If -for the sake of argument- we say the Igbo will go it alone, form their own republic and be ‘landlocked’! You can bet you last naira they would become the beautiful bride...courted by the other newly emergent republics that presently make up present day south-south! They would be courted for bilateral deals in shipping, railway transportation, tourism, hydrocarbon exploration/exploitation/export (remember the largest indigenous oil servicing coys are owned by Igbos...Oilserv, NESTOIL and Britannia-U), and commerce (Igbos can partner with our Cross-River cousins to breath life into TINAPA and Obudu ranch)!

So you see, can’t speak for others but the case of Ndigbo is far from hopeless!

Kanu said the Zoo must fall. But the question is what happens to the animals in the zoo including his people when it falls?

I have requested from Nigerians to have the silly country disintegrated for a trial of one year. There must be a Republic of Igbo land and others. If it did not work fine, Nigeria can be reconstituted again with different configuration.

Dedetwo:


Bros do not pay any mind to useless brains in Nigeria. Nigeria is not called basket of fools for nothing. The baseless thinkers such as the one you responded with the above post make Nigeria to continuously look bad. Who in his/her right mind would want to have any of these goons as compatriot.

Its very disheartening a youth can still be reasoning like that. Government should make education compulsory.

I've toured the South East more than you ever will.

I know you typed all these with tears and pain but calm down. Ihotago?
I know SE doesn't accept obvious facts, especially when it doesn't favor them. So I understand your pains. It's pathetic

I don't know what map you are using, but let me agree with you about the presence of the river leading to hell.
So ask yourself, does the river not exit itself through another state before emptying itself into the Atlantic?
And why have they not built a major port there?

Oil in Imo? Tell us the estimated deposit there

And I don't think i said SE will not survive. At least they will eat enough ebonyi rice and their very salty water.
Rather, I'm only saying their chances of survival compared to other regions will come with lots of suffering.

Dude, i’ve address your ill-informed position in my two previous posts on this thread!

It’s funny that it’s the people you claim will end up with the short end of the stick that have the boldness and self-belief to want to go it alone...today, if possible! Meanwhile the cocky and hate-filled ones are the people clinging on to ‘one Nigeria’ like their life depends on it!

mrvitalis:
Firstly this map is not the true map of the people...

What would the Christian's in southern kaduna be doing in a country with north west ...

What would the Christian's in the north east be doing in a country a North East country


The Christian majority tribes in the north should be added up to form north Central , .....

The yorubas in middle belt should be given a chance to join their brothers or stay

Same with the igbos of South south

Every region has the potential ....but it depends on the leadership they elect

people are bringing meaningful ideas but yours can only represent your religions bigot with unrealistic recommendation .liberate yourself. I don't know why many of you like to kill yourselves on these imported Religions? are you telling us all those host religions countries do not have opposites religions practising in their countries ?

You are not wise my friend.


Southern Borno have Christians, Southern Bauchi have Christians, Northern and Southern Adamwa have Christians. Yobe have Christians, Kebbi, zamfara, sokoto have Christians.

My question is how will you carve them into your delusional middle belt region? All these places I mention are very far from each other, and they are placed in the midst of Muslim predominant communities.

I keep on saying SW and Kogi Muslims have strong bond with Northern Muslims, and they are the majority in SW. They have mutual loyalty between them.

You can never create a region based on religion. In the middle belt 3 states are predominantly Christians while 3 states are predominantly Muslims.

don't mind that mrvitalis guy,I stopped arguing with him the day I realised he's a confusionist

just imagine someone saying regions will b created based on religion,so there are no Muslims in America or there are no Christians in America too even the so called Muslim countries many of them have Christians but they are majorly Muslims

the guy is just trying to b clever by half since he realised south south can stand alone without any attachment from south east so he's looking for every possible means to paint it as impossible

so u are trying to tell us that it's only Igbos that have sense,other regions don't have sense n competent people who can run their affairs.

other regions will run to u for development,have u ever thought of land mass?

