Igbo's have no king but please explain all these red caps and other regal gear. Every Igbo is a potential Chief !!! The moment he has a chequebook, he wants to be a chief/Doctor Xxx1 of wherever. Some get annoyed if Chief is not added to their name. Where did the eze in Akure get his crown from? His village? And he wants to wear it in Akure!!


I could be wrong but some of them have this imperial trait and if they cannot lead, heavens must fall. For how long can you continue to deny the imperial trait in your DNA

redcap doesn't mean the person is a king, I can also get a redcap with my money. Anybody can get that, Yoruba's are too naive of the sociocultural setting in Nigeria.

Ur neighbor frowns at u. Instead u to stand up to him u think d easiest way is to pack out of the house. That is cowardice and unigbo-like.

If it ends in frowning then one can understand...but unfortunately dead people don't frown.

All the people murdered in the Northern Nigeria over the years unfortunately can't frown back now, can they?
Quotasystem/Federal character and Nigeria constitution design with Igbos in mind don't frown back, do they?

QuotaSystem:
Those groups have always been there as a fallow movement. That was not the question.

The question is how did Ibos desperately wanting GEJ as President of united Nigeria till 2019, transform to wanting a divided Nigeria in 2015? What changed overnight?

If you can't answer the above question, accept your selfish and childish hypocrisy and shut up!

Mr slowpoke, the GEJ till 2019 mantra was the hope IGBOS had for a truly united Nigeria. The conference organised by GEJ to restructure the country was the major assurance IGBOS had, but of course, you and your Fulani masters would want none of it.

Tell me that d Igbos have had the highest casualties in the various conflicts in the North.

Trash. Explain the logic behind desperately wanting Jonathan till 2019 and now suddenly wanting Biafra in 2015?

As usual, u dont know when the issue of biafra started i suggest u go read it up.

Typical Osu reasoning...we can only have a truly united Nigeria if the ibos are in control through a daft and incompetent GEJ and the country is redrawn according to the design of the ibos....

What leaders? Igbos have no leaders. You must be one of those Igbos that were born and raised in Lagos who don't even know how to get to their villages in the east. over 90% of all Igbos eould vote to leave Nigeria this very day if given the chance. You may not support Biafra, but you a minority. Why do you think Radio Biafra is ver popular if Igbos don't want Biafra? You may have to ask your mum about your paternity

Kastonkastroll:
Op stop fooling yourself. Those guys(Ibos) want Biafra just because their "son" Jonathan lost an election. During the campaign era(6months ago), the same ediots shouting Biafra today were the same ediots shouting "Gej till 2019 and after Jonathan is done, he will handle the mantle of leadership to a ibo man". Of course people can deceive themselves all they want, but hey, they can never deceive others.

They were the ones mocking and insulting other Nigerians when their "son" was still sitting on the seat of power, today that the clueless man from otuoke has been booted out, we started hearing a different rhythm from them. lolx

stop fooling urself. Even radio Biafra have been operating during Jonathan's administration even during the election radio Biafra director in the person of nnadi kanu warned Biafrans to desist from voting even for Jonathan cos u need not to involve urself in politics of a zoo

U are d one displaying Ignorance.

U are nt more Igbo than I am. It is no news that Igbos and Yoruba are like cat and dogs. Nobody is trying to make any Yoruba man like him. Infact i dnt need a Yoruba man to like me before i live in Nigeria.

Y are d Yorubas too nt threatening to secede bc Igbos dnt like them.

A true Igbo son will never watch another person from another tribe especially yoruba badmouth his origin and still keep mute even if is biafra matter or not, let alone joining those forces in dehumanizing or castigating his acclaimed origin.

I am a true Igbo son. And I am not joining forces with any Yoruba to castigate my Igbo people. What I am pointing out is that running away to go and form Biafra bc Yorubas and Hausas håve formed an alliance in nt d best way out. Infact it is nt d easier way out.

This Biafra agitation sef dat has been more popular here on nairaland than anywhere else.

inlandtaipan:
I have taken my time to ponder why the agitation for secession is whelming within Igbo's and not with yorubas/hauas and I have come to a conclusion that history has a part to play.

Yoruba's/hausas generally believe in monarchy system of ruling, From time immemorial, we have been hearing of Oyo empire, ijesha kingdom, ife kingdom from Yoruba land and sokoto caliphate, kano emirate etc from Hausa land. These kingdoms are a system where lot of villages submit to a particular ruler and pay homage to him, unlike in Igbo land, nobody wants to be ruled. The only king of a major town in Igbo land is obi of Onitsha and that's because Onitsha people adopt little Benin element and even obi of Onitsha doesn't lord over anybody.
In Yoruba land, you see oba of Lagos, ooni of ife, olu of Ibadan, deji of akure, awujale of ijebu, alake of egba etc, all the major towns in the north have emirs lording over them. You can never hear things like eze of awka, eze of Enugu, obi of nnewi, eze of aba, eze of port Harcourt or eze of umuahia.

What I'm trying to say? It is a habit for yorubas/Hausa to merge with any other body to form a single kingdom (Nigeria in this case). This monarchy system doesn't work in the East. An average yoruba man respects oba than the governor of the state, same as a hasua man will respect emir.
Take ijebu as an example, we have lots and lots of communities coming together to form one kingdom, same as other kingdoms in Yoruba and hasua land.

