Questions which keep bugging my mind, why are many Igbos still living from year to year in the north?... especially in hostile environments like kano, northern kaduna etc?... It's no news that Hausas hate Igbos with a devilish passion and would gladly shed Igbo blood at the slightest provocation.

Second thing I cant understand is, for those citing the blood thirsty nature of northerners as the basis for the clamour for secession, how will merely changing the name of the SE geographic location to 'Biafra' stop the blood thirst of irate northerners against Igbos who have insisted on living in the north?... cos one thing I know for sure is that the Igbos living in the north arent doing so because the SE isn't economically viable; Igbos travel around the world for business because it is in the nature of Igbos to travel for business. So how is the secession supposed to help these Igbos up north?

1. Igbos live in the north because Igbos are mainly traders and they move all over the land looking for less competitive environment to expand their business very fast just like the herdsmen are moving all Nigeria landscape looking for pasture for their cattle.

2.Igbos are not mainly into lower cadre of police and armed forces which they normally called recruit in Nigeria,this employment take care of many northern youths and the excess of Igbo youths survive on trading, Onitsha, Aba, PH which is the major business centers of the east is filled up and highly competitive,the north have less competitive environment due to it vast area.
3. If they have Biafra their citizenship will change and the killings will stop because they will no longer participate in the politics of Nigeria and the Nigeria will be very conscious to protect foreign investment to avoid diplomatic rows with Biafra, the security agencies will never tolerate attack on foreigners because that will have serious consequences on the economy.

Am a Hausa man from Kano, so when someone lie against my state, I have to respond.

Look, in life, you have to take some certain risk if you want to make some headways.

She called Hausa people barbaric and I was offended. Imagine if Trump called black people nasty and dirty, the whole civilised world would have descended on him. Anyway, am not even comparing her to Trump; I think a Nazi will be more appropriate.

Una own barbarism is too much abeg,imagine what the Boko haram is doing in the north and you are here telling us that she called you people barbaric,cant you see that your people are very barbaric,bombing market,school,killing here and there.

Mune:
Anybody can make such a video and spew whatever trash he likes. As they say, video, pics, or mention names of those butchered or i don't believe.

Look, nobody is forcing anybody to live anywhere. If you don't like a place, you live. She said " Hausa people are barbaric" . I can't also call Igbo people barbaric, if I can use the same yardstick she use to arrive at her conclusion.

Finally, she ain't even sounding intelligent but emotional.

If that is the case Nigeria is not country,imagine a country like South Africa and somebody from Capetown cannot live in Johannesburg,then while are they living in the same country,let us tell ourselves the truth,we all humans with conscience from God.

Everybody from the South that have live in North have the same story, the best thing is to hold referendum and separate.

nigeriansvoice:
Arewa youths should forget about the Igbos and in the north and other humans. The target should be all the news papers who have made it a tradition of spreading biafra news everyday. Stop the selling of the papers with biafra news in your areas and regions which will stop it all over the country and see how the biafra nonesense will die. This is an idea. Ideas rule the world

Why are they afraid of Biafra independence and at the same time want Igbos out of the north.

vayne:
Ultimatum or no ultimatum,our stance remains thesame!

Let the country divide peacefully after which everyone can relocate!

You can't ask anyone to relocate when the division process has not been concluded,conclude it and see if any Igbo remains anywhere outside igboland!

If the north wants a breakup,they have their members in the HOR through which to channel their idealogies!

1)Why is the SW so scared of condemning the approach of the north towards secession as it did to NK led agitation,under the guise of "following due peaceful process",what are they scared of?

2)why can't the SW tell the north to represent their case through their members in the house of reps like they always tell igbos?

3)why haven't they threatened the north with war like they did to Igbos?

What are they scared of?

The SW hate the truth and always run away from it, they prefer the statue quo where nothing is working, if the northern arewa is serious and not cowards liKe SW,they should mandate the FG to grant them Biafra and them give them ultimatum to relocate to their country.
The northerners and some south westerners should stop deceiving their-selves, they are all afraid of Biafra sovereignty

Yorubas think that the north will spare them when time come and most of them are happy on the ultimatum giving by the northern youth,the same article mention that 500 Hausa-fulani was killed in Ife and they kept blind eye on that one.#
Time will tell
Kiss the truth.

peacengine:
Yez nau u r talking. Good luck Biafran

Referendum will decide who stays and who leave,one man one vote.

peacengine:
I be cross riverian and I de boldly say we hate biafra for me side

Then your people can remain in Nigeria,is not by force but by choice, that is why referendum is needed to decide those who wish to stay and those who wish to opt out

peacengine:
I'm a real Niger Delta, igbos u r on ur own here. If u don't want peace with odas den enjoy ya Biafra solo

There is nothing like real Niger deltan,Niger delta is made up of Bayelsa,Delta,Imo,Rivers,Cross River,Abia,Edo,Ondo,Akwa Ibom and is made up of different ethnic groups, speak for your own tribe and more for yourself, when the time come for referendum,vote for your tribe to remain in Nigeria and do not drag others with you.

try to understand no one is asking for another person to be massacred. The northerners have told you in plain terms to go. You think if you decide to leave anyone will stop you? You will be allowed to leave you just might loose all you've worked for. That is why we've been telling you guys to think before acting. You all pined your hopes on one man to do all that for you. You should have asked kanu what plans he had to move your properties down to alaigbo since his methods and practices obviously didn't include such. Tell me are you willing to leave peacefully if you are evicted without your properties?

