HiddenShadow:
Their love for money can't stop our desire for Biafra

Since they love money more than freedom, they are free to convert to Islam to protect their love for money.

Biafra is our future

This is my exact sentiments. I and so many reasonable biafrans will never sacrifice the freedom of our people and unborn generations for money. Those who are blinded by money can remain with Nigeria. That is their own cup of tea.

very sad situation.

Nnamdi Kanu is never a solution to the igbo struggle.

all we ever wanted was restructuring and not secession. the sharp edged wood does not strike a man twice in the eyes.

IPOB has been so undiplomatic in their use of words and the northern youths spoke without wisdom - and sadly the elders from both divide are not speaking like elders.

its time Nigeria realize that if their is any kind of war again, its going to be the end of west africa and possibly africa as we know it.

this situation has become that of odudu biri na amu - it needs serious caution. elders should stop sitting on the fence and doing the job of elders!


some words of caution for the North - if they make the mistake of braking Nigeria, their situation will be worst than Afghanistan - there will be massive uprising from the various ethnic groups in the North who are already feed up with the oppression by the northern hausa-fulanis. these ethnic groups will no longer be deceived into being used to fight any war ever again.

Leave IPOB alone. " monkey no fine but I'm mama like am".

IPOB learned from the experiences of MASSOB.

MASSOB tried diplomacy for so many years but what did that get them. Touture, death and long jailing without trial.

IPOB dont need to be diplomatic. They need to focus their energy of spreading their message of freedom to every nook and cranny.

Ohaneze is very corrupt and their credibility will continue going down the drain. They have been talking about the same restructure for almost 3 decades and nothing came out of it.

Somebody please tell me what has ohaneze accomplished for ndigbo since they were established?

Well said. Some people hate competition and that's why they hate igbos. They prefer igbos remain marginalized so their pitiful life can have a chance to compete. Only those who humble themselves and learn from igbos succeed while those dying in jealousy will remain poor.

The Reason One Igbo-hating Woman Gave Me For Hating The Igbo- Igbodefender.com

One day I was discussing with a fellow Nigerian (beautiful lady) but her heart was dark to the Igbo, her fellow compatriot. She blurted out to me that she hates Igbos.

Shocked, I asked her why, and she said if there are 5 people in a compound selling things, the moment just one Igbo joins, he will take over the trade and (through his natural business excellence) push all the other non Igbo businesses out of business in a few months. Now, this was no chest beating Nwa Ada Igbo, but a certified anti-Igboist spilling her guts to me in a moment of bizzare truth.

It was only later that I read Amy Chua’s book on Igbos being market dominant group, together with the Jews that I understood that resentment is one of the crosses the Igbo has to bear for being allergic to failure.

Now, what should this woman and others who feel the same way about Igbos have done? They should have understudied the Igbo to learn one or two tricks of the trade from them. I know another Idoma woman who boasted that she studies the Igbos and stays around them as much as possible to learn secrets to business success from them.

Now, that’s a wise woman, and  she must have learned one or two things because to the best of my knowledge, she has been going from level to higher level businesswise. Another wise person is Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, who sent Ekiti indigenes to come to Ala Igbo to learn how to do business. Of course, some of the business ability is inborn, but these Ekiti students will learn one or two useful things to grow their business.

Ask Malaysia. In the 1960’s they came down to Ala Igbo to buy palm seedlings from Igbos. Today, they are the world’s biggest palm oil producers. That is what happens when you decide to learn from the Igbo, rather than hate them. Look at my favourite Nigerian actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, a Yoruba.

She humbled herself with the Igbos really humble woman with a humble character) and became one of the 2 current Nollywood celebrities and a real diva, a real queen. That is what happens when you decide not to be a hater.

The Igbos are flooding your town? You should be happy because that is a vote of confidence from the best investor you can get as an African town. These investors will not suddenly divest tomorrow, and leave your city to fall economically. But they like to leave for their homeland Ala Igbo every Christmas to count scores against their fellow investors who are developing other parts of thw world ( yes, you can find Igbo markets like Alaba in places like South Africa, ask the BBC.

So, it’s a win win for your economy if marginalization and unfair taxes can be dropped. If you tax the Igbo fairly, you can still make enough money to develop your territory while he has more profit to develop your economy. He will not repatriate all the profit to Ala Igbo, (even though he should do more of that). After all, Shell and Chevron repatriate a large bulk of their income to their homeland.

Let me make this simple....

Igbos exist outside of the 5 SE state. My hometown is outside of the 5 SE state. My hometown is part of modern day delta state and I'll simplify this to all this savages of waste

NO WAY IN THE DEEP PART OF HELL I'm I stayed in this shithole with the rest of your savages when SE igbos leaves. No way in hell. I know the same applies to all my people in my area likewise igbo territories in River state as I've actually been in their groups reading their convo on Biafra.

Get that through una thick head. I rather die than be part of your worthless Niggeria when Biafra is created.

Deep in their hearts, they know that everything you said is true and that they won't separate igbos in the south east and south south and possibly other non Igbo minorities when Biafra comes. That has been their biggest fear and that's why they keep opening similar threads like this.

Each day about 4 to 5 threads like this are opened. They are doing it out of fear of what's to come.
