this promote lesbianism.

I use made in aba shoes, when I was in port Harcourt, these shoes are really really nice, I Still have them till today, durable ( the gum and everything). just that the leather covering of the shoe starts peeling off after 4-5 years. BT 4-5 years is enough for a shoe bought at the rate of 1000 to 1,500.(not in ariaria itself ooo). there are some shoes u buy for 15 to 20k that won't last 7 walking ( not working) days. so more grease to their elbow.

i ve never tasted snake.. feel like eating one now

av eaten snake once, gaboon viper. it takes like fish and red meat and chicken at the same time.

nope I wouldn't, Black's are the way they are due to bad government headed by selfish people. I believe that I can bring the much needed changed that blacks needs,dreams, and sort after.

girlvyn:

The reason u r not seeing it is bcuz greedy Nigerians r re-baggin the locally made rice in a foreign bag and sell it as foreign to us. saw it live at sango. ogun state. we Nigerians r the one killing ourselves. change shuld really begin with us.

that because they believe this local rice won't sell in the market. Nigerians believe that anything foreign is the best. BT I believe that with more sensitization and promotion of this said commodity, we will get there. I myself am even planning on getting at least a bag of the said anambra rice on route to IMO state where am from during the festive period.

PedroJP:
Someone tell these fools to go and nyash down. So they termed it alleged while it happened under their various noses.


They waited for AI to investigate, analyse and publish the story before they react.

I thought these people are representing fellows from this zone ? Oursiders now allege to them what is happening to people they represent.


Bunch of infested Nigeria dullness




Which Federal government are they even asking to probe the alleged killing? The one that killed them or the one that shows contempt for them.


Instead of making direct statement, these money minded frogs are hiding begind Amnesty report to show their cluelessness.

don't mind these embarrassment we call senators, from the south east. very docile being. after how many months.

okay, what Yoruba about this, true the Yoruba promote African fabric by putting them on all the time, back in the day, Yoruba hardly put on English cloths ( I loved that and am try to emulate that) these days their youth go with the trend seen in music videos( this time patronizing the works of my aba brothers, I also commend them for that). BT this fabric has nothing to do with Yoruba or Yoruba's, this fabric Is worn all over Africa, Senegal, Liberia, Tanzania. I know it as African fabrics and nothing more.

let them first do what they want to do in the east first, BT this thread is coming too early. this should have come at a time when every proposed project would have enter near finishing stage, we all know what we want. the south east will go for what will be beneficial to them.I don't see buhari running for second term.

babsir:

A southwesterners/ Yoruba ...thanks

okay man. eku iseh.

supported, abia state and anambra state should do the same, they should go to those retail shops to sieze this goods, when they do this twice, those retailer won't patronize those that deal on imported rice and both parties would look inward and patronize state grown rice. kudos to the governor.

i don't know about others o...i love Igbos, i grew up with them here in Lag and i must say they are good people..currently dating one of thie daughters and she gives me no wahala...i just dont know where the beef is coming from...#amnotanAfonja

what are u??

kii...

Lol, park one side joor.

thedarkside:


thats why in the kingdom white people will not be allowed to own any land no more..

their addiction for land is crazy...

in the kingdom kwa, what kingdom??

thedarkside:


you are landgrabbers..

you think because igbo speaking people are in the delta,the ol delta is igbo too..

you never took your time to study other none igbo speaking tribes..a tactical mistake..

now when someone makes a mistake as u just said. do u call them names or do u put them through on the in of things. am tired of this baseless emotional argument.

thedarkside:


please stop using maps...

we africans dont draw maps..

its not our nature...

Lol bro, we have to know our boundary nah. and respect it.

mathy001:

\\Nor be your brothers start am?

Check every thread involving culture and ethnic politics on Nairaland, IGBOS derail them all.

That's the reality every other Nigerian lives with.

