If a referendum is carried out, you will be amazed at the result. More than 80% of Igbo will vote to stay in one united Nigeria. Mark my words.

How is the thread hate inciting?

How has intertribal marriage to Ibo women made Yorubamen to love and idolize Ojukwu?

Thank you for saying the Bitter truth
Yorubas will support Igbos lesving with those 5 states INFACT we will protest for you[s][/s]

[b]The thread is a haven for other ethnic groups to call Igbos all sorts of names. You claim to be Igbo and opened this thread to discourage those agitating for Biafra, yet you ignored and even supported mor0ns like omoamukoda in bashing Igbos out of context and purpose.
Now people are all over the thread insulting Igbos generally and you're rejoicing and merrying with them. What type of Igbo are you?
Have you lost your senses? Do you actually know your roots? Are you really Igbo? Even non Nigerians would ask these questions.


You don't see anything inciteful but I'm riled up already.
Take for example, you were asking who Igbos were and what they stood for when the British came to Nigeria. You're Igbo, nevertheless, the Hausa/fulani centralised pre colonial system of administration made more sense to you than the egalitarian Igbos republican system. Even the whites recognised us as people naturally independent, our system was comparable with the ancient Greek democratic system. Is it that you have an inborn slave instinct or you're an Hausa-fulani claiming Igbo?
Even Yorubas insulting Igbos on this thread would also marvel at the level of your Iberiberism if actually you're Igbo.

No matter how strong you're against a decision you will never stoop so low in technically making stupid jest of your brothers. A Yoruba won't cherish our pre colonial system of government over theirs and that leaves me wondering if you're actually sane or just a jumped-up random impostor. [/b]

dinachi:
I feel a deep sense of grief and bewilderment when I read a lot of misguided comments from my Igbo brothers with some calling for a violent secession from Nigeria. Most of the generation of people making these statement never witnessed the civil war. They did not see first hand the horrors of war. They did not experience the terrific impact of bombs or the loud ear splitting sounds of heavy artillery shells as the explode. Should I talk about the economic impact? How our people were reduced to paupers and had to start from the scratch. How beautiful daughters were forcefully torn from the warm embrace of their families and married off to leprous men in the North just to spite our people. Only a mentally deranged and prone to self destruction individual will ever in his life support a violent secession from Nigeria.

Our problem is not secession. Our problem is learning how to live with other tribes in harmony while doing our businesses. Our focus should be on how to build consensus across the nation for vital political interests.

I laugh heartliy when I see some misguided Niger Delta youths like barcanista and co trying to be clever by half by playing to our sense of entitlement. Speaking from both sides of the mouth about how our people are being pushed aside and marginalized.
Yet these are the same people that effectively sabotaged the Biafran struggle under Ojukwu. These are the same people that lead the enemy in through our backyards and betrayed their so called brothers. Now they have started a new song because their brother Jonathan who performed woefully was booted out by majority of Nigerians.

I want us to know sometime that is historical. The moment an attempt is made to secede, the I jaws will immediately turn their backs and negotiate us away to advance their interests. So we will end up alone fighting the whole of Nigeria and loosing again.

When the chips are down, we are always alone.

Another point to consider is that Nigeria has become too intergrated to break up. Almost every family has in laws across their tribe. How will that be handled?

Igbo are the most integrated people in Nigeria with business interests across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Most of our people will become jobless or stay and be killed the moment a secession is declared.

Those who knew the truth will tell you that even inside Biafra there were still serious cases of tribalism and nepotism, even under the revered Ojukwu. That was why ahiara declaration became necessary to tackle these issues.

Finally, we are not ready militarily and would only be engaging in another massive waste of life if we insist on our ways.
So my people do not be deceived! Our best and only bet is to remain as law abiding citizens of Nigeria while doing our best to continue to be relevant in the scheme of things.

As far as I know, dey created this politics that is based more on sentiments and regionalism and created the events that led to the war

pazienza:


Have you ever asked yourself why the call for free Biafra is equated to call for Igbo genocide by Arewa-Odua gang up?

Are you saying that Ndiigbo doesn't have the divine right to choose who they want to co exist in the same country with?

How come you don't see wrong in those that promise to visit an innocent group with Genocide, if they attempt to demand for freedom, but you see wrong in an innocent group demand for freedom?

