Igboid:
Are you saying that only Midwesterners subservient to Yoruba Arewa masters are true representatives of Midwest. Those in alliance with Ndiigbo are false Midwesterners?

As a matter of FACT they are, like Major Albert Okonkwo who was later foisted on the people by the ikemba himself against the wishes of Banjo and the locals. Not also forgetting the so called Midwestern ibos like Lt. Cols. Nwawo, Nwanjei, Igboba, Okwechime ati bebelo who colluded with their ibo brethrens to effect the invasion and occupation of the region, a neutral region. Ojukwu's secessionist army suddenly transformed into pseudo Liberation(sic) force, invading and occupying neighboring region/s.



Zik is responsible and answerable for his actions. No law of the land prohibited him from contesting for elections in the Western region. He simply exercised his franchise.

Yes he is and so were his fellow NCNC members who were majorly, ibos. Zik was born and raised in the north but he did not see fit to exercise his so called "franchise" in the region of his birth as a Nigerian. He didn’t even dare to campaign in the north but rather cowardly chose to relegate the matter to his northern ally. It was yorubaland that the slimy man chose to express his nigerianess. ole!



How exactly were Ndiigbo the only ones all out for one Nigeria?

Haba! Mister, you are such a damn liar! Only Zik and his people were singing the incongruous tune of one Nigeria. Awo was obviously against the concept when he alluded it as “simply a geographical expression.........” and no one is left in any doubt as to the position of the sardunna who clearly was suspicious of ibo’s domineering and covetous tendencies. So, it came as no surprise to sane and objective observers when soon after independence, he instituted his “northernisation policy” clearly aimed at checking ibos’ desire and proclivity to dominate his people on their home turf.




Did we force any Nigerian group at gun point and battle front to be part of Nigeria. For whatever reason, Zik believed in one Nigeria, and pushed for it.

No you didn’t but it’s a matter of historical FACT that Zik and his NCNC party members chose to delay their date for self-rule from the brits just to accommodate the hausa/Fulani wishes and condition to remain in the false union.




He didn't force any Nigerian group into Nigerian project, he convinced them all and made them see reason to subscribe to his Nigerian agenda, he even conceded power to the North to woo them into the agenda.

Exactly! Zik and his ibo people opted to concede power to the North to retain them in their dubious Nigeria agenda. The same north that have been killing ibos in their own region since the 40’s. One then wonders why Zik and his people were so keen to have the north who openly expresses their hatred for them in the same union? Zik and his people were so desperate for One Nigeria and equally unequivocal in their desire to have the north who despised them in the union



[s]If Nigerian groups accepted Zik's one Nigeria agenda, it was Of their own volition and not by force. Bamenda opted for independence, the colonial powers refused and gave them the option of Nigeria or Cameroon, they chose Cameroun. Maybe if Yorubas were not sold on the Nigerian project, they could have tolled Bamenda path and joined their kin and kiths in Benin republic.

Nothing would have been the fate of Yorubas. Banjo would have probably rebelled and become Yoruba leader.

So you agree that Banjo would have eventually rebelled against ojukwu’s occupation of his fatherland? So, which in essence means Ojukwu before the rebellion would have been the top gun in yorubaland deciding the fate of the locals. Ibos have been lusting after yorubaland since the 40's. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, was this not what was inferred in the purported false letter or was it any different to what transpired after ojukwu had liberated the Midwest region?


The East interest in Lagos was never that of conquest, it was that of taking out an enemy( Nigerian FG) military base and cripple their weapon supply from Lagos ports.

It was not ibo’s desire to conquer yorubaland but only to dominate the people as has often been vocalised by many of your greedy and covetous elite



No where in Igbo history has there been story of us annexing other people's land,there is simply no historical antecedent to the propaganda of the Ndiigbo wanting to annex other people's land, we were never empire builders.

Empire builders, indeed!! You will have to have built an enviable empire in your homestead before you attempt to proceed to another man’s land to build your bogus empire. Why is it that you folks only dream of turning another man's region into an utopia but your ancestral land, you avoid like the plague?



We claim Lagos today because we are Nigerians and we know it pains you to have to share Lagos with us. It's our own way of paying you back for your role during the civil war.

