In fact, it is rare to find an Igbo successful elite who does not have a strong Lagos presence or connection. It is also hard to identify leading Igbo politicians or political operatives today who were not first classified as Igbo Lagosians.

The president of the Islamic republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari will never cease to display monumental ignorance when it comes to issues of self-determination with regards to the Biafran case. Times without number, Muhammadu Buhari couldn't come up with one tangible reason as to why he thinks those agitating for the sovereign state of Biafra should desist from doing so, except from the fact that the present generation of Biafrans craving for freedom were inexistent during the civil war of 1967-1970.

Negotiate Self-Determination with Biafrans – Ozekhome tells Buhari

“In the past, countries that did not separate peacefully, broke up violently. Remember the former Soviet Union USSR, remember the former Yugoslavia, even of recent we have the case of South Sudan and Sudan.
