It's an avoidable, an unnecessary War caused due to unhealthy hatred and envy and jealousy, IGBOS success becomes the problem, then Nigerians comprises of many Ethnic Groups gang up against Biafran's with the military help from other foreign Nations, Foreign Nations wasn't pleased a Black Nation like Biafrans could be developing Weapons by themselves, and as of then Europeans were still very active in Africa, So the rise of Igbos could be a problem, So they surported the "Within" Enemies which share same geographical location with Igbos. So they gang up and Biafrans without any International help stood and defend their land for three years of brutal war...The problem is that other Ethnic Groups feels Igbos are too dominant, and competitive. They can't handle the competitive spirit of Igbos, So they ganged up against them, Hope you watched the documentary on how Igbos shocked the world to recover their Economical strength in less than a year after the War, Forward to 2021, they are still crying again complaining Igbos are dominating everyone in Nigeria, Igbos are buying every properties all over Nigeria, isn't God an awesome God, Igbos are choosen people from God Almighty and that pains some people, Igbos have so soooooo much Enemies within.
Before Nigeria Civil War, Nigeria was divided into three regions comprises of East, North and Western Regions, The Capital of Eastern region is Enugu, the Capital of Northern region is Kaduna, the Capital of Western region is Ibadan, forward to this day, Enugu the Capital of Eastern region that was destroyed to ashes during the War, Without any federal government presence is rated 3rd most beautiful City in Nigeria, only behind Abuja and Lagos which are all state Capitals. But Ibadan the western region Capital with all the federal government presence is rated the 4th bottom least underdeveloped State in Nigeria, Kaduna the Northern region Capital, With alot soooo much federal government presence there today is not even in top 10th most develop states, All Eastern states made it at top 10 list of most develop states in Nigeria...and the ignorant fools without any attorm of shame still ranting on social media, 😂😂🤦🏽♂️ People that survived a brutal War had to recover and still left them behind.

Odogwu ka ibu for identifying with your roots, kit and kin across the Niger. Encourage other indigenes of Igbo akiri to be proud of their Igboness. Indigenous Igbos of Benue state are proud Igbos today, just like you. The more understanding we have among ourselves, the more strength we have while bargaining for our share irrespective. Udo!
Mazi Ugochukwu..DAALU ri nne.. The Niger does Not AND cannot divide blood Spirit and Kindred. If an Igbo in Benue Edo is only just beginning to identify with their ROOTS{IGBO}just because they are being reminded or told AND retold that they are IGBOS..Then this is very SAD and unfortunate situation because an IGBO person should NOT have to be reminded or told that he/she is IGBO because it is an ETHNICITY/RACE he/she should be PROUD OWNING AND FEEL pride/joy in belonging to and being part of and Something You as an IGBO person FEEL AND KNOW inside of you besides the OBVIOUS GLARING EVIDENCE that One is. There is also this Generalisation and often misconception that a majority or Most IGBOS in {let me say for simplicity sake call it Delta State something I hate but for space/time call it so}deny being IGBOS..This is simply NOT TRUE AND FAR from the Truth of course there is a HANDFUL{I REPEAT A HANDFUL with Mixed blood in them OR camouflaging "Igbos"whose Goal is to sow the seed of deceit/confusion among the IGBOS and Sadly enough there are the Gullible ones on both side of the divide who allow for this because on the part of the IGBO person who on the Western part of the Niger says he/she is NOT IGBO when ALL THE INDICATION points to the fact that He/she is IGBO "Help" is needed with such person/s{Group} and equally on the part of Kits and Kins in the Eastern part of the Niger{both part being THE ANCESTRAL IGBOLAND HOME OF THE IGBOS}the Notion of other IGBOS being less of an IGBO person is an attitude that requires reevaluation and reset thinking on their part{this is said mindful that it is ONLY a handful that are of such opinion and attitude in my experience/research}.. NDI IGBO have in the recent past embarked on a Mission to bringing"their Family" back together from especially every part of the "Contraption suffocating entity Nigeria"AND this can ONLY bode well for US. The Division is enough and long over due for over hauling and Correction AND HUGE/MASSIVE THANKS to OHAMADIKE ONYE NDU in NO SMALL MEASURES. I trace my UMUNNA FAMILY ANCESTRY to a location/family in ANAMBRA NNEWI axis today so that being told or being reminded that I AM IGBO is something I find VERY VERY STRANGE because it is MOST NATURAL AND NORMAL for ME.. Also I come from a city where all of the original inhabitants KNOW AND ACCEPT without ANY DOUBT that they are IGBOS.. UDO Mazi Ugochukwu. UDO GA DI..IGBO BU IGBO..IGBO GA DI. IGBO AMAKA.Born IGBO proud IGBO will DIE IGBO and in the Next life STILL IGBO.. Furthermore I am Not from IGBO AKIRI{IGBANKE}but my years of Studies/Research on this Matter points me in the direction of my Conclusion that they are IGBOS too. Closer to the Niger I AM.

