TheGoodJoe:
AltarBoy1 raised good questions and going on without facing reality is a remake of Ojukwu's mistakes. You do not get into any battle or business lying to yourself. Sooner or later it catches up.

The Igbos should face it. They need other regions to survive. Think critically before making noise. Nnamdi Kanu should also explain his economic plan for the region in case the Niger Delta want their own region.

Missayuba:


The question should also be: why are the teachers, lecturers, doctors, and laboratory technologists not in their states, why do they come down to the north?

pryme:


Op like I have always pointed out, there are non so blind like the ones that refuse to see.

I have read all the replies from the Igbos, non were able to engage you with meaningful conversation or a roadmap or even {facts} that BIAFRA will succeed.

This goes to show how Kanu is using the inherent psychology of the Ibo man of "dominating" to get their support.

Am from the South South, I don't give a flying fvck about Biafra, my only concern is if they fail we will have to be the ones to bail them out. I don't like the fact that ppl will be dragged into result of their stupidity.

History is about to repeat it's self.

Missayuba:


Is it not obvious that you are one person who has stayed in one part of Nigeria for a very long time and only speak base on stereotype? Check very well the only part of Nigeria you can come to, be accommodated with no ulterior motive is the north. That is why most of the people from the east are in the north. Go to eastern states and see the northerners living there on the streets and you think you have a point against my statement! I DONT THINK SO.

BiafraIShere:
Did you read what you wrote above before posting? If yes, did it not appear daft to you? Fyi, human nature is dynamic, people always tend to move to areas where there is less supply. Most states in the SS/SE already has a high density of qualified teachers, nurses, technocrats etc unlike the North that has a dearth of such people. Have you asked yourself why NYSC members are rarely used as bonafide staff in schools/institutions in the East unlike the North were they constitute a huge percentage of main staff? I served in the North (my secondary assignment was in a popular & respected government school) yet they had no geography teacher for several years & the principal was so happy when I offered to handle the subject for all the senior classes, over 500 students in all! North needs Igbos severely!

First of all, a place where people are butchered at will can not he said to be hospitable. A place where you cannot practice your religion without let or hindrance. When I was in Yobe state, the place they allocated to RCCG that I buses to attend in Gadaka was located in the bush far from human inhabitation. A place where sharia is enforced even in some cases on non Muslims can't be said to be hospitable. I have been to 5 zones out of 6 in Nigeria so Iban speak with authority.

As for the Northerners you said live on the streets in the East, I have a question for you. If somebody decides not to rent a property but to live on the streets, how is that the Igbo man's business? Are Igbo men in the North given free accommodation? No. The pay rent for accommodation or buy land and build their own houses. If the Hausa man cannot do same in the East, that's his headache. He can even live in the gutter, that's his choice.

The number of Igbo killed on the North in crisis that have nothing to do with the Igbos is uncountable and yet you have the gut to say they accommodate the Igbos?

Rich4god:
Restructuring I support, Biafra I don't support as at this moment. We don't have leaders that will be truthful to the development of Biafra.

Missayuba:


You speak with quite a level of intelligence but you stated and I quote "A place where you cannot practice your religion without let or hindrance. When I was in Yobe state, the place they allocated to RCCG that I buses to attend in Gadaka was located in the bush far from human inhabitation. place where you cannot practice your religion without let or hindrance. When I was in Yobe state, the place they allocated to RCCG that I buses to attend in Gadaka was located in the bush far from human inhabitation". For you to have picked only one part of the north to generalize for the other northern states make me see reasons to why you speak as you do.
Secondly, have you observed how many times in the east northerners are refused accommodation in the east because they are "ndi Hausa". Have you ever boarded a bus from the east coming down to the north and see how "ndi Igbo" treat the "ndi Hausa"? I'm sure you are in support of that too. The moment they notice you do not speak polished or refined English or that Hausa accent they begin to treat one as though one suffers from leprocy".
As much as you have stayed in the north, I'm glad you observed that it is not only igbos that are killed in the part of the north where you stayed. Also, it is worthy of note that the several attacks in the north is not only in the north.
I know deep within you you know the north is a place to be and as much as you try to deny it, the "ndi igbos" need the north to survive.
I SPEAK FROM THE NOT SO SENTIMENTAL PART OF MY HEART.
Don't be fooled by the interest of politics in the wealth of SS to think that SE has anything to offer "IPOB". Initially the same "Biafrans claimed the SS was not part of the Biafran Republic, suddenly, they begin to mention the SS as part of them. Look at the celebration of Biafra day last year from the Niger bridge down to anambra was where the celebration was taking place, people living not very far from there I'm Asaba, Delta state capital did not know what was going on except for the heavy hold up.
Be honest with yourselves the IPOB as well as the division of Nigeria is only a desire of the few who have seen room for their benefit and wish to take advantage of it.

I STILL STAND MY GROUND THAT THE SE HAS NOTHING ON THE NORTH WHEN IT COMES TO BEING ACCOMODATING.

sunnyb0b0:


Let me make it simple; between the North and the South East, where is the probability of a stranger being killed higher? Your answer should put the question to rest.

