Lol, like I said ,there is no South african fighting skilled workers here as you insinuated . South Africans are pushing against leeches.

Lionessza6:
When did South africans claim foreign doctors were their problem ? . Doctors form part of the critical skills wanted in South Africa hence you never hear of foreign doctors being asked to leave. What we do not want is your petty traders ,beggers, drug dealers ,yahoo boys,fake pastors & cultists. Have you ever seen or heard South africans complaining about investors like Dangote ? Nope ,that's because he is a job creator here not a parasite .

You are correct poverty is an issue here ,unemployment is high, hence we dont want anymore poor people migrating here ,who will increase our problems .

You hate one Nigeria but only 30% percent of your people are in your region the rest are spread across the country.

Igboid:
If Yoruba fights a war in Nigeria today and lose. Then it wouldn't be hard to fan anti Yoruba agenda among Ijebus and Aworis in Lagos. You will just hand power over to the already existent anti Yoruba unity groups there and dethrone all the currently pro Yoruba unity there.
Ijebu already have history of difficulty in accepting Yoruba unity in the past, so it wouldn't be a difficult job to sow such seeds there.
Egun is not even Yoruba to start with.

Boro literally had to kill all pro Biafra Ijaw elders during the war. To make way for anti Igbo rhetorics and Agenda promoting ones to rise.

143WaZoBia:
If igbo was a race, Yoruba is a super race. Have you heard us complain about Kwara? Or Benin? Or Togo? We have more people in those places than you have in SS. Usually I don’t comment on posts like this but. Did we fight to have Lagos carved into the SW?
Reason with your brain people. Reason. Don’t just argue to prove points be sure of what point you are trying to prove.
You will say Lagos is no man’s land, you will try to grab south south, you will try to dominate Nigeria, insult other people, rubbish leaders from other tribe and turn around to say the people hate you because they are jealous. Think.

theTranslator:
They (the "Igbo" minorities) don't want to be in your biafra
Let them be


As far as your guys keep insulting Yoruba we will have to continue the status quo

theTranslator:
Ignorance
We are all Yoruba
I am Egba and abule egba and environs belong to us
Only egun are not yoruba
Even ijebu has a lot of land in Lagos state

paxx:
It's called gerrymandering. "A practice intended to establish an unfair political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts," Very common around the world.

An example of this is the city Port Harcourt, a city native to the Ikwerre. Ikwerre is a IGBO language yet somehow All of a sudden Port Harcourt is not apart of Igboland and Ikwerre people are not igbo? The FG just wants to divide and conquer us lol

IJOBA11:
YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP BEGGING FOR UNITY, ALLOW THOSE BORORO INSPIRED WE NIGER-DELTA TO REST.


LET US WORK TOWARDS IGBO NATION

NA BODY GO TELL THOSE IDIOTS WEY FULANI TERRORISTS DEY DECEIVE WITH SOUTHERN MONIKERS FOR NAIRALAND >,(

BabaOneChance:
Good article, but most of your writeup is merely wishful thinking, which is not a bad thing. I think it's high time my Igbo people stopped forcing or trying to persuade the South South to accept them. If they want to stay independent, let them be. They're happy with the Abacha formula, so it's their choice. I believe the 5 Southeastern states are enough to form a nation of their own.

And lastly, Ondo is my state and it's situated in the southwest. I don't think anything or anyone can change that. Anyway, like I said before, it's all wishful thinking.

You told half of the story..
The fact that you conviniently overlooked was that Abacha went ahead to create more states and in the process caliberated a spurious boundary arrangements between the socalled South East and South South that made sure the SE was helmed in and totally encircled. Essentially, it's not the creation of the new regional blocs that made the SE "landlocked" (if I should borrow their words here), it's the corrupt demarcation of the boundaries..

It's also very poignant to remember that one vindictive Buhari was a big member of that Abachas government as the PTF head. While I agree with most of what you wrote about the hapless views of a placid Ekwueme, it's important to note that this fact you ignored is at the center of the problems going on as it regards the make up of these areas. No one is upset with the regions, what folks are perturbed about is the mindless utilization of these fake boundaries to allienate and devide "border communities" and steal their resources as is the case in places like Egbema and Obigbo

SonofLothbrok:
I repeat not an inch of our land will be given to Nigeria.

Zionmdde:
By attacking police stations and killing security personnel who are mostly igbos?

Zionmdde:
Now go back and read wat I wrote there
If u want keep living in the illusion dat this government will for one day treat Igbos as they treat northerners since it can never happen I'm this era, why don't we protect our own lives and prevent all this unwarranted killings

Arrewa:
We are gradually getting there!!

gidgiddy:
Why are you people recycling old news from 2 years ago?

naptu2:
Basically this was the idea of Dr Alex Ekwueme and it was accepted by General Abacha and then accepted by the National Assembly (which has included it in several acts).