Do you have reasoning capacity at all?

d enemy of d ibos are not d yorubas or s hausas. We have a common enemy which is corruption and every ethnic group and region is suffering it.
How many Igbos can comfortably go their hometown and make a decent living, it's not all about low allocation, even d one given to the leaders are squandered.
U are free to continue with ur line of thinking, but rest assured, u are in d minority and many of dose towing ur line of tot are either jobless or destitute people who would rather believe that it's a yoruba or hausa man dat is causing his failure rather than a failure in leadership which is affecting all nigerians.
u won't find any successful Igbo man with ur kind of tot because d most successful Igbo men thrive on
nigerias diversity to run their business.
As for foolish oba dat decided to stir up ethnic sentiments, there will always d such, it is however good to know dat he was roundly condemned by all politician

Normality:
Glad everyone is talking war, we aren't mincing words with zoo baboons again.

Why IPOB is preparing for the war, purchasing all that will be needed and seeking the face of Chukwu Abiama, funding ogbunigwe factories, buying and stocking weapons, talking to governments and groups that matter, preparing and sensitizing people, people like me are volunteering for the army, I am receiving training, IPOB is planning everything in order not to fail.
People are shouting declare war nau.

I am actually looking at zoo boys scouts without foreign troops being in battle field. I actually see us whooping some arsses.
No wonder people are scared.

1000years? Fight still dey, and it must reach every other corner of Nigeria, Somali in waiting? Yes perhaps, we will nuke this entity? Yes.

"Let us go and crush them. We will

womenfolk, kill off their menfolk and
leave
them uselessly weeping. We will complete
the pogrom of 1966" (The theme song of
Radio Kaduna, government-controlled,

This was the agenda of their fore runners, and yet they the current breed still harbour and threaten to unleash the same horror. They show no remorse, neither do they show Love.

They hid behind Nzeogwu coup to unleash their venom and hatred. Now what else are they going to hide behind to justify their present blood thirst?

LAGrejectIBO:


No one is talking about you!

Ibo is reaching for Biafra because it serves as escape route, and an easy way out of the hot political rivalry. Nigeria is always and will forever remain in political turmoil. Whether in military or democracy rule, ethnicity is the engine of our co-habitation. The ethnic base is the political base and is local. A Yorubaman will not go to Port Harcourt or Abuja or Kano or Maiduguri to create a political base from which to compete with his rivals. After erecting a solid political base at home, the Yoruba then goes to PHarcourt, Enugu, Yola, Sokoto, Makurdi, looking for augmentation and recognition for what he has built. Ibo on the other hand wants to go and erect his political base in Lagos, Kano, Abuja, Sokoto, Potiskum....and when no one pays him attention then he wants to exist by himself and have nothing to do with others, he wants to run into his hideout - Biafra ᤾!

Intertribal marriage is irrelevant to the topic!

Bifwoli:
Igboland should still aim to secede regardless.Nothing good comes easily and if it means war then so be it coz right now Igbo folks are getting a raw deal with their resources being misused by the rest of a godamned country of leeches.

dinachi:

The truth hurts but it is the truth nevertheless. Why did the British apply the indirect rule in the north? Can you truthfully answer that question?
We are no doubt great businessman and engineers but we need to learn a thing or two from our other neighbors.
I hate seeing our people setting themselves up for another humiliating defeat that will set us back
again. We have suffered enough.

I am not jobless neither am i a destitute, but any jobless man or destitute that is wise enough to recognize that Republic of Igboland is a must, is more enlightened than the foolish rich man that doesn't know his history, but clings unto illusions of wealth.
Ojukwu father had more investments in the North and SW, yet none of that stopped Ojukwu from leading the battle for Biafra independence, for he knew that none of all those wealth combined can be equal to freedom.
Just because you decided to live in the North or Lagos, does not mean that those of us in the SE are not doing ok. Igboland is the most advanced part of Nigeria, as par human resources and development. https://www.nairaland.com/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-attainment
We can do more in an independent republic, free of negative energies of other Nigerian groups. We will deal with our corrupt leaders the Igbo way, free of Abuja influence.

Corruption never stopped any nation from developing. China and US are corrupt nations too, no nation is truly free of corruption.

What stops a nation from developing is when the people that inhabits the nation have no clear cut and defined ideology, no objectives, no unity and no connection to each other, as a result of lack of shared history, ancestry, culture or language.
