I'm not in support of violence like you ipob clowns. I can't kill destroy something that I can't make. besides I was only talking about sending them back but if you think the igbos can fight the hausas in their land then you must be extremely *******
Apc clowns are the one that are violent.

You have just said it the way you think. You are not right in your thinking. Let Biafra be given to Igbos and let all tribes go back to their states and you will see that inbuilt potentials of the Igbos. Igbos will never and can never be at lost.
about from trading and illegal businesses what do you do better than other Nigerians?

Then stop talking about Igbo land because you are neither Igbo nor ikwerre. Talk about Yoruba land if you are from the west and leave ikwerre and Igbo to discuss about what affects them.

Is it only the igbos that will lose? what of northerners in the east? no matter how small their investment is, it will affect them too.

the suya seller who takes care of his family with the business, the beru de change marchant, the gate men, shoemakers, the okada riders, the food and perishable food sellers, the mart,rug and carpet sellers, the leather, onion,tomato and all fruit sellers,beans,yam, etc what of the cattle seller kwanu?

igbos can easily mobilize themselves, resettle and bear the temporal discomfort till the recover, can they in the north do that?

secondly, once the igbos in the north leave what happens to commercial activities in the north, what happens to the state IGR, what happens to when we ban dangote cement in the east knowing to well that easterners are his biggest consumers....

see any person that thinks igbos will loose more is plain ignorant...for me i like it, it helps our agitation and would be a lesson to all those silly igbos who carry their investment outside. with this call now, any igbo who thinks of investing outside the east especially in the north will think twice....

again they are not looking at the larger picture. if the igbos leave the north, other southern Nigerians will leave the north because they will not be comfortable in the north without the igbos. hence they may be forced to retaliate too by forcing all northerners in the south west and south south...

Forget the the gra gra and fighting among the southern groups, nobody wants to have anything to do with the north again. They north can never have it easy again.


The day they will start any mass killing in the north is the day God will keep them busy with a diesea like Ebola.That is day they will know that chukwu okike abiama are with is children.

As for me, am not worried. everything is playing for the good

This call by northern youths will trigger a boom in investment in igboland by igbos......at the end we are the winners.
Initially i thought I would read an intellectually sound argument but after the first few lines it became obvious that I was only wasting time over a motor park tout logic - of no substance at all.

Listen, bottom line irrespective of who loses out; northern youths have been pushed to wall; they are fed up and angry, enough is enough the hatred is now mutual; just pack your load and get out, shikenan.

Nigerians as a collective are the most backward group of people on this planet. The country with the largest black population on the planet yet again shows itself as a great embarrassment. With all the educated people in that country, you still allow tribalism to order your thoughts. It is sickening the level of tribalism and closed mindedness exhibited here.

I occasionally visit this site in the hope of finding some glimmer of light, a sign of an evolving mindset, but time and time again disappointed. How can a people with so much potential continue to roll around in the mud of tribalism?
Such small mindedness is the reason why this country will always remain a backward nation.

Someone has been asking for divorce because they are unhappy in a marriage, and the rest of you have been telling them to shut up while at the same time using any excuse to kill and maim them. If you don't like them, why not just let them go?

I bet not all Igbos want Biafra but with all the hatred you guys are spewing, they don't have a choice do they?

The world is focused on fighting racism...that is the thought process that views black people as inferior to other races...what are Nigerians doing?, they are busy being tribalistic.
Has any one of you small minded people considered how you would react if all those your brothers & sisters abroad in the US, Europe, etc, were asked to leave because of the colour of their skin?.

Rather than making snide remarks against the Igbos, perhaps you should engage your brains and ask "do they have a valid point?" Is Nigeria a fair country?, is there equitable distribution of the country's wealth among all the groups or have some groups benefited far more than others, has one group dominated the political landscape & governance to the detriment of others?

All over the world, it is the fundamental right of people to protest if being treated unfairly. What differentiates advanced societies from the backward ones, is that in advanced societies, debates are held, people air their views and there is no fear of retaliation or attack by their fellow country men.

Here's a question that has bugged me for quite awhile in my observations of this country & reading through many of the small minded tribalistic comments that tend to pour out at times like this, if so many other Nigerians do not like the Igbos, why not just save everyone the time and any unnecessary bloodshed and simply sit around a table at aso rock & let Biafra & any other group that wants, exist as either an independent country or a self governing region?

Perhaps adopt the U.K. Model? The UK is made of 4 countries- England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland
Oh, and before the dummies emerge, take note that there are people from the 4 countries living and working with no hassle wherever they want in the U.K., so yes, there are Scottish people working in England and vice versa across all the others.

Those agitating for Biafra are doing so because they feel there is an unfairness in the entity called Nigeria. And for any honest person,not distracted by tribalism, they have a valid case. Look at your history people!

So rather than attacking them, perhaps this is now an excellent opportunity to restructure the entity to give people more control of their destiny.

And also for those saying there's nothing in the East, you reveal that you have very little knowledge of what builds a nation/people. Please take some time and do some reading. Check out the history of Japan and other countries that are far advanced purely driven by the brain power of their people.


Stop being small minded. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery and come up wth constructive solutions to the issue. Just think how much the country's image would improve if it comes up with a brilliant solution that not only acknowledges the grievances of those asking for a divorce but also at the same time addresses the decades of unfairness entrenched in the very fabric of the entity called Nigeria.


If you incite violence against others, violence will one day visit you...c'est fini

"Northern youths have been pushed to the wall"... that has to be the funniest comment ever.

If youths in the North, a region that has gained the most from Nigeria compared to other regions say they have been pushed to the wall, I wonder what the youths in other regions like the Niger Delta are supposed to say given the gross level of mismanagement

The only kind explanation I can come up with for them making such a statement is : tribalism rooted in illiteracy.

Open up your minds, enlarge your coasts, expand your horizons people!

Until there is a mindset shift among the people of this country whether as a single entity or a collection of self governing regions, you will remain just another example of an under achieving people despite your potential to be so much more.

Are you not relying on SS oil to develop your region under the South East Devt Comm?

Or is it the Groundnut money IGR you are generating that will fund it?

Don tell me about Abia and Imo, their total production per day is 27k barrel, which is even a far cry from Ondo's 60k barrel per day.
Y must you always think like the hausa fulani you are... ..if igbos depended on oil would they still Be agitating for restructuring.. .........you think every tribe is like you own that dnt know how to survive without begging the federal government for money angry angry angry angry sad angry angry

Go back to my post and read, this time more slowly; with any luck you may understand to whom the message is directed at.
As already mentioned, irrespective of who loses out; the matter of unity of this this country is now over; everybody should now find the root square to his father's house - Igbos out and anyone who wants to follow them.

hypocrisy! are igbos the owners of the oil? don't you depend on the oil too? what are you without the oil? if the FG should decide to stop allocating oil money to you will you be able to survive it? NO. you will start crying about marginalization. no wonder you are doing everything to drag the ss to your biafra because without the oil you are nothing.
You must be nonentically foolish, is it oil money that was used to set up the uncommon developmental business Empires, structures, landed/basics structures across the entire zoo republic which they're now trying to dubiously confiscate by asking the Igbos to exit and abandon their hard earned properties? We have always been successful in skills and business establishment while you people have always been the lazy gold diggers who always want to rip from where they did not sow, and meanwhile the Oyel in question is found in Biafra land and not in the zoo republic.

Lazy, dirty gold digging animalistic terrorists.