I believe we are all matured, and know how to put our emotions in check. the best way to frustrate someone is to ignore him or her. let he or she battle it within his or her thought on why u ignored him/ her. u have made ur point, u don't want uhrobo in the biafran map, like with himself he also doesn't want uhrobo in the biafran map. Una suppose don leave this thread make we enjoy am nah.. shooo guy must u guys drag ur feet on this matter, if them bring Una two nah make Una begin fight. waiting we go de hear na ( slap me nah, no u slap me first ). fight Una no go fight.we have agreed oooo, no more uhrobo and uhrobo won't be added. make Una mind rest.

am done with this thread, so many childish, market women clapping hand at each other rant here. this was a healthy debate before hand. I guess it has been hijacked.

OILSOUP:

noted! will get back to u on that.

looking forward to it.

OILSOUP:


The map is not complete. Where is Opobo? Where is Bonny? It is not complete.


After the Biafra war, alot of igboland was stolen during Gowon and subsequent northern government state creation, to cut igbo down to size.


Igbo speakers are in Edo, Kogi, Benue, Cross River, not including Delta and Rivers.


On the Coastal front you have Opobo and Bonny Islands. Igbos were never landlocked.

that the best map I can come up with. u can help me with one if u have, or u can be kind enough to help us make one. if yo less busy.

mathy001:


You see bro. Ethnicity is our problem in this country.

I simply believe every ethnic group should go their separate ways. The only way we can solve the problem of ethnicity is if we start learning to stretch hands to others. In the South, only Ijaws treats Urhobos with respect and mutual kindness and we will die with them come what. They are our ally and brother.

I believe he meant no disrespect to any other tribe, BT the other people see igbos and this biafran stuff, the see the Igbos as a laper that needs help. and when words fly people get pushed to the wall, and they don't give a damn who is hurting or not. the minorities in the south needs this, and are suppose to be championing this struggle more than the igbos themselve. after the oil u can't go back to fishing, u cant go back to farming, the oil industries will pack up and leave, the land in the south west has not been ruined neither that in the east or not. we u want to get something from a man, u massage his ego. the rest of Nigeria will continue to massage the ego of those in the oil rich region until things dries up, they leave u and me with nothing no good schools no industries no training. BT believe me brother if u do not have 100% resources control in Biafra then u can go to war with the igbos, and I believe u will have the backing of some regional national powers as well as world powers. the Igbo are not after ur oil, we want to leave Nigeria and develop at our own pace.

OILSOUP:


Your map is not accurate. Opobo/Bonny, Benue, Edo, Kogo and Cross Rivers have igbo and igboid groups.


We will take every inch of our territory, not leaving the ibibio and efik that are with us, whilst we extend invitation to others.


Once the exercise is completed, there will be no room for any miserable set of people to be admitted into Biafra Republic at a later date.


U either join or forever hold ur peace.

the maps covers all the Afro mentioned segregated part.

mathy001:


We are minorities, not because we choose to be but because there are larger groups around who keep reminding us of that and of these groups, IGBO is NUMBER 1!

Like I said, IGBOPHOBIA is REAL, just as URHOBOPHOBIA is. Water for water, blood for blood.


I have never seen any IGBO youth online talking about peace apart from Ngozi123 who has always maintained Igbo first and Igbo alone on this thread (things that breed peace). I have never seen any Igbo youth contented with their own. I have never seen any IGBO youth online trying to build bridges. They give us more and more reason to hate Ndiigbo and hate, we will!

I don't want to go into this useless argument going on between the both of u. yo both fight over nothing like market women. now phobia the map shows that Igbo has stretched a lending hand toward those region in and around it. this is our collective fight, u have gained nothing Nigeria yet they give u a reason to destroy ur own land after ur waters has been destroyed. am worried about the Niger delta as a whole, u can't get water from ur water ways and now the land is been soiled with oil. getting water via borehole will be another issue entirely. when the oil dries up everyone will go their separate ways, I pray the Niger delta will not be in ruin before then.
in Nigeria u can't fight the 3 major ethnic group, BT in Biafra all minority with combined force can go toe to toe with the Igbo If ever they feel shortchanged. yo okay to call Igbo names call them anything u want. all I urge u to do is to think.

pazienza:


Something close to that, give or take.

that the only colonial map that covers both the Igbo and Ibibio territory. BT this is the map of Igboland. and please stop arguing with that guy, yo more matured than that. those who know ur worth would love to align with u. I am also an advocate the republic of Igboland. BT am still keeping my finger crossed on the awka-cross region.

pazienza:


That map is a mad house. Zoo second edition.

