Just the same way a lot of dubious characters have taken it upon themselves to brainwash my people to hate and fight their neighbours, I see it as my duty to enlighten anyone I can not to fall for this divisive decade long ruse. And yes, I dont have to carry out my campaign on the streets filled with gullible brainwashed fellows because I will definitely be mobbed. If educated ones like yourself can be gullible enough to fall deeply for this age long petty propaganda of 'the world is persecuting Igbos,' how much more the uneducated hungry street urchins?

Also for the sake of emphasis, the parasites, treasury looters and never-do-wells also live amongst us as our brothers, fathers and children and it is plain silly for anyone to think a separation will miraculously change this fact. Still for the sake of emphasis, Nigeria is not going to be balkanised; if you hate being called a Nigerian, you can migrate to Cameroon, but Nigeria shall not lose an inch of its land in the process.

You're simply wasting your time. If there is any misguided and brainwashed fellow it is people like you who are concerned about their selfish ends and can sell their birthright for a mess of porridge.

[b]That was and remain the policy upon which one Nigeria was built, economic and political strangulation of Igboland was the agenda of the "victors". 

Whenever you see an Igbo man shouting one Nigeria, 3 things are involved:

1. He is mentally slow and should in that case be forgiven.

2. He has selfish interests to protect in Nigeria, it doesn't matter if the rest of his people burns and are denigrated, as one Nigeria must be preserved to serve his selfish interests, which might range from political, emotional( love) , economic and other senseless interests

3. He has no knowledge of his Igbo history. You know they don't teach history in Nigerian schools. His Nigerian education system failed him, and worst still, his parents failed him, for not teaching him about the history of his people. He ultimately gets to learn the history of his people through outsiders and detractors, and of course the version of history they give him is a false one albeit anti- Igbo, so he develops self hate for himself and his group. We have many of them on NL. This happens more to Igbos born and raised in Lagos and other non Igbo parts of Nigeria.

Any mentally stable, unselfish Igbo man who knows the history of Igbo people in Nigeria, is innately Biafran to the core.

He might disagree with methods used by Igbo groups to achieve Biafra, but he is never pro Nigerian, Never!

I used to also believe and spread the story of Igbo marginalisation until more recently. Growing up in an Igbo home, there's basically no way you wouldnt be brought up with this mentality but I now see things differently.

Without going into much explanations or debates, I can assure you that the problem we face in Nigeria is a class war of the rich elite marginalising the rest of the nation. It was never a case of any region marginalising any region but obvioisly, only the Igbos have failed to open their eyes to realise this. Every single problem faced by the Igbos in Nigeria are also faced by every other region and ethnic group in Nigeria. But while other groups have grown to a point where they push the blame on their leaders, Igbo elite and leaders have always tactically shifted the blame to other major ethnic groups and the Igbo society has consistently fallen for this ruse (because it sounds plausible due to post civil war paranoia).

The complaints of the south east not having federal presence isnt a new things anymore, but with the exception of Lagos and Abuja which are federal capital territories, can someone please tell me which areas in Nigeria have federal presence? And what exactly is this federal presence that the rest of Nigerian regions have which we dont have in the SE?

Someone actually suggested that the FCT should be moved from Abuja to the south east for this cry of marginalisation to stop buy you and I know that is silly.

What kind of wicked lies is this guy always fabricating and propagating against the Igbos just because they seek self-determination?

Let me make it clear to you and your backers: your mission is DOA.

The reason why Lagos has federal presence is clear, it was a former FCT. The reason Abuja has federal presence is obvious, it is the FCT. Are you by any means suggesting that the federal capital of Nigeria be rotated to a SE city in order to appease Igbos?.... Are you aware there are actually over 200 distinct tribes in Nigeria?.... Can you give me a justification why the SE deserves the FCT now more than the SS which has single handedly fed the entire nation for 50 years with attendant environmental pollution in their lands?

Huh?... Are you for real? Can you please tell me why Onitsha deserves the Steel plant more than Ajaokuta?.... Is it that we have more raw materials such as Iron Ore in onitsha or is it that Onitsha has more land to site such a massive steel city?.... What exactly is your basis for this late evening wisdom that Ajaokuta steel plant should have better been located at onitsha or in fact, anywhere in the SE?

Talking about fedearal presence per states and regions, besides the Ajaokuta steel plant in Kogi, what federal presence is in the entire middle-beltan states of Nigeria?... Are you aware Anambra has the Metallurgical Training Institute and also Nnamdi Azikiwe University?.... What federal presence is in Kogi besides the Steel Plant which has never worked since its construction in the 80's till date?.. But yet you think the plant should be moved from Kogi to Anambra?... If this is not selfishness fuelled by simple ignorance, please tell me what it is?

By the way, the Ajaokuta steel plant has never produced anything since construction till date and I've never heard of the Kogi people complain of tribal marginalisation. But I can swear with my life that if it was located in Anambra, some gullible ones would have been singing all over the place of how the FG allowed the plant to die because it is in Igbo land.

My only advice to you is, Emancipate yourself from mental slavery!

It's in vain for you to still carry your propaganda against Igbos into 2016. Can't you see that your previous propaganda have failed? It is not working and can't work.

For the sake of emphasis: what Igbos desire is a separate existence from parasites, treasury looters, never-do-wells and imperialists.
Let it sink fast. But if you think otherwise try carry out your campaign in Igboland and see if it won't boomerang.

sanmibukunmi:
Common man do you wana blame me for that too?? don't tell me the only people killed that time were igbos cos I know dts not true....

Why do you lots like to twist events for your selfish ends? So, because the innocent people that were sent to their early graves at the aftermath of general elections were not only Igbos then the pogrom should be justified and swept under the carpet while the culprits still walk freely and are honoured with political posts?

obailala:
Igbos are also fully involved as parasites, treasury looters and never-do-wells. Enough of this sickening holier-than-thou madness and superiority-complex mentality. And yeah, Igbos are not going anywhere, if you want to leave Nigeria, you can go to Cameroon but you aren't leaving with a single inch of Nigerian land.

Let me repeat it again for the sake of emphasis: what Igbos desire is a separate existence from parasites, treasury looters, never-do-wells and imperialists. Let it sink fast. But if you think otherwise try carry out your campaign in Igboland and see how it goes with you and your backers.

sanmibukunmi:
you kept quite for Six good years and watched as the country was torn apart. why didn't you shout then? why where you satisfied with what your kinsman did despite the fact that he failed most of his promises to you?? isn't this just hypocrisy?? look in towards yourselves and solve your own headaches. stop disturbing others trying to cure their own cancer.

What Igbos simply want is a separate existence from parasites, treasury looters and never-do-wells. Let that fact sink fast.