Those northerners are cowards and not serious, they have not tell anything in plain terms,the plain terms is to mandate the FG to grant Biafra to Igbos then mandate them to leave to their country,then the Igbos will have a government policy that will engineer and manage the influx of displaced people into Biafra. Let the northerners stop deceiving their selves until they call for creation of Biafra and then the eviction.
After the creation of the State of Israel in 1949 the Jews evacuated Europe and after the independence of South Sudan they left Sudan, Igbos cant move because there is no sovereignty yet to champion their goal,IPOB and MASSOB is asking for Biafra,what they should do is to grant Biafra instead of beating about the bush and moving in circle.

I have notice that some miscreant and low lifes are so bitter about the Igbos and are wishing that they are massacred,Why cant you guys mandate Nigerian government to grant them Biafra and then ask them to vacate to their country.Many people calling on Igbos to leave the north are cowards and hypocrite,you want them to leave but you don't want them to have Biafra,who is deceiving who .it doesn't have to be through committing genocide against the Igbos,the northerners should stop behaving like cowards,let there be peaceful separation,self determination is not a call for war,you must not force people to live with you

jollymizzle:
begging? Seriously are you for real? In what universe does a quit notice translate to begging. You seriously haven't thought of the possibility of programs against igbos? Look you may soon have to fight another civil war, and by the looks of it, you would even be more unprepared than you were in 1966. Now with an even less experienced leader in kanu. I seriously don't get you guys, what is the point of continuing with a failed tactic. You igbos need your elders now more than ever.

Why are you people so bitter about the Igbos in wishing that they are massacred ,If Nigerians are tired of them,they should grant them Biafra and ask them to relocate to Biafra,it doesn't have to be through committing genocide against the Igbos,the northerners should stop behaving like cowards,let there be peaceful separation,self determination is not a call for war,you must not force people to live with you

soliddust2020:
Why do you ipobs always find it difficult to accept the truth, if only you can visit SS to see how the people detest the idea of biafra. Known leaders, youth groups and popular sons of the region have warned you guys to back off. Who takes the fat clown Asari seriously in the region, all he does is make noise to get juicy contracts. I remember how he was always made noise during the time of Obasanjo and Yardua, but he suddenly became a Nigerian when GEJ was in power. What has he done to help his people from the region, if only you know the numbers of investment he has in Benin republic. Accept the fact that SS is not part of Biafra and move on. Visit any where in the region or join any online forum of the natives and call them biafra, them go warn, you go chop better slaps for some places. Agitate for your group alone and stop all this forceful begging.

There is nothing like SS,the region is made up of different ethnic groups,that term just came from Obasanjo regime,I pity any SS tribe that will vote to remain in Nigeria during the referendum,they will just be wiped out as the fulanis are doing in middle belt and southern kaduna,dont think that this ethnic groups are not wise,Niger delta republic may not work out because of lack of cooperation between Ijaws,Isoko,Urhobo,Binis,Efik,Ibibios etc,if they unify they can form a republic. For now Biafra is the best option for them where they will have a bargaining power

sukkot:
nah bro we make our own cities liveable and nice so we dont have to go and live with strangers to look for money. try doing the same. develop the east so you dont have to always run away from it. and in the case you have an adventurous spirit and want to live with other tribes, try to be meek and humble and try to blend in. stop always abusing your host. it is counter-productive to abuse your host . nothing can be gained from it

Stop making a fool of yourself here,what is yorubas doing in the North,london and other parts of the world,stop this your hatred on Igbos otherwise you die young

Thank God, they have done what I have been preaching since they release that their reckless statement, IPOB and MASSOB is directing their agitation to FG and they have done the best thing to direct their own to FG,let there be referendum to demarcate Biafran border and then issue ultimatum for Biafrans to return to their country.

I am happy to hear this,no war, no killing of innocent,peaceful separation

EvilMetahuman:
nope.
there is freedom of speech. I can't sue kanu for saying shit, I can only sue him for defamation.

Kanu wasn't arrested for things he said, he was arrested for things he did. Like running pirate radio, waging war against nigerian state etc.


The difference here is, when kanu started his madness, if south east leaders and governors had condemned his act and south easterners didn't see him as hero, everyone will see him as just a mad man seeking attention like fani kayode or fayoshe.
Kayode has said worst sheit, but no pays him attention.

But the way south east handled is what brought this about.

You don't spread hate and expect love in return.

They didn't even say that they will attack igbos, they will just deport their hateful asses back to their mudland.