Why would any sensible Igbo man want to share a nation with bitter elements in Edo , Ijaw and Edoids? What do we have in common with those people? What would be the basis for such proposed unity?
Don't tell me the silly tying Of two wrappers nonsense, cos that sound so retarded and I am always ashamed whenever I hear my people utter that nonsense.

Our aspirations, ideals and ideologies are at variance with those people you lumped us with on that map. There is no basis for unity between us and them.

And the more you lots keep parading that I'll thought map around, the more you massage these people whack egos and the more you bring ridicule to Ndiigbo.

Desist from such nonsense from today.
Go through this thread:https://www.nairaland.com/2697890/state-alaigbo-igboland-map/1
To keep in touch with pragmatic realities.

I presume this is the map u want?

ndoeyopbennet:


I maintain my grounds that Biafra will succeed only when Igbos stop bringing in other unrelated tribes. The Urhobo-Isoko, Edos, Itsekiri, and even Ijaw, have nothing in common with Igbo, unlike Ibibio that shares some cultural affinity. Many Igbos, in trying to make the territory larger, forcefully added people who are uninterested, based on their popular opinions, in the map of the proposed Biafra.

Again, Igbos have been creating more enemies instead of making more friends. We need to build bridges as a people, not destroy them. Just because we don't need people to create a country doesn't mean we dont need good neighbours and allies. Igbos, especially the e-Ipodians, have managed to burn bridges with other groups, including Ibibio, based on what most of them say online.

It will be very ironic if a group demanding freedom from a contraption end up forcing people into another. Biafra will certainly be another Nigeria if its ethnic groups/minorities are too many.


All-in-all, we should advocate for self rule based on ethnic borders. Igbos should fight for igbo autonomy and not that of any other group. Such things breed resentment.

u can create a thread, advocating for an Igbo only country. BT I would love those akwa-cross to be in it. I just love those people.

I think this is a simple thread that deserve a simple answer, but bad eggs have turned it into a spiteful thread. where are the one Nigeria-list, please come and give valid answer to this thread ooo..

jasysandra:
This issue of Biafrans including uninterested people in their Map is very funny. Delta state is even included in the map . I have been told severally by people across the Niger that Asaba igbo is not real igbo even when they can understand me clearly and I they. I just wonder how we will fare in a country such as biafra when we are already being discriminated against.


All ye barkers and eaters of destiny,if you mention me...........

are u from asaba, if yes then I understand ur pain. BT u should know that the people that have suffered the highest discrimination in igboland are the mbaise's. discrimination or not this struggle is what binds the Igbo larger society. I have friends from asaba & agbor. if u take a look at those discriminating, u will find out that it either those that learned trade that has no wide scope of the Igbo region apart from the 5 state, these are the kind of people that believes that Igbos can only be found in the 5 core Igbo states. I for one never believed that there was any Igbo in any other states asides from the 5 Igbo states, that was when I was much younger. so u see it easier for the small to notice the big, than for the big to notice the small. the igboid groups in the south south know more about the igboid groups in the south east because they constitute the small, while those in the south east constitute the big. don't be angry when these things happens, it ball down to the ignorance of a few. sorry if their attitude hurts u in any way.

pazienza:

1. Biafra proposes a form of government where each province will have total control of her resources and only contribute to the centre.
In Biafra, smaller groups like Oron, Eket, Andoni can unite and have their own province with full resource control and pay tax to the central government.
There won't be any land use decree.
IPOB had stressed on this times without number. Even Ojukwu Biafra was divided into provinces,with non Igbo speaking tribes having their own distinct provinces with indigenous administrators.
You need nobody to checkmate Igbos under such arrangement.
And moreover, naturally, Igbos exist in clans that do checkmate each other, there have never in history been a period when Igbo groups United to conquer a non Igbo speaking people.

2. Why should the capital location be an issue, since it's not going to be a case where people were milked dry so that FG and go build up Lagos and Abuja?
It will be all province for themselves.
We can apply the three capital system of RSA. The legislative in one Province, the judiciary will be hosted by another province and the Executive by another, all these can be negotiated.

