Difrent:
Isn't this what we have been telling you and your likes all this while
That the so called Marginalization of igbos is just political talks, theres no community that's "enjoying"
We are all in this together, the rot was a collective efforts of elites across ethnic lines , so also the Poverty doesn't have ethnic coloration.
And to your Biafra blackmail
It's foolish to be saying you want Biafra yet refuse to take concrete action towards that..... It's nothing but a blackmail tool the igbo elites use in order to make the rest dash them power,
It's not working
It won't work,not in this present Nigeria
If una like change strategy, if una like don't change strategy
100% correct talk. Nairalanders should ask themselves why Igbos, especially those online @Nairaland and @twitter (X) etal have never backed what is shown below that all intelligent and exposed Nigerians know is Biafra, Oduduwa Republic and Arewa Republic etal in all but name.

The answer is simple. As you stated, Biafra is a tool Igbos use to blackmail Nigeria to hand them the keys to Aso Rock, Lagos, Wealthy SS States etal.

Look at how Igbos live as itinerant traders and economic migrants happy never to return to the SE. Is it not incontrovertible proof their Biafra noise is rubbish?

The greatest sustenance of Igbos, because they are the owners of one of the most barren and unproductive regions of Nigeria, is the markets and spending power of other Nigerians outside the SE with the SW being the wealthiest example.


People should ask themselves why Igbos, who would become broke overnight with the declaration of Biafra that would cut of their unrestricted access to markets outside the SE, can be truly sincere about gaining Biafra.

We have not seen them make a conscious and even single effort to diversify the economic sustenance of the SE away from the huge income Igbos derive, as an itinerant trading people, from trade of good outside the SE.


How then does their Biafra noise make sense? Can a disabled man, who needs a carer 24/7, sincerely say he is ready to live without a carer unless (1) he is insincerely blackmailing others to gain a hidden agenda or (2) is ready to commit suicide?

What exactly about the barren reality of the SE, when Igbos make the majority of the income that sustain their folks in ala Igbo in the Markets of the SW, SS and North etal, show they are ready for Biafra as the SW or SS would succeed, in around 10 years, if they became independent nations today?

There is some element of truth in what she said .. but once state police comes to stay , all that will be gone forever
You mean state police that ipob will always lay ambush to kill from time to time? Have you forgotten that 99.999% of Igbo criminalities are home grown by Igbos to igbos

She has spoken the truth and admitted, unlike the thousands online living in denial, the "casual disregard for life" in Ala Igbo today has now gotten the south East to this stage where it is a region Igbos flee, to Lagos and Abuja etal, never to return.

You lot always attacking Yorubas, calling them all manners of ungracious things, why are you silent? Your heroine has spoken .

Are you going to tag her "efulefu" too so you can bask in your infamously irresponsible approach to life whereby you prefer to blame others always for your self-inflcted woes?
I was at a grocery store yesterday when a man was saying he brought his kinsmen to Lagos to have his mom buried, arguing that there’s no way he was going to the East to bury her. I’m not judging

That's exactly what she was thinking but scared to say it out loud and clear. The Gene is out of rhe box, to it back na wahala.
They created the chaos in the SE while thinking they are doing Nigeria, they did themselves.
The letter writer finally spoke the truth for once.
The federal government have tried to curtail the monster, but it's up to the people to condemn their monsters and expose them for prosecution and total extermination, from the southeast to the north...expose the barbaric killers that are hibernating in your state, communities and villages... people supply them food, water, courier service, transportation, collection and processing of their ransom and criminal proceeds...the Okada unions of all wards and communities must be infiltrated by security forces. Police posted to communities must do their work of gathering intelligence. Vigilantes infiltrate Okada unions, Okada riders, trailer drivers, truck drivers, they do facilitation for these bandits.

Who are those then living in the east? Yaribas and Hausas?

Yes, people tend to move to where there is government infrastructural presence and that has helped Lagos and Abuja in the increase of population, the only presence of the federal government of nigeria in the eastern region is just the military presence and that scares people away
Military presence scares people away? 😂

Here we go again. Politicians were responsible for Azikiwe frustrating the inclusion of a secession clause in our constitution many decades ago abi?

Politicians caused the Igbo coup and influenced Ironsi to declare the unification decree ?

It is politicians also responsible for Ojukwu's foolhardy pursuit of a war against Nigeria he knew he could not win and fully understood will come at a devastating cost for Igbos?

Politicians also made a People lose their commonsense, respect for the sanctity of human life and humane decency to queue behind many homicidal hate preachers in the form of Kanu, Ekpa, Mefor, Nworu etal and even illiterate cultist killers and cannibals like Ikonso and "Dragon" etal? Who does that?

Keep talking bro. A man incapable of of accepting the root cause of his own problems is very far from gaining solutions to those problems.

Igboland has changed. Igbo people now prefer to run to Lagos or Abuja because they’re terrified at home. This worries me a lot - Chimamanda Adichie

.

The problem is aligning yourselves with Nnamdi Kanu who is highly divisive. When MKO Abiola in 1994 was in prison he said " Nigerians should enjoy the world cup and not fight for him and die for him. " He said June 12 was his battle alone. Be very worried when people ask you to fight for them. The only fight is the fight for truth because truth is the reality. When people ask for you to fight for them it's simply because they are selfish. Nnamdi Kanu is unworthy to be in the same state let alone the same room with Ojukwu. Ojukwu was real, the other is a megalomaniac pretender. And to prove how fake Nnamdi Kanu is how often does he talk of Ojukwu ? It's like a pastor who will talk of himself and not Jesus. Megalomaniacs are easy to spot..... It's all about them.

