selemempe: What exactly do you plan on exporting? Most countries are limiting the level of imports they receive. You can't even force all igbos to buy locally made goods. Look at the land Mass in Biafra. It's actually very small. Livestock farming might be quite difficult for the igbos. We would probably start importing from the same northerners, you all claim to hate. Always consider the land Mass and the population before you all desperately create something that would ruin us all. Ghana's land Mass would even be bigger than Biafra's Land Mass. |

Ojiofor: If fighting for freedom, and the future of our generations unborn is what you call "chasing shadows ", then we will gladly chase it till we leave this shit hole of a country. You are not igbo, so you won't understand anything. The only thing you understand in this country is that useless phrase " Nigeria will be better ". Our past leaders together with that one that calls himself lord lugard have already made the mistake of agreeing to join us together as a country . It's up to this generation to break out of the useless union before our children will grow up and start blaming us too. As for people like you, I feel so sorry for you. You cannot see that Nigeria has no future now. You will only see it when someone will chase you out of your father's house, take your land, rape your sister and wife, and it will surprise you to see that they have the unshakable backing of the Federal govt of your beloved country Nigeria. Rational thinking indeed! 3 Likes |

ayzTIGER: What could Biafra population sum up to be then? Just 5 states. Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Anambra and Abia. Some of these states do not even have up to 500,000 population. Google it yourself and come back with proof. Most igbos have migrated, they are well settled in foreign countries. Biafra's population might turn out to be just 2million people. If you have something alternative, please come with proofs. |

Muna4real: Who is chasing you all out of your lands? If we restructure Nigeria. Every state would be able to protect their mass from foreign interference. If you believe the Northerners would steal your lands, which won't happen. Now it's your governor's responsiblity to protect his people. Every state would have their own security officials for different important purposes. The Yorubas already have security officials combating herdsmen. Every populous country have their flaws and massive benefits. |

James4bright:what does Rwanda have that makes them the second fastest growing economy in Africa. Their landmass is smaller than SE and their population of 17 million is similar to the actual population of Igbos (forget oluwole statistics) The amount of land we need to be the largest food producer in Africa is about the total area of Anambra state which is the smallest area. It's not about landmass but productivity. The north only use about 15% of the land for agriculture. Netherlands produces more food than Nigeria...yet they are smaller than SE 3 Likes 3 Shares |

SUFFERInSMILIIN: South Africa has over 60 million people with a very big land mass, even bigger than Nigeria's land mass. Is it in this small Biafran lands you all want to produce cars? Lmaooo We don't even have enough lands for farming and and building prominent infrastructures, you are here talking of producing cars. If all igbos were to go back to Igbo lands, only then you'd understand. There would be land scarcity. Lol |

James4bright: First of all, you are not igbo. You can only lie about your tribe to a non igbo. Nndigbo know themselves, and we know that we believe in our selves and our independence. We believe we can do anything we set our hearts to do. There is no field of life we have not excelled in. So when I look at what you wrote about struggling like other small African countries, it confirmed to me that you are not igbo. In fact, it is an insult to compare us with "small African countries ". So please don't insult us again. You can insult your tribe, but not nndigbo. Secondly, so I've see many schools in different states of Nigeria were built by nndigbo. Kano state is not special. You only deceive yourself if you say we build schools in Kano because of their population. In fact you lie. Which population? Is it not Kano state again? When the number of students in IMO State is bigger than the ones in Kano plus four northern states? Are you in Nigeria at all? Why should we prefer to build schools in a place because of their population, when we know that so many children of school age don't go to school? 4 Likes |

selemempe: Hahahaha. Average Northerners are actually farmers. Don't come up here with inaccurate statistics. Every northern states are big producers of Agricultural goods. The land mass in the north is quite massive, very very large actually. Just Borno is bigger than the whole of Biafra. There is no way Biafra would be able to compete with the North in agricultural production. And don't come here saying, it isn't about land mass, you are wrong, those very little things you don't consider are what makes a country great. Rwanda has over 12 million people, yes. Biafra's population won't even near that. Secondly, have you been to Owerri? You would probably see nice infrastructures but you still can't get a good job. Don't allow small countries beauty deceive you. How many Rwanda's richest are on Forbes list competing with Nigerians? None. Even little Rema can brag about being richer than a good number of people in Rwanda. Forget those little infrastructures you see. If you can succeed as an entrepreneur in Nigeria, you might turn out to be African's richest. Smaller countries come with limited benefits. 1 Like |

