Ndigbo, the likes of Joe Igbokwe you mean. The problem of south east like I told you, is orchestrated by Nigerian government. The people knows their enemy. Have you seen how people rejoice when they see ESN

You cant be marginalized in a country and still control / major stakeholder in trade and commerce in virtually every state of the country . This man na trouble maker lol. Is it only igbo land that people based in lagos become governors or legislators? Makinde, adeleke, abiodun in the south west are all lagos based , same with other states that are abuja and lagos based too


Shebi Tinubu has appointed many Yorubas but majority of our people are still hungry and dying in rice/giveaway stampedes. So wetin be the gain gan gan?
When we talk about marginalisation, people start this appointment talk and how we control the buying and selling economy.

Now let me just refer you to one tweet from Kelvin to see if you will even understand what we are saying when we shout marginalisation.

As a matter of fact, south east remains the only region in this country that has zero federal project that has been started from start to finish since 1970. Don't mention second Niger bridge as it's a project that links SE with SS region.

There is always an intentional evil plot from NW + SW region of this country to strangulate the Eastern corridor from developing. That's why all seaports in the eastern corridor are practically moribund.

Playing the victim card as has been played since the civil war will not take you anywhere. It will only worsen the situation.

While I agree that Nigeria should have carried out necessary rebuilding of the region, the disposition and utterances of certain leaders from that region have made it impossible.

Jonathan should have done it seamlessly! But the guy fidgeted when he had the power.
Stop seeing them as Nigerian, person from Niger republic is valuable than this evil Biafra residing in Nigeria.

MadamExcellency:
Is this a sponsored thread? Two comments, voom e don reach Frontpage.

After the Civil War, Nigeria owes Southeast the needed reconstruction. Remember, everything that was standing was bombed to oblivion. If there is talk of rebuilding Gaza, then Southeast was leveled beyond recognition far worse than Gaza.

Rebuilding Southeast is not asking too much.
Return the millions of British pounds your invaders cursed army stole from Benin city, the next one Igbo will seize to exist after all that place has been sold in 2010

Everything you posted is "upgrade, rehabilitation, reconstruction,... and so on".

Let me repeat again. There's no federal project that has been initiated, planned, built and completed in the south eastern region by the federal govt of Nigeria except the second Niger bridge connecting SE and SS region.

Even that second Niger bridge was because of how the deal was setup by Ngozi so incoming govt won't abandon it.

Nigeria the evil empire killed 3 million of my people, decimated the wealth of my fathers, destroyed the social fabric of my people and keeps on strangulating us politically and economically by refusing a true fiscal restructuring that will allow a true federal republic.

Instead all power is concentrated in Abuja and one fool from the Sharia infested region can mount power and call us a dot in the circle.

When the time is right, we shall fight this evil once and for all. Not for us but for our children as our generation is done and dusted.

Nonsense

biafra soldiers also killed people of the mid west and current south south. But if they talk their own side you guys will gaslight them. Buried people alive, relocated people from their homelands, mass firing squads. All these una victims mentality no go work

Ojukwu is responsible for the prolonged war he could not win which resulted in starvation of millions. He then ran away like a coward that he is. His letter to victor Banjo also showed he was going to rule lagos and western Nigeria lmao

Typical Nigerian behaviour, starting history from the middle.

Pogroms were committed against my people all over Nigeria even before the war. An Aburi accord was reached to resolve this but Yakubu Gowon reneged on the accord when he came back to Lagos.

This is a state that started killing my people from 1945 even before independence.

Read this link and educate yourself.

The massacre has continued till today. Why I believe Onukwu should have handled that war better, make no mistake it was a genocide orchestrated to wipe the Igbo people out of the surface of the earth. We survived and 20£ was given to my fathers to start their lives again.

victim mentality ingrained in you guys won’t help u. When adaka boro declared ijaw republic una no let am rest. Ironsi and ojukwu spreadheaded the counter on him. But one year later una wan commot same Nigeria and forcefully included the oil rich niger delta lol. Both sides fought for oil rich 9ja delta. No victims here.

The pogroms were a retaliation for the killing of northern leaders and others. But azikwe, eastern region premier , senate president orizu

Lol. I like how you avoided Jos 1945 pogrom
and Kano genocide 1953 killings and picked out the 1966 pogrom and even gave a pathetic justification that the killing was because northern leaders were killed in an attack spearheaded by the military.