The truth you hate to tell yourselves is that your idol, Muhammadu Buhari,injected the insecurity in Igbo land, that's one of his greatest achievements as president of Nigeria
Buhari visited Imo state more than any other state in Nigeria. Each time after his visits, the violence in the southeast multiplied.

Before Buhari as president, Igbo land was the most peaceful part of Nigeria.
grin the usual yam ree nonsense….they never take responsibility for anything but blame everyone else for their self inflicted woes grin I guess it was buhari that created radio biafla and started inciting hate against other ethnic nationalities on radio? It was also buhari that formed a armed militia in the guise of protecting you against Fulani herdmen while ipob miscreant have killed more yeebos than the actual Fulani herdmen grin

You can continue in yourself delusion,shebi buhari is dead and buried now, and he is not the one sitting at home every Monday and also suffering the consequences of your self inflicted woes..Una never ready,continue blaming buhari, make Una no sha carry Una nzobu nzobu pass Niger bridge grin

Unfortunately, that is the sad reality of the SE and Igbos today.

Yet, and from time immemorial, they remain a people prone to making the wrong decision because of primordial hatred of other and a preponderance for letting emotions rule their capacity for pragmatic and logical thinking.

If not, the entire forum should explain to me why a people who say they want a completely autonomous SE region, where Igbos can define their own socio-economic pursuit independently, are fighting to replace Tinubu with Atiku at even the expense of the turn of the South and the ambition of their own in Peter Obi.

Is it not conclusive proof these people are driven by emotions plus overwhelmingly sentimental hatred and resentment towards others when, contrary to their demands of over six decades now, this wish to remove Tinubu, moving at remarkable pace to decentralise power and processes, as Igbos have always claimed to want more than anything else, with Fulani born-to-rule supremacists and hegemonistic imperialists who will surely return Igbos to 'one Nigeria' Egypt they tell the rest of us they resent?

The ridiculous reality about them is that they would still follow another lunatic hate preacher tomorrow, to their own destruction, if a charismatic "Ohamadike" in the mould of Kanu turns up pretending to be their Messiah.

All he would need to do is anchor his messages of 'salvation on the 'urgent' need for Igbos to fight and oppose "Yaribas" and "Abokis" to thrive and dominate.

The way some of you federal government agents and Internet hirelings , over emphasise and over dramatise the induced security challenges in the south-east is overwhelmingly stunning.., I am starting to wonder whether you guys are now the media arm of boko haram. It gives you some sort of weird adrenaline kicks to read news items of this nature. Why? Are you a sa-d-ist? What do you gain seeing people kpaihuh

We had someone like you here few years ago that was going about having epilepsy because of kanu and Ekpa. His modus operandi was to announce a terrorist attack in the south east even before it happened! Who told him in advance? That is sinister. I am of the belief that certain anti Eastern Nigeria agents in the jan-ja-we-ed party called the APC, are the ones recruiting, training, funding and directing the orchestrated mayhem going on in certain parts of the east.

WizardOfNG:
Mentioning Obi is very pertinent because most Nigerians understand he is the personification of the unreal hypocrisy of you lot based on blind love of your own and primordially senseless hatred and disregard you host for other.

Mainly Yorubas that, since the days of Azikowe etal, you feel threatened by because you cannot dominate or better them meritoriously.

Obi is one of the Igbo leaders, 100% certified by his decades-long failings as a political leader in your region, who has gotten the SE where she is today.

When you people then tout such a gross failure as fittest to lead Nigeria, while daily insulting Tinubu as "useless, never mind the fact he is the reformational father of the modern Lagos you are all fleeing to, do you think others will not call out Obi constantly as a show of how warped , prejudiced, clannish and bigotedly hypocritical your support is for such a monumental failure?

Re: Chimamanda Adichie: Igboland Has Changed, People Are Terrified Of Coming Back by MomohMrMoore: 3:56pm On Jul 20, 2025
I have always said it. Igbos are the greatest beneficiary in the Nigeria nation. They cannot exist without Nigeria cities. They are scattered all nooks and corners of Nigerian cities because their work is Buying and Selling. From Sokoto to Lagos, Maiduguri to Ibadan they are there.
Apart from insecurity in Igbo land their work means they are outside. Insecurity and the killings just exacerbated it. Igbos need Nigeria to survive. No Nigeria, no Igbo. Imagine Igbos without Lagos. Igbos will be finished, if there is no Lagos. Igbos will be nothing without Abuja and co. They are supposed to be paying immigrants tax to other cities they run to

Stop acting smart, that's how Buhari was eulogized for 8 years when he left Aso Rock it became clear he didn't perform, even if Tinubu got 8 years after Aso Rock would be same old story. Even the blind and deaf in Nigeria are aware and it is crystal clear Tinubu is clueless on how to salvage the country.
The way you see Tinubu you think both him and Buhari are the same bah? It obvious that u are one of the two categories mentioned. No politicians in the history of Nigeria will be able to lace Tinubu shoes when he's done with his eight years.... you that condemn him now will definitely praise him if you are not clouded by hatred anyway

Very unfortunately and sad reality.

Not long ago I was discussing with a security personnel from the SE, he told with pain how he can't go home, even if he does he doesn't go to his home town, stay briefly in the capital, disguising all thru and then after just few days "run out" of his own state. He prefers family come visit him in Abuja. I really felt for him.
