@ OP, I'm Igbo.

Once you marry an Igbo, you're married to his family. This is the basic.

The first thing you have to do is talk to his mother. Talk to her as often as possible and always refer to her as mum. Once you have her on your side, there's nothing to worry about in your marriage because she will fight him if he treats you bad.

Don't mind those that said he doesn't love because he hasn't introduced you to his family. It's your duty to make sure you know his parents and siblings; everyone of them. Push him until he introduces you to his family. This is very important.

Don't worry about relocating to Nigeria because often, Igbos in the US will remain in the US but will often visit Nigeria and try to go with him whenever he goes to Nigeria.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=855268.msg10048507#msg10048507 date=1327529763]I hate it when people read an article and put in a one-liner. . . "interesting"; "brilliant"; 'I agree'.

Anyway, hey ekt, should I let my tongue roll on this topic or should I restrain? I don't want to start off your post leading a rebellion squad. 'tell you what, I'll just roll, please tell me to shut the fvck up if Im messing things up. grin

There is a story about behavioral training for circus elephants. You leash the back limb of a young elephant to a stump buried in the ground and limit his roaming distance to just few meters radius. You feed him there and attend to his needs there. As he grows you keep him tethered in that one spot, changing the weight bearing load of the rope to match his deleoping strength. By the time he is ready for circus entertainment he has grown super large and tremendously powerful that its almost impossible for you to control his movement and direction. The only advantage you have of managing his movements and subordination is the limitation of perimeter movement burnt into his memory over the years. So as you unleash him and tell him to go. . . . .he stays there and go round and round in circles, in the same pattern of movement he is used to doing since a baby. He is dispossed and robbed of his instinct to roam freely and follow his innate desire to graze all over the grassland. He struts around in circle. . . the precise order of movement you need in the tent circus, in front of the clowns and the wide eyed children and their parents. These parents have brought their free-spirited children to watch and be amused by a child who was robbed and disempowered of his own natural given instincts.

Isnt that pitiful?

Nigerians are robbed! Even when the condition makes it elementally possible for us to go home and begin a new culture now that we have a weak government and an ennabling separationist in North begging us to go away. . . . we remain immobile and dont know what to do or how to begin that new nation we cried so long to have.

Its a pity!![/quote]I barely read your post but I have to say you have a very interesting analogy up there.

The opportunity is right there in front of us but we are, unfortunately, psychologically trapped in this country that no one (mostly those in position) knows what to do to free his people.

Politics › Nigerian Army Engaged A Boko Haram Member In A Gun Battle For Over 4 Hours. by Obiagu1(op): 6:51pm On Jan 24, 2012

Now I see why Boko Haram cannot be defeated
A Boko Haram vs the Army for four and half hours. shocked

Soldiers and State Security operatives engaged in a four and half-hour shootout Tuesday morning with suspected members of the Boko Haram sect in Kano leaving a man and his wife dead.

Uzairu Abba Abdullahi, aged about 30 years and his wife, were the suspects killed in the gun battle at Hotoro Quarters Layin Makabarta in the Kano metropolis.

According to agency reports, the combined team of security operatives swooped on the house, suspected to be a Boko Haram safe house, shortly after midnight.

However, rather than surrendering the occupants are said to have opened fire on the soldiers and SS operates setting off a shootout which lasted for about four and a half hours after which Abdullahi and his wife were shot dead.

"They came in large numbers, some of them stayed on the main road, while others came in through the alley. They began shooting, and he fired back, This was followed by a barrage of gunfire by the security men," a neighbour, Mohammed Maikubi Bala said.

Empty bullet shells lay strewn in a pool of blood just a few steps into the house. A cousin squatted near the blood.

"I was called and told that my brother and his wife had been shot. He was a simple man known to be peaceful and as far as I know he has never been questioned by the security over any links with Boko Haram," the cousin, Shehu Idris, told AFP.

A car in the driveway was riddled with bullets and its windshield smashed.

Relatives and a crowd of curious neighbours mingled outside before police came to search the house.

It was not clear where the sound of explosions emanated from although a resident suggested there was use of heavy machine guns during the raid.

"Everybody in the neighbourhood was in fear. We couldn't sleep," said a resident who lives a few houses away.

Residents had feared the city was under fresh attacks just days after coordinated gun-and-bomb attacks on Friday killed 185 people, more than two dozen of them policemen, in Boko Haram's deadliest ever operation.

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch, believes attacks blamed on the Islamist sect Boko Haram have killed more than 935 people since the group launched a violent campaign in July 2009, including more than 250 this year alone.

The group urged authorities to put a stop to "this campaign of terror" and prosecute perpetrators of "these reprehensible crimes."

"Boko Haram's attacks show a complete and utter disregard for human life," said Corinne Dufka, HRW's West Africa researcher.

Also on Tuesday, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, Enir of Kazaure, Alhaji Najib Hussaini Adamu, Emire of Dutse, Alhaji Nuhu Mohammed Sunusi and former governor of Kano State, who is also traditional title holder of Sarduanan Kano, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, Tuesday visited the Murtala mohammed Hospital, Kano to greet victims of last Friday’s bomb blasts across the state.

ezeagu:
Lagos is a strong drug Igbo people will take some time to take over, especially those that can't travel abroad, in short travelling everywhere on the globe is. Going to Lagos for an easterner is the equivalent of going to Los Angeles for an American artist. Some actually believe they'll become instantly rich in Lagos, I don't know if it's because of the limited choices, or because of the Lagos-travelling culture the whole of Nigeria has been bred with.

Anyway, I don't see Igbo people travelling in large number back to the east, even if a western standard ultra-modern sea port was built in the east, after-all they've abandoned Port Harcourt.

You got a point here. The Igbo are really too slow in moving into southern part of former East because of abandoned property saga or is there something else I don't know? They still remained in PH though. Surprisingly, they'll rather move up North than Calabar or Uyo or Yenogoa.
I hope it doesn't become another Tinapa or underused like PH international airport.

To rival Lagos, they'll probably should make plans to connect the port with Onitsha via good roads or rail line.

It's a matter of choice. Edo is almost inseparable from Western Igbos. Biafra will be a union of peoples and very dissimilar to Nigeria and no one is more important than the other. Beaf is from an Edo group too.

Politics › Re: Proposal For A Country Out Of Eastern Nigeria. by Obiagu1(m): 3:54am On Jan 24, 2012

@ ezeagu

You're idea is very similar to the country I have in my mind.

In brief.

A nation called Biafra that consist of SE states and willing SS states (open to Edo groups)
Will have 5 provinces: Igbo, Cross River, Ogoni, Ijaw (if they join), and Edo (open).
Provinces will have as many divisions as they chose to.
Resource control: 15% federal, 40% Province, and 45% divisions/cities.
Citizenship: No indigeneship! Everyone is a Biafran and will have 100% right in wherever he chose to live.
Police: No Provincial police! Federal will have few Federal police while divisions/cities will have the core policing duty.
Army: 100% federal

Politics:
There will be a President and a Vice President; and a Supreme Court (Federal)
No federal legislature!
Provinces will have the legislative duty and laws will vary from province to province to suit their culture and need.
If the federal wants a law harmonised across the country, such will be communicated to all the provincial legislative houses to deliberate on.

No rotational Presidency angry

No federal character angry
