Nne don't mind him. He is just one of those dreaming to snag an Igbo chick but they all give him shakara treatment

Nigeria: 'Idoma Areas Are Marginalized in Benue'
http://allafrica.com/stories/201405051255.html

Tolexander:
Igbo people(i'm so sorry to have generalized) are known to always play the victim game in every situation they are. Hence the reason for always trying to neglect any issues relating to their politics.

The fact is that these people may likely be like the characters in the animal kingdom, they can't rule themselves.

You hear them shouting Biafra, yet you find them in thousands flocking every state of the federation outside the geopolitical zone.

Never knew you are Esan by tribe, I've got like 3guys from your tribe.
You people are greatly great, I must confess

EUROBOMBER:
Do you now see why we say Igbos are marginalised in this country?

LadyFiona:
I have followed your comments, and your line of arguments keeps dwindling to this current mediocre posts. I also happened to noticed that you weren't exclusively invited to the discourse but rather you barge in when you deem it fit as I did, so do not point fingers.

LadyFiona:
You are losing it bro. Individuals dregging a river without the explicit consent of the government and even building their own airports without government approvals while at the same time it is awesome for the government to upgrade MMIA and NAI and others. Port Harcourt airport was recently adjudged as one of the worst airport in the world, a federal government airport and what we are hearing is why the hell Igbos didn't upgrade it for their businesses.
Now you are comparing Lagos state with any eastern states, why not Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti.? These are places you should be comparing eastern states with the exception of Enugu which should be compared with Ibadan. Lagos is a former capital of Nigeria......compare it with Abuja.

EasternLeopard:
You can agree with me that it is far developed than any city in your region

DerideGull:
Mind you, Biafra was not allowed a day of peace in 1967. Again, today can never be 1967.

DerideGull:
I had being involved in building international airports aready. Are you an engineer?

EasternLeopard:
First and foremost

Lagos was the capital of Nigeria

Therefore don't use her as a standard

Rather use Ibadan.


As for dredging, since we are not in charge of our resources, it will be difficult to finance such a project.

DerideGull:
Per the bolded, what type of silly mindset do you have? Biafra does not mean war. Biafrans international airports shall be operational day and night. Are you the one to stop Biafran airports from being operational?

DerideGull:
If Nigeria refuse to smile with a young Biafra, then the grown Biafra will force Nigeria to smile period.

EasternLeopard:
It is a shame you think Igbos don't have resources to acquire dollars to finance the dredging of these rivers

Why do you think we champion true federalism

Besides we have the indigenous technology to dredge those rivers


NEVER UNDERESTIMATE WE IGBOS

DerideGull:
You are very slow. Ndiigbo built airport under the moonlight that accommodated any cargo plane of any size during the war. What do you think they will do in peace time and under sunlight?

DerideGull:
I remembered the Busia policy in 1970 or 72 and it did not affect the property owned by Nigerians in Ghana. However, you should remember the retaliatory policy of Nigeria in 1978/79. Again, the "Ghana Must Go Policy" only affected the immigration aspect of it but the properties owned by Ghanaians in Nigeria. My father in-law was in Ghana when idiotic Busia of Ghana started the craziness Nigerians must leave Ghana. In fact, he never lasted beyond six months and he was overthrown.

DerideGull:
We can still fly in our goods. Are you also going to close the air space down too? The manner in which write shows you do not even the when Igbo land starts and ends.

DerideGull:
The stream of thoughts being espoused by most Nigerians beg for redemption. Ghana achieved independence before Nigeria. When Nigeria its independence does not means that all properties owned by Nigerians in Ghana should be forfeited. Most Nigerians own properties all over world. There is no clause that deny them the right to their property simply because they are not the citizen of the country where property is situated. Biafra gaining independence does not negate the rights of Ndigbo or any Biafran over the property he/she owned in Lagos. There is no civilized country that would pursue such insane policy.

EasternLeopard:
If the mod won't hide my comment, Bittersoup you are right.

The problem with most people on NL is that they are not exposed to international happenings


Igboland has 4 major rivers linking her to the sea eg Niger Otamiri Orashi and Azumini


Once more, thank you for providing facts.

Bitterleafsoup:
They will have to pay higher taxes or what ever. Does it have to be ugly this is a global world. Nigerians have business every where in the world what does that have to do with anything. Why do we have to be enemies because we have our own country, what is the big deal?

Bitterleafsoup:
Why does it really matter? Is it not better to get the kidnapping, drug peddling Yeboos out of your hair? Stop taking tylenol for another tribes headache, we got this.

BraniacX:
what did he say pre-election on CNN?
so reality and truth only comes post election abi?

NRIPRIEST:
Thunder fire that your fingers you used in typing that .....money looking yoloba!

Bitterleafsoup:
No what I expect is for them to be getting to work, instead of instagramming all over the world. I expect them to have had polices or even a plan in place before taking over such a complex country as yours. Don't worry I will give you a workers visa to Biafra, you can be my boy boy how does that sound?

Bitterleafsoup:
I would rather look at Enugu and Anambra as examples because that is where I am from. How about your state talk about what you know.

BraniacX:
BY your reasoning, we might say buhari is still in hibernation as he has failed to deal with biko haram as he dealt with maitatsine so far so bad! there is a limit to making excuses for him you know

Bitterleafsoup:
Only time can tell. After what Rwanda went through could you believe that they would be doing better then Nigeria? We are a positive thinking people that is why we are so successful.

NRIPRIEST:
This is your wish...That even if they secede may there be friction between them and their neighbors so that they may not prosper. What a demented and wicked soul! May you never see the light of God in your life. What makes you our neighbors will turn their back on us and refuse to go into trade and diplomatic agreement with us? Do you think they are fools....Even if they try it they will lose at the long run...So many things will stand against them.

You people are just dying in jealousy because you lack the spirit of republicans and freedom in the Igbo man.....You hate that we don't worship and bow before any man like you all....It makes you feel inferior....Take Niger Delta and all the rest of your slaves in southsouth and let Ndigbo be. Let us be our self for once!! Leave us alone you children of demons!

As we can see from the examples above. These small countries will be about the size of Biafra. On top of that we have Rivers with plenty of fish and we are already farming fish in Anambra and other Igbo States.

We are not looking to leave Nigeria on bad terms, so I am sure we can utilize our neighbors docks when needed.
Regardless, Igbo people are one of the most innovative and creative peope on earth. Our main focus will be on exporting and manufacturing, with service jobs thrown in.

We should use our energy on planning for our future success and forget all these useless conversations about landlock and which tribes will join us. As for me I am okay with the 5 Igbo States, if others want to join so be it, Biafra will still be a success story like Botswana and Rwanda.

Bitterleafsoup:
Yes they do. Biafra does as well. I envision building a resort town around the Ogbunike ancient cave temple of Arochukwu in Abia. The Ogbunike caves have attractive waterfall as well as ancient historical value, because this is where the slave trade started in Igboland.

Anambra can be transformed into the shopping and retail desitnation for Africa. As well as expanding the already vibrant manufacturing indudtry. The possiblites are endless! All it takes is careful planning and execution. We are not expecting mind boggling results overnight.

We will welcome are neighbors from Nigeria to come in and enjoy life as well at the shopping destination in Agula Lake it will be a win win situation.
