I gave an example earlier on a meeting held by Ndigbo in a Lagos market. There are lots of Igbo people who may have "plan b" on their next line of survival if the country breaks. When you visit some the main markets in Lagos, especially Yaba, u discover that some Igbo people are ready to bare the loss either because a large percentage of them don't have landed properties in Lagos or they have business branches in the east.
If Nigerians can get visa and live in the UK for over 25 years, why can't we do same if the country breaks?
Break up of Igbo land from Nigeria is likely going to mean a break up of Niger Delta from Nigeria to have their own country. There may never be a Nigerian Water way if Ndigbo break out of Nigeria.

As for the migration of Ndigbo out of Nigeria, that one is inevitable. Even if a referendum is to be conducted, all sons and daughters of Igbo land will definitely migrate back home. You don't expect a breakup of Nigeria without any negative effect do you?

Oga I am an Igbo outside Igbo land;Kaduna to be precise and I am not in support of this ur unrealistic Biafran bullcrap,at least not now. Most of you people are just shallow emotional beings masquerading as leaders of thought. What is going on to the Igbo people in Nigeria that would make us seek secession? Is it because we have not yet gotten the Nigerian presidency which shall be gotten one day? Or is it because people are seeking us out to massacre in other parts of Nigeria? There is no problem today that requires secession. Before you even think of breaking up have you developed a local economy that can support an independent Igbo land? These are the pertinent issues and not all these day dreaming and unrealistic arguments. It's like you are jobless

Yyeske:
Yes many Igbos all over Nigeria do not have landed properties but what about those that do, does Biafra have any agreement with Nigeria on those?

What if Nigeria makes her visas very difficult for Biafrans to get, what would you do, force Nigeria to give it freely?

Groups around Igboland, their traditional and political leaders have one or the other said they remain Nigerians and not ready to break out or form any country, are you now banking on their eventual breakup from Nigeria or are you going to force them to form their country too?

Even if Biafra should build up the river ports in Onitsha and Oguta and the seaport in Abia state, ships must still pass through Nigerian waters and what if she refuses or ask vessels coming in and out of Biafra to pay heavy fines and duties, what would you do?

There would be mass migration back to Biafra from all parts of the country, what short term measures have been put in place for the millions of people: schools, hospitals, food etc?

I can understand that Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers were all featured because of the oil production factored in their figures even if nothing much is going on there aside Rivers but where is Lagos?

That is the main reason we should demand more from our current set of leaders in Nigeria. Biafra is not coming anytime soon and its up to us as Igbo people and our leaders to do everything possibility to make Igbo land economically independent even within Nigeria. Nothing is stopping you from building more schools or hospitals in Igbo land or buying huge expanse of land for agriculture in the east. The governors alone can't make the east economically independent.
Israel and Egypt no longer attack cargoes going to their various seaports. If Israel and Egypt can sign a peace deal, Nigeria and Biafra can also do such. Getting Biafra doesn't mean we have to always be at war with Nigeria. And pls, I don't care about the groups around Igbo land, I have never supported IPOB on that one.

The issue for the Igbo is to prepare for the inevitable which is the breakup of Nigeria. You listed the deliberate starvation of Eastern Nigeria. This is the region where 90% of Nigerias export revenue comes from, the land whose resources built Nigeria but look at the place. Cheated in every single way where infrastructure and politics is coconcerned.

The Igbo generally are not wrong politically. They were rright in 1966 because just look at how Nigeria turned out. They were right about Buhari and they are right about Biafra. The rest of Nigeria is living a lie and a fantasy.

The Igbo have not been able to extricate themselves from the Nigerian disaster but only insulate themselves. However all nightmares come to an end and we should prepare ourselves. Those living in Kaduna and Lagos know you are no different than being foreign in Ghana. Enjoy the hospitality, perhaps get rich but be prepared.

And remember that the jews who built Israel did not do so because they did not like living in America or UK but as insurance in case of events like Hitlers Germany and Putins Russia.

Onitsha 2nd Niger bridge taking shape. I am not a supporter of Buhari but i am more concerned about the economic importance of this 2nd Niger bridge to the continued expansion of the city of Onitsha

Rossikk:


You have mouth to say you don't support Buhari, yet you're showcasing his project. The ones that you supported, they did not build the bridge, but were chopping your money and banking it overseas. Confused set of people.

The 2nd Niger Bridge will make it easier for traffic moving between Asaba and Owerri, Aba, PH. Its not going to change importance of the older Niger Bridge which will still be entrance to Onitsha and shortest route for travellers to Awka, Enugu.

The 2nd Niger Bridge is extremely expensive for a 1.5km bridge with approach road on either side.

The emboldened is the crux of the matter. The resilience we've shown to recover after the civil war is commendable and something to be touted as a positive, but not the revolting pomposity that we have come to be stereotyped with. And there is a bit of truth in every stereotype even if not "entirely" true.

As I said earlier, I'm someone with a liberal mindset who believes every human being is an individual onto himself who should never be judged or evaluated as part of a profiled collective. Hence, I neither believe our adversaries to be resolutely evil (the same thing extremists among them think about us), nor do I buy into supremacist speech. Pazienza and I have disputed this specific matter of supremacist belief and he's entitled to his opinion, but from my experience, Ndigbo are the most annoyingly pompous, conceited, supremacist loudmouth Nigerians you'll ever meet. Especially ndi Anambra b'anyi. I believe that mentality to be toxic and far from being a virtue, and breeds resentment in others. This is why many Igbos are obsessed with the fantasy myth about us being Jews. They believe Jews to be superior people and believe themselves just like Jews to be superior people. And again, this is why other groups mock us as "developers". They ridicule us with it sarcastically because they heard it from our own mouths. Those typical loudmouths that go around telling everybody how they "developed" everywhere. They think they impress other people when they do it, but they only breed disdain. And when they attract the hate that they are looking for, they claim it's because of envy and jealousy at their accomplishments and material wealth.

Funny enough, I think the generation of our parents and grandparents who actually witnessed the war are far less bitter than the generations long after them who have never seen war. The most bitter Igbos I see when talking about the civil war tend to be young people with very skewed mindsets about the war and its aftermath, while the older generations are actually more keen to move on rather than wallow in the victimhood and persecution complex and reliving the horrors of the war. An observation that I find very weird.