If u study the map I would realize it's very very easy to carve out ....truth is no northern minority would agree to be in a country where Fulani are majority

My idea was that minorities be give power to choose where they want ...it's very very simple ...why are you scared of my proposal ....what's your issue with south south and northern Christians

The south west will develop best followed by the ss and north central

Pray, where did i say Ndigbo get sense pass others? Is that your understanding of ‘bilateral deals’?

The scenarios i painted were ones of quid-pro-quo, where all parties mutually benefit from each other and bring something to the table!

How can you carve it out, Yobe Christains are in the far north while Borno Christians are in the far south. By the way Southern Borno and most of the Minority tribes are intertwined when it comes to religion. A family can have 50 50 Christians and Muslims.

Allow people determine there destiny ...is that too hard ? ...how every they decide let the map be

Last question are you from a northern minority tribe or an igbo man?


Because obviously, you don't know what's happening in the north you only feed on what the media feeds you. Ask anyone you know NE minorities co inhabits peacefuly with one another regardless of religion.

Fulanis spoilt the north ...they always live in peace Christians n muslims till fulanis come along .....the issue with the north is fulanis

Show me a either u submit fully or they fight u till u submit ....

I dare you show me any town that gave fulanis land to settle that didn't regret it ...from hausa to kanuri , to jukun ,to many minorities

Ezewuzie01:
South East is landlocked. And as long as SS refuse to participate in Biafra, it remains a mirage. Only the north can break away from the country without stress but they will be landlocked too and they don't like that. The SW has the brightest prospects if they are independent.

There is no tribe known as SS. Igbos in that area won't like to be a minority in a new country. It's just human nature to move in groups and they will form a union with their brethren. The Igbos in the SS are not landlocked so that issue is DOA

The North will never let the SW go because they have laid claim to the coastline of Lagos since 1966. Today they are even tightening their grip on the inland waterways. Dangote practically owns the Lagos Port terminal and the road to the Port, customs bosses have always been from the north etc. Even if they allow the Yorubas go free they won't leave Lagos for them.

mrvitalis:

You are not getting it, are you? Voting is not the issue here, I know my northern Christians brethren they would never leave their ancestral home no matter what. They are more dedicated culturally and religiously than any other Christians in this country, even at gun point they will not change their mind.

I am not referring to S.Kaduna,Jos or any NC Christians here, I am talking about NE Christians

No town in Southern Borno or Borno state entirely is conquered by Fulani, we still maintain our tradition and culture.. Check well our king titles are different from other northern states traditional rulers. We call our kings Mai etc.

However, Not all Fulanis are violent as you lots insinuated, we have lots of peaceful fulanis only few are babaric

So they are going to include Lagos in Northern whatever when Nigeria breaks?

They will jump several states to lay claim on Lagos.

slerry:

if d Afonja head slammer can do better than any region when they secede, why are d head slammer Afonja always attack d igbos whenever d issue of BIAFRA comes up? guess the parasite can't do without the east.

Those head slammers as you called them have always been liberals who practised live and let live policy.Even if Lagos was doing better due to her port and educated personnel than all sections before the advent of Nigeria,the fed govt have spent a considerable money on Lagos and Yoruba will not just want to take away Lagos like that which would prompt the SS to want to leave too.Sadly,these two areas are the most blessed naturally even if the others are blessed too.

Let me give you an insight into the thinking of Yorubas in recent times...they are ready and prepared to leave this union especially if there is no restructuring.Nigeria had the badluck of being ruled by some of the worst and very corrupt Northerners who had institutionalized corruption(Jonathan and Obasanjo just followed their footsteps...if you can't win them,join them..they were also very corrupt)

Go and download and read...Political leadership and corruption in Nigeria since 1960 by Prof. Ogbeidi....and you will cry for Nigeria.

