A State Of Alaigbo (Igboland) [Map] by ezeagu(m): 10:10pm On Oct 28, 2015 |
What would a sovereign Igbo country look like today? This map gives an idea of the 'solid' areas of Igbo political unity and the greenish areas are the looser or more questionable areas. In terms of connectivity, the Imo River is actually links the 'solid' areas of the community to the ocean via Ibeno. 1 Like 1 Share |

ezeagu: Let me take it town by town. How could anyone who said he's current with the ethnic politics of Nigeria doubt the resolve of Anioma towns as Asaba, Igbuzor, Ewulu, Akwukwu Igbo, Ogwashi, Nshiagu and their allies? Or Obigbo in Rivers state. The chances of the native of these towns voting yes to join a new country with their kins east of the Niger are even higher than some communities in the South East. This prognosis is highly misplaced. Did you personally conduct a field study of these commiunities or you just wrote drawing from the comments of a faceless forum? 11 Likes |

I hope those people saying that south east is landlocked are seeing the azumini river flowing into the atlantic ocean,if the river is well dredged it can accomodate container vessels. |

ezeagu: Your map is essentially based on arbitrary boundaries created by others for us. The boundaries were imposed on us by hostile tribes and their lackeys who view us as vanquished people. A generation ago our fathers were forced into a fratricidal war, in which they were outgunned and the outcome of which was that they ceded part of their ancestral lands to those who saw themselves as the victors of that war. But we that have grown out of the rubble of that war, built lives out of the ashes and now stand proud, some of us a lot better off than the so called victors, do not agree with the boundaries. My brother we have seen the pictures of the war, the swollen and protruding stomach of our starving fathers, grounds littered with the bodies of the innocents slain just because they wanted to go their separate ways, and we the descendants of the survivors must make up our minds that no more shall we live as vanquished people. No more, shall we bend our backs and turn our cheeks in humiliation, allowing others to decide who we are and how we must live. When the time comes, every piece of our ancestral lands on which the blood of our fathers and uncles and brothers and mothers were spilled; every piece of that land, will be reclaimed. So my brother, put away the map you have drawn. For though it is not your intention, that map insults the memory of over 2 million of our flesh and blood that were slain by the same people who see us as vanquished in war, and carve the boundaries of our inheritance for us. My brother, put away this map, biko, and go back to your drawing board. 11 Likes |

kostadinis: I don't rely on nairaland gossip. I know a few of those communities very personally and where their political leanings are. People who argue about those lands are usually oblivious to the culture and history of those areas that are considered Igbo land sometimes. Consider the level of identification between people in Kwale and Owerri for example, despite the short distance. 2 Likes |

A lot of our brothers have been cowed into silence but once they see that we are resolute in our intentions to form our own nation, they will come. By our brothers I mean all Igbo and Igbo speaking peoples across the lower Niger. |

Ukwuani is just one community and should not have been used as an example to buttress your garing misinformation. Do me a favor and tell me why the towns i mentioned were "loosers and questioneable"?
