The population of Muslims and Christians in Igala land is 40% Muslims, 60% Christians.
In Idoma is 25% Muslims 75% Christians for the Idomas in Benue
They're also Idoma speaking communities in Enugu state (Ette)which is under Igbo Eze North LGA.
TV in Benue is 40% Muslims

Igbo-Igala uche e

Wasn't the impression I got from research.

The schools actually belong to the church before it was taken by the government.. Most of the public secondary and primary schools in Anambra re located in church compound...

That's not the issue. maintaining the schools and paying teachers is the key issue and the government still does that. If today's Church pays teachers, do you think average family would afford to attend public schools?

Who?

The west

Are you saying western world are in support of dissolution of Nigeria?
Western world would resist any force that make attempt reason is Because they benefit massively from one Nigeria.

Every loan has strings/conditions attached. Period of repayment, how the loan should be invested and what happens if the borrower nation fails to pay up must have been discussed. Likewise every emerging country that does so peacefully through a referendum has a period of transition wherein negotiations on trade, payoff, citizenship status, critical asset sharing and proper broundry adjustment are done. It is this period that issues of shared liability like loans are discussed. Realistically, Biafra has an obligation in the loan repayment. But the moral issue of how the loan was spent and who it benefited most will shape the outcome of the negotiations. China has the power to veto your membership of the UN as an emerging country if such proper negotiation is not done, just the way Russia did to Kosovo. That is why dialogue is always the best policy.

Coming to the present scenario, Nigeria is obviously helpless. The bloodbath and ethnic cleansing has kept their western allies cringing from a distance and looking desperately for a solution, which I'm sure includes separation. If Nigeria moves too close to China now, they'll play too much and fall into the emerging cold war between the west and China, which can even hasten the separation.

The west is even more wary of China now. with the spying accusations, the Hong Kong law, the Hugwr Muslims camps, the clash with Philippines over South China sea, with Japan over mountainous islands and with India over border territory, the pressure on Barbados to remove the queen as head of state etc China is pushing to assert itself. Nigeria moving to China to cover for the bloodletting means inviting the west in a way.

where is nowuse ?

SaintBishop:
You can't even spell properly who want to engaged in a debate with a dumb head like you? when the time comes, it is that same bonny and opobo people we are going to use and kick igbos out of ijaw lands.

Lost jews

e pain am. stop talking of ijawland. speak of ijaw swamp. How can you kick people out your land when you are not living in your swamp? Your people constitute nuisance in PH, sandfilling PH waterside and making a slum out of it all in a bid to have land and you're taking of kicking people out of land. You must have had your usual feel of your kai kai and vomiting nonsense.

ijawcitizen:


Bonny and Opobo are already in Ijawland and it is not up for contention. Smell the meal Ndoki people are cooking for you igbos.

We are already redrawing our map and that southern stretch of abia state in-between rivers & Akwa ibom where Ndokiland is located has already been taken...

You cried Abandoned property in 1970, you will soon be singing Abandoned territory.

You are redrawing your map from Bayelsa? Even the Rivers state I know, ijaw has no presence. There is no ijaw in Rivers state. Everyone knows that. What you have is Igbo and central delta ethnic groups who are a mixture of Igbo and other tribes. Opobo is in ijawland? smh do you even know that the ijaw appellation is a political one? How does European servants and porters who settled on Niger delta mangrove swamps qualify as an ethnic group. What you call ijaw today is a recent migration of some African fishermen and edoid groups who intermarried with Igbo's and whites without an established civilization.

What is the meaning of Brass? Opobo and Bonny? These names are either gotten from either whites or the indeginous people of Eastern region.

Every ethnic group from the Eastern region is Igboid. so called ijaw is infinitesimal and your noice don't bother us

ijawcitizen:
The ethnic identity of the Ndoki People in Rivers and Abia state has been a topic of heated debate between the Ijaws and Igbos on this forum in the time past.

Today I have decided to post screenshots of what real Ndoki people say about themselves.

Enjoy....

heated debate with who? You must have been debating with your own imagination and strange voices you hear.

At the right time every body will answer his fathers name. You'll find yourself back to your mangrove swamp and the Igbo speaking Opobo and Bonny people of central Delta people will chose where the belong.

DexterousOne:


Did you say "academic exercise?"

This ruling is as potent as anything

I bet that over 95% of Igbo's don't know about it talk more of coming to agree with it. Females inherit properties in Igboland although most fathers are much more reserved when it comes to lands. Only ancestral properties are barred by tradition to be inherited by women and that won't change tomorrow. For some places where women are totally forbidden from inheritance, it is a traditional issues not a legal one.

Do you know that eastern region parliament abolished OSU system about 60 yrs ago? But I bet the members themselves wouldn't agree to married osu if they met one afterwards. Which is why its is still practised where it is found today.It is a traditional issue and can't be settled by legal show-offs.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/04/inheritance-supreme-court-voids-discrimination-females-igboland/

Isn't this an old news? Lalasticlala

and how does the court get to rule on "tradition"? It is an academic exercise.

