slowpoke, what do you refer to as an ethnicity ?
There is no such thing as "western igboland", even china town which is actually populated by chinese people still belongs to america and not china, right ? Fool.
To the best of my knowledge, in the context of nigeria, we shall call ethnicity a group of people who were citizens of the same precolonial country until the british defeated them and added them into nigeria.
Also, stop inventing things, there was no country called igbo land. The expression igboland is a recent one. Do you even know if there is any historical link between anioma and enugu for example ?

For the last time, most Anioma trace their origin to Nri and others. There are more Ubulu in Anambra, accross the Niger, than even in Anioma land. Beside language, culture and orientation. Your logic is flawed, as everybody, according to universal surfrage, have the right to choose his/her political destiny. Leave the Aniomas to decide their fate, not this old cock and bull story you are cooking here. Your Bini empire drive is dead on arrival. Stupid Nigerians

Where is China Town? When did New York become a Chinese sovereing tarrain? What is the connection between New York and Eastern Asia? Why are you this dumb? I'm even dealing with a kid self. mtcheew! Guy, just fucck off my mention
I'm done with you. You're a typical Nigerian that will turn logic upside down to achieve egocentric political ambition. Stupid Nigerians.

prolog2:
First of all, if you haven't noticed (even though I said so many times). I am partly anioma.
Also, for your information, Benin Kingdom had several languages.
Very few empires known to history actually enforced a language policy. Greece didn't, Rome didn't, the otmoans didn't, Persia didn't..
The fallacy of identifying people with language needs to stop.

This is same reason I classified you among dumb Nigerians. So, to you, an empire is equivalent to an ethnic group? Mumu. Ok, Bini empire is the norm now shey? Go and tell a Han he is not Chinese, because he was once under the scepter of Mongols. Anufia. Dumb Nigerians will never learn. Even if Western Igboland was once under the dominion of old Bini empire, does that automatically make them Binis, according to your first post? If at all, this contraption should break, don't they have the right to choose where to belong? Are you going to force Northern Africa tha was once under the Roman empire to become Romans today because of history. come, mind yourself'o. To slap you just dey hungry me. Stupid Nigerians.

[s]Normally, when someone lacks knowledge, he keeps his mouth shut and gets some education.
But your generation got everything mixed up.
You don't know what you are talking about, yet you are here trying to play arrogant.
You are "guessing" the meaning of my words rather than actually using your brain to think and do the necessary research to comprehend.
Now, the irony is that you have shown yourself to be the biggest dummy in mankind, yet you are the one calling others dumb.
By the way, I got a masters degree in a french university. And I am currently a maths teacher (in france).
You are the stupid nigerian ![/s]

Who the fucck cares. Stick your discipline down your ass man. I don't give a fucck.

prolog2:
I checked my post several times and I didn't spot the word "Bendel" on it.
So I don't understand what exactly you are talking about.
I was talking about Benin Kingdom which is a country which predated nigeria. Aniomas, among others, were citizens of that kingdom.
I hope my explanation for dummies has put some intelligence in that little brain of yours.
By the way Bendel wasn't created by mistake, it was the will of the people whom were all citizens of Benin Kingdom in the precolonial days.
The people of the midwest united and followed the leadership of the Oba of Benin Kingdom.
There are countless documents on the struggle to create Bendel.
The efforts of the Oba of Benin were second to none. The betrayal of awolowo was also noted.

Carry that nonsense go hug transformer dummy. Using a village empire to determine who is Igbo or not is stale, dead and buried. Going from history, we know how Agbor alone resisted Bini imperial advance down east. Need mention the Ubulu.Idu wars. These were all wars of resistance to your phantom dominance. Western Igbos paid old Bini homeage, but were never vassals to your kingdom. The division of Anioma, i.e Western Igbos, from their kin in the East, was punitive measure by the British to tame them after the long Ekumeku war. If Aniomas are Binis, as you posted, why are they different from you, both in language and culture? Please, answer now.

Chai! indi ofenmanu go die put for Igbo matter. ha

Don't be deceived

Ewedu alert!!!

The op has the same body odour with Morufu omo Alamala the dirty illiterate in Ibadam.

yorrober 'we ss' no get shame.. smelly things.

Please, are you Midol?

ibotic:
The young ones in Igboland have been abandoned by their bro :others in search of the golden fleece in SW....shame on us...smh...

You can never be Midol. Ain't nobody like Midol, nobody does it better than Midol.

Throwback is a devil incarnate. May the experiecne of innocent fallen Biafran children be the portion of his future generation.

Herdsmen should ranch their herds and be ready to pay taxes for their business just like every business man does. These morons don't even know that they can grow the beef industry to be traded on NSE. No foresight, no vision, only kill kill and kill even innocent kids.

Absuchat:
And yet thousands of your people travel down to Aba en mass to buy from us?

Am yet to see the impact of your high "IGR" on your states,as all your states are shitholes except Lagos (courtesy of Igbos there).

