Its ok if the rest of Nigeria feels this way. However, Nigeria is not working and someone saying he wants to leave a union shouldn't be demonize because unity cannot be forced JagabanB: |

Its a democracy, so if there's a vote in Igbo land, you'll not be among the majority. If the majority of Igbos wanna leave Nigeria, you'll respect a democratic referendum just like not all British people wanna leave the EU but it happened for all Svoboda: 1 Like |

The article may have broached some boundaries or rudiments of truths here and there, but what I find fascinating is the fact that whenever you see articles like this pointing out Igbo faults or "to blame", it is nearly always written by Igbo persons. I find it fascinating and disturbing that elements from an ethnic group would be constantly self-deprecating or self-immolating, for purposes of which I cannot fathom. If you find 100 articles blaming Igbo for their plight in Nigeria, well above 80 would be written by Igbo persons. I know for a fact that Igbo are a proud nation that loves itself, but still there are these elements within it that aren't quite comfortable about it, as if Igbo is the only ethnic group that has pride and love for itself. I decided years back to stop fighting for any Igbo or Biafran causes precisely for this reason. The person that would hate you most for fighting for him or her is an Igbo person. Depressing. |

Autodidact1: The truth is that Igbo political elites have a poor political strategy in the context of Nigeria's political system. For example, Tinubu set up ACN, and took physical control of Lagos resources to support his political ambition. In 2011, he joined forces with CPC to create APC. Peter Obi is now the presidential candidate of LP. He can muster between 6 and 10 million votes, but does he control LP? Can he arrange a merger between PDP and LP with the understanding that they will back PDP Atiku for 2027 and PDP will back PO for 2031 or vice versa? NB: I don't support Tinubu or APC , the are hopeless and corrupt and have virtually destroyed Nigeria. |

sulaak: If you agree that the Tinubu alliance destroyed Nigeria, why are you suggesting it for the Igbos? |
Re: The Igbo Are Not Harmless And Blameless by sulaak(m): 5:10pm On Jul 11 |
Autodidact1: I am not suggesting it for Igbos. I am against any political alliance that has no ideology. The direction of travel is another mega political party made up of PDP, NNPP and LP to take on the APC |

They should have allowed the musician to play his music nau, ah ah. I am a little bit surprised at the story, most Yoruba musicians know a lot of igbo songs. I am assuming the guy knows his audience from their dressing, he could have done a lot of English, pidgin or even igbó songs and dropped a Yoruba one once in a while. If he was playing back to back Yoruba music, even if they were praise ones, then quite frankly, he got what he deserved. Someone also must have warned him first and he ignored them, unless they had a band on standby to replace him (not just the DJ). All in all, a very bad situation. |

DMerciful:Someone wanting to leave the union shouldn't be demonize but saying others forced u into the union when it was your ancestors that cleared shut the door for someone wanting to leave, should that be applauded? We are not against ur Biafra, we are against the way u go about it. |
