Giddy, I dont know how old you are and how well you understand what referendum means. Here's the thing. YOU ADMINISTER A R3FFERENDUM ON A PEOPLE ONLY IF THEY ASK FOR IT! Have we asked for a referendum? The answer is NO!! Have we asked you guys to fight for us? NO!! So, where exactly are you coming from for goodness sake? ![]() 3 Likes |

Osagyefo98: If Biafra is just about Igbo then its impossible to leave the so called SS out of it. The simple reason is that 60% of Rivers state, 35% of Delta state, the 12 communities that make up Igbanke in Edo state, the Legbo Igbos of Cross River amongst others There are millions of in Igbos who are indigenous to the called SS and nobody is going to leave them behind. It should be noted that what makes a person to be Igbo is not belonging to the SE. The Igalas of Anambra, the Idomas of Enugu and the Ibibios of Abia all belong to SE but are not Igbos. What make a person to be Igbo is speaking Igbo as the ancestral language, having an Igbo surname and practicing Igbo culture. That is is why there is no difference between former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, an Ikwerre man from Rivers state, and my friend Chibuike Amaechi, an Nsukka man from Enugu state Both speak Igbo as their ancestral language, have Igbo surname and practice Igbo culture. 3 Likes |

The response from some Igbos here is disappointing and shows the hypocrisy of the Biafra agitation and , to some extent, even the restructuring argument. Abaribe identifies what I have always stated here. I.e Igbos are their own worst enemies yet they blame all others for failings that results from their own actions/inaction. If I had one Naira for the number of times I have highlighted the bolded section in Abaribe's talk, as indicators Igbos fail themselves and need no external enemies, then I would be a rich man. Igbos are all over the world seeking and making money yet they have no problem neglecting their homeland. Wealth made inside and outside the SE is never altruistically re-invested to make the region better. Political and business leaders contribute far below what they should for a people who brag of divine and supreme ability and should primarily be shaping a positive destiny for themselves given that charity begins at home and the notion, which should be obvious to every Igbo, a great SE must begin with Igbos taking charge of their own space. Igbos innate fondness for crime will remain a major problem if not tackled effectively and sincerely. Insecurity renders the SE a no-go zone for investors and even Igbos who have made it outside the region. Without cleaning up at home, where will Biafra be ? In Ogun? Lagos? Ghana? South Africa? USA while the SE remains a waste land everyone, to include Igbos themselves, neglect and avoid? In conclusion, Igbos are 80% the cause of their own problems. Intelligent people therefore only see hypocrisy and insincerity from a people disturbing others with noise of self-determination non-stop because it is obvious no attempts have been made by Igbos to deal with their own self-created problems before they have concluded others hold them back. They say they need their own nation to thrive. If the SE is successful, above all other regions, through the efforts of her people, political and business leaders then this argument would appear tenable. By all account, and ironically, it is the liberalism and moderation of other parts of Nigeria and indeed the world that allows Igbos to thrive because what the Igbos have made/not made of the SE shows a people likely only capable of creating a criminal dog-eat-dog nation called Biafra. Igbos need to take a long, hard look at themselves and address their own deficiencies, in the spirit charity begins at home, before thinking all their problems begin and end with others. Which of the problems and issues highlighted below in bold is exclusively the fault of the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani man? SOME FINAL THOUGHTS 1 Like 1 Share |

MetaPhysical: Indeed. Igbos themselves know they are a difficult people and this is why they have no problem staying out of the SE and neglecting the region, once they leave, only to be making insincere noise, from all other corners of the earth, that others are holding them back. The actions of Igbos , such as neglecting their own region, show they are aware of the unspoken truth which is that the the Igbo man is his own biggest enemy and not the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani man as they tell the world 24/7 and non-stop. Look at how Igbos drag the land of others with them once domiciled there, be it Accra or Lagos, to note a people who are not ideologically wedded to the idea of their own nation yet insincerely claim daily that this is what they want the most. The neglect and underdevelopment of the crime-ridden SE says otherwise. 1 Like |

candidtalk: People say that Igbos neglect their homeland but the truth is that there are few places in Nigeria, if any, that is more developed than Igbo land. The fact that Igbos are well traveled and domiciled all over the world does not take away for a second their right of self determination. Israelis are even more well traveled and domiciled all over the world than Igbos, it did not take away their right to having an independent state of Israel. 2 Likes |

gidgiddy: You are an apologist for the notion that Igbos do not look at themselves before they blame others for all their woes. You always seek external enemies before you look at self-help or self-development. Igbos have enough private and State wealth to deliver a lot of what you seek to make the SE great. Why have you not done this? Is Elumelu not one of the richest men in Africa? If Dangote is building the biggest refinery in Africa, in Lekki, why can Tony Elumelu and many like him you have not privately fund and toll the infrastructural development you seek through PPP projects (private-public partnership) that would see them make profit long term while aiding the emergence of a developed Igboland without the need to wait be held captive by "FG incompetence"? What of crime in Ala igbo? Are you saying that is caused by Yorubas or Hausa/Fulani? Struggling to see what Igbos will do differently once you gain Biafra since you don't even have control over basic challenges that should not be an issue for a focused and productive people who claim all problems are external and caused by others. |