Debtors may soon claim Lagos.

prolog2:
You are the idiot, you do not know your history.
My great grand father was anioma by the way.
Which precolonial country do you think anioma belonged to ?
Idiot, stop being foolish, you are here complaining about people your ancestors shared a country with for thousands of years and you are willing to share an utopian country with some people you don't even know just because their language seems similar to yours ?
What a fool you are. You think they love you ? Wait until problems start ! They do love the land they think you can give them.



This just reminds me of the english speaking cameroonians. They chose to join cameroon rather than remaining with their kins in nigeria for similar reasons, and now they are being uppressed by people who they thought loved them.

You guys are the big dunce on this forum. There is a big difference between an administrative unit and ethinc group. Tivs and Idomas are once part of Northren Nigeria, does it mean they automatically Hausa/Fulani? Stupid Nigerians. for the fact that Anioma was part of old Bendel State never mean they are Edo or Binis. Stop this nonsense. Stupid Nigerians

Deadlytruth:
My opposition to secession.
By Nnamdi Azikiwe
When the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual.
That was when we began to use that expression – ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ – and that to secede would amount to treason.
And so, a debate ensued.
The Secretary of State then was Oliver Littleton, later Lord Chandos and he was very much interested and that was his first time in saying that the people of African descent were people actually debating at a high level.
So a full day was given to Chief Awolowo to make his points. He spoke brilliantly as a lawyer. He made his points why secession should be incorporated in the constitution. He cited the case of the Soviet Union which is a federation, and that secession is written there so that any state in the Soviet Union can secede at will. He also cited the case of Western Australia and eventually he finished his case and was applauded.
Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason
We adjourned. The next day, I had to reply. I availed myself of the opportunity to, well, demolish the arguments of my friend and I cited the case of United States which based its constitution on that of the Swiss Confederation. That is Switzerland. I pointed out a case, I think, that of Texas versus White, where Mr. Salmon Chase, the Chief Justice laid down the principle – he was really an arbiter – that the union was intended to be perpetual and indivisible and that any attempt to divide the union by secession was treasonable.

The North (NPC) supported Action Group. The question was then: Should we have secession? The Colonial Office came to our rescue. You know, the usual principle of Britain – ‘divide and rule’ (laughs) but this time, it was in our favour. So, the colonial office backed us.
Lord Chandos said that on the face of the arguments before him it would be suicidal to incorporate secession in our constitution and that is why we have section 86 in our constitution that if any region or state should secede, then it will be an act of treason and that was what led to this war, because Col. Ojukwu seceded and so violated the constitution.
— Excerpt: Nnamdi Azikiwe’s interview with New Nigeria in 1975

Also do recall that when Isaac Adaka Boro tried to pull the Niger Delta Republic out of Nigeria 15 good months before the idea of Biafra ever occurred to Ojukwu, it was Ironsi your brother extant Military Head of State that ordered Ojukwu to attack Isaac Adaka Boro, crush his new republic within two weeks with federal (One-Nigeria) might, got him arrested, convicted of treasonable felony through accelerated hearing, and sentenced him to death by hanging. This gave Ojukwu a sweet sense of fulfilment in his military career for being the first military officer to prevent the breakup of Nigeria and deserving of an award.
Ironically the same Ojukwu would soon afterwards ask for the same secession from the same Nigeria.
Are you therefore still looking for proofs of who were first to forcefully hold others back in Nigeria against their wishes?

You still end up writing up exactly what I predicted. One question for you; does the action of one man translate to the act and will of more than 19 million people?
Waiting for your answer.

Chai! Hafonjas have really shown they don't like anything Igbo. see them crying and calling for Shitu head; their fellow hafonja muslims. hahahaha

elgramz:
It's too late for that now. Whatever knowledge they had will be obsolete now. Nigeria missed a great opportunity when they refused to harness those guys after the civil war. Nigeria have always had backward thinking and myopic leaders

Very true. Their technology then is completely old school now. But Nnewi and Aba folks are performing wonders. Honestly, Nnewi is a behive of industrial production.

Nigeria is slowly drifting into a state of civil war. If the herdsmen terorist is not tamed as soon as possible, other Nigerians will be forced to carry arms, and then it will be a point of no return.

Deadlytruth:
After Lord Laggard did that demonic amalgamation in 1914, several opportunities later came for a reversal. But those who thwarted all such opportunities thinking that the evil amalgamation would someone miraculously survive are the ones now eventually complaining most bitterly about it all.

Oya, tell us how Zik made you a Nigerian by all means. The old sermon of one man's action translating into the action of more than 18 million people. We are all ears.

victorvezx:
Uwazurike seems to be more reasonable than Kanu. He knows there is no way the south east can force their useless Biafra on the South south people

This Biafra you call usless will come in your lifetime with her territory intack, both the one the Nigerian state stole from her. then we will know who is useless.

newslinkngr:
9. The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is working to establish cattle colonies across the country, in 2018. These colonies will provide grass and water for the cattle, and education and healthcare facilities for herders. They will also have Agro-Rangers deployed to secure the facilities.

Dead on arrival. Keep your cattle colony to the north and south west. We don't need it down better south.Even if our sold out governs buys into it, the people will still resist it.

