She must be high on cheap drugs...

Paperworka:
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.

God will arrest all our Enemies, Isee

religion is part of ones personal life bro. The fact that someone is Igbo does not mean he should be a Christian. Pls respect people's choices.

ada9ja:
then who votes in south east when is election time? The politicians abi?

And you think that votes in Nigeria count. If they do, Hope Uzodinma will not even be a local government chairman talk more of a governor. He claimed his votes were excluded and supreme court agreed with him, so who voted for him, imolites?

Dreambeat:
And who told her that most Igbos would choose presidency over Biafra? It is only the politicians that want presidency, the average Igbo man wants Biafra

You completely missed her point. You must learn to crawl first before you learn to walk. You are not united, you dont know how to play politics m, you dont even know how to run a state yet you want to edtablish a country. Good luck with that

Ikinternational:
Biafra is a nice dream. Restructuring is a better reality

No sane igbo is hung up on Biafra.


Kanu would've been better running for office and working for Restructuring from the inside.

Gbam.


Restructuring is the better reality.

We should focuse more on that.

Though the "NICE DREAM" should not be totally erased.

vanunu:
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.

How will you know, when you lack comprehension skills.

chatinent:
It is not about Biafra.



Man's government cannot solve man's greatest problems.



Only one government can: God's kingdom.

You're right but let's organise ourselves while we wait for God's Kingdom, after all God created Government too.

Yup. Everybody, forward march to God's kingdom! Forget anything that is paining you now or all the troubles you see around you. No need to do anything. Because God's kingdom.

As for me the Igbos don't understand politics at all

In as much as I love this lady, I believe she's been clout chasing lately

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.

Your comment reeks of hatred. Pass across your message without being tribalistic.
This is 2021.

I did not miss her point. My point is if Igbos are not united as she claimed, it is because the average Igbo man who should pressure these politicians to do the right thing are even no more interested in the Nigerian state. The politicians are not united not Igbos

I side with her on this one: Igbo people are not united. Forget the rantings on Nairaland.

Omoslim26:


Most of you will just talk and talk and talk and in the end make zero sense

she doesn't like igbo and yet she adopted chimanda

her opinion is heard loud and clear even if everyt sane mind knows all she outlined happens in every tribe in the Country no

shun bigotry it's killing every ounce of intelligence your brain should be producing

dis is the main reason I don't engage in cheap bigotry it makes one sounds off and nefarious

I'm igbo and I'm forced to agree with what Chimamanda highlighted about the igbo nation

Ngozi why na?

What do you expect, where you have the likes of OKOROCHA, HOPE UZODINMA, UMAHI, ORJI UZO KALU, ANYIM PIUS ANYIM, AKPABIO and the likes, all want to be president at the same time, instead of my brother to get there, we will scatter everything let Hausa or Yaruba man take it, it is better. That is their mentality. Only likes of Nmandi Kalu, Peter Obi, Runi Omokri is different, but nobody will allow them to get there.

Thinkherbell:
She's is right. Igbos are not united. They're selfish and greedy.

Before you come here to spill trash, I'm igbo too.

Everybody now claims to be an IGBO person, there must be something special about Igbo people that make chimpanzee and Baboons want to associate with the Great Igbos

VERY TRUE! And vrry annoying from Lagos to East MY IGBO BRODAS ARE typical FOOLS,behaving lik caused ppl since 1966 death of Aguiyi Ironsi! No concesus no coordination no compromise for self. And THEY CARRY THis FOOLLISH slogan "IGBO EWERO EZE! to confuse their generations.Yet thetyhalla biafra!!!
What misguiding and USELESS TRIBESMEN! MISGUIDED AND SELLIN THEIR BIRTHRIGHTS FOR MONEY. Am ashamed of you pppl.
NDI NZUZU! Ndi Ala!

Chimanda or whatever u call yourself, are nothing but an educated idiot, how do some of misguided elements like yourself still find strength in blaming igboman for his woes in politics.

Hmm . . . not necessary. All Omoluabis should be graceful in speech and conduct, both to our friends, and those that think we are their enemies.

You are a clown. First and foremost, what is your business with Igbos and their quest for Biafra. In your warped mind, you think that politicians, who are benefiting from the dysfunctional system will now support Biafra that may end up taking away their source of illegal wealth. Once more, you are a clown. Go and read about revolutions all over the world and tell me how they started. Small children all over this forum.

It's hard to get the big picture when you have such a miserable small screen. You're honestly even dumber than I thought initially. How can people be so stupid like this without realising it ?!

A typical cretin; all brawn and no brain ! Why am I even dignifying a featherheaded slowpoke like you with my response ?

Even if they unite,they won't smell the presidency..
Shey na all us dey this country..

I'm igbo and I'm forced to agree with what Chimamanda highlighted about the igbo nation

Your opinion though

where I am from the powers of the umuada and their roles in ensuring women are respected to the core is very laudable and visibly enshrined in the minds of everyone you don't joke with them

I don't understand. yet Anambra parades the largest numbers of female senators and rep members.

The people (Igbos) are still truly Republicans. No one is led by the nose the way Rams and goats are led. Even the accumulation of filthy wealth may not quarantee your influence over this people. Their agreements are majorly from critical assessment of presented facts and that is why they move like unstoppable trains upon their convictions. Whether this is good or bad is dependent on your perspective.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:





"but this idea that the answer is independence is what i'm not convinced of. Nobody has made a logical case for me. Quite frankly i've observed the terrible leadership we have in the SouthEast"...she said!



Not just about unity of the SE.
I mean if we are saying that Nigeria is not working, is a failed State.
Do we have the best of leadership and governance in the SE?

Security votes , constituency allowances...are they really empowering the people?

I concur with Chimamanda. She's right.

The terrible leadership in the SE is the more reason why we should seek to free ourselves from the present day Nigeria because we as Igbos can't hold those leaders to account, when we do Abuja comes to their aid. Look at what happened in Imo state as an example

There is nothing big about Nigeria...India has more than 2 times our tribes...
The key thing is that there is a structure that brings about fair contributions and representation.thay what Nigeria is lacking... Nigeria is not so big in any way for a single central government to manage..let that central government have a mosaic with different tribes...that the key thing...it had a manageable one in previous administration before buhari came..so what can u say about previous government..that dey didn't manage it well....

Restructuring is the answer and more likely than division..that restructuring begins with putting an igbo man in that number seat ..
Am Igbo too and trust me am also in support of Biafra but..at this point.. restructuring is more visible and realistic... division isn't gonna build a wall between the regions..
This is 2020 there are better ways of handling diplomatic issues

Charmingrascal:
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.

Ojiofor:
Igbos miscreants are saboteurs of Igbo presidency project.

Brother, it didn't start today. Tomorrow (after boycotting elections), those miscreants will still be the ones to cry out that they've been marginalized.

My SouthEastern brothers are really poor in politics. Very very poor.
