@bolded it was carved based on cultural relationship, geographic ties and interactions....


If there is any other igboland aside SE, u can let us know with enough substance of claim devoid of outrageous attachments and claims...

Facts from past to present decides the future.

Who determined the nature of cultural relationship, geographic ties and interactions that warranted what areas should/shouldn't be carved out?

Yyeske:
[s]Continue crying and wailing for your referendum and secession, I've schooled you enough to understand how to get it.[/s]

Get it legitimately through your senators and reps...

Dead on Arrival. Anybody still suggesting this is either mischievous or being sincerely dumb. Mathematically, which happens to be the most simplistic method of analysing it, it is impossible; how then will it even be practical in our clime with all the complexities and interests/disinterests.

...or just declare your Biafra and make sure you are battle ready for Nigeria, don't repeat same mistake Ojukwu did when he declared without adequate preparation, allies or weapons. Also know the territory you want to fight for so you don't go in to fight and the locals push you out themselves.

Reflect on this statement again maybe it will become clear that IPOB is not a bunch of never-do-wells after all.

You say Nigeria is illegal, is your Biafra not illegal, how many Igbos and non Igbos have told you that they want an IPOB Biafra or you are trying to impose it on them, they never asked you for a referendum too.
Zik did that and more, go read up on Nigerian history and stop saying what you don't know, even it was Ironsi that signed the anti secession decree into law. In all of this what were the Igbo politicians and the Igbo people saying?
It is now you want a referendum and secession, continue dreaming because it is allowed

You're contradicting yourself sir. In one breath you're suggesting that nobody requested for Biafra, yet insinuating that a means to prove if the request is true or fable is also being forced.

Your scam perennial (s)elections conducted by the not so independent NEC, did anyone ask for it? Before you rush to answer, can you present statistics to prove it?

Referendum and election are both activities which people use to determine their destiny. Referendum is not treason, neither is it a call for war. If Nigeria believes Biafra is being imposed, the sane thing to do is test the field. Let's stop all the diversionary tactics, tthey're stale.

The guy is right....
Kanu is bringing insult to us all the time...
Oil oil oil oil...let delta and rivers hold their oil

Kanu should focus his liberation on igboland....alone....


Moving outside igboland brings insult to us....The 5 igbo state is enough to form a country and lead their people....

All these attachment is annoying.

Quick question:

When carving out the states, what criteria were used?

It amuses me when people just assume Igboland is made up of only the SE states

Team A: I have access to classified information so I am not swayed by hearsay and propaganda

Team B: I don't accept everything I read online as is, I question the veracity of each case on its merits

Team C: I don't really know where/how to verify information so I go with popular opinion

Team D: I hate Nnamdi Kanu's guts, I can never support him

Team E: IPOB are making us look bad, they must be destroyed

You know where you belong.

Why didn't he take it? It would have saved the day.

Not every detail is made available for public consumption. I can almost swear that there was a hidden hand in their offer, it goes beyond access to oil. It is possible their terms would have turned out to be another neocolonialism.

A peaceful revolution is already on in the East with various attempts to suppress it with both brute force and amateurish blackmail.

If there's going to be a violent revolution that will shake the foundation of this country once and for all, it will be in the north...usually taking the form of a pogrom.

The west? Not so much. Expect sporadic arson, mob action and riots but it'll be quelled in a short while. I doubt the region can withstand a fraction of the military oppression the East has witnessed.

Friend of the poor?

Ok..

Make everyone poor, be their friend....problem solved.

GavelSlam:


Your portrait and that of your entire family was more than convincing for that conclusion to be reached.

The more you respond, the more you prove my hypothesis. Na breeze full your skull so you can't give what you don't have.

This is how xenophobic attacks will build gradually in Lagos.

Case in Point
A group of people come to a location, set up their businesses and contribute to the local economy... Everyone is happy.

Business grows, they make profit and decides to expand... Everyone is still happy.

With foresight, they buy land and other real estate... Everyone is falling over themselves to sell.

More of these group come into a neighboring location who heard the story of the former set, they quickly go to welcome the new set and are enthusiastic about selling their lands... They buy, everyone is happy again.

...

...

On and on it goes.. Let us henceforth, call these people "The Investors".

...

Fast-forward years later, some people (henceforth called "The League" ) rise to be in control but sees these group of forward-thinking individuals (The Investors) as potential risks. The League tries to get them to their side, The Investors naturally gravitate because it's good for business; yet not feeling fully in charge, The League wants absolute control.

