Let me tell you what a successful sovereign national conference would mean to me as an Igboman (minimum that must be achieved):

1. 100% resouce control ( I might accept 50%)
2. State or Regional Police (or both) -not negotiable!
3. Abolition of quota system (introduce merit based system) for admission to schools, military, federal government jobs and employment. -not negotiable!
4. Abolition of sharia law in the north (helps quell religious extremism)- can be allowed if Nigerians are allowed to own as much weapon at home as they choose.

The list is not exhaustive but I can live with these in ONE NIGERIA

If you cannot give me these, forget it. Even if I accept it, my generation unborn CAN NEVER ACCEPT IT.
So choose one: One Nigeria or Biafra (even if only Igboland is Biafra).
What a ridiculous list. This is an act of greediness.

I know you are warped mentally but the information is for non-Nigerians here. They need to know why Nigeria is resolutely backward!
They also need to understand the reason behind Biafra agitation.

I'll answer you because of foreigners who may be reading this.
Igbos die in the north every time there is a religious riot in the north. If we are one Nigeria, that means Igbos should be able to  live anywhere in Nigeria, right? So why enact a law that compels Nigerians of the Christian faith (Igbos) to live Islamic livestyles. Unless you are saying the Igbos shouldn't live in the north, in which case you should ask us to leave Nigeria. Right? You've gat to choose one bro!!
Its not only IGBO's being killed in those riots you know.

Other ethnicities were also killed as well.

So because other ethnicities are not concerned about it, the Igbo should just accept it right? How many of those other ethnicities die in them?
That you accept shit doesn't mean I have to. Excuse me!

You know, I'm here because I just want to convince myself that Nigeria is incurable. Those who have made up their minds about Biafra aren't even here on NL.
ASSHOLES like you are convincing me just fine that the cesspit called Nigeria is irredeemable.
You want to use my money to develop the north and then ban me from going there to live and do business!
I wish you luck !

No ethinicity should accept such abominable acts however dividing nigeria into many different parts is not the solution to the problem.

I'll repeat my self for the second and last time. Other ethnicities as well as Igbo's lost loved ones in such atrocities. Heck even northeners themselves families and friends.

AS HE DID FOR IGBOS, WHICH IS GREAT I FEEL HIM SOMEWHAT

Yorubas will definately follow through with a plan similar to Becomeriches.To have an agreement with the north to leave, leaving the north the majority over the East. Which the north would love grin cheesy wink

and why do you like to talk about the same stuff in different threads?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-327252.0.html

just by reading the title, wetin concern you with that topic.
are you going to feed more tribalist bullshit and start ranting about igbos and the east and the south south ect ect.
dude face it, youre obsessed.
even with a title like that, you still go in and put your dirty 2 cents.

SHM!

shut the Bleep up

like i said no tribalism its common sense, yorubas dont like being abused by igbos!!!! So if igbos want yoruba help for Biafra they should chill on the insults. Why in the world would yorubas halp Biafra after the igbos are calling Awolowo our hero and the yoruba tribe cowards. Yorubas will not take such and would rather leave freely and leave igbos to the north

The guys fact are VERY legit seriously the president of benin is yoruba and the yoruba vote would appreciated more in benin.

@OnlyTruth

It will be a mistake to settle for less than 100% resource control. Nigeria needs a weaker and much more decentralised federal govt; that is the only cure for rampant corruption.
The center should be made much less attractive and powerful.

Becoomrich might have a point but to be honest I don't really care.

I find it hard to take a tribalist serious,thats all. The likes of Becoomrich,udueze,only truth e.t.c are well known tribalist on NL.

If I had my way I'll put every tribalist in Nigeria on an Island and make them work out their differences.

Not until they work out their differences will they be released.
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by sjeezy8: 1:14am On Sep 23, 2009

Hey hey hey! D way u guys go about it here, Nigeria wont survive our generation even if it survives d current one. Pls Think Nigeria and act accordingly!
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by Beaf: 1:33am On Sep 23, 2009
@sjeezy8 and chic2pimp  

I'm not understanding where you guys are coming from. I'm hearing "one Nigeria", but no roadmap toward acheiving it.
Nigeria is obviously not working right now, how do you guys suggest we resolve the problems (outlined at a high level below).

[list]
[li]Federal Govt control freakery (e.g in the police, fire service, creation of LG's etc)[/li]
[li]General chaos and lack of direction[/li]
[li]Corruption[/li]
[li]Lack of continuity[/li]
[li]High levels of aggression in the average Nigerian[/li]
[li]Communal/regional hatred (eg advocating that overwhelming military action be carried out in the ND)[/li]
[/list]

Please notice that I have omitted "tribalism" from the list; it is just a symptom of our underlying structural problems.

These problems are driving some of us crazy.
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by chidimarc(m): 1:35am On Sep 23, 2009
Lets learn to tolerate each other now that we are still one so that we may depend on each other even if we seperate(i dont foresee dat in d nearest future) we are this big and yet still depend on foreign countries, think more of when we might become smaller & consequentially weaker. NO REGION Is in itself "self-sufficient"
