I do not believe in any post war punishment in play. If it was in play, igbos would not be running the economy. We would not have igbo senate presidents. In fact, the igbo would have been absorbed by one of the other major groups but that has not and would NEVER happen.

Secondly, the land in the north coupled with the population supports the large number of states.

God bless you. We Igbos, simply don't section ourselves enough
My experience as a youth corper in Kano simply told me that there is nothing like one Nigeria, because first of all Hausa/Fulani people don't honestly believe in it.
It's only when you come down to Onitsha and Enugu that you have people fooling themselves into believing that there is one Nigeria.
Until we as Igbos understand the mistakes of Zik, Ironsi, that One Nigeria is a fallacy, the better we can survive, because it's the truth.

kai, this dude ehn?

we now live in a country where taxpayer's money is spent ''judiciously'' for the upkeep of those who looted our treasuries dry.

Kobojunkie:
Because what we are trying to do, and what will favor Ibos in the long run, is getting rid of the regional bull-sh-it!. There is nothing erroneous about my statement on Ibos sectioning themselves. It not new and it has never helped any group, especially when you are dealing with DEMOCRACY -- where majority rules(are supposed to rule). Continuing this idea of sectioning will further alienate Ibos from the system and if that is what you want, then fine.

Kobojunkie:
Oh please . . . what ails ibo's in Nigeria, ails other people in the same country. As long as you keep sectioning yourselves from the populace, they also continue to ignore you and your concerns. I am not certain how you expect them to embrace you when it now seems more and more that you do not care what happens to them, and would instead prefer to focus on YOU YOU YOU. How can you section yourself off in your corner and then wonder why they do not bother voting your sons and daughters at the national level?

step1:
This is madness, I have come from to realise that until we yorubas from awori, egun, oyo etc come together and kill this ijaw and igbos in lagos then we will have no peace.

Alj harem do you remember Alausa when Hausa people were claim lagos because it is call alausa

PhysicsRND:
I also don't see how they could be "pushed into the creeks" unless that was done systematically by every Volta-Niger group that encountered them.


There's food and water in the creeks/rivers and by the sea so it's perfectly reasonable to settle around water.


Why they leaned towards that much more than other groups isn't really clear though.

PhysicsRND:
Ijaw is a Niger-Congo language so it's part of the same larger language family as the Western Kwa group and also the Volta-Niger (Yoruba, Igbo, Idoma, Edo, etc.) group that I think you were referring to.

Chyz*:
Their fighting has got them nowhere, as far as taking land. Both the Ilaje and Itsekiri got the OPC to come and punish them. The Ikwere(Igbo)came with cults and punnished them plus Gov. Amaechi is driving them completely out of Port Harcourt. Im starting to notice that Ijaws attack groups whose name state with an "I" .