An insightful video. I have subscribed because of this video. Keep the flag flying. One love. It is the wish of every right thinking Igbo man - to be free from the contamination of the Hausa/ Fulani because our relationship with the Hausa/ Fulani has brought nothing but the debasing of the Igbo value system and enthronement of mediocrity in every sphere of Nigerian life.

Onitsha is run by Biafrans, yet it's one of the most disgusting, unplanned and disorganized cities in the world to live in. Aba is run by Biafrans, yet it's one of the dirtiest cities in the world. What does that tell you about Biafrans? We don't know how to organise ourselves yet.

i get a lot of hate speech about Igbos, e.g. Igbos go back to your dirty village, Igbos you complain too much go and develop your towns and villages, Igbo this, Igbo that. and when that hatred starts i just simply share Eboh G's videos and everywhere ajuor oyi, you can hear a pin drop in Alaska. A few days ago there was another Igbo hater on Patz TV youtube channel after we watched the vid on banana island and i commented that i thought it would look better taken into account the cost of land. Then the hate speech started, Igbo man go back to your dirty village, Igbo man if you had houses you would not be in Lagos or Abuja so i just sent Eboh G's video on Abiriba and Onitsha and then one of mine called the True Beauty of Owerri and i asked the hater which village or town should i choose as all our towns and villages are replicas of whats in these videos. The guy or the hater felt so low, he apologised, and he admitted saying , you Igbos come from a very beautiful place O and then he changed his earlier stance to, because you people come from a beautiful place doesn't mean you should complain about other people's towns. He looked down on Igbos because he had no idea of what our home towns and villages look like. Other Nigerians look down on us because they are non the wiser. Many believe Igbos are in Lagos and Abuja because we have no towns and villages or we still live in mud houses Part of the point i am trying to make is referenced in one of Warriors songs, ( Onye Mka Mma Akolam Onu) meaning ( person wey i better pass don yab me) A lot of igbos don't really know their true worth in this world, A lot of Igbos don't really know how beautiful Igboland is. A lot of Igbos and Nigeria as a country don't know that Ala Igbo has the most beautiful and developed towns and villages on the African continent. A lot of Igbos don't know the amount of world wide recognition that EBOH MEDIA has brought to ALA IGBO. That's why for years i have encouraged Nde Igbo to continue to promote positive images about Ala Igbo.

Why are coming to tell igbos on this platform your misguided preaching, why don’t you go and tell the Hausa Fulani who have systematically marginalised the igbos for more than 50 years. Igbos are not allowed to be Nigerian, a fundamental right of every Nigerian is to aspire to attain to any positions. The igbos cannot aspire to be president, chief Judge of Supreme Court and many sensitive roles. Yet igbos are not allowed to go and have their own country. Saving your preaching for another day with your one Nigeria myth, Nigeria is the most tribalistic nation on earth that are deeply divided on tribal lines.

