What's the bitter truth..? You will never get it.. will you?
China is trying to force Taiwan back into the fold after capturing Hong-Kong and Macau. The same China is readying for a confrontation at the south China Sea. China is holding tight to Tibet and minority enclaves near India borders.. All these areas resent mainland China more than the minorities resent igbos
Russia went to war and decimated the insurrectionists at Chechnya. Chechnya was almost 100% infavout of independence from Russia. Putin didnt say "Oh, they dont like us that much, so we should allow foreigners to take over and dictate policies there in Chechnya'.. Russia went to war and cornered Cremea. Same Russia has now lost thousands of men fighting for portions of Ukraine for obvious geopolitical reasons.
The USA is talking up "The Gulf of America". .., wants to occupy Greenland and has basically surrounded her neighbours with pro America foreign policy thrusts. California, Texas them, New Mexico, at a point moat people in those areas would have voted to either be independent or Mexico, but the federal forces said no. What does that tell you?
Even in the south-east of today, many in Ebonyi are confused as to where they should lay their loyalty! So what should we do with them? Discard them too as we want to discard the Ibibios and Anangs? People we have lived with and married with for years before the coming of the white man.. All these while the fulani are still fervently stuck with their nebulous "Hausa/fulani" fake identity card?
Ethiopia went to battle few months back to force back a break away region into the fold.
South Sudan that has a lot of tribal groups that resent the dominant madingas are at war today to keep their territories safe.
And some of you close minded so called igbos are busy worrying yourselves about inanities. So what if the minorities complained? Are they not human beings? If they don't like the way things are run and want some autonomy, what's wrong with that? Are you going to replace British colonialism with igbo colonialism?
They want some autonomy? Give it to them but have them in the fold, since they are all so small that if they form independent states, they will easily be hyjacked by some outside forces who can use them as a launching pad to influence politics and life in say Biafra. There are many igbo haters there? Yes! But there are also many igbo lovers there. Just as the federal government empowered that hateful bunch amongst them, you should try and empower those who are pro east/Biafra.., then use them to achieve your political goals. It is that simple..
Can you reproduce the letter Zik wrote to Eyo Ita on this matter?
In that letter, Zik cast aspersions on Eyo Ita's entire tribe.
Publish that letter for clarity because what is written is written.
I in university how this matter almost led to a riot in our GST class.
You cannot gaslight us. We know where you are heading and we will not you.

Y'all are small thinkers..
So you want to build a nation where the constituents are there through the force of gun, you are looking up to the Chinese and Russians as example. You want Ndiigbo to become oppressors in the future, even while you hypocritically cry over Igbo oppression in Nigeria.
See, I have always known that IPOB is a cancer to Ndiigbo. You lots don't operate within Igbo principles, MNK even said he wasn't Igbo but Biafran. Your plans is to strip Ndiigbo of the core values that make us Igbo .
You all have terrorist mentality, you wish you have powers to unleash the terrorists in you, one can really see this with the way you lots handled the "sit at home" in the SE. You hate democracy even though you know the Igbo are by nature democratic and will never endorse suppression of ourselves or others.
Imagine, you even call your leader "Suplim Lida" , a term that is alien to the Igbo tenets as we don't recognise the idea of another human being supreme over us or others.
While rational Igbos want a true nation like those of Netherlands, , etc, where the constituents are ethnically homogenous and all willing participants, you cowards in IPOB are looking to impose non democratic regime on Ndiigbo where you get to rule everyone with iron fist without our democratic opinions, you also hope to annex Minorities into your delusional Biafra and treat them like Russia is doing to Chechnya or China is doing to Tibet. But meanwhile, you are powerless and don't have the powers to unleash this terrorist part of you yet, so you go about pretending they (minorities) are your brothers, you pretend you don't know of the resentment they habour for Ndiigbo, all that doesn't matter to you, you think you are wise, you will pretend they are your brothers and accept all sorts of insults from them towards the Igbo, you tend to use Ndiigbo as shield while you lure them into your autocratic Biafra that you already hope to run in an Un-,Igbo way, since you abhor Democratic principles.
