We will not allow an independent drugs trafficking nation in West Africa. If you can get land near Mexico or Columbia, then you can move all your people there. But here in West Africa, Biafra will never be an independent nation whose sour e if FIREX will be drugs trafficking, human trafficking, baby factory, and fake drugs manufacturing. Never will that be allowed in West Africa

The US didn't "not allow LatAm" in the Americas. They're dealing with every situation while those countries improve their economy, social life and political issues.

The US don't negotiate with terrorists but they have enough arsenal to ensure they're not invaded or attacked.

Japan madness made them violate US security and Hiroshima/Nagasaki humbled them, today, they've focused onto technology and sports.

Igbo madness is a problem for me as an individual given the identity it destroys but in a country like Nigeria, where ideological differences are stark clear, approaching this same problem will become problematic as we have differing ideological stance.

So bros, poverty is a threat to Igbos, political strife is another fuel, social and economic exclusion adds to these.

Igbos need to attain a minimum of 80% literacy rate across it populace so that full sustainable development can stay, it's difficult in Nigeria where people believe in "school na scam".

GeneralPula:
If you understand logic, you would know you're not being logical here. Your proposition & your reference are not Valid..

The young man you quoted statement was due to OP's thread. Igbos wants to leave Nigeria. But they are everywhere in other part of Nigeria screaming Biafra or death..

If your Biafra isn't a pipe dream, then why not show some actions? By now, a serious entities wanting their own country would have come together already! But no, you people are scattered across the nation and still leaving your region everyday..

You dey Osogbo, you dey Kogi, you con dey scream Biafra or death.... Just like, you're at Stamford bridge and you're screaming Up Barca. People go even deh look you like Mumu..

Imagine 95% of Igbos are in the SE already. It would be a loud, straight and prepared voice!

Forget about the migration patterns and protocol, once there's a new country like this man pointed out, Migration Protocol outside will change.

I was born outside Igboland to parents who moved/in-migrated within Nigeria without papers but paid for only bus fare.

With a change in sovereign boundaries, migration across this boundaries will come with a new Migration Protocol, Work Permit, and the likes and for those outside the land, you apply Universal Rights of Return to the Republic.

Roman Abrahamovic is a Russian Jew but when Crimea issues began, he had to fulfil his rights through Israeli Universal Rights of Return and received citizenship that enable him travel to the West.

Although, the West held no exemption on him and still sanctioned him and his assets. Today, any Jewish person can return to Israel based on this code.

Broveens42:
It is called quota theatrics; the bane of development in the amalgamated region.
Non of portharcourt airport or Kano makes more money than Sam mbakwe airport annually, international or no international.

People who use airports regularly know this truth and are conversant with situations like these for their bookings.
Abuja to to Ph- no flight
Abuja to Owerri - ✓
Lagos to Ph- no flight
Abuja to Owerri- ✓

Going to Owerri is always available. I challenge any entity to disprove this fact

Look at this download from NBS or so, imagine Owerri connecting directly to international routes? At least, extra 300k would have been recorded by the airport.

Mana, yadiba!

aceman88:
Show me the passenger traffic from Aminu Kano airport, Akanu Ibiam airport, Enugu and Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri for the past two years now before I can consider your submissions.


We should try to remove propaganda from the running of government because it will never usher in development. It can never represent the facts on ground. I don't know whether call this mischievous or hate filled.

Kano hardly outperform Owerri in 4th place but since 1983 it was built, no efforts to uplift the airport infrastructure to meet international standards.

It's all political gimmicks.

undisputedKOC:
Killer's name: David Gift Okpara
Tribe: Igbo

Why always Igbos? Why is it always Igbo people commiting the most barbaric crimes in the world - why? This bloody Igbo cannibal IPOB terrorist was one of those that rigged elections for Peter Obi, look at how he gruesomely murdered the DPO, decapitated him and ate him. This heartless evil bastard Igbo Obidient IPOB criminal must be found and executed

So sorry for another Igboman killing a Nigerian Police Officer, a rank of DPO for that matter.