This is a very good question to ask , although I think the truth would be too hard for most people to accept! I am glad you titled your video “Igboland” and nothing else ! As attractive as it might sound to some Igbo’s and the so called biafra activists , an igboland as a country would struggle terribly! Igbo’s thrive very well today , because they ARE a part of larger entity called Nigeria ! Igbo traders are just about everywhere else in Nigeria, and they have been like this since well before independence! Igbo people are indeed one of some 260 other ethnicities in Nigeria! And that’s where their current success stems from! An Igbo trader in Alaba in Lagos is not selling solely to Igbo people, it is the vast majority of other Nigerians that needs the goods and services of the industrious Igbo, that makes them wealthy! I don’t believe that this can be replicated solely in an Igbo country! How would An igboland as envisaged survive as a nation with no access to the sea? With no land borders with any other African country , as it would be totally surrounded and encircled by Nigeria ! Even a very friendly neighbouring Nigeria would feed fat from tariffs earned from taxing igboland! An aeroplane flying from say Doula or Chad or Cameroon would enter Nigerian airspace before it can land in igboland, international tariff laws allows Nigeria to charge for entry into her airspace, which won’t be the case now as igboland is part of Nigeria ! Igboland will have no access to the sea! Although it has numerous rivers, a hostile Nigeria can dam any river it wants from the coastal waters and there in nothing igboland can do ! So the seaports of Lagos/Port Harcourt/Calabar/Uyo would feed fat from proceeds earned from goods earmarked for Igboland in the interior ! Very much in the manner of the blockade that was used to starve “biafrans” during the civil war ! Supplies of food and medicine were stopped as indeed were supplies of arms and ammunitions! So despite their zeal and grit , biafra was totally strangulated ! As Nigeria is constituted today, only two areas of the country can “enjoy” a secession, and those are Crossriver/ Akwa Ibom as one entity ( former South Eastern state) and (to a very much lesser degree, Lagos state ( as it is constituted today with its 20 million diverse people! Lagos as an Awori nation or even an entirely Yoruba state would struggle terribly! And if anyone thinks Oduduwa as a complete Yoruba entity would be a success story needs to go back into ancient history! Some of the most formidable inter- tribal wars recorded in modern day Nigeria were fought in Yoruba land ! The South Eastern state “Crossriver/Akwa Ibom is probably the best or should I say a better option!! As a country of her own, she would have internal diversity of its people ( this is of utmost important) , she would have multiple access to the sea and also share a land border with Cameroon ! It has ample oilfields and massive agricultural land especially in Crossriver! Not so much Igboland! It’s a lofty thought, but a landlocked Igboland totally surrounded by another country would struggle terribly as a nation state! My take !
Like you, I am happy that the video was named 'Igboland' and not 'Biafra' or any combination of the two. You are entirely right in your analysis. But it is a difficult and very delicate matter for any member of Ndi Igbo to voice that opinion. So allow me to commend you. I write as one who was in secondary school during the civil war and lost at least one good friend who died in 1968 at the age of 14 fighting in the bitter 'Battle of Onitsha.' I have been privileged since then in my profession as a global business journalist and analyst to understand that there is no way that secession would work, for many of the reasons that you have outlined and more! Indeed, I cannot think of a single example where it has. In Yugoslavia, the break up of the country into its constitution parts led to a horrific civil war in the 1990s. The break up of Czechoslovakia led to the impoverishment of the Czech and Slovak republics. And in Africa, no one can say that the secession of South Sudan from the Muslim majority nation has been a success. Nor indeed has the splitting away of Eritrea from Ethiopia. As you rightly point out the first thing that will be done if a Biafran republic is declared is that the borders will be sealed. We will be lucky to have access to Port Harcourt, much less Calabar or any other sea port. An air link will hardly be capable of sustaining our population. In any event we will be at the mercy of Abuja whose navy and airforce could blockade Biafra at will. Those of you old enough to remember Uli airstrip will remember that relief flights were limited and could only land by night for fear of being shot down, as some were! And who are these politicians that will lead Biafra into the 'promised land'? Is it not the same politicians that we have now? Solutions to the problems facing Ndi Igbo will only be found when those of temperate character are ready to take the 'emotional' heat out of the debate. In this regard we should play to our strengths, not our weaknesses. Our strengths include the fact that as a people our commercial instincts and manufacturing abilities are unrivalled within the Nigerian entity! We should promote that and seek ways to act within the wider Nigerian polity to our advantage. I personally would like to see a 'Hong Kong' style solution, meaning 'one nation two systems'. Mainland China allows Hong Kong to succeed because it is in their advantage to do so. Our weakness, also the weakness for Hong Kong, is that we are small. That means that if we try to take on the rest of Nigeria, head on, we are bound to lose. The citizens of Hong Kong understand this in their relationship with Beijing and mostly disavow politics in order to concentrate on their economy. We can learn a lesson from this.
@@nnamdianyadike3131 You my guy, you are blessed! This is the most coherent and unemotive feedback that i have read ! Most times agitators are hostile, crude, abusive ! They would arrogate or designate a tribe for you ! But yours is an embodiment of erudition and common sense! I can’t thank you enough for your civility as well as your factual take on the subject matter!
