If the Igbos are wise, they would massively support one of their own for the presidency in 2019. That at least would make it easier for them to get the much needed listening ear for their agitations. But their problem is, they don't even trust themselves.

Access to organized work either in the government, government commercial institutions and even commercial institutions were limited. This concerted government plan worked so well that the even Igbos began to hate themselves and hate to invest in their zone till this day. The only industrial enterprise in the east are built by easterners; Nnewi, Aba, Onitsha. These are Igbo indigenous industrial cities.

For you guys your leader was murdered alongside with his father!

astrodome:

I imagine you are talking about Kanu. But how did you know this?

ChidiAlaigbo:


Ok go and become president of Nigeria na! Shebi the law also mandate it and you are hardworking than the others!

GoldNiagara:



Okay, he is some where in Dubai Burg el Arab unwinding.

Until it stops being a weak link, Nigeria cannot truly make progress. The Republican News.

GoldNiagara:
There is something abysmally wrong in the ways Igbos are treated, for example Nnamdi Kanu and his family were murdered and everyone pretends nothing happened even Igbo leaders at the National assembly. Igbos are indeed enslaved in Nigeria.If it was a Yoruba son that was killed hell would have been let loose.

gidgiddy:


I think you forgot the part that a candidate has to win majority in 2 thirds of the states.

Besides, the presidency of Nigeria is not what will solve the problems of Igbos. The Presidency of Obasunjo did not solve the problems of Yorubas, the Presidency of Yaradua did not solve the problem of Hausas, the Presidency of GEJ did not solve the problems of Ijaws and the Presidency of Buhari will not sove the problems of Fulanis.

The Presidency of Nigeria will not help Igbos, what will help Igbos is for them to have their own separate country

gidgiddy:


And when they massively support one of their own, what chances has that person of winning? Very little

I think the Igbo nation should boycott all elections in Igbo land come 2019 .

I think the Igbo nation should keep on agitating for an independence referendum.

Nothing works in Nigeria. I think that Igbo land will grow and proper when we are no longer part of Nigeria

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN OJUKWU CONTESTED

Better for you to own your own detached house where you can quarel and make up with your family in peace than to own a flat in a building where you are not only quarelling with your family but you also have to fight for your right amongst other flat owners who all have their own version/vision of how the building should be run.

Igbos are long over due for their own house. We should outgrow this fighting inside Nigeria all the time.

Yyeske:
Igbos are not united and that was why Ojukwu couldn't even win his Nnewi north LGA not to talk of Anambra or the entire Igboland.

Agreed the Igbos want their own house, do we have the resources(Law, mandate,local and international support etc) to build the house?

This topic will mean nothing unless igbos shake off our "victim" mentality.

An Igbo adage says"A person that refused to enter the boat should not say that the boat could not contain him"

But seriously, this is such a sensitive issue that you have to know what you are claiming to be factual. You may be hiding behind the internet spewing garbage, but you could be tracked with your IP number. Nigeria is not on a different planet. It is here on planet earth. Okay

ChidiAlaigbo:


And more importantly, other Nigerians ALLOWED them the SPACE to sell their imported wares and thrive.

And also Igbo had to start all over after the civil war and there was a critical need to survive. Again thanks to other Nigerians.

The Nigerian constitution doesn't explicitly recognize "homeland". There is no Yoruba land, igboland or hausaland in the constitution.

Also one thing most Nigerians don't even know is that the constitution doesn't even recognize geopolitical zones.

The constitution technically made all of Nigeria no mans land.

Only restructuring or outright separation will make it possible for you to legally claim your home land exclusively.

horsepower101:


The law doesn't hand presidency to anyone. It is on the hands of the voters.

BUT

When it comes to living and working anywhere in Nigeria, no one allows the other to do so. That is already a right to everyone. It is not a favor. Get it dummy.

Yyeske:
giggiddy, this is 2018 for crying out loud, all your call for boycotts and referendum didn't work last year and you are still on the same project this year? Repeating same mistake everytime will certainly give same result.... failure.