I support you for the same reason that he be arrested and made to face justice in a properly constituted court of law.

It's Igboman today, tomorrow, it may be another tribe or something.

Pipe down your tribal card and give information about him to police to effect his arrest.

Have a nice day.

flokii:
The only way to calm the nerves of those agitating for a separate Yoruba nation is to shut outsiders like Igbos out of Yoruba politics and governance..

How can you call yourself Yoruba, spend 4-5 yrs in University only to graduate and be jobless whereas people that are not even natives of South West are getting employment, appointments and whatnot in your State's public service.. O wrong now,

We have been shouting regionalism and restructuring all these while but the outsiders are turning deaf ears thinking it will always be business as usual for them in Yorubaland.

I support you on this.

Lagos and SW IGR should be for the development of the Lagos/SW megapolis.

Igbos should return to their region and develop it. Many of my Igbo people get jobs outside the region and settle permanently there and completely abandon their lands.

They must return to SE/SS/NC/wherever indigenous Igbos are found. Igboland is big enough (almost 44,000/SqKMs).

Quintessence44:
So we are supposed to enjoy being called a ''failed entity filled with zoo animals'' and our country being trashed online daily before the world by Igbos?

I don't think so.

It makes us HATE you.

Okay, good luck 🤞

Quintessence44:
I fear an Igbo presidency. With each passing day, and with each anti-Nigerian comment I read on social media, of which 98% are from Igbos, the more I fear, and the more my soul rejects an Igbo presidency.

I reckon they lack the patriotism to be trusted with power over this federation, and could use that power, if granted them, to sabotage the country, leading to its disintegration.

We can’t afford to take that chance in my view.

I can imagine the ruling classes also see this trajectory of deep Igbo unpatriotism, and are equally taking notes on the need to prevent their presidency anytime soon.

I'm Igbo, so you know.

Imagine life without Igbos troubling you in Lagos and other South Western states, criticising the president and being unpatriotic and wanting secession. That's what makes up national life.

Truth be told, every tribe in Nigeria has irritating habits that we've come to tolerate in various ways, as much as we can, without making efforts

Igbos tolerance is there, forget what you read here, same with Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Edo.

Allow your fears to go off and you'll see thar some of these things truly are not necessarily important but by actions/reactions, we've gotten this into national life.

If the peak design says 15million, then, they should divert air traffic to other regions/Airports.

Choking Lagos and Abuja with air traffic will only lead to anguish.

By the time convenience is given priority, meritorious figures will emerge in our economic life but now, its still inconveniencing preferences over convenience.

DMerciful:
I'm from Delta and I'm Igbo!

Nwoke ọma! Daalụ Sir!

ChiefJusticeFuc:
God punish you wherever you dey.

SS is not and will never be part of Ibo land.

Thanks.

But you can't erase the identity of Rita Daniels, Ifeanyi Okowa, Tony Elumelu, Ned Nwoko, Lucky Irabor, and plenty others who identify and affirm their Igbo ancestry and heritage in Delta and parts of Eastern Edo (Igbanke/Igbo-Akiri).

For the CRS, AKIB, Benue, and Rivers, go and remove their Igbo identity and heritage from them.

Phoen1X:
The "forced to share a country" part really got me laughing,...coming from a man whose father and uncles died as CANNON FODDERS in a war to keep naija united by force.

I thought it was written by a jobless-Biafran boy but it's not.

DoA.

Igboland balkanization by Northern Zionists will not erase history.

By changing BoB to Bight of Bonny has not changed Nigerians political, security, governance and economic woes.


Next please.

Nigeria is a Turn-by-Turn Republic.

Na him turn, soon, another youngster go become governor and the cycle will continue.

Eno031:
Shut the f**k up, what do mean cross river and akwa ibom, are you well at all

Go and check Abi LGA in Cross River and check of Ndoki people in Akwa Ibom.

Please, use proper mannerisms when some issues arise so that you don't make grievous errors.

DamnnNiggarr:
Oga Sir, Igbo is not a geographical region, Igbo is a tribe that can be indigenous to any geographical region.