3. This is totally irrelevant. Truth remains that Ndiigbo had never annexed non Igbo lands in the past. Arochukwu was only one that was annexed, but when you factor in the fact that Arochukwu was won by a union of Aro, Ibibio and Akpa( Ekoid) people, then it could hardly be termed annexation.
Ndiigbo are not empire builders. Annexation and expansionism is not our trait. We are republicans by nature.
No Nigerian state government was ever going to approve being part of Biafra, even. Enugu state government denied Biafra. So citing Delta state government response is quite irrelevant to the issue of Biafra. Nobody expected any different response. But IPOB and their Biafran ideology is well received by the commoners in Enu ani, which is why Asaba is an IPOB stronghold.

4. This again is a trivial matter. Each province will have their own language and English as their official language.
English will remain the lingua franca.
But this is quite funny. You are scared of an Igbo national language, but comfortable with an English non African lingual franca.

The scenario you painted of someone being denied position because of ethnicity will not happen with the structure Biafra intends to run on. The provinces will be stronger and more lucrative than the centre. It won't be the case of Nigeria.
Moreover, I personally don't subscribe to a Biafra with Ijaw, Edo and Edoids( Urhobo, Itsekiri, Isoko), when I think of Biafra, I think of Igbo, Igboids and AkwaCross, cos these are people we share similar ideologies with.

Infact, I'm only replying you because you stated that you are from AkwaCross area .
So my use of Biafra during the course of my reply represents strictly Igbo, Igboid and AkwaCross and maybe Ogoni.

5. Igbos are often the subject of caustic attacks by those groups you mentioned, which I personally don't consider part of Biafra.
Go to Ijaw facebook pages, Radio Niger Delta, and even here in NL and see the amount of hatred towards Ndiigbo emanating from those quarters.
How many times have you seen Igbos hurl insults at AkwaCross people? Rarely. Why? Because you hardly get Igbophobia in AkwaCross area. AkwaCross people are all over Aba, they understand the Igboman and the Igbo man understand them, they don't show us hate, and in return we don't show them hate.

This generation Of Ndiigbo know better. We will not allow Igbophobic elements whether from
Ijaw, Edo, Edoids or Yoruba go unpunished. We will reply them with so much hate that even lucifer will marvel. Actions must be met with reactions.
So, if you think we are hurling insults at those children of hate, then you are John snow, cos what you are seeing is only just the beginning.
Peeps must be forced to learn that Igbophobia will not be tolerated by Ndiigbo, simple.
I have no intent of sharing Biafra with those people, it's only natural that they stick to their Arewa masters, you know what they say of birds of same feather.

6. Again Nnamdi had made it clear he has no political ambitions in Biafra. Even if he does, the kind of structure Biafra intends to run on will make the centre only ceremonial, it won't be same all powerful Nigerian president.
Ndiigbo had no problem with Obong of Calabar rulling the Eastern region house of Chiefs ahead of Eze Nri , Eze aro, Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnewi, etc. We had no problem with Eyo ita ruling the Eastern region , Adaka was voted by Ndiigbo in UNN as the SUG president, we voted a Fulani as the first Mayor of Enugu, we all voted an Ogbia man, GEJ and stood by him when all abandoned him even Ijaw men like Clark abandoned him since.

We are more than capable of voting non Igbos.
By the way, remove Urhobo here, I don't consider them part of Biafra.

7. How exactly are Igbo leaders the most corrupt in the country? What did you smoke?

Are thieves like Ibori, Amaechi, Silva, Abacha, Obj, IBB Igbos? Please don't provoke me with this Igbophobic statement, cause you won't like the outcome.

Biafra will be structured in such a way that government will be too close to the people. No more Abuja jamboree, that alone will curb the excesses of the politicians. They will be under closer scrutiny by their people,and since each province is going to be ran by what they produce, it will force leaders to think outside the box.
The abrogation of the dubious Obj created land use decree will hand the lands back to the natives and the government must serve the owners of the land and not the other way round. All these will change the political orientation and task leaders to be more productive and transparent to earn the people support and trust.