In short Yorubas are very ready to leave Nigeria and 2023 is one of the deciders.

Everybody wants progress and progress we would have.Most Northerners believe that educational and technological progress will expose them.Nigeria will not make good progress if a Northerner leads Nigeria,that is the sad truth You cannot give what you don't have.
Nigeria is nearing disintegration if things continue like this.
Sane people can see the handwriting on the wall.

North east or North west.

South east is a landlocked region that will remain dependent on every other regions around it, either for water or for oil or food and Electricity.

The North has always been able to sustain themselves before discovery of oil and their moderate lifestyle is an advantage. Food and trade will boom easy

South south and south west will flourish due to oil and foreign trade, and transportation (waterways).

North central will remain dependent on mineral resources and they will form a coalition with the NE and NW.

Which SW will flourish due to waterways, just small apapa that's what you are referring to the entire SW. Rubbish

Apapa The entire South west is surrounded by water..Ondo in particular

As it stands, only SW would hit the ground running

Is Lagos that is just giving all these mouth. Lagos was developed by others, the other states that are run by full fledged yorubas are all shitholes. So shut up

Genoa:

You must be a jambite. Go get some knowledge and stop posting silly memes.

SW made a deal 54 years ago with the north and the north never forgets. They plan generational not yearly and they owned Lagos waterways for years and now the new road to the port will be owned by them and you shall soon start paying a toll to use it

Obamaofusa:

If they do not have the kind of bad leaders they have now.With NDDC,they can still be like Dubai but we all have this black mentality.

I agree the selfish actions of many of the leaders in Delta State is why Delta State is at the bottom of the barrel till this day.

Dedetwo:


You still put the wrong leg in ignorance. Does being landlocked ever stopped a country from socio-politico-economic growth? Nigeria had miles of coastline yet could not do a better job on Boko Haram than Chad. The last time I check, Chad is landlocked.

Yes being landlocked is a determinant. Stop basking in ignorance.

Ask yourself how lagos came about being the business hub of Nigeria, if not Africa.
Ask yourself how rice and car business flourished in benin republic.

And have you ever stopped for a second to think about why we suffer electricity in Nigeria? No. You are one of those short thinking people who shout "it's due to corruption".

You talked about Chad. I think that's an unnecessary point in this argument. But what else would I expect from Igbos who take delight in the downfall of their country.
Let me tell you that Nigeria has recorded more success in the fight against insurgency than Chad.
We had BH caliphates all around the NE up till 2015, but now, the insurgents are restricted to boundaries and are contemplating a cease fire.

Do not disregard the Eastern region and called it landlocked and might not survive the splitting of Nigeria.

Remember it has abundance of rainfall.
Remember Austria is landlocked.
Remember Switzerland is landlocked.
Hungary is landlocked.
Vatican is Landlocked.
Rwanda is landlocked.
Luxembourg is landlocked.
Ethiopia is landlocked and yet these countries are the richest in their regions.

The igbos are the richest tribe in Nigeria without dependence on Nigeria oil and how do they achieve it,one thing services.

There are many countries in Africa that are not landlocked yet they are very poor E.g Benin republic Gambia,Togo and Mozambique. What we should be talking about is how innovative are the people to develop their land.

Let them divide Nigeria first and see how far we the south east people will fare.

why re dis people u said will suffer most,same people dt says they want to,be on,their to,d extent of going to war, why cant una leave them to go, its bc u know all u write is lies, d southeast u know maybe d one in ur ball,sack

You suffer from lack of historical facts.
SE never went to war because they wanted to. They never went to war because they felt they could lead themselves.
Infact, Nnamdi Azikiwe was one of the people who stuck to One Nigeria and was never in support of secession.
Go through "There was a country by Chinua Achebe" It will butress how many times Zik discouraged Ojukwu.

My point is, SE went to war because they were treated unfairly after the first coup not because they felt they have enough resources or at advantage!
