Yes, at subsistence level for family consumption

the op should know that cocoa is produced in abia and IMO state..IMO state was once one of the largest producer of rubber in nija after sapele, there is no crop produced in nija that don't grow in the east,just that the easterners abandoned farming.again Onitsha has one of the largest iron ore reserves in nija.cement was first produced in nija at ebonyi nkalagu but was killed delebrately via politics.
so no part of nija that is not capable of making it on its own,just greed and myopic leaders.

funkyibodude:
@op, your topic should be 5 reasons why Biafrans would never succeed in their agitation and not Igbos. Not all Igbos are in support of Biafra

as a nija deltan am in full support of the igbos and I believe they will make a great nation. but what I can't understand is how come the yorubas are the ones cryimg more than the berived? does it mean u yorubad love the igbos more and pretend about it? even the hausas i expected to be more jittery are more confidence than u cowards...thst showd thst u yoribas re the parasites on nija...no appologies.

Jesumed:
As patriotic Nigerians,we should'nt shut our eyes to sensitive issues that bother our nation. It is expected that everyone plays an active role in the socio-political activities of the country. This is where Seun Osewa, founder of Nigeria's largest online site, disappointed Nigerians when he threatened to ban all comments regarding a very sensitive issue staring us in the eyes- the sudden uprising and agitation for Biafra. Although the struggle for Biafra had been a low-key affair for a pretty long time(perhaps it never died totally since the civil war ended), it suddenly became an upheaval after the former president Goodluck Jonathan lost his second presidential election bid. The Igbos were more frustrated when Jimi Agbaje, the 2015 governorship candidate of Lagos State lost to Ambode, despite the massive support and loyalty they showed him. Then the PDP zoned their presidential candidate for 2019 to the north, and Buhari shocked the world when he publicly declared not to favour the zones that didn't vote for him. All these events prompted the Igbos who had been initially chanting ''GEJ till 2019!'' to suddenly change their song to ''Biafra or I die''.

Should we keep quiet on this matter as Seun Osewa suggests and allow this agitation become another menace like Shiite or Boko Haram?I think not. Even Professor Wole Soyinka recently admonished the federal government not to handle this matter with levity. So I think Seun Osewa, who has veto power and whose decision is final on Nairaland, should have a rethink.

That said, the agitation for Biafra might only end up being a futile once again owing to these five reasons:

1. Igbos cannot do without Nigeria

It is an inarguable fact that Igbos are found in every part of Nigeria, especially in Lagos, engaging in one form of business activity or the other. Their business activities and tax payment in Lagos are partly responsible for the high GDP and development of Lagos, hence Igbos take pride in referring to Lagos as no man's land. But the question is; why would Igbos choose to develop another region, leaving their own underdeveloped? Lagosians have told Igbos to leave Lag and return to the east, and see if Lagosians would not survive as the Igbos ridiculously claim.But are they ready to leave the zoo and return to their neglected village to develop it?

2. Igbos do not love one another

If there's any nation in Nigeria where inhabitants do not love one another, it is the Igbo nation. Abakaliki are not considered real Igbos. Those from Enugu cannot marry those from Anambra. Generally, they find it difficult to intermarry and interelate. As if that is not enough, they also have a set of people they refer to as ''OSU'' or ''outcasts''. They don't marry or relate with such people in any way.They hate the OSU like devils, yet this OSU are also a part of the Igbo tribe expected to be a part of Biafra if actualised. Now imagine people who hate one another fighting for a ''united'' nation. Just imagine this: Nnamdi Kanu is an OSU! What happens to Biafra then?

