Yes, the Southeast has large empty lands. It is even underpopulated due to economic migration.

If that's ur own logic then that's also the case with the south west and north cause they also have large expanse of undeveloped lands and forests.

Southeast is 22 million. Not including those outside the Southeast.

Are you saying there are around 40 million Igbos outside the Southeast?
Population projection means using past Population to simulate future Population growth.
Official Nigerian population projection for the SE says we are 21.7 million. The benchmark used was the 2006 census.
What this means is that people who were counted in the 2006 census (regardless of their ethnicity or where they currently live) are added to get the current projection.
This means in simple English that some of the people who are included in the 21.7 million official figure may not be igbos or may currently live outside the SE.

lagos was
9,113,605 while south east was 16.2 million. However the rate of population growth in lagos is way higher because it grows mostly from immigration while SE grows naturally via birth.
So the 35 million you said is our current population seems quite inflated as it doesn't follow any logical progression from our earliest known census which was less than 4.7 million in 1953.
Our real population at 1 degree of freedom (99% certainty), following our 1953 census would be anywhere between 20 million to 25 million people. And this range includes every living person born by someone who was counted during the 1953 census regardless of where they live now (even those living in U.S currently)

this is what the enemies say about us and you are curiously helping them to echo it.
Truth is Majority of South Easterners currently live in SE (probably much more than 60%), while the remaining less than 40% live both in other regions and abroad. That's one.
Two is that the hausas and Fulani are so many in the SE that they practically have cornered sectors of business. Forex, Meat trading and even some food commodity trading are firmly in the hands of Northerners living in the east currently but nobody ever talks about it. There is no neighbourhood in the east without a Northerner, even if its a gate man or suya man.
They prefer to lie and tell you that it is igbos who are more in their region but reverse is the case. They are more in our region. There are Hausa markets in Enugu (Gariki and new artisan markets).
The reason they tell this lie is because of BIAFRA. The idea is to kill our spirit with subtle lies. That's why Buhari called us dot in a circle, to kill our spirit, without realising or acknowledging that there are similar arrangements of a dot in a circle in South Africa.

I was telling the op the same thing. The population of Northerners living in SE is so big, they even have their markets and control bureau de change business here. But nobody mentions that. People are just interested in tagging igbos 'economic migrants'

If Lagos was 9 million and Southeast was 16 million then your first response means that part of Lagos' 9 million made up the Southeast's 16 million. Do you agree?

If the separation is not peaceful it will happen. All sides should work towards a peaceful split.
The possibility is very low. I expected you to give me examples of where it happened.

The Northerners are not more in the Southeast and will never be. The Southeasterners are the biggest economic migrants in Nigeria and have always been. It's not even close.

There's no need for examples because it's common sense. If the split is peaceful everybody stays where they are. If it's not the greater majority will head home.
