Quick question guys:
If Nigeria breaks up today and every region goes their separate ways, who will now pay Nigeria's debts?? Who will pay back all the billions that Buhari has been borrowing since?
Or will they share it per region? 'Cause I can't imagine starting a new region with debts. Me I no get Shingbain to give anybody o

Hungry never waya una, by the time hungry waya you and your Okaighele youth leaders nobody will tell you people before selling all your lands. Oba Atópę, Iseeee Mumu.

EmekaA125:
If you like be surprised a million times, na you Sabi. We don't sell or give land to non-Igbos in SE. Go to Borno, Yobe, Oyo and Kano to purchase as vast land as you want. Mtcheeew

Juliusmalema:
Good you directed your questions to Ebonyi people.

Others don't know about this practice..

What you explained is alien to us....and the system of land ownership also alien to us.

We don't practice such.

Practice such in where?

OBALOLA55:
EGGXACTLY!

complexBoss12:
That's why I said he exaggerated. My last paragraph I talked about landmass, a community can decide that they don't have enough, so no sells to strangers, whether ancestral or not.

OBALOLA55:
MORAL LESSON: YOU CANNOT GIVE OR SELL WHAT YOU DON’T HAVE

OBALOLA55:
APART FROM ANCESTORIAL LAND, WHICH OTHER LAND DO YOU WANT THE DOT IN THE CIRCLE LANDLOCKED SOUTH EAST TO SELL. IM WAITING FOR YOU TO LAND BORORO

OBALOLA55:
HEAD DEY PAIN YOU BRUH

IBADAN IS BIGGER THAN ALL THE SOUTH EAST COMBINED TOGETHER

NIGER STATE IS BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE SOUTH EAST

EVEN WAR RAVAGED BORNO STATE IS NOT LEFT OUT.


SO HOW DO YOU EXPECT OVER 40 MILLION DOTIANS TO SELL THEIR LAND

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU

Okutanla1:
Op, what the guy told you is a common practice in igboland. They generally don't sell land to non-indigenes. Sometimes they implement the policy in subtly ways. They may not say it openly and candidly like the Ebonyi guy was sincere enough to, rather they will frustrate the efforts of the non-indigene to buy and take possession of the land. Some of them may deny it publicly but it is an open secret to many non-indigenes that have lived and interacted long enough with them.

The guy exaggerated certain things, so I will make some corrections.

Not that you can't sell your land, but an average Igbo would rarely sell ancestral lands. infact, it's highly improbable. These lands are not just regarded as properties, it's a heritage that you are expected to pass own to your children and them to their Children. An Igbo will sell land under duress, that's as a last option to solve a problem. But anyone who is found to have a penchant for just sell
ing properties is regarded as unseriouse in life.

A community can decide that our lands a few, so we are not selling to strangers, but it's not because they are not welcoming strangers or travelers. (Generally, the South East is known for landmass like many other regions)
