FreeIgboho:
I am discussing with someone who doesn't understand English. I never said Biafra won the Civil War, I said Biafra was WINNING the war in the beginning, which is a historical fact.
But that aside, you were told to mention ONE thing Igbos have DONE to warrant all you said. You couldn't mention one.

The funny and most amazing thing is that you are from the LEAST AUTONOMOUS tribe in the country. Yorubas wanting to separate may make a bit of sense. But Igbos? How can so many of you be established in other parts of the country yet YOU are the one talking separation? It'll make a bit if sense if Igbos stayed in Igbo land, but no, they're in large numbers all over the country! The whole thing is BIZZARE! It's like if Nigeria and South Africa were one country, Nigerians in South Africa saying they want to separate!

As for everything else you wrote, Nigeria is here to stay despite it's flaws. Like Ojukwu said, it's too late to be talking of separation. Stop wasting your time and energies. Direct them to something more productive
** AND even if by some miracle there were separation it is the Igbos that will be most cheated!
Winning a war that has not ended is different from winning a war that has ended, then for your separation analysis, you don't know the Igbos that's why you talk this way, Igbos will keep going to other regions to make money, that is Igbo for you, so using that as a yardstick for separation is not logical for an Igbo man.

Except the people there become hostile then we might leave, separation is different from repatriation, we don't want to be Nigerians, that is the major point, are Nigerians not living in almost every country of the world, are Yorubas not plenty in UK who are not British citizens?

So why can't Igbos be plenty in Nigeria if they separate and have their own country?

Why must Igbos case be treated differently by you people?

Don't you see there is a problem with you people and your type of ideology?

You are equally free to come settle in Biafra land, we don't just want to share government and citizenship with you people, is that too much to ask for?

Are igbos up to 40 percent of the Nigerian population? You are not in the majority.

Pls tell your elected reps to call for the independence on the floor of the National assembly. Online talk is not the way to do it.
They tried to starve you in 1966? You conveniently left out the fact that Ojukwu started a war that he couldn't finish. You tried to include all of Eastern Nigeria into your Biafra by force but you expect the government yo fold their hands and be looking like moomoo something that Ojukwu and Ironssi didn't do when Boro tried for the same thing. Pls stop.
You are making this statement because you are not among the idps in the middlebelt.
I wonder how many of you think.
God forbid!

Nigeria has several oil-producing states, primarily in the Niger Delta, with Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers, and Bayelsa leading, accounting for nearly 85% [/b]of total output, while other states like [b]Ondo, Lagos, Edo, Imo, Abia, and Anambra also contribute, with recent reports highlighting northern states like [b]Bauchi and Gombe [/b]starting production too. My brother Igbo land are not the only one producing oil or you want to start claiming another mans land as usaul?? . We are here to educate some of you so that you wont be thinking we are fools.
Look at the northerner or westerner claiming eastern oil.
By the time the world goes green, will you still continue with your one nigeria?
You think we dont have people from the niger delta who wants the cowtry to be balkanized.
Many of you think it is only the igbos.
I am from rivers and i live among my igbo brothers and sisters.
Una eyes go clear one day.
You guys should continue your backwardness.

Biafra was winning the war at the beginning- they captured the entire Midwest and appointed a governor for them and were on their way to Lagos.

You keep saying "you don't know Igbos" but can't mention one thing Igbos did!

North and South are not Europe. They're not even South Africa. Any Igbo who dared remain there would be a treated as 10th class citizen, if not mysteriously disappereared!

You think the world does not know about the false flag operations in the eastern part of nigeria.

So Biafra were winning the war right, how were they supposed to completely win the war and end it?

See, you don't know the Igbos, don't just worry yourself about me mentioning anything because if by now you don't know the Igbos after living with them this long then I doubt telling you may help you...

That's why I said you don't know the Igbos...

Britain who kept referring to the Igbos as rebellious during colonial times, you think they just used that word for fun?

They knew what their eyes saw with trying to subdue and control the Igbos

You don't know the Igbos...

They were the only tribe the British called rebellious in Nigeria, go and read many manuscripts of the colonial times in Nigeria...

You don't know the Igbos even after staying so long with them, one of the major reason they are hated by the Islamic north and the Tribal south west...

You don't know the Igbos...

You are indeed not too smart. Even the screenshot you posted is contradictory - they had high rates of suicide and that explained why they were so numerous amongst the enslaved!

You are stuck on some mythical "Igbos" as perceived by one Briton, when ALL you've been told to do is NAME ONE THING IGBOS HAVE DONE in modern times to justify all this chest beating. If you had said "See how they fought to the last man like Spartans", but no, they surrendered and their leader ran away. OR "see how they died to free MNK" but no they killing themselves and sitting at home, and destroying their own homeland! NAME ONE THING!

**Biafra - they could have pushed on to Lagos and captured Lagos and Gowon because Nigerian Army were not yet in war mode - like Castro, Charles Taylor, Syrian rebels, and countless others

No, I have something but you can't see it because you don't want to, on Biafra war, that was what the Igbos did and didn't succeed at the time...

Nope. See the reason below. And by the way, what kind of people appoints a foreigner to be head of their army and lead invasion of his own homeland with all the possible casualties of his own people? Were there no qualified Biafrans at all?
Not very wise people!

The information I posted is exactly the cause if the DELAY that gave time for 1) Nigerian army to mobilize 2) Yoruba to fully join the war 3) Midwesterners to turn against Biafra because of cruelty and maltreatment from occupying Biafran soldiers

I am not here to argue about the Biafran war but just let you know that the Igbos do not tolerate oppression, yes we might be quiet now for certain reasons but does not mean we tolerate oppression, that a lion is not roaring at certain times does not mean it is weak or subdued.

They called it a liberation army and Colonel Banjo agreed to lead it. He chickened out when he encountered resistance in the Midwest and realized people in the west would resist too then he also did not agree with Colonel Ojukwu on some issues leading to the delay. Maybe if he had not agreed to lead the army the Biafrans would not have moved their troops westward

Not the North, Ahmadu Bello agreed With Awo who proposed it, Owelle was the one that vetoed it.

Also Ikemba nabbed Adaka boro who wanted to secede the delta from the Federation. Now Ndigbo are all for secession, see life.

So why do ibos wail the loudest today about secession? Whatever you sow in life you shall reap. I'm sure that low budget elder statesman who wrote the beautiful piece about ibo marginalisation knows these stories but chose to misinform his fellow ibos

You've not answered my question, you are trying to divert away from the discussion, did I ask you to vote any Igbo leader?

I asked you about your Yoruba man Osinbajo, why not answer the question?

abi is Osinbajo now an Igbo man?
I have answered that Osinbajo cannot exclude himself from the Buhari Government and definitely share in the blame. When you are a member of a team, you all share in the victory and disgrace of the team.