3. Igbo elites do not want Biafra

While some Igbo PDP member are busy strategizing on how to reclaim Nigeria in 2019, some jobless Igbo youths are busy endangering their own lives in some ill organised, seemingly peaceful protests.What's Okorocha saying about Biafra? Is Akpabio ready to vacate Nigeria's senate to make Biafra actualised? Even Ojukwu had since affirmed before his death that Biafra is a forgotten issue, hence he contested for Nigeria's presidency and his wife Bianca, is now an ambassador for Nigeria and his son is now a member of the Fed Hose of Reps. Are all the Igbos appointed by the federal government ready to resign for the sake of Biafra- Chris Ngige and the others?

4. Igbos are tactically chivvying other tribes into their struggle

Igbos should just restrict their agitation for Biafra to the southeast and leave out other tribes, especially the oil-producing states. The south-southerners are not totally willing to be a part of Biafra, same as the middle belt, but the Igbos are trying to entice them into this struggle. Such tactics are likely going to end up being fruitless, after slowing down the entire process.

5. Wise Igbos know Biafra is no solution to their problem

The questions Igbos should ask themselves are: why exactly do we need Biafra? Will Biafra solve our problems? How will Biafra affect the poor Igbo masses? Igbos claim they need Biafra because they suffer marginalisation from other tribes. Have they held their governors and reps accountable for the poor governance and embezzlement of funds in their states? If Biafra is actualised, won't they still fight over leadership, and is that a guarantee for producing accountable leaders? Even the marginalisation they talk about; isn't that only for the elites who are not complaining?How did GEJ's emergence as president affect the poor masses of Bayelsa? Some wise Igbos know this, hence they don't support Biafra.

hmm I smell Biafra fever...the Yoruba's asked d Igbo's to leave and they are doing just that. is it not stupidity off ur part in coming up with such thrash u call a tjread? is it not hypocrisy from u yorubas by loosing sleep over the people u asked to leave ur region and are prepared to do just that.? and dont u think you are being myopic in ur writeup?

mumu go and die..shame on u yorubas

jarkata:
I have been pondering over this question for a very long time, even before I got transfer to the east.
The fact still remains dat Ibo people are good people with good mind and they are accommodating.
Their industrious spirit actually boost my morale.
An average Yoruba, isekiri,or urobo man would rather confine or believe in Hausa/fulani man than Ibo man.
Nigeria government should allow this people to have their biafra , Nigeria is not united with one mind since 1914, do you know how many Ibo people have lost their lives in northern Nigeria due to religious crises even b4 d Boko Haram insurgency, burning of churches and killing of Christians in the north. I could remember during my NYSC in yobe state, five of us were posted to d same school ,2 Yorubas ,3 Ibos and one idoma boy called ' bobo' by name. Despite d fact dat d proprietor of the school didn't see the wall of even primary school he instructed d principal to reject d 3 Ibo's, in my mind I said why ,are we not one Nigeria? Since dat time I kept asking myself WHY IBO PEOPLE HAVE MORE HATERS FROM OTHER TRIBES .with d kind of mindset I was having towards Ibo people before now I realized Ibo land is one of the most peaceful land to stay, u hardly experience mayhem and pandemonium we do suffer in some area in Lagos like harm robbery, ' agbero ' problem e.t.c. I have been staying in Aba for d past seven month, there is no presence of govt. here, bad road everywhere even d major federal government road, aba to porthercourt is nothing to right home about. government should extend their tentacles in d level of capital project to the east, dat is why they are clamouring for biafra. though Their state government is also corrupt ,I see no reason why t. orji will spend eight years as a governor in abia and no sign of democracy Atal, he still emerged as a senator again na WA oooo .d fact still remains day, abia state received more allocation from federal govt than many states in south west and north yet no significant improvement here. I don't know of other states in the east. wait first, let assume t.orji becomes d president of Nigeria in 2019 WHAT MIRACLE CAN HE PERFORM.

op this the more reason I say Nigeria's are jealous of the Igbo's....as far as am concerns they are the most peaceful people in nija..tje northernas that are responsible for nearly fourty thousand deaths im nija you didmt bother to raise such threads regarding how i hated the hausas or too afraid to right about the fulani who has committed murders in every part of nija...but you people only has the guts to hate an igbo man making his money in ur town while u lazy about.
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE.......JELOUSY.