It is an insult to name Onyeka onwenu, Christy Igbokwe and evi edina alongside those mediocres except for perhaps, Nelly Uchendu.

looks like sponsored write up.

GeneralKoko:


Lai Mohammad is the minister of information and communication and the NBC ( Nigerian broadcasting cooperation) is under him . He is the right person to regulate what is to be aired or not .

BBN would be banned , Glory to God
If you don't like it
Take rope and do the needful IDGAF

Information ministry has right to regulate what is aired but such must be within their mandate. If the programme content violate broadcasting code like showing nudity, NBC can stop it. So far they have not given nudity as a reason, only ministry of health through ncdc can prompt the show's closure on account of covid 19 violations. But ncdc had given clearance for the show, that was why NBC demanded a written directive from the minister to clear themselves of any legal liability that might arise. Because If multichoice sues, multichoice will win with damages and your own money will still be used to compensate them. I support the ban but it must be done reasonably not for sharia.

As for the bold, I hardly reply people with toutish tendencies. Just felt I should educate you.

NCDC is the right agency to stop it as far as covid 19 guideline violation is concerned not lai Muhammed, except there's something we don't know.

Ike nwachukwku has Fulani blood.

when we ask some saboteurs to check who their real parents are, we mean it.

grandstar:


No privilege my friend. Many Igbo girls bugged me for marriage. No different from other tribes.

ouch! I thought you were Igbo. In that case it's up to you to feel funky.

grandstar:


Shouldn't you be happy someone wrote this. A good name is better than silver and gold.

Yes, a changed perception helps. He might one day marry an Igbo girl. Many NL members because of this post may also marry Igbo. Many before this article would have sworn never to marry Igbo.

Perception matters. It does epp. What he has done is to endorse the Igbos. And it is endorsement given by a non Igbo, you should be pleased (Read Proverbs 27:2).

i beg your pardon.
marry Igbo? to whose favour?

People are privileged to marry from igboland not the other way. Igbo's need no validity from people, their uniqueness is self evident.

Archaeological findings say Igbo is the oldest.

which one is "Nigerian suya"?

And thousand of soldiers killed by BH should be forgotten?

They didn't state the states that'll make up their country, how did they arrive on the claim that their territory is bigger than UK and Germany?

If you think ngige's success ever had tinubus input you must be dreaming.

Ngige already had his base. Acn was even privileged to have him sell the party in Anambra. His expulsion from pdp lead to PDPs downfall till today. So he is no pushover.

there's a difference between the richest man IN africa(based in Africa) and the richest man born in Africa

pray tell

someone actually wrote Lagos in the same sentence as Dubai. If we have a place like Lagos in Biafra then Biafra would have failed. Lagos is just a crowded metropolis controlled by the federal govt, the Igbo business men and expatriates. Despite the preferential care from the federal govt, the huge revenue from excessive tax and other sources, the city is still very poorly governed at local level with mountain of domestic and international debts. Compare Lagos GDP with another city with its population and you'll be left shocked. compare infrastructure like housing, transportation, water supply, power supply and security in Lagos with its population and you discover Lagos doesn't stand a chance with any city in the world. Should anything happen to Nigeria with its FG, the Igbos will be out of the picture, expatriates will relocate too to a more business friendly environment, your Lagos will be cut to size like Ibadan the former western region capital. I like abuja despite the fact it is being sustained solely by Federal govt/oil revenue. it has more livable neighborhoods than lagos whose good neighborhoods are just a fraction of the entire crowded city.

Lagos is not the type of city I would wish for the Eastern region. Biafra should be decentralised. Having a large number of thriving cities with small or optimum population and large GDP. Onitsha, Aba and PH should decongested while Enugu, owerri, Asaba, Calabar, Uyo, Awka, Abakiliki, Nnewi, Umuahia etc should develop simultaneously with High GDP, open ports, airports, good roads, industries,power supply etc

Well, the same terrorism is frustrating Buhari and frustrated Yaradua beforehand.

And the South too has its own long list of security issues.

The problem is job scarcity exacerbated by an import dependent economy which stifles job creation and makes education unattractive. More idle youths, food for Boko

you didn't answer my first questions.

kikero:


It isn't.

The political elite is made up of Muslims and Christians.

The civil service is made up of Muslims and Christians

Sharia law does not apply all over the country, and even in places where it applies it's not that seriously enforced.

Plus the reason why Buhari wins is because the potential opposition to him is divided.

And because we are a resource dependent economy, job creation is stifled, which means that competition for jobs in the civil service is tight, which leads to accusations of bias. If our economy was industrial, that won't be happening

Who controls the executive, legislature, judiciary, military and police? Muslims or Christians? answer me.

The only time we had a break from the fulani Muslim oligarchs was Jonathan era and we all saw how terrorism was employed by them to frustrate him.
