Which one be autonomous community again,this our brothers self…community is a community,so this autonomous community now if they get Biafra e no go be part of am.

It is rampant in the east. They are built on the following premise: a false belief that it brings development much faster than having just one community. Forgetting that allocation is done on local government level.
Two everyone wants power as such the more the community is split the easier it is for those power hungry vermins to get their ego massage.

However, what they failed to understand is that this is the same classic method the British used to weaken Africa by splitting people of the same origin into smaller units. Giving them the false idea that they are different so instead of being one big force to reckon with they are spread thin, into smaller and easy to manipulate unit. Just the way Kano emirate was split for political reasons. I really don't know the day Igbo people will learn.

Lol.


This is an example of when the purpose of clarity, makes sense.

There have to be a general sense on how to proceed together as a civilization, a progressive one at that. It would be wise, if everyone can not and should not solely do their own thing, at every chance. especially, non cultural things. There have to be general consideration of others, nwanne, nwanna, etc, in of fairness and equality. Isolation policy is not a progressive way as a nation. We have to do LCM of all Igbo clan similarities, and then find creative and fair ways from there, and let our laws be guided by them.


Tell me, what is the meaning of autonomous community within a community? This is the rot of confusion that most igbos have self inflicted or others inflicted.
