@op. which tribe are you from?
Is it necessary? So you can engage in your usual tribal war and labelling. Am sure you want to know if am Igbo or Yoruba. Am neither both.
Grow up.

@op. You are not being entirely truthful because you did not liten to Buhari's full words. He also added that he has no choice but to evenly distribute government benefits everywhere because of the constitution.

As for Igbos not caring about appointments. Really? So why do they keep crying and wailing and tearing their clothes apart whenever they see a non SE appointment?
cursed fool! Igbos are only asking for equity and fairness, We dont need the appointments to survive but as long as we remain in the cursed contraption called nigeria, we demand fair and just treatment.

But the guy na confirm big boy. Small boy with so much money. I am older than him i guess, looked like a learner in business to him but you cant beat his guts bro. Those guys are blessed. Only arrogance is a turn off.
Igbo secceding from Nigeria will suffer,you guys want to leave Nigeria,because you know how to do business very well right?.leaving Nigeria will only impoverished you guys,when you don't see either an Hausa man or a Yoruba man to buy your goods again,do they think its easy to secced from a section of the country,why not ask south Sudan after seceding.since gej lost the election,hell have been loosed.

Nnamdi Kanu has already given you guys the order to start attacking military men so what are you still doing online??
Lame retort. No one has used even a machete and you're already complaining.

Get over your Colomental programming and smell the coffee. This colonial prison camp wasn't designed for your progress. You have to see beyond your narrow "us" vs "them" ethnic prism and join the fight to design viable African nation states.

Your type is the reason Igbos are insisting they must go. Whats your business with what happens to them if they go. Allow them do the worrying...mind you, everyone in South Sudan is not dead...and Igbos are not Lazy. They may be arrogant and proudly but laziness is far from them...
And why do you tag everyone Igbo when they speak up on matters of Igbo people. Gush...sorry, i choose to look at the good side of every tribe..join me..its a good place to be.

....Your post is kind of touching especially where you talked about your wife and two sons and i quote 'she and my two sons are all i have got..i was like awww..

..but then again if you are a Yoruba person then i think you should say so in the face of anyone asking silly question concerning where you are from and stand your ground.Your post was very reasonable and i see no reason why anyone should be antagonistic to you.

...I am Igbo who is fast losing hope in this country with this new administration regarding the fate of Igbos .Buharis body language is giving some of us neutrals concerning this whole Biafra talk cause for concern...and in a way making Biafra a viable alternative.

Madam Ngozi Okafor, i wonder why you will asune am Yoruba. There are over 300 ethnic groups in this country...There is war going on here between Igbos and Yorubas and i wont be part of it. I'd objectively rather remain unknown. It saves my post ethnic interpretations...i currently hold a title here. Allow me enjoy it.

true talk, i keep telling people that the biafran movement gathers momentum each day it airs on radio, i know a aboki who keeps downplaying the movement but to me that was the ignorance Jonathan alowed on boko and today Boko Haram is fighting a war. so if buhari decides to downplay or use force on biafra, mark it anywhere. the movement is will be a reality. no one needs a soothsayer to know this

Back to the matter, I am so proud to be counted among the 5% discussed above. If I had to do it over again, I will gladly do and encourage others to do same.
As for Biafra and the cause, I have been privileged and consider it a great honor in my lifetime to be in the same room twice with the late Ojukwu. We threw some questions at him on both occasions and several years later I still feel the impact of the wise answers of that great man who had nothing but "love of country" for his people. I'll always consider it a big insult to have anybody compare the arrogant noisemaking-attention-seeking-devilish Nnamdi Kanu with the late Dim Ojukwu. If what Nnamdi Kanu propagates is Biafra I am 100% against it. The militants in the creeks have my approval over what this man propagates.

The issue is why is it difficult to restructure Nigeria and end this skirmishes here and there.

Everybody has something against Nigeria but the North sit ontop the problem while the SW is scared to say something.

The reason why I hate Nigeria is because of northern domination and arrogance, I wouldn't like Biafra to break but Nigeria need to be restructured.

The way am seeing this country Nigeria is very vulnerable now because its divided along many lines, any country that want to finish Nigeria just need to seek for Niger Delta or Biafra to come into Nigeria and wreck serious havoc because the national interest and patriotism are lacking in these two strategic areas of the country.