The Igbos do not need the North to survive rather the North needs the Igbos to survive.

AltarBoy1:
How do you intend to employ and feed all the Igbos that will return to SE once Biafra has been actualized? Wch among the 5 states in the east can survive without FG allocation. So, how will the state of Biafra employ and pay these people. Have it occurred to you guys that there are a lot of Igbo in the federal civil service. There are quite a number of Igbos working in other state govt outside the SE. Virtually every higher institution in the north have an Igbo man lecturing or working there, same with hospitals and some other institutions. These does not include the once who are into business.
It’s obvious that if we break, people from other region would not want us to still remain there. So, how do you intend to cater for the Igbo business owners that will return home? Have any of you ever gone to the major markets in the north. From Suleja to Wuse, to Sokoto, Kebbi, Kano, Funtua, Zaria, Kaduna… All these states have a very large population of Igbos doing business there. How do u intend to take care of them or provide alternative means for them?

AltarBoy1:
If you eventually break away with the current Biafran map, then south Sudan will repeat itself in the SE. And the two factions will be Igbos on one side, then the other tribes on the other. The Igbos with their dominance and “developing” nature will dominate everywhere in Biafra, and this won’t go down well with other tribes. We all know what this could result into. Just like the case in Bayelsa. Except you are trying to break away with just the 5 eastern states, which to me is a suicide mission.

AltarBoy1:
Will there even be any change. I think the real enemy to the Igbo race is their leaders. The keep shouting marginalization while their leaders keeps mum and enjoy the wealth of the nation. Why can’t they hold their leaders accountable? I have been to most states in the north, and it’s surprising to see states like Katsina, Jigawa, Dutse, Gombe and co with full functioning international airport mostly used during hajj. These airports where built using state funds. How come SE leaders can’t build such, despite the fact that the Igbos are the ones that travel the most in Nigeria? Even with the little allocation some northern states receive from FG, they have been able to build and develop their states. How come the SE and SS leaders couldn’t do same? Imagine the huge allocation of Bayelsa, despite its small size, there is nothing to write home abt it. Take a look at Delta State, same can be said. Its only Akwa Ibom and Cross River that I can give a pass mark.

AltarBoy1:
Have you asked yourself why there is no much foreign company in SE apart from NB plc? How come multinationals don’t invest in SE. Check out the number of company in SW n NW. What is the SE lacking? How come, most Igbos prefers to invest and build huge houses outside of SE? How come there is a massive emigration of Igbos from the SE than there are immigration from other regions? Someone once said that the number of rich Igbos leaving outside the SE are much more than the number leaving in SE. What is it that is chasing people out of SE?

AltarBoy1:
I have so many things in mind, but let me pause for now. I know that some people will leave the content of my post and start to attack me, calling me afonja. It doesn’t change the fact that am a full blooded Igbo. And I want to believe that those agitating for breakup have not really traveled to other regions to see what the SE is lacking and to see how the Igbos are in every corner of Nigeria.

AltarBoy1:
Just as I noted, u wont respond to my post, but will prefer to call me an afonja.

Missayuba:


Need I remind you of how people get killed and dumped in refuse bins in the SE Or how people get kidnapped and eventually killed or how people get robbed and put in helpless conditions in the SE within a journey of less than 30mins? The insugence in the north is not created by northerners. DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS WELL.

Guy, be truthful... If you mind your business in the north and not trespass on their religion, you are more safe in the north than the East, removing Boko Haram. There are a huge number of foreigners in the Kano state alone doing normal business of buying and selling than there are in the entire south east combined.
Crimes in the East are on the high side when compared to the north, this is a fact that everyone knows.

So Bridget Agbahime, Aikfavour Ukeoma, Eunice Elisha and Obinna Okpokiri trespassed their religion? Please tell me how they did.

Mention just one name, just one of a stranger killed or molested in the SE.

The problem with you lot is that you sit down in the comfort of your homes and make spurious claims with no evidential data to back it up. Which crimes are you talking of in the South East?

The North is home to the 1st and 4th most deadly terror groups in the world for crying out loud. Even mynd1 knows this to be true

are you serious?

Rich4god:
Truth be told, the way Nigeria is now, we cannot grow. Too much lawlessness and insecurity. So am all out for restructuring. When you begin to imagine the way our leaders down south mismanage funds, you will know that Biafra might be worse than Nigeria when it's actualized. And one mistake the the Biafrans will make is ceding with only the five Eastern states.

sunnyb0b0:


Rich4god, I'm still waiting for your response.

Rich4god:

Check my post, am not talking abt been hostile to strangers. Am talking abt the average security of the state. When you out in place, armed robbery, kidnapping and other vices. It's cos of the relative security in the state that's why it's has a large number of foreigners. Even zamfara and Sokoto that tend to be governed by Sharia law still have a large number of non indigene and they leave of well.

I know very well that in the East, no one comes out to start looking for a stranger to kill as the north does in the name of religion, but an average human being is more safe in the north than south, even when you remove Boko Haram and militancy from both region.

Don't divert the issue to number of deaths in regions.
