What does that mean?

Not like they speak same language or have same culture.

Some people are born to blame everyone else for their great grandparents' mistakes. They always think they are wiser than others in all scheme of things. Open your eyes and heart to see the reality of life dot com.

"There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behaviour that can offend; by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness" -Chinua Achebe

The Jews with all their humility and conservative way of life were roundly hated in Europe and frequently expelled by different countries, culminating in the holocaust.

Humans will always hold on to a reason to vilely hate what they can't understand.

So miss me with the BS.

As for the OP, your thread is in very bad taste and is only designed to whip up anti Igbo sentiments.

You and your ilk in One Nigeria apparently get orgasms from Igbo baiting and bashing.

Knock yourself out

As for South Southern useful idiots, remember that when they start killing 'Igbos' in the North as they frequently do and for the flimsiest of reasons, anyone who does not look like a fellow core Northern muslim (with that ominous dark dot of their forehead to boot) will be massacred.

To them over there, anything across the Niger River is Igbo or Yoruba. Do with this information what you will.

Also, you have to agree, if you have some modicum of common sense, that the creation of the South South region was for the greater good, no matter who developed' the idea.

Lastly, if Biafra comes at any time, be fully aware that indigene Igbos in your states will definitely want to leave the cursed One Nigeria for Biafra. Another information to ponder on.

It is always the case that people who cannot discuss issues (who don't have the brain power and emotional fortitude to discuss issues) always resort to discussing personalities. They cannot engage with ideas so they resort to ad hominem attacks against people that discuss these issues.

Hate, bigotry, anger, fights, insults, those are the only things that they understand and it's the only thing that they can engage with. It's all they do and all they see in others. They cannot discuss issues.

Chai. IGBOS are the Architect of their own problem.
They created everything they are against in Nigeria today.
* Aguıyı Ironsi abolished the same Regional Government that, Igbos are clamouring for today.
* Nnandi Azikiwe removed Referandum from the Constitution.
* An Igbo président created the Cattle routes across the Country in the 60's.

naptu2:

No he wasn't.

Furthermore, apart from getting Ukiwe's position wrong, you have stated, without any evidence, that Alex Ekwueme, who you admit was a member of the group you talked about, was wrong in his description of how the idea of the South-South was created.

Dr Ekwueme was detailed in his description of how he created the idea and how the only other person that contributed to the idea was Bisi Onabanjo (read the interview). Can you provide proof and evidence to show why we should believe you over Dr Ekwueme?

What makes your word more credible than Dr Ekwueme's?

Here is an excerpt from the original article written in 2010:

At the Mkpoko Igbo pre-Conference summit in Enugu in April 1994, a document that called for the creation of six geo-political zones, the zoning of top political offices (especially the presidency) and rotation of power among the six zones was fashioned out.

There would be three zones in the North, including a separate zone for Northern minorities, and three in the South, including another separate zone for the Southern minorities.

The Igbo elite mandated former Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme, to lead the presentation of this agenda at the Conference, with Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and Dr Sam Mbakwe as his able lieutenants.

Ekwueme did a fantastic job, but the North, which opposed the geo-political zones and zoning of the presidency, accused him of trying to break up the North and whittle down its influence, which was not far from the truth, anyway. This was one of their reasons for dumping him for Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999.

It was also due to the efforts of another group of Igbo intelligentsia led by retired Commodore Okoh Ebitu Ukiwe that led General Sani Abacha to create Bayelsa and Ebonyi states on October 1, 1996 , while also approving the geo-political zones, even though it is not (yet) in the Constitution as the Igbo recommended.

Wait till you find out how Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom came to be. Umu anumanu. Igbo Domination kee you dia! Your irrational Igbo hate is the reason for this thread and the reason your Nigeria remains doomed till tomorrow. You think you are doing us. Keep fooling yourselves. Lunatics, Everywhere!

Insightful. God bless Nigeria.

Great, so simple chronology solves this issue. Which came first, 1983-1985 when Ekwueme was in prison and developed this idea or 1994 when he presented it to this pre-conference summit?

It's simple common sense.

Read Ekwueme's interview, maybe you'll understand.

(I already know that all regions had their pre-conference summits. In fact, the Northern pre-conference summit is on YouTube. That is where people present their ideas and it's where Dr Ekwueme presented his idea, but the idea existed before 1994).