And who says we are sharing lagos with you? Only in the deluded fragment of your warped and impish imaginations. We own Lagos and determine its future regardless of other Nigerians whom we accommodate in the city. Ok , i concur with you. You were only trying to repay us for not falling for your Trojan horse which was obviously an hegemonic strategy but unfortunately we saw through your infantile pranks. Awa ta gun esin lo do iya won, eyin wa fe gun ketete wa do ti wa- Yorubas that rode on a (flashy) horse to go and bleep other people's mother and you are trying to bleep ours on a shegoat. what arrant non sense!!!



You can't eat your cake and have it. If you don't want Igbos laying claim to Lagos, you know what to do. You don't see Igbos laying claim to Doula or Yauonde.

Of course, we don’t hear ibos laying claim to Abuja as a no man’s land, afterall, its been the nation’s capital for a while now. We all know what will be their fate if such a provocative and odious allusion were made by them in the hands of those who just love to use them as target practice whenever the mood takes them and to remind them of their true status in the union they birthed.


Talk about the HUNTER now morphing into the HUNTED..........................for sports.

Hedonistically:
You're not sure of where you stand, my friend. It seems that you're a bit confused about whether there is a difference between hating Jonathan and not liking Buhari. Think about that.

Campaign season is long over. Jonathan is long gone. Buhari has been in the saddle for almost two years now. Long enough time to see that he has nothing to offer, and long enough to show that he is more incompetent, and more anti-masses than any other president we have ever had... Chasing PDP and Jonathan era officials upandan in the name of fighting corruption cannot conceal his gross incompetence and ineptitude.

So why can't your brethren objectively assess Buhari on the strength of his own abysmal performance so far, without being blinded by bigoted and misplaced hatred for Jonathan. Why lie that Buhari is "working" just because you don't like the humble man from Otueke called Jonathan?

MrsPhyno:
No matter how they shift the blame to other sectors of the country, the truth remains.

Why don't Northern elites want a restructured Nigeria?

If it's not IPOB it's the Avengers or it's Ndi Yoruba who all apparently want if for "bad reasons".
Why does the North not want it?

I stand to be corrected sha.

......It is therefore a gang up to deprived the north the benefits its is getting for been richly endowed.”

many of us would Submit ourselves willingly to Martyrdom.

Indeed!!!

LWKMD

Hedonistically:
Every where I go to - every random bar or lounge, street corner, academic setting of so called intellectuals, or corporate forum... it appears that most Yoruba people are adamant that Buhari is working. It is almost unbelievable. Now I understand why some people accuse them of being political and social slaves to the North.

What has Buhari done for Yorubaland to deserve such extreme level of zombie-like followership?

Igboid:
Was Ejoor elected by the Midwesterners? Was he not also a military administrator.

Are you saying that only non Igbo Midwesterners are entitled to leading Midwest, when in truth we know that it was the Aniomas that were robbed when Osadebey a democratic leader was ousted by the "Khaki boys".

Ogbemudia is a Bini Man and is entitled to his own fables/ stories, but not to his own facts.

What fate would have befell the Yorubas? How does this explain away the fact that for whatever reason Best known to Yorubas, you chose to pitch your tent with your Arewa overlords, and in so doing obliterated any talk of neutrality?

Igboid:
Okonkwo, an Anioma son was appointed the military governor of the Midwestern region renamed Republic of Benin.

I guess the Afonja feel that the Midwestern Igbos are not fit to govern the region, when in fact, Osadebay Dennis was the last democratic leader of the Midwest and he was Igbo too.

galaxy4rep:
Igbo movement is because of their industriousness, their desire to change things, but normal Yoruba man is lazy, they are always scared of moving out of their comfort zone unlike d Igbo man!

The former CBN governor said Kanu was not popular until security agents arrested him last year.

He recalled that Chief Obafemi Awolowo was imprisoned for treason in the 1960s, but this caused him to be loved even more among the Yoruba.

holluphemydavid:
Atiku Sha wan rule Nigerians by all means

TPAND:
Omoluabi will not rally round Tinubu. He sold us out to the North. He deserves what he is getting.

honeychild:
Hmmmm Biafrans the liberators of Africa and the developers of the world! Thank you very much, we didn't need this kind of "liberation"!
After they will say "Afonjas are trickish".

