Are you not aware that in 1979, Igbo has only two states, Anambra and Imo whereas Yoruba has four states. Today Igbo has five states and Yorubas has six states. Are you not aware that Igbo has six senators in 1979 whereas Yoruba has twelve senators. Today they have fifteen senators whereas we have eighteen senators. Calculate the percentage increase. Let us ask, who has been marginalized? They will come to us that those Hausas are bad they are not educated, they are Muslims, they want to Islamise Nigeria, they are this and that yet they will go behind to form an alliance with them. Strategically they have been reducing our economic potential because they have been able to increase their slots in geometric progression and ours is in arithmetic progression. More slots in Federal appointments whereas ours have continued to reduce. Are you aware that the Land mass that make up the five Eastern states is not up to Oyo state yet they have been able to create five states out of it. The first group of people that started trading in spare parts are Yoruba particularly our people from Ijebu-Ode but they have been muscled out of the business. The idea of Geo-political Zone was mouthed by Ojukwu to favour the Igbo. Now through Jonathan conference they said they are being marginalized because they are the only Geo-political zone with five states. Can you imagine that? From two states. That is what I called strategic thinking. Unfortunately, Yorubas that went to that conference agreed with them foolishly particularly afenifere in the likes of Yinka Odumakin. What a tragedy. Let's ask them, what did Yorubas that attended the conference brought home? The answer is nothing. The issue of Biafra being championed by Kanu is not by accident, it is a grand design to negotiate for more. Now it is coming out, South East Development commission. Why don't we ask, to be funded by who? If it is agreed they will continue to reduce our economic potential in the Nigerian state. But, come to think of it why don't you let Biafra be. They are adding no value to us and I can bet you that nobody will miss them. Remember that they fired the first shot that started Nigerian civil war. Killing Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello and some notable Yorubas. Of recent, Chinue Achebe wrote a book "There was a Country". Accusing Awolowo of committing Progrom. What a tragic write up. The question to ask is who started the war? Can I continue to feed my enemy to have more strength to battle me. Igbo would never change. Domination is in their blood and they can only be satisfied if they have what belongs to you and you have not. Yoruba E Ronu yin o

A nice research and write up by an Afonja, but do u also know that Algeria alone is almost bigger than all West African countries ?, are u also aware that ur Oyo state is bigger than 14 African countries in land Mass?, if really Yorubas are marginalized as u claim, then it's all up to u to voice out, and when u sat de Igbos are greed and never satisfied until they have all U've got while u have nothing, well, I don't think if de Igbos has ever asked for ur Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti or Kwara...don't get it twisted, igbos are highly potential people, and they don't pretend about it...comparing ur self to de Igbo man is just like comparing a donkey to a horse...

Igbos get what they want because they make a move towards what they want.They never made the Yorubas cowards neither did they make them slaves to the Hausas. |

"Are you aware that the Land mass that make up the five Eastern states is not up to Oyo state yet they have been able to create five states out of it." ![]() So the region is that small..... No wonder they flee the region once they re teenagers! I see over crowding in that region when Biafra is declared. And they be chest-beating like they own Africa. Small land locked erosion ridden region Smh..... Empty barrels truly make the loudest noise |

conductor2: ![]() Keep chest-beating! By the time we return you to your land locked erosion ridden region, you will start going to the stream to fetch water again! See your lot that got exposed through our civilisation. You would have been hawking Ukpa if u didn't come to Lagos! The master you re really shows in your region littered with glorified towns called cities. No wonder your lots flee the region when they become teenagers to at least hawk Gala and Soda on our roads Better give honour to whom it's due as no one has gone far hating his masters. 5 decades of chest-beating has not built one sky-scrapper in the East and you here chest-beating about your irrelevance in Nigerians political atmosphere. Observe inwardly and tell me if the east is not on reverse development. |

While Igbos are enjoying their sleep, some people in a particular geo political zone are awake in the middle of the night thinking about Igbos. No wonder they always see Igbo giant in the dream. Lwkmd! |

0b100100111:It's too early to argue with a daft Yoruba moozlem who can't sight the moon in S. Waste before a Fulani Emir in Sokoto. All I'm trying to say is that you guys, our conquered slaves, should give us credit for all the copy copy work you're doing and stop echoing restructuring only whenever Igbos are discussing Biafra. Man up for once and stop begging for unity and copying everything your Igbo superiors do. Start by demanding for the release of your Oba otherwise he'll end up like another Awolowlo and Abiola ![]()

Useless tribalistic thread..... the fight should be to the govt not within... If my yoruba daughter marries an igbo man, my grand children are outrightly igbos whom their uncles are castigating, in eventuality my grand-daughter finds love in a fulani man, my great grand children are hausa fulani.. whom my her uncles are fighting tooth and nail.. Do you really know where your children might end up? Never pray to look back to find out you have fought and bore hate all through life rather than enjoyed it.. if any case, you would leave it someday like you came into it.. |

conductor2:You see how you exposed yourself? Do I need to be told u re a product of "Miracle center"? Smh..... revisit your Geaography! You were talking about begging for unity . Your lots feel important and reverse is the case. What do you have to offer that makes one jealous? Its ridicule and embarrassing to believe a versatile region like the West will beg your lots for unity. It's painful and traumatic to have such idea.What do you have that makes one to beg? Small stalls littered all around where u locally trade in food-stuff, electronics, spare-parts, hawking and other menial jobs? Or your population that floods into the West on hourly basis? What's the jealousy about please? Earlier u realize that no one is begging biafra to stay. U have been issued a notice in the North, if same is done in the West, you will begin your victim cry. Still thinking of who is begging for your unity? An industrial hub, Center of commerce, Potential agricultural hub with massive fertile and arable land, A tourist destination and home of hospitality is the West! Like you not aware that the whole Eastern state is not as big as Oyo state! |

0b100100111:Since you actually believe that It means you can believe anything My advice to you guys will always be to move around... Don't open a nairaland account and reside in an oshogbo cave all your life.. Move around... See things .. Know things It makes you know stuff and won't appear stupid when you comment on a forum like this |

0b100100111:Contradictions on Contradictions and incoherent writeup from a Sudanese migrant. If all you said above are true, then Why are you begging us for unity with our "5 landlocked states that are not bigger than Oyo"? Daft unity begging parasite ![]()

conductor2: ![]() Your lots re always trying to feel important when no one accords you with an iota of importance or regard! Too much of chest-beating! You earn relevance, you don't assign it to yourself as your lots do. No one is begging your lots! Make the right move an get the biafra your rich, enlightened and educated ones don't want. I did an indepth research and noticed the biafra ish as to do with poverty! |

Are you not aware that Igbo has six senators in 1979 whereas Yoruba has twelve senators. Today they have fifteen senators whereas we have eighteen senators. Calculate the percentage increase. Let us ask, who has been marginalized? This is exactly my point. Why exactly should Yorubas be granted 4 states to start with and Igbos only two? This is Yorubas grabbing lionshare as usual to the detriment of Ndiigbo. Adjustment of that anomaly by upgrading Igbo only state to 5 by subsequent administrations while upgrading those of Yoruba only states to 6, is now what Yorubas term as marginalization, when in truth, they should be glad for having the lionshare of the Southern states for decades, to the detriment of the Igbo, while the Igbo should be the ones rightly to feel marginalised. Yorubas are so used to having the lionshare of the entitlements of Southern Nigeria to the detriment of Ndiigbo that any move to balance /even things out for everyone is tagged Yoruba marginalization by them, this is exactly the evil Stella odua had to deal with in the aviation industry. |
