WHY DO IGBOS WANT TO BREAK OUT FROM NIGERIA?

This is a real, emotional, and complex issue, and majority of Igbos agree on it. Even none igbos who are truthful also speak about it.
This points are so glaring that it is not difficult to research about.

1. Historical trauma (Biafra & the Civil War)
The 1967–1970 Biafran War left deep scars.
Over 3.5million mostly Igbo civilians died, many from starvation.
Many Igbos feel there was no real reconciliation or justice after the war—just “move on.”
2. Perceived marginalization by the Nigerian state
Common complaints include:
Very few Igbo people in top security positions (army, police, intelligence).
Political power imbalance at the federal level.
Claims that federal appointments systematically sideline the South-East.
Whether fully accurate or not, the perception is powerful—and perception drives politics.
3. Infrastructure and economic neglect
Poor federal roads, rail, ports, and industries in the South-East.
No functional seaport for decades despite being a major commercial region.
Many Igbos believe they contribute a lot economically but receive little back.
4. Security failures in Igbo land
Inability (or unwillingness) of the federal government to protect communities from:
Armed attacks
Kidnappings
Violent crime
This fuels the belief:
“If Nigeria can’t protect us, we should protect ourselves.”
5. Political exclusion & presidency issue
Since 1999, no Igbo person has been president.
Power rotation is informal, but many Igbos feel it is deliberately blocked when it’s “their turn.”
This creates the sense of being permanent outsiders in their own country.
6. Targeting and profiling
Claims of:
Harsher military operations in the South-East
Arrests of pro-Biafra activists without due process
This reinforces the feeling of being treated as suspects, not citizens.
7. Strong identity and self-reliance culture
Igbos historically value:
Enterprise
Autonomy
Community self-help
Many believe an independent state would:
Be more accountable
Develop faster
Reflect their values better than Nigeria does
8. Loss of faith in “One Nigeria”
At the core, many separatists simply feel:
“Nigeria is not broken because of bad leaders — it is broken because it was never meant to work.”

1. Use digital banks that charge little or nothing
Many licensed fintech banks give you free transfers or very low fees.

For example, someone who usually pays 26 naira per transfer in a traditional bank can move to a digital wallet and pay zero or just 10 naira. Over a month of heavy transactions, that difference can save you thousands.

2. Switch from SMS alerts to email alerts
Banks charge about 4 to 6 naira for every SMS. If you receive 30 alerts in a month, that is roughly 150 naira gone. Multiply that by 12 months, you are losing almost 1800 naira yearly on messages alone. Go to your bank and switch everything to email alerts which are free.

3. If someone wants to send exactly 10000, ask them to send 9999
Transfers from 10000 and above attract a mandatory 50 naira government levy called the EMT levy.

Example:
If three people send you 10000 each in a day, you lose 150 naira.
If they send 9999 each, you lose nothing.

4. Deactivate your ATM card if you barely use it
Banks deduct card maintenance fees whether you use the card or not.

Example:
If card maintenance is 50 naira monthly, that is 600 naira per year.
If you only do transfers on your app and never use an ATM, deactivate the card and stop paying for what you do not use.

5. Stop storing money in a current account
Current accounts have higher charges. Savings accounts are cheaper for everyday Nigerians.

Example:
Someone keeping 500,000 in a current account may lose up to 1000 naira or more every month in maintenance fees. That same person can use a savings account and avoid most of those charges.

6. Close any account you do not use
Some people have two or three old accounts they no longer operate, yet deductions continue quietly.

Example:
An old student account with an active debit card can still lose money even if you don’t touch it. Close it and free yourself.

7. Avoid using another bank’s ATM
After the third withdrawal, you start getting charged when using an ATM that is not your bank’s machine.

Example:
If you withdraw 5000 five times at another bank’s ATM, you may lose about 35 to 50 naira per extra withdrawal.

8. Use your mobile banking app more than the banking hall
Over the counter transactions in the bank often cost more because of processing fees.

