You are not smart. No man is a minority in his land. I am not Igbo but I do not consider myself a minority. I am an Eastern Nigerian and a Biafran. I am happy for my Calabar Port to serve BiafraLand.


It is you Awusa Fulani Almajiris that are landlocked. At least, your Yoruba slaves have a port in Lagos
just be happy because ojuku deceive f young by allow him to command, in order to divert federal trop attention to calaba, more so ojuku knew that when he return from exile he will simply take over power from f young.


So why did ibo do called calabar people mumu till today pls tell me.

Simple answer my brother. They are Hamites (Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba) and we are Israelites (Biafrans). God has hardened their hearts to keep us in the hellhole known as Nigeria just so he can destroy them in the next great deliverance. Remember that Pharoah hated Israelites and wanted all their sons dead but even his heart was hardened by God to not let the Israelites go until he and the Egyptians were destroyed.

Jeremiah 50
33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

When you are a people held in against your will, you are in captivity. It cannot last forever, it will end and when it ends, they beg for forgiveness but it will be too late.

Source: Nairaland

The Igbo are found primarily in the thickly forested southeastern region of Nigeria, especially on the eastern side of the lower River Niger. They are known in Nigeria for their dominance of Nigerian commerce, and generally as a merchant class with hedonism as their main goal. They want to be regarded worldwide as pre-eminent, and thus frequently beat their chests about their population, material wealth and ingenuity. They like to see themselves as valiant, and this is so when money is the target; wealth is perceived as an end but not a means, except in the acquisition of more wealth and flaunting it. They have acquired notoriety for their vainglorious posturing and use of ingenuity in serving negative purposes – profiteering by any means no matter how abhorrent.

Prior to Nigerian independence in 1960 they were known not to have kings except perhaps for the Obi (from Oba: king) of Onitsha, hence their common saying: “Ibo enwero eze” (the Igbo has no king). Individual towns, clans and families see themselves as independent as they are very clannish. They are also known to look down on other peoples, hardly integrating with their hosts though also feigning friendliness. Not surprisingly foreigners see little motivation in investing and residing in their homeland. Indeed they have claimed that the name of one of their most prominent settlements, Onitsha, is said to be derived from Onini (to despise) and Ncha (others), meaning “one who despises others.” Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, former Nigerian president and Igbo leader, even described their attitude as supercilious.

I can see you are not very smart but I will help you out. The Calabar guys supported the Biafran cause. Some sold out in fear of being killed by Nigerians (The Zoological animals). Mistakes were made. The Igbo are right to feel angry and call us 'mumu' like you said. There were also some Igbo 'mumu' that sold out back in the day as well.

See, unlike you almajiris we can criticise ourself when we get things wrong. So even if Ibos call us mumu, they have a point. We did not do as much as we should have and even though our people support Biafra, we are not loud enough.

Chad basin is dry. Ibaji matter is only lingering because Igboland is still part of Nigeria, when we secede, Ibaji case will be sorted out.

You are a damn fool of you believe that creme Angela is a minority northern. The dude is 110% YOLOBA. How do I know? I read an argument between her and another ID where the ID she was arguing with stated he rather be in a country with north than Yoruba and the stupid transgender went mad, screaming and shouting like a goat about that and when the other guy kept insulting yoloba rather than northern minorities, the monkey , cremieangela, screamed "why are you insulting yoloba, I'm not yoloba insult my people". The bastard is 110% yoloba...coward just like the rest of his people.

Ask yourself why would a northern minority get mad because a SS minority said he does not want to be in the same country with yolobas and he likes north better than yoloba. Ask yourself that . why would he get angry yet he is a "northern minority" grin grin grin

Now to your question. - No we Yorubas do not want to be in the same country with fraudsters, drug traffickers, money launderers, ritual killers, fake drug manufacturers, armed robbers, cultists, and prosti-tutes. We just force you to stay under us in Nigeria to teach you a lesson and let you realize that your destinies are in our hands. When we say sit, you sit. We we say jump into the lagoon, you jump. When we say cry, you cry. When we say fvck, you fvck.

I hope with these few points of mine, I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that we, ofemanus are not mates to good for nothing flat heads.

Thank you my fellow debaters and panel of judges.

See this criminalistic, savage trying to assets Igboland for the ritualistic, 419, arm robbery, drug addict, prosistute clan you monkeys are. From history of criminals down to now, yolovas still dominate the list. FBI most wanted you dominate the list, EFCC most wanted, you people still dominate the list. The last stats of crime in Nigeria, SW ranks the highest in the entire southern region
You criminals were born and raised a economically and politically slaves of Nigeria. That's why you savage are holding onto it with all your fibers.

You niggas are completely aware if Igbo leaves, SS follows and leave, the north will never ever let you be. You've been there slave even before Nigeria was created. Likewise how you fools know if north leaves and you stuck with the rest of south, you'll be treated like the sellout slaves you've always been. Nobody, both north and south sees you as nothing but a bunch of slaves to use and dump. Hence the reason out of all south, you people are the ones extremely terrified of Nigeria dividing. You cannot survive by yourself, you will have nothing to leech out of and you people know. You're a slave, born to be slave

Nnaa I don't know where you are getting your information from.

I am a hardcore Igbo and I have never heard it said that Calabar people are mumus.
In fact we say that Cross River and Akwa Ibom people are our greatest allies. They are always.....I repeat....ALWAYS by our side giving us emotional strength in our hour of need and trepidation and we cherish them to no end.

One of these days, God will give us the grace to really appreciate them and reward them for their faithfulness and brotherliness.

Because the secession of Igbos from Nigeria will set into motion cascade of events that will see the ethnic Nationalities in the SS leave to form their own countries or join Biafra.

For the Yorubas, this is their greatest fear, as the North already has their fangs deep down the Yoruba flesh, there will be no escape for the Yorubas, they will forever be trapped in a master- Slave Islamic republic of Odua-Arewa. The Jihadists will simply finish off what they started in Kwara some decades ago, but was halted by the Caucasians.


For the North, it will mean less petrodollars and less hosts.But a chance to fully become a sharia Islamic country.


In summary, the secession of Igbos from Nigeria will unbalance Nigeria's socio political and religious equation.
You are a foolish student of history.So ibadan warriors were caucasians?

Between Hausa and Yoruba, Yoruba people are the ones extremely terrified of Nigeria dividing. i just discover that here in Nairaland, but i don't know why? may be they are afraid of Hausa, it seem like Igbo is a balance point in Nigeria, if you let them go there will be a serious problem between Hausa and Yoruba, it is because of igbo that Hausa find it very difficult to Islamicse Nigeria, Yoruba are up to 50% Muslim, to convert all of them to Islam will not be a problem if igbo are not part of Nigeria again and you know what Sharia and Islam mean, it mean death. an igbo man cannot be a true Muslim, if you see him in Mosque he is in a 419 mission Hausa know this very well
