You already have Nigeria but there are millions of Nigerians living outside Nigeria, and thousands running out every day

But you are coming to ask why Igbos are not living in the East for a Biafra that they are yet to get?

What sort of stupid thread is this one? Nigerians and their double standards.
nigerians living outside in total re not even up to 20% of nigeria populations.
But over 60% of fake jews from alaigbo re stuck in Egypt cheesy

Wait a moment grin so you were actually expecting a straightforward answer to some excruciatingly daft question asked by a half-wit who for starters ignorantly stated 80% of Igbos live outside the South East, so if that's the case what then is the population of Igbos left in the East? ... like are you lots on this forum actually starved of any shred of IQ and cognitive reasoning? this is actually very embarrassing


Listen, I am not your mate per IQ and don't have time for your diversionary pedantism. Forget the 80% mentioned and focus on the substantive point of how you Igbos constantly harp on about wanting Biafra, and how Yorubas hate you, yet you have the biggest populations of Igbos in the world, outside your home of SE Nigeria, in SW Nigeria.

Your biggest abode, aside your home region, is in the land of a people who "hate you" and, generally, at least 40% of Igbos alive are outside the SE shouting "Biafra" from every nation of the world.

I don't know how anyone can miss concluding the obvious which is that the actions of Igbos,despite their noise, shows they are insincere and hypocritical.

Igbos want to live anywhere except in Biafra.
For a people clamouring for secession, you'd think most Igbos would want to live in Biafra but no.
Half of those vituperating on twitter and Nairaland actually live in the SW.
One would have thought the first thing to do was to build Biafra and make it an enviable place.


5% of Yorubas live outside Yoruba land
10% of Hausas live outside the north.
A whopping percentage of Igbos live outside Igbo land. (about 80%)

What am I not getting?
Kids every where !

When they left and declared republic of Biafra in 1967, your fathers allied with the north and other tribes fought for 3yrs and brought them back in the name of one Nigeria. Your question should rather be , why did Nigeria fought to keep the Ibos in Nigeria...

You didn't even attempt to answer the question.
Explain why a people that wants separation refused to separate by living in the territories they preach against.

Are you saying that there are no igbos living that biafra? The last time I checked, the south east has one of the highest population density. So what's your point?

Don't mind them. How do you validate living away from a place you claim to love in preference for living with "enemies"?

The only love I see Igbos display with their way of life is a love of money and showing off and not genuine love of ala Igbo or themselves.

I love Lagos and all homes I own in Nigeria are in Lagos and Ogun State which is also in the SW. That is normal.

I can't imagine going to live in Kaduna or Anambra for 11 months out of 12 . Lunacy. I would rather find a way to make money that allows me stay in my State and region that I love genuinely than following money blindly to then be arguing and dragging with Anambra and Kaduna folks that I "developed" their State.

Egbon save all these bloviated tripes for your fellow redundant comrades-in-reasoning on here, you don't sway me with your pathetic attempts at trying to sound intelligent when your tomfoolery is as profound as it gets... you don't need to point out how stupid you are per your IQ grin, your IQ evidently is too low to even measure up to my lowest metric of my intelligence at a relaxed state of me not even trying... even at my highest level of casual stupidity I'm still ahead of you at your best you recalcitrant simpleton. You want me to forget the 80% balderdash concocted by your daft colleague, even as glaring as the brazen ignorance gets, it's necessary to harp on such preposterous assertion because it forms the premise to any intelligent discourse that can be salvaged from this thread in the first place... where are your statistical facts that Igbos have the biggest population demography in the world? where did you collate your "facts" from? the sheer audacity of an uncensored dolt like you to even justify your bullsh*t accentuates my earlier point about your questionable IQ.


Your biggest abode, aside your home region, is in the land of a people who "hate you" and, generally, at least 40% of Igbos alive are outside the SE shouting "Biafra" from every nation of the world.


And here we go again with another round of horse sh*t, maybe I should suffice it necessary to enlighten/inform you that there are more Igbos resident in the North than in your shitty paperweight region, it's only in Lagos it can be argued that there's a huge population of Igbos, you dolts just been knocking yourselves out with suffocating ignorance, it's interesting how you've surmised from the cradle of your slum in Ogbomoso that 40% of Igbos outside the SE are clamoring for Biafra... and even if that were the case, is there any crime in that? the world is a global community and any tax paying individual resident on any part of the world can assert his right to self-determination you cretin!



I don't know how anyone can miss concluding the obvious which is that the actions of Igbos,despite their noise, shows they are insincere and hypocritical

For a yaribanza pig like you to take high stand of the moral high horse and call Igbos insincere and hypocrital, when duplicity and facetious are part and parcel of your people, it's borderline asinine and disingenuous that you shameless degenerates were the same people not long ago that castigated, mocked, and even celebrated the extra judicial killing of defenceless Igbos by the Nigerian government... now you're the same people today shouting oduduwa Republic upandan blah blah blah blah...

I have never seen a Yoruba man in Enugu or Afikpo. There might be Yorubas there but their numbers are very small.
Now if you go to any SW state, you're bound to see an Igbo man every 5mins, we are all over the place.

The British fought Biafra by proxies (British Nigerian Army) so you guys dont scatter their company,Nigeria plc.
If Igbos suceed in leaving other tribes would have left Nigeria too.
The brits got to do whatever it takes to keep sanity in their company and maintain one administrator.

Most guys who put up this questions forgets government policy and marginalization against the south east people.....other regions don't move out cos they have seaports, large markets and occupants paying rents for houses and lands, so where do you expect them to go...let me give you an instance in Rivers state, ikwerre land. Some parts depend on tenant rents and dnt bother to work.do you expect them to leave there region n house rents to come work for you in your region?
Is there any federal government presence in the south east? Do they have intl airport? Do they have seaport? Any good roads? Even the on going rail projects in the country did not pass tru there region? Then govt policy, how did ibeto cement folded? Despite having a huge market in the town, what is happening to onitsha seaport? Do you expect a youth that wants to survive to stay back here? He will definitely moved to where government have provided enabling environment.
So even if Nigeria break up, they will come back home or remain foreigners in other land if the conditions suites them....so let's be guided on how we comment here...
For me Nigeria have pass the stage of breakup, what we should clamour do is justice, fairness n equality for all ethnic groups.

answer to your question! as it stand's the reason why igbo are traveling to other regoin is simple.
1. Southwest:house's the sub-continental business hub there by enabling the neighboring state to fare well.
2.North:this are the people in power,so they tend to be a higher cash flow in the regoin.
3.middlebirth:this regoin play host to the nation's and E.C.O.W.A.S capital so they tend to be stable life there as compared to the other part.
.4 southsouth:oil!

if Biafra becomes a country of it own then the cash flow in abuja no longer matters because the new capital will be where the cash will be revolving.the country will now power it trade/commerce to it new commerce city making it more economical. Then power will now revolve around the country making the capital more powerful..igbos going back to s.e now makes no sence.why because apart from the people no extra power is backing it up. North:power. West:port m/b:capital city. S/s:oil . East:? Simple something undecided

@ Op I don't know your aim or what you intend to achieve with this irrelevant post? Why can't you be concerned about the wellbeing of your tribe? Is it not primitive act and wickedness that make enemies of Igbo to be shouting one Nigeria, then vow that Igbos will never be president? What are really your fears about Igbos achieving Biafra? Please don't be shy just state your worries. Everyday we keep seeing irrelevant post about Igbos. Please grow up. The way you see Igbos outside Igbo land(other state hustling) is same way you find white expatriates in Nigeria hustling. Smh
