greensandy: The Jews with all their humility and conservative way of life were roundly hated in Europe and frequently expelled by different countries, culminating in the holocaust. Humans will always hold on to a reason to vilely hate what they can't understand. So miss me with the BS. As for the OP, your thread is in very bad taste and is only designed to whip up anti Igbo sentiments. You and your ilk in One Nigeria apparently get orgasms from Igbo baiting and bashing. Knock yourself out As for South Southern useful idiots, remember that when they start killing 'Igbos' in the North as they frequently do and for the flimsiest of reasons, anyone who does not look like a fellow core Northern muslim (with that ominous dark dot of their forehead to boot) will be massacred. To them over there, anything across the Niger River is Igbo or Yoruba. Do with this information what you will. Also, you have to agree, if you have some modicum of common sense, that the creation of the South South region was for the greater good, no matter who developed' the idea. Lastly, if Biafra comes at any time, be fully aware that indigene Igbos in your states will definitely want to leave the cursed One Nigeria for Biafra. Another information to ponder on. 9 Likes |

It is always the case that people who cannot discuss issues (who don't have the brain power and emotional fortitude to discuss issues) always resort to discussing personalities. They cannot engage with ideas so they resort to ad hominem attacks against people that discuss these issues. Hate, bigotry, anger, fights, insults, those are the only things that they understand and it's the only thing that they can engage with. It's all they do and all they see in others. They cannot discuss issues. 21 Likes 5 Shares |

Chai. IGBOS are the Architect of their own problem. They created everything they are against in Nigeria today. * Aguıyı Ironsi abolished the same Regional Government that, Igbos are clamouring for today. * Nnandi Azikiwe removed Referandum from the Constitution. * An Igbo président created the Cattle routes across the Country in the 60's. 24 Likes 6 Shares

naptu2: Here is an excerpt from the original article written in 2010: At the Mkpoko Igbo pre-Conference summit in Enugu in April 1994, a document that called for the creation of six geo-political zones, the zoning of top political offices (especially the presidency) and rotation of power among the six zones was fashioned out. There would be three zones in the North, including a separate zone for Northern minorities, and three in the South, including another separate zone for the Southern minorities. The Igbo elite mandated former Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme, to lead the presentation of this agenda at the Conference, with Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and Dr Sam Mbakwe as his able lieutenants. Ekwueme did a fantastic job, but the North, which opposed the geo-political zones and zoning of the presidency, accused him of trying to break up the North and whittle down its influence, which was not far from the truth, anyway. This was one of their reasons for dumping him for Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999. It was also due to the efforts of another group of Igbo intelligentsia led by retired Commodore Okoh Ebitu Ukiwe that led General Sani Abacha to create Bayelsa and Ebonyi states on October 1, 1996 , while also approving the geo-political zones, even though it is not (yet) in the Constitution as the Igbo recommended.

aikyg: Great, so simple chronology solves this issue. Which came first, 1983-1985 when Ekwueme was in prison and developed this idea or 1994 when he presented it to this pre-conference summit? It's simple common sense. Read Ekwueme's interview, maybe you'll understand. (I already know that all regions had their pre-conference summits. In fact, the Northern pre-conference summit is on YouTube. That is where people present their ideas and it's where Dr Ekwueme presented his idea, but the idea existed before 1994). 8 Likes 2 Shares |

naptu2: The craziest and funniest idea here is from the people that ignorantly claim that this has something to do with hatred for Igbos. That level of ignorance is astounding. What the heck does this have to do with the Igbo ethnic group?? Is it because Dr Ekwueme is Igbo? This idea was created by Dr Alex Ekwueme. Ekwueme is one man. He is not every Igbo person. The idea was his. It is not the idea of every Igbo person. Does this also mean hatred for Yorubas, because Chief Onabanjo contributed to the idea? Does it mean hatred for Kanuris because Abacha accepted the idea? Or does it mean hatred for the entire Nigeria because the National Assembly adopted the idea in several acts? The level of silliness is shocking. I believe that sensible people know that that argument makes no sense. The people who are trying to derail the thread with such nonsense are only doing it because they want to stop me from answering questions and busting myths. They can never stop me. 19 Likes 4 Shares |

So the people that murdered Igbo on their way home at Makurdi when the war had not started are just the Nigerian army? You Tiv people didn't join?
