Afonjas are not against your referendum, we are simply against your hate campaign especially since you still want to continue living and doing business in "Zoo". Direct your energy and pressure on your elected representatives to aggressively push for referendum to be included in "Zoo" constitution.



...Use your brains and think like humans for once...The point he is making which is flying over your head is you cannot order Igbos to leave while we are stuck with you as Nigerians...Let the country dis-integrate then you can other Igbos as 'foreigners' to leave..

..Afonjas must think like the humans they claim they are

I diligently read through your post. I will suggest you stop bringing wrong instances to buttress your ill point. I will like you to educate me if the Nigerians back then in the Britain called GB zoo, tell me if they wake up in the morning and praying for the death of the queen, and I will like to know if they wish Great Britain war or any form of calamity.

We Nigerians are tired of you people, we don't hate you but we want you leave. Pack your bag and leave our country.

What hate campaign do you speak of?

They seem to think that calling people names constitutes as a "hate campaign" undecided. These people are so sensitive it's ridiculous. Just compare this so called "hate campaign" conducted by IPOB in the last few years to the decades of vilification and marginalisation that the Nigerian polity, particularly the North, has spearheaded against Ndigbo. Now that they're getting a tiny taste of their own medicine, they're crying foul. If we hated them anywhere near the way they hate us then these people would've declared war on us by now.

Those lots are despicable. Separating ourselves from them will be the greatest gift we can ever offer unborn Igbo generations.

You are a tribalist and have been one for a long time. The reason why they were insulting you was because they, like most of us here, could see through your pretence. You don't just stop being a tribalist because you like a woman; it is ingrained within you.

Ok I call this IgboExit from the Brexit coinage. It is the desire of the Igbos to leave the Nigerian Union and form Biafra, but what Im about to talk about borders on the quit notice given to Igbos by Arewa Youths so they can inherit their properties. The misconception of somepeople about Biafra is that Igbos will leave Nigeria after the nation is formed. Far from that, Nigeria declare In dependence from Britain and there are still many Nigerians in Britain. But the topic today is about Uganda, someone wrote

In 1972, General Idi Amin, the Head of State of Uganda, ordered the 80,000 South Asians living in his country to leave, they had 90 days to comply and could only take $50 out of Uganda

Of the 80,000 Asians ordered to leave Uganda, 23,000 were Ugandan citizens whose parents had lived in the country even before Uganda became a nation. Indians first moved to Uganda in the 1890s to work in large railway and infrastructure projects. By the 1970s, they were leading in business and commerce. Before the expulsion, Asians owned many large businesses in Uganda. A BBC News report posted that the Indians owned 90% of Uganda businesses and accounted for 90% of Uganda's tax revenues.

Why did Idi Amin expel 50,000 Asians that gave him 90% of tax revenues?

Well he accusing them of "sabotaging Uganda's economy and encouraging corruption" in addition to "milking Uganda's money". The expulsion was in Idi Amin"s words a “deliberate policy to transfer the economic control of Uganda into the hands of Ugandans for the first time in our country's history.”

It was in effect a money grab by Idi Amin, according to a book by Jan Jorgensen titled Uganda : A Modern History, about 5,655 individual firms, ranches, farms, and agricultural estates even cars and televisions were reallocated by Idi Amin to selected beneficiaries, mostly individuals who whose only qualification to "inherit" these business was that they were Ugandan and friends of Idi Amin. This was an eradication of the Ugandan economic middle-class, with the express intent to seizure and transfer their wealth.

So the Asians left Uganda, most moved to the UK, some to Canada, US, West Germany, it was an exodus. What was Uganda loss became the gain of the nations that accepted the Asians. In 2012, David Cameron the British PM called the Asians from Uganda “one of the most successful groups of immigrants anywhere in the history of the world”, why? because they prospered and paid taxes in the UK.

What happened to Uganda? A working paper by the Maastricht School of Management examined the social and economic effects of the Asian expulsion from Uganda, the paper found and we quote...

"The Ugandan economy was devastated by Amin’s expulsion of the Asian community........The real value of salaries and wages fall by 90% in less than a decade. ........In retrospect, the expulsion put an end to Uganda's post-independence prosperity.....Investments dried up, exports declined, and per capita incomes fell continuously from 1973 (Asians expelled in 1972).

The working paper continues. "Thus, there were three main effects of the Asian expulsion:

1. Skilled managers were replaced by largely unskilled people, often drawn from the military and with little education;

2. The appropriation of their properties earned the country a long-lived reputation for lawlessness and property confiscation;

3. The manner in which former Asian businesses were acquired created insecurity of tenure, leading to asset stripping.

in summary, the expulsion of the Asians from Uganda was an economic disaster.

in 1985, President Yoweri Museveni, asked the Asian exiles to return to Uganda, some have. Now despite making up less than 1% of the population, the Asians are now estimated to contribute up to 65% of Uganda's tax revenues, in fact Uganda richest man, Sudhir Ruperalia, is an Asian. So the plan by Idi Amin to redistribute Asian property to Ugandan backfired, and today the Uganda economy is back in Asian hands.

Collective wealth it seems is created organically, deliberately and strategically. its cannot be expropriated from one group of citizens and handed over to different group of citizens.....no.

Those that forget history are condemned to repeat it.

Until then I will continue to call out the northern criminals. I dare the arewa youth to carry out their threat. They know where to find us. Let me stop here for now.
And whats threat of the Atewa youths? Did it include visiting violence on the stubborn ibos who refuse to leave?

Can you provide any evidence to buttress this your point?... Can you provide any evidence to prove that Nigeria's economy wasn't devastatingly hit by the exit of Igbos from all over the country?.... It is commonsensical that any economy would be seriously hit if there's an exit of so many people who greatly contribute (and even form the life-blood) of trade, commerce, industry, real estate etc. The economies of even the almighty nations like USA or Great Britain would be hit if Nigerians living and working in those countries are ejected forcefully.

You are getting a lot of things wrong.

Nigerians living in Britain before independence were doing so legally (on visas as immigrants or as citizens). Should Igbos secede, a Biafran would only continue to live legally in Nigeria if he hasn't renounced Nigeria.

Also, stop comparing the case of independence to seccession. They are different.
