How many of these delusional livestock is sold directly by the government and such money is distributed to the 36 States of the Federation? I thought you had any cogent point to make not knowing it's a regurgitation of trites that every 'scholars' from the other side spew... Wehdone.

As for me, there are too many contradictions and injustice already. Some people are so alien to the other. The only thing that unites us is geography, sports and manipulations by politicians. Is there any hope? Yes! As distinct and diverse as we are, tension, fears and diffidence can be avoided with true federalism. Our diversity could be a force but not when people like you come up with concoctions and conjectures to defend a sinking order. Nigeria will definitely disintegrate if we fail to tell ourselves the truth.

You are lying.

Ojukwu did not declare the civil war. Gowon did. Ojukwu merely declared the independent state of Biafra - and the West was NOT part of the terriotry.

The Biafran army that moved towards Lagos was led by a Yoruba man, and Ojukwu's aim was to liberate the West from nothern domination. He thought you guys would stand up for yourselves in the West the way he was doing in the East. But obviously he over-estimated your folks.

codemaniacs:


99% of southern Nigerians are extremely hardworking, independent, resilient and work towards been successful... So there is a very high possibility in the "constituent units" been better off and very successful as long as rebel groups are not sponsored by foreigners to cause mayhem like the case of Ojukwu and Ironsi been used to destroy regionalism(I believe the civil war was orchestrated by foreigners because the north wanted to separate during that time and the "foreigners" knew if the resources was left with southern Nigeria there was a possibility of there been a very powerful African country)..

Unlike 1966/1967 where the SE leaders wanted to rule SW(even Biafran army targeted the SW)... Present day Igbos(not igbo politicians) are more concerned about developing the SE. If Ojukwu had focused on developing the SE and not on trying to conquer other tribes then there would have never been a civil war (that's why I suspect that some northern leaders, Ojukwu and other SE leaders were cajoled into starting a war with the same north by foreigners then try to drag the SW into the war).

I wonder what you are smoking. Gowon and Nigeria STARTED the war. Ojukwu and Biafra were merely in defensive. Stop littering the web with your crapy lies please.


codemaniacs:


If your ancestors said "they were leaving" all they had to do was annex the eastern region... not advance into and attack other regions...
If your ancestors said "they were leaving" there would have never been yorubas, fulanis/hausas and other non igbos fighting for the biafran army.

Try to use logic and critical thinking on history, don't rely on what people tell you...

from the way the war started, your ancestors were manipulated to start a war in order to change the system of government cool cool

Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and still epecting a different result.

If you cannot see that the contraption has remained miserable in over 100 years, then...

Ugosample:



And you think those from the north are not hard working?
There are millions of farmers in the north, our silos and good basin is up there

If that route is cut off for just two weeks, we in the south would be in serious trouble.

The thing is that, as the OP said, we are interdependent and we need each other. It will be big folly to believe that the north is completely useless or "parasitic" as some people call it.
If that is the case, how much does the SE contribute to the national coffers that they are collecting money from the proceeds of oil too. Judging by that definition, it means that the SE is parasitic too.
What of the SW states minus Lagos?

The only solution is for us to work out our differences, and know that more Unite us than separate us.

So Ojukwu just took one part of the country out, and that is not declaration of war

Don't you know that anywhere in the world, when this is done, it is declaration of war?

How can you just wake up one morning and just take out one part of the country out of the map Use your common sense na

Polemics at its peak. This piece totally ignored reality and romanticizes idealism. A case of what its (Nigeria) ought to be as against what it is. Well done dreamer. If only you can go up Gusau or Dutse and contest for any political position and come back to idealize this piece met for parasitic elements. Guy you dey learn work.

There is every likelihood that nigeria would be divided.

What is there in one nigeria sef?

Except pain, hunger, terrible suffering, early death and other horrible things.

Obviously one nigeria does not make sense.

Go and research your history, kid. The coup that brought Gowon to power failed totally in the Eastern region, so Ojukwu and the entire Eastern region never recognized Gowon (a junior soldier) as head of state prior to the war.

So when Nigeria systematically cleansed Eastern soldiers in both North and West, massacred tens of thousands of Eastern civilians in the North, and still had the guts to mess up the Aburi accord and other peace effort, it became morally and politically mandatory for Ojukwu and the Eastern region to declare independence, since it was clear that the Federal government was against the interest and security of the people of the Eastern region.

Igbos cannot go to war to stop notherners from seccesion. Even Zik made that point clear prior to independence.

Sharing a country with the barbaric north is a huge mistake. They're the main root of all our problems. And it is heart breaking that Yorubas blindly support them!

So for these reasons, it is only prudent for the Igbos to dump Nigeria. The Nigeria project is totally a failure.

Let Igbos go!!!!
To say the Yorubas blindly support the North is not true. Before the last election, the South South and the South East were the major supporters of the North. The only reason they changed was because of their brother, GEJ. The Yorubas has always been advocating restructuring of the country and true federalism and they have not stopped. Everyone knows that it was the Yoruba NADECO that sent the Military out of governance. Even the last National conference was organized upon the insistence of the Yorubas. Let it be known that the children of Oduduwa are not afraid of standing alone if need be!