Igboid:
Which Addis Ababa? Negotiations between Nigerian and Eastern region took place in Aburi Ghana and not Addis Ababa Ethiopia and Nigeria reneged on the agreement reached at Aburi between them and the East.
Stop thinking with your anus.

jneutron4000:
i don't know if the Letter is real or not but all I know is that the Yorubas DONT GIVE THE FU*k about the Biafra or Arewa. As this country is still one and Yorubas feels that it is still working for them, Even if Ordinary Benue break away from the Country and the Yorubas feel is not going to favor them, they will leave. Mind the Yorubas does not need to carry placards and start screaming give us Oodua because Nobody can stop them Even the British.

jneutron4000:
all this are stories of the past the conclusion is Biafra was defeated and had to surrender to the Nigeria government. So nobody is holding Biafra back is they choose to face Nigeria again. That one Na una headache in fact if that Nnamdi Kanu did not insult the Yorubas, the Yorubas will just still fold their hands and watch Biafra and Hausa/fulanis do their thing. Even as Nnamdi Kanu called the Yorubas names have you seen and press release from OPC or Afenifere on Biafra?? That's show that Yorubas don't give a Bleep about your Biafra and Arewa i.e. Hausas.

Are you suffering from glaucoma, or you just don't understand simple English statement?

blueseacats:
Zik, is rarely considered a hero in Igbo land, make enquiries you will understand what I mean, he might be Nigeria's hero but not to an average Igbo man.

Sweetle:
Ojukwu declared Biafra when Igbos were being massacred in the north, not because of oil.

Babyfactory1:
We need to know the real and origin of Ibos. Ooni should come tell us.

Sweetle:
Stop deceiving people here.

Even Benjamin Adekunle confessed that the fought because of oil and nothing more.

He said, “We were left with two credible contestants in terms of catchment area for the nation. We had reached, in my view, the bottom. I became convinced that if this country underwent four more years under President Jonathan, the country would run aground completely. I looked at the record and said this cannot go on, this has to stop.

DabuIIIT:
God bless you richly. I know you know we are fighting and agitating for the same cause,for liberation and emancipation and internal colonisation,like lagbaja sang "..NA WETIN U DEY FIND,I DEY FIND".

Forgive me if you ever see me on this forum returning insults at afonja who always and frequently throw insults and provocations at the igbos and niger delta where i am from. Again,God bless.

"I need not tell you what horror, what devastation and what extreme human suffering will attend the use of force. When it is all over and the smoke and dust have lifted, and the dead are buried, we shall find, as other people have found, that it has all been futile, entirely futile, in solving the problems we set out to solve".

simplycarro:
The truth is that the Biafra agitation could have gathered more support from other Nigerians and non Nigerians, however the method of operations that revolves largely on insults, abuses, threats of violence and hatred to Nigerians especially yorubas is a huge setback to your agitation.
It's time to review your method and process.

Bobnaira:
lol...we are saying the thing. the very first mayor of Enugu was from the North. that a man must first know and develop his place first is a very myopic political view. the interest of the nation should come first, irrespective of what tribe would benefit from the service. until we achieve this, our Democracy will remain in its infancy.

Bobnaira:
Let's embrace the patriotic spirit displayed by this men and come together to form a strong political unit, I long to see a Yoruba become a Governor in the East and vice vasa, I long to see us intermarrying, love ur neighbour, irrespective of his tribe or religion, be good to other, so much in human behavior that I have learnt from this two national characters. Let build a Nigeria where equality, justice and meritocracy will be enshrined.

Tokety7:
Very simple question and i have a straight forward answer for you.

Fayose is the only yoruba son i know that publicly told the world world that his mama who is still alive is wearing pampers diapers. In yorubaland, only bastards says such. Most likely in iboland, its not so, no wonder ibos and ipod miscreants love him more.

Adiola:
then keep quiet and enjoy being ruled by the people u hate to love simple btw am ekiti and pure yoruba christian

Yeah of course, you are!!!

If it crawls like a crab and croaks like a crab then............it's nothing but a Crab!

evilapc:
The best you can do is to start championing for odau republic where you can always chase igbos away, as long as you champion one Nigeria, then stop complaining of hosting anybody...