I would agree with some points but you're underestimating Igbos also Biafra DID exist (as did Oduduwa etc.) and it was very successful, they were only drawn back for British gain so... Today there are many options available i.e. the United Kingdom which has 4 countries but is still identified as 1 and it works better than all the countries being 1 country only. If that makes sense. Currently, there is strong self-identity and nationalism of Biafrans which aids its success and natural formation as a unique entity, such is not present in Nigeria (excluding Lagos, which is ideally what a combined culture looks like) as a whole due to the excess cultural diversity (leading to the divergence of identity), so I go back to the UK idea. But it's all in God's hands.
@@praiseline8279 Praiseline, biafra “existed” for all of 30 months from 1967 to 1970 as an attempted secession! The name biafra was acquired from the coastal feature which extends from Rivers in present day Nigeria to Equatorial Guinea ! And it is not an Igbo word or name , biafra is a corrupted version of the name Mafra and it was named by the Portuguese after a town in Portugal! It has no correlation to Igboland in any form! It did seem plausible (at the time) because of Nigeria’s geopolitical structure of 4 regions ( for administration purposes)whereby the Eastern region did have the areas of present day Akwa Ibom, Crossriver, Bayelsa and Rivers , but they were not known as biafra and neither were they one entity! Indeed the federal government of the day ,restructured the country from 4 regions into 12 states, before the first bullets were fired ! Indeed prior to the biafra war, there was a more spontaneous and impactful revolution among the Oil Rivers people (Ijaw/Kalabari) , an attempt to create the Niger Delta republic, which didn’t want to have to answer to Lagos(federal republic capital) or to Enugu( Eastern region capital) It was evident that the Niger Delta minorities didn’t like or want igbo domination and wanted out of the Eastern region since way back in the 50’s! And this had been birthed by a proactive minority rights activism in Nigeria ! Indeed the 12 states structure placated and pacified both northern and southern minority groups in Nigeria ! A lot of chronic political miscalculations by some political actors (including igbos) in the early 1960’s was what brought a newly independent nation in to full scale war within 6 to 7 years of its independence! Prior the the British colonisation, Igbo’s were a very politically fragmented ethnic group, with different centralised chiefdoms! The much saluted Igbo sense of ethnic pride and ethnic identity of today did not exist in the olden days ! Indeed, this is not particular to the Igbo’s alone! British colonial rule made us firstly to be aware of our various immediate ethnicities, and then by extension, our Nigerianness! But here is the summation Praiseline, Nigeria has nearly 300 distinct ethnic groups, each with their own language and customs, of course with the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa being the largest 3! It is this tripod stand mentality ( imposed on us by the British) that has fuelled the repeated secession ideology from essentially the big 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria! I believe it is archaic, tribalist , primitive and backwards! Balkanisation, secession, just like military coups, are outdated and primordial! If after a mere 6 years of independence, we didn’t manage to split up, we are not going to do it now after 60 years of independence and 106 years of amalgamation! Make everybody go drink beer!
@@aframaco9491 you need to understand the Genesis..... What Ojukwu wanted restructuring, true federalism (confederation). Biafra was a plan B...... Without which Nigeria will be the worst African country in 50 years time.....
This region in Nigeria as an Igbo land to be a country in is own is out of context because the Igbo land is inside Nigeria not at the side or the edge of Nigeria, when we take a look at the map of Ss Sw Se Nigeria we see that the land which are in the edge are S W and E..; Delta Igbo State, Ijaw, Bayelsa State-Itsekiri, Cross River State-calaba, Akwa Ibom State, Edo State, this regions are in the adge of Nigeria between the ocean which surrounded Igbo land, so the Igbo land is in the middle of this regions, which a country ain't be inside country, except those regions that are in the edges as S W E will join Igbo to separate from Nigeria, this is the only way a country can devide from Nigeria, country inside Nigeria is out of context...?

I don't see Rivers, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and all of Delta State here. Dim Ojukwu was very diplomatic, respectful and clever. He successfully managed to carry about 90% of the original indigenous people of Biafra along in OUR STRUGGLE between 1966/67 to 1970. But now, any suggestions or words of advise are met with insults and threats. Sadly, the enemy is watching and gloating over our divisions on social media. I hope the youth can be more mature and pragmatic and less insulting of the Biafran Elders or whosoever offers words of caution. Please use other resources other than violence and try and get it right without being slaughtered like before. We are monitoring Nigeria and we know that Buhari is rapidly building up militarily. But we WILL STOP ANOTHER GENOCIDE AGAINST OUR PEOPLE! Finally, we should learn from the strategy of the State of Israel , and resort to violence only when we have carefully done your homework to ensure that our losses will be NOTHING or very MINIMAL. Still, Biafra without our strategic partners in the South-south Region is really nothing but a joke. MAY GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA !!!

