Gerhards:Whatever. To see things from the perspective of others is impossible for most of you. A total waste of time for anyone trying to make Una see sense. |

christistruth01:Go with your 5 states That's to show you people that there is is nothing like 'one Nigeria' Equatorial Guinea is just 2 million people, Gabon is just 2.5 million people, Namibia is just 3 million people, Eritrea is just 3.5 million people These are independent countries in Africa, none of them is even up to the population of my state, Anambra So when you talk about 5 states going, much less than that in Africa were gone long time ago |

Yorubas and Igbos were already at loggerheads before the civil war. I cannot understand why Yorubas will join the North to fight Igbos to return back to Nigeria. If it were Yorubas that exited Nigeria like Igbos did, there's no way Igbos will lift a finger to fight them back to Nigeria. Igbos and Yorubas are not supposed to be in one country Softmirror: |

The Elder said the truth and nothing but the truth.. what majority of the Igbos don't know which I will reveal here today is that most Yorubas you see like this Elder (myself inclusive) that speak this way desire only the best for them, just that we prefer to speak our mind in a blunt manner. The others like Dele Farotimi and those ones in Afenifere are just deceitful people and I can't take them seriously. It is wrong before God and man for an Igbo person to be claiming Lagos as place of origin.. you should be proud of your place of origin. Most Yorubas don't even claim Lagos as State of Origin talk more of non-Yoruba and non-Westerner. That territorial agenda will keep getting you people in troub.le and that is the pure truth. For God sake, think home, go home and develop your ancestral region.. why that advise come off as death sentence to the average Igbo person is what I'm yet to figure out. Lagos is 100% Yorubaland...infact Yoruba territory extends beyond the 6 SW States into North Central (Kwara and Kogi) and some West African countries. Lagos by virtue of it"s positioning is well secured territory for Yorubas and is covered by Yoruba States like cherubs cover God's throne. |

Godfullsam:When Gov. Lateef Jakande called Lagos 'no man's land', did we Yorubas ask for his head on a plate? |

gidgiddy:You don't want to leave, if you do you know what to do, shouting on Nairaland wouldn't give you your Biafra, you know that as well. Vote people that will promise to pursue your Biafran agenda in Abuja, okay. |

aswani:The way things are in the hopeless British colonial contraption called Nigeria, it should have even been you guys that will be insisting for Igbos to go their way without any vote |

Dalohad:Who is asking for your head on a plate? Your are only getting a pry back for calling another tribe's land a no man's land. I don't know when former governor Lateef J called Lagos a no man's land o. Even if he did said so, no one will read any meaning to it because he is a Yoruba man. But when such phrase is coming from a tribe who are notorious for land grabbing, they need to be called to order. |

Godfullsam:Don't mind that guy claiming Yoruba but various posts show a good healthy knowledge of Igbo language as well as Igbo land. Not to talk of liberal use of derogatory words to describe Yoruba people to compliment his hero worship of Peter Obí. If it walks, swims and quacks like a duck, I wonder what it is? Aside from that, it is clear that Baba Kékeré used the term in a different context to the one that he and his Obidients are using it. Interestingly, you don't hear South South people or Northerners call Lagos "A no man's land, interesting that?! |

flokii:Apart from lagos. They is no state in the waste region that can match SE in development. Be it urban , rural, even in Human development index. Lagos was the capital of Nigeria for 7 decades. FG made lagos what she is today adding to the oil money from Niger Delta that was used to build the infrastructure in lagos and the resources and hardwork of all Nigerians living there. Go and develop your brown roof slum region. Allow lagos to rest. Most of you are not from there. You have abandon your 5 SW states and be claiming lagosians. Even those that are not from lagos and also not contributing anything to the development of the state are also claiming lagosians ![]()

Dalohad:Yorùbá's didn't ask because in the true context of what he described, he was right. The way you Obidients mention it, and we know you are not Ndi Yoruba, it is different and of course, very wrong. Why don't Ndi Hausa or Ndi South South call Lagos a "No mans land", why always Obidients from yonder? |

aswani:See him mouth lol 😆 Onyè NautraaaaL hahaha 🤣😂 anytime he wants to attack Igbos he will replace their name with obidients 😏 as if when people from every nook and cranny of Nigeria started screaming 'no mans land' Peter obi had already come out to even try to run for president ![]() |

