EUROBOMBER:
I have carefully analysed recent events and taken time to study a lot of what happened before during and after the Biafran war.

The truth is that if the Igbos succeed in pulling out of Nigeria, the Niger Delta might not completely be part of the new country but they will definitely also seek to be on their own and manage their resources. This would effectively leave only the SW and the North in Nigeria. If it turns out this way, the Yorubas most likely would also gently ask to be left to be on their own. At the end of it all, we go our separate ways.

Let me quickly add here that Igbo land is much bigger than the Nigerian politically defined SE. Should Nigeria break today, all Igbo-speaking parts of the SS will be part of our new country. The Igbos will force no tribe to be part of us, we will accept those that want to stay with us and those that don't want to be with us will be free to stand on their own or join any other groups they so wish. I am saying this loud and clear so that some people will not come here and start shouting, "We are not part of your Biafra, leave us alone, leave our oil alone."

The Igbos can do very well without oil. There are many countries in the world without oil and are doing very fine. Germany is the most powerful economy in Europe today and they don't have a cup of crude oil there. Israel moved into a desert and converted it into a country very comfortable for habitation. The list is endless. Recent trends have also shown that oil is becoming worthless by the day. What really matters for a nation to be great is the quality of human resources available.

For the parts of the SS that would choose to be part of the new country, we can accept to run a regional system of government between the core Igbo states and parts of the Niger Delta. We can even accept a solution such that both regions would take 80% of revenue accrued within the regions and contribute 20% to the center. This the Niger Delta can never get in this present Nigeria.

For those people from the SS always shouting leave our oyel, I want to tell you that the Northerners are already drinking your oil and have even become drunk on it. You are shouting at Igbos to leave your oyel whereas Northerners are taking the same oil from under your nose and you can do nothing. How myopic and sentimental can some people be?

On a closing note, I believe in one Nigeria but one where there is justice, fairness & equity. For me, Buhari should hand over to an Igbo man if Igbos are truly part of Nigeria. We are part of the big three and too big to be ignored.

donholy28:
Give them Biafra and in five years the President of Nigeria will be flying to Biafra to get success tips

M4gunners:
President of the northerners. Keep appointing northerners the only thing we are good of is keeping terrorists for him.

kelvin100:
Only a fool would expect anything from our #1 racist!

Dullard of Daura can go to hell with his appointments, after all said and done the North will remain the most impoverished region in this zoo even with having virtually every appointment. The 2nd most greedy set of people in this zoo after the Yoruba, they are even greedy to their own people that's why only a few are wealthy.

I remain a proud Biafran.
Igbos are not Nigerians, let us go!

Just imagine such a myopic statement. You have no idea how misled you are.

chukwudi44:
Well said!!! Buhari can go to hell with his appointments.We can develop our region by ourselves.

HungerBAD:
APPARENTLY uncomfort­able with seeming margin­alization of Ndigbo in the appointments made so far by President Mohammadu Buhari, the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Ndigbo, has warned the people of South East to stop hoping for appointments in the present administration.

The group also warned against any attempt to thwart the election of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, describing it as an affront on Ndigbo.

Ohaneze Ndigbo through its National Treasurer, Chief Damian Okeke- Ogene, expressed concern over the failure of the Bu­hari-led federal government to appoint any Igbo man into any office so far, since inception of the administra­tion. Chief Okeke-Ogene further advised Ndigbo not to expect any favour from President Buhari, adding that his steps so far, had vindicated the people of the zone, who showed their res­ervation of him during the presidential election.

“President Buhari recent­ly sacked five service chiefs and appointed five others as their replacement with­out looking the way of the South East, a development that has not gone down well with Ndigbo after they had missed out in the reckon­ing for Senate presidency and the speakership of the House of Representa­tives,” he said. He advised the Igbo nation against ex­pecting too much from the Buhari administration, not­ing that their fear against Buhari which made them shun him during the presi­dential election had been proved right after all. ”In all these appointments, Buhari is bold to tell the Igbos that he based the appointments on merit, but it seems his basic yardstick for merit is Hausa-Fulani. It is good that it is happening now for some of our billionaire poli­ticians, elders and captains of industry will now know that it’s time for us not just to think home but to actual­ize it. ”That is why we said we voted for the lesser evil as represented by former President, Goodluck Jona­than, because from Obasan­jo’s time to now, Igbo have not been treated fairly by the federal government,” he stated. Chief Okeke- Ogene noted that this was the best time for the South East Governors to provide the enabling environment to help the industrialists from the zone to make it viable for them to establish indus­tries that would take up the teeming mass of the unem­ployed in the zone.

The Ohaneze chieftain further opined that if the Igbo nation could survive the civil war, they have enough now to make the South East a viable eco­nomic zone. ”It is the only option left to us now. That is to bring our economy home. Over 80 per cent of our wealth is outside Ig­boland. Other tribes invest more in their areas,” he said.

[/b]Why do you need appointments?[b]

I am not joking, I am serious.

You have governors,LG chairmen......what are they doing? Get them to work for you.

Same goes for Hausas. Just because your son is in Aso Rock...does not excuse your governor or LG chairman from working. Get them to work. North ran this country for 30 years....and is still underdeveloped. SS ran this country for six years....and young people are still stealing oil to surivive.

Stop this sharing of national cake things. THERE IS NO NATIONAL CAKE!

superstar1:
[s]Igbos and their victim mentality since the year 1960AD sha.

If the young ones are even uncouth in their speech, how come their elders too cannot reason? Well, they are all a product of inferiority complex society, always relying on blackmail and shout of genocide to gain relevance.

Bunch of jokers[/s].

PDPwayoo:


Igbos should go back home. only 45% of the entire igbo population live in the east of the niger..... DEM SWEAR FOR UNA SAY UNA NO GO EVER LIKE UNA THINGS?
It will benefit Nigeria if igbos could go back home and develop their regions. Some schools in igbo land still teach mathematics in igbo language, what a shame.
You have professors outside but lack ordinary primary school teachers within.
you have Billionaires outside but lack quality within
you have mansion is lagos and Kano but have face me-i face you at home.

The level of hate directed at Igbos on this thread is disturbing.

I will never understand why the mods bring such rubbish to FP just so some frustrated entities can attack an entire ethnic group and refer to them as 'greedy' 'useleSs' 'selfish' 'tribalists'....as if they're not doing the same thing they accuse these people of.

Seun, lalasticlala, ishilove, I don't know who allows these things see FP, but I want that person to know that there can never be a positive result from this. It makes every Igbo person hate Nigeria the more, it makes them feel more marginalized when they see things like "that is why an Igbo person can never rule Nigeria"

There are people far worse than Nnamdi Kanu in Nigeria, and Nairaland gives them their voice....remember that social media also plays a great part in every movement. [/b]I did not know triballism until Nairaland[b]. What is the good of a site that promotes tribalism by being docile?

I don't know what your gain is by allowing these many mocking comments, but the sooner someone stops promoting ethnic-based threads, the better for Nigeria

liberty300:
pls name any federal project in the south east? The only time is during GEJ when he converted enugu airport and gave it international status. He tried making anambra oiling producing and you dummies fought it.

You see, this is why the igbos want out of the contraption. And you dummies wonder why. I ask you this, did these things stop southeast from developing? To answer this, go to the "anambra" and "enugu" thread on nairaland
