What exactly is the problem the igbos have with yoruba? Why can't they let us be without blaming us for not letting them go? The average yoruba person supports a united Nigeria because what the igbos fail to see while standing we have seen while sitting.


Biafra is another south sudan in the making. It will be filled with crisis between the igbo and minorities hereby leading to a civil war that could go on for decades. No country wants to share a border with a destabilized biafra because of refugee and humanitarian crisis thay will arise. The ikwere's and anioma's have already made it clear they are not igbos. They finally figured out the plan by the igbos to dominate them because of their oil. A united Nigeria is what the average Igbo man needs to thrive as we can see with present realities. The igbos success are recorded in the south west and north mostly. There is nothing to fall back on in igbo land because of the unproductive nature of the region. It will be a huge mistake if they think the region will thrive as a country cos they need the Yoruba's and hausa-fulanis to build a robust economy. A word is enough for the wise. Biafra is not the solution.

I have only been to Kano on a brief stop over without exploration but Nigerian cities are generally centered on the major roads. Amaechi tried in giving D-Line area of Port Harcourt the best inner city roads in the East but that is just 2% to 5% of the city. Most Governors need to visit D-Line and catch a glimpse of how it should be done but 70% of inner streets in Port Harcourt are not paved.

Abagworo:
Uyo is no different from what you alleged about Northern cities. So if you think Uyo is good then Kano is better. Only a handful of cities in Nigeria have majority good inner streets above 50% . Maybe Owerri, Abuja and Enugu. Port Harcourt is bad as well with over 70% untarred inner streets.

Deadlytruth:
I disagree that Yorubas initiated the coup. One thing that was very clear was that both Ifeajuna (the ac notual arrowhead of the coup) and Nzeogwu had tremendous reverence and respect for Awolowo. Nwobosi (the Ibadan axis commander of the coup) recently granted a press interview in which he declared that among all the leading politicians back then (i.e. Balewa, Bello, Zik, Awolowo, Okpara, Akintola, and Okotie-Eboh) only Awolowo could not be classified as a mediocre hence the original plan of himself, Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu was to kill all those directly and indirectly involved in Awolowo's imprisonment and then free Awolowo and forcefully install him as the prime minister whether he liked it or not. Don't forget that Ifeajuna schooled in UI which was the first University in Nigeria and established by Awolowo. Nzeogwu was a no nonsense and 100% detribalized and ascetic army officer who was disgusted by the governing style of the coalition between Bello, Balewa, Zik, Okotie-Eboh and Akintola, so much that only in Awolowo he saw an excellent alternative. Why those young military men were so convinced of Awolowo remains a puzzle however. So it was clear that it was not really a Yoruba coup but a patriotic coup in conception but tribalized by Ifeajuna at execution stage.

Deadlytruth:
I have never heard or read an Anioma person claim Edos killed them in the War. Only SE Igbos make this claim thus it reeks of mischief and falsehood. Biafran soldiers actually started their bloodletting from Benin on those who supported the openly declared neutrality. Such were tortured, killed, raped (if female) because they were Northerners' friends according to Biafra Soldiers.

You obviously are ignorant of Edo culture and value system to be comparing it with Yoruba or even any other tribe in Nigeria. Edo, yes, has aversion for Igbo because of their war aggression on Benin. Edos don't joke with their royal pride as a kingdom, so anything that threatens to undermine their cultural heritage is not tolerated at all. Edo fought itself out of western Region because they could not stomach having Benin their spiritual capital being under Ibadan admistration wise. Same reason why we detest anything biafra as it would place Enugu as capital over Benin. That will be too unacceptable! Politically we flow more with yorubas because we share the same realistic ideology unlike Igbos who ignore reality and fantasize about an idealistic one Nigeria. But remember that Imo state too has always drifted away from mainstream Igbo political leaning towards realistic politicking so much now that APC (assumed Yoruba party) rules it by winning transparent election, and that does not make them Yorubas.