Real2020:
You are a special fool.The Judge discharged him of all criminal charges. DSS know the ruling was expected that's why they are going to the High court to drum up frivolous terrorism charges. Typical Nigerian Agency with carelessness; they brought criminal charges to the Magistrate Court without evidence, when they realize this will not hold water, they went into confusion mode and began to hatch bogus terrorism charges. That also will be thrown out tomorrow as baseless by the High court! Any further attempt to hold him beyond the confines of the court rulings will be resisted by IPOB and International community will side IPOB wholeheartedly.

BTW, stay away from a movement that has absolutely nothing to do with you. Focus on your Odua Republic.

pls tell d busy body.

Djicemob:
I noticed how APC sympathizers on here are making statements like "lets look forward and not backward" because this news tends to expose APC for what they accuse PDP of.Imagine if it was PDP that was indicted like this,am sure nobody is gonna care about the "sauce" and go all in on PDP with statesment like "they are thieves and they looted the country dry for election purpose"

Why is everybody suddenly transferring their anger to the "sauce" and asking us to look forward?

my brother that's hypocrisy et al

Rawani:
Despite the rape of our commonwealth by Jonathan and Dasuki et al to fund the PDP presidential campaign at the cost of thousands of lives, this shameless ekpa still has the stomach to insult our sensibilities?

Were the PDP's hands tied all through their 16 years in power?

Why did the PDP which took power from 1999 fail to investigate the past administrations, but is waiting for a party that it lost power to 16 years later to do so?

No doubt, Jonathan himself will account for his trespasses.

the condition tinubu and co left osun,rivers,imo and edo states are pleasing to your eyes and the moneu they squanderd are they not peoples money?.you turned a blind eye cos they are apc and yet ur saint bubu approved another laggese called bailout which you know is money for the boys and yet u kept quite.

ovation232:
Jonathan is not beyond arrest if he is found culpable.He was really a let down to Nigerians.We kept our common wealth in his hands and he closed his eyes to d frittering away of meagre resources.This is not about tribe or any rubbish some nonentity spills here.It is about lack of supervision or incompetence,or both. I want only reasonable pple to react to my comment and not some hopeless Okada riders mostly from Afikpo and Abakaliki calling themselves and their deranged leader Nnamdi Kanu.

i.recorgnize a haggard looking yam farmet from ekiti wnen i see one.for ur info aran oko the pdp is not ssying hes above arrest but are reminding ur apc saints tuat the probe must start from 1984.simple!

Kayode Sesan

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday appealed to past Nigerian leaders who had stolen the country blind to voluntarily return their loots in the interest of the nation.

This is coming as SIGNAL exclusively reported in a tweet on Saturday that former Managing Director of Nigeria’s Petroleum Product Marketing Company (PPMC), Prince Haruna Momoh has returned the sum of $400 million to Nigeria’s treasury. Presidency sources who did not want to be named told SIGNAL on Saturday that the former boss of PPMC was still undergoing investigations for illegal crude oil swap deals running into hundreds of millions of dollars.

Buhari made the appeal in Kaduna while addressing the All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters and other youths at the first edition of Kaduna Annual Music Festival.

Buhari who spoke to supporters in English Language, before addressing the crowd in Hausa language, blamed the past government of the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) for mismanaging the country’s treasury when appreciable revenue was generated from sales of crude oil.

“We are not fighting anybody but we are appealing to them to return the stolen funds so that we can development electricity, roads and create jobs,” he said.

According to him, the PDP for 16 years mismanaged the country’s commonwealth, which created widespread under-development and abject poverty that required creative thinking and patience as his administration strives to revamp the economy to create employment, generate wealth and tackle the security challenges facing the nation. The President however promised to judiciously utilise government funds, but said Nigerians must endure the temporary difficulties of the country’s economic reality, in order to enjoy the benefits.

