"The Igbos agitations and some of the consequences they have to contained with on their Biafra" From the available data on Landmass, the 5 Southeast Igbo states have a total landmass of 33,000sqkm which represent 3.38% of Nigeria total landmass, with a population of 16million +, from the 2006 national population census figures as gazetted, also taking into account the approved 2.8% annual population growth rate, plus the Igbos leaving in other parts of Nigeria, their population at most will be 25millions.
This means If the Igbo's goes home to the so called Biafra they will be living in an area of say worst cohabitation (in a very narrow or small space for habitation and business endeavours) if one divides their population by their landmass, the Igbos will have a population density of 760 people per square kilometer, which is the worst or most populated in Nigeria or say in the world over!) I then imagined with their greed and nature of amassing( land and wealth!) how they will survive it! To have a shelter, industries, farmlands, hotels etc as the way they freely have them on our land without any compensations whatsoever!
On the other hand if they leaved we will
be left with our land more than enough to carter for all the important things of livelihood with ease! And our people will have more than enough businesses to engaged into for their daily survivals, many of which now the Igbo's present denied them such opportunities! I therefore asked who really is doing a favour to the other? Is it we to them, or actually they to us!? A word is enough for a wise! Indeed even for the fools! Dr. Sadiq Abubakar Umar Gombe