Nzeogwu was not even really the coup leader. His name only came to stick on it due to his own unique bravery and genuinely nationalistic intents for the coup. The real leader of the coup was Ifeajuna from today's SE. There was also a Yoruba man among them and they all worked together to kill mostly innocent men, women and unborn children. There was no Edo man in that evil plot. Edos and Edoids generally don't believe in shedding innocent blood especially of outsiders, and that was why David Ejoor never fancied the idea of a coup. So why should Edos and Edoids have allowed themselves to, in the name of protecting Igbos, share in the consequences of a bloodshed they did not participate in? It does not make sense. After all Enahoro was jailed by igbos in collusion with Hausas. Edos associate based on ideology hence Enahoro was first an ally of Zik on sensing his level of education but later had to abandon Zik and move over to Awo's side when he discovered that Zik was not of a stable character. The Jan 1966 coup and Biafra war were all between Hausa, Yorubas and Igbos. Edos and Edoids had no business in them. In fact they declared neutrality which the Federal forces respected but which Biafra dishonoured. If it were a Yoruba army that invaded Benin while ojukwu did not, Enahoro would have joined Ojukwu to flush them out and massacre them. Home interest first before any other.
It is in the national archives that Ifeajuna fired Okotie-Eboh but left Zik who actually was his boss in the crime of fraternizing with the north. We have not forgiven.

And to be candid we see Igbos as same of the same with the North since they've always aligned more with Hausa-Fulani against the South and more than any other Southern group. We see them as more positively disposed to Hausa-Fulanis and sharing their political value systems than with the South. They may quarrel and kill one another but they soon make it up and come to alliance again. But we find it irritating. So we don't like that North-centric value system in Igbos.

Abagworo:
You are definitely a classless girl from all indications. No woman with good home training will come up here to commit all forms of abomination and above all insult a man obviously older, more educated and better experienced than you. You should learn to listen while the wise men discuss so that you earn some wisdom.

Abagworo:
Abia State University Teaching Hospital, Aba. One of the most underrated. It was built by Imo State people of old alongside Abia State University Uturu and Imo Airport Ngor/Okpala with contributions by the citizens of the State.

Adaure4ever:
Why can't you people stop giving attention to these ikwerres or whatever they call themselves? Whats wrong with you guys?
I don't want them to be part of the Igbo race, let them stay on their own and stop giving those "Rags" an undeserved attention.

The Police should start arresting everybody that is wearing a Chelsea Jersey on suspicion of being a criminal...



But I wonder if the suspects are Igbos or Ndi Ugwu?

His father died of recent, and we from imo never argues he is one of us, if you can't digest the argument I believe others will, have backup mine and do the needful to yours, some of us are privileged to get some of these details which you may never to get access to.

Chinom:
You're too dumb to understand that this is nothing but a "dick measuring" contest. First it was Imo, then Anambra posted theirs. Now it's Abia. Look at the mess the Anambra thread turned out to be.
What has those celebrities contributed to your life as a person. Are you so poor and wretched that you can only get some glory, recognition and self worth by posting celebrities and achievers from your home state. People who don't know you from Adam. You are all a bunch of fickle minded touts. This is motor park gist.

Akshow:
don't give ursef high BP over this issue o. OK, hausa kill igbo, should the next step be reprisal attacks? Are there no police stations to report the perpetrators too? Why attack other innocent hausa men over the stupidity of one of them knowing fully well that ur people are in their millions in hausa land. Following ur logic, if the hausas start attacking igbos in the north they are justified

Akshow:
Not that I'm supporting Hausas cos they get there own plenty palaver but honestly an average igbo man is a tribalistic bigot. I recently liked their Biafran page on Facebook and it's sickening. The length they will go to to discredit Nigeria and cause agitation among their gullible followers. They post fake pictures and fake stories just to rile up themselves. It's obvious they are yet to learn from the casualties of the Civil War. They live and progress in other people's land more than any other tribe in Nigeria yet they are preaching hate and intolerance. And the comments from supposed educated igbo youths on the buafra page makes me dumbfounded at how people can be filled with so much venom and hate. This is the result. I hope they remember their kinsmen are in their millions in the north. God bless Nigeria.

osabuohein:
Nobody has the monopoly of violence. Why would he stab the igbo man in the first place over a slight argument? As far as I'm concerned no crime was committed here. An eye for an eye might make the world go blind but an eye for an eye surely creates a balance.

casper9:
Recent events going on around Nigeria calls for immediate attention from the federal government, He has not done enough to proffer solutions to these issues. This is the time we need peace the most. Due to the state of the economy, nobody is smiling. So people are waiting to use any little provocation as an excuse to pour their anger on who ever they chose.
