Seerade029: Nigeria's breakup is most likely going to result in more than 4 countries. Even the North is not going to have just one country because the middle beltans would rather die than be stuck with Hausa/Fulani 6 Likes |

Proeast2: Arewa has never defeated Yorubas during war. They were able to take ilorin because ibadans were fighting 4 wars at the same time. If you're talking about historical afflictions then you don't know anything about Yorubas. BTW, nothing like historical afflictions in allocating zones. Cos it didn't happen in Port Harcourt or Asaba. 5 Likes |

muykem:when the world is going green you are planning to start a country with oil and you think you are not mad? The amount of informal trade that goes on in Onitsha and aba if they are recorded and taxed will bring in immerse wealth. Wait do nigerians know that oil only constitute 10% of our GDP the reason that Nigeria is an oil based economy is because that is all we export. imagine how the SE will look like if all the Igbos move all their factories and industries their all the Igbos will still be exporting things made to other neighbouring countries like akwa-cross odudwa ijaw republic Ghana and other countries and it will increase our FX ( you should understand the term I'm using if your familiar with economics) 7 Likes |

Another decisive issue no one is looking at, which would also play a pivotal role is the issue of offshore oil resources. No one is even looking at this but this is going to have VERY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. Nigeria has an extended coastline which is based on our current landmass but once we break up, the Bight of Bonny i.e. the Atlantic ocean South of Nigeria will be renegotiated with Equitorial Guinea and possibly Cameroun too. Even strategic oil assets like the Bonga deep offshore could be threatened. Once we breakup, the ocean areas that are considered ours will be reduced and shared between us and Equitorial Guinea, it becomes worse if Biafra/Igboland stands apart from Niger Delta rep, because they will end up losing vast ocean areas to Equitorial Guinea! In essence, the Niger Delta republic even needs Igbos more than Igbos need them. Same applies to Akwa-Cross as well to an extent. 5 Likes |

Sinzumoney: In addition to the ones you mentioned, many people do not know that remmitances alone gives Nigeria almost same amount of forex as crude oil and there are some prosperous countries that rely on remmitances to run their economy. Now, we know the people that constitute the bulk of the remittances coming to Nigeria and where they would go once the country breaks up. Nigeria is currently among the first 10 countries with highest recipients of remmitances, just behind the likes of India, China, and Philippines! We have enough oil resources in Igboland that would serve our local economy and help to keep our balance of payments in green. 7 Likes |

horsepower102: No don't get me wrong, it's non of our business but I'm saying this based on those that claim we are attaching ourselves to them. If anyone needs the other, it is definitely not us. With us, they will have an extended coast but without us, it will be greatly reduced and they may end up losing vast offshore oil wells and infrastructure, possibly including the Bonga platform. They offer us little or no advantage whatsoever while they will obviously lose substantially without us. This is for the record, and not for any advocacy for attachment. 3 Likes |

Food for thought! imagine in my own community, how people envy others. I can recall, during Obasanjo regime, how many igbo senate presidents there were. Everybody wants it for himself. I think biafra may need a mixture of maybe akwaibom or cross river, or both to strike a check and balance. All igbo biafra may have supremacy problems. the said biafra should be devoid of rivers and bayelsa and to some extent delta. Those may constitute serious problems. Lets hope Nigeria moves forward. omoharry: 1 Like |

Proeast2: I want Republic of Igbo land which will comprise all places of Igbo land. Igbo land stretches from 5 Southeastern States to Edo, Kogi, Benue, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Bayelsa State. Igbo land is not negotiable. If peaceful agreement could not be reached, then war is inevitable. By the way, the nation of Igbo land must have buffer zones too. 4 Likes |

By the way, until Nigerians break up, u will know that regions is not our problem but governance. we should vent our annoyance on L.G.A and state govt, if they didn't do anything, the FG effort won't be seen, take a look at Lagos, Kano, Portharcourt, Akwaibom which is in same country are progressing far better than other states.

DerideGull: It is up to them, we are too big to start bothering ourselves or even begging people to identify with us. It is those that show commitment and wear their Igbo tag like a batch of honor that we will fight for, an example is the Asa people of Rivers State. This is common sense, you join your larger part and become significant or isolate yourself and become insignificant. Anaghi ahapu ebe ana echi eze, gawa ebe ana aru agwu. 7 Likes |

Miracle2020: It is all about purchasing power. Believe me, if you're well to do and earning well, you will hardly bother about little differences in price. It may interest you to know that more people are starving in that same North where food is cheaper than in the East. So it still boils down to purchasing power and standard of living. 5 Likes |

dukeprince50: Lol, Nigeria is the number one problem whether you accept it or not. Here in Imo State for example, we voted for someone we believe will perform, in the person of Ihedioha but your Nigeria removed him and replaced him with another person and we are suffering it. Such thing can't happen in a country where our destiny will be in our hands. Do you know how much is being wasted in the name of fighting insurgency? What about lives and properties that are being wasted by fulani herdsmen? Do you think that someone like Ikpeazu will thrive in Biafra when 95% of Igbos hate him? What about the menace of SARS, do you think such problem would exist in Biafran or Oduduwa when the majority of people are against it? Would our people waste time, money and resources traveling to Lagos or Abuja before they could board flights to other countries? Lots of evil thrive in Nigeria because one section/regions misfortune is seen like a blessing in another section/region, thus ensuring that we never pull in same direction for common good. So Nigeria is absolutely the problem! 8 Likes |

Proeast2:why are you confusing yourself? We told you that food is cheaper in the north than the south east you said no, now I told how much is 5 tubers of yam in the north,then you start talking about purchasing power. Let me tell you something, food is cheaper in North because majority of our local food are farm in the north. This is facts you can't deny. I know how many trailers of cow that are being transported on a daily basis from north to south. I know how many trucks that transport Irish potatoes and carrots from jos to south I know how many trucks that convey oranges from benue to the South on a daily basis. Onions,corn,rice, tomatoes etc are produced majorly in the north. I know you have never been to the north but pls ask any of your family members who ever stayed in the north. 2 Likes |

Sinzumoney: Ikwerre will NEVER want to be in the same nation with Ijaw. So you can discard this your dream. Ikwerres, Ogbas, Etches and other Igboid groups now will not want to be in a nation with the Ijaws, especially as Ijaws don't want to be with the greater Igbo nation. What makes you think these Igboids will wanna be with Ijaws. No way whatsoever. They will rather be with their fellow Igbo speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdkLJoj_SAk |

I still don't understand why buhari and his Northern brothers don't want to give these fools biafra. Give them their own country so that they can fvck off already. And, the biafra will consist of se states only, nothing like anioma. No part of delta or river state will join you fools. Very useless tribe. 1 Like |
