she is right because envy is too much in Igbo land, everyone is competing on who will make it bigger, some team up with their enemies not minding the consequences, some go as far as converting to Islam in order to get favor from Fulani, sabotage everywhere. An example are the Eastern governors who has gone as far as serving the caliphates in order to gain political presence, imaging going as far as sokoto to bow to the caliphate before you can be recognized as a governor in your own state ohh! The Good news is that God has sent a savior called MNK even though almost all political elites in southeast are fighting him so as to impress the Caliphate because they are gunning for an Igbo presidency.

The first female civilian governor is from Anambra. Even Buhari contested against Umaru Yaradua a fellow Fulani man. It is not every northerner that supports one Nigeria, some are for a total Islamic state. so I don't know what this woman is talking about. 72 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol Adichie trying to be diplomatic and let Igbos and their fragile egos down lightly. She should just come out and say she regrets being Igbo and an Igbo woman specifically because we know how scathing and mercilessly critical she would be, placard and all, if a Yoruba woman , in Yorubaland, went through what her and her mother went through at her father's funeral. This is another Igbo who will certainly never ever live in SE Nigeria but does not want to risk upsetting Igbo coming out to say their ways is repressive, unfair, shameful and disgustly misogynistic. IPOBian, one of your most distinguished female has spoken. Hope you can all see you have work to do and are far behind the civilised , sophisticated and effortlessly suave Yorubas you're always trying to square up to. Go and fix your broken homes, States and region instead of obsessing over others. I am sure that is the message Adichie would love to pass but can never knowing you intolerant babies would likely banish her family from ala Igbo. Lol. 91 Likes 18 Shares |

gidgiddy: Did you go to school? If yes did you sleep through all lessons? If not, what is confusing in Adichie's opinion which is that Igbos are confused and not united over what they want and thus likely to fail? What she writes below is clear enough for even a child of 6 to understand. You guys are just too egotistical, belligerent and vainglorious to ever accept correction over your redundant ways and mindset. "Igbo people cannot unite if, for example, we say we want an Igbo president. And then we’re talking about Biafra. There is a lot of political work we need to do in the southeast. 43 Likes 5 Shares |

yanabasee: Where is Tinubu mentioned here and what concerns him with words meant to make Igbos do some introspection and soul-searching? Go and deal with the issues one of your foremost and most revered Igbos has raised and leave Tinubu off your tongue for once.

OneTemplate: Stop talking nonsense. She said that Igbos are not united enough about the Presidency of Nigeria to be talking about Biafra. The question then is, must you be united about about the Presidency of the country you belong to before you agitate for your independence? Should Scotland have been united about producing the Prime minister of the United kingdom before seeking and getting their 2014 independence referendum? Should Eriterians have been united about seeking the Presidency of Ethiopia before they agitated about having their independence from Ethiopia? If Adichie is saying that Igbos are not united enough amongsts themselves to talk or go for Biafra, then there is no point to Nigeria because Nigerians are not united about anything, but still have Nigeria 80 Likes 7 Shares |

No tribe or region in Nigeria is completely in unison, as long as there are different intellectuals and individuals there will always be diverse of thoughts. "Igbo can't do this, Igbos can't do that" is just another way of causing unnecessary digression Everybody must not support a cause, sometimes it is not the quantity of those who are for a cause that matters it is the quality, the weight, the strength, the zeal and passion. I am Yoruba but I can tell you that Biafra can be achieved if the zeal and passion to achieve it is strong. Even though on several occasions I have disagreed and openly condemned Kanu's way of agitating I think Kanu has the interest of Igbos at heart more than some of these so called Igbo elites, intellectuals and politicians. In what way has Chimanda supported the Biafra or Igbo Presidency agenda? Ka ye pa iro fun ara wa. Ko si nkan nkan to wu ni lori lati je omo orile ede yi. How many Yorubas supported Obasanjo's Presidency? He still won because sometimes it is not about the quantity but the quality. Nigeria is too big to have a central government, we need to restructure or break up. The discourse now should not be whether Igbos are United or not, it should rather be how can she contribute her own quota in helping the Igbos achieve what they want. 60 Likes 1 Share |
