One day I was travelling from Ondo to Ilorin, I drove through Ado Ekiti, then the expressway outwards Ado was under construction, a stone hit my radiator and it started leaking. I didn't know until I got to a village between Ekiti and Ilorin. A proper village with mud houses

Sheep and goats etc. Car temperature was on red. I started looking for glue and bags or "pure water" to top up. In this village I saw a small shop, it was owned by an Igbo guy. In my mind, I was like, how on earth will an Igbo guy, not yoruba not Ekiti choose to stay here..

The guy had been living there for years. He moved from Ado to start his business in the village. A village with no light, water or any form of recreation. I got the shocker of my life when I went to my own village and realised that the popular chemist was owned by an Igbo guy.

Last month, I called a friend in Maiduguri and I asked him how he manages to get spare parts, electronics etc. He said Igbos still have some stores even though some of them moved out of Maiduguri but they are coming back. For where war dey o..

Igbos are in Sokoto and Zamfara. Chief Umeh an Igbo man was a former Special Adviser to Governor Bafarawa of Sokoto state. Sharia didn't deter them from living in Sokoto. They have an Eze Ndigbo in Sokoto, Chief Obijiaku is the Eze Ndigbo of Zamfara, he lives in Zamfara.

A lot of you that have never stepped out of your local govt in since you were born, don't know how integrated the country has become overtime. If you go to Kano, the population of the Igbo community in Kano will surpass 3m. The population of Igbos living outside the South East

Will probably be equal or slightly lower than those in the region. When you sit down in your LG and start analysing Nigeria with your limited opinion and myopic sight, you are bound to misbehave and "misyearn"
If a referendum is called today, what do you think will happen?

Those calling for violence have no clue.
