VEXT: How can food stuff be so cheap in the north yet there are millions of malnourished children there according to Unicef? What about when corona virus hit and the FG had to send them seized bags of rice to survive? What about the protest that happened 2 weeks ago in the north over rising food prices?

horsepower102: Guy I stay in the north, so I know what I'm saying ... You can't deny the fact that the price of foodstuff in the south is higher than in the north..

uniqueboi1: Never asked for your help. It's music to most Igbo people's ears when the idea of igbo independence is brought up. Unlike IPOB, they don't want non-Igbo SS included. They want a peaceful Igbo nation where everyone is hardworking and not depending on natural resources. 6 Likes |

Proeast2: Why must we forget ilorin? How possible, What about those towns around ilorin? Ilorin is in the centre, there are hundreds of yoruba towns after it. Just like saying Igbos should forget Nnewi or awka both are in the center of Anambra 1 Like 1 Share |

VEXT:If you want to know the cause, go and read about how Igbos were identified and killed in the North by hausas. Prior to 1967, no ethnic group in Africa knows unity like the Igbos, but right now what the Igbos use is defence mechanism to avoid what happened in the 60s to repeat itself. It is important to note that their new found unity is as a result of collective antagonism of Ndigbo. For the northerner to put his relative in a political position is not for the sake of love but to make sure that space doesn't go to the Igbos, go see a northern private establishment and you'll realize that most people in sensitive positions are igbos and yorubas because if things goes awry he will feel the heat direct but the case of national appointment is just there for nothing sake that is why naija is not moving forward. Once Ndigbo leaves Nigeria you'll see their real "love". The colonialists said that they met 13 warring emirs in the North and walked uninterruptedly to the sultan because of their disunity 4 Likes |

Seerade029:Unless you want to share your new country with more than 100 fulani settlements. If you have been to Ilorin and Kwara you will know this, and based on international law you can't displace a group of people that have continously stayed in one particular location for more than a century. Besides I don't think the citizens of ilorin will fancy being lumped in the new Oduduwa Republic 2 Likes |

Bkayyy: I just left kwara start not quite long. I know ilorin very well. Coming from Osun state from the south - we have yoruba towns like, Offa, Ijagbo, Ajase, Erin Ile etc. Coming from Ekiti from the East - We have yoruba towns like, Isin, ekiti kwara, omu aran, oro etc Coming from Oyo state from the west - We have Yoruba towns like Galilee, Ogbomosho etc Coming from Niger state from the North - we have yoruba towns like jebba. While ilorin is in the centre of North (Niger), West (Oyo), East (Ekiti), South (Osun) , pls tell me how we will leave ilorin? Or will ilorin stand alone as a nation? If you've been to kwara you'll know it's impossible to leave ilorin, except we leave the whole Kwara state. 2 Likes |

Seerade029:I won't argue with you on the yoruba towns you'll meet before Ilorin. Infact those towns are more yoruba than most of the yoruba towns I've met but the Ilorin own is quite different and peculiar based on the influx and establishment of the fulanis who are permanent residents of that place 2 Likes |

Elvictor: You're being more utopian than realistic. I can assure you or even bet with 2 million naira that Niger Delta republic will never be made up with all the 6 SS states, such a country will automatically descend into chaos and anarchy because existing fault lines will develop into earthquakes. The only stable areas/zones are the Akwa-Cross that will most likely go their own way, Delta North/Anioma that will most likely join their Igbo brothers and Edo that would hope to lure Anioma and other parts of Delta State into forming Bendel republic with them since they wouldn't want to join Oduduwa that will dominate them completely. Only Bayelsa and Rivers (minus the Asa/Oyigbo areas) and maybe Delta State (minus Anioma areas) will form the real Niger Delta rep. Again, the Ikwerre would be scared to go with them considering how the Ijaws treated them in old Rivers State which is likely going to happen again in Niger Delta rep which would be more or less old Rivers State. However, the Ikwerres would still end up with the Ijaws since they would be too minute to stand as a country. That's the reality, and if you remove emotions and wishful thinking, that's how post Nigeria would be. 10 Likes |