Igbo as a tribe does not start and end in SE,
as a tribe, Igbo greatly extends to Rivers and Delta States and small portion of BAYELSA State ( my home town precisely). Just like the Yoruba tribe does not start and end in SW.

As a tribe, Yoruba extends to North Central geographical region and Benin republic.

I beats my imagination how people are not able to differentiate between tribe and polical region.

They're trying to place an identity/ideological boundary for Igbo people.

Igbos are found in Edo (Phyna of BBN is named Ifeoma and is Igbo from Edo state), Benue, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Kogi, and Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers are just more popular that these others I just listed.

The 5 SE states are what they're using to play politics of divide-and-rule.

adecz:



The insecurity in northern Nigeria
has shown that northern leaders are just
a bunch of hypocritical religious bigots
who have nothing to offer their people
apart from using their numerical strength
to gain power at the center just for their
personal selfish & family interests ❗️❗️



The ordinary citizens are considered no
more than the sheep, donkeys and goats
you find walking around all over far northern
Nigeria❗️❗️❗️❎❎❎


In fact the northern elites are more
sympathetic to the bandits and religious
extremists than to the normal law abiding citizens.


What a pity.

"Stop being emotional".

That's what they'd say to anyone who points out stuff to them.

Quest7777:
Where are our python dancers when you need them.

Na Camel Dance.

Eke/Python is to East as Camel is to desert.

Hezzyluv:
I used to like the northern part of this country then. Some even mistake me for an Hausa guy. But now, the fear for North is the reality of this country!

Same here, born and bred in the North but since I moved, I'm sure to not miss the North again.

sonofElElyon:
Government only needs to appoint professionals from the private sector to head the refineries and give them the freedom to hire and fire. Also give them the latitude to run the refineries freely without interference..

If you try that, merit will never be considered and nepotism that we witnessed under Buhari will manifest in multidimensional ways.

Mynd44:
Why are most roads in Nigeria curved and not straight?

Sometimes topography of the environment, sometimes aesthetics, other times to not affect strategic public infrastructure/landmark in significant use.

bashlek:
You are right….. wen I was in anambra we have a lot of Yoruba lecturers in Oko poly. Truth be told, Yoruba travel pass Igbo. That is why a lot of celebrities are making money outside Nigeria with Yoruba vibes. The little diff btw Yoruba travelers and Igbos is that, Yoruba get culture of building your home first before anything. My mum has bought landed properties for all her children. She reminds us everyday to come and invest on the land. My brother has built his own even wen he is not in the country for the past 13years nd uses some part to farm cocoa making huge money every year

My dear Igbo brothers please build ya home. This Nigeria can’t hold. We will later separate not a curse. What will u guys fall back on ?………If u fail to build yasef well, North will later come back and colonize u.

Hmm! This opinion is strong, so whatever everyone is doing is just to take what they can until it finally falls off

omooba969:
We're always under the illusion that if our tribes-man occupies the power-seat, it will automatically translate into wealth for our people. You need to realise that OBJ presidency did not turn Ogun state or SW to Dubai, GEJ presidency did not turn Bayelsa or SS to Paris and many years of Northern rule actually translated into underdevelopment and now hardship/terrorism in the North/North-Central.

Would you be expecting any better if a Southeastern person becomes president? Bro, there's a pattern and this is a fundamental issue that needs a paradigm shift.

Let's do away with nepotism, tribal & religious sentiments and watch a drastic change in our polity.

What you've said all along made zilch of a sense to me, but I agree with everything you've said (because I can detribalize and understand you) but, hear this, Nigeria operates cynical and Winner-Takes-It-All politics that has done more harm than good for the people.

If not for the hustling spirit of the SE, that zone would have been long dead because of more than 50years of wanton negligence, except of course, let's accept GEJ did us good in his 5/6years in power.

The Northerners that always ascend and thrust themselves to power with their Northernization Policy, are they any better? But every election circle, they have their political ideology, and align to that and vote massively for it.

