At least you are honest. There is this ibo dude in my office who dislikes buhari, but I have never seen him being passionate about Biafra. He told me that Biafra is for never do wells and i guess he is right

Bros...after all these things he said, the best you could say to him is ''at least you are honest''

Answer my question.

When BZM was arrested for trying to take over Enugu government and declare biafra...did it occur during GEJ rule or Buhari's?

When Nnamdi was insulting and belittle GEJ while accusing him of hating Igbo, did it occur during GEJ rule or buhari's?

When massob were being killed and constantly fighting the police..did it occur during GEJ's rule or Buhari?

I am waiting for my answer

Who need ibos badly? You must be high. Who are they ones migrating in their thousands to other regions of Nigeria? Even this early morning on my way to mainland, I saw like two buses carrying migrating ibos from alaigbo into odualand. And I didn't see anything wrong with that bcuz I still view ibos as Nigerians. Like many Yorubas, I also don't give 2 phucks about Biafra. I'm not benefitting anything from ibos. If ibos close their shops or businesses today in any part of Lagos, another different group will takeover the business. so what are you saying Mr ?

Why do yorubas still want to be with uncultured igbos?

What is wrong with yorubas?
Or are yorubas simply living on lies?

Thanks you for your sincerity 'at least'...

So why are you always on any thread about Igbos trying so hard to talk them out of their belief in Biafra.

Ibos introduced the silly unification system which gave birth to the amendment of the Nigeria constitution which was equally done by Nigerians(northerners majorly). So what you just said don't hold any water.

So in essence, the _abokis hijacked a tool that was introduced by the ibos to oppress other Nigerians

I have taken my time to ponder why the agitation for secession is whelming within Igbo's and not with yorubas/hauas and I have come to a conclusion that history has a part to play.

Yoruba's/hausas generally believe in monarchy system of ruling, From time immemorial, we have been hearing of Oyo empire, ijesha kingdom, ife kingdom from Yoruba land and sokoto caliphate, kano emirate etc from Hausa land. These kingdoms are a system where lot of villages submit to a particular ruler and pay homage to him, unlike in Igbo land, nobody wants to be ruled. The only king of a major town in Igbo land is obi of Onitsha and that's because Onitsha people adopt little Benin element and even obi of Onitsha doesn't lord over anybody.
In Yoruba land, you see oba of Lagos, ooni of ife, olu of Ibadan, deji of akure, awujale of ijebu, alake of egba etc, all the major towns in the north have emirs lording over them. You can never hear things like eze of awka, eze of Enugu, obi of nnewi, eze of aba, eze of port Harcourt or eze of umuahia.

What I'm trying to say? It is a habit for yorubas/Hausa to merge with any other body to form a single kingdom (Nigeria in this case). This monarchy system doesn't work in the East. An average yoruba man respects oba than the governor of the state, same as a hasua man will respect emir.
Take ijebu as an example, we have lots and lots of communities coming together to form one kingdom, same as other kingdoms in Yoruba and hasua land.

The coming together of a thing is also evident in the settlement pattern of the our villages, an average igbo settlement is in such a way that people build compounds away from each other, nobody wants to be lorded by anyone. But when you go to the north and west, they build close to each other and appoint a ruler, they are historically submissive.

This is a major factor firing the Biafra agitation and since its a culture in the east, i think no one can stop the agitation, we are different people. We don't do thing same way.


It is shameful to see people who know NOTHING about the Yoruba's attempt to tell us about us. I mean people with limited knowledge, who don't even know all about their own tribe.

Nwanne ge nti. A burum onye Ofe mmanu.Abum onye Igbo.

Majority of Igbos are against this ur Biafra agitation. Our Igbo leaders have severally openly dissociated itself from it. So hu will table ur agitations now? As I said " keep dreaming".

U simply dnt have d Igbo spirit bc Igbos are not known to b dreamers but realists.

I doubt if you know what the Igbo spirit is....you are entitled to your opinion, but never call a biafran enthusiast a lowlife...that's very stupid, crass and un-Igbo of you.

Guy shut up....how old are you even? What do you know about the intention of ironsi's unification decree? Since his decree wouldn't 'fit', why did your hausa masters continue with it?

For the first time ethnicity was identified as a major cause of the country's unrest in the 60s, ironsi, a military ruler then adopted unitary system to strengthen the cord binding the country. Since that obviously won't work for Nigeria, why then did your masters continue?

Lies.

How come then Ibos did not want Biafra along with him if it was a strategy, because they roundly rejected him at both elections.

So it's either Ojukwu abandoned Ibos desires by contesting, or Ibos abandoned Ojukwu's desire for Biafra (according to your claim) by rejecting him at the polls.

Those groups have always been there as a fallow movement. That was not the question.

The question is how did Ibos desperately wanting GEJ as President of united Nigeria till 2019, transform to wanting a divided Nigeria in 2015? What changed overnight?

If you can't answer the above question, accept your selfish and childish hypocrisy and shut up!

Igbos don't have kings. We run a system of ezes and on a normal, Eze is a leadership position by age. It does not have any form of royalty attached to it.

Initial onitsha were just settlers from old Benin empire , that's why they have obi of onitsha which was actually copied from "Oba of benin"



Igbo's have no king but please explain all these red caps and other regal gear. Every Igbo is a potential Chief !!! The moment he has a chequebook, he wants to be a chief/Doctor Xxx1 of wherever. Some get annoyed if Chief is not added to their name. Where did the eze in Akure get his crown from? His village? And he wants to wear it in Akure!!

What I know as a yoruba man is, even though, I stylishly support the igbo claims to forge a new country "Biafra", I still believe, many igbos are not been sincere with these claims, or better those igbos who reside in the east presently are the one agitating for this. The igbos in Lagos here don't say they want to go back to their land and form Biafra, many of them can't even survive another life apart from the Lagos life, if you noticed the way they keeping building and buying mighty houses in Lagos. Will they leave all these goodies just because they want to have independence? I doubt it? Even though, there is really the claim to form Biafra, what about the igbo leaders in the government, are they ready to form part of Biafra? Do many of them, at their old age wants to fight for any survival struggle anymore after building mighty houses in banana island, abuja etc? I still think the Biafra county is more of a dream of a local champion in the east than the civilized igbo man residing in other part of Nigeria. Like I said, I would love it if we can really break away because am tired of this One Nigeria project, but I don't think any leader of any tribe would subscribe to anything like that, and if we want to achieve such feats, the leaders of each respective regions must be in line with that vision...Many of them are contended with the loot they are getting from Nigeria as a whole, so I still keep on saying this, it will always be a dream!
