Forget long talk... If Igbos are spread all over Nigeria with high population, they will conquer and settle most of those places with time..

Think before Typing

The same Hausa have already lost some of their land to fulanis.. Fulani don't have ancestral land on their own but they are dominating in the north.



So you are planning to Conquer the Places you settle in

No wonder IPOB were attacking Lagos

Thanks for this information

You're yet to answer my question.... Moreover 60's and now are not the same. I don't support Biafra.

But if their should be war today don't expect it as it was during the 60's. Igbos are scattered all over the world.

They can be launching attacks to Nigeria from other neigh-boring ally countries. Don't even think that South West will be save if another civil war should start. Don't pray for war


Yorubas are also all over the World

So bin any idea of attacking the SW

Forget, 1bo are not organized enough, that niqqur was dreaming.

Btw that's a revelation of what's in the mind of an average 1bo man.

Igbos when nor get history, it was benin that conquered territory but they dont annex it, the conquered territory on paid royalties to the benin kingdom, so when the British invaded benin kingdom most of those territory gained their freedom


Benin and Igala

The Igala even annexed about half of the SE

Igbo”s can expand upwards to Middle Belt states like Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Nassarawa etc.

They should carve out communities in those areas and live there. It will bring development. Those areas have little population with huge land mass. Not good.

I just checked the Nigeria map. Taraba is so huge.


You can only settle peacefully with the consent of the Indigenes there


Before 1956 both Benue and Taraba were part of the East

It was while Azikiwe was busy fighting Awolowo in Lagos that the British took it off Azikiwe

at the same time as taking Kwara and adding it to the North

Go and read the History books

The Attah Of Igala’s Garrison was stationed at Nsukka

You do know that the Igalas and Tivs defeated the Fulani Jihad and sent them Packing

So Igbos chances of defeating them in War and taking over by force are Nil

Even as you want an Independent country?

Are you ever bothered about the east tiny landmass ?

5 million is just too much for such area talk more of 50 million

Lagos is smaller than Anambra yet accommodates close to 20 million people comfortably with more space for expansion, Igbo land starts from igbanke area in Edo state to Igbo side of rivers state. By this reality, Lagos state will comfortable go ten times into Igbo Igbo land, so what's your point? You said Igbo is 50 million, multiply Lagos population by ten, that will be roughly 200 million yet with more space for expansion, meanwhile, remember that Igbos are good in building high-rise residential building, so quit such argument

I put it this way that the Hausa are the most sophisticated tribe in Nigeria.

You will be amazed knowing about their way of life, culture, language and writing (traditional writing)

If not for lack of education by most of it population, I believe the Hausa language would have been the official language of Nigeria,no tribe comes close to the Hausa (I'm not an Hausa btw)

While their ancestors were busy conquering and expanding territory, ours down south were busy taking alcohol and fvckin.

How come they never saw the need of expanding ?

This mistake will hurt the south in about 300 years from now and here's how.

The IBO are close to 50 million and occupying a landmass less than half the size of borno, what happens in 300 years from now ?

THERE WILL BE NO SPACE TO EVEN BREATH IN RHE EAST.

typing....
your facts?

By the next 300years, civilization might have reached even the most remote part of the earth.
World population, especially in the cities will start aging.
By then birth rate may not exceed two children per woman.
By then, there will be strong campaign for environmental conservation due to climate change.
World literacy will reach significant height.
Poverty will be very low.
By then, most of the low income country will become middle|high income countries.
There will be strong campaign for tree planting, especially in residential areas.
Tech will be superb.

Well you guys should retake Kwara, Benue and Taraba back then. Probably the natural boundaries separating the North from the South was River Benue and River Niger.

We know the 1bos see empty cheetbeater.

But you're over hyping the tiv and igala , the British helped them by putting a stop to the fulani expansion, that's it.

So they were conquering and acquiring land? What good did that do them today? Did it turn them into Dubai? Did it make them become Germany? Na land we go chop?

Japan is a very small country that has 150 million people, but Japan is 3rd richest country in the world. Even a very small country like Japan with 150 million people is exporting rice because they produce too much

Switzerland is just the size if Abia and Enugu States put together with a population of less than 10 million.
But Switzerland GDP is almost as large as that of Nigeria


So its never about land, its about utilising whatever amount of land you have to be productive.

You talk true for this one.

The Tiv even defeated the British in Battle from their Rock fortresses

using their poisoned Arrows

It was a Peace agreement that put the Tiv under the British

and the Fulani Jihad had given up on the Igala before the British Arrived


Because of the cooperation and Stoic Resistance of the Ebira, Jukun, Tiv, Idoma Igala and Okun Yoruba alliance led by the Atta of Igala against the Fulani Jihad there is not a Single Emirate in the Confluence Area

The British with their Canons helped them to increase the severity of the beating given to the Jihadists and increased the distance between them

The Closest Emirate to the Confluence Area is in Nasarawa and the next one is in Suleja

So you have a very good idea how far the Jihadists had to flee

Azikiwe was too busy fighting Awolowo to see all that despite the fact that Awolowo pointed it all out to him

I don't know the Biafra land you speak about .. isreal landmass is 20,770kms while that of Biafra is less than 15.000 kms with a population of over 40 million people, Nigeria is a blessing to you igbos.

Na WA ooo. Small land with huge naturals resources. Have you not heard of skyscrapers?
You have the resources to build smart cities. But people like you who have been cajoled to demean their ancestors will not appreciate their hard work of locating a very wonderful space in Nigeria.
Check Israel with small land and see what they have done with it.
The first thing to self destruction is to look down on yourself.
