        Yet we tolerated each other for over 50 years? The issue is your brothers don't want to leave.

        @BBCAfrica a new leader indeed.This is just a confused man who at a time was advocating for Nigeria unity in 2012 and now saying otherwise.

        Nonsense. Am Igbo and 98% of Ndigbo I know see Biafra as an ideology not a secessionist movement. We are Nigerians, and proudly so.

        Well, it went so well last time, why not do a redux? We don't have #Qwickfone in #Nigeria yet - but they're gonna need it.

        The geographical space known as Nigeria would be better for all in it if we coexist and not forced to "unite" as a country..
