economic and social demands that will need satisfaction, like food, shelter, and clothes, amongst all these things I dont think the east is a producer of any... We are a marginal producer of food, therefore we would be heavily reliant on import diminishing our foreign reserve, shelter we only have one limestone deposit at ithink Enugu, what's stopping our leaders from utilizing it? Most of the textiles used to produce the clothes are sourced from North. We are at a disadvantage here, this disadvantage will become very visible after the break up. That apart the east is not known to really produce we are more of an entrepot for the rest of Nigeria |

hammerP:The onus lie on you to make them feel comfortable to disclose their ethnic group to you. Only an immature person will get angry because his brother who's struggling in the state where he was sandwiches didn't joyously identify as Igbo. Circumstances make people to behave so. If he trust you, he'll let you know. When I was in one company in Nigeria, I met a couple of Igbos from Anioma. Ordinarily they won't speak Igbo to me. They were occupying big positions and much older than me. I understood the situation and knew what to do. It wasn't a friendly area for Igbos. Whenever I was alone with any of them, I speak Igbo with them. Initially they'll respond in English but as time went on, they started adding Igbo to it. I psychologically encouraged them such that they became free with me. This is how you should relate with them instead of being tensed. There are reasons why some of them are not confident to let out their ethnicity to anyone. What if you're one of those naive Igbos from SE who will tell them they're not Igbos simply because they're not from the SE? The onus is on you bro. 1 Like |

Something is very wrong with the Benins population.. we were never taken as slaves during the slave trade era and we didn't loose our population during the civil war and fulanis aren't killing us like the middle bet. Yet our population is very low. We aren't even top 10 in the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Something is very wrong 1 Like |