The Yoruba have their political ideology too, and they align to that. I knew when SWAGA23 Conference was held in Ibadan, UI-ICC precisely and all Yorubas aligned to that, but they for once didn't think it will make Ibadan, Akure, Oyo, Ogbomosho, Iseyin, Ife, Ado Ekiti, Ikenne, Kabba, Illorin, Abeokuta, Ajaokuta to Aberdeen, Glasgow, Liverpool, Boston, Birmingham, Cardiff, Helsinki, Los Angeles, San Francisco etc. But these same people voted, following in the same pattern of the Northern regions.

You even killed and maimed because you're battling for survival through political power.

Now the Igbos have theirs but you claim its a problem and wouldn't do much good for us. We didn't create that illusion, the North did, so go and talk to them about abolishing it first, but I understand that's going to be difficult.

Omooba (Son of a King), what's happening I'd a political game and if anyone wants Peter Obi to join them in order to harvest over 6million votes (which will grow massively soon), they should align behind him and he'll make due his own agreement which we the S/Easterners have seen and become endeared to him, and it's going to be two terms as well, but anything short, no problem.

omooba969:
With this mindset Nigeria is going no where!

Has it gone anywhere over the last 63yrs?

You've democratically done 8+yes, the North has done 14yrs in democratic dispensation + their uncountable years of military domination.

Bro, please, don't lecture us on what's good for Nigeria because its your man who's at the top.

happney65:
I have said it again and again. Any merger with Obi not being the presidential candidate in 2027 with kwankwso as vice won't work as 2027 is still the turn of the south.


With the most competent southerner and the most competent Northerner on the ballot.

If this is to have Atiku on the ballot in 2027,it will still fail.

But hey,it's politicians with their personal interest

Obi tenure should be two terms or they all go home and SE will decide who to vote for in 2027 on their own.

mrvitalis:
Atiku should back obi ans Kwankwaso in 2027 if supreme Court fails to do the right thing

With obi agreeing to do one term As president

I think this would work very well

No two term for Obi as it first president, the deal collapses.

SE will not vote unless they're presented as President.

Right thing

AllenSpencer:
Russia and Soviet Union bombers 🤣🤣🤣

If you defect Soviet Union artillery’s from Russian military, Kenya will easily defeat Russia!

So much of old junks in the military!

Even the nuclear bombs they boast of, are mostly that of the defunct Soviet Union that are not even guaranteed to detonate

US has limited their access to weapons making resources for almost 30years, how China escaped this trap remains a mystery.

Imo

I'm also from Imo, but based outside the state.

That should be the proper way of life.

Dating is exploitative and a wanton bubble of disappointment and waste of resources.

Smoothtalkerfnb:
The best thing to happen to any man is to allow his family choose a wife for him.


If your sister or mother choose a wife for you my brother you will see the different..once you like the girl and the girl like u and her yansh is ok and she have a small beautiful face my brother enjoy a peaceful marriage..

In our land you can stay in America and marry in Nigeria,family will choose a wife for you .,’ after you come back give her belle still go back and your mum and siblings will be taking care of her chai very sweet.

Anambra right?

IamKizzbrown10:
Approximately 95%of marriages in India are arranged, with the divorce rate at 1%. I come from a big family, with 25 first cousins
and many more second and third cousins.

Out of these 28, 24 are now married and 2 are engaged. All arranged marriages, with no divorce to date.

I am the black sheep of the family, with the first love marriage in the history of my family. I believe that I am the custodian of my own
happiness. I believe that God gave me free will.

So, I cannot marry someone my parents choose for me because even if they trained me from birth, they have limited knowledge of what
gives me fulfillment, especially in the area of choosing a life partner.

What are your thoughts about these

Yes, I've discovered that it's best.

Terms and conditions are known and breaching it can lead to severe consequences.

Infact, I'll like arrangee marriage, dating is totally useless and exploitative.

englishmart:
You can get a well-furnished two bedroom flat for 180k in Karmo, Jiwa, Gwagwa, Tasha, Akaraka, etc, Abuja.

I left this vicinity in 2006, last visited in 2021, but trust me, I will advise people to check Karu before your listed environment.