But guess what? The joke is on you, the Minorities see you for what you are, and many Igbos have also started seeing you for what you are.
You have failed bro. You will have no Biafra. No such abomination is coming.
What will happen is Igbo republic and it will not be led by bunch of terrorists with a "Suplim Lida" mentality hoping to copy alien non Igbo subjugation principles from China and Russia.
Concerning the Midwest, please give Dennis Osadebay his credit
Zik did little towards achieving that
Osadebay did the real job
Osadebay couldn't achieve that Without Zik.
Zik got the North on board to effect calving out Midwest from the West.
The original plan was to just to extract Anioma and re it to Eastern region, that was Osadebay and Zik original plan.
But the Edo/Edoids led by the Bini made an irresistible offer to Anioma, an offer of union called Midwest where Anioma under Osadebay will be the premier, while Edo keeps the capital of the region.
Osadebay took the offer and Zik agreed as well.
Midwest couldn't happen without NCNC, Zik was NCNC leader and used the framework of NCNC alliance with NPC to bring the North into equation and made the creation of Midwest possibly.
The Oba of Bini played his own key role too
My own advise to my fellow Yorubas is that when Ibos are shouting, let them be and when they are tired, they will keep quiet. They love chestbeating.
Some years back, I was having a conversation with these two Ibo guys and all they were saying was that Biafra is coming, Nigeria will break up bla bla bla..... I calmed down and allowed them to finish talking and next thing I told them was that if this country should break up, no Ibo will be allowed to stay freely in the SW, that we Yorubas will tell them all to pack up and go back to where they came from, you need to see how these guys went quiet, they were shocked to hear me say that, and that was when I realized that all these gra gra about Biafra na scam, even if you tell to leave, next thing they will hold on to is tribalism. I understand that they want to feel that they matter too in this country, but the way they have been going about it, even from their past leaders is what is causing them issues with others. You can't achieve anything meaningful through negative emotions, by stiring up hatred in the mind of your ppl towards others. A wise person should know that he does not have the monopoly to hatred and violence, others can hate and be violent too.
The other day, we read on the FP about the guy from SE that wants to relocate here to SW, does that show a ppl who want to develop their region? The fools among them here are based in the SW and will be talking about going back to the east en mass to develop their region just as they have helped others to develop theirs, but the reality on ground is that, everyday, they keep moving to the SW en mass in search of a better life. I have come to realize that they say the opposite of what they mean, very unreliable ppl. Now for the guy that we read his story on the FP, give him some years now, when he starts living a better life here in th SW, he will now turn his ungrateful mouth, and start seeing everything bad in the system, when their presence here is putting a lot of pressure on the limited resources.

Yorubars should look for an independent Oduduwa Republic
You guys will sit in your dingy bedrooms and concort all sorts of nasty propaganda materials to drive your tribal drivels against the igbos.. You mentioned "the letter". Paste the Dan thing here let's read.. If Zik and Zikists have problems with one Eyo Ita and his movement, it has absolutely nothing to do with igbos and the minorities. You can't make that nebulous leap to accuse everybody of hating on the minorities when you are running so short on facts. Paste it here, let's deal with it.. As if Eyo Ita would have even gotten to be the Premier of the Eastern region without the NCNC and the much maligned igbos..
So the NCNC was an Igbo party? Was Eyo Ita not the head of govt business in the region?
Was it not after the 1951 elections when people cross-carpeted to make AG produce the Premier in the Western Region that Zik came to the East to snatch the Premiership because they were from the majority tribe?
Was Zik and NCNC not gunning for premiership in the West before the cross-carpeting incident?
The minorities were not well treated in your region that is why you will never garner from them.
I am not maligning any Igbos but you people should not gaslight us.

Funny coming from a Yariiba person, when all your commoners and elites have done since 2014 is demonize Igbos are spread Igbo hate, from Oba Lagos, to MC Oluomo, to Tinubu wife, to Onunagu, to KKF.
Your Igbo hate has been torrential and non stop,but somehow, you delusionally want Igbos to react to your hate with love, you must be joking. As a Yariiba man, look at the long vacuous post you made, yet you deliberately chose not to spell Igbo right.
