Just a power game of control to see who has control over their people. They or them.

BeautifulMind2:

They don't want peaceful Southeast because they know that Igbos now preferred to stay back in their region and invest unlike after the civil war large percentage of Igbos migrated out of their region to other zones especially north and west, they are fueling the peaceful region with their actions in politics to make the region chaotic, Igbo land is now prosperous, state like Anambra now there are high migration to the state especially those from west, unlike 10yrs ago, before you hardly see Yoruba man but now they're in thousands, doing different jobs , selling agbo is very common in streets of Anamabra, it will seem as you are in the street of Lagos, not just west even other Nigerians from other regions, so it's hurting their own growth, instead of us to migrate to their place the reverse is the now case, so they want a non peaceful Southeast to force our people out and slow our progress that's their game.

Sit at home is one of the most useless approaches adopted by any group. But again at this point, it now feels like it is being imposed on the people because left for them everyone wants to go about their businesses but those boys won't allow them. The devastation and intimidation is more than outside SE are aware of. Some times they impose one whole week, other times 2 weeks sit at home. Carry guns up and down. I don't know why news agencies are not going to cover their activities, maybe something will be done to eradicate it

casualobserver:


I also wonder how SE leaders will be pleading for NNamdi Kanu’s release a man whose mission is the secession and at the same time complain that it is the turn of the SE to be president or expect others to vote for a Se president. I saw a video over the weekend where a prominent Ibo leader actually said Kanu is the greatest leader to come out of the SE since Zik and Ojukwu and the people of the Se hold him in reverence. Your leader wants to leave Nigeria and you are behind him but you want us to vote for you to rule Nigeria? Somebody please explain to me how this makes sense to the Ibo man.

Let’s not even start on the utterances of Iwuanyawu. I don’t want to start on a Monday with tribal issues but trust me you make no sense to the rest of Nigerians and most of us don’t care anymore because we are exhausted trying to figure out the logic or thought process behind your utterances and actions. To us your actions and utterances are counter productive to your well being.

Trying to engage the SE on issues like Ibo presidency, Biafra, Lagos, sit at home, Kanu etc is futile because it is never a discussion that has any basis is common sense and eventually we just say ok, we hear you because it is exhausting and makes no sense.


You want Ibo presidency but you abuse the voters that can make it happen

You want Ibo presidency but you want biafra
You want development but you leave your zone every day

You want development but you invest outside your zones

You want Kanu to be freed but you attack your own zone with sit at home and UGM.

You want to love peacefully in Lagos and other zones but you attack and insult the hosts

You build illegally but you want to be compensated for building illegally

Just make it make sense! I don’t mean to insult a tribe but it has gotten to a point where no one even bothers when the Ibo man is complaining because your utterances and actions make no sense so now it is like leave them that’s how they behave. Nobody even cares to listen to what you are saying anymore.

Many of us have that family member we love but don’t take seriously anymore but we have to indulge because they are family. The one who when you ask what are you doing, will tell you I am going back to school to do a masters or PhD, yesterday he started nightclub business, before that it was restaurant, before that it was a contractor, before then he wanted to be a musician. Every time it is something new, every time he makes no head no tail. The one who always brings in irrelevant issues at family meetings and drags on and on but you have to call to the meeting because he/she is family and if you don’t he will start moaning. This unfortunately is what the Ibo man has turned himself into. A caricature the family has to indulge. I say this not to abuse or insult but as a call for introspection. Your may see the logic in your actions and utterances but to the rest of us we don’t understand what exactly you want, you don’t make sense, your actions are counter productive to your stated aims and we are tired and have just left you to your devices.

Nigerians are tired of your antics, even recently the Nothern elders forum said let the Ibos go if they want to go. A few weeks later (last week) another prominent Northern figure Prof Jega called for Tinubu to restructure the country before 2027…that tells you even the North are tired! But Interestingly the Ibos have been quiet on that significant pronouncement. When the Ibo man is ready to be serious and articulate what his real issues are and act in a manner that is consistent with his stated objectives, let us know. In the mean time, the rest of us are learning not to take you seriously but to ignore you.

This one sense is still with Simon Ekpa
A state with no or less economy activities will have less business that will pay taxes to FG through the FIRS , e. g if Lagos, Rivers, or Kano state is on economy lock down every Monday the FG will feel the heat because the taxes that will paid by biz to FIRS (FG) will reduce. You need basic economic knowledge

Go back and study your people very well. You may learn one or two things about them. They were the only people who resisted slavery and committed mass suicide killing their adopters. It is called Igbo Landing.

Sometimes I wonder if my people are really as wise and smart as we claim to be. How can you continuously crumble the economy of your home to protest for the release of your son MNK. We've done this for the longest of time and it's not yielding any result because other regions of the country are not feeling it and do not care! Many of our brothers and sisters cannot relate with this useless protest because they prefer Nigeria and not Biafra.