8. Again stop dragging Edoids and Ijaws into this. You gave the impression that you are from AkwaCross area, but so far, you keep raising issues about the Edoids.
Not once have you made mention of the Oron struggle for independence , Obolo and Ibeno struggle for total control of Akwa Ibom coastline wealth, the Ekoid land disputes with Ikwo and Ezza clans of Igbo, the land disputes between Ndokis and Ibibios, these are real issues surrounding the AkwaCross Igbo relationship, instead you are focused on issues occurring in distant non related lands.
Don't give me the impression that you are an impostor claiming AkwaCross.

As for your question on utopia. Biafra will have the richest of human resources in Africa, it will have access to enormous natural gas deposits in Imo and Anambra, Coal in Enugu, crude oil reserves in Imo, Anambra, Ndoki, Etche, Asa. As well as those in AkwaCross area if you guys decide to join the party.
It will also have an enormous patriotic diaspora population spread all over the world ready to come and invest home as well as attract foreign investors, as the Biafran government will create the enabling environment for business to thrive.
The possibilities are endless.
Keeping the country peaceful is equally part of why I don't fancy having the Edoids and Ijaws in the Biafra, as doing that will unbalance things and create chaos.

9. That is just a proposal. I don't consider Itsekiri and Urhobo parts of Biafra, any body that put then on the Biafran map is merely fishing for their reactions.

We don't share same life ideology with those people. I see no basis for unity with them. We can't be running away from a mad house( Nigeria), only to end up creating another mad house in Biafra by inviting bitter people with whom we share little with to form a nation.

When you know you are going to be running your province with whatever you produce, and that there won't be monthly allocation coming from Abuja, you wouldn't be bothered about those creating 1 million provinces for themselves, since they would have to run them with their own resources and not yours.

That's the great thing about the Biafran proposed structure. It eliminates the things that turned Nigeria into a failure.

10. Biafra is not going to be a parasitic state, so there won't be any need forcing any unwilling group into it.
If an ethnic group within the proposed Biafran area votes against Biafra , then they are free to go their way. It's as free as that.

As for electoral manipulation, you can't rig where you are not popular, it will cause chaos. IPOB is too resolute and more than capable of securing the votes and ensuring no such manipulation occur.
The Biafran structure will take care of Igbophobia, by first ensuring that overwhelmingly Igbophobic elements as found in Ijaw, Edo, Edoids don't become part of Biafra.

The total resource control to the provinces and decentralization of the government, that will create will a very weak centre and strong regions will eliminate the. thoughts of phantom Igbo hegemony that exist only in people's mind.

NB: I personally subscribe to an Igbo speaking only Biafra first and foremost, but not aversed to a Union of Igbo speaking people, Akwa Cross( with Andoni of course) and maybe Ogoni too.

I subscribe to ur school of thought, it like u took the whole word out of my mouth, even if the ijoid and uhrobo were to join the train, I think they have the population to fight off this their imaginary Igbo domination, now with Biafra u have only the igbos as ur imaginary problem, which I don't think will ever come to fruition because igbos don't care about who is leading the country, provided yo fair and just. not Nigeria where u have to slug it out, with other major and minor ethnic groups, the Parliament will be equal on both sides.
resource control will speed up development in and around those communities where mineral resources are found. there is enough gas in the south east. we have human resources are keen on making things happen. I don't think the Igbo will dominate the south south region, because we have equal population if not more on the south south to checkmate the Igbo if need be.

I think the president is just trying to make the south west jealous, the south west shouldn't go into panic mood. if this project where to be for real then I commend the president. like a man said it either Biafra or true federalism.
one pretty thing about regionalism is that, we won't have to point fingers at the man at the center BT rather, our regional leaders. we won't have to blame anyone but ourselves instead of blaming others, regionalism would also encourage healthy competition and put the brains in all region to work on how to woo investors.

EVarn:
To quell agitation for Biafra,the FG must give special consideration to the SE.To be frank,that region is in a mess and their leaders are simply too selfish to make use of the little they have to transform the region.

Also,the Igbo people should sit up and play politics that is geared towards populist interest.Not the current house-boy politics they are playing.

the thing is if u take a look at the background of most politician for the east. they are not educated go thru their history, the educated ones are not the ones in power. they simply shy away from it.
