One thing you fail to understand is that Igbo values life and doesn't discriminate. In igbo language Mmadu means beauty of life we value human life, you may be a slave and as a igboman i will still respect you because you're Mmadu.. 2 million Biafrans lost there lives to the freedom cause which makes our freedom vital. Live and lets live is an Igbo parable.

Igbos can bring Biafra much closer and attainable by doing just one thing seriously: invest heavily and stay put in the east.

But we know igbos can’t do this, so Biafra continues to be a mirage.

I was just enjoying this peaceful thread thinking people from different tribes will proffer solutions on how to move forward either as a country or as different countries but as always, some people decided to bring their frustration to this thread.

Until the youths decide to do the needful, na we and our unborn children go suffer am.

Are we not tired of the hatred?

Are we not tired of the situation of our country? (country is the people living inside it, not some geographical location).

What do we want as a people?

Whites insult us and then we start looking for who's fault it is.

When shall we start thinking of the next invention instead of the next election?

Please lecture if I’m wrong and don’t insult me here , I stand against the term marginalization and oppression of terms by SE Youths

Late VP Alex Ekueme became the VP within few years after the Civil war
Same Alex ekueme was the a major candidate for the seat of President in 1999 but lost to Obasanjo In the primary election ( he didn’t even win the delegates from SE)
Between 1999-2003: The SE produced 3 senate presidents allowing Obasanjo to dribble between them .
In 2003: the intelligent Ohi of Ohi Dr Chuba was Okadigbo was the VP aspirant to Buhari . Did he win in any SE state?
APGA like AD(ACN) was suppose to be South east political identity but wasn’t welcome
Finally in my opinion is that the problem of south east is people like Ekweremadu who know how to play politics at the top and come back to tell his people that Hausa and Yoruba are marginalizing them. People like Nnamdi Kanu who scares Nigerians with his fraudulent ambition

Nigeria is already at war with the igbos or are you waiting for the official announcement?

You couldn't fight the war instead you targeted innocent children and women.... Shame on you guys in the 3 years we produced almost everything we needed including refining crude oil but in 2018 the zoo still exports crude oil only to import petrol....

Overtake is allowed and that's what the Igbos did after the war, with £20 we still overtook you guys. Biafrans are great indeed

Now, let me tell you, if you people pick up arms and ammunition against the Federal republic of Nigeria, the 1967 to 1970 suspended Christmas Party where about three million stubborn Biafran goats were used for pepper soup and suya will be restarted and the casualty will be in tens of millions this time around. If you are not brave enough to confront the government but instead hide under peaceful gathering to foment trouble in any part of the country, the Nigerian Army will be instructed to shoot you all at sight with AK-47, runaway survivors will be reshot with AK-49.

Re: Igbo President (and Why Nigeria Needs It Desperately) by ZZ22: 2:49pm On Sep 09, 2018
Igbos don't even know Yorubas exist, for us they are not worth our time.
As an Igbo man you hardly see any Igbo family discussing about Yorubas. We don't have that time and its not in the spirit of any Nwafor for such discussion BUT that's not the case with most Yorubas especially Yoruba Muslims who see Igbo Giants in their dream.

Most Yorubas have been taught to see Igbos as ritualists, illiterates, underdeveloped and no rich Igbo man made his money honestly BUT when you closely look inward in their region you will see the full definition of hypocrisy and the pure explanation of a person that has trees in his eyes rushing to tell others to remove the specs in their eyes. The things Yorubas accuse igbos of is what they are suffering and like I once said "its better we leave these people to wallow in their delusions of how they are the best in all developmental strides and the thought of war grounded Eastern region of 1970s is still the Eastern region of today despite the federal absense"

Obijulius:
My good friend let me begin by saying thanks for brining this issue forward.

It takes a bold and wise person to stand by the truth even at the risk of offending popular opinion.

While Nigeria hates the Igbos, Nigeria cannot do well without them. The Igbos have exploited the one trait that is common to most Of Nigeria’s over 400 tribes- a lack on ingenuity and industry. In so doing they have upset the natural balance, becoming the prey that the parasite must eat and yet not devour.

No these other tribes are not lazy! The Igbo man just takes hard work to another level. He is the perfect candidate in this survivor series called life- and will, naturally, exploit the perceived failings of his competitors turned spectators.

