They've already been shown that IPOB sent a letter to GEJ asking him to break the country in 2013.

But for that kropotkin11 is so far in his delusions that tomorrow, he'll still narrate that people want to leave this shit hold because PMB won.. you can't help someone who has a goat brain so leave it
No one is leaving the zoo anytime soon. Scream, cry, insult and even hit your head against a wall all you like, Nigeria will stand. I'm yet to see a single nation on earth brought down by a bunch of miscreants with a rouge radio station

All i get from this article is Lamentations and yet more lamentations from the 5% simply because their candidate lost an election. I bet you the day we elect one of their own president, IPOB will be in the forefront chanting one Nigeria.

I pity this generation of our youth. this article should be a very serious food for thought but alas it's now election issue.most comments never saw the evils of federal character violation exposed.I observed from comments above that the cry of injustice of ibos is the joy of some other ethnicities but I have a consolation that injustice done to one is injustice done to all.I must assure all that the dreams and prayers of one progressive Nigerian chanters are futile when there's no equity and more so sacrificing mediocrity on the alter of meritocracy . little wonder why the years roll by the worst the country become.

Azuka Onwuka i greet you.

This is a very intelligent write up.

Once upon a time, even up to 2 weeks ago, i supported that the Ibo's should not be allowed to leave the Union. But, after thinking deeply of it, i am in support that they should be allowed to go away.

I came to this conclusion after the unaccountable arrests of drug carriers from the Eastern part of Nigeria. If they were known as Biafran's, the rest of us law abiding Nigerians will not be embarrassed,harassed and even sometimes be killed by those mistaking all of us, and erroneously terming all of us criminals in the Diaspora.

Moreover, there is absolutely nothing the East contributes into the coffers of Nigeria. The little developments in the East,was done from the monies gotten from the oil in the South-South.

The East gets more from Nigeria,than it contributes to Nigeria as an entity. They are short changing us, and i support they should leave peacefully.

Once upon a time, Texas said it was tired of the United States and they left to form a Country. By themselves, they begged to come back to the United States after a few Years.

Let them get their own Country, and let us see how far they will go. But you guys should not behave like Texas, and start begging to come back to Nigeria.

yorubas salivating like dogss ever ready to express their opinion on any thing about igbos.

Just two years out of mainstream Nigeria politics and the Igbos are becoming excessively restless in Nigeria and looking for any means to run away from Nigeria.
The Yorubas that played that part of Nigeria opposition politics for the better part of the last fifty years in Nigeria must be super -humans.
I genuinely support your quest though, it's becoming excruciating sharing the same passport and nationality with unwilling citizens like most of you.

Re: Nigeria Must Decide What It Wants From The Igbo by edi287: 9:27am On May 10, 2017
Look, if we were to have a referendum in the east, more Igbos will vote to stay...I have no doubt in my mind. Nigeria isn't perfect - truth be told, it is a shithole. But guess what?? Igbo, hausa and Yoruba have had a role to play in it being the shithole it is likewise the few good things about it. Everyone with have a brain knows Nigeria needs fiscal federalism - the Yorubas agree with this...but instead of working with the Yorubas to achieve this, some stupid idiots go ahead and abuse and insult the people who by the way have been hospital to us...is this how you play politics??

Fact of the matter is alot of Igbos have settled and are extremely successful in THE SAME REGIONS THEY CLAIM TO HATE...how the heck does that make sense?? I swear there's a huge chance that over 80 percent of these fools screaming IPOB have at least one relative that is successful and earning a living in "Afonja land".

One of my uncles used to say that we Igbos can be very undiplomatic at times....I never understood what he meant then till I got a bit older. Nairaland is a perfect example of that. Heck someone called me an Afonja because I'm Igbo and don't agree with these ipob morons...that's how deluded some of these fools are.

What Igbos should be doing is trying to work with Yorubas to push for Fiscal federalism. Stop acting all high and mighty. SE is a joke compared to the West. If anyone should be crying for secession, it's them. Fact!

You see bro, nigeria can never be united. Right from the day this country was created till now. During awolowo time, tribalism was as high as this. It is something that can never end in nigeria. I will not want the future yoruba generation to face all of these wahala. I want them to live with people threy share similarity with. A country where leaders are chosen not with sentiment but competence. I believe it is high time yoruba people push for nigeria separtion. Believe me, we will do far much better that nigeria.

