hmm do you know the conditions for self determination ? Total abstinence from Nigerian currency, no communication with the Nigerian neighbours, recall all your representatives from nigeria, civil disobedience e.t c for 90 days. Can you guys whether the storm don't start what you might not see the end . Ask south Sudan
Btw the above conditions are just for referendum

Silly talk of hypocrisy to divert attention from the very obvious!

When did you and your ilks began caring for the Igbos? Was it not you and your wicked cohorts that colluded with your Northern masters to annihilate about 3 million Easterners in 1966-70?

Why don't you channel your negative energies towards arresting the Fulani marauders that are constantly killing your folks?

You had better start making plans for your survival in your OduaArewanistan republic where you're most needed as loyal, slavish subjects.

Useless talk of hypocrites as if they are in any way better than South Sudan people.

Victor Hugo once said "no army can stop an idea whose time has come" and that "one can resist the invasion of armies but not the invasion of ideas".

tsdarkside:
we buried them...nigeria said so...make una forget pdp...me personaly,i have nothing against a igbo president...so long its not someone like kanu,that want to kill me...

Bloody hypocritical bigot, IGBOS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE PRESIDENCY TO SUCCEED OR PROGRESS. Let that fact sink fast!

OohLalah:
I am an outsider just interested in the topic. And in all I read no one claimed to be a Yoruba on this thread. Your outburst attached to a long epistle about absent people on the thread invoked my interest hence my comment.

You seem to more upset about the statement by Sanusi than them though?

Good you stated you're an outsider. Just check the history of azzima to confirm your silly assertion on some absent people on the thread.

You seem rather rattled and uncomfortable that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi stated the infallible truth about your people. Channel your grievances to SLS.

Olabestonic001:
And you believe all these you just wrote?
Until we all become responsible for Nigeria woes and faces it, we cant make headway. I still want reintroduction of history into our curriculum, the healing of wounds, the realization of dangers of tribalism and ethnicity and a wake-up call that we need restructuring rather than breaking the country.
we must note that the major enemies of our country are the some elites with pecuniary gains and not the brainwashed guy from any tribe.

Let's proffer solutions than trade blames.

If you don't believe my earlier comment then somebody is definitely not being sincere and honest.

Strange bedfellows, with irreconcilable value systems that are at best suitable for the individual selves, are not meant to be together! The 102 years of existence is a testament to that fact.

For over 45 years after the fratricidal war the powers that be rejected every opportunity for restructuring the fraudulent system.

You are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' but I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.
You're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes and close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

What an "ijaw" told an Ndoki man:
"A special class of Ijaws were created. As an Ndoki man I was always told that I am 'Ijaw' in Ibo land. With the Amnesty program I was no longer 'Ijaw'. I remember having a conversation with a former President of Ijaw National Congress. He debunked my 'Ijaw' heritage by telling me that I was more Ibo. He explained that for political purposes he could accept me as Ijaw but ‘in the economic sense you are not Ijaw.’ I retorted that I am proud to be Ibo."

OohLalah:
Why bring Yorubas in this? You seem to be obsessed with these people. I need to get to know these Yorubas there must be something special about them, truly?

Are you blind? Can't you see your Yoruba brother, azzima, making silly comment about Igbos?

If you're too rattled on the valid points made on your 'special' Yorubas, go and meet Sanusi Lamido Sanusi that published that paper some years ago without a befitting rejoinder from your elites.

sammychimex:
Ur problem is u lack understanding. U are just blaming your in ability to succeed on Nigeria. I wonder if a lizard in Nigeria will become a crocodile in biafra.. Its people like u who lack understanding of times and season that keep pulling us backward. When u should be planning for Igbo presidency u are busy shouting biafra. I pray u don't wake up when its too late. Don't quote me again I will be having a busy day

You do not only lack understanding, you're a deluded and confused bigot!

FYI, IGBOS DO NOT NEED THE PRESIDENCY TO SUCCEED OR PROGRESS. Let this fact stick fast!

Now, do you have any case for Igbos to continue to hope for a miracle in a fraudulent union with fake or imaginary unity?

If you have there would no need fooling and playing to the gallery and shouting 'One Nigeria'. Or have you ever heard 'One Great Britain', 'One United States of America', 'One Germany'? 
That shows that something is fundamentally wrong which many have been shying away from.

Is it a crime for any person/group to choose to opt out of a relationship?

If you think the quest cannot guarantee you anything it doesn't mean it doesn't guarantee millions.

The Nigerian system is already rigged to fail and designed to prompt crooks to be selected for political leadership agains the wishes of the people. And some insincere folks would dare say, "blame your governors, senators and political leaders" just to divert attention from the obvious fraudulent system.

Are u surprised that unarmed people demanding their rights to self-determination are treated with impunity even till now?

Let's assume that all is well with the country, is a group of people not entitled to self-determination?

A person who says it is impossible should not disturb the person doing it.

azzima:
Because the Igbos have been dancing naked in the market square lately. Making noise all over the place.

Read the message Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, has for noisy, loud-mouthed liars and history distortionists like you:
YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA - By Sanusi Lamido 
"In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. 
   * The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
    * Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
    * The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.
My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998)...

Udmaster:
IGBOS Should not make the mistake of voting PDP in 2019. That will be a big blunder.

IGBOS DON'T NEED THE PRESIDENCY TO SUCCEED OR PROGRESS. Not even at this critical moment. So let this fact stick fast!

Generally speaking Igbos are doing fairly well individually and community-wise. The main problem is the anti-Igbo policies being implemented for the past 45 years, targeting of Igbo economy and businesses, insitutionalised discrimination, Igbo careers in federal institutions, lopsided citing of federal infrastructures and investments, killings of Igbos in non-Igbo States and destruction of Igbo means of livelihoods.
Money is criminally collected from SE/SS people via institutions collectively built with the commonwealth and it is selectively used to give to free education to certain parasitic region.

The Nigerian structure is so fashioned to favour some sections while emasculating the other viable/vibrant sections. And the status quo looks very unlikely to change anytime soon. It's more likened to a journey to nowhere.

Despite the injustice Igbos are not doing badly for themselves and they could afford to collude with Arewas and Oduduwas to get more crude oil wealth from Niger-delta. But instead of wasting precious time and energy with retrogressive bitter groups Igbos prefer to be left alone. Igbo can do far better outside this forced union.

History subject is purposely not taught in schools to cover up lots of atrocious deeds of Igbo haters.

Now, do you have any case for unity - fake or imaginary?

If you have there would no need fooling and playing to the gallery and shouting 'One Nigeria'. Or have you ever heard 'One Great Britain', 'One United States of America', 'One Germany'?
That shows that something is fundamentally wrong which many have been shying away from.
