So i am wrong

Godfullsam:
1. Nobody marginalised the igbos. Nigeria is very magnanimous for giving the SE 5 state. Ordinarily, igbos dont deserve more than 2-3 states when you put the land mass of the entire SE into consideration.
Infact, all the SE combined is not up to Niger state.
2. Igbos lost 3million lives because of the greediness and foolishness of ojukwu. He pushed your fore fathers into a needless war and cowardly abandoned them in the war. You cant blame any one but your leader for that.
3. Go and do your findings very well, igbos properties were were returned to them in many part of the country after the war.
All their properties in the SW were returned to them after the war. Stop this victimhood and do your own research.
4. Again, nigeria is magnanimous for giving your fore fathers 20 pounds to start a new life after the war you really need to thank chief Awolowo for his magnanimity, sympathy and inclusiveness.
It takes a heart of gold to embrace your defeated foes after a fierce war and still give them the opportunity and means to start life all over again. Mind you, the 20 pounds is not a chicken change at that time and many igbos benefited from the kind gesture.
5. You talked about cut-off marks for admission into federal universities, have you check that of the SW west? Have ever heardseen the SW complain? Only the north are given lower cut off marks. This is because they are seen as the academic disadvantaged regions. The aim is to encourage them to pursue education. Stop seeing this as a means to target the igbos.
6. You talked about Dangote and Adenuga as if other businesses in the SE dont enjoy government patronage and supports directly or indirectly.
I challenge you to mention any igbo businesses that have not enjoyed government supports one way or the other. Dont mention all these 2×2 shops or those fake drug factories o. Is it innosson that have not enjoyed government support and partronage?

dangote and adenuga are businessmen

Listen,the IGBOS have every reason to brag and nobody can stop them from it. If you can't praise them,the sands in Nigeria will do.
Now listen to why they brag.
(1) Of all the political regions in Nigeria, they are the only one been marginalized, yet the hold their heads High; 5 States, when others have 6-7, which has resulted to lower representation at the national level, Lower federal allocation and anything federal.
(2) They lost over 3m souls during the war, which no region in Nigeria has ever experienced, which resulted into destruction of their lives and properties, denying them their rights at the federal level,yet, they are still breathing and breathing well more than 50yrs after the war. If not for their sheer determination to succeed, the Igbo tribe would have gone into extinction. Which tribe or region has this awful experience and yet breaths well in Nigeria?
(3) Their properties were declared abandoned, after the war, but they recovered to build superlative properties, in their homeland, Nigeria and outside Nigeria, which tribe has done this? What is the contention today about the IGBOS in the S'West especially Lagos State? Isn't that the IGBOS have bought everywhere?
You are talking about Dangote and Adenuga, did they suffer.what an average Igbo businessman have suffered in Nigeria in terms of government patronage?
(4) They were given 20 British Pounds after the war, in exchange for whatever amount they had in the banks then, but today, it has become billions in the hands of those people without any government patronage, Which tribe has this record?
(5) Can you remember where they IGBOS were in Nigeria before the war time? Were they cheap and layabouts? No they weren't.
(6) Check the cut off mark for any Jamb examinations and that of federal government schools, our children cutoff mark, can give them admission into any University of federal government schools, but it's not so with other tribes, and you said they shouldn't brag?
I can go and on. When you see an average Igboman boasting and bragging, it get why. Forget it brother. Were it not for the war, we aren't cheap in this nation and the world.

you are now saying they should carve out igbo portion and make a country. Is that what you want