Ojiofor:He said the absolute truth. You elders and leaders can't be keeping quiet when Biafra agitation is raised by your kinsmen and still want to produce a president. The trust is not there and that is what it is. If you like ve decieving yourself. 2027 you will understand better. How will you igbos shout Biafra in the morning and shout presidency in the afternoon. |

Mrfeel:Which traditional rulers you have in the east that command respect like those ones. In Edo state, my state, Oba of Benin is the permanent head while the vice is usually rotated by some kings and not all other kings. Sultan of Sokoto and oni of ife has no mate and match to others. Go and look pictures taken by traditional rulers with various president and you will understand better. Obi of onitsha can't even lace oba of Benin shoes. |

kedeojo:Ọba gha to kpere, isẹẹ. Obidients must puff their chests anyhow. I myself don't agree with the people they chose, especially the Ooni who is still young and makes worldly mistakes, but it is what it is. |

Mrfeel:Do I blame the Yorubas and Fulanis? No! I blame the Ijaws, Binis, Warris, Efiks, Idomas, Nupes, Kanuris, Hausas, etc that are always too docile and cowardly that they cannot speak out for their right. They will always remain silent and wait for Igbos to take the bullet for them. Tell me what else could have given the Yoruba President the audacity to make Yoruba traditional leader and Fulani spiritual leader the heads of Nigeria's Traditional Leader's Council if not that they know that the rest of other Nigerian tribes are pure lilly livered cowards who will never fight for what is right out of fear, cowardice and whatnot. Honestly Igbos don't need to be in one country with the rest of Nigerians because we hate injustice and our constant demand for justice and fairness has always made us look troublesome simply because other tribes are too docile and cowardly to fight for what is right, it's sad. Igbos just need to leave the Nigerian confused union so that Yorubas and Fulanis can deal decisively with the rest of Nigerians who enjoy being thrown under the bus like log of woods ![]() Igbos are too big and important to be thrown under the bus and not feel the heat, it's not possible na, haba |

kedeojo:Listen, it's not about Igbos having or not having any popular or strong traditional ruler, it's about doing the right thing no matter what. Is it too much to ask for the right thing to be done? It's really shameful and at the same time disappointing to see young people of our time support brazen injustice and polarization being perpetrated by these old people that destroyed every fabric of Nigeria. It baffles me a lot honestly. Even if you think or observe that Igbos don't have a strong traditional ruler to appoint, you can just appoint the head of Southeast Traditional Rulers Council. So whoever occupies that position at any time will be the representative of the Igbos. This is common sense. Even White Colonial masters saw the need to carry all the three major tribes along back then and one knuckle head that thinks himself a god today wakes up and appoint just two traditional leaders as the permanent leaders of Nigeria's Traditional Council that comprises of over 10 tribes at least. Haba haba. At least you can use the 6 geopolitical zones or 9 major tribes' traditional rulers to form the leadership of the traditional council. Or what stops them from making it 36 member traditional leaders council with rotational leadership like it's done at the United Nations instead of having permanent leaders or if you must appoint permanent leaders, you use the template colonial masters used so that u can reference that as your guide by appointing permanent leaders from the 3 major tribes; Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas, while every state will be represented for equity and fairness? Don't you guys have common sense and decorum in your hearts? Must everything be polarized in this age and era that the world is focusing on vital things like tech, economy, science, etc? You all should better stop supporting evil in the name of politics or hatred for others. Do what is right and let everyone see, is that too much to ask for? In the world today, only few countries have strong royal institutions, does that mean that when meeting of heads of states or nations are called upon, those countries that don't have Queens or Kings or President should not be invited or made member? If it's Prime Minister that their culture and nation values and consider as their leader give it to them, they must not be like you or act like you or follow your custom and tradition. Some countries respect kings, some queens, some President, some Prime Minister, some Military Leader, some Chancellor, some use Leader, etc, it doesn't make them less of a nation that you should disrespect. You just have to respect that person or persons they value or call their leader even if he or she is not a royal. |

kedeojo:What you typed here doesn't make sense, all these traditional rulers you mentioned true have power and respect but whatever power and respect they have starts and end with their people which are their subjects, we igbos or other ethnic groups are not under them and has never been under them through out history, why should we accept to have them as our permanent traditional leaders now? Do we practice the same culture? You have no point |