Nigeria is very weak and delicate now
To make it easier.. All nnamdi kanu needs to do is to get France to get its proxies in kamerun & chad to launch an invasion of the whole eastern border.
Moving quickly and seizing strong points, the Nigerian army would collapse like a pack of cards

''Proudly 5%'' i wondered what was going on till i got to the line where i will buy few items. On asking thr Igbo dude i met in one shop why he was wearing proudly 5%. He said ''we Igbos bow to nobody but God..imagine that Hausa man telling us that we gave him 5%. We never gave him 5%. We gave him nothing but since he decieves himself with Rochas, Ogbona Onu and Ngige that we gave him 5%, so be it. He further said, do i look hungry, do i look like i need minister. That is job for lazy corrupt people. Seat in the office and carry file and sign money. I can't do that. My container arrives every month. I will comfortably feed everyone in Buhari's village''
I am truly loving ABA peeps mindset and behavior recently. I swear I never thought there's ever a SE community I would deemed I love the most but it looks like ABA is slowly moving themselves to my heart jor. They remind me so much of my ppl.. they don't take sh1t from nobody and not scared to voice it out. I love this quote from that trader.

95% 5% by the president is enough for the Biafrans to agitate.

I'm an igbo from abia state and I have never for one day supported these Nnamdi kalu style of Biafra actualization. As much as I want Biafra, I don't want a Biafra built on innocent bloods ( both that of igbos and other tribes). Sometimes I don't blame Nnamdi kalu because our Igbo leaders are soon useless and they don't have the interest of the people at heart.

Actualization of Biafra can be much more easier if our leaders can drop their selfishness and push for it, Nnamdi kalu style will lead to great bloodshed.
no true fight for freedom is achieved by being nice......what ever the method used the goal is freedom.......the end justifies the means.....all nations are birthed with the blood of people....Biafra wont be different wink wink wink wink

ojukwu displayed the same youthful exuberance when he was kanu's age. so forget it. stop glorifying ojukwu, yes he fought for a noble cause, but how he handled it was another thing entirely.
Re: My Experience In Aba While On A Two Day Business Trip by zendy: 8:33am On Aug 04, 2015
A lot of Nigerians like to dance around the truth. Before the advent of the White Man in west Africa, what was the connection between the Igbos and the Yorubas and their Hausa comrades? There was none. Would there have been any connection between Igbos and them had the White Man not come? There would have been none. So on what basis are we a country? Because the White Man came? This not good enough. This forced amalgamation of ethnic groups called Nigeria cannot go on and we pretend everything is ok. Nigeria is not a nation unless the various ethnic groups agree to the union. Anything else is illegal. Nigeria is an illegality. Is amuses me that it is on top of this fraud and illegality that people are chanting the mantra of "One Nigeria" and calling each other 'brothers'. What we Igbos are asking for is the same thing the creators of Nigeria, Britain, gave Scotland last year. The right to stay or go. But if anyone expects or forces the Igbos to accept 'one Nigeria', this will only lead down the road of war as it did before.

The best Quote of the op post

He said ''we Igbos bow to nobody but God..imagine that Hausa man telling us that we gave him 5%. We never gave him 5%. We gave him nothing but since he decieves himself with Rochas, Ogbona Onu and Ngige that we gave him 5%, so be it. He further said, do i look hungry, do i look like i need minister. That is job for lazy corrupt people. Seat in the office and carry file and sign money. I can't do that. My container arrives every month. I will comfortably feed everyone in Buhari's village''
So why hue and cry about marginalization since you bring container in every month and can feed the whole of Nigeria comfortably? don't worry, you will eventually get your Biafra na small small but first of all ask your senators to move a motion in that respect or are they not Biafrans.
If truly Nigeria have more than 100 ethic groups then even 5% is too much for an ethnic group, Agip thief thief people make we hear word jare.

Ojukwu handled things as any sane man of the time would have. This was a man who saw as thousands of his people were being butchered, rendered destitute, chased oppressed all over Nigeria but he still had the temerity to sit down with Gowon in Aburi,Ghana, and hammer out an agreement to avert secession and subsequent war. Yet, Gowon chose disregard the gentlemans agreement he signed. What did people expect Ojukwu to do? To be jumping up and clapping his his hands as his people were being decimated? If any of us had been Ojukwu, we would have done exactly what he did. A person who believes in "One Nigeria" is just someone who has not yet witnessed 40,000 of his kin being slaughtered in broad daylight.

All igbo and Niger Delta votes all together is nothing compared to the northern votes talk less of adding the southwest votes to that. So all these clandestine meeting without being smart enough to embrace others because of ethnic mentality will yield nothing. Politics is a game of calculations and not sentiments. This also reminds me of when Lagoon T shirts were made just to taunt the Oba of Lagos,we all know what happens afterwards (chibuike agbaje ). Same when they were taunting the hausas by printing T shirts after the Sardauna was killed by Nzeogwu, we all know what happened afterwards. Some people don't learn from history.

Oh you want to restructure the country, regionalism was going on fine until your long throats fore fathers felt they can take over the country.
Abi you no know say na your grand fathers abolished regionalism and replaced it with unitary system of government, history can be very brutal you know?.
The more i tried to reason with Biafra school of thought the more i see selfishness, greed, expansionism and that desperate desire to lord yourself over others, if i may ask at the expense of who?, other Nigerians?, you guys are disgusting.