There are Yariiba people in SE too, even in villages here. Lagos was developed using wealth from the whole Nigeria, so it's ridiculous you want to have it to yourselves while still staying attached to Nigeria.
Anyday you want Lagos to shrink to Porto Novo size in population and relevance, just declare your Oduduwa republic, let Lagos be limited to SW wealth, population and potential and see what happens.
Igbos are in Lagos because Yaribas have stayed glued to Nigeria to grow Nigeria,Igbos are in the North too and the rest of the world.
Your SW will be just like the rest of Yorubaland in Benin republic,once Nigeria stops existing, ie too small, economically irrelevant and insignificant to us.
Your chest beating means nothing to us. We don't want to share a country with you,when we divide,you can treat any Igbo that comes to your country the way you wish and under international laws, the rest of us wouldn't mind, so that you stupeed threat is childish, the world is Igbo adventure ground, SW is inconsequential in the large scheme of things in of our migration patterns, we will simply re channel to elsewhere with our investments.
So the NCNC was an Igbo party? Was Eyo Ita not the head of govt business in the region?
Was it not after the 1951 elections when people cross-carpeted to make AG produce the Premier in the Western Region that Zik came to the East to snatch the Premiership because they were from the majority tribe?
Was Zik and NCNC not gunning for premiership in the West before the cross-carpeting incident?
The minorities were not well treated in your region that is why you will never garner from them.
I am not maligning any Igbos but you people should not gaslight us.
Can you post any evidence of Igbos maltreating the Minorities other than falsehoods from those Minorities?
Willink commission investigated every single trumped up accusations of marginalisation by Eastern minorities and found Ndiigbo to have been more fair to minorities.
The population balance between Ndiigbo and Minorities in Eastern region was 3:1 and every appointment and post in the Eastern region represented that ratio or even many times gave minorities more, but never less.
But same Willink commission done in Western region, found Yaribas fully guilty of accusations of marginalisation brought against them by the mid westerners.
Looking at the kind of nepotism Tinubu who embodies Yoruba traits,is wrecking in FG by filling everywhere with Yaribas, then you begin to understand how Yaribas ran the mid West while sidelining the Minorities totally.
For comparison, while the Obong of Calabar was the leader of Eastern house of chiefs ahead of Prominent Igbo kings like Eze Nri, Eze Aro, and Obi Onitsha, the Yaribas relegated Oba Bini to low ranked chief in the house.
Yorubars should look for an independent Oduduwa Republic
What is Independent Oduduwa Republic? Do you see Yorubas move to the SE the way u guys rush down here? If you guys want to be taken serious, let us see you guys go home for Christmas in Dec, and not come back to the SW. Until then, stop complaining, ungratefulness is a sin.
Evidence on ground show they were all wrong.
They all say that to rile up emotionally weak commoners.
There is no single evidence of Igbo dominating minorities in the old Eastern region, the Willink commission report was explicit on that.
Whenever a Nigerian politician wants to take selfish measures that will injure the masses, knowing fully well that the Igbo naturally hate suffering and will rebel against any leadership or policy that will expose them to such. Such wicked leaders start by preaching Igbo domination agenda, this way they isolate Ndiigbo, and make it easier for them to unleash poverty on everyone else including Ndiigbo.
EYO ITa was compromising the push for independence by NCNC for the whole country on altar of personal comfort for himself and his own family, but when it backfired, he fought back by shouting "Igbo domination".
Tinubu is impoverishing the whole country, Ndiigbo will naturally fight against anyone trying to impoverish us, we are a democratic people by nature and will not accept a single bad man putting the rest under pain while he enjoys, so what does Tinubu do?
He unleashes army of people like you to go and be stoking flames of Igbophobia, of course the aim is simply to ensure you separate the rest of the country from the rebellious Igbos who if left unchecked will open everyone else's eyes to reject the bad leader.
This has been the case of Tinubu/ Yoruba APC aka AD and Igbos residing in Lagos.
The Igbos in Lagos know that their living conditions there can be better if Tinubu godfather grip is broken., Lagos will get a better leadership that will work for all inhabitants, and the Igbo doesn't even care about his ethnicity, they have ed Agbaje and anyone else they think stood a chance of ousting Tinubu cabal in the past.
