Rhino.5dm:
would you stop attacking the massenger and deal with the massage? Igbophobia, is that the new name you guys coined for yourselves?whatever that means to you hateful lots.

I guess your bigotry blinded you from seeing your brothers cashing in to Boko Haram scenes to perpetrate evil, at thesame shifting the responsibility to others as usual

BTW, Do you have problem with calling a spade a spade?

Lagos Government and Igbo traders

By Chukwudi Achife

Bureau Chief, Enugu

==============The statement also frowned at what it calls the continued victimisation of Igbo living outside Igbo states across the country, stressing that the situation had continued to undermine the notion of unity and harmony of all people under the Nigerian flag.

Citing the example of the recent destruction of shops and goods said to worth billions of naira belonging to Igbo traders at the Ladipo market last December on the orders of the Lagos State government, the group alleged that Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu was bent on ejecting traders at the International Trade Fair Complex despite the fact that land was duly and legitimately leased by the traders from the Federal Government which is its rightful owner

Adeyelu recalled that since governor Chime came on board, he had written about five letters seeking for audience with him, to let his government know the problems of the Yoruba community but unfortunately none of the letters was replied.

He also expressed disappointment that Chime does not care and had not asked leaders of non-indigenes in his state the problems their various groups are facing in the state, just as he regretted that the immediate past administration cancelled the allocation of land given to the Yoruba community to build its secretariat by the former military governor of the state, Navy Captain Mike Agbaje.

Nigeria: Abia to Provide Water for Cattle Market

Anayo Okoli

9 April 2008

Government says it will soon reticulate water to the cattle market located at Lokpanta in Umunneochi Local Government Council, on the the Enugu-Port Harcourt Express road to improve the living standard of the Hausa cattle traders and other traders in the market as well as Lokpanka indigenes.

The Government said the action is part of its effort geared towards ensuring that all parts and sectors of the state are provided with social amenities to better their living conditions

google or no google? am everly a "student" of History, I have books (ancient), witnesses and pictures regarding Nigeria-Biafra events.i have got  no time to do a comprehensive research about that cos i know the internet might not be unbiased as regard the actual resources in the igboland,

Thanks Nchara for your points but u guys should be ashamed of yourselves that your lands are left unused (undeveloped) despite the huge amount of money you realized from all the natural resources, i went to ebonyi for a film shot and I made some  relevant observations, thanks once again, I have really learnt alot from the argument, infact, one article written by an ibo phd holder made me to understand that:
Southeast is only about 3/5th of Igboland. Igboland covers the whole of Southeast, parts of Rivers, Delta, Benue, and Akwa Ibom states.
this contradicts what my igbo history student wrote in his project ooo.why now,

dayokanu:
Hmmm Maybe its time for Igbos in SW to shift small to their towns

eGuerrilla:
Won't add anything else to this appraisal.

sbeezy8:
they need to relocate to the East not SW

Quickest way to achieve Biafra peacefully is igbo staying in Igboland investing in igboland not running all over the country making things complicated.

londoner:
@OP, the way forward is for Igbos in the north to relocate back to the east.

tpia@:
is there any evidence there are 3 million igbos in kano?

when did they arrive there, which part of the east are the majority of them from, what was the effect on the home states and hometowns of the exodus of such a large number of people.

i believe i've asked similar questions about these demographic shifts before.

prodam:
To you dede1, all what you have been saying i dont understand cos your posts lack harmony of words and sentences, and i guess that was why i have not replied to your earlier post,
u wrote about a record in 1965, 47 years ago, how many more states have been created over those years? what effect did the civil war had on the people of the east?

Get my stand clear, If the regions were to stand alone, the Igbos would be most affected,
how did Nigeria win Biafra, i heard it was "because there was shortage of food in the east", am i right?

the igbo land consists of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, and parts of Delta and Rivers State. Small parts of Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Benue and Bayelsa State,
as I said, only Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, would be forced to join the biafra nation and what do they have to offer, for your info, what these states have in common is lead/zinc,, i still repeat they can always count on their land,

karfe:
Of course, I understand there are Ndigbo in Delta and Rivers. However, if I go with what I read on NL, those from Rivers, and some from Delta appear to have separated themselves from the rest of Ndigbo and only careful politicking, not coercion, is likely to make them accept that identity again. Remember there are French people and Germans who are from countries other than France and Germany

These are the things that ought to be negotiated

karfe:
@ Houvest,

have you considered the implications of having all ndigbo staying in the current south east? the population density would rival that of Bangladesh. its bound to have some socio-political and economic implications 10-20 years down the line