He has studied nature to the point where he is at peace with his environment (erosion indeed), his family (usually monogamous) and his God - the supreme being who will always settle matters with fairness and not violence.

But, you must agree with me on this, he is yet to find a perfect way of dealing with his imposed teammates in this thing called Nigeria. He is boosterish to a fault, and lacks tact in dealing with his less fortunate fiends.

The 1966 massacres and the Sharia riots are the end results of a frustration and desperation. Worse still the 20 pound post civil war policy was meant to be a checkmate- to enable his aggrieved neighbours catch up.

These desperate measures by a people no less naturally endowed have been met with frustration time after time. As the Igbo continues to rise like the Phoenix from the ashes. And, show off, his reincarnation to his detractors.

Option 1 is a no go: Nigeria may never see an Igbo President, it will be suicidal for these other tribes.

Option 2 is another no go: With their strides in education, business, international affairs, human development, etc the Igbos have unwittingly offended their neighbours. These neighbours will only reconcile when the Igbos stop doing well or better than them.

Option 3 remains the best option. Ironically,how do we expect the parasite to let go of his prey willingly. The rest of Nigeria will do anything in their power (both earthly and heavenly) to retain the largely unappreciated services of the Igbo!

The Igbo nation must return home and make himself as autonomous as the Californians are in America. Igbos must think Igbo first!

According to MLK: A man can’t ride your back unless it’s bent! We did it in 1966-1970.

Let’s do it again now but without the bullet!



This is apt. This is what the Igbos currently need to quickly do. Eku ru' ulo should be our rallying call henceforth.

Very true, and we are not giving up on the idea. IPOB is just a fraction of those agitating for a separate state, Igbos all over the world know and understand that a country that we can rightfully call home is the only solution. We will get there, albeit peacefully.

Peace is conditional.
Peace is mutually accepted conviviality.
Can the igbos make peace with the rest of us, have they genuinely tried to make peace ever? Presently are they making peace

How do you live in peace with somebody that want your relationship with them in pieces. Please tell me, how?
Since we are not in pieces yet, we cant have peace as they want, so there's no peace.

I am a Nigerian and I love other peace loving Nigerians which includes igbos, the biafrans I have no love for as they have no love for me to love them for us.
What has the Igboman done that can be compared to what Fulani herdsmen are doing today? Yet, you cowards cannot show them half of the hate you have displayed here. We Igbos, move to other region to conduct our business in peace, what do we get back in return hate and resentment, and you want us to continue in the same country? Whose ethnic group has been running this country?
What is the result today, we are the top of the most impoverished nation on earth.
Bro, keep your hate to yourself. We are aware of it, and only but a matter of time, Igbos will be free from this shackle of a country.

Here's where true diplomacy should employed. Diplomacy to be tact and pragmatic about your mission. Devoid of threats, malady, malignment and toxic vituperations.
Biafrans are not seeking the needed support for their quest in as all their aspirations to Biafra niched from an established and recognised political contraption called Nigeria is not a parallel decision that can be taken by only the igbos. I bet nobody really wants to be tethered to a toxic partner forever.

Igbos should play the Biafran card politically without tribal or religious bigotry.

Also they should come to terms with the civil war episode as over for their own sake.

God bless Nigeria.
We did that long ago. We are practical minded people, if not, we will not be all over Nigeria doing business.
The Igboman of today is only but reacting to years of injustice. You treated our fathers with contempt and death; and still extending same to us.
The lagoon threat by one of your Oba, against a people, free by constitution, to exercise their electoral right, is just one example, among many.
The truth is like one, poster, rightly stated, you hate us for nothing, and that we have realized. You don't have any reason hating, but you just do.
No matter what the Igboman does, you must find fault.
The solution, still remain a separate sovereign state, which will definitely come according to time.

Spending over 350 days in a year with people they want to severe relationships with is not an action of people that want to go.

Crying and threatening to report Arewa people to the UN when they were asked to leave their region is not action of people that want to go away.

This is a lie and you know it. The whole world will not sit down and allow you kill igbos in their millions.

Besides, why do we have to fight the igbos when we can negotiate with them? Do you think Christians will allow a northern led Nigerian Army to finish the igbos? Igbos are stubborn people and can be annoying but other Nigerians will not support you to kill them in their millions once again. What is so hard in letting them go? And why do you northerners feel you have a monopoly of violence and brutality? You Ok
