And some Nairalanders say that Abia state is not working.

God's Own State

jason123:
The idea of lumping the SS into a republic (be it Biafra, ND or Odua) will not work. The sooner people realise this, the better!

The Igbo would simply claim the Igbo speaking Niger Deltans. And the Ibibio/Efik/Annang would most likely join the Ndigbo if the Igbo ask for their support. An Ibibio man would probably be the first president or prime minister of a Biafra.

I read this article recently. Interesting perspective.

Sun of god:
I wasn't too bothered either - Until I learnt two of my aunties have lost their jobs.

His actions leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

What if other SE Governors copy him - it will breed hatred amongst our people which would be so so tragic.

I'm greatful they haven't but T.A Orji has no doubt created problems and hardship for many people.

I'm not a fan of the man or his policies. I see his latest actions as no more than a form of deception.

This is not the first time an Igbo governor has done this. We all know that Enugu started it.

My very own auntie was forced to leave Enugu because of such policies. When she returned to the village, our kinsmen thought she was on holiday, but we did not find out the truth until a couple of months later when she died. Many still believe because she had lost her job in Enugu.

How could you not know about one of the largest empires in West Africa when you are not even so far away?

Maybe this is how you all were colonized. People cannot stand together when they dont even know that other people exist around them. How can you fight the colonization when you dont know what it is?

Igboland was the last group in West Africa to be subjugated if you didn't know. And the British would often comment and say that the Igbo were the most rebellious.

Even Igbo women had the warrior spirit. I know you heard of the Aba Women's Riot, that threatened British colonialism in Nigeria.

Why would we know about that your empire that did not impact the daily lives of the various Igbo clans that inhabited the thick forest of Eastern Nigeria? The Igbos had their our own world where were kings and queens in our own right.

He does not have the right to take private property from an individual. Even if they committed a crime. If someone paid for that property, then it belongs to them and Fashola would have no right to take it away from them or their family.

BlackLibya:
Is this a joke? Surely the Yorubas were enslaving the igbos and selling them off to america.

Yorubas were enslaving fellow Yorubas, just like Igbos were enslaving fellow Igbos.

Only a few Igbos even knew about the Kingdom of Benin. The Western Igbos were only impacted by its influence. So how would we know about the Yoruba kingdoms.

Igboland was dominion of the Aro Igbo, which I am a member of the Aro.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=809408.msg9624828#msg9624828 date=1322152102]Before Ibos, West had been a thriving center of trade and commerce.  Ijebus, Ijeshas, Igbominas, Oros, Tapas, Hausas, . . . .   Ibadan was the largest metropolis in sub-saharan Africa.  Ilorin was a major exchange center.   Ad these were traders in genuine and authentic measures and articles, not fake and sub-standard products.

Everywhere Ibo steps foot the noble codes and protocols of inter-exchange and commerce that were installed and been in practice by the local people are disrespected and trampled.  This is one reason people detest your presence in their midst.  You talk about expertise in trade but your philosophy of trading in sub-standard products is incompatible with that of others.  To you its great, to others it's a nuisance.[/quote]If this is true, then it is the way of the world.

Look at how China has flooded U.S. markets with their cheap goods and have grown rich.

People will buy what there money can afford and Igbos have affordable goods. Be thankful for our generosity of lowering prices for goods.

This is nonsense! What gives him that right?

I can see how this law can be abused. Politicians will enrich themselves.

Saint Fashola doesn't seem like a saint anymore.

It is not Nigerians. . .

The Congolese are the best dancers followed by the Caribbeans.

Igbo people are leading the way.

SHAME ON YOU ILEKE-IDI

We Igbos did not even know that you Yorubas even existed in pre-colonial times.

Why was my thread moved? Is it because I said Igbo. At least you could have moved it to the Culture section. The topic was simply "The Nonexistant Corporate Structure of the Igbo." What is so bad about discussing such a topic? It could have been placed in the business section.

Get ready North. Death from the sky will be quick.

The more Christians that leave the North, the less collateral damage that Christians will suffer once the US start flying drones to go after these Islamic fanatics.

^^^

That is because Kano has been the commercial capital of the North for centuries.

The only place I feel comfortable outside of Igboland is Calabar and Ikot Ekpene. 

I cannot see myself living outside of the East.

Yorubas need to stop being so xenophobic when it comes to Lagos.

Everyone lives in Lagos. Chinese, Igbo, Indians, Ijo, Lebanese etc.

Instead of complaining about the Igbo, maybe you all should complain about the Lebanese and send them packing.

Aigbofa:
Who wouldn't find you interesting. By this time next month, most of the escapees from the north will back there waiting for the next round of madness.

I have to agree. Makes me sick just thinking that I have to do that.

Does any of my Igbo brothers find it strange that it is Non-Igbos talking about Igbo issues?

When was the last time you saw an Igbo poster interfering with a Yoruba discussion?

Moral - Igbo topics and Igbo people in general are just interesting. There is a Yoruba man that I know who is even writing a book about the Igbo. He says we are fascinating.

These Yoruba Yoruba people have taken over this thread. I do not know how they are involved with such issues. If it does not concern you, then do not comment.