But to achieve this , they will need the help of everyone else in Lagos, especially Yorubas there too, but to prevent this, you Tinubu men have mastered how to control your commoners by reaching to their innate Igbophobia through Igbo hate campaigns, this way the Igbo are isolated and unable to achieve the critical mass needed to oust your reign of impoverishment not only in Lagos, but in Nigeria too.
What's the bitter truth..? You will never get it.. will you?
China is trying to force Taiwan back into the fold after capturing Hong-Kong and Macau. The same China is readying for a confrontation at the south China Sea. China is holding tight to Tibet and minority enclaves near India borders.. All these areas resent mainland China more than the minorities resent igbos
Russia went to war and decimated the insurrectionists at Chechnya. Chechnya was almost 100% infavout of independence from Russia. Putin didnt say "Oh, they dont like us that much, so we should allow foreigners to take over and dictate policies there in Chechnya'.. Russia went to war and cornered Cremea. Same Russia has now lost thousands of men fighting for portions of Ukraine for obvious geopolitical reasons.
The USA is talking up "The Gulf of America". .., wants to occupy Greenland and has basically surrounded her neighbours with pro America foreign policy thrusts. California, Texas them, New Mexico, at a point moat people in those areas would have voted to either be independent or Mexico, but the federal forces said no. What does that tell you?
Even in the south-east of today, many in Ebonyi are confused as to where they should lay their loyalty! So what should we do with them? Discard them too as we want to discard the Ibibios and Anangs? People we have lived with and married with for years before the coming of the white man.. All these while the fulani are still fervently stuck with their nebulous "Hausa/fulani" fake identity card?
Ethiopia went to battle few months back to force back a break away region into the fold.
South Sudan that has a lot of tribal groups that resent the dominant madingas are at war today to keep their territories safe.
And some of you close minded so called igbos are busy worrying yourselves about inanities. So what if the minorities complained? Are they not human beings? If they don't like the way things are run and want some autonomy, what's wrong with that? Are you going to replace British colonialism with igbo colonialism?
They want some autonomy? Give it to them but have them in the fold, since they are all so small that if they form independent states, they will easily be hyjacked by some outside forces who can use them as a launching pad to influence politics and life in say Biafra. There are many igbo haters there? Yes! But there are also many igbo lovers there. Just as the federal government empowered that hateful bunch amongst them, you should try and empower those who are pro east/Biafra.., then use them to achieve your political goals.

Y'all are small thinkers..
Please, i will advise you to do away with that idea, it makes nonsense at all, why do you want to create another mini Nigeria again? if it's Igboid only then i will agree with you

Yorubas will keep on demonizing you cos you go to someone's house and start displaying your arrogant nature. Be humble, and you won't have issue with your host. You guys can't stay a whole year in your region cos of the criminality happening there, you want to transfer that criminality here n the host no allow una n next thing na to dey shout tribalism. If I ask you for your location now, and you don't lie, I am sure it will be in one of the SW states, ...if you are in a relationship and you tell your partner that u no do again, shebi u go waka commot leave that partner for there but for una case, you say Naija is bad and u want Biafra, wetin u still come dey do inside Naija, make una start relocating first, then we will know u guys r serious..... but I know Monday sit at home no go allow u guys go back.
I love Ibos, they are a resilient people, they are good traders, but any sign of ungratefulness from them will be fully suppressed and unfortunately many of them are ungrateful, causing more problems rather than solutions for the country.
In over 63 years..
Nothing has changed..
Very useless people.
They can't stay in a place without attempting to dominate the rest of the populace. Braggarts and empty barrels.Their excessive love of money makes them easily suspectiible to crime and vice which they've exported across the globe.
Ahmadu Bello granted this interview and delivered this message over 63 years ago. It still rings true to this day.
What a useless tribe.
Wish Black Scorpion wiped them off back in the Civil War.
What's your point?
Awolowo is the father of tribal politics, he never made it a secret that an Igbo man shouldn't be heading western region.
Awolowo motivation was purely tribal .
