Chief ; I am an Igbo man. I don't work for the Lagos state government. Mr. Igbokwe is right.
We Igbo's must learn how to live and respect the laws of our host. We must learn to be accommodating and show respect for authorities in our host states.
Like it or not; we as Igbo's will never ever ever tolerate any other tribe or ethnic group coming to Igbo land to break our laws or way of life. I am an Igbo man and I know this to be true.
This our very disrespectful attitude towards non Igbos is the very reason why the rest of the country has been gradually pushing us out from governance.
Honestly Yourubas have been very generous to us.

Instead of calling our generous host names;
-Why don't we all hold our state governments accountable for the gradual death of Onitsha main market - a market that used to be the biggest in West Afria few years ago.

-Why don't we hold them accountable for the Nkalagu Cement Industry - a pride of Igbo states, that used to be way bigger than Dangote Cement of today.

- Why don't we hold them responsible for the gradual death of ABA- that usedway to be the Japan of Africa.

Let the truth be told.

Victim mentality only reduces you to a wimp which every idiot would want to step on. And yes, Igbo issues have been the most common topics in the NL politics section since GEJ lost the election so it's not a coincidence if a frequent Politics section visitor talks more on Igbo issues. And also, I zoom out of my hole all the time because it irritates me to my soul whenever I see Igbos crying like babies and ridiculing a great tribe all because one Ijaw man lost an election



This has shamefully become a recurring factor which keeps eroding the respect for Igbos across Nigeria.

Mopolchi:
Okay, this Joe Igbokwe don too dey show himself. I doubt if say the man na onye Igbo. E fit be say e follow for those people wey their mama tell them say they be Igbo.

Alashi:
You wan hear am for my mouth? Abi you think say na coincidence.

It's quite unfortunate that an Igbo woman is pointing this out. As much as I hate to generalise, Igbos who think Lagos belongs to everyone should brood and relax. Igbos are not the only ones in Nigeria. While an Hausa man would not complain if you carve out a small kiosk for him in a corner of your mansion, a Yoruba man would just want anywhere to lay his head within your compound; an Igbo man, on the other hand, would rather protest to have the same treatment as the owner of the house and would be quick to scream injustice when he is put in his place.

The Ohaneze, for the sake of Igbos living outside the East, should learn to be diplomatic and calm.

You have no constitutional right to call Lagos or any part of Nigeria your own, until you agree that Nigeria gets divided into many countries.

Nigeria's successive governments denied you people, including the governors good education, that's why you don't understand that so long as we are in one Nigeria, land anywhere belongs to Nigeria and all Nigerians.

That's why your governors get share from oil proceeds which come from the south south and southeast.

Some of you reason like stark illiterates.

Winnie2015:
I'm an Igbo woman but I have to ask, who the hell does this Ohaneze think he is? If you don't like the way you're treated in a place, pack and go! It's only Igbos that will go to another man's land and be dragging rights. It's annoying honestly

Useless idiotic attention-seeking coward!!

Its amazing to know that everyone against ur Biafra is a coward. Its trite to conclude you people dont even know the meaning of the word 'coward'.

Aufbauh:
Ipob chest beaters you see what you've done to the great Igbo nation?
Her once glorious story is now a subject of mockery and a laughing stock amongst mortals.

We've warned you guys that resentment, hatred and insult does not pay but you refused to heed rather you choose to die with it.

You call Nigeria and Nigerians 'zoo' and animals' respectively so what do you expect?
Retrace your steps before it is too late.

coolhamid:
Buhari fvcked up Big time for arresting this dude. He gave this dude cheap popularity.

Many Nigerians didn't know Kanu before he was arrested.He was only popular among unemployed youths in the eastern part of the country before he was arrested.

Now this Nigga is feeling like NELSON MANDELA.

IGBOPRINCE:

If DSS didn't found anything tangible to hung him down.
They should just free him..simple..

I don't think you will be able to comprehend it. Go back to your Infant Macmillian Education and start from there.

(1)......... Secondly, if indeed this letter of apology is TRUE, it ACTUALLY ELEVATES Nnamdi Kanu's intellectual grounding. It makes him many steps better than many of us.
To supposedly apologize for personal disparaging attacks against Buhari and GEJ, while stoically standing his ground on the core points of his struggle is a MONUMENTAL display of


Personal integrity,.. Again, something that is very very rare in this land.

If this letter of apology is TRUE, then I respect him even more.



(2)Nnamdi Kanu's anger, agitations, campaigns, speak for every Nigerian youth.....

Bia be realistic. If Nigeria is not willing to let any part of it break away what other options do you have? EVERY country will do ANYTHING to protect their territorial integrity. 620,000 Americans were slaughtered in the civil war to protect America's territorial integrity. Today, any Southern American state (like Texas etc.) that tries to break away will be pummeled into submission. Tibet (with the support of world powers) has been trying to break away from China since 1793 with no success. China has jailed, tortured and killed many of them into submission. Now all they have left is to use diplomatic means but since China is not interested in letting them go, its not gonna happen. And if you think Japan and South Korea are diplomatic role models why don't you see what we happen if ANY part of those two countries try to break away. Ojukwu took Biafra to war against Nigeria in 1967 and the Nigerian military WON the war by beating Biafra/Ojukwu to submission. With Ojukwu sacrificing 2 million Biafrans in the process of showing how 'tough' he was. Why should Nigeria now hand over what her brave soldiers fought valiantly to keep? The Igbos best bet is to go to war and if (A VERY BIG IF) they win the war against Nigeria then they can take their pick of any territory in the country. The ONLY way diplomatic means MIGHT work is if their is a massive EXODUS of Igbos from all over the country back to the East. If other Nigerians start seeing their Igbos neighbors relocate en masse back to the east, then out of compassion these Nigerians will put pressure on the government to allow the Igbos to have their own country.Other Nigerians will start joining the Igbos in protest for the actualization of Biafra. That is when you will start hearing Nigerians saying things like, "na by force, these poor people are already moving out, please govt. stop been stubborn and let them have their own country - they deserve it." But you and I know that a mass exodus of Igbos will NEVER happen. MOST Igbos would rather live outside of Biafra than within Biafran - this is the reality of the matter and no amount of noise making on the internet will change this.
