Lol

I don't have the power to decide who is igbo and who is not. But I can very well differentiate between an igbo and a non igbo. In fact, every igbo can do that. It's just that non igbos like you cannot understand. It's like an inward knowing that we have. We know who has collected bribe, and who has not. So please, don't teach me what you don't know about my tribe.

Send me pm let me educate you properly and take you out of ignorance,we can start by you giving me your facebook ID and I will send you friendship request that will cure your ignorance,from events in my FB page you will know where I come from.
Talking about bribe, your leader call off election boycutt 12 hours to election day because of what? grin.

Think deeply, don't allow anyone mess with your mind by sugarcoating Biafra. I wish I could really take out my time to converse with you.

You won't hear them talk about flaws, you'd only hear them talk about unimaginable possibilities of Biafra becoming better than world top countries.

Go over to Douglas and see how you'd get scammed by our own brothers in just the slightest second. The same igbo politicians that are corrupt, damn.

Imagine corruption in a country of over 3 million people, we'd be ruined. Don't let them lie to you.


Flaws? Wow! Tell me ,is it not better to stay in biafra with those "flaws" ,than to continue eating shit in your country? Is it not better to face flaws in our father land, than to be at the receiving end of every thing bad in your country? And then every one blinds their eyes and pretends that we are "one Nigeria "? You people speak as if nigerians that we know and the cabals we know will change when we eventually restructure and Nigeria will be one again. And then there will be justice and fairness in Nigeria? And then marginalization will fizzle away like the air. You are only deceiving yourself.

The "scam " you see in Douglas, can be seen in all markets of the world. I have never heard of any country that is scam free. Using all these useless propaganda will not help. Stay in your lane and leave biafra alone.

It's quite clear that this ongoing End SARS protest has led many into fighting for an end to Nigeria. The Western geopolitical zone wants Oduduwa republic while the Easterners want Biafra, it's quite clear now, that the Southerners are also agitating for Niger Delta Republic.

I'm a full blooded Igbo man, and I want my igbo brothers to realize we have to fight for restructuring rather than Biafra. It's quite obvious how it takes a long time before some important projects within the Eastern region are been approved by the executive body, if we restructure Nigeria, our Governors would be responsible for the full growth and development of our states without much interference from the executive body.

Do you realize that innoson's vehicles are being patronized by both the Northerners and westerners? Do you also realize that Slot is owned by an Igbo brother? If we fought for Biafra's independence, do you actually think these prominent brands would exist peacefully in Nigeria, I don't think so.

You as an Igbo man can start up a brand, if you are creative enough you'd probably sell to over 20million Nigerians and not get discriminated as a foreigner. Look closely at these Chinese brands that sells to Nigerians, do you know how many Nigerians use Tecno phones. What if you as a Nigerian were to invest into Technology, and you could get over 40 million Nigerians to patronize your brand, how beneficial would that be? Don't say you could do that too as a Biafran, there would be a whole lot of discrimination.

The Chinese keeps lending our politicans massive funds, do you know why? Nigeria is actually their biggest market. If Nigeria decides to shut down goods being imported from China, there would be a reduction in their country's financial capacity. They borrow Nigerians enough funds so they could hold us down.

If we restructure Nigeria, we would be able to approve valuable projects within the Eastern regions with ease and still sell to a good number of Nigerians, without facing any further dictatorship from the northern President. We do not have to beg them to approve valuable projects in the Eastern regions.

I've heard of notions like, "we can never be one". Do you think African Americans connect well with the Whites in America perfectly? In a country with cultural and racial differences, there would obviously be different opinions, that's exactly why we need to restructure the country.

And lastly Biafra would become a nation with just 5 states, because it's already obvious that the Southerners are agitating for Niger Delta Republic, if you doubt me, go on Facebook and check for yourself. What exactly could we use 5 states for? Be wise.

China has over a trillion population, USA has over 300 million population, while Nigeria has over 200 million population. The Chinese population helps them sell their brands better. So many apps like Facebook, Twitter and many more are been banned in China, they sell themselves because of their population.

Mark tried to create a Chinese version of Facebook so he could sell to China but the Chinese government refused. If only Mark sells to China he'd be extremely rich.

Population gives you power. Nairaland is the biggest forum in Africa because of our population, Linda ikeji's blog makes massive funds because of our population. Our entertainment industry is still the biggest in Africa because we sell ourselves without the aid of other Africans. We need our population.

Let's Restructure Nigeria.

this has always been my point.
Restructuring is very important to our nation. It will usher in a new age about a country Nigeria

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.

why should I go to Rwanda when I can create my own Rwanda right here in my fatherland?

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.

Sorry bro but Nigeria can never be restructured, not now or ever. The core North are totally against restructuring and they have the largest representatives in the national assembly, which is the only place Nigeria can be restructured.


Some people dont realise that this has all be done before. Ojukwu went to Aburi in 1967 to restructure with Gowon. The agreed and signed and shook hands. When Gowon returned to Nigeria, he realised that the agreement he signed did not favour him and his fellow Northerners. So he reneged on that agreement, which made Ojukwu declare Biafra


The narrative has not changed even today. The North does not want restructuring so if you want, you have to to do what Ojukwu did over 50 years ago and go for Biafra(This time with taking up arms)


But as long as you are with the North in 'one Nigeria', you better forget restructuring because they will never allow it.
The main problem of this country are the Yorubas aswear , how can the north hold everyone to Ransom and declare that it's their wish that should always be done.

If Yoruba people decide to defy the Northern oligarchy then restructuring or breakup will be possible.

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?

You have strong points because it's true that Large landmass + huge population are parts of what can make a country a great country.

I used to be a Biafran activist until in realized if I'm smart enough and have enough funds I could be a billionaire in Nigeria.

Buhari placed a ban on foreign rice, this has increased the level of local rice manufacturers. Yeah, Local rice is still quite expensive because there isn't enough competition within that market lately.

There is more demand and less supply actually, if more investors can go into local rice production then there would be more competition, and there would be lesser demand for a certain brand and more supply, which would lead to the fall in price.

Do you know how that would create jobs for Nigerians? And Nigeria can become the biggest rice exporters too. But Nigerians are still complaining.

In the north egg is as cheap as N30 because most of them are into livestock rearing. The last time I was in Owerri, bananas are as expensive as 1200. How many igbos would consider going into agricultural? These are actually untapped investment plans. If the northern stops producing agricultural goods then we'd eventually go into recession.


Most of you would never invest into agricultural or livestock, you all just spend money acquiring liabilities and expect the country to just get better.

Do you know the biggest foreign rice smugglers then were the igbos. The high level of importation in which is still killing our economy is still coming from the igbos. There used to be textile firms in 1997, but now we keep buying solely Chinese made textile. For our economy to grow the people need to get smarter too.

America utilizes their population right. If Nigerians can start acting right we'd be competing with a country like China. We do not have to plead to other countries to import our goods, you can succeed selling to only Nigerians.

The higher the number of agricultural investors in Nigeria the cheaper food would turn out to be, and we'd tend to export more. Igbos won't do that in Biafra, they would rather import trash into the country and call it American or Chinese made goods.

I remember, trying to buy a shoe in Owerri, the seller told me it was made in America so it's worth 25k. What's wrong with Aba made shoes? Aba needs massive investors. So they could sell to the whole of Nigeria and still export, but we'd rather by foreign made shoes.

Nigeria has a lot of potential, let's grow ourselves.

The people and the government are both failing the country.
