Can Igbo people speak with one voice?

Following several incidence that happened in Nigeria many people put a question about that can Igbo people speak with one voice?


This can be a simple question to answer by considering the situations that Igbo people are currently, ranging from demanding presidency coming to their demand for an independent country.



Igbo are unique people if we compare then with other Nigerian tribes, Yoruba people in one way has a good understanding with Hausa people as in the case of Fulani are very closely with Hausa people.


Many good businesses are taking place between people from northern Nigeria which are predominantly Hausa Fulani with their colleagues from south western part of the country who are predominantly Yoruba.


But the businesses between northerners and south Eastern people who are 90% Igbo we can described it as less as compared with other region.


Mutual understanding among the people is positively help in having good relationship and helping each other, I know many people may ask why this question.


Igbo people lacks mutual understanding between them and other Nigerian tribes, and for any region to got presidency in Nigeria they must collaborated with other region.


Northerners must collaborated with south west people or southern east peoples before having a presidency, the case will be same with all other regions.


Igbo people along will never got a seat of presidency in Nigeria unless they collaborated with northern region or South western region.


But are they agreed with this allegation? Are they going to tell truth to themselves? Are they ready to collaborate with north or south west? Are they ready to speak with one voice of Nigerian Igbo people?


These above questions must be answered by the Igbo people  if their willingness of demanding presidency is truth.


Nigeria will be  considered as diversified nation with several ethnic groups and different religion, where one single ethnic group will never be the head of the country unless having mutual agreement among groups.


Igbo people are the third among the more than 300 languages we have in the country, Igbo alone will never fulfilled their desired with out collaboration with other ethnic groups.


To tell truth we are now waiting for 
 their verdict of whether to collaborate with Hausa people or Yoruba people in seeking Nigerian presidency.
