AlexBells:These are the reasons: 1) The Fulani who inherited the skewed system which the Ibos created share the same desire as the Ibos (the subjugation of other ethnicities). 2) The Yoruba elites who are the major factor that can reverse the system back to what was agreed upon, are at the moment not up to the task because the Fulani has the backing of the English. 3) The Yoruba masses who should be a source of support to their elites so as to put an end to this cursed system, are currently under psychological attack from massive Ibo propaganda. The Ibos PRETEND to want out of Nigeria by their incessant cry of marginalization and fraud Biafra agitation. This psychological war strategy has made it difficult for the Yoruba masses to realise that Nigeria currently favours only the Igbos (economically) and Fulani (Politically). 12 Likes 1 Share |

GBTYO:I believe in the equality of all of mankind, I'm not a Maxist or any of Ziks school of thoughts, I'm not trying to rope the Niger Delta tribes into subdue so as to advance any Igbo supremacist agenda. I'm a firm believer in humanity and believes in the sanctity and value of every human live, I see the Niger Delta tribes as my neighbours and brothers, I respect their people and also their kingdom, I just want a sane society where every people and their heritage is protected and valued |

This is how foolish Igbos respond when they are challenged with the truth but let them be faced with you have little knowledge about happenings in those era n you see them acting like they were saint and not the main cause of all Nigeria problems. Yeye set of monkeys. Imagine this clown telling someone his hating on Igbos ? The same Igbos that nurtured the unborn offspring from the womb with irredeemable hate, chronic bigotry and excessive foolishness. AlexBells: 3 Likes |

Front0lane:Why are you now complaining about how Igbos are doing this and that in Lagos, you could have first looked at what I replied to, and why I made the assertion, how could Dangote be selling his Cement at #2500 in Nigeria but selling it at about #1100 in ghana, if competition is allowed for cement don't you think other manufacturers will be given a chance and a healthy competition is going to arise for the good of the people, is not government policy that had ensured Dangote monopoly, why would only Dangote and a few others be given access through Nigerian border while other are not, the day Nigeria get fixed many things are going to change from our industries to the banking and finance sector, other services sector too, Nigeria won't be bad forever |

GBTYO:I'm telling you that if I must speak for myself, Igbos don't need Biafra, My Very Good Ijaw friend by name Storm once told me, it is time for the Igbos to drop the victim card, Biafra was a victim card played by the Igbos and today I can tell you myself and a lot other young Igbos out there do not share the ideology of Biafra, Biafra had outlived its usefulness, We have to rise to the challenges of a new modern Nigeria. We are no longer the Victim but a very proud set of Igbos (what I call Igbo Renaissance) who believes a lot in Nigeria but more so we believe in the right and independence of every group, ethnic group or individuals, if Nigeria is going to ever break which I currently don't wish for, I prefer and want a Republic of Igboland 1 Like |

Alexbells if Igboland is so self sustaining why is it so difficult for you Igbos to talk of a separate nation without the ND? I will let you know that the east is as parasitic as the north . Your states are barely functioning despite the huge allocations received from the Federal purse despite adding next to nothing to it. Ebonyi State has borrowed so much money from Sukok banks in lieu of Oil receipts from the Niger Delta that it can be considered to be now owned by these Sharia banks. The only way Ebonyi can repay that loan is through federal allocation which the FG is serving as guarrantor Same thing with failed states like Osun which are owned by the banks Buhari is approving loans for both eastern and western states so as to make them bonded fully in the Nigerian project. SW and SE dare not leave Nigeria since there is no way to pay their huge loans. It is through this financial baiting that the north is using to guareantree your allegiance to one Nigeria. Every other thing nah wash. And as I said earlier in another thread, Igbos will align with the fulani to stop the seccesion of Niger Delta from Nigeria You did it before in 1966 and so we expect nothing less from you. 9 Likes 1 Share |

GBTYO: Decree No 34 was never controversial except for people in the same level of intellectualism as you. Decree No 34 established a sense of uniform in public service and a categorized levels for civil servants. It is ironic that the categorized civil servant system established by Decree No 34 is being used in Nigeria till this date. The Decree No 34 snatched away the nepotistic template used by the native authorities to fill the public service with their cronies especially in northern and western regions. The opposition for Decree No 34 stemmed from fear and hatred the people from certain parts of Nigeria had for the Ndigbo. They foolishly theorized it was a mean which Ndigbo baked to dominate Nigeria. Decree No 34 has nothing to do with silly theory of unitary government but merely unification of public service. 2 Likes |

AdekunleScience:Thanks for your advice, I would also wish to point out you that Igboland does not share any common boundary with Yoruba land, as such the Issue of within the Niger Delta will be settled as one between neighbours and you of all people knows that Igbos was forced to pick Biafra and Igbos will be the last people to really wish for an end to Nigeria, why do we keep going back to the North if we don't believe in Nigeria or even buying land in far away Lagos if we dont believe in Nigeria. If tomorrow the unfurnate happens and Nigeria breaks, we are going to declare an Igbo republic without any tribe in the Niger Delta but we will also not recognise a Niger Delta republic as we will support for the break down of Niger Delta into smaller kingdom states, any tribe that wish to willingly join Igboland will be free or be our territory, for the very really smaller ones who would prefer a stronger passport, international recognition and believes in the Igbo, that's what could happen if Nigeria stops existing but we don't ever pray for that 1 Like |

GBTYO: The bold clarified you as a typical Nigerian. They fly funny certificates yet they cannot decipher elementary geography. The silly ND in post, I hoped remotely meant Niger Delta, has Igbo land is integral part of it. I personally canvased and will continue to seek the Republic of Igbo land. Many idiots in Nigeria always think of crude oil as if it starts and ends the world. There are super economies in the world without a pint of crude oil. In 10 years time, Nigeria and its crude oil shall be rendered irrelevant. The northern elites are on the verge of completing a strategic plan where crude oil shall be siphoned to Niger Republic from Nigeria for storage which caution the economic blow from the change to electricity as readily source of power instead of fossil fuel.

Dedetwo: Shatap The military governors did not have or excersice powers up to their civilian counterparts The real power was now firmly under Ironsi as Supreme Military Council chairman. This was a supreme military dictatorshio under Igbos. Ironsi defended his decree by stating it was the only way to keep Nigeria one and united. Can you explain what led to Adaka Boro's movement to leave Nigeria entirely ? Can you explain why Zik forced Chief Eyo Ita to resign as Speaker of the eastern Parliament and from there have his Igbo majority declare him speaker ? The Igbos wanted full control of eastern Parliament so as to prevent a motion by the minorities for a new separate province. Now contrast with how the Yorubas respected themselves and allowed Mid West region to be created out of the western region. You Igbos can continue lying to yourselves . 10 Likes |
