We believe in live and let live, simple.

The Igboman was born in a competitive position, just like Sir Alex quipped about a certain pesky forward.

The Yorubas were ahead of the Igbos at one point in history...Igboman attitude?

No beef, no acrimony, no jealousy because only losers waste their time getting dragged into the cesspool of petty envy...

We went to work and today the result is writ large..

Have a happy Sunday as well...

afube:
what percentage of your Nigeria's total remittance is from ndigbo.................?

Benevento:
Yorubas have always been ahead of you guys and nothing will stop that.

It's an insult to even compare the great Yorubas with refuges like Igbos.

Rather compare Yorubas with the Zulus of South Africa.

In Education, IT, Trade and investment, standard of living, anything just name it.

maestroferddi:
Even the Zulus will dobaale for the Igbos if we are sharing the same national space.

The Igboman is a tough act to follow. His entrepreneurial skills should be studied as a course in Nigeria universities.

We measure against the Germans, the Chinese and the Japanese...

Xerxes2088:
You are forgetting something...how do you dredge a river through the middle of the "south south" country into the ocean?.....except they allow that

Redcrafton:
Lame!

May be you are new in the country...but everyone knows the Yorubas are averse to Nigeria splitting because they gain more than everyone other tribe.

So when Nigeria wanted independence were't your people going to London daily?

So because Kanu mention Osibanjo in his speech, you should attack his organisation?

When OPC was working to be separated from Nigeria...did the Igbos mock you?

This thread is not retired because they believe you have an edge to be a country of your own even when the forum is against separation...But other threads showing your region gains more than other regions...it is retired. What did this tell you?

Misterdhee1:
You are suffering from self inflicted delusion. An average yoruba takes responsibility and does not blame his inadequacies on the North. We expend our energy on pressurizing our State governments to deliver not on mirages. That's why neither apc nor pdp can lay total claim over the politics of the region. But you igbos, despite gaining so much individually from Nigeria always see everyone except your leaders as your problem. You guys never bother to see the stick in your eyes but tend to focus on the flies hovering around other people's eyes. Shouting biafra upandan is just a comfortable way to hide una worldly acclaimed low self esteem. It's pretty sure you guys will still blame Nigeria once you finally get your dream biafra.

strykr:
Which Igbos don't blame their leaders? The same Igbos that beat their leaders without fear, or the ones that frustrating rougue charlatans like Rochas and Ikpeazu. Please go and look for something else to talk not this one. I understand the Igbo point of view on how the Nigerian system frustrates accountability. You think you're wise, but you know nothing. Tribalism and etnnocentrism have blinded the eyes of most southwesterners.
I don't also understand you guys fixation with the Igbos desire for Biafra. If they say they want to leave, why is it causing so much pain to you guys. The Igbophobia and hate on this topic is too toxic. Simple question Op asked, everyone just wants to prove how Igbos would suffer. Igbo people, una dey try o.

Benevento:
The Zulus are the majority in South Africa and South Africa is arguably the most developed country in Africa.

How will the great Zulus dobale for the people from the potopoto republic, people that cannot stay in the region.

Everyone want to leave igboland because it's a curse region alien to infrastructural development.

The population of Igbos outside igboland is more than those inside, what a tribe.

You're really a fool, a very big one.

Misterdhee1:
Migration is a human thing. There are equally more yorubas in UK than Igbos and probably as many igbos as yoruba in USA. Migration is based on individual preferences. There are still millions of igbos at home, isn't that the case? Kill trade, and watch the larger part of igbos struggle for breath.

Igbos are able to achieve so much in Lagos because the governing policies and the location provide an enabling environment for any willing trader. And theres representation across Nigeria in the state because of this, it's not solely an igbo thing. Smart northerners are making it, same as smart individuals from other regions. Do you think Lagos would have such level of tolerance for non-local investors if it was based in the EAST? Best of luck answering that question when you guys get your biafra.

The question is how come there's so much thirst for foreign lands (with arguably lesser potentials compared to what's obtainable in the east according to comments on this thread) when you guys could easily develop your individual states by tapping into the "massive potentials" that have been highlighted so far in the thread? Is the FG to blame for that? In simple terms, you guys are accusing Nigeria as the reason why you guys prefer the potentials in Kano and Lagos to the potentials in Owerri and Aba. Is that not insanity?

