Question Of The Day: If Igbo Wants Biafra, Why Are They Not Living In Biafra? by melvinjames: 9:36am On May 06, 2021
Please no tribalism on this very important subject.

Igbos want to live anywhere except in Biafra.
For a people clamouring for secession, you'd think most Igbos would want to live in Biafra but no.
Half of those vituperating on twitter and Nairaland actually live in the SW.
One would have thought the first thing to do was to build Biafra and make it an enviable place.


5% of Yorubas live outside Yoruba land
10% of Hausas live outside the north.
A whopping percentage of Igbos live outside Igbo land. (about 80%)

What am I not getting?

This your question is same question we ve been asking for ages..You will never get any reasonable answer

In fact, the easiest way to start a fight with them is when you tell them to go back home...and deveRop it

Truth is..they don't love each other genuinely. An Igbo man does not want his brother to have what he has..just because he doesn't want him to talk when and where he is talking....

Is it the level of crime "manufactured" from that region we want to talk about? No, don't let us go there...

This is what I've been saying for years. None of us wants to live in Igboland but yet we want Biafra.
So who will live in Biafra since none of us wants to live there?

You already have Nigeria but there are millions of Nigerians living outside Nigeria, and thousands running out every day

But you are coming to ask why Igbos are not living in the East for a Biafra that they are yet to get?

What sort of stupid thread is this one? Nigerians and their double standards.

You didn't even attempt to answer the question.
Explain why a people that wants separation refused to separate by living in the territories they preach against.

Even American citizens leave US for other countries for business. People go to other places to exploit every available opening for survival. Yoruba and hausas are everywhere in the world. Ask relevant questions and not this.

Where did you get your stats?
1. More than 5% of Yorubas live outside Yoruba land actually,infact there is no race that has only five percent living outside..
2. Igbos are mostly travelers for starters,I don't think there is anywhere in this world that you won't find igbos living there.It didn't start today.

3. You are one of those that haven't even crossed river Niger,not to talk of igboland to know whether the area is even developed or not,abi when last did visit there,or you met the least areas there.travel for once.

4.The clamour for Oduduwa republic is also rising so,Biafra is not the only one.

I prefer you look more into how to resolve the current conflict, inflicting the country with ernomous damages and national development,rather.

Very good question,they claim to develop everyone space but cannot develop their cities to become envy of other nations in Nigeria.

They claim to develop Lagos but cannot develop Enugu,their Eastern capital better than Lagos.They lack human capital and ingenuity to stand alone,only boasting is their trademark.

If Hausas and Yorubas chase them away today,you will see how they will crawl on their feets to beg you.

They are the real jews of Nigeria aka wanderers.

Just like God told the Israelites to spoil the Egyptians before leaving, so must Igbos spoil Nigeria before returning to their land. So Igbos are all over Nigeria making money and very soon, they will return to their land with a lot of wealth got from Nigerians.. That's why you see them everywhere

This is how they shift the goal post when cornered rather than give a straightforward answer to a simple question that highlights their hypocrisy and insincerity.

They don't see that their behaviour is very aberrant and weird within Nigeria. Everyone can travel abroad, out of their home nation, to take advantage of better opportunities.

Yet what is the sense migrating to live your lives in other regions of your own home nation ,while you neglect your own land, only to then be bragging senselessly about developing Lagos, Kaduna, Kano etal.

Wait a moment grin so you were actually expecting a straightforward answer to some excruciatingly daft question asked by a half-wit who for starters ignorantly stated 80% of Igbos live outside the South East, so if that's the case what then is the population of Igbos left in the East? ... like are you lots on this forum actually starved of any shred of IQ and cognitive reasoning? this is actually very embarrassing