In my opinion:: the best way to go about this is to hold our leaders accountable using force if necessary in our respective states. Chanel all our resources to the East, develope it more and create for ourselves those amenities that the government at the center has failed to deliver on. Rid ourselves of the bad eggs and improve the security of our region.

Simon Ekpa and his boys must be eradicated for peace to reign in Igbo land and with this mindset, other regions will take us seriously and also see the positive nature of our struggle.

Let's stop this NZOGBU NZOGBU attitude that we have, it's not helping us at home and beyond.

I come in peace ✌️

This has always been my issue with the southeast.

How do you cut your nose to spite your face?

You deprive your children of going to school and cripple businesses with sit-at-home.

Even the Kanu they claim to be doing it for has denounced it.

What is the way forward?

Let the elders talk to those boys and ask them to stop the sit at home. Let them state that they are for one Nigeria. And if they want Biafra, let them use legitimate means for it. And for fck sake, how can Simon Ekpa be the one speaking for the southeast? On what basis?

Except people are making money from the sit at home from donations by money-miss-road misfits, it has accomplished nothing except inflict pains on their own people.

YourGFsnatcher:

Lieeeesssssss! Why una dey lie like this? So the people killed and Harrased for doing business on Monday and the threads are from gaza abi? Which kind baby lie be this one. Make una continue to suffer am sha... nothing us. Pls continue doing "voluntary" sit at home Till thy kingdom come, na una go still hear am. At first I was surprised how boko haram could be brainwashed thinking its because they are mostly illiterates...but seeing how the so called literate igbos have been brainwashed by some people who don't when live in the country I what I cannot understand. How can a grown ass man be brainwashed by some people fighting for their interests? Do you think when biafra succeeds you will be invited to the table? Is it not ojukwu that ran like a coward after making your ancestors to go to war n kill over 3 million but could not face the sane fate? So the people that died during the time they don't like life abi? See Simon eba, chilling in Finland, causing your brothers to go and kpai while he's getting more sponsorship and some of you think it's all for you. What a Shame! Why didn't he support Peter obi? Is it not becuse he knows if obi wins his fight will lose credibility and his sponsorship will suffer a set back? Do you people even think? I'm very surprised how once one of the most respected tribe in Africa have reduced themselves to laughing stock because of two non Nigerians and cowards that cannot even stay side by side with thier people for what they believe

Angelfrost:


Yeah right... You will be extending by weeks very soon, when your emperor in Finland gets into the mood.


I wonder the excuse your grandfathers gave for the senseless and pointless civil war Ojukwu led them into.

One day, wise people will arise from the region, and say enough is enough of this Nzogbu Nzogbu!

As Chinua Achebe of blessed memory said in Arrow of the gods:

"...we shouldn't fight a war of blame"!

Gamesmart:

Empty, moronic chest-beating!

If you are an Igbo it is you that will talk to your people. We have done our best to sensitize them but all usulaly goes to thier deaf ears. They at times try to swallow us online. Only God understands their brain chemistry!

If you are not an Igbo ,I share yiur thinking and concern too. The truth is IGBOS don't think like Yorubas. In view of their civil war experiences they are supposed to be wiser now. However as long as their impulsiveness does not extend to the other parts of Nigeria, they can do what they like to one another.
One day their eyes will open to the realities.

BeautifulMind2:

Still dey are least poverty zone in Nigeria

Artscollection:


You wey sabi politics, what is the poverty index in your region? North that has been playing with power and is bad at all index followed by your tribe for sure so it is not about politics, now your godfather is mocking the nation with his sophisticated politics so now ask yourself How politics has helped you.
I blame nnamdi kanu for bringing se region to this stage of mockery.

IGR is the same thing as VAT or Corporate Tax in your illiterate world?

ode what stopped gowon 4rm letting d igbos go after signing d aggrement with ojukwu in aburi

Armaggedon:
GDP figures released show that the states under the so called sit at home are doing better than your own states.
Food price inflation figures show things are relatively cheaper in the so-called sit at home region. It is Infact your region that has proven to be unproductive.

Why don't you get a life?

'how dare any Igbo want to be president when our emilokan god is standing (or should i say barely standing ) for the very same position!.....Don't those 'pesky' Igbo know they're '3rd--class' citizens and shouldn't have any ambitions that may clash with those of the Fulani or Yoruba who are both '1st and 2nd class' citizens respectively!'

Wise man, no head of state signs off or easily allows a part of his nation secede.

If he had done that, then he might as well have totally split other regions.

Ijaya123:


This doesn’t appear like people who resisted slavery.

AbuTwins:


You should blame Ekpa Simon too!

Simon ekpa must be eradicated, but Nnamdi Kanu the progenitor of it all should not.

So why did your 'head of state' give up Bakassi without even a shot and run into the bush with their tail between their legs? Was the Aburi accord about secession or was it about enthroning a system of gov't that worked for all and gave each region a sense of belonging, freedom and a feeling of safety?
