InyinyaAgbaOku:Sometimes when I envision the direction Ndigbo is heading I weep. It's like we don't control our destiny and we are played like a chess by outsiders, especially since the end of the civil war. The 1979-1982 civilian era was the right period to regain our emancipation but enemies of Ndigbo stucked through a coup. The north didn't orchestrate that coup because it wasn't to their interest. Those who financed that coup, financed the same coup in 1966. Ever since that time, we haven't risen up. The anger many political conscious Igbo's had with Ekwueme was that in 1999 when he should have rallied Ndigbo he sold his soul to Obasanjo. Had he decamped to the ANPP and stand with Buhari and the north, we would have gotten back to our feet. Instead he remained with the PDP - a party that has uphold itself never to elevate us to the highest position of Presidency. Ojukwu and Okadigbo saw the light in 2003 each flying under the APC and APGA but many of our own people in the PDP still fought against them. Those who sided the opponents against our interest paid dearly for it. Nwobodo, Kalu, Odili, Nnamani etc Ndigbo needs to re-invent herself politically. 2023 is a litmus test. The earlier our people come together, unite and fight for our collective interest the better for us. The SE Governors must lead the way in this aspect. 1 Like |

Have Yoruba discarded OPC? Awusa have even gone further to turn their one into islamic law enforcement. (hisbah police) Everytime, yoruba will come here to advice on wat Igbo should do. I am glad that he even admitted that Yoruba through OBJ have been sabotaging Ndiigbo. The only group that have united Igbos is IPOB. 2 Likes |

hammerU: A state between Anambra and Imo states must be created first, before any body can create a new state from Enugu state. Because Enugu gave out the greatest portion to form Ebonyi state as the fifth state in the Southeast. Therefore, any sixth state in the southeast must come between Imo and Anambra states. It's proposed as Anim or Njaba state to be formed by the 12 local govt areas of Orlu senatorial zone with some local govt areas in Anambra south senatorial zone. 1 Like |

kikake: Y cant we have ADADA State from Nsukka? Anambra will not like to miss any part of them. |
Re: . by kikake: 9:30pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
hammerU: Perhaps Adada as seventh state, not sixth state in the southeast, because fifth state in the southeast, Ebonyi, was carved from mainly Enugu state which contributed Abakaliki as capital of Ebonyi state. |

hammerU:OPC got the Yoruba's the Presidency in 1999. They rallied their people into fighting for June 12 which culminated in mass turnout to vote in a Yoruba President. MASSOB and IPOB on the other hand disenfranchises our people to vote. Since their emergence in year 2000 it has weakened the Igbo voting strenght, it has weakened our political fort in the Presidential elections. We use to be a force to be reckoned with until the coming of these grouops, with their useless sit at home orders and political apathy which benefits only our opponents. Now you see the difference between the OPC and IPOB. One is progressive the other is retrogressive. |

kikake: Mr Kikake....haba......Why the must? Anambra is too small to be balkanized further..... We should be looking at states with enough land mass to increase our spread..... Moreover I know why you insisting on Njaba but consideration should be be placed to Adada..first. |

kikake:Orashi state was the idea of Arthur Nzeribe. The idea was to carve out some LGA's from our part of Rivers and join with the 12 LGA of Imo West to create a state. I don't know why Gov. Udenwa rejected the idea and reverted to merging with some LGA of Anambra South to form Njaba state. Methink, it was the idea of Governor Mbadinuju to parly with Orlu zone to form a state out of Imo and Anambra. Had Nzeribe and Udenwa worked together Orashi state with capital in Oguta would have done seen the light of the day in 2001. Many of us in Onelga and Ahoada LGA would have reunited with the SE. Adada state arose out of the failure of Njaba or Orashi state to be created. In terms of population, landmass and economic indices Njaba/Anim/Orashi state dwarfs Adada. Adada state agitators have nothing on Njaba/Orashi state, both are far apart in every aspect. 2 Likes |

InyinyaAgbaOku: This message is the bitter truth Ndiigbo must swallow. It's bitter, but it will heal us and make us whole again. Running away from it will only lead us to more harm. Funny thing is that in the end, Ndiigbo will have to come to this realization, because we have no other option if we intend to make progress.