Example:
Withdrawing 10000 via counter can have a charge, but withdrawing from your bank ATM is free within limit.
Sending money via the app is sometimes cheaper than telling a teller to do it for you.

9. Use POS agents wisely
Some POS agents charge just 200 naira for withdrawals below 5000 which is cheaper than doing several ATM withdrawals that attract cumulative fees. Compare prices in your area.

10. Monitor your account constantly
Banks sometimes make deductions you might not notice.

Example:

You might see 52 naira for SMS, 11 naira for VAT, or deductions for failed transfers. If you do not check your statement often, you will never know who is eating your money. Once you see something wrong, go to the bank and demand correction.

Retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Sheriff Abubakar Rabiu Drops Expl0sive Open Letter, Accuses Northern Clerics of Fueling Extrem!sm

A retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sheriff Abubakar Rabiu, has dropped one of the boldest, loudest, and most uncomfortable truths Northern Nigeria has heard in years — and his message is now spreading through mosques like wildfire.

In his fiery open letter, the respected ex-cop accused a section of Northern Islamic cler!cs of:

“Po!soning the minds of our youth with vituperat!ve, inciting and danger0usly divisive sermons.”

He warned that some preachers have turned the pulpit into a battleground, labeling Christians as “arne,” “kafurai,” and “infidels destined for h3ll.”
And he didn’t mince words:

“This is not Islam. This is m@dness. And this m@dness gave birth to Boko Haram.”

Rabiu argued that h@teful preaching, combined with the Almajiri system, has created a breeding ground for extrem!sm:

“An idle mind is the dev!l’s workshop. Those street children begging today will become tomorrow's recruits and fo0t soldiers for terr0r groups.”

He also questioned why Nigeria gets flagged internationally:

“Instead of shouting that Trump is Islamophob!c, ask why America put us on that list.
Try this kind of preaching in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE—even Cameroon—and you’ll be arrested the same day.”

Rabiu called on the President, the National Assembly, Northern governors, and all LG chairmen to urgently enact laws that:

Crim!nalize calling any Nigerian “arne” or “kafir” from the pulpit
✔ Ban street begging by children (Almajiri)
✔ End h@te speech disguised as relig!ous preaching

He warned that failure to act may attract the same global digital w@r that turned Afghanistan and Iraq into ruins.

But he ended with hope:

“If we implement these measures sincerely, Nigeria will return to the peace we enjoyed in the 70s–90s when Muslims and Christians shared meals, drank from the same cup, and buried each other’s de@d.”

This message is loud, raw, and shaking the entire region — and the conversation has only just begun.

WHY IMPEACHMENT IS IMPOSSIBLE IN NIGERIAN STATES AND HOW GOVERNORS OWN ASSEMBLY MEMBERS.

People often ask:

“Why can’t the House of Assembly impeach a bad governor?”
“Why do governors behave like mini-presidents?”
“Why does no governor ever face consequences?”
“Why this and why that.”

Here is the truth nobody wants to say:

IMPEACHMENT IS IMPOSSIBLE. ASSEMBLY MEMBERS ARE PUPPETS.

NOT BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR IS STRONG,
BUT BECAUSE THE ASSEMBLY IS OWNED.

Let me show you how.

1. GOVERNORS FUND THE ELECTION OF MOST ASSEMBLY MEMBERS

Before election day:
-they choose the candidates
-they sponsor them financially
-they provide campaign vehicles
-they fund posters, media and logistics
-they “settle” party officials on their behalf.

So when these lawmakers win, who do they owe?
Not the people. The governor.

That loyalty is the root of the rot. This is why the more expensive elections are in Nigeria, the more puppets and thieves we elect into offices.

