The Consequences Of State Creation On Igbos by horsepower101: 10:21pm On Oct 05, 2019 |
Time to set the records straight. The worst thing that happened to the Igbos after the civil war was State creation. It was done to cut the igbo nation to size and relegate them to a political minority. In addition, it separated igbo villages, communities, and brethren into artificial territories that we call states. These Igbo territories are mostly in the political south south region and few in the middle belt. Now the problem is that when Igbos point out this injustice or try to relate to their folks in other territories, they face a surge of attacks and accusations of Land grabbers' Expansionist attache by force etc. When in reality, they just want to reach out to other Igbos trapped in fake states created by Nigeria. These accusations mostly come from a particular part of the country that really hate Igbos but also hate to see them go or succeed. But apart from those hateful folks, there are strong elements in the artificial south south and middle belt territories that echo the same false sentiments "Igbos are only limited in the south east. the rest in outside are just migrants" The solution: Its time we have a real Pan-Igbo organization that truly includes all Igbo clans in Nigeria including those in the middle belt areas. Ohaneze has really failed in this area. Some people have a vested interest in seeing the Igbo nation divided and weakened. We must make sure that they fail. cc: Pazienza 15 Likes 2 Shares |

funmijoyb: I will be happy the day yoruba territories both within Nigeria and Outside Nigeria are reunited into one group. Yorubas are victims of both Europeans and nigerians colonist government when it comes to natural territories. I dont think any Igbo man will be against that. But for some reason, when it comes to Igbos, you yorubas lose your mind. The blind hatred instantly cloud your thinking. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

These people don't see the dumbness in their posts and it surprises me at times Going by this novice logic Yorubas are actually worse off in this mere geographical expression called Nigeria For example These people crying ,their states are actually not more than in 3 to 4 states at most where they have large numbers Rivers delta are the ones having highest population While Benue Kogi Edo have little population Now contrast to yorubas who are not crying Yorubas have their brothers in states that are not sw Kwara state, Kogi state where they are bullied They have little presence in Edo and itsekiri delta Now let's go a bit far The capital of Benin republic is porto novo also known as ajashe U can Google about the capital of Benin republic The past president of Benin republic came to meet ooni of ife ,his name is boni yayi U can Google the news where he said he was yoruba The capital of Benin republic is not Cotonou before some nonetity quote me Now yorubas have huge lands in Benin republic The capital of Benin republic is yoruba land,ajashe Yorubas are also in another country again,Togo Yorubas have every right to complain about yorubas being only in sw What about kwara Kogi Edo delta itshekri Benin republic and Togo These people are very paranoid 9 Likes 1 Share |

Tolexander: It all depends on the mode of seperation and its intent! If the intention was malevolent and aimed at whittling down Yoruba original size and influence, then one would expect the 'mainland' Yoruba to inform their kinsfolk that have been cut away and deceived as to what is really going on...either that, or you stand the chance of loosing them forever and having the limits and boundaries of Yorubaland defined by the very hateful people out to do you harm! In other words, the ball is in your court and you have to initiate moves to reconcile the entire Yoruba race under one roof! 7 Likes |

IGBOSON1: Exactly the INTENT is the biggest factor. If those Igbos outside the south-east left willingly and no one forcefully carved them out, no igbo in the south east will care. They will respect that decision and move on. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

immortalityk: Of course I am not accusing you specifically I am speaking of your brethren who harbor those strong sentiments. Maybe you can explain why they hate to see igbos unite with their people outside the south east. If you dont know, then move on. Nothing against you personally. 5 Likes |

LabDNA: It is actually necessary. There is a lot of misinformation flying around and it is important to see different sides of the story by seeing what various opinions are. But most importantly, use all the information that you see in various related threads and do your personal research. Eventually, you will figure out the truth for yourself. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Yorubas should mind their business and stop comparing themselves with the Igbos. If the Yorubas do not want to be united with their brothers, they should allow Igbos who wish to be reunited with their brothers to do so. Yorubas should stop witch hunting the Igbos as no one is better than the other. The fact that a man is OK living in different town with his wife does not mean another man is OK with it. That man should not expect other men to do same, after all, the man is not a role model to others. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

All I have observed is that Yorubas are like, a poor student who knows he's poor but not willing to study harder and is not happy to see his fellow poor student study harder to be a better. Whenever a group of Yorubas says they want their oduduwa, Igbos feel very happy but if it were the Igbos shouting for biafra, the Yoruba get pained. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

horsepower101:That was how Ojukwu set Awolowo free from the calabar prison to go and set his people free from Nigeria after being imprisoned by those Hausa soldiers in charge of government. Awolowo agreed only to change his mind when those Hausa soldiers offered him the position of the minister of finance. Those soldiers later dealt with him until he prefered to die. 8 Likes 1 Share |

horsepower101: You guys are being mischievous. The Yorubas right from the inception of this failed entity called Nigeria have always been about ourself and we always try not to meddle with any other tribe or ethic group. Where exactly have the Yorubas ever wronged the Igbos? How exactly did we hurt you to always get this magnitude of hate from you? Can you in a simple sentence tell me the sin of the Yorubas against the Igbos? I’m waiting! 10 Likes 1 Share |

valenu: In fact they want one Nigeria only because they see it as the only way of caging and confining Igbos and limiting their true potential. They love the fact that Nigeria doesn't give Igbos equal playing field. So that way they can use their lopsided achievements to brag about how advanced they are. But if you tell them okay; you claim to have it all, fight for Oduduwa and let us fight for Biafra, then all of a sudden you become their biggest enemy. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
