You miss the point. One culture is dominant in the USA. State funded education is English based. Their ties are with the UK. They were a post of Britain and majority of them descended from Britain and Ireland. In your Biafra will be Yoruba people. Infact the Obi Onitsha is a Yoruba descent man but now Igbo and etc. That is how it is. Dominate your sphere!

Now, this restructuring you mentioned, what about police and soldiers? The main thing is let non Yoruba soldiers and police leave Yoruba land as part of your restructuring. Do you like that? If you dont, you must be evil.
And who told you I support biafra

Your comment implies you are an idiot. If you declare your Biafra and move your army into Yoruba territory again, then you will have yourself to blame again of course! Because you will be pursued like a fowl and blockaded until you beg for mercy! This is what you need to understand.

You are more than idiotic with ignorance utterances. I beg you to read more book written by unbiased minds. Biafra was declared and one fool who sat in Lagos and launched an army trained in Lagos, Ibadan and Escarvos that comprised indigenes of Midwestern and Western region to attack Ubani (Bonny) in Biafra yet you moronically expect Biafra not to launch a counterattack on Nigeria. When Biafra was declared, Midwestern and Western regions were part and parcels of Nigeria.

You seem to mistake the beginning with the ending. If USA has stated as melting pot of cultures as it is seen without a dominate culture, I bet my cent there would have been on USA. Maine was even colonized by Sweden but when the PM visited in 1822, the Swedish language has been replaced with English. The Yanks were on a mention of building a great nation and no culture or tradition other then English will stand in their way. It is even unfortunate that USA is now allowing Spanish as second language.

English is just a language for the Americans, they did not embrace British culture but developed a unique culture for themselves.
Nigeria is an English speaking country, why can't we do same for ourselves?

Majority of Americans did not descend from Britain stop spreading falsehood, What will you say about the Germans and the French.

Remember, as at the time America gained independence, they were just 13 rebellious States, now they are 50, so the remaining 37 were not under Britain at all, but instead came from former French prooerty (Louisiana) Mexico (Texas, California AZ and NM) and even Russia (Alaska) so your point is not valid in America's case.


The largest ethnicity in the US is Celtic of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland followed by Germans, then others but the country is owned by the Celtic culture. No multiculturalism. They speak English which is the property of Celts. So dont deceive yourself. Almost all US Presidents trace their ancestry to the British isles including the present President. For decorum, a culture must dominate. Others must bow. No two captains in a ship!.

You simply cannot eat your cake and have it. It is apparent we cannot live peacefully together in Nigeria. The sure best thing would be to part ways from each other. God can only help those that help themselves. I guess your support for IPOB would agitate the help of God. The riot and massacre instigated by tribal differences will be a thing of the past when we all settle in our respective nation states. Nigerians do not have constant riot with the Togolese or Ghanaians because of tribal dissimilarity.

Somalia is a mono-ethnic, mono religious and mono linguistic country yet it failed.
We have had clashes from people of the same tribe. The Ezza-Ezillo people are igbos who clashed and killed themselves in the dozens, the Ife & Modakeke, even pure hausas and fulanis do clash and the fulani herdsmen clash with each others too.

It may interest you to know that the often-tauted BREXIT turned out not the way it was foreseen. Just like the US election turned out contrary to expectation.
Today both polls are described as the greatest political upset of our modern time.

Sometimes being vocal and loud is not the same as being true and correct. The TomToms of falsehood always beat the loudest. Those who are quick to take up arms must understand that blood and death lay in the path of war (proverb).

What an old man sees lying down, an infant cant see it standing on trees. The young today have swallowed the spitle of discord...and now our society suffers the collective bellyache.[

This caught my attention the most.

The society that strongly believes the youth is the leader of tomorrow stands and watch the old destroy the hopes of the youth through thoughtless and insensitive leadership that mortgages the future of the unborn through wasteful spending and mismanagement of the economy.

Maybe the youth are proud to continue watching while their hopes are eroded by day?

Ask our ever increasing Local and International DEBT BURDEN!

Yes of course they do even if only matrilineally. You belong to your mother's family equally but then even if they dont, all humans are thesame! They are Americans and America is a child of Britain not of Germany, France and etc. Please all humans are thesame. They are not Europeans please. They are Americans which makes them British before anything else.

‎Lol, it's unfortunate that half-literates like you don't understand comprehension. Okay, just to assist your poor IQ, what I mean is this:

To an average Nigerian, north means Hausa/Fulani, and also, when an average Nigerian hear anybody from north-east, north-west, north-central/middle belt speak their common dialect; Hausa, he/she therefore assumes everything north is Hausa/Fulani, which comprises of both Biron, Tiv, Idoma, Nupe, Kanuri, Hausa, Fulani, etc.

And that's how Nigerian politics works: the whole north operate as one north always seen as Hausa/Fulani by other Nigerian regions.

Also to an average northern person, Igbo comprises of both South-east and south-south, that's why if they are protesting or on their usual killing sprey, they kill even Niger Deltans thinking they are all Igbos!

Hope your IQ can now carry it Lol‎

See who's talking about I.Q levels. If you are too ignorant to understand the differences between tribes and geo-political regions, then that's on you and those who were supposed to have raised you better. Don't go making crass generalizations. A lot of Nigerians understand the difference.

Ok let me put it another way, if there is restructuring would you like the Igbo region to control its police and army divisions or not? Police totally controlled and well armed while army is staffed with and commanded by indigenes? Or would you like central control?

Regions don't control armies, it's going to be the Nigerian Army and will remain so.
But for police, there will be federal and state /regional police, the way it is in USA

Correctly true. We all face these issues in Nigeria. Some of us minorities even face worse discrimination and attacks, just that igbos always cry loudest.
For instance it is only in the core-north that igbos are likely to be attacked for their identity unlike we middlebelters and yoruba muslims who are likely to be attacked in both the core-north and the east.

I am from Kogi for instance and i have lost relatives in Onitsha killings because my people were mistaken for hausas by the igbo mobs. Even in the core-north during crisis we are not spared, hausas mistake we the middlebelt christians for igbos and call our muslims fake muslims.
If crisis start for instance in a place like Onitsa or Aba, most igbos will not be able to differentiate hausa fulanis from middlebelters and yoruba/edo muslims and we suffer the same fate.
This is what I was telling that guy; Igbos see all northern people as Hausa/Fulani while Hausa/Fulani see anything Christian living in the south as Igbos!

Reason Nigeria will never work; there's no common unity, trust or love. So Nigeria is heading nowhere as a nation sadly cry

And who planted the seeds of discord amongst ethnic groups in the first place?
It's the same politicians.
On a one on one basis, nobody has a problem with his neighbour who is from a different ethnic group, they all conduct their business and do their things together in major cities Nationwide, but when politics enter the equation, you will see the cracks, which is very funny because the masses don't benefit from the spoils even if the politician is from their own village (Go to Ota, Otueke and now Daura to see for yourself)


That is the root problem, politicians plant seeds of discord to divide the people; the whole divide and conquer tactic.

i was not born then. Which division, led by whom, set out from where attacked Bonny?. You need to be clear because I know Col David Ejoor did not allow the Feds to fight on MW land as Chief Awo too did not allow attacks launched from the West. So which books are you talking about? You need to put yourself in people's shoes before blaming them. God forbid that Yorubas be colonised by Igbos!.