,You have absolve your Hausa-fulani slave masters of any wrong doing,wonder whether the said Radio Biafra is not the same saying and talking talking,Kanu wage war against Nigeria,when

nigeriansvoice:
Igbo politicians are playing with fire that may consume their children and later they will start shouting genocide. Warn the ipobs and massop like the northern elders have done because the biafra you are shouting is a mirrage and politics against President Buhari and the world knows it.

A call for self determination is not a call for war and it has the backing of UN,you cannot force people to live with you, referendum is used in different part of the world to solve it peaceful,killing innocent people will not solve the problem,IPOB and MASSOB have not kill anyone.

femolii:
U are saying the truth, they think they will stay in north n west when they get biafra.

They want to get the Biafra first,any other thing is cowardice on the other side, you cant send people packing and at the same time refuse that they will not have an alternative way of survival. You choose one between the two.

ajalawole:
can u hear urself. They are not match and they cut off food supply

The British,Egypt and Soviet Union won the war for Nigeria because of oil interest giving to them, Ojukwu refuse to strike a deal with france to give away Biafra resources to them,Igbos fought the war with little assistance from Israel, Israel is also fighting war with Arabs at that time,so they have a full hand and gave Biafra few ammunitions,France ordered Cameroon to cut off food supply because Nigeria agreed to cede the disputed Bakasi peninsula to them,if the war was fought on Neutral ground; Nigeria Vs Biafra,Biafra will win the war.
If the world decide to cut off food supply to Nigeria even though Nigeria is not at war,hunger will kill everybody because 60% of food items is imported.

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
This Kaduna declaration saga has confirmed the already known fact that the ibos biafra agitation is not well intentioned. The call for biafra is the default mode the ibos enter into whenever they loose youth of the politics at the centre.

I had expected that the ibos, in furtherance with their biafra ambition, would have started leaving the North, following the ultimatum given them by Arewa Youths. But it seems the ibos would rather die in the North than go back to iboland.

The ibos want to break away from Nigeria but at the same time they still want to remain in other part of Nigeria.

The ibos want an independent iboland but at the same time they are afraid of going back to iboland

You are just confirming that you people are a cowards,people tell you to grant them a country and they will go and you are telling them to go first then you will grant them their country,who is fooling himself here,stop making mockery of yourself and accept that Nigeria need the Igbos more than Igbos need them otherwise the northern youth should mandate the government to give them their Biafra and kick them back to their country.

LionDeLeo:
Nonsense.

How did they react when some species of nematodes were busy insulting everyone in the name of some dreamy utopia self determination?

Why is it that these idiots in black can't issue warning to the miscreants fanning the embers of war since the 2nd qtr of 2015?

Even the SS accepted the election results in good faith and have since carried on, but some rats won't just let us be.

The agitation started way back in 1999,what Obasanjo administration witness in the hand of massob is like that of IPOB but he handle it maturely and uwazuruike give in.

Afonja and skull mining

Wanlai tanlahi doing drug is better than this Afonjas them skull mining,in drug business you sacrifice yourself not cowards that kill people for rituals,nawa oooo

dealslip:
Bros, have you heard of Nigeria's indigenization decree of 1972. Why were you all clamoring that the Nigerian govt shut down MTN, shop rite, DSTV as a result of the last xenophobic attack against Nigerians in SA

why Igbo exit is paining you people to the extent of clamoring to seize their properties,thought they are not wanted

dealslip:
But Nnamdi Kanu insulted the Yoruba tribe, the North called the other regions all sort of names. Promised to destroy the zoo, told IPOB to stone Pastor Kumuyi. I am surprised at the fact that you are now talking about Individual attacking you, NK attacked alot of people. is he not an individual. Now you want us to join hands. Enough of this please.

since that time till now have Nnamdi kanu kill anyone be it hausa or yoruba,individuals dont have power to do anything,ipobs are been killed by Nigerian forces for agitating,if those youth are serous and not cowards[b],they should be pressuring FG to stop killing Ipobs[/b],release all of them from prison,grant them Biafra and ask them to leave.
We are not babies,lets stop pretending, the northern youth are cowards and not ready

But they are not talking about independent Biafra

Sterix10:
IPOB/MASSOB has crossed their limits,the most funny thing is that the northerners which we considered unlearned behaved more matured with those idiots,but every tolerance has it limits,d have tolerated it enof,now d have given u ur Biafran,go home,moreover u igbos are no match to those Zombies,death in battle is automatic ticket to paradise n 7 virgins,Igbos are calling for their own extinction,if other factors are kept constant,Igbos can never defeat Hausa/Fulani

,people of sw seeing Hausa-fulani as their demi-god, have Igbos kill any one,which tolerance are you talking about

Skull mining gone wrong,the man deserve to be dealt with

EvilMetahuman:
then leave the north like you have been ordered to do.

Nigerian government have the responsibility to do so,IPOB are directing their agitation to FG and not ethnic violence, not low life charlatans,let them mandate the FG to grant them Biafra then ask them to vacate to their new country.
