Okwyjesus:
Permit me to air my view as first an Igbo man and secondly as a Nigeria on why l think the Igbos harbors deep bitterness over the Nigerian nation. Having read several accounts of the civil war and from the direct story my Mum told me as a little boy this is my personnal view of the unending cold war between the Igbos and the rest of the country especially the west and the north.

1. ALMOST EVERY IGBO FAMILY SHARED IN THE TRAGEDY OF THE CIVIL WAR.

Yes, hardly will you find any Igbo family residing in Nigeria during the civil war that was not affected by the massacre and hunger that killed about 3 million Igbos especially children. Most of this people are the bread winners of their family and the rising stars. My Mum lost their first son during the war alongside her Grand Mum and several relations not counting those that Kwashiokor dealt with mercilessly.

2. THE LOST WAS MUCH

The Igbos lost virtually everything that made them leading immediately after independent. From the lead in Military to the business empires etc. The"abondon property" in Port Harcourt is still a painful memory to many. Most Igbos have not recovered from the lost totally. For example, my Mum left her Certificate in the Cupboard and ran during the war and that killed the family dream of having her as a Nurse. The 40 pounds exchange and uncountable set backs keep many Igbos still bleeding years after the war.

3. THE CONTINUOUS INJUSTICE
Funny enough , it seems the nation didn't learn anything from the war than to keep suppressing the Igbos and continuously trying to not to give them much space.We keep hiding this history from our children which is not good enough for our children. I strongly believe that until the nation come out of her present mindset about Igbos, we may not grow beyond where we are because even God hate injustice.

4. BIAFRA LIVES WITHIN EVERY IGBO MAN
Even the old dying Igbo men in the village will jump back to life at the mention of Biafra. Its like the Igbos heartbeat. Igbos who are not saying / doing anything about Biafra are doing so bcs of their personnal interest in Nigeria. But the truth remains that a referendum will get virtually all Igbos endorsement.

Amist all this, l believe we are better as ONE NATION especially in this 21st century. The Igbos must learn to forgive and others (North and West) must freely accept Igbos and explore the strength in them for the growth of the nation.

I personally understands your point but we are not one and we can never be one...... If we were united with the on going corruption and political unrest in the country by now in our unity there would have been a revolution from the people..... But look at the picture of this nation, our unity is only on mouth and never at heart, we have tried, 100 years is not a childs pray, we are not one and we can never be........ Lets divide #freeBiafra

vayne:

Only the imagination that igbos are dominating Lagos gradually keeps you bleating,you opened a thread already and ran away
Despite the setbacks of the civil war,the igbos have become prosperous beyond your expectation,you keep wondering if these are same people that were given €20

That thing you are looking for,you will soon get a handful of it,continue,until you change this monika too.

All these noise about biafra on NL is becoming nauseating, the average igbo person in lagos does not give a hoot about biafra likewise the yoruba's. In lagos all that matters is to make ends meet irrespective of anyone's tribe or ethnic group. Even the so called Market scuffles between yoruba's and Igbo's are purely economical and you will be surprised to find people of both tribes on each divide.

Joker. Why wouldn't Ojukwu lead a battle to liberate his people from the fraud of a nation that Lord Lugard came from Britain to give you? You should be thankful to Ojukwu, he was the only one with the guts to try and destroy the farcical and fictitious creation of the White man some of you call Nigeria. Don't worry, my generation of Igbos will be the ones to deliver Nigerians out of colonial mentality

zendy:



Are we talking about about Igboland or Lagos? Biafra is not about some Igbo man looking for his daily bread in Lagos,London or Japan. It's about people who reside and live in Igbo land

lionshare:


OK. But if I may ask don't you think those living outside igboland will be affected?

zendy:
I'm an Igbo man, not a Nigerian

Now who gives a flying fc.uk if you are Jew or from Mars ?
