I don't expect such level of ignorance to be expressed by one of the most productive tribe in Nigeria. The problem is they don't have a single reason to insult that man, you can do me a favour by asking them for a reason why he said that. I'm very sure the only thing he will say is; Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said.... They have never gone back to check history.
. please stop what are the Igbo producing that other ethnic group are not producing. they are the list productive group among the three tribes

This gowon needs to be shot dead. He has a lot of blood on his hands.

When did I write that things are now better for the South? Things are generally not better for any of the regions. As a matter of fact, things have merely deteriorated, and it has nothing to do with Biafra. It has more to do with our lack of discipline, and the rise of institutionalized corruption and our rising dependence on oil.

Please, the South did not lose in Biafra. It was the Southeast that lost.







the West used to be the pacesetter then,is the west still the pacesetter now?
You can decide to live in denial,it's your choice.
The north Never had ambition,they just choked the ambitions of the western region who were firsts in many areas before this unitary system, though brought by ironsi,an Igbo,tried to be corrected by ojukwu an Igbo but supported by awolowo a Yoruba.

The West is no longer the pacesetter, and it is all due to the country's type of federalism which makes the concurrent list very small as compared to the exclusive list. This means that states cannot legislate on a lot of issues.

I wonder how many Nigerians remember Wole Soyinka's novel "The man died".