@pazineza and horsepower101 IPOB is not an Igbo organisation, it is a Biafra Organisation. The Igbos in the SS are part and parcel of that region, u cannot gain them and leave the SS. I repeat, Part and parcel means they go together. If u have ever heard the Obi of Onitsha speak, u will know wat i mean. IPOB is 360 and have weighed up all possible scenario to know the best option.

hammerU: If need be, yes! Access to sea is a challenge, not the sole determinant of what makes a nation successful or a failure. Somali is a failed country yet has the longest coastline in Africa. Rwanda is landlocked and a progressive country. You lots should stop this your medieval mentality. Nations exist to solve and overcome their challenges. If sea access is the only major natural challenge Igbo nation will have, then we have no reason not to surmount it and became successful. Japan sits on an earthquake zone and suffers millions of losses to earthquakes on yearly basis, yet they persevere. This unity begging should end this 2019, you lots should have group dignity and stop disgracing Ndiigbo. You have been told and have indeed seen (even though you decided to play ostrich) that those groups down there don't think any better of us than those in SW or North you lots seem to always point fingers at . Move on , Igboland has enough for Ndiigbo to become at least a successful second world country. We have an unrivaled human resources as far as Africa is concerned, work more on harnessing this by getting everyone on board, and stop your disgraceful unity begging. 6 Likes 1 Share |

hammerU:And IPOB made the Igbo man President of ICC? How shallow. Only IPOB illiterates think we're progressing since their emergence. Where were this same IPOB when Ekwueme was Vice President and was was on the verge of succeeding Shagari before the coup. Was IPOB the group that gave Igbo's 2 top positions in Shagari government, which include the VP, the Speaker in Edwin Umezoke and Joseph Wayas from Ogoja the Senate President. Did IPOB make Commodore Ukiwe the Vice in IBB's junta. Was it IPOB that made Abacha give us top civilian and military post in his government one of which was the CBN governor to a Anioma, Finance minister to Idika Kalu and Naval chief to Allison Madueke? Was it IPOB that gave Ndigbo Senate President and other ministerial positions in Obasanjo's government? Deputy Speaker to Opara of Ikwerre, CBN Governor to Soludo from Anambra. Was it IPOB that appointed the first Igbo Minister of Defence in Ironsi's son under Yardaua, Chief of Air staff in Paul Dike from Ukwuani, Chief of Naval staff in Dele Ezeoba from Anioma, Inspector General of Police from Enugu, Immigration head in Comptroller Uzoma from Imo, Custom head in Nwadialor even though he spent 6 months and chief of Army staff Ihejirika from Abia? Was it IPOB. IPOB is not for the progress of Ndigbo. It is a retrogressive front with no headway. It is a curse same as MASSOB to the political survival of Ndigbo. It brainwashes our sensibilities and destroys the fabrics of association and diplomacy that Ndigbo are known for. It is anti-Igbo unity and empowers our opponents against us. 3 Likes |

hammerU: The entire world sees IPOB as Igbo. The Entire Nigeria including the SS see you as Igbo. IPOB itself knows that it enjoys freewill of the people only in Igboland. They know this because the countless sit at home orders they had given have only been observed in Igboland or parts outside Igboland where Igbo population are high. Even when NK went to Rivers state, he was cunning enough to limit his forays at Obigbo where the people are proudly Igbo . He knows the Igbophobic nature Of Ikwerre and Ijaws in PH time, he knew they could and would have disgraced him. What IPOB is doing is self deceit. And the more this goes on. The more many Igbos who are not yet thinking would start noticing. You can't deceive a people all the time and forever. Biafra and IPOB is Igbo. The whole world knows this and IPOB knows this. This struggle must be Igbonized and made an Igbo cause ,that the whole world already know it is. IPOB will have to do this or fizzle out with time. Their clock is ticking. 5 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza: Even if it only the south east that leaves, we still have access to international waters and can build a massive port in Obuaku, Abia state. The channel to the Atlantic from the southern tip of Abia state is less then 30 nautical miles. It’s actually closer to the sea than port harcourt. International laws is on our side so we can freely access the sea through the river channel. Even the south East is not land locked 1 Like 2 Shares |

horsepower101:IPOB is not an Igbo organization. The earlier many of you understand this, the better for us. There is nothing Igbo about it, religiously, culturally and otherwise. It is an alien to our way of life. Ndigbo must begin to sit up politically and fight for what is ours. Some people understands our emotional attachment to Biafra and they use that to get at us. We must begin to use our head and not our hearts. IPOB intends to destroy everything about us, our leaders, our religious leaders and all those who stands in their way. There is nothing like supreme leader in Igbo culture. |