The only difference between you guys and fulanis is just the level of education and exposure. An average igbo man is as intolerant, unaccommodating to his host and domineering as a Fulani man. If given the free will, you guys will prefer to rule over every community you find yourselves while your states remain inhabitable with conditions as bad as IDP camps. No wonder NK is able to attract so many hapless youths from your villages.

maestroferddi:
You and the loser insult again....

I will keep educating you. Which Zulu makes noise about the advancement seen in South Africa when it is universally known that South Africa is controlled economically by the whites?

The same people your deluded mind is hyping are being disparaged in their country for bringing little to the table apart the feats recorded in the war with the Boers.

You think the Igbos would not have given the whites a run for their money if we are in the same country?

Stop allowing frustration spoil your day...

Benevento:
Baba say they will give the white a run for their money if they were to be in the same country.

Oloriburuku.

maestroferddi:
You are an ignoramus.

Japan derisively labeled yellow monkeys defeated the humongous Russian Empire in 1905.

The Asian Tigers are not peopled by whites.

Yes the Igbos can challenge the whites.

We did iit during the Civil War and we are, to some extent, doing it today at Aba and Nnewi...

Misterdhee1:
No one blames the hausa-fulani for their inadequacies like you guys. Despite years of misrule, you guys will rather die supporting pdp than change parties. You don't hate Ikpeazu, he won convincingly just a year back. Okorocha was hated majorly because he dared igbos' love for conservatism.

Btw, yorubas don't have any issue with clamour for biafra. We just hate the hate-filled tactics you guys used and the irrational love for blaming others for una problems.

maestroferddi:
You are seeking a co-opt out...

Lebanon is small country in the Levant. Her citizens just like the enterprising Igbos have left a footprint in the sands of time.

The parents/forebears of both Steve Jobs and Slim Carlos Helu were Lebanese. They left Lebanon to emigrate to the US and Mexico respectively.

Nobody advances the lazy argument of their origin to question the fact that they became world changers....

Dey there dey form omo nile while the Igbos convert you to a gateman in your own house...

If you are smart, you should.be praying that the Igbos should not reparate their capital solely back to Igboland.

OreMI22:
Oga,

Nigeria receives about $40 billion dollars annually from remittances. - FACT!
Nigeria receives about $30 billion dollars annually from Oil revenue included in the annual budget - FACT!

Igbos contribute more than 85% of remittances to Nigeria. - FACT!
Igboland contributes about 15% of oil wells in Nigeria - FACT!

That is why your Federal Minister of Finance justified the non-inclusion of the Igbo people in federal government palliatives saying their people abroad already take care of them via remittances - FACT!

Nnaa , I understand Igbo people are very hardworking and industrious but some of you boast too much and there is no need for that.

Gracchus:
God bless you for this bro. I don't understand why they have to involve us in their Biafra, like do we even know them? Do we have anything to do with them? Our land does not share borders with their Biafra, so their is no prospect for border conflicts, so why involve us ☺ Why rant Osinbajo in ur Biafra speech, Osinbajo's land has nothing in common in with your land, it's 500 kilometers away from ur land. They should fight for their Biafra with mentioning the word Yoruba or Southwest, period!!

[s]As if you didn't know?
All abokkis in this country know that Igbos are the principal backbone powering the remittances received and enjoyed by Nigeria. But, their propaganda against this ethnic group makes them to hide it. Except when they have to blurt it out in anger as to why the FG palliative specifically shunned Igbo states.

Despite the fact that SW will do well in becoming a country why are you guys not working on it...
Audio country...

I have never seen any SS and SE or even middle belt people sad and ready to frustrate your right for self determination...

"Biafra...will be over my dead body..." Kemi Olunloyo

They even supported your AMOTEKUN.

But seeing reaction from all social media...people from SW are the most Nigerians who don't wish to be on their own...Why is this so?

Deebwebb:
[s]your just too dump to understand anything,Ilorin is already in the firm hands of north,Benin are claiming Lagos same with the north,fed govt/dangote already signed a deal with your fathers,very soon you cowards will lose on both end,be here fighting Biafra,just two weeks lockdown,you afonjas and one million gang people are already killing and stealing from each other......you guys stay in slums area in Lagos and are deported some times from Lagos, be here claiming nonsense..[/s]