Bkayyy: Yes I understand, but if ilorin is at the border of kwara state to the north. It would have been a very possible mission. But ilorin dey center. And we can't leave those Yoruba towns after ilorin that refuses to be under Emirates. The only solution is either leave kwara state completely Or We take only Kwara south and part of kwara central to be part of Oduduwa. Then we will leave ilorin with kwara north (nupe areas) + those Yoruba towns after ilorin to the north. Kogi west is easier to get, it borders Ekiti. 1 Like |

horsepower102:ok.. bye.bye. I know that inside this same Biafra , descrimnation against the lesser tribe will start .. The Anambra man will feel too superior to be governed by someone from Enugu .. Then people from Ebonyi state will be a no no becos they don't have any regard for them. As for the Osu victims, those ones will just hide in the shadow of their society who should not be heard. They will start fighting among themselves due to their stupid ego and boastful personality .. Nnamdi Kanu on the other hand will your Demi god, who must give a nod before anything is done and this will not sit well with the Igbos who are not known to take orders. You think the Yourubas and we SS are your problems? Your problem is you guys.Majority of your kins men have succeeded in spoiling the reputation of this country, due to their endless greed for wealth, so as to boast among their vain friends & community that they have arrived and eligible for a chieftaincy title.. which your chief will stupidly give out becos of these unexplained wealth . Is this not the reason why many of your brothers are ready to die to get rich by all means, either by hook or by crook? You guys should go, you won't be missed at all. Beside, you are not united and easily devided due to envy and jealousy among yourselves It will be much easier for the Yorubas and Hausas to rule themselves peacefully than for the Igbos . 7 Likes 1 Share |

Seerade029: You're comparing apples with oranges. Illorin and the surrounding areas may be ethnically Yoruba but they've historically belonged to Northern Nigeria. There are Yorubas in Benin republic so there is no law that says all Yorubas must join Oduduwa republic. On the other hand, Nnewi, Awka and Anambra have always belonged to Eastern Nigeria and even prior to the creation of the regions. Trying to force Illorin into Oduduwa could lead to war with Arewa because they would resist it and I know you people always dread such possibility ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

Proeast2: Guy stop reasoning with your emotions you didn't get what I'm saying. Ilorin is the only town with emirate, and it's being surrounded with yoruba towns that has Oba and refused to bow down to emirates. How will you Join ilorin (in center) to the north without causing war? I used Anambra as example. Nnewi and awka are in the center of Anambra. Is it possible to carve Nnewi only to Asaba ![]() It's not possible. But Onitsha and Asaba can be carved to form a state since they are both at the border. In the case of ilorin, ilorin is not at the border but in a center surrounded by Yoruba towns. 4 Likes |

The SS will break into multiple countries and the edos and itshekeris and urohobo will pitch tent with Yorubas.

Seerade029: Lol, are you sure you're not the one reasoning emotionally instead of rationally? Both Illorin and the surrounding areas i.e. present day Kwara will go to the North, this would be based on its historical affiliations. I gave you an example with Benin republic, ethnicity is not enough for in allocating regions/zones to where they would belong, otherwise Yorubas in Benin would have been in Nigeria! I'm not saying you people can't contest it, but what I'm saying is that it could lead to war between you guys and Arewa, and they would fight like wounded lions because of their anger at Nigeria's breakup. 3 Likes |

Yes we have differences and we accept them an Anambra man will not go to ebonyi and contest election and vice versa. We accept each other differences that is how ww have been able to live peacefully together. worry about the SW who will be the main ruler is it the alafin or the ooni will the ijesha and the ijebus and other Yoruba become one or should I remind you of the kijiri war. the only that Igbos are lacking in terms of unity somehow is in politics ONLY 3 Likes |