Stunning work. I watched a documentary about Biafra 2 nights ago and it left me sad but this video picked me back up. I am going to email you.
It's an avoidable, an unnecessary War caused due to unhealthy hatred and envy and jealousy, IGBOS success becomes the problem, then Nigerians comprises of many Ethnic Groups gang up against Biafran's with the military help from other foreign Nations, Foreign Nations wasn't pleased a Black Nation like Biafrans could be developing Weapons by themselves, and as of then Europeans were still very active in Africa, So the rise of Igbos could be a problem, So they surported the "Within" Enemies which share same geographical location with Igbos.
So they gang up and Biafrans without any International help stood and defend their land for three years of brutal war...The problem is that other Ethnic Groups feels Igbos are too dominant, and competitive. They can't handle the competitive spirit of Igbos, So they ganged up against them, Hope you watched the documentary on how Igbos shocked the world to recover their Economical strength in less than a year after the War,
Forward to 2021, they are still crying again complaining Igbos are dominating everyone in Nigeria, Igbos are buying every properties all over Nigeria, isn't God an awesome God, Igbos are choosen people from God Almighty and that pains some people, Igbos have so soooooo much Enemies within.
Before Nigeria Civil War, Nigeria was divided into three regions comprises of East, North and Western Regions, The Capital of Eastern region is Enugu, the Capital of Northern region is Kaduna, the Capital of Western region is Ibadan, forward to this day, Enugu the Capital of Eastern region that was destroyed to ashes during the War, Without any federal government presence is rated 3rd most beautiful City in Nigeria, only behind Abuja and Lagos which are all state Capitals.
But Ibadan the western region Capital with all the federal government presence is rated the 4th bottom least underdeveloped State in Nigeria, Kaduna the Northern region Capital, With alot soooo much federal government presence there today is not even in top 10th most develop states, All Eastern states made it at top 10 list of most develop states in Nigeria...and the ignorant fools without any attorm of shame still ranting on social media, 😂😂🤦🏽♂️ People that survived a brutal War had to recover and still left them behind.

Odogwu ka ibu for identifying with your roots, kit and kin across the Niger. Encourage other indigenes of Igbo akiri to be proud of their Igboness. Indigenous Igbos of Benue state are proud Igbos today, just like you. The more understanding we have among ourselves, the more strength we have while bargaining for our share irrespective. Udo!
Mazi Ugochukwu..DAALU ri nne..
The Niger does Not AND cannot divide blood Spirit and Kindred.
If an Igbo in Benue Edo is only just beginning to identify with their ROOTS{IGBO}just because they are being reminded or told AND retold that they are IGBOS..Then this is very SAD and unfortunate situation because an IGBO person should NOT have to be reminded or told that he/she is IGBO because it is an ETHNICITY/RACE he/she should be PROUD OWNING AND FEEL pride/joy in belonging to and being part of and Something You as an IGBO person FEEL AND KNOW inside of you besides the OBVIOUS GLARING EVIDENCE that One is.
There is also this Generalisation and often misconception that a majority or Most IGBOS in {let me say for simplicity sake call it Delta State something I hate but for space/time call it so}deny being IGBOS..This is simply NOT TRUE AND FAR from the Truth of course there is a HANDFUL{I REPEAT A HANDFUL with Mixed blood in them OR camouflaging "Igbos"whose Goal is to sow the seed of deceit/confusion among the IGBOS and Sadly enough there are the Gullible ones on both side of the divide who allow for this because on the part of the IGBO person who on the Western part of the Niger says he/she is NOT IGBO when ALL THE INDICATION points to the fact that He/she is IGBO "Help" is needed with such person/s{Group} and equally on the part of Kits and Kins in the Eastern part of the Niger{both part being THE ANCESTRAL IGBOLAND HOME OF THE IGBOS}the Notion of other IGBOS being less of an IGBO person is an attitude that requires reevaluation and reset thinking on their part{this is said mindful that it is ONLY a handful that are of such opinion and attitude in my experience/research}..