The intrigues that led to Eyo ita ousting were purely internal party rumbling. Eyo Ita was not ousted by Zik, Zik never had such power.
Eyo Ita simply went against Party policy alongside others including Igbos, they were expelled from the party, they formed a new party and they lost in the end.
You sound very ridiculous as your Zik to have ever contemplated an Igbo man ruling South West. What evidence do you need to validate the domination agenda from the Igbos.
What is Independent Oduduwa Republic? Do you see Yorubas move to the SE the way u guys rush down here? If you guys want to be taken serious, let us see you guys go home for Christmas in Dec, and not come back to the SW. Until then, stop complaining, ungratefulness is a sin.

Criminality? You must be kidding me.
The greatest thieves in Nigerian history are Aninih and Oyenusi and non of them are Igbos.
Tinubu and his Yariiba goons have looted Nigeria dry and rendered the currency to tissue paper since you inherited the country economy wing from 2015 till date. All you know how to do is loot, loot and loot, you can't run a business on micro level.
All the multinationals you stole following Indigenization act in 70s, you ran them all bankrupt through same looting spree to senseless owanbe culture of consumerism and senseless misplaced priorities, and you wrecked the country economically when those companies failed throwing thousands into unemployment.
That's all you are good at, looting and destroying, you are never builders or micro managers.
OBJ knew this and handed over the economy part of istration to Igbos, GEJ did same and in a matter of a decade Nigeria became the biggest economy in Africa and was projected to be a trillion dollar economy by 2025 in 2014 before you looters happened in 2015 and here we are knocked down to 5th in Africa and still sliding down.
Truth is that you can't give what you don't have, you can't pour from an empty cup.
What's the bitter truth..? You will never get it.. will you?
China is trying to force Taiwan back into the fold after capturing Hong-Kong and Macau. The same China is readying for a confrontation at the south China Sea. China is holding tight to Tibet and minority enclaves near India borders.. All these areas resent mainland China more than the minorities resent igbos
Russia went to war and decimated the insurrectionists at Chechnya. Chechnya was almost 100% infavout of independence from Russia. Putin didnt say "Oh, they dont like us that much, so we should allow foreigners to take over and dictate policies there in Chechnya'.. Russia went to war and cornered Cremea. Same Russia has now lost thousands of men fighting for portions of Ukraine for obvious geopolitical reasons.
The USA is talking up "The Gulf of America". .., wants to occupy Greenland and has basically surrounded her neighbours with pro America foreign policy thrusts. California, Texas them, New Mexico, at a point moat people in those areas would have voted to either be independent or Mexico, but the federal forces said no. What does that tell you?
Even in the south-east of today, many in Ebonyi are confused as to where they should lay their loyalty! So what should we do with them? Discard them too as we want to discard the Ibibios and Anangs? People we have lived with and married with for years before the coming of the white man.. All these while the fulani are still fervently stuck with their nebulous "Hausa/fulani" fake identity card?
Ethiopia went to battle few months back to force back a break away region into the fold.
South Sudan that has a lot of tribal groups that resent the dominant madingas are at war today to keep their territories safe.
And some of you close minded so called igbos are busy worrying yourselves about inanities. So what if the minorities complained? Are they not human beings? If they don't like the way things are run and want some autonomy, what's wrong with that? Are you going to replace British colonialism with igbo colonialism?
They want some autonomy? Give it to them but have them in the fold, since they are all so small that if they form independent states, they will easily be hyjacked by some outside forces who can use them as a launching pad to influence politics and life in say Biafra. There are many igbo haters there? Yes! But there are also many igbo lovers there. Just as the federal government empowered that hateful bunch amongst them, you should try and empower those who are pro east/Biafra.., then use them to achieve your political goals. It is that simple..
Y'all are small thinkers..
And you are proud of all those needles wars. In other words you already saying you will force the southern minorities to your doomed Biafraland, of course the minorities knew this already and that informed why they are aligning with other regions in Nigeria and not the Igbos, you guys haven't given them the confidence to mirage country.
You sound very ridiculous as your Zik to have ever contemplated an Igbo man ruling South West. What evidence do you need to validate the domination agenda from the Igbos.