2. GOVERNORS CONTROL THEIR FIRST MONTH IN OFFICE

Immediately after inauguration, the governor decides:
-who becomes Speaker
-who becomes Deputy Speaker
-who chairs the “juicy” committees
-who controls oversight powers
-who gets recognized as “loyal”

This is where total control begins.
A lawmaker who fights the governor loses:
-committees
-allowances
-influence
-future tickets
-relevance

So they obey. Ask stubborn house members like our dear Maria Ude Nwachi what they suffered until they were kicked out.

3. THE ASSEMBLY’S BUDGET PASSES THROUGH THE GOVERNOR

Nigerians don’t know this:

The House of Assembly cannot access its own budget without the governor’s approval.

This means:
-salaries
-allowances
-office renovation
-staff payments
-constituency projects
-international trips
-even stationery and fuel

ALL go through the Executive.

Which lawmaker will dare impeach the person holding their oxygen pipe? Isn’t there a saying that he who pays the piper detects its tune?

4. GOVERNORS USE SECURITY VOTES TO BUY SILENCE.

Because security votes are un-audited cash, a governor can:
-“take care” of lawmakers quietly
-pay loyalty allowances
-fund political structures
-silence anyone raising questions

This is why you rarely see any lawmaker asking:

“Where is our security vote going?”
They are beneficiaries of the same system.
Their bulletproof cars are bought by the governor.
Their lavish lifestyle are sponsored by the governor.

5. THREATS, INTIMIDATION & POLICE POWER

A governor controls:
-the police commissioner
-the DSS director
-the state JTF
-local government chairmen
-town unions
-media in the state
-the judges in the state.

A lawmaker who tries to impeach a governor risks:
-arrest
-removal as Speaker
-suspension
-freezing of constituency funds
-blackmail
-physical intimidation
-and most definitely, no re-election.

Most of them simply don’t have the courage to risk any of these things.

6. PARTY LEADERSHIP WON’T ALLOW IT

A governor is the leader of the party in the state.

So if lawmakers attempt impeachment:
-the party intervenes
-national officers call them to order
-godfathers issue threats
-tickets for next election are withdrawn
-local party structures are dissolved.

In many cases, the impeachment attempt dies overnight.

7. EVEN IF THEY TRY, THE GOVERNOR “KICKS THEM OUT”

History shows that:

When lawmakers attempt impeachment,
governors quickly:
-sponsor a parallel faction
-break into the Assembly
-seal the chamber
-use police to chase lawmakers away
-reconvene with loyal members
-“impeach” the Speaker
-install a puppet
-kill the process

It happens in Nigeria repeatedly because the governor controls all the political structures and there’s so much in his hands to buy anyone, and mostly importantly, they are protected against other attacks by immunity.

So, a governor can literally lock out lawmakers and install a loyal Speaker within hours.

8. IMPEACHMENT NEEDS 2/3 MAJORITY. IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE GOVERNOR OWNS 85%

To impeach a governor, you need:

Two-thirds of the entire House.

Most governors entered office with:
-22/24
-18/20
-15/17
-27/30
loyal members.

Even if 4 or 5 go rogue, nothing happens.
The math always favors the governor.

This is why:
-security votes disappear
-IGR evaporates
-local governments die
-contracts are inflated
-budgets are padded
-projects are abandoned
-states remain insecure
-corruption grows unchecked.

Governors rule like emperors because the institutions meant to check them have collapsed. The House Assembly Members are more like their employees.

THE REAL QUESTION WE MUST NOW ASK IS:

If lawmakers cannot hold governors accountable and the people cannot hold lawmakers accountable who is protecting the state?

The answer to this question is painful:

Nobody.

Another third chance for the super eagles of Nigeria as World Football governing body FIFA is set to disqualify D.R Congo for fielding an ineligible player in England born right back Wan Bisaka who was never cleared by FIFA to represent D.R Congo but he played.

The match will be awarded to the super eagles of Nigeria 🇳🇬 as a result of D.R Congo fielding an ineligible player.

As it stands Nigeria 🇳🇬 will be heading to the playoffs final where they will face either New Caledonia or Jamaica.

Maybe this is God of 3rd chance.