The coming together of a thing is also evident in the settlement pattern of the our villages, an average igbo settlement is in such a way that people build compounds away from each other, nobody wants to be lorded by anyone. But when you go to the north and west, they build close to each other and appoint a ruler, they are historically submissive.

This is a major factor firing the Biafra agitation and since its a culture in the east, i think no one can stop the agitation, we are different people. We don't do thing same way.

Pointless submission ....the reason is without Igbo...Nigeria is doomed

Have it ever occurred to you how biafra is freely talked on Nairaland.
There are people being sent to unimaginable ban, deletion of posts, sending beautiful threads to ethnicity and tribalistic section bc of biafra here in Nairaland...

Yet Those people were resolute to the core just for biafra to be written freely on Nairaland without punishment...

They sacrificed their time, mb, took all the insults and we're castigated in the name of fighting off anti Biafrans..

So my guy that biafra is finally popular in Nairaland are out of some people's hardwork, sweat and pain.
Let them enjoy their rewards...

I am a nationalist.

The earlier u guys think out of the Eastern region the better.

We Igbos of today have nt experienced 1/10th of what d Igbos of the 1960s experienced and we are clamouring for Secession.

For the records. I was born in the East . I lived my early life in the East and have also lived in Lagos, Abuja, Warri, Benin City and Houston-Texas.

You claim to be a realist, if you are actually one u would realize that the country nigeria has expired evidenced by the fact that each regime usually turns out to be worse than the previous one, take for instance the present buhari regime; u will see that no matter how bad the GEJ regime was this buhari regime is worse than it, just as the GEj's was worse than Obj regime and u can trace it back to independence. This tells u that the idea of a better nigeria is inconceivable and it has nothing to do with who the president is cos no matter who it is the result will be thesame regardless. Presently history as a subject has been taken out of the education system, so tell me what kind of future do u want for your children. A future where they live in a nigeria worse than what u have 2day? A future where they know nothing about their past? Tell me that u can guarantee that they will not curse you for supporting the entity called nigeria, that they will curse you for not doing the right thing to ensure that they had a better life. And your perception that those that clamour for biafra are low lifes is totally false.

U believe Biafra which realistically will b an Igbo enclave will guarantee u a better future?

The world is experiencing a down-turn. It is a global phenomenon.

I dnt think d current calibre of Igbo leaders have what it takes to convert an enclave of over 30million inhabitants to a paradise.

Permit me to say i rather remain where I am and struggle as an individual to better d future if my children than to rely on one government of Biafra.

I work based on what i see on ground and nt what I wish I will get or dream to get. That is realism.

As a yoruba man, I support the Biafra agitations and would love to see it happen.
But then one need to ask... What are those crucial steps taking so far to liberate?

Most of you clamouring for this Biafra are currently residing in most yoruba/house land yet you want Biafra. I would av suggest you all go back home, put things in place, you can then agitate for it, everyone would see the seriousness in you.

My advice: implore your senators and reps to table it befor Nigeria cuz till now av not heard anyone talked about it in the national assembly nor even in the state Assembly.

Again, as a yoruba man I support your need for freedom but pls put in action not just online rants

Dream you say? Martin Luther once had a dream and today it is a reality. I didn't say you should cross ur legs and wait for the govt of biafra to come and better ur life but a look into the future of nigeria u ll see nothing but disaster. Well like you said u rather remain where u re, but the fact that remaining where you re worked 2day doesn't mean it will work 2moro. Nigeria is a union of different groups with absolutely nothing in common and to top it they ve been forced to live together for me in our world 2day that's a recipe for disaster, the country was bound to be a failure right from the onset its not about the world as a whole being in a downturn. And ur mindset is what's killing humanity, "u would rather struggle as an individual". God didn't create u to just exist as individual he created you to make a difference and stand against evil and speak againts it. From ur statement u don't give a hoot about ur closest igbo broda and how he makes it becos u ve made it what then makes u different from the selfish igbo leaders u despise

Take a time to study the three major tribes, hausas and yorubas easily merge with anything they see.

Nobody merges more han Eboes the number one boy boy in Nigeria

Nnamdi Azikiwe merged with the north to form government 3 times in 1960,1965 and 1979 if you are too young ask your elders. Other collaborators with the North who were rewarded with position and money

Nwafor Orizu 1960-66 Senate president

Alex Ekwueme 1979-1983 Vice president

Edwin Ume Ezeoke Speaker House of Representatives

On evry single one of these occasions the Yoruba stood in opposition

Again in 2011 The Eboes shameless merged with the clueless one till 2015 shouting GEJ till 2019 even calling him Azikiwe.

Again the Yoruba stood Gidigba in opposition. CAN EBOE STAND IN OPPOSITION? NEVER

Facts are stubborn.

It is a mater of record that on every single occasion when the North have held power after elections Yoruba have been in opposition while the Eboes are deputy and yet Eboes lie and try and distort facts. Osinbajo is the first Yoruba to be deputy to a Northern President while the Eboes have always been willing and ready made lickspittles.

Eboes are inveterate LIARS but you cannot dryclean the truth
