You think it's only igbos that own properties outside igbos region, you will be amazed to kwn that there are many non- igbos that has properties in Igbo land.
Besides, Nigerians has properties outside Nigeria,better work for your own property than putting eyes in others people's properties.
Attribute of a very lazy Nigerian.

Emmypure:
I am a Yoruba, but truly Igbo is the best tribe in Africa and Nigeria, I admire the Igbo race so much, I wish to marry from there

Ekpeitit:
No other tribe in Nigeria is foolish enough to buy property in Igbo land, only Biafran people are foolish enough to buy properties all over Nigeria,they even own properties in their enemy's territory (North) even though they lost all their properties in the North and
other parts of Nigeria during the civil war.
Biafran people no get sense at all.
Hahahahah

LagosInter:
What becomes of properties owned by Igbos/Biafrans outside Igbo land, should Nigeria disintegrate?

LagosInter:
Did you read the question or you are just daft?

Gbajure:
Keep on dream! Don't you know each cou try has different rule for property ownership by foreigners? Or can u buy a house in US with a visiting visa? Ńo one, I repeat nonond will issue igbos more than a visitor visa to enter Nigeria after Biafra. And that one too will be heavily regulated.

Some are even saying permanent residence and business visa, who go dash una?

Ruggman:
Your major headache is another man's property , don't kill yourself for noting .
The Igbos are not worried about the properties because we are capable of acquiring better and more glorious properties given the right atmosphere and opportunities .
After the Biafran war it took Igbos little time and little resources to recover, while other tribes are still struggling and marvelling at the magnitude of wealth the Igbos posses.
Igbo people are a wonder to the world.
Watch out for them anywhere in the world and you will see their imprint on the sands of time.
CERTAINLY THE GLORY OF THE LATTER HOUSE SHALL BE GREATER THAN THE FORMER.

You are the ignorant one here sir.
I am not concerned with what goes on in Malabu or Zurich. Our focus here is current Nigeria Land ownership laws.
Go through the land use Act 1978.
Go through your constitution.

Yes a foreigner can come here and get property on LEASEHOLD for 25, 50 or 99 years. That is permissible.

You won't know this because you all semi illiterate advocates will rather hurl insults than learn to be strategic.

The simple solution I have advised you people is to build alliances with your neighbors, do some horse trading... That way you secure your businesses, and assess to the sea and trade.

But No! You'll rather insult the Yorubas , and claim lordship over the Niger Delta including Edo/Delta that was never a part of your old East.

As I always say, Come and claim Edo/Delta na, that's when you'll know why the two states are named the Heart beat/Big Heart states.

gidgiddy:
A visitor visa to go to Nigeria is a very small price for one to pay to have their own independent country

However, the issue here are the properties one has legitimately, but is no longer a citizen. Whatever laws that the Lebanese, Indians, Chinese and other foreigners have used to retain control of their properties in Nigeria is what the Biafrans will use to also keep their own

gidgiddy:
While you're talking about Edo/delta, just know that we Igbos do not intend to leave any of us behind. A typical example is the city of Asaba, capital of Delta state. Asaba indigenes are proud Igbos, Asaba is an Igbo city. When we leave, they leaving with us

In4matic:
Your stupidity is legendary. You think granting you a visiting visa is the right of the visitor?
Your host may refuse to grant you a visiting visa and he is well within his rights despite whatever fee he charges you for the Visa

Besides, you don't get to own and hold property before you get a residency permit. Not a visiting visa

gidgiddy:
Bro, no amount of property or residency is worth we Igbos having our own independent country where we are in control of our destiny.

In4matic:
I ask you again? Have you ever bought a plot of land Anywhere? Even if it's 50×50? .

What part of your destiny is not under your control?
Because the last time I checked, the Igbos have enjoyed a free hand to establish their businesses anywhere they deem and succeed.
The Nigerian state made that possible. So I ask again, how is your destiny caged?

gidgiddy:
Only someone with slave mentality will still be talking about 50×50, property and residency when people are talking about their own independent country

NGpatriot:
They must collect visas to go to other countries unless they are lawful residents of the so-called another country. If Nigeria separates and you are not an indigene of Lagos state, you must collect visa to visit your own house.

Also, your house in Lagos state is sitting on a revocable lease that could be terminated.

LagosInter:
Did you read the question or you are just daft?

gidgiddy:
Nothing, there are many houses owned by foreigners in Nigeria. The street I used to live in Apapa, Lagos, all the houses on that street were owned by Lebanese men.

If Igbos get there own country, international and domestic laws will come into effect, and they will be protected.

Infact, owning a house or property in a foreign country is a good thing because it almost assures you of residency rights in that country

Rossiminku:
ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIIT.

DO NOT EXPECT NIGERIA, the same country you have traduced, hated, denigrated, publicly insulted, abused, and rejected, to turn around and grant you ''residency rights'' in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, after you have achieved your secessionist dream.

HOW DARE YOU?

Fact is Igbos would turn persona non grata in Nigeria.

If you think Ghana is giving you a hard time, Nigeria will be 5 times worse. You will be deported en masse to your Dot Republic, and those who remain will be endlessly harassed and extorted by the police.

And targeted by ordinary Nigerians.

I mean, you'll be foreigners. Illegal aliens needing to show your papers the minute you cross that Niger Bridge in Onitsha.

You would have nothing like the rights you hold today in Nigeria.

Dot com people.

gidgiddy:
This all shows you how fake and pointless "one Nigeria" is, and has always been.

In4matic:
Argue with valid facts now!
He has shown you in clear terms the treatment your people should be prepared for.
Do you now see how suicidal your quest is?
But like the proverbial tortoise, too proud to admit that you have been misled by a British naturalized jobless schizophrenic.

flokii:
They will have to put them up for sale at very cheap price for indigenes that can afford else ownership will automatically transfer to the government of that nation from which they were evicted if they fail to dispose them off. As my people would say.. won ma lu ni gbanjo ta ni

Which property jero get sef? na rent dem rent house come jampack the whole place with their relations from village.

The reason Pa Awolowo returned their properties was to reunite and lessen their burden and losses from the war. Alas the people of Niger Delta especially Port Harcourt no send them o, they meted the right punishment by seizing and converting all the properties they left behind. shi shi dem no see till date.

Jomonix:
A positive mind will welcome the industrious spirit that produced those properties so for more development. Separation should not be seen as quarrel but as a way to better the lives of all parts of Nigeria.

LagosInter:

In4matic:
How more industrious can you be than the Chinese? Does that change the fact their still aliens in Nigeria?
So we should allow the Chinese,and Indians unrestricted access into Nigeria because they're "industrious minds"?

Come on, be logical dude.
Can the people of Southern Cameroon Saunter across the border to come and start claiming rights? Afterall, they were formerly in Nigeria?

Modified

The bolded is the key word. Betterment of Nigeria.

Tell me why will NIGERIA pursue the betterment of Biafran people's interest than bettering her citizens?

Jomonix:
But the Chinese are even more remote to Nigeria than the Igbo who is capable of delivering to the same scale as the Chinese if not more. What we are asking Nigerians is for them to be fare to the Igbo even as much as they have been to other non Nigerians including the Chinese. Will you dare to touch a Chinese property in Nigeria?
