kcpumping: I really hope you sir(a person with prejudice)can be able to process the fact that my elder sister is married to an Aro-chukwu gentle man and my junior brother is getting married to a damsel(I met last week)from Amasiri. Hate to burst your bubble but not every body is like you or reasons like you. I mentioned Eze Ndigbo Obas in various parts of the west if I'm not mistaken. We've had Ibo commissioners in Lagos(that's a fact)...No,our culture is different,it is not possible to have an Ibo Oba in Lagos(because of the difference in our cultural heritage)..YES...an Ibo man can be a Mayor in Lagos if we have Ibos whose mental reasoning has not been eroded by a war that was fought a long time ago. 1 Like |

I am really surprised!! so the yorubas have always wanted the igbos to be part of One Nigeria!!! I am trying to think fast...... Could it be because they love marrying our ladies? Or are we really helping them develop their villages and leave our own in a pitiable state? The sudden love and nice attitude on Biafra agitators on Nairaland is becoming unbecoming from my westerners... Anyways I believe you guys are smart and intelligent to call your people and plan for a separation as soon as possible. We have developed your states enuf.. To your tents oh! Israel!!! I cant wait for the day you guys will drive us out from your land! That will be the begining of a mass Exodus to the Biafra Land........... for now sha... Long live Nigeria!! Long live the Igbo race... 5 Likes |

They supported the dullar-d president when he called Igbos 5%. They supported their Oba with the lagoon threat to the Igbos. They were all in support of their people who protested in solidiarity with their Oba asking Igbos to move back to East to create their own Lagos. Today they love the Igbos more than anything because Biafra is mentioned 4 Likes 1 Share |

Please, someone educate me on why so-called Igbos want to brake away from Nigeria. I've read and read but nothing makes sense. And please while you're supplying the answer, take into consideration the fact that i am a true Nigeria and so cant easily be misinformed. For instance, all things being equal, are Igbos really being mistreated by other tribes? And remember, we all have home States. I'll explain the modifier -"All things being equal" by relating a tiny, tiny personal experience. We have/had a home in warri. Warri is an Itiekiri/Urohbor/Ijaw or whoever town (they're always disputing ownership) but it is not Igbo or Isoko owned town but we all live there and give the true owners hell and they don't complain. Anyway, one day, long ago, my father bought land in a part of Warri that was still forest/ bush. He built a huge house. For a long time the house was the only house there. However as time went on others built even larger grander house than he did and the area became quite a nice place. Now, we have properties all over the world and don't stay in one place for too long. There came a period when the house was left empty for several years but under the protection of caretaker-relatives. One day when we came back, an Igbo market had sprung up. The market wound throughout the single road that linked all these nice houses, it surrounded our house so that, sometimes trying to drive a car thorough the gate threatened to cause a fight. The market ruined affluent look of the area. The thing is, no one could do anything about the situation, the residents raised complaints but to no avail. In relative terms, the residents were the ones being persecuted by the igbo market community but in the end the Igbo market community went on as if they were the ones being persecuted to such an extend, residents just gave up and kept quite. Not satisfied, market owners went on to label the residents lazy people who like to complain and not work hard never mind that many of the residents were wealthy home owners. A side observation: In one sense, the "Igbo-Market-community" above and "Fulani-herders-community" constitute a similar bane to the wider community. However, the measure of their nuisances, their anti-social behavior, is inversely proportional to the inability of the state to fulfill its lawful remit. Thing, is, Warri people are reasonable, we are all brothers, all Nigerians, fine. However, imagine that such a petty situation should happen in some part of Nigeria where the landlords aren't so reasonable but the Igbo-market-community did not take this into consideration, consequently people take matter into their hands - because of the absence of state - leading to bloodshed. Who would be to blame? For me, all sides bare a burden of responsibility consequently all sides share some blame. Given the nature of the neighborhood, the market community should be sensible. Given the nature of our human intelligence and quest for civilized bahaivyour, the wider-community should act responsibly. Given the nature of the law, the state should do its duty. So, following the violence and death, the market-community is within right to cry ethnic Persecution; the host community, ethnic exploitation; the State, law and order. The fact is however none of the above is true or it could there could be some truth but if reasonable course of action was never pursued in the first instance none can prove their case and we're left with unsatisfactory sentimental conclusions. I am aware of the larger issues of the civil war (our family was in the thick of this), religious intolerance, Political marginalization at the center of power etc. In the last instance, all tribes face this position or would face it if they're not sufficiently astute politically. The people of Delta State and other smaller peoples of the Middle Belt come closest to persecution in Nigeria and yet i wouldn't argue that we are when the facts are examined minutely and reasonable courses of action that should and could be taken are neglected in favor of easy and sentimental appeal to naive Western Eyes. Finally, the entirety above was not meant to disprove or approve anything. And i am aware of its simplicity. I just want someone to explain to me, and others not conversant with the full facts, why the Igobs want to pull out of Nigeria, if the answer is not simply because they want to pull out because they have the right to do so if they want. 1 Like |

Litmus:So with all the textbook quotes, it is good to maintain the status quo because of the properties and all Whatnots? Someone can wake up and decides that he/she is no longer comfortable with way things are and need to move on, what's hard to understand? Igbos don't need to be overtly marginalized for them to make a proactive stand. The time is now, we have been killed enough and do not tell me whether we are the only people being killed, you and your ilks can stay and enjoy the status quo. 2 Likes |

GenIgrigi:Lolz, I don't hate Ibos, but I see no reason we shld keep them around when they clearly want out. U guys are the ones tht often show dislike and hatred for other tribes esp on NL here. If u leave, u won't be missed, not by me anyway. # Biaframustgo |

OilIndustry: What a foolish joke. Nigeria cannot grant independence to anybody because Nigeria is not colonial power and never colonized anybody. |