NDI IGBO have in the recent past embarked on a Mission to bringing"their Family" back together from especially every part of the "Contraption suffocating entity Nigeria"AND this can ONLY bode well for US.
The Division is enough and long over due for over hauling and Correction AND HUGE/MASSIVE THANKS to OHAMADIKE ONYE NDU in NO SMALL MEASURES.
I trace my UMUNNA FAMILY ANCESTRY to a location/family in ANAMBRA NNEWI axis today so that being told or being reminded that I AM IGBO is something I find VERY VERY STRANGE because it is MOST NATURAL AND NORMAL for ME..
Also I come from a city where all of the original inhabitants KNOW AND ACCEPT without ANY DOUBT that they are IGBOS..

Nnwanem i have my Subsribed because this Video, i love your content. Igbo kwenu
i get a lot of hate speech about Igbos, e.g. Igbos go back to your dirty village, Igbos you complain too much go and develop your towns and villages, Igbo this, Igbo that. and when that hatred starts i just simply share Eboh G's videos and everywhere ajuor oyi, you can hear a pin drop in Alaska. A few days ago there was another Igbo hater on Patz TV youtube channel after we watched the vid on banana island and i commented that i thought it would look better taken into account the cost of land.
Then the hate speech started, Igbo man go back to your dirty village, Igbo man if you had houses you would not be in Lagos or Abuja so i just sent Eboh G's video on Abiriba and Onitsha and then one of mine called the True Beauty of Owerri and i asked the hater which village or town should i choose as all our towns and villages are replicas of whats in these videos. The guy or the hater felt so low, he apologised, and he admitted saying , you Igbos come from a very beautiful place O and then he changed his earlier stance to, because you people come from a beautiful place doesn't mean you should complain about other people's towns.
He looked down on Igbos because he had no idea of what our home towns and villages look like. Other Nigerians look down on us because they are non the wiser. Many believe Igbos are in Lagos and Abuja because we have no towns and villages or we still live in mud houses
Part of the point i am trying to make is referenced in one of Warriors songs, ( Onye Mka Mma Akolam Onu) meaning ( person wey i better pass don yab me)
A lot of igbos don't really know their true worth in this world, A lot of Igbos don't really know how beautiful Igboland is. A lot of Igbos and Nigeria as a country don't know that Ala Igbo has the most beautiful and developed towns and villages on the African continent.
A lot of Igbos don't know the amount of world wide recognition that EBOH MEDIA has brought to ALA IGBO. That's why for years i have encouraged Nde Igbo to continue to promote positive images about Ala Igbo.

Why are coming to tell igbos on this platform your misguided preaching, why don’t you go and tell the Hausa Fulani who have systematically marginalised the igbos for more than 50 years. Igbos are not allowed to be Nigerian, a fundamental right of every Nigerian is to aspire to attain to any positions. The igbos cannot aspire to be president, chief Judge of Supreme Court and many sensitive roles. Yet igbos are not allowed to go and have their own country. Saving your preaching for another day with your one Nigeria myth, Nigeria is the most tribalistic nation on earth that are deeply divided on tribal lines.

Odogwu nwoke daalu!!!
Ala igbo amaka
This is a very good question to ask , although I think the truth would be too hard for most people to accept!
I am glad you titled your video “Igboland” and nothing else !
As attractive as it might sound to some Igbo’s and the so called biafra activists , an igboland as a country would struggle terribly!
Igbo’s thrive very well today , because they ARE a part of larger entity called Nigeria !
Igbo traders are just about everywhere else in Nigeria, and they have been like this since well before independence!
Igbo people are indeed one of some 260 other ethnicities in Nigeria!
And that’s where their current success stems from!
An Igbo trader in Alaba in Lagos is not selling solely to Igbo people, it is the vast majority of other Nigerians that needs the goods and services of the industrious Igbo, that makes them wealthy!
I don’t believe that this can be replicated solely in an Igbo country!
How would An igboland as envisaged survive as a nation with no access to the sea? With no land borders with any other African country , as it would be totally surrounded and encircled by Nigeria !
Even a very friendly neighbouring Nigeria would feed fat from tariffs earned from taxing igboland!
