Maduawuchukwu:
We Igbo people cannot bring ourselves down to Aboki level. The Hausas who encourage violence where are they now economically?

I am not here to argue about levels with any one. You didn't contribute to the topic, only to make such an unguarded statement in your first sentence. (I hope I am talking to an Igbo man/boy though)

Maduawuchukwu:
I am a real Nwafor and I am proud of my tribe but very ashamed of some IPOBIANS. They have nothing upstairs and are behaving like the Nazis of Germany. Everything is insult to them. If Aboki were the ones behaving like this I won't be shocked but these are my Igboe brethren. It is very painful.

why are you calling us ur Brethren??
Ndi Igbo are not ur Brethren.
Face west,that's where ur Brethren is.

Efewestern:
don't want to go off topic, but the issue of biafra would have been nice to some minority if it's been approach diplomatically.

I have my worries and I want the best for my people, same with every urhobo guy you see defending the urhobo nation, we just want the best for our people, now achieving biafra will be impossible without support from other tribe or group, I understand the igbos are been marginalized a lot, same with every minority tribe, we all have somethings in common but the bully alone made me distance myself from any biafra topics.

It's OK, Biafra is not off topic...

I understood Urhobo and Itsekiri disgust... They had expected the Biafrans to consult them before adding them to the struggle. and that's the way it should.
But
Ijaw identified immediately with the struggle, same as Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers, Rivers.... Immediately even Anioma which were not part of the 1967 biafra identified..
and trust me you can't differentiate between this ethnic groups

The issue was that the Urhobo, just like the North don't like the Igbos... even the former military governor of Mid-western came out and slam the Igbos (Not IPOB).

But obviously Biafra is the only steadfast struggle.... even after the quit notice was confirmed, people saw Kanu as a prophet, even after the audio of genocide...
Everyone is now seeing the North as Vile, and disgusting... creating more hate and demonizm against the North.

Like I said IPOB have region marked out they are fighting and deing for, willing to lose 44 million naira worth property for, would not give Nigeria peace for, could even insult the president for, even disgrace their tribesman for ...
Only those kind of struggle pull through....


Out of coincidence the North really want them to go, no matter the consequence...

Efewestern:
it's difficult to comment on this forum because of the kids here, they always insult people who don't subscribe to their view.

now back to the op, you have been misinformed, restructuring will benefit everybody, not that you won't receive assistant from FG, but the present structure is not working, just imagine your state focusing on agriculture with support from the central government? And with restructuring we will be able to grow our economy and depend less on oil. 7

No state in Nigeria is poor, we just have leaders with no vision, if we continue with the status quo no state will want to work, because of over dependence on FG , what we re saying is that let's restructure Nigeria in a way so it benefits everyone, I mean south south, north, east and west.

30%-40% tax goes to the federal, with this nobody will be crying of marginalization, from the tax the Central Government might decide to help state with low income and also execute some federal project.

I believe Nigeria shall be great, let's join hand together and demand for what is right, let's restructure the country.

thanks.

Nothing like South south , South east, southwest or North Central in this case.
The only restructuring acceptable to igbo nation is one done along the ethnic line. If you are urhobo, you are free to merge with isoko, itsekiri, izon , or others if they agree. Igbo are free to merge with other ethnic groups around them if they buy the idea too. Nobody should be forced to belong where he doesn't want bc it will bring another agitation in the future.

Finally, this restructuring must be done with an option for a referendum if any group should seek for that in the future or is dead on arrival.
That's my humble opinion.

urhobo hate igbo?, were did you hear that from? as for the itsekiri I don't think they will ever buy into the biafra idea, it's just like saying anioma should be included In oduduwa republic, I guess it will be an insult to them, same applies to itsekiri, they don't have any thing in common with igbo and so it will be difficult to align with them, they either form Niger Delta republic with us or go with Yoruba, that's the way the average itsekiri man reason. my issue with most of you is that you term those who don't buy into your idea as enemy.

Urhobo on the other hand don't buy into the biafra idea because they don't want what happened in Nigeria to happen there, so it's either we go for restructuring or each tribe chant their own song, not igbo telling them which country to belong, it's somehow an insult to us.

yes sure, if they so wishes, urhobos are comfortable with their present neighbors , what they are seeking for is resource control, that's what all minority wants.

Kazim88:
In essence, Enough of the insult already, enough of the blackmail.


Instead of spewing hate online, fighting the North, as if they are the one that hold their destiny. let's the Biafrans start sensitizing their people about the Referendum.

Let them also lobby their senators and reps to push for referendum also.

because all this insult against the North would most likely create damages and it will not help anyone.

We've heard...