Why don't you kill the military guys (Yoruba officers were their too) that killed northern leaders? Why don't you kill South eastern leaders as a retaliation? Why must every rancour in Nigeria political space means "kill the Igbos"?

Did you not see the rubbish they did in Lagos during the past election?

I also like how you avoided the subsequent killings that happened after 1970.

there is no justification for killings. But why is it only your tribe that has issues in south Africa, kenya, Cambodia, Uganda, Thailand, Laos, China, Indonesia, Lagos, and many other places. Maybe its time to look inward dont you think? 🤔 . Una go find trouble con claim victim mentality later.

Despite all the pogroms you listed your people still went back in droves to those places in the north. How many annang or ijaw dey kano for examplehuh Na by force?

Oh, I thought it's one federal republic of Nigeria? So are you saying as a Nigeria I don't have the right to move wherever I want within that territory?

Did I move in and kill anyone to grab their land or assets like the way Fulani (herdsmen) do? It's one Nigeria or it's not bro. There's no in between.

Now to address your other issues; you think it's a joke when I state that 3 million of my people were massacred and only 20£ was given to my fathers to rebuild? The other tribes you mentioned sadly didn't experience the impact of the war like the SE. So moving out was the only way to survive and recover as the Nigeria state burned SE to submission.

I know by now you must have heard about IPOB. How do you think they are being financed? Do you think it's rosy for someone to leave his home town and move into all the places you mentioned in order to survive at all cost?

The people in all those places you mentioned are judiciously donating money to IPOB just to exit the Nigeria federation that has done nothing but impoverish the people.

Well before you come with your "you are not the only one marginalized, you are not the only one imporivish" let me remind you that we hate oppression and poverty in any form or kind. If other ethnic groups tolerate that, that's their business. It's the reason why igwe can't command anybody like Oba or Sultan. There's a saying that even if Arusi ( a powerful deity in my place) misbehaves, we shall show it the tree where he was made.

There's a reason why people like me want Tinubu to remain in power till 2031 and probably hand over to Ganduje Gandollars if Nigeria by miracle survives his regime by then.

The reason is I need Nigeria to go through an irreversible fiscal crisis. Well people might say I am incentive and all that but what other way can this damnable zoological republic crumble? I am confident everyone will suffer in the short term but that's the only feasible pathway to freedom. As a people the civil war taught us how to bear incredible shocks, for the rest of the country, I don't think so. That's why Yorubas are shouting Ebi pawa and the 4.4 million kids are suffering very acute malnutrition in northern Nigeria

IPOB for me is fighting a just cause but the methodology is totally wrong. For me I have chosen a fiscal crisis as the best way to disintegrate that useless country since standing on Aburi accord or carrying out a true fiscal restructuring is a taboo.


According to historical accounts, Eastern Nigeria was considered the fastest growing economy in the world during the mid-1960s, including around 1966, largely due to the strong leadership and economic policies implemented by the region's premier, Dr. Michael Okpara, which focused on agricultural development and infrastructure investment; however, this rapid growth was disrupted by the Nigerian Civil War that began later in the decade.

i no get time read all that. Now you have shown us u are part of IPOB. All the best in your endeavours. Help us great Lamdi Kanu and the prime minister in finland. You can replace them too🥱. When niger delta did their own it touched Nigerias revenue and they granted them amnesty. Your region generates nothing for Nigeria currently so no government will take you guys serious. So continue wailing and crying o because at the end of the day like we have seen with the NSAId expose outsiders control our destiny 😒

Lmao grin I care less. It's a free world. If you like read, if you don't like. Jump and pass

My region generates nothing for Nigeria according to you yet the calls for us to leave the Nigeria federation in peace is tagged treason.

You guys are deceiving yourselves. Malaysia expelled Singapore from its federation because Singapore then was a dead-weight on Malaysia then.

Why can't Nigeria expelled the Igbo nation and let us be? Na by force to do nationalism? Restructure no, reform the country, no... All Nigeria has ever done is mass produce poverty. Tufiakwa

Anyways, I have not joined IPOB yet, by 2030 and that living hellhole is still existing, I will led a jihad!