You are ignorant of the fact that Igboland extends into present South-South. I'll take time to update you on the make ups of Both political and cultural Igboland. Just hang on a little. Your government fraudulently gerrymandered Igboland to adjourning states because of oil, with the sole purpose of giving people like you the voice to speak ills of Indi'Igbo. Anyway, the unity of Igboland, whether in the so called S'South and S' East is inevitable. Expect modification to this post:

I dont think so. Igbos had a rebellious streak, they neva really wanted Nigeria. Lets face it. How is IPOB so massive these days? Do u think its just becos of Nnamdi or not having a presidential slot?

Check their history (the igbos) every narrative is about them being stubborn if they dont like a particular bond (Slavery , Colonialism, Now Nigeria)

That's like understating it. They have victim mentality and needs to really be allowed to be on their own.
I think Culturally, they NEED their own space to evolve their own style. Otherwise, you'll always have an eternally disgruntled sets of people who believed that they are superior to all other in this country. If they do well, they'll claim is down to their superior prowess; if they do bad, it'll be down to Nigeria holding them down. Such people are grossly irresponsible and needs to truly measure their prowess.
Maybe they'll get it right like Singapore or be worst off like South Sudan. At least, we NEED to let them try out their unique strengths and weaknesses so that we can truly see if they're blackmailing us or if they are right.

from the available statistics as presented by this OP, i surmise the Igbos are not "politically savvy" in relation to the other major tribes in Nigeria.

besides, this OP makes PMB's personal preferences to mean Nigeria vs Igbo.
Nigeria is not a tribe, if the Igbos have any problem with the hausa, fulani or any tribe at all, they should coin it and address it properly.

Stop trying to be clever by half.
we have not seen you other tribes condemn that "PMB's personal preferences'', just like d Igbos and every rational and well meaning Nigerian condemned d massacre of the Shiites.

You know what I ranked my brain wondering why all the three comments insulting igbo on this thread, you overlooked and descended on my own for exposing yoruba for being the criminals they are.

Then I took a look at the "igbo" man old post to discover that you attack igbo whenever they punch your yoruba tribe upside their head as retaliation for their stupidity while claiming to be "igbo" Equally notice how not one igbo belived you're igbo during that characade just like I don't like believe you're igbo during this your pathetic charade. Don't know why you Afonja are so cowardly. I don't care enough to probe

Finally, I notice you modified your post in other to make yourself look less yoruba after I called you out. Funny thing even you attempt to save face, you still couldn't hide your Afonja line. Igbos are not known for kidnapping aboard just so you know

First of all, your people aren't known for just scamming and 419 alone aboard.

I live aboard. Your people are known for 419, ritualism (yes your people still do that even aboard. I suggest googling UK and the human body parts they found in sewages), sex trafficking and terrorism. That's what you are known for aboard. Oh and some of your leaders are ex-convict wanted for drug trafficking.


While I'm at it, if you guys and the crap you people write on this forum as well as una display of lack of history are the definition of the "intelligent conversation." Then best believe I'm grateful to you for stating I don't fit in. I don't want to fit in, if I wanted I stop reading books and educating myself and have my brain chopped in half in other to reduce myself down to the level of the "intelligent conversation". So thank you for the compliment

Then how come we never saw all this secession hype during the Jonathan presidency? Why is the agitation sounding so loud only now after his defeat at the polls?
Because we were hoping that at least d recommendations of d last national conference as per restructuring will materialise but Buhari as a typical dictator he is declared that over his dead body will it happen.
The same way he openly declared in d presence of d whole world that he will never treat Igbos fairly wt his 5% statement and went on to carry it out.
Among all d arms bearing organisations in Nigeria,not even one is headed by an Igbo man,not even civil defence,even VIO wey de carry sticks,lol.
Be honest,if u were Igbo,would U be comfortable with all those?
Did d agitation for leaving Nigeria start with Buhari?
Have U not been hearing of MASSOB b4?
Was Nnamdi Kanu not a member and even an official of MASSOB b4 h broke out and formed IPOB?
Do U know that Nnamdi Kanu was arrested twice under GEJ but was questioned and released,but dumb,dictatorial Buhari decided to lock him up and make him a hero.