Good move. igbos should start strategising and creating terms for restructure. We must speak with one voice that will favor our region and people as a nation.

igbodefender:
Are you always this stupid or you are making a special effort to be so today? And who told you you could dictate our politics to us, or dictate to us what we should say or not say?

You need to go for psychiatric test.

Are you Orji Uzo Kalu, or are you paid to run this campaign of gross misplaced priority? Honestly, you're becoming so annoying with this your useless Igbo presidency that will in no way solve the structural deficit system Nigeria is running. Why not just go and contest and leave ndi'Igbo alone. This is becoming insane.

Modified:
and please, change this your moniker, because you are not defending us.

junglep:
Reading through the comments, it's easy to understand why there's so much friction between tribes. There's no national identity, nothing an average Nigerian can be proud off.

Imagine a Nigeria were all regions are developed fully linked by rail, metro lines and sohispticated airports ,
no one will be screaming Lagos is for Yoruba and kano is for the north.


A youruba person can take a day trip to igbo land to enjoy the culture beauty and vice versa .

We can only blame the political elites for screwing everyone over.


Personally I think people should try and see a bigger vision for the whole of Nigeria, a Nigeria that co operates in the interest of it's citizens.



People need to wake and understand , all the problems go back to bad leadership. If we select our leaders based on merit rather than tribe ,we stand a better chance.

Nigeria can never achieve such feat as long as nepotism and tribalism reign supreme. Tribalism is now an institutional monster that cannot be tamed. The best is either we restructure or go our seperate ways. It will not work, not yet.

LasGidiOwner:
Just look at how the thread is deserted with over 100 people viewing.


Is NAIRALAND now a viewing center?

Hafonjas only get mouth when its about Igbos. If the above statistic
was to be about Igbos, by now this thread for don turn war zone.

Its funny that both communities are of the same clan. Izzi and Isobo speaks all most intelligible language. Why not settle the land dispute amicably as brothers?

akiOYIBO:
Foolish people, waiting for 2019 to oust out Buhari in election. This is above 2019, it is boyond election and politics. Who wins the election matters not whether Buhari or Atiku. This is Islamization!

Very foolish post. FG possess the capacity to halt the killings. Buhari is the Commander in Chief. Take note of that.

This is the same people Dave Umahi is romancing with. Oh God, please save Ebonyi state.

BlackPantherxXx:

1. Get an education

2. Write like a sane person.

ONLY then can we have a discourse.... now go and change your diapers

If not for the mod, I'wld have love to called you a fool. Ain't you a fool already for posting those nonsense

luwabrooklyn:
I truly wish you can get your Biafra so that all of you can leave Lagos ooooh



I will never buy anything from an igbo again

Please, don't buy. Keep your small money to yourself.

BankeSmalls:
In contrast, most other Nigerians go to the polls with hate on their mind. Do you know how we ended up with a dinosaur like Buharri? Its because some people couldn't endure to see Jonathan on aso rock because they think Igbos are enjoying his regime. These people operate on hate 24/7. Hate propels Nigerian politics, and I think Igbos should stay clear of the presidency. It will do them no good even if Obama fused with Mandela is to become and Igbo president, he will be hated for no good reason.

We all know the region that kill and maim innocnent souls for loosing an election. The butcher of southern youth corps members, 2011 general election, is still fresh in our history. Yet the dumb heads accuse Igbos of playing tribal politics.

BlackPantherxXx:

The bolded part is so true I feel like shedding tears for them. They would rather asslick non-entities in Yorubaland like FFK and Fayose rather than their own leaders. Can you imagine that the late Ojo Maduekwe said "any Igbo who wants to be President is mad" When late Alex Ekwueme was contesting against OBJ for PDP ticket ?

For the next 20-30 years, an Igbo man won't even smell Presidency. Nnamdi Kanu with his foolishness cemented that. Which Hausa man would vote for an Igbo? If ALL the political parties have Igbo candidates ...that's when you would see real abstinence from voting.

Nigerians are their damented hypocricy. smh. We've made it clear to you dumb skulls that your presidency will do nothing to the average Igbo if the system remain same. Why are you guys jerking up with so much frenzy? If we say we wan the presidency, na una go still cry fowl. We say we wan restructure, you idiots are still shouting like a mad woman on climax. We say we want' our own country, that one na python dance e' end. what the fuvck is wrong with Nigerians? What do Nigerians want from the Igbos for fuvck sake

FanYogo1:
There are more than 10 Yoruba businesses that can buy up the so called into businesses in the SE.....when they can't measure up to Yoruba's, the start claiming that we get FG funds...shamelessly playing down Yoruba hardworks.

They should come and tell us how much FG funds Andela, Paystack, Paga, Prinvinto, [b]Hotels.Ng [/b]etc all got. Yet they're Yoruba businesses that started less than 10 years ago and are already highly profitable companies.

Igbos no get competition mentality. Stay and develop your own region, Dem no go hear word. Dem go sit online all day to discuss Aregbesola abe Ambode.

@ bold are not Yoruba companies. Hotels.Ng is owned by Micheal Essien, an Akwa Ibomite. wtf with the lies man