Today Igbos in your delutional mind are,Nnamdi Kanu,Uche Mefor and the likes of you who wish to set Igboland on fire from abroad.E no go work. All the problems you mentioned above is Nigeria problem and not peculiar to Igboland alone. Nigerians will collectively rise up one day against Fulani herdsmen menace when they become tired of their terror just like they are today protesting to #EndSars etc,,,Meanwhile before then, hold your elected leaders accountable for lack security in our society.

Muna4real: Do you own an innoson vehicle? Lol Innoson would crumble in Biafra. Just watch. 10% of igbos won't buy innoson vehicles, with a population of over 3million. They would prefer UK imported vehicles. You can't force people to buy what they don't feel satisfied by. Now exporting as an Africa small country is another ball game. Innoson can't compete with South African made vehicles. If innoson remains Nigerian, even if he can't export, several Nigerians would still buy for the love of growing their economy, it's already happening. Northern politicians buy innoson made vehicles. If 2 million Nigerians from different geopolitical zones can buy innoson made vehicles, isn't that a benefit? 1 Like |

Muna4real: They won't have enough money to sponsor terrorist when we finally restructure Nigeria, every state would control their resources without executive interference, and lastly ever heard of omotekun? That's a Yoruba security body, responsible for protecting their people from armed bandits. Do you remember Rivers State Governor, "Wike" trying to restrict the overflow of some northerners into the state? It's going to be a whole lot easier when we finally restructure Nigeria. If you don't want northerners in your states then block your borders. But it's not advisable. |

selemempe: Why don't you go and settle in Rwanda then? Your clueless ass would still flee back to Nigeria. Ask people who have been around. Why haven't you left for Rwanda then? Lol We don't have steady power supply like you say but we can still produce the richest Africans, doesn't that tell you something? If we restructure Nigeria, things would get a whole lot better. Do you know the developer who built WhatsApp, he is Ukrainian American. Do you know how many Canadians flee to America, I hope you know Justin Bieber is Canadian? And several other prominent American artiste too, why did they leave their developed country. Robert Kiyasoki is a Japanese American, why did he leave his developed Japan to come to America to become the best selling author? Robert Kiyasoki has sold to over a 100 million Americans, and he's still getting richer daily, now his books are all over the whole. Why didn't he get rich in Japan but rather he's a billionaire in America. Do you know how many billionaires America produces? Kylie Jenner became on of the younger billionaire in just few years? By selling just cosmetics to a good number of Americans, probably over 40 million Americans. America is the most populous English speaking country. America has Hollywood, Indians have bollywood and Nigeria has Nollywood. Why exactly is Canada accepting skilled immigrants? To grow their population uncle and increase their number of foreign investors. Canada has one of the biggest land mass with a low population density compared to America. If every average Nigerian can become a mad investor and fight against bad governance, you'd be proud of being Nigeria. Countries are fighting for bigger territories, you are fighting for Biafra of 3 million people. 1 Like |

Ojiofor: There is a difference between a non igbo who knows nothing about nndigbo but chooses to stick his nose in their affairs, telling them what is best for them and an igbo man who knows the truth but because of the crumbs and chicken change he receives from the government, decides to go against his own people. You fall in the first category. Those igbos fall in the second. The fact that they collect bribes from the government to say what they the government wants them to say does not mean that their opinion is the best. 3 Likes |
