Okay. I must confess, I have learnt a lot from this post. I am not fighting anyone, I just asked a simple question. Thanks for the enlightenment. Now, I just wish you can get your Biafra (that you deserve) without bloodshed and belittling other tribes. The fact that we Yoruba are not as physically hardworking as you guys doesn't mean that we are not blessed in other areas. The diversity has really helped Nigeria in the past. Anyway, it is obvious we can nolonger live together...Let's just look for the best way to separate.

Even these figures u have quoted are the ones declared o! The real truth is still hidden as to exactly how much oil is produced.
The op cannot even calmly follow thru on points raised and he's busy yelling insult n pride! A person stating the truth which he cannot counter is disrespectful in his imagination cos sound individuals refuse to bow to lies like they do!

First of all, Igbo people don't produce the Oil that runs the nation, you guys need to stop saying that. South south people produce the oil...And they sure don't speak the Igbo language, so how would they go with you guys? Secondly, Yoruba people also have to score higher in cutoff point just as igbo children...And this is because the northern children are a bit behind when it comes to general educational level.

i am from oyigbo rivers state. We produce oil likewise our brother in ukwa east and west lga of abia state and we are igbo. Porthacourt belonging to ikwerres is oil producing and is also and igboland. Ohaji/egbema and oguta lga of imo state were my mum comes from are all oil producing. Anioma in delta state and aguleri in anambra state are all oil producing.

U will not know because non of ur brothers has been killed in the north at slightes provocation with shops worth millions of Naira burnt down without compensation from state and fg. Now bokoharam distroyed the igbo business in the north without the governors of those states condenming it. In the west yorubas use systematic burning of market igbo dense consentration. How did u think igbos will not opt to go when all hausas and yorubas even their traditional institutions and youth wings always ask igbos to leave their states in a country u called yours and no governor or even fg will caution them. Igbos business consentrations are alway outside their states, i thing if we go, then u and ur governments will impose any law that suits u agains igbo businessmen that refuse to leave through tax.

Biafra gives Yoruba people nightmare. But instead of agitating for equal treatment of everyone in Nigeria, they are busy advancing vile argument that Biafrans should accept conditions of slavery just for their Nigeria to remain

Not just that their resources are annexed and usefvexclusively for the development of the north and southwest. They ate subjected to horrible Discrimination, injustices where their businesses are targeted and destroyed, exclusion,marginalization and deliberate attempt to inflict economic woes on the people simply because they had voted for thei choice candidate.

This may sound like a dumb question, but I really want to know; why exactly do igbo people want to break away from Nigeria?


I am asking this because the current agitator for Biafra, Nnandi Kanu, in most of his interviews is always saying that the North can't keep on enjoying their oil. And this makes me think...Is the oil for the South Easterners or for the South South people? I have asked a lot of my friends from the south south (both online and offline) and none of them is interested in leaving Nigeria and being a part of a predominantly igbo speaking Biafra.


Another reason Nnadi Kanu always gives is that Hausa/Fulani are killing Igbo people. I don't know how true that is. All I know is Boko Haram, a terror group in Northern part of Nigeria has been killing NIGERIANS of all tribes and religions.


My argument is...since Igbo people always say they are the most hardworking people in Nigeria (I think this is somewhat true, as I sold CDs and DVDs for about 8 years at a point, and the hustling spirit of igbo people in Alaba always marveled me), then why do they clamor so much for position in the government of the zoo? We all know that even if Fashola becomes the president tomorrow, it won't automatically better my life as a Yoruba man. Most politicians care solely about themselves. So, why can't Igbo people stay with Nigeria, and make their millions from all part of Nigeria as they have always done? If they break free, will they also leave all the parts of the Zoo they have their businesses in?


They don't want to leave the zoo. It is the right of Igbo to leave the zoo "Nigeria" and it is also the right of the Igbos to determine that Nigerians should not touch their properties after they leave the zoo.

The way their argument is going after leaving for Biafra I believe it would still be Igbo right to produce law n lead parastatals in the zoo because only the African Jew from the land of the rising sun "Japan motto" have the monopoly of knowledge.

All these right have been guaranteed by one UN charter or the other. So Mr Ewedu licking Yolobar or Yellowbar let Igbo enjoy their God given right but I wonder if Lagos will still be a no man's land after the actualisation of Biafra.

Okay. Cool. Is this a unanimous decision? Cos I have noticed that a lot of rich Igbo people are not concerned about Biafra. It has to be at least 60% of people of Igbo land wanting to leave...not just a small portion of the people.

Not only the rich disagree with this IPOB issue besides this Biafra issue is not an Igbo affair, it is IPOB agitation. You can go out and verify who are members of IPOB. You will find out they are touts, failures and no responsible Igbo person will waste his/her time with these touts called IPOB. Nnamdi Kanu has mental problem. Please verify his youtube interviews and broadcasts. Igbos are most intelligent and hardworking tribe in Nigeria and they cannot be moved by evil and selfish agenda of IPOB. Fools trying to take over markets, Motor parks and public places in the name of Biafra.....Ndi ara. Even the Ojukwus are against their useless and evil plans to bring terrorism in Igboland..

Does it mean quota system should reign supreme over merit system? Most Igbos that gained admission in other parts of Nigeria do so on merit. Must we always thread on the altar of mediocrity because the northeners don't want to upgrade and compete academically.? The few northerners in the Eastern universities knows that they merited it.

op..those Igbos clamouring for Biafra are simply looking to corner the nation's oil and gas resources. They see it as 'their' oil, and regard the true SS owners as a minor inconvenience who can be bullied off the oil once Igbos get Biafra.

Long and short, it is GREED and SELFISHNESS that fuels their agitation.

Any other reason they give you is merely to deceive you. Thanks.
