Or what is all the denigration of other Nigerians on this forum all about?. Are your topics generally limited to tribal issues?
I noticed someone had copied and used certain derogatory lines from a white supremacist website. He or she merely replaced the words "black africans" with Yorubas!. Are you guys that desperate?, or just thinking this tribal tirades will boost your collective self-esteem?.

Get this right! The Igbo does not wish to be associated anymore with the so-called other nigerians. Our decided preference is to be left alone as a nation in the State of Biafra to practice our culture and industry, and, maybe, export industrial goods and services to nigeria on mutually agreed terms. The forced association with nigeria has crippled Biafra's ability to show the difference - started during Biafra - an Igbo man can make to raise the competitiveness of blacks among all the nations of the world.
This board does not engage in business as usual. Please don't get into that tired one-nigeria talk here.

Brother Amadi I couldn't have put it any better to Black Mambazo. You told it like it is, we just want to be left alone. If People like Black Mambazo doesn't like it too bad.
I don't agree with Amadi. We do need to stay as members of the Nigerian family unless things don't change i.e Onye Igbo not elected the next President of Nigeria. But for now, no need to leave our dear "fellow" Nigerians that we got freed from the British.

You have misdiagnosed the nigerian sickness. The problem is not a four-year rule by an Igbo efulefu, like Mr. incompetent himself, achike udenwa, who will simply be a figure head controlled from the Sokoto caliphate. Even this undesirable outcome is such a major uphill task for those willing to throw mud with the nigerians that I caution you to put no stock in it.
But for nigeria to see the light of day and become a nation, you must contract out or outsource the administration of the entire country to an Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu-like Igbo, for at least 10 years, who will reach into the Igbo culture for industry and hardwork and design a system to produce food and nutrition for the people. And, like in Biafra, begin to rebuild home-grown technology using Igbo know-how, including indegenous telecommunication systems, civilian goods, military hardware, such as Ogbunigwe or "Ojukwu bucket", guided Biafran missiles and gunboats, made famous during the war and designed to protect the nation. The incentive in this system will encourage wealth creation and favor risk takers, not the current patronage system that rewards loafers like olusegun obasanjo, and oddly, punishes the invisible Igbo hand, who actually sets out to increase the volume of the economy.
Then, the law and discipline must be enforced in a Biafran-like liberal environment devoid of alafin this, saduana that. You can see that this is quite a chunk. Do you think the top-down prostrating Oduduwa and caliphate systems are ready for that? This has been the unaddressed question from the beginning, my brother.
Biafra all the way!!!

Can someone from Ibadan, Lagos, Binin, Asaba, Enugu, Aba, Onitsha, Owerri, Nnewi, Port Harcourt or Warri move freely without fear in Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, Maiduguri, Zamfara or Katsina? Be honest and answer this question.
Let's stop deceiving ourselves with these one Nigerian thing.
Much as I would not travel to Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia,I wouldn't venture into Kano, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Zamfara or Katsina. Remember, for one to be a Nigerian, one must be able to move freely within Nigeria. Who is a Nigerian then?

Black Mambazo, You are wellcomed on board. This is the place we Igbos tell the world, what Igbos are going through in Nigeria in an unmistakeable terms. Igbos have paid very dearly for being part of that entity in Africa called nigeria. I can liken our situation to that of Isrealis who are surrounded by Arabs who hate them just for being Jews.
If you care, you may want to do some reading on NIgeria's history in any public library. The Igbos are the only tribe that have made honest effort and sacrifice to make NIgeria work, since the creation of this dangerous country called Nigeria. Igbos have sacrificed all they have, just to make Nigeria work and yet other tribes who are the spoilers conspired against the Igbos.
Igbos are killed in thousands every year in the northern and western part of nigeria in the watchful eyes of the so-called leaders. What you are reading on this site has nothing to do with tribalism, but the voice of Igbos who are sick and tired of our plight in Nigeria, and want to be left alone,so that we can develope at own pace without hindrance.
I am certain that someday IGBOS in nigeria will be free. It took the former soviet union seventy years to realize that the union was not working.