An aeroplane flying from say Doula or Chad or Cameroon would enter Nigerian airspace before it can land in igboland, international tariff laws allows Nigeria to charge for entry into her airspace, which won’t be the case now as igboland is part of Nigeria !
Igboland will have no access to the sea! Although it has numerous rivers, a hostile Nigeria can dam any river it wants from the coastal waters and there in nothing igboland can do !
So the seaports of Lagos/Port Harcourt/Calabar/Uyo would feed fat from proceeds earned from goods earmarked for Igboland in the interior !
Very much in the manner of the blockade that was used to starve “biafrans” during the civil war !
Supplies of food and medicine were stopped as indeed were supplies of arms and ammunitions!
So despite their zeal and grit , biafra was totally strangulated !
As Nigeria is constituted today, only two areas of the country can “enjoy” a secession, and those are Crossriver/ Akwa Ibom as one entity ( former South Eastern state) and (to a very much lesser degree, Lagos state ( as it is constituted today with its 20 million diverse people!
Lagos as an Awori nation or even an entirely Yoruba state would struggle terribly!
And if anyone thinks Oduduwa as a complete Yoruba entity would be a success story needs to go back into ancient history!
Some of the most formidable inter- tribal wars recorded in modern day Nigeria were fought in Yoruba land !
The South Eastern state “Crossriver/Akwa Ibom is probably the best or should I say a better option!!
As a country of her own, she would have internal diversity of its people ( this is of utmost important) , she would have multiple access to the sea and also share a land border with Cameroon !
It has ample oilfields and massive agricultural land especially in Crossriver!
Not so much Igboland!
It’s a lofty thought, but a landlocked Igboland totally surrounded by another country would struggle terribly as a nation state!
My take !
Like you, I am happy that the video was named 'Igboland' and not 'Biafra' or any combination of the two. You are entirely right in your analysis. But it is a difficult and very delicate matter for any member of Ndi Igbo to voice that opinion. So allow me to commend you. I write as one who was in secondary school during the civil war and lost at least one good friend who died in 1968 at the age of 14 fighting in the bitter 'Battle of Onitsha.' I have been privileged since then in my profession as a global business journalist and analyst to understand that there is no way that secession would work, for many of the reasons that you have outlined and more! Indeed, I cannot think of a single example where it has. In Yugoslavia, the break up of the country into its constitution parts led to a horrific civil war in the 1990s. The break up of Czechoslovakia led to the impoverishment of the Czech and Slovak republics. And in Africa, no one can say that the secession of South Sudan from the Muslim majority nation has been a success. Nor indeed has the splitting away of Eritrea from Ethiopia. As you rightly point out the first thing that will be done if a Biafran republic is declared is that the borders will be sealed. We will be lucky to have access to Port Harcourt, much less Calabar or any other sea port. An air link will hardly be capable of sustaining our population. In any event we will be at the mercy of Abuja whose navy and airforce could blockade Biafra at will. Those of you old enough to remember Uli airstrip will remember that relief flights were limited and could only land by night for fear of being shot down, as some were! And who are these politicians that will lead Biafra into the 'promised land'? Is it not the same politicians that we have now? Solutions to the problems facing Ndi Igbo will only be found when those of temperate character are ready to take the 'emotional' heat out of the debate. In this regard we should play to our strengths, not our weaknesses. Our strengths include the fact that as a people our commercial instincts and manufacturing abilities are unrivalled within the Nigerian entity! We should promote that and seek ways to act within the wider Nigerian polity to our advantage. I personally would like to see a 'Hong Kong' style solution, meaning 'one nation two systems'. Mainland China allows Hong Kong to succeed because it is in their advantage to do so. Our weakness, also the weakness for Hong Kong, is that we are small. That means that if we try to take on the rest of Nigeria, head on, we are bound to lose. The citizens of Hong Kong understand this in their relationship with Beijing and mostly disavow politics in order to concentrate on their economy. We can learn a lesson from this.
@@nnamdianyadike3131 You my guy, you are blessed! This is the most coherent and unemotive feedback that i have read !
Most times agitators are hostile, crude, abusive !
They would arrogate or designate a tribe for you !
But yours is an embodiment of erudition and common sense!
I can’t thank you enough for your civility as well as your factual take on the subject matter!
