FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTEXT:

Remember that these was an ethnic group that suffered incalculable losses in both human and natural resources during the Nigerian civil war, and a brutal post civil war policy orchestrated by the powers-that-be to seal their fate once and for all... many ethnic groups (particularly the Yorubas) enjoyed massive government patronage in every aspect imaginable... Even the minority ethnic groups that fought on the side of Nigeria also got their rewards for fighting against the Igbos by filling up top Federal positions and civil service jobs previously occupied by Igbos... They further benefited by taking over properties owned by Igbos through the abandoned property laws. The erstwhile Nigerian Leader, General Yakubu Gowon declared a policy of “No Victor, No Vanquished,” but then proceeded to seize the properties of Igbos in Rivers State, Nigeria. Instead of compensating the people of Rivers State for the environmental pollution caused by oil exploration, he decides to compensate them with properties that were legally and rightfully owned by Igbos. Essentially Igbos had to not only start from ground zero again in salvaging their pride byrebuilding, Igbos also had to face stigmatization and mockery from the other tribes that became "beneficiaries" from the Igbo misfortune... The rest of Nigerians including the minority tribes mocked us and NEVER imagined or envisaged that Igbos will rise from the ashes of the war to not only close the gap on them, but also surpass them at some point. Factor in all these very depleting and dehumanizing factors suffered by Igbos, I make bold to assert that no other ethnic group in Nigeria would have pulled off just 1/10th of the Igbo feat and resilience in coming back from absolutely nothing to become a reckoning force once again in such a short time if they faced what we faced

When I use the context of the civil war to clarify the disadvantageous and very limiting circumstance of the Igbos in Nigeria, the usual suspects will accuse Igbos of just crying foul and playing the "victims card" by stirring up memories of the war, some even mock us by splashing pictures of malnourished children suffering from kwashiokor during the war to spite Igbos, yet we brush that off and keep succeeding (even though we have our flaws and imperfections as a people, but who doesn't?).

Ok let me go back to my savage mode and mine any cone headed skulls that will want to quote me abnormally

dumb Afonja slum-dwelling cave man with his stale trolling. u can keep ranting with your weak coping mechanisms.

You’ve defeated the purpose of this wonderful thread by descending to his ignominious level.

Why attack another ethnic group? Why not ignore the mentally unstable fool? I find this thread inspiring and I think a lot of people would do except some ethnicist and paranoid few.

You should have just ignored him instead of permitting him or them to infect and affect you with their negative energies.

Don’t join them in turning this thread into a ‘we vs them’ issue. Celebrate your kiths and kin in peace and stop responding to their heckling.

Their language, tone and font are indicative of one thing. Your success is a threat to them. They can’t stop the glory.

Yet your people are spread all over Nigeria in their millions more than any other ethnic group.

Why don't you all get the hell out of Nigeria and go and live in your tiny landlocked DOT?

You can't keep saying ''we are not one'', yet you find your stinking backside in OTHER peoples' territory.

Why don't you get lost?

And no, you cannot steal the Niger Delta.

Try it, and we will fcking annihilate you.

[s][/s] yet Igbo people are spread all over the world like explorer's

factual facts which is glaring but for the sake of their pull down syndrome, they resort in de- marketing the only true and brave ethnic group.
No ethnic group would have survived what Igbos went through and still over match their pace in all ramifications.. odogwu aburoo guy name

This is the grand father of them all. i still dont know why the east is not celebrating this fellow

Who told you the eat isn't celebrating him.
There are so many renowned people in the east.
They are just normal people who lived or lives quiet lifestyle. You hear more of politicians or political celebrities.

My dear, thanks for the piece you dropped, ignore those making dumb comments on this, it's a pride to celebrate Igbo ingenuity..
Those that think Igbos are after Oil in Non Igbo area of Niger-delta are morons. Igbos make up 45% of Delta state, 10% of Calaba, 5% of Akwaibom, 40% of Porthacort, 10%of Benin. Igbos don't give a dime about non Igbos in Niger delta.
Not even a meter of Igboland will be left for anyone to conquer, we don't leave our brothers. And we can go to war in defense of our mother land.