Black Mambosa: I think you asked the right question with the wrong heading. By that I mean that there's was NO attempt nor is there any to make this board a place where Igbos are made to be seen or perceived as "superior" to any other race in Nigeria.
That being said, I think the very reason that brought this board to be makes it mandatory that we dont allow others from other parts of Nigeria to say things elsewhere without we using this board to either counter it or make our own view known FROM THE IGBO PERSPECTIVE. When you go to the root of the reason why this board was founded (thanks once again to the Founders), you will notice that it came to be because when those like Nwa Aro (who where then refered to as "tribalists" by the so-called one Nigerians) disagreed with what most members of the now dead Nigeriaworld.com, alias egbeomoduduwa sold AS THE UNTIMATE TRUTH (mostly by people of Yoruba descend), any attempt to correct or challenge them with SUPERIOR ARGUMENT either earned the Nwa Aros a censorship or a complete banning. So to that extend, it is normal and necessary that this board remains a reference point for Igbo-related matters.
Haven said the above, but since the founders of this great forum where so magninamous to name this website Biafra-Nigeria-World, it beholves on us all to allow people from other parts of Nigeria and infact the entire world to come here and air their views WITHOUT UNNECESSARY MOLESTATION. That has been and will continue to be my stand. For put simply, what it is all about is A MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS; and that is what makes us Igbos great, not "supreme" as you suggested BY THE MISLEADING HEADING OF THIS THREAD.
Finally, welcome on board.

Does MeBiafran, the self-styled conqueror of Yoruba/Benin and Hausa, agree with you? MeBiafran says that Igbos are the "master race." But, why is the master race begging for Biafra instead of just taking it?

BIG Tunde: Please dont plant a SEED OF DISCORD between I and my good friend/brother MeBiafran.
Just as Nwa Aro has HIS OPINION, so does MeBiafran and anyone else do AND SHOULD. The plurality of thinking amongst we Igbos is in itself what makes us (Igbos) GREAT(not "supreme".) How I wish other Nigerian nations (hate to call them 'tribes' as the whiteman want us to be known) were so blessed like the Igbos in this regard.

Amadi, it seems your mind is still in the biafran years of 1967-1970 where issues like "Ojukwu bucket, guided biafran missiles" were the talk of the day.
Please, leave the past and come to the present. Let us look unto the present and see how Ndi'Igbo can gather their strength together and build a sovereign nation.

Unfortunately Ndi'Igbo even till today is no better than a man bowing down to his Sardauna or Emir, because too many of our igbo brothers and sisters are bowing down to the so-called god's of the land, indulging in various superstitious religious systems (such as Python cult, Ikenga cult, Ozu system and other juju-religions). Ndi'Igbo must first get rid of these ridiculous cults before Ndi'Igbo can successfully rebuke anyone bowing down before an Emir or Sardauna.

Folks, Let us focus on the question posted on this thread, so as not to dabble into unecessary uncalled for issues.

The entire black industrial growth on the homeland folded when the Republic of Biafra temporarily ceased to operate in 1970. Except for the technical achievements the Igbo/Biafrans and a few others, have made in the West, can you name any black nation that has moved forward since 1970 using homegrown know-how like Biafrans?
Once again, this board is very clear-headed about the Biafran wish to be left alone in the State of Biafra. This decision was made following a thorough examination of failed Igbo efforts to build a common nation with the nigerians. Biafrans do not want to go backward with the new generation who want to try the failed idea of one nigeria.

Could any had said it better? This “Black Mambazo” is none other than “othniel.” I ‘m still waiting for the yoruba to explain their twisted origin to the world forget the Igbo for a brief moment and talk about the bini/yoruba ancestral altercation.
Black Mambazo, aka, othniel/Biafara: (your registration dates [June 04] betrayed you). An unbiased neutral registrant hardly would be informed of these exchanges only someone who’s been an active participant would come to your wrong conclusion in such a short time.
Big Tunde:
Tell us, could the yoruba/awusa/bini had attempted going to war without the U.S., Russian, British help? All you bunch of thieving wimps must tell us whether you dropped from heaven as claimed by your clueless Ooni or a runaway criminal from bini land? "Sir! I remain A Loyal Servant." Oba of bini.
Great point by Rick
Nwa Aro, how na?
quote:...and that is what makes us Igbos great, not "supreme" as you suggested BY THE MISLEADING HEADING OF THIS THREAD. - Nwa Aro
I respectfully disagree with reference do not let these wicked evil look like they have a point because they rarely. ”great”“supreme” are one and the same, equal and opposite therefore feel free to use it proudly. The Igbo/BIAFRANS are supreme to the mushrooms they’re forced to live with. Where do their hate come from is it for killing their oba, ooni, or whatever junk they call their rulers? Their warped hatred is borne out of our intellectual prowess I’ll like them to dispute this known fact. Let them address the salient points by Rick & Amadi O then let's sit down and chat about their history and shameful records in the confusion they call nigeria, respectfully.
