EasternWind: Hahahahaahahahahaha, Yorubas played opposition politics for over a decade and did not make noise about secession. Is it now that a party with strong Yoruba base is at the centre that we will call for secession? Stop displaying political naivety. 2 Likes |

maclatunji:If u shameless fellows begin to write the kind of epistles of "wisdom" (which in itself is empty) u wrote daily about Biafra or Igbos to the betterment of ur region, then the region would have been outstanding. But hell NO. All ur fooleries must be directed to us. Now listen, Ogun,Ekiti, Osun & Ondo need this wisdom that's wasting away in u. Who knows, maybe u earn a better living by writing them. Must Yorubas be dumb and unable to monetize the valuables deposited in them by God while live in poverty? A mistake an Igbo man can't make. Be guided 7 Likes |

Let's just cut through to the chase maclatunji: Have they looked at the resources that accrue to them from the federation account and their internally generated revenue (IGR) from their states and found a way to use it to invest in their people and region wisely? Have the north done this? Why is the North East not getting rebuilt with their IGR? Why did the fedral government invest and still invest in secondary education in the North. Where is the nothern IGR? Or is it only the SE that should depend on IGR while the rest feed fat on the fedral handouts? Have they used cultural and commercial ties to build bridges with other tribes in Nigeria to attempt to creation of a synergy that protects their interests? How many cultural and commercial ties have the north built with other regions? What about the south west? How many notherners and south westerners have commercial and cultural interests in other regions? Did their lack of affinity and open disdain of ther regions stop them from usurping power and benefiting unfairly from the federal structure? Which other ethnic group has more commercial and cultural ties across the board than the igbos? Have they made a strategic investment in their human capital and developed leadership potential of their people such that the rest of Nigeria would have no choice than to defer to what would then be their obvious acumen and capacity to lead the entire country to great things? Does the north match the south east in any type of human development indices? Has the north's backwardness in education ever hindered their access to power and privilege in the Nigeria project? What is the leadership development track record of the current northern leader of the union? Do the north have more professors and doctors than the south east? Why then is it that the north has provided many substantial heads of state since 1970, yet the more educated south easteners are yet to provide one? Have they shown enough love within their ranks to develop a united front that amplifies their voice within Nigeria? How united is the north? Does boko haram operate elsewhere? How about southern kaduna? How about the middle belt? When will the voice of the notherners start getting ignored by the Yorubas due to the much more ethnic and religious divisions and strife in the north? Or is it only in the south east that olatunji waits to be apeased with phantom unity which he does not even have in his zone? Does obasanjo agree with tinibu? Does tinibu agree with afenifere? Why is olatunji not focusing on that or writing legnthy epistles to demand for the supression of the yoruba voice due to their disunity? The rest is mumbojumbo... Nigeria is not Rwanda, and the South East is not Tutsi. By the way, it's still too early to hype the post-genocidal-Rwanda as a political success story as opposed to Nigeria. Wait till 50 years. 11 Likes |

maclatunji:Listen, do more about ur region cos the ones already done haven't paid and there's no signs of them paying in nearest future. Ur states are among the most indebted and workers not paid. Work out modalities to dealing with this glaring realities first if u're not driven by hate to always write gibberish about Biafra and Igbo nation in name of unsolicited counsel. A log is in ur eyes friend I'm sure Yorubas aren't the ones that guided Biafrans to bounce back and overtook all Nigerians in virtually all sphere of life.

Of course you are lost at the counter. It's obvious. You are just out to troll the igbos. That's your calling. Unfortunately you guys won't let others to post a comment on the islamic section unless he affirms islam.

Unfortunately the next ten genrations of folks from your region will see their free and progressive contemporaries from Biafra, and spitefully spit on the graves of folks from your present genration for being too selfish, irresponsible and short sighted to set the future generations free from the same national burden that placed limitation on the progress of your fathers. maclatunji: 4 Likes |

KratosCorp: Part of the problem the Southeast has is poorly developed political culture and structure. You cannot compare the political sophistication of the Binis, Hausas and of course Yorubas with the East. For at least 500 years, other parts of Nigeria have had a strong state governing them even before the colonialists, this has sharpened our political skills and strategic reasoning. Igbos have not had this and it reflects how you mismanage yourselves as a people. If you disagree, point to a proper empire Igbos had 1 Like |

We/SW have a whole lot in common with Hausa people culturally, intolerant ibo people from the SE. The pictures above was taken just last month during the Lagos @ 50 cultural celebrations. Hausa and Yoruba people showed up and put on huge cultural display, but ibo people refused to participate and they did not show face. |

That poverty remains endemic, sanitation is poor, basic infrastructure is lacking, and etc etc. Clearly the Japanese, Norwegians, and etc are the real fools that they passed up learning from the masters The way some of you talk one would think there are regions in Nigeria that aren't part and parcel of the third world. 500 years of state governance but still can't master a basic municipal water sytem.

I for one will never stand for secession. we are way too intertwined.. inter tribal marriages.. investments out of SE.. We risk a lot to lose. And pls nobody should tell me the bs about rebuilding from the scratch.. u don't know how painful it was to build outside in the first place when starting life was so difficult in the SE especially imo and abia.. Let's instead agitate strongly for restructuring.. and resource control.. let's also agitate against bad leadership.. For we from abia state carrying biafra for head... We know how the 2 orji useless our state especially the 1st one.. it baffles me we didn't start our agitation from their door steps |

From the epistle reeled out, it is pretty obvious, the writer is among those village unexposed fellow who most definitely haven't left their enclaves. They view everything from the religious angle, his apparent disdain for the succession is born out of the anti-islam tendencies showed by the Igbo and he feels serving them tit-for-tat will justify his convictions. It is more psychological than factual, People should treat the OP as a psychiatric case than anything else. 5 Likes |

Ikology: Look at the map of Nigeria, 5 states is too much for the Southeast already. Another state should be created from Cross River. Equity dictates that the Southeast gets fewer states because of its population and size. The map is there for any reasonable person to see. |

Oildichotomy: Trying to present yourself as enlightened. However, you only succeeded in displaying intellectual deficiency. Not one fact in the article was disproved, you just want to attack the author. It is safe to say that with thinking like yours, Biafra will remain a hoax. However, this hoax could cost millions of lives, that is why people like me are countering the ineffectual thinkers promoting it. 1 Like |

Ikology: Cross River state at 20,156 km2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_River_State is approximately half the size of Igboland at 40,000 km2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igboland You guys make a lot of noise for such a small set. Essentially, Igboland could easily have been made up of just 2 states. Here you are making noise about having 6 states. When will you guys learn? |
