LordVoldermort:
The land is Nigerian land if you want to leave Nigeria then 'leave' Nigeria, travel abroad and establish your Biafra elsewhere like America Australia or Israel

Stop trying to steal Nigerian land

Our discussion was about why Nigeria doesn't want Igbos exist, and I said it's because of ND oil, not really Igbos in particular. That brought us to this point of discussion.

Bookhub:
I am new here as a member,though i have being a guest for years before signing in,i can tell you the effort and energy people here put towards discouraging igbos from seceding is out of this world no words can describe some have turned it to their Main occupation,it surprises me that out 500 ethnic group that make up Nigeria how come this on ethnic group is that important,people are willing to kill,Maim and even sacrifice their lives to ensure igbos stay in Nigeria..

This makes me wonder will Nigerians perish if igbos leave?will heaven fall?no brain can really comprehend the love/hate behind this phenomena,even in real life bring up the topic watch how people will argue and give you one million points why igbos should remain in Nigeria i notice this arguments take long..the last time i had such argument it was with a Yoruba muslim he nearly cried because he couldn't convince me.. since then i have taken my mind off having such arguments..

Can you name one country in the world where they have gotten independence the way it's been done in the south east?


There is no country in the world where the citizens will just rise up and say they wanna leave, there are steps to be taken in all this.

Maybe you should go and read and learn from the Scottish.

You can't be screaming Biafra while you keep voting parties and leaders that believes in One Nigeria.

Viltron:
Don't flatter yourself, nobody gives a dam about Ibo. The Ibo people are the least hospitable people in Nigeria, they're not friendly towards other tribes, and they are too tribalistic amongst so many negative vices.

Now, no government in the whole world will fold its hands and watch one section of the country secede. Even a southern President would find it difficult initiating the process.

Not true.
The non Igbo speaking part of Eastern region fell to FG forces very early in the war, Igbos were willing to go with just Igboland, but FG kept fighting until the Igbo heartland caved in.

If they only want non Igbo speaking groups in Eastern region, they would have stopped once they had captured those parts.

The FG doesn't want Igboland to go because of Domino effect.
Once Igboland secedes, the rest of the ethnicities in the tower of Babel will want out too.

Hellonearth007:


Catalonia had independence without war.
This is not a stone age.
Why the fear of letting igbos go.
It's a simple question. Forget this your reasoning.

Just tell us why u don't want igbos to go simple

OP, STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF.

KANU WAS OFFERED THE 5 IGBO STATES IN 2017 TO TAKE AS 'BIAFRA' AND HE REFUSED, SAYING HE WANTS THE NIGER DELTA REGION WHERE NIGERIA'S OIL AND GAS FIELDS SIT.

IF HE HAD TAKEN THE 5 IGBO STATES YOU WOULD ALL BE IN YOUR BIAFRA BY NOW.

BUT THEIR REAL AIM IS TO ANNEX THE NIGER DELTA SO THAT THE IGBO ELITE CAN OWN ALL THE NATION'S OIL AND GAS.

NIGERIA OF COURSE SAYS A BIG FAT NO.

THAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM, NOT THAT ANYONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT IGBOS STAYING OR LEAVING.

THEY WANT TO LEAVE WITH THE FAMILY GOLD, CARING NOT IF OTHER NIGERIANS, INCLUDING MILLIONS OF CHILDREN STARVE AND PERISH AS A RESULT.

SELFISH GREEDY NARCISSISTS WHO WILL NEVER TELL YOU THEIR REAL OBJECTIVE.

Newton85:
Nobody called you back, you delusional scoundrel. Rather, your wicked ancestors were disgracefully demolished in the war, which was a payback for how they killed many of Isaac Adaka Boro's Niger Delta Republic Ijaw secessionists, only to later dubiously declare their own Biafla not long after. No one is begging you, just tell your people to migrate back enmasse to Eboeland and stop trooping out in their thousands to other parts of the country every damned day!

So much hate and bile.

Gratefulheart1:


Oil business wasn't booming during the civil war era. Gowon just didn't want the country go into pieces under him. That would have meant he was weak or put him on the wrong side of history.

Right now, years after the war, the country is a contraption and everyone knows that the forced marriage isn't working and not likely going to work. All the abuses on the North from the south etc, assuming there isn't oil, north would have left voluntarily.
Disintegration this time around would have worked with no war. Assuming the oil belonged to the North, this country would have ceased to exist.

The motive that fought against secession then is quite different from now.

vital:

Why not let the igbos go? Answer a simple question.

Viltron:
am I holding ibos? I personally do not care whether you people leave or stay.

Igboid:

You are just running around in circles.
You claimed NIGERIA couldn't let Igbos go because of Niger Delta and it's oil.
I showed you that NIGERIA had captured Niger Delta so early in the war, yet fought for additional 1 year plus to capture Igboland, and here you are changing goal posts again.

LordVoldermort:


First of all there were people living in America before the whites came
There were people living in Australia before whites came...
There were people living in Canada before the whites came...
There were people living in Norway before the Vikings came...
There were people living in Israel before the Jews came...
If they gave you visa to go any of these countries you would rush there with the speed of light, you might even apply for citizenship there

The same is true of Nigeria, just because your ancestors accidentally discovered a piece of land doesn't mean it belongs to you for all eternity, if you can't defend your land then you forfeit it, Igbos were defeated by the British and later defeated by Nigeria...

Stop claiming what isn't yours

PROUDIGBO:


Your argument is laughable and lame!

We’re talking of the original/indigenous inhabitants of a land, and this fool is going off on a tangent, yapping about American-Indians and the invading Brits! You see the way your diseased mind in configured: ‘might is right....we invaded and defeated you, hence your land belongs to us’! This coming from a supposed black African whose ancestors were overwhelmed by superior military power and shipped off into slavery! You know we could also use your lame argument to justify colonialism!?

Dude, just like Yugoslavia, The USSR and even the mighty Roman Empire are no more, but the nations that made up their component parts still exist to this day, so your useless ‘one Nigeria’ can disintegrate tomorrow, but Igboland will still exist...exist on the same geographical space it’s found today!

The fact you lay so much importance on a colonial creation, over and above its component parts that existed long before the British came, says all that needs to be said about your pathetic, house-nigger, slavish mentality! No wonder you can’t envision life outside of ‘one Nigeria’! You reek of insecurity and fear!

Just listen to yourself: ‘if you can’t defend your land then you forfeit it’! You must think we’re still living in the stone ages! The little Bakassi your pussy-assed ‘one Nigeria’ dashed to Cameroon with their tail between their legs, what does it say of you miserable lot!? Assholes that Britain helped win the uncivil Biafran war are now here wanting to act like Hercules!

Bonesbreaker:
who offered it you go wake up begin imagine stuff

SIRRITE:
Watch closely it is the igbos that do relocate from their town and community to different town and communities to live with others, very few travel to igbos land to live. I think the igbos leave with others.

Xscape1993:
I laugh ooo. Every region in Nigeria is blessed. We have only need sound leaders not rulers that will annest all these human and natural resources.

Bookhub:


What if the sound leader is Igbo will thru give him the chance? There were the problem lies..

Bookhub:


But igbos packed away in I967 but you fought them to come back isn't it?