You are backward.
Zik resided in Lagos and paid tax in Lagos. Lagos was Nigeria capital City.
If Nigeria was ever going to be a successful country, it needed to be one built on merit and not on tribal sentiments.
An India/Pakistan became prime minister of UK, recent Austrian migrant to USA in Schwarzenegger became governor of California.
If he was providing value to the land, and the people him, why go about raising ethnic sentiments to put him down instead of argue on his competence to deliver or fail as an elected leader?
Awolowo set Nigeria on a slippery road of tribalism over merit and capacity, and that's where we are today .
That's how North chose Buhari over GEJ and that's how SW chose Tinubu over Obi, and that's why the country went backwards and continue going backwards.

IPOB don't represent Ndiigbo or how the average Igbo reasons.
IPOB are like malignant cells in the Igbo body.
The Igbo world view is built on democratic principles and the Igbo are against subjugation of others or themselves.
IPOB was always going to fail , because they are living on delusion of bringing oppressive dictatorship style of government from China and Russia and first of all impose it on Ndiigbo and later on minorities.
Ndiigbo would never submit to that. We don't do "Suplim Lida" stuff,we are not feudal Yarribas and North that do such. We are democrats.
Moreover, no reasonable Igbo want anything to do with Minorities at this point, our for GEJ was our last act of benevolence to those lots. From henceforth, it's always going to be a tit for a tat relationship.
Funny coming from a Yariiba person, when all your commoners and elites have done since 2014 is demonize Igbos are spread Igbo hate, from Oba Lagos, to MC Oluomo, to Tinubu wife, to Onunagu, to KKF.
Your Igbo hate has been torrential and non stop,but somehow, you delusionally want Igbos to react to your hate with love, you must be joking. As a Yariiba man, look at the long vacuous post you made, yet you deliberately chose not to spell Igbo right.
There are Yariiba people in SE too, even in villages here. Lagos was developed using wealth from the whole Nigeria, so it's ridiculous you want to have it to yourselves while still staying attached to Nigeria.
Anyday you want Lagos to shrink to Porto Novo size in population and relevance, just declare your Oduduwa republic, let Lagos be limited to SW wealth, population and potential and see what happens.
Igbos are in Lagos because Yaribas have stayed glued to Nigeria to grow Nigeria,Igbos are in the North too and the rest of the world.
Your SW will be just like the rest of Yorubaland in Benin republic,once Nigeria stops existing, ie too small, economically irrelevant and insignificant to us.
Your chest beating means nothing to us. We don't want to share a country with you,when we divide,you can treat any Igbo that comes to your country the way you wish and under international laws, the rest of us wouldn't mind, so that you stupeed threat is childish, the world is Igbo adventure ground, SW is inconsequential in the large scheme of things in of our migration patterns, we will simply re channel to elsewhere with our investments.
I'm sure you don't believe what you just wrote. Why wait till Yoruba declare Oduduwa Republic, why not just return enmass back to the South East immediately?
I should remind you that Lagos was already economically developed more than any other part of Nigeria before the amalgamation.
You are backward.

You acting true to yourself, what stops Zik from allowing a Yoruba Man to fly the flag of NCNC to become a premier in South West? Because Igbos want to dominate others. Well it failed and you are pained , pained because others refused to be dominated by Igbos, you called it tribalism.
Maybe you should explain how Zik became Premier in the South East.
So you want to build a nation where the constituents are there through the force of gun, you are looking up to the Chinese and Russians as example. You want Ndiigbo to become oppressors in the future, even while you hypocritically cry over Igbo oppression in Nigeria.
See, I have always known that IPOB is a cancer to Ndiigbo. You lots don't operate within Igbo principles, MNK even said he wasn't Igbo but Biafran. Your plans is to strip Ndiigbo of the core values that make us Igbo .
You all have terrorist mentality, you wish you have powers to unleash the terrorists in you, one can really see this with the way you lots handled the "sit at home" in the SE. You hate democracy even though you know the Igbo are by nature democratic and will never endorse suppression of ourselves or others.
