Message For Igbos In Northern Nigeria by FreeIgbos: 9:48am On Jul 05, 2021 |
I will start with this popular Igbo adage that says agbaa mbu, otu n'ogwe, agbaa abuo, otu n'ogwe, obu ogwe ka apiri aku?! What is happening in Nigeria has gone beyond becarefull. Any smart observer of events currently happening will tell you that "echi di ime" tomorrow is pregnant. It is not uncommon to hear our people or sometimes our adversaries claim that Igbos own 60% of properties in Abuja, 40% in Jos, 30% in Kano and bla bla bla it goes. Worse still, some of us thinks it's something to brag about. Really? Maybe in sane climes but certainly not in a dog eat dog soceity like Nigeria! It has become clear to people with foresight that Nigeria is headed for break-up in no distant time. Everything happening now and what could be extrapolated and projected towards the future already points to it with almost vivid clarity to a discerning person. I will point out a few of these factors: 1. Nigeria has gone totally broke and won't recover; Nigeria's finances are currently in tatters and federal government is borrowing heavily to pay salaries. Worse still, income from oil is tanking, and in no distant time we will be earning very little from crude oil sales that it won't even be enough for government to do anything with. Bottom line, we can't pay back our loans and creditors will stop lending, then what happens? A collapse of government! 2. Herdsmen imbroglio: If you look critically at the body language of Abuja, you will realize that they have no plans of building ranches for fulani herdsmen in the North. On the contrary, they are hell-bent on seizing our lands and handing it over to herdsmen. Now, this is going to cause severe crises & upheavals because land is sacred to all indigenous people anywhere in the world, and it is even more critically so in Igboland because we lack lands relative to our population. I have seen indigenes fight government or even investors over lands that were/are to be used for economic projects like universities and airports because then you wonder how they would tolerate their lands being seized and handed over to cattle rearers that offer no benefit to the community. 3. Jihard/Islamic Renaissance; you live in the North, haven't you observed the growing wave of Islam and intolerance? It started with the enactment of sharia law and its enforcement regardless of what Nigeria's constitution says. Trucks of alcoholic beverages are wantonly destroyed. Beer palours attacked. Policeman even arrested for drinking beer even when it is not against the law and now banning mannequins because it excites the libido of their men. Worse still, Boko Haram and other Islamic terror groups are spreading like wild fire in the harmattan with no serious effort made to stop them. Where do you think all these is going to end? Have you also noticed that Northerners are gradually coming to terms to the possibility of Nigeria's break-up and are now adjusting to it? The realignment to integrate with Niger republic is also a pointer. Again, there has been talks that should East get their referendum, that all Igbos in the North will be asked to return to the East and join it. Do you know why they said that? Their aim is to seize your properties all over the North should Igbos vote Yes for Biafra and threaten you not to return. It is important to emphasize that I didn't mention IPOB or other separatist groups as one of the factors that will lead to Nigeria's break-up because I believe they're the symptoms and not the root cause. However, they have now capitalized on the factors I mentioned above to become a massive counterforce and leveraging it to achieve their ambitions. The way out? Please let's all stop any further investments in the North, especially if it has to do with landed properties that can't be moved. Also, if you can get buyers, now is the last chance to consider selling the ones already built and reinvesting in the East. Anaghi agwa ochi nti n'agha esula n'ihi na ukpana okpoko buuru, nti chiri ya! God bless all Igbos worldwide!!! 6 Likes 3 Shares |

I see our people always calling to those in the North. This is because you don't know how many of our people in the North live over there. 30% of the Igbo in the North are not looking to come back. They have ensnared themselves so deeply with Northerners. You find them married to Northerners, in some cases converted to Islam. They have several empty lands to their name over there. Just say a few words to them. Don't break your bones when asking them to return. Some will never listen. But have it in mind though, no number of years living in the North, or converting to Islam has brought them full inclusion and acceptance in the Northern society. Whenever it starts, they will surely be slaughtered in their numbers. My pity is for those who have their hearts at home but are based in the North, who end up getting killed. Though these group are usually alert and quick to evacuate. 3 Likes |

FreeIgbos: Pls ignore that miscreant. Your mssg is well received. Any lgbo man that fails to do the needful is oyo. Inbetween all these stories of lgbos own 30% of kano, 60% of Abuja are all lies and emotional blackmail. Ask them to list 10 lgbo industries in ne and nw. Secondly the claims lgbos in the north are in millions are just plain lies told to those that haven't been to the north. 1 Like |

