Should Hausa and Yoruba decide to do Ethnophobia for just one week and kick all Igbo out of their territories back to the east, the Igbo land will be worst than South Sudan.

South East rose from ruins after 30 months of constant bombardment and properties lost via the abandoned property saga. With no government intervention but only self help has built Onitsha, Aba, Owerri, Enugu, Abakiliki, Umuahia, even contributed heavily to the development of every other nigerian city.
Only self help indeed. No allocation from fg and no senator or house member, and even gov. These people sabi proud oh. I heard the war was also fought at port, calabar,benin, warri, balyesa and akwaibom. While all these people no dey cry like Igbo always.

You want your own Country, yet there are thousands of Igbo even in Maiduguri where BH has been killing people for a decade!

Your people prefer to die in other regions than return home, despite your claims that you people are the best in Nigeria, why not liberate yourselves by going home and live in your Paradise instead of waiting to be freed from your slavery in a united Nigeria?

can u provide any real evidence that there are up to 1000 Igbos in Maiduguri? Can you provide any evidence that the number of northerners in the east is not bigger than easterners in the north?

Again we left and went back to our region and stayed there for 3 years... you guys called it treason and sent people to die to bring us back

Are you not ashamed of yourselves?

Social Thought: MR. Olusegun Mathew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo, GCFR, Ph.D. Speaks out on the Igbo Question

“Unfolding why Igbo are ahead of other tribes in Nigeria Former President of Nigeria, Chief Obasanjo has revealed reasons why Igbos are ahead of other tribes in Nigeria. It will be a task impossible to actualise for the Igbos, to follow the Yoruba’s Ideology. The Igbos are more republican by nature, which is why it is very difficult for you to tame such a tribe.

From the extensive research I did on the three major tribes, I find out that the Igbos are the most westernized, most enterprising, most astute, most dynamic, most intelligent (smart), and the most technically gifted tribe found among the black race. The Hausa/Fulani and the Yorubas have limitations. But an Igbo man doesn’t see any limitations.

An average Igbo man is highly competitive, unlike the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani. While the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani had kingdoms which enabled the British to infiltrate their territories easily, the Igbos on the other hand, had what could be called Chiefdoms” autonomous Communities. These structures made it very difficult to tame the Igbos.

It took the British just 9 months to tame the North and South West but almost 30 years to be able to tame the Igbos. The British had to send a team of anthropologists to the South to understudy the Igbo because, they (the British) acknowledged they hadn’t being up against a black race with such depth and intelligence coupled with the gut to confront the whites and learn from them so, so fast.

While a Tinubu, can have unrestricted influence over the Yoruba tribe, something you can only find mostly among blacks and some poor nations on earth today, an Igbo man can never be tamed by the ideology of one man unchecked, no matter how highly placed he or she is.

That’s why the Igbos are very successful no matter where they find themselves. They don’t believe in putting limitations on their path. You can only find such similarities among the Europeans, the Americans, and developed Asian tiger nations. A Hausa/Fulani man sees Kano as his world. A Yoruba man sees Lagos as his world. An Igbo man sees the world as his Village!”

This pattern of thought always make me think that your kind do not know that the Americans, Indians, and Chinese travel as vast as the igbos. If you think staying in your own confine alone makes you better liken yourself to South Africans

the next building to mine in Enugu is filled by Yoruba families...we don't go about telling you that you guys are leaving your region. All of you now equate the number of Igbos in Lagos and Abuja to mean we are running from our region...isn't that low self-esteem?
