Igbos have no problem with Hausas ... fulanis are the people we want to give 5* central Africa republic treatment

Which southern Minorities ? LMAO

When you have problem with fulani, you have problem with hausa down to middle belt and even yorubas because while igbos were busy propagating toxic hatred, the Fulani were solidifying their relationship with all tribes. Tell me 5 Tribes that loves igbo? I'll mention 20 that will go to war because of hausa fulani

You're deluded, solidify relationship with who and who...fulanis are currently the most hated tribes in Africa now not even Nigeria go and check what is happening in mali, and it's getting worst day by day...if they take it to full blow war with the igbo thinking they have good relationship with this and that they won't live to tell what will happen to them.

Smh same Nigeria that no body could fly plane because all the pilots were igbos that they had to be Egyptians ?

Make una talk another thing

This time it would be Fulani vs igbos ... central Africa republic would be child's play

The bolded confirms igbo domination....which most Nigerians especially northerners and southern minority fear most. Pre independence, civil service of northern nigeria was peopled mainly by ibos , which make them feel like lords and eventually lead to resentments. Ibos too felt bad when Ahmadu bello started replacing erstwhile ibo public sevants with new graduates of northern extration...they mocked his death because of that further infuriatung northerners ...who then decided enough was enough with the 1967 coup......

Pre Independence British employed based on merits ...so it's not igbos fault they dominated

Early 1900 Hausas dominated British employees did igbos complain

If u dominate igbos by merit we would never complain that's our way of life equity and justice

People have problem with fulani herdmen, even in the North, they are doing everything to eliminate the criminal ones among them. Fulani are not the most hated tribe in Nigeria, you should know answer to this already.

Yes but ibos started feeling like they own the states.....even ibos wont sit by and allow outsiders to ride them...When northerners started going to school and became qualified its only natural and politically correct to place them in the civil service....which caused resentments from ibos and rightly so....they were openly jubilating Ahmadu bellos death IN THE NORTH....coupled with the fact that NO SINGLE IBO POLITICAL LEADER WAS KILLED IN 1966......If all these happened to ibos they will feel exactly the same way other are feeling about the ibos now

FYI even till date you still find ibos and yorubas in northern sates civil service , hospitals and universities to bridge the gap where northerners dont have enough competencies.....

In 1959....Azikwe went with fulanis.....he got ceremonial president
In 1979....ibos went with Shagari.....and got ekweme vice President, even Ojukwu supported fulanis
In 1999....ibos went with fulanis to impose Obj...

You don't understand the true definition of victims. The Nigeria-Biafra War and its after effects is the foundation of the political and economic marginalization Ndigbo in Nigeria and the root cause of Nigeria being a FAILED STATE which is affecting everybody - including the regions and ethnic groups that fought against Biafra.

Stating this truth over and over again is not playing victim. From the May 1967 state creation by Gowon which deliberately carved out Igbo areas into the new states to the post-war centralization of our commanding heights of Nigeria's and deliberate government policies to economically castrate defunct Eastern Region. Articulating these grievances is not playing victim but stating reality. The average Igbo man is not asking for handout or special treatment. I am curious, HOW ARE WE BLAMING OTHER TRIBES FOR OUR WOES?

"Igbos daily alienate other ethnic nationalities that should have been their allies by insulting and name-calling them thereby driving those that should have been a natural partner to the other edge"[i][/i]

So Ndigbo are the only one that alienate other ethnic nationalities by insulting and name-calling? Other ethnic nationalities don't engage in such practices. You don't ascribe a behavior exhibited by every one to one ethnic group, exclusively. That's double-standard of morality. If because of that, other ethnic nationalities refuse to align with Ndigbo to free themselves from this colonial imprisonment called Nigeria, then we don't need such allies. He that is down fears no fall. We are already down in post-Biafra Nigeria. We will all continue to suffer until Nigeria kills all of us.

Come to think of it, you are more worried by the insults and name-calling of Ndigbo than the ethnic killings in the North in the last 50 years where thousands of southerners -particularly Ndigbo have bee killed and properties destroyed. How many non-Igbos have been killed in Alaigbo compared to Northern and Western Nigeria?

So who was in alliance between 1966 and 1979 with Fulanis? Under which alliance - Igbo/Fulani or Yoruba/Fulani did the policies and laws which destroyed Nigeria's federation and enthroned Hausa-Fulani domination of Nigeria occur?

Stop lying on social media. When and where did Bello started replacing Igbos in Northern civil service that led to resentment.

The coup dealt with corruption. None of the Igbo politicians were responsible for the corruption of the 1965 Western Governors crisis. Thousands of people were killed in the west as the region fell into mass political violence in 1965. It was northern politicians that created the crisis by trying take away the people’s choice in Awolowo and wanted to remove him and put in their puppet Akintola. You people either do not know history or you purposely leave out the events of 1965. The 1966 coup didn’t happen for no reason. Now, hindsight being 20-20 it would been best that Akintola is put in and the charges of treason remained on Awolowo so that the Fulani could execute him and Yorubas would have decide if they wanted war against the North.

Between a SAN and a just graduated law student, who is likely to win a case? Igbos have never experienced war of magnitude that Yoruba and hausa and Fulani have seen. How do you expect igbo to win. They lack strategy, their best advancement/Invasion was led by Yoruba brain box and after he was killed, they were lost and defeated. You can't compare igbo with hausa, Yoruba, even igala nupe and Bini in term of military strategy, you are below them.

Again, you lied.

Biafra lost the War because Ojukwu completely failed to Understand that Benin and Lagos were not Part of his Biafran Territory and to add insult to injury he actually sent his Biafran Army to Conquer both Regions.

Both the Midwest and Western Regions had to fight for their Survival

Ojukwu wanted to be Emperor of Southern Nigeria just read the letter he sent Banjo, Col Banjo could clearly see that Ojukwu was doing an “Afonja” on him

That was why Ojukwu lost the War.