SlayerForever: Oga have lived in the north briefly. How many lgbos do you know are married to northerners. Don't say what you don't know. Secondly, thanks to boko haram and kanu most of our people are building back home. Forget stories of lgbo properties in the north worth trillions. That's a lie. Most lgbos in the north don't have landed properties. Its like saying majority of lgbos in the west have properties, that's not possible. However majority do have properties in the east. 1 Like |

History555: I have already ignored the anuohia running about like a headless chicken. Although, Igbos in the North used to number in millions cummulatively, however their numbers have steadily reduced over the years and right now, far more people are returning to the East. Also, with improvement in communication and internet, many Igbos, especially our youths now prefer to move outside Nigeria to other African countries than to live in the North. Also, the claims that Igbos own this percentage or that percentage of properties/investments in the North may be grossly exaggerated but it is true in some instances. Are you aware that the private university that was attacked by bandits in Kaduna with students kidnapped and some killed, is owned by an Igbo man from Anambra? However, like you said, if after all these warnings over the years about "Aku ruo ulo" they still prefer to invest in enemy territory, then they are on their own! 2 Likes |

SlayerForever: It's people like you that are easy to deceive because you lack access to information. It's people like you that they will tell lgbos own majority of the properties in lagos and abuja and would believe. However i urge to contact a senior director in ministry of lands and find out who owns what. Majority of the landed properties in lagos are owned by yorubas by ratio of 5 to 1. Go to lagos ministry of lands, one yoruba family from oyo owns 862 properties. Just one. Then imagine others .Yorubas from all over the sw and abroad own majority of the properties in lagos. In Abuja, northerners own majority of the properties. Lastly based on cbn reports and bvn. Only 3.4 million nigerians have one million and above irrespective of no of accounts. This includes all nigerians. 51 million own 500,000 and below. Once again incudes all nigerians. Don't believe the hype that every lgbo man outside the east owns a property. In my own village, i can tell u confidently majority don't but have properties in the village |

Again they always believe northerners kill igbos alone during crises .. another fat lie Every crises in the north is always religious... not tribal.. maybe the 66’ crises.. Anytime there’s crises in the north is Islam vs Muslim Even the indigenous Christians are not spared .. even the minorities Islam’s too are not spared .. depend on your location There’s never been crises targeted to igbos alone Funny is that Igbos protect themselves in the north .. and northern miscreant during crises find it hard and difficult to penetrate igbos dominated areas Reason why during crises .. igbos dominated areas are safe heaven for all Christians .. in the location Travel and learn |

Re: Message For Igbos In Northern Nigeria by Nobody: 2:54pm On Jul 05, 2021 |
@OP. I am just laughing at you here. Adversity and fear always make people tell the truth. For years Igbos have lied to the world that Yoruba want to kill them to possess and steal their properies in the SW. Now that shite is real, it is the North you are warning your fellow Igbos about because deep in your heart you know Yorubas are a decent people with no interest in cheating anyone and. Your warning shows that, despite Igbos duplicitous talk against Yorubas, you know those who would comandeer all you have slaved for, over generations, without hesitation and without concern for equity or justice. Yorubas returned all your properties to you after the civil war and welcomed you with open arms when even you SS brothers did not do likewise. Yet you all chose to lie against Yorubas for years and decades. Now, fear is making you confess what you deliberately failed to admit from time immemorial which is that you all know Yorubas are the least of your problem and the most civilized and principled Nigerians you can count on to be fair to you. Yet you chose to lie against them for decades. Now the chicken has come hime to roost. Why did you not give same advice to Igbos in the SW you are now giving Igbos in the North? |
Re: Message For Igbos In Northern Nigeria by Nobody: 3:31pm On Jul 05, 2021 |
Okoroawusa: Exactly. Igbos like the OP are joker who are impractical and don't do reality. Go to Ladipo, OJo, Alaba, Festac and other places in Lagos where literally many thousands of Igbos are trading and you will see people disinterested in Biafra and not about to ditch the lives they have built for any lunacy of Kanu and some frustrated touts in the SE. If Biafra is something all Igbos are ready to go and sacrifice for then why are the millions of young and able-bodied Igbos in the SW and North not downing tools to head to th SE and fight for Biafra? Could the obvious truth be that they are not interested in Biafra because they know the reality of ala Igbo to appreciate they are better and happier where they are? |