This is awesome!

Go repeat weting you talk so for either Porthacourt, Delta, Bayelsa or Akwaibom. If you come back in one peace, call me bascard.

I will never be moved by the so-called insightful story. Either south-south or south east oooo that wan no concerns me Biafra is the only message I long to hear now. Biafra nation will united the people of the South-South and East in one body

Biafra only consist of the 5 EASTERN States. Besides, Biafra can never see the light of the day. Cause it's a Pipe dream.

The craziest and funniest idea here is from the people that ignorantly claim that this has something to do with hatred for Igbos. That level of ignorance is astounding. What the heck does this have to do with the Igbo ethnic group??

Is it because Dr Ekwueme is Igbo?


This idea was created by Dr Alex Ekwueme. Ekwueme is one man. He is not every Igbo person. The idea was his. It is not the idea of every Igbo person.

Does this also mean hatred for Yorubas, because Chief Onabanjo contributed to the idea?

Does it mean hatred for Kanuris because Abacha accepted the idea?

Or does it mean hatred for the entire Nigeria because the National Assembly adopted the idea in several acts?

The level of silliness is shocking.

I believe that sensible people know that that argument makes no sense. The people who are trying to derail the thread with such nonsense are only doing it because they want to stop me from answering questions and busting myths. They can never stop me.

Half baked education is as dangerous as terror.

Truth + Error =Terror

Facts always exist with empirical and verifiable proof. It gives no room for sentiments.

Read and understand.

A map/geographical North, West, East and South is different from a geo-political nomenclature.

Ever8090:
Oh my God!!..this is very very insightful and helpful, I have been confronted with this issue on several occasions by the children of unnecessary hate who love shifting blames and always looking for others to take responsibility for their own actions that failed to backup their current material for hate against others.
First it was the issue of construction of a railway from Nigeria to Niger Republic, the music coming out from the east was that, Buhari conceived and gave birth to the idea, but it was letter reveled that it was Good luck Jonathan's concept after all!'
Another issue that is still lingering is that of accusations against the people of Benue state on massacre of Igbos on river Benue bridge during the civil war when it was actually the Nigerian army who was at war with them that commited the act..this same people will never mention their own deadly activities against the minority tribes in the south during the war e.g "go-Niger" "gaa Naja" a festival in Kalahari Kingdom to remember one of the atrocities by the Igbo soldiers against them during the war.

Note:I am not an Hausa/fulani or a Yoruba..

So only you woke up this morning with hatred in your mind as a thank you gift to the Creator who gave you another day? Then you decided to spew your hate garnished with lies? So the people that murdered Igbo on their way home at Makurdi when the war had not started are just the Nigerian army? You Tiv people didn't join? Don't worry, the Fulani you love to lie for are already paying you for the seeds you and your fathers sowed.

The truth is most of this tribes re more close to yorubas than igbos!!!

Rubbish country.

Then what do we get as payback?
Backstabbing from West and south.
We want out, Nigeria don't want our wellbeing, they want to tame and suppress our progression.
No matter how hard they try, the sun will surely rise from the EAST

Who is backstabbing you? When people resist your devilish idea, it's no backstabbing, it's an appropriate protest. If you want Biafra, go with your 5 states and stop disturbing people who have no interest in it. Is that too hard?

Basically this was the idea of Dr Alex Ekwueme and it was accepted by General Abacha and then accepted by the National Assembly (which has included it in several acts).

It was accepted by Abacha, but no law or act supports it. The constitution does not recognize anything like South/South or any other Region for that matter

To think that an igbo man was part of the balkanisation of the south.
They've always used one of us so they'll say it was done by one of us.

Igbo hate is the reason for clarification on how the geopolitical zones came about?

MrTemple:
D Igbos ve always meant well for this country.

South South got more voices after that idea.

but they will still be asking what is south south,,,that it's is the idea of north to divide and rule....na them destroy regional government again

"No law or acts recognise it"

Go back and read the first post, I posted links to the acts/laws that recognise it.

Take your time and read slowly. I addressed this issue in that post.

How are they your people when you have no connection, historical or otherwise, with more half of the ethnic groups on that list? Attach by force

Thank God for the division if not, igbos would have stolen then resources of these people and turn dem to slaves in their own land..

Incurable Igbo hate. Only when you die will the hatred you have for Igbo continue living in your children.