He noted that a creative approach was required to revamp the economy because of the colossal damage it suffered in the previous dispensation. He however lauded the Kaduna state government for promoting creative sector, at the same time urged citizens to leverage on the opportunities provided by the government.

Members of a Shiite Muslim sect on Saturday attempted to assassinate Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, in Zaria, Kaduna State, the Nigerian Army said.

The Army Chief was reportedly on his way to Army graduation at Nigeria Army Depot when he was attacked.

At least 7 people are feared dead from the attack.

The clash involved the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff and the Shiites.

Gunshots were heard as people scampered for safety and fight between El-Zakzaky’s Shiite Group and Army intensified.

912:
If true it's a welcome development because some selfish fatcats have robbed this country blind all the name of subsidy payments. Some of them even bring in vessels half filled with water and claim subsidy payments from the government. Wickedness in high places

if you call it a welcome development then tje apc has to appologise to the former administration for inciting nigerians against the last regime over a policy they latter embraced.

midolian:
Tell your tompolo to stop running, let us see if he is really as powerful as you say.

And maybe u need to be reminded that this is not a clueless administration

we are still watching your generalsimos december deadline on boko haram

goodlifehyd:
Stupidity is when you criticize a government that's investing such amount which will provide employment, generate funds when successful and lots more but you here protecting Dasuki who spent $6B dollars doing nothing. Awon oniranu oshi

atimes i wonder the if amala consumption has a negative impact on human brains.honestly the way u yorubas jump into threads is quite revilling on the amala hypothesis.

idupaul:
It's 9 weeks already .... clearly the longest ever

and yet the occupy nija group are still at sleep, the labour has suddenly gone dumb, the media houses are dodging their heafs and the sai baba group swallowing their shame with impunity....no opposition to speak amd even if they speak , lie muhammed will ask seun and co to invoke the decree101 sorry rule 9.
we are in trouble.

dapperman:
tompolo will be arrested and nothing will happen. U will carry peoples money and still be forming militancy. They will arrest him very soon. Make him no honour the invite make him see. Nonsense!

ok oo mr jack kayode bauwa make sure you lead the squard.

obiremy:
Cameroonian security agents have arrested a Boko Haram top shot known as Suleiman Shehu aka Naira.


He was arrested on Thursday in Double near Mora, Cameroon.

News of his arrest was broken by Cameroonian journalist and blogger, Bisong Etahoben.According to him,normally when such a high BH is arrested, he is taken to YAOUNDE for debriefing and eventually handed over to Nigerian govt.

The journalist also reported that Niger is to hand over 457 identified Boko Haram insurgents held in three detention centres in Niamey, Kolo and Kutukale to Nigerian authorities.

pls dont send him to nija ooo. buhari will put him back to circulation.

dapperman:
says who? So tompolo will fight the whole of FG and win? Let him not show up this time. He will be declared wanted and arrested and nothing will happen.

this is how you bragged with boko haram from the comfort of your room only to end up with your army begging tuem to surrender.

Eziachi:
What has independent got to do with witnessing a war? Who is fighting who?
What war has the Scottish, Catalonia, East Timor, Taiwan or Tibet witnessed before the quest for freedom?
What war did Nigeria witnessed before they asked their independent from Britain? Shut your mouth if you don't have any more excuses, it is not a crime not to speak at all.

i wonder why are the yorubas getting worked up becos of biafra.this are the people that call igbos parasites and ask igbos to leave their region.the same yorbas has floated more anti biafran thread than any other tribe.even the hausas are not even fidgeting the way the yorubas are.
The question is what do you stand to lose if tue landlock region like you call them go theif way?..wjat is your business if they cant feed themselves? the biafran agitation has exposef you yorubas as buncu of loud mouthed people who are too artificial on all ramifications of life with no mind of theirs.