The League demands absolute loyalty to be sworn, this does not go down well with The Investors but they play along to put The League at ease.

Sensing they are not making any headway, The League decides on a series of measures to frustrate efforts of The Investors, thus make them leave.

Stop the lease/sale of properties to them or if necessary, do so at [what they consider] neck-breaking rates. The Investors do not flinch, instead, more of The Investors are buying.

The League decides to tax The Investors heavily, this draws some reaction which impresses The League. The Investors sends delegates to The League to make supplication but are sent back with the message: "If you can't cope, go back to your village".

The Investors argue that since they have contributed that much to the local economy they deserve to be treated with some dignity. However, they adjust to the new terms and grow their business.

The League, sensing the short win slipping off their fingers, and The Investors not making any attempt to leave, decides to take it a step further: propaganda

They don't respect their hosts!
They want to take the land from the owners!
They claim they now share in the land (No man's land)!
They're constituting nuisance!

blah blah blah!

....

Now we're here, the next step is to forcefully take over the dividends of their business and possibly relocate them to some thick forest hidden from civilization , very soon it might degenerate to pockets of coordinated violence and bloodshed.

Let us not start what will make the country burn, if you lot are hoping for military support from the Fulani-controlled Nigerian Army, you might be shocked so use that wisdom you claim to have. Though we're aware that, while the North is prone to terrorism, the west is prone to violence...history tells us this much.

As for us Igbos, our oath to mother earth is to grow, multiply and prosper, no amount of oppression will deny us that.

Udo diri unu, Ndi-Igbo umu Chukwu!
I still stand with Referendum

In retrospect, I have considered my many years of interaction in the SW and I see a recurring factor. Yorubas claim Igbos are chestbeaters but they are usually prone to tooting their own tiny horns.

To an Igbo man, it's all about trying new things (or old things in new ways/places), blazing the trail and letting the results speak for themselves. The typical Yoruba on the other hand, always wanting to measure d1cks, will struggle to prove he can do thesame...funny thing is, the people you're TRYING to compete with don't even do you the honor of seeing you as worthy competition. We Igbos, knowing our innate capacity among ourselves, consider each other a potential competition, better still, the Asians, Europeans and Americans.

If you check closely, it's this need to measure up and not feel left behind in the scheme of things that brings about these weightless attacks on the Igbos.

In their lack of better argument, they find reprieve in the belief that an Igbo man will never be president in Nigeria.

Turantula:
Who do you think will be a better candidate Kwankwaso or Tambuwal?

Better candidate for who...the northern agenda or the southern agenda?

As long as he is one with vision, ethical & moral values, he will do well.

They will come and label you IPOB... wait for it.

MetaPhysical:
Following are graphical images of electoral results as far back 1979. I included some nuggets to highlight how Yoruba beat competition to emerge the Supreme political leader of Southern Nigeria.

Congratulations on your statistical feat, though you didn't tell us the aim of this lecture. Next is to show us the breakdown of those figures by ethnicity then tell us how it has made Nigeria less of a sh1thole.

Thank you.

Ejimagifty:
All i know is no igbo man will ever rule Nigeria again. If una like be arab jews na your wahala

The only sentence that eases your pain. Seriously, we don't care

Just as it is rare to discuss world politics without mentioning the US and Israel, a time will come (and is indeed, near) when Biafra will be the major player in Africa in particular, and the world in general.

Whether you hate to love them, or you love to hate them, you can't take away the light of God from their midst.

Your copy and paste article aside, what do you (in your honest opinion) think about quota system vs meritocracy.

Optional09:
I won’t say anything about this because I am Yoruba. Hausa and Igbos are doing us Shege in this country it’s time to do them shegeh back. Agege and Ketu must follow too ASAP. I want the Hausa people to stop rapping our underaged girls

What shege is the Igbos doing you?
Really, I'm curious to know.

BuhariAdvocate:
We must united. Power shouldn't cause disunity among us. Meanwhile south-south and southwest have been follow one direction in politics since amalgamation of Nigeria.

Click bait.
Why not post the news here. Everybody wants to use NNamdi Kanu to trend and generate traffic.

shakaz:
have you submitted your transcript. If you have I think that's all I was mandated to submit also. There is a page requesting for source of funding. I believe indicating CSC there is enough to link the school with your CSC application.

The only thing I'm skeptical about is the fact that I wasn't asked to submit reference on the Heriot Watt University portal.

You will be asked to upload degree certificate, international passport data page and two references later on.
