Lol you don't like truth about you people. Chest beat on and keep electing cowards that don't care about you. You always welcome to cry on NL since your cries don't matter in SE to your politicians.

Blue3k:
Yeah the coward the SE government produces as governors. IPOB being dealt severely but they didn't have mouth for herdsmen. How lame of you guys.

Blue3k:
IPOB getting dragged like rag doll. If the prosecution lands them with murder changes that's end of claiming to be non violent. International support if it exist wI'll be scarce.

Amarabae:
Irrelevent,
whether they sing it or not,
next please

Sanchez01:
Are we distorting facts and history now? Which soldiers of a particular divide launched the selective coup which triggered the civil war? You guys haven't seen anything yet. You have all been fanning the embers of war since Buhari came into power and claimed this is not 1967. Not to worry, I sincerely hope Israel shared her nuclear weapons with Kanu because that would make the score a different ball game.

lordwar:
My God so this is how war looks like I don't feel any feelings killing this people its like I'm in a war front my uncle is out of bullets we've killed 9 people so far

mustylique:
was that how it really started or how Igbo soldiers like major nzeagu kaduna and co killed prominent northern Nigerians such as tafawa balewa and ahmadu bello helplessly..that was where it all started and don't forget the coup plotters were igbos, the one u are talking about is just a counter coup.

Obi1kenobi:
Speak for yourself. Millions of Igbos all over Nigeria don't give the slightest fucckks about your movement. It is your right not to wish to be in the Nigerian union, just as it is the right of Nigeria to have a say. No country in the world simply splits up because some citizens decide to be unruly miscreants and crude touts provoking, insulting and inciting hatred. Not even countries that are 100 times more civilized than Nigeria.

Amarabae:
Lies from the pit of hell,
so ipob climbed up and started removing the zinc?
Attack my foot,
a look at these photo will tell you that this damage was caused heavy rainfall but the snake of a man use it to propagate his propaganda,
try another lie pls

hatchy:
Tufiakwa! Nwa Mmefu.
Onye Nzuzu!

Maxi112:
I'd still give them my unsolicited support, let call a spade a spade.


this country isn't what our forefathers fought for, I was opportune to travel to the east, my brother! what I saw as roads are death traps!


checking points everywhere with difference of few kilometers, is there any war in the east.

it's becoming annoying!

IdisuleOurOwn:
The zoo must fall.

Yyeske:
My two balls fall on you if I'm Igbo

Yyeske:
I am a proud Igbo man but not an IPOB miscreant

tommynico:
[s]From what I read through the quoted epistle, you are the one spewing bitterness and hatred.....it's so foolish and stupid at thesame time. If the Yorubas wants one Nigeria, it's all about love, not wanting you to break some kind of brotherly love and affection that has developed at the base of the conjoined relationship between igbos and yorubas. you want your biafra on the basis of the hatred you have for the Hausa and Yoruba which is not good for your rational mind thereby influencing your judgements. Yorubas generally do not speak in bitterness about the igbos but it's you and your type that bring such out of them, most especially online, with your abusive and annoying, and sometimes stupid arguments and comparisons due to your pride and inferiority complex at times. The igbos based in Lagos are more matured and open minded than most of your brethren in the east because they never let past history distort their veiws about other tribes and people, instead, they pick what they can learn from it and discard the rest. Nobody is saying you shouldn't agitate for your beloved biafra, not at all, but ur agitations shouldn't be based on your dislike or hatred of other tribes.

GuyfawkesAB:
I beg to differ.

Firstly, it is still evident that most of you guys still lay most of the of blame on the Yoruba people for the challenges you are having. You have refused to even consider the influence of the western media and lifestyle, NO. it is always the Yorubas that are responsible for your challenges. This is one of the greatest stumbling blocks to your finding solutions to issues.

Pazienza, you made several faulty points in this submission. You are quite an intelligent guy, but I'm afraid you are ill-informed on several issues or just simply choose to hold a skewed and jaundiced view reeking with prejudiced directed mainly at Yoruba people. You are zealous, but without knowledge and are like a fast moving train running in the wrong direction.

In citing the dominance of the media space by Yorubas as a leverage to spread propaganda to turn Igbos bred in Lagos into minds that lack the same cultural enthusiasm and identification as other igbos, you have failed to also observe that the Yorubas also have the same challenges, if not as grave as that of Igbos.
The Media doesn't propagate any propaganda detrimental to the Igbos and to the advantage of the Yorubas. those are your assumptions to justify your Hatred.

And I think the influence is mainly from western influence (Most of Lagos bred people have a cosmopolitan outlook influenced heavily by foreign adopted role models and celebrities at home that have localized those foreign trends which they readily copy) and a continuous entrenchment of colonial mentality.
Most Yorubas who are bred in Lagos can hardly speak their own dialect, hardly visit their villages and when they do, they look down on the villagers and the culture.

it is simply logical that as Lagos has a larger number of Yoruba people and the language is the most spoken, Igbos and other tribes learn and speak over time. It doesn't connote a re-education to hate your own language and tribe. No one is feeding Igbos with hatred about their tribe. Igbos in Lagos are in no way unaware of their ethnicity. Blame it on the western media and influence, Not on Yorubas.

Rather you should choose to tell your people the truth, because we have realized over time that quite a few of Igbos who arrive in Lagos from the east are mostly on a default mode of hatred for the Yorubas passed down by their parents and propagated by people like you. Yorubas don't readily hate igbos. they welcome them with open arms. But over time, the desperation, attitude and disregard some of your people have shown has formed a wrong impression on Yoruba minds. the average Yoruba exercises caution when dealing with igbos, but it doesn't mean they hate Igbos. We are only cautious based on what some bad ones have done.

As regards Chinua Achebe, I hope providence and God forgives him for the evil legacy he bequeathed his people before he died. Rather than point his people towards peace, tell them to love, forgive and embrace others, he gave them a manual to grow their hatred and wound themselves further (For it is the one who is embittered by hatred that suffers the pains). Never will he be remembered and mentioned like they would Nelson Mandela, Ghandi and Dr. King Jr. because those ones preached reconciliation, forgiveness and peace to their peoples as they sought to awaken their consciousness about their plight and identity.

Rather than growing on hatred, You can learn a lot from Yorubas. We don't blame others for our woes. Whenever critical issues arise and give cause for concern, Hubert Ogunde's song 'Yoruba R'onu' (Yoruba, Think) is easily invoked to engage ourselves and look within to fix our problems.

Develpeast:
I wanted to create a thread where every igbo will raise the igbo challenge and we will find solutions to it together. I will gather every problem and solution and send it to WIC, ohaneze ndigbo, many senators, governors and as much emails I can get. We love to walk on high heels not knowing that the ground is wet.

[s]
The igbo problem is real, and in the next 20years, we might have people who identify with the igbo race.

Develpeast:
What some people here are saying is pure false. Many people do not want identify with biafra because it is based utopia. A country where everything becomes wonderful and freedom is 100%. Many of these diaspora igbos are well schooled and you need a better argument than that. What I am saying is through critical research on the minds of the educated elites who are still watching from the sidelines. Igbos need to try as much as possible to engage the igbos who do not live in igboland. The present economic situation of the east doesnt look smart or nice for someone to move just like that. You will need to start telling yourselves the truth.

Like I said before now, biafra will be better if you start building it now because the vote in referendum might not really favour you if the diasporans decide to come vote against it for the fear of losing much of their assets. You need to start saying what they want to hear. engage them in the developmental process of the east, so that they can first expand their base to the east before moving fully to the east. You should not force them, it should be a natural process.
