Nigeria vs USA they would side USA like other igbos

Igbo nation vs USA they would all back Igbo nation ...that's what u guys would never know about Igbo race ...we value our land more than anything ...that's why the greatest disrespect to an Igbo man is to bury him outside his village

That's one reason Biafra would be so great smart people being patriotic to their nation ... nothing beats that's

Ask Germany , ask Israel , ask Russia , ask China , ask japan , ask USA , patriotic citiziens are what grows a nation ...that's why Nigeria would never grow ...no one is patriotic about Nigeria ...we all care about our tribes
sorry were we go see them ask

Mbaise is the Greatest clan on planet earth.......
People say they too wise... the clan in Igboland...
No wonder people do envy them,
Do you know that mbaise was the last capital of Biafra.
Even Ojukwu had so much respect for Mbaise People
That was why he left Enugu, Umuahia or Owerrri and went down to Mbaise to declare Biafra
It is Called Ahiara Declaration. In Ahiara Mbaise.
Citadel of Wisdom comes to mind.
Most of the sophisticated weapons used during the war were produced in Ahiara Tech.

You have three Colonels in US Army but python overpowers your homeland. How do they benefit you?
Beside, they are Americans, not Nigerians.

This is like people spend fmoney and time on games perfecting how to be bad and rugged with guns, with bombs and all sorts of ammo to target and destroy cities and populations but get weak when they see SARS. Their money and time and skills on internet has no application in real life.

Shut up!


Two of them I know personally, they always come home. They built mansions in their home towns and their families visit home a lot.

Igbos are like Jews, no matter where they go, they never forget their hometown, if u doubt me, visit Anambra, Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi during Christmas period and see timbres and calibres returning from all parts of the world to their respective villages in Igbo land, its a culture and a way of life for the Igbos.


For your info, my own cousin is also rising fast in US Navy, currently in Japan since 3 years now for training, and from there he maybe heading to South Korea, etc.


We talk everyday. He tells me how he misses home just as I do too.


We Igbos don't forget our root. Even if you make us President of America, an Igbo man must find his way back to his village to pay homage.

This is not about hate but saying the fact

There is no highest paid colonel anywhere in the US army, you are paid according to your rank

all officers in a certain rank are paid the same salary

It's not highest paid, but highest rank officers of Nigerian origin.

I'm sorry to sound rude, your narrative is personal. It doesn't represent or define persons with dual nationalities.

They've either denounced any, the two nations still recognized them, what's your point?

Stop being hypocritical and jealous. If it had read "Three Yoruba Colonels who are the highest ranked Nigerians in the US army" you wouldn't be saying this.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the title since he equally acknowledged they're Nigerians yet you are pissed because they belong to an ethnic group you don't like.

Mbaise people have huge population and they go to school a lot. Educational enrollment there is among the highest in Africa. You will see family of 8 children and they are all P.hd holders. When some people claim that Ekiti has the most educated people in Nigeria I just laugh because they probably haven't heard about Mbaise people.

If those Igbo men who climbed to the rank of colonel in US army were to be in Nigeria army, they would have been forced to remain at captain or major while dum.b fulanis will be promoted to colonel. The same mediocrity is applied in all government ministries and agencies were competent people are relegated while incompetent ones are promoted to decision making position because of ethnocentrism. When the British were ruling Nigeria, they enforced merit based system and that was why when they left, Igbos dominated virtually all sectors and Nigeria was growing in leaps and bounds but Ahmadu Bello and other hateful bigots started making hate speeches and by 1966, they acted on it. Since then, Nigeria collapsed and never rose up again because they removed Igbos and replaced them with Fulanis who lacked the competency to manage those roles.

That's one of the basic reasons why I support Biafra.