I would agree with some points but you're underestimating Igbos also Biafra DID exist (as did Oduduwa etc.) and it was very successful, they were only drawn back for British gain so... Today there are many options available i.e. the United Kingdom which has 4 countries but is still identified as 1 and it works better than all the countries being 1 country only. If that makes sense. Currently, there is strong self-identity and nationalism of Biafrans which aids its success and natural formation as a unique entity, such is not present in Nigeria (excluding Lagos, which is ideally what a combined culture looks like) as a whole due to the excess cultural diversity (leading to the divergence of identity), so I go back to the UK idea. But it's all in God's hands.
@@praiseline8279 Praiseline, biafra “existed” for all of 30 months from 1967 to 1970 as an attempted secession!
The name biafra was acquired from the coastal feature which extends from Rivers in present day Nigeria to Equatorial Guinea !
And it is not an Igbo word or name , biafra is a corrupted version of the name Mafra and it was named by the Portuguese after a town in Portugal!
It has no correlation to Igboland in any form!
It did seem plausible (at the time) because of Nigeria’s geopolitical structure of 4 regions ( for administration purposes)whereby the Eastern region did have the areas of present day Akwa Ibom, Crossriver, Bayelsa and Rivers , but they were not known as biafra and neither were they one entity!
Indeed the federal government of the day ,restructured the country from 4 regions into 12 states, before the first bullets were fired !
Indeed prior to the biafra war, there was a more spontaneous and impactful revolution among the Oil Rivers people (Ijaw/Kalabari) , an attempt to create the Niger Delta republic, which didn’t want to have to answer to Lagos(federal republic capital) or to Enugu( Eastern region capital)
It was evident that the Niger Delta minorities didn’t like or want igbo domination and wanted out of the Eastern region since way back in the 50’s!
And this had been birthed by a proactive minority rights activism in Nigeria !
Indeed the 12 states structure placated and pacified both northern and southern minority groups in Nigeria !
A lot of chronic political miscalculations by some political actors (including igbos) in the early 1960’s was what brought a newly independent nation in to full scale war within 6 to 7 years of its independence!
Prior the the British colonisation, Igbo’s were a very politically fragmented ethnic group, with different centralised chiefdoms!
The much saluted Igbo sense of ethnic pride and ethnic identity of today did not exist in the olden days !
Indeed, this is not particular to the Igbo’s alone!
British colonial rule made us firstly to be aware of our various immediate ethnicities, and then by extension, our Nigerianness!
But here is the summation Praiseline, Nigeria has nearly 300 distinct ethnic groups, each with their own language and customs, of course with the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa being the largest 3!
It is this tripod stand mentality ( imposed on us by the British) that has fuelled the repeated secession ideology from essentially the big 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria!
I believe it is archaic, tribalist , primitive and backwards!
Balkanisation, secession, just like military coups, are outdated and primordial!
If after a mere 6 years of independence, we didn’t manage to split up, we are not going to do it now after 60 years of independence and 106 years of amalgamation!
Make everybody go drink beer!

This region in Nigeria as an Igbo land to be a country in is own is out of context because the Igbo land is inside Nigeria not at the side or the edge of Nigeria, when we take a look at the map of Ss Sw Se Nigeria we see that the land which are in the edge are S W and E..; Delta Igbo State, Ijaw, Bayelsa State-Itsekiri, Cross River State-calaba, Akwa Ibom State, Edo State, this regions are in the adge of Nigeria between the ocean which surrounded Igbo land, so the Igbo land is in the middle of this regions, which a country ain't be inside country, except those regions that are in the edges as S W E will join Igbo to separate from Nigeria, this is the only way a country can devide from Nigeria, country inside Nigeria is out of context...?

I don't see Rivers, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and all of Delta State here. Dim Ojukwu was very diplomatic, respectful and clever. He successfully managed to carry about 90% of the original indigenous people of Biafra along in OUR STRUGGLE between 1966/67 to 1970. But now, any suggestions or words of advise are met with insults and threats. Sadly, the enemy is watching and gloating over our divisions on social media. I hope the youth can be more mature and pragmatic and less insulting of the Biafran Elders or whosoever offers words of caution. Please use other resources other than violence and try and get it right without being slaughtered like before. We are monitoring Nigeria and we know that Buhari is rapidly building up militarily. But we WILL STOP ANOTHER GENOCIDE AGAINST OUR PEOPLE! Finally, we should learn from the strategy of the State of Israel , and resort to violence only when we have carefully done your homework to ensure that our losses will be NOTHING or very MINIMAL.