Imagine, you even call your leader "Suplim Lida" , a term that is alien to the Igbo tenets as we don't recognise the idea of another human being supreme over us or others.
While rational Igbos want a true nation like those of Netherlands, , etc, where the constituents are ethnically homogenous and all willing participants, you cowards in IPOB are looking to impose non democratic regime on Ndiigbo where you get to rule everyone with iron fist without our democratic opinions, you also hope to annex Minorities into your delusional Biafra and treat them like Russia is doing to Chechnya or China is doing to Tibet. But meanwhile, you are powerless and don't have the powers to unleash this terrorist part of you yet, so you go about pretending they (minorities) are your brothers, you pretend you don't know of the resentment they habour for Ndiigbo, all that doesn't matter to you, you think you are wise, you will pretend they are your brothers and accept all sorts of insults from them towards the Igbo, you tend to use Ndiigbo as shield while you lure them into your autocratic Biafra that you already hope to run in an Un-,Igbo way, since you abhor Democratic principles.
But guess what? The joke is on you, the Minorities see you for what you are, and many Igbos have also started seeing you for what you are.
You have failed bro. You will have no Biafra. No such abomination is coming.
What will happen is Igbo republic and it will not be led by bunch of terrorists with a "Suplim Lida" mentality hoping to copy alien non Igbo subjugation principles from China and Russia.
Like I told you earlier, visionaries build states not some pacifist charlatans. You lack what it takes to pontificate on this issue., it is obviously way above your pay grade..Any FAKE igbos here who think that it is politically right for the igbos to overlook the possibility of being surrounded by enemy states post Nigeria, is an ijiot on steroids. By their arguments you will know them. Once you see some of them arguing vigorously about who should be allowed to be this and that in the east, while not saying much about the oppression the igbos go through, they are FAKE.
Get this though: any part of the eastern or south south or even middle belt minorities that share any sort of cultural affinities, religious beleifs or boundaries with igboland, that wants to the Biafra movement will be graciously welcomed. The most important issue here is; "are they willing to without being forced"? If yes, folks like you will have to jump out of the window then because their opinions/commitments to the emerging state, counts more than your sterile rants.
There you have it..
All your talk about how the igbos are hated all over the South South is jejune, because that has never beeen established as a fact by anyone. I dont agree with the nauseating notion that igbos are an endangered specie in the South South. That sounds more like the opinion of an agbadorian dingbat than that of a politically aware igbo man...The fulanis are hated in some parts of the north anyways. Ditto the Hausas. Yet, one north is the goal up there! We dont even know the percentage of people that hates who and who in the South South. You are on your own here! We saw the South South come out massively to vote for Peter Obi, but to you that does not count because the elections were rigged. Imagine that! Where elections not rigged in whatever state you come from too?
The South South are part and parcel of the emerging Biafra Republic! You will soon get used to that as your sterile opinion is that of a disoriented minority. Any scoundrel that doesn't like that should go and get his guns ready.. Because it will be decided after a roforofo. Who are even the socalled South south? A region that has a a large chunk of igbos and igbo soil? A place full of ethnic groups without any serious boundary demarcation between them and their Igbo neighbours? A geographical location created by the same army Generals that committed genocide in igbo land?
I'm sure you don't believe what you just wrote. Why wait till Yoruba declare Oduduwa Republic, why not just return enmass back to the South East immediately?
I should remind you that Lagos was already economically developed more than any other part of Nigeria before the amalgamation.
Lagos was made by the Colonials using wealth from all over Nigeria.
In 1906, Sir Egerton amalgamated SW with SS and SE and moved the capital of the old Southern Nigeria (SE and SS) from Calabar to Lagos!
Before this period, Lagos wasn't more developed than other parts of Nigeria.
You not okay, you want to eat your cake and have it?
We will move once Nigeria divides and our commonwealth is no longer cornered by Lagos.
You know how much that enters to Lagos by being the only maritime gateway to Nigeria and the main airway gate ways?
All the major foreign investments meant for the whole country are all poured into Lagos for this same purpose too.
Once the country divides and Lagos stops feeding off the rest of the country, we will abandon it for you Yarribas so that you can turn it to Porto Novo standard.
