Had Ojukwu Disown The Ikas? by Nobody: 9:09am On Aug 07, 2015 |
While reading through the Sunday Oliseh Igbo denial thread so many things spinned inside my head. It wasn't a thing of susprise hearing such scathing denial from the former eagles captain. Afterall Oliseh is not the first Ika man I have heard making such remark. Neither will he be the last man with Ndokwa marternity to say such words. Still, it didn't come to me as shock despite the large audience he fortunately spoke to at the TEDx talk. While I acknowledge many of my Anioma brothers who still hold the Igbo tag high and my fellow SEastern Igbo who handled their comments with maturity and decoruium in that thread, the likes of Pazienza and co, I still find it apt to spell the bitter truth, of which many of us are reluctant to hear. This bitter truth that I had nurtured in my heart was psychologically spelt out by a fellow comrade, though wittingly but which contains much truth. Excerpts: [b]You do not sit by and watch people denounce you publicly...your pride and name is at stake. Fact is...due to the events that have transpired as a result of this confusion, the issue is not trivial. Let me prove it to you. But consider this too...and please be honest. What if the Igbos from the Eastern Region or say Ojukwu being the SE Region governor in the aftermath of January 1966 had issued the following statement: "We wish to make this known to the whole and Nigerians, the peoples bearing Igbo-sounding names and speaking Igbo dialects in the Mid-Western Region are actually Bini and Igalla people. If you thought they are Igbo, they are not and are actually from a city called Bini, their fathers migrated down and somehow forgot their Bini tongue and just found it expedient to adopt Igbo language, Igbo names, Igbo traditions over their native Bini ones. So we wish to clarify that it was these Bini people called Ikas who killed Ahmadu Bello,Akintola, Balewa, Ademulegun,Shodeinde, Largema,Okotie-Eboh and others. Eastern Region Igbos do not recognize these impostors and Nigerians should be wary of them too." Now how about that? Just like the way Oliseh and the rest are publicly denouncing...aint it okay too? Have you ever wondered why during the civil war campaign, after Asaba indigenes came out singing "One Nigeria" to welcome the Federal soldiers...they were invited to the square, men and boys were separated from women. And then on the orders of Murtala and Ibrahim Taiwo...over 700 of these men and boys were gunned down in one fell swoop. No where in the whole history of the civil war was this repeated, even when the federal troops were taking SE Igbo towns one after the other. The Northern officers knew that the bulk of the officers who killed in cold blood the leaders of other regions were Ikas. Even Ifeajuna from Onicha being Zik's cousin was Anioma...did you know that? The Eastern Region could have saved themselves enormous loss in lives if they had simply taken the route Oliseh and his kinsfolk are taking now...clarify where you belong. Don't you think so? Or lets carry it to a logical conclusion, cos I'm surprised the Igbos in their typical crude manner have not started calling the bluffs of these shameless people. What if where ever the Ikas and Aniomas stand up in a public setting to introduce themselves and announce their names, (and ofcourse it will be some hard core Igbo name)...an Igbo speaker rises up and tells the audience... "don't mind that man bearing Igbo names, he's actually a Bini man bearing an Igbo name.Don't confuse them for Igbos. I do not know why they are not comfortable with their Bini culture and tradition.Please tell them to stop the attachment to anything Igbo". Imagine if the next Nigerian at the Euston Ted talk being an Igbo man had done that. Swell punch..don't ya think.[/b] Source: PabloAfricanus. 6 Likes |

Oliseh is just ignorant and stuupid, when Keshi selected his AfCon squad in 2013 Yoruba and Hausas tagged it Biafra National team because Keshi is from Illah another Aniomatown in Delta State. Do Oliseh think they will treat him like an Ahmed or Segun if he fork up, they will remind him of his root even if he mass produced the TED talk video and distributed for free to who cares. I have friends and family members from Anioma, so Oliseh can be whatever he choses to be like Bruce sorry Caitlyn Jenner did 10 Likes |

AnambraDota: You guys are so incorporated in Igbo that you cannot see through the glasses. Igbos are generally self destructive and derive joy being victims of what they didn't do. When some Delta boys took up arms and assassinated leaders of other ethnic groups, the rest of the country condemned their acts but Igbos hailed them as heroes instead of condemning such. The resultant effect was massacre of Igbos to revenge killing by the uninformed youthful soldiers. Isn't it ironical that same Deltans condemned the coup and resisted Biafra to the last. Today the subject is Jonathan's recent destruction of Nigeria which the entire world including Europe, America and Niger Deltans condemned but alas only Igbos are causing trouble because Jonathan lost. Now I will still tell you that the rest of the country will still unite against Igbos including the Bayelsa where Jonathan comes from. 8 Likes |

Just let the sleeping dog lie. It is a very humbling topic, but let it be. . Time will fix all things. This is just a phase and believe me, it can't get worse than this. There are many ikas who don't tow this line too, even on forum like this. . , their matured approach should comfort you too. . Don't forget, these communities went through hell during the war and were desperate for a rezpite. . That doesn't excuse this behaviour but atleast it provide a base for all to move on. . We in the hinterland should also accept our failures in the larger Nigerian politics. As long as we are still in the periphery, unable to force our way in and wrestle that "cake" away from the hands of our traducers, we lack the bargaining chips to solidify an igbo base that will be all inclusive. Give time, plot strategically, ignore the taunts and ruthlessly pursue ultimate power. . , it is power that dictates. . Don't sweat it bro, igbos know themselves world over. . 3 Likes 1 Share |

[b] ANIOMA AND THEIR FUTURE IN A PROPOSED
NIGER DELTA REGION
Anioma people had always been victims of
domination real or imagined. It dates from the
colonial era. They were balkanized and lumped for
“domestic colonization” by the dominant Bini of old
Benin Province and Urhobo of the old Delta
Province. Abraka , an Urhobo town was at a time
the headquarters of the old Aboh division. Leading
to the neglect of core Ndokwa land while the
Enuanis of Asaba had to fight to get their voice
considered in the old Benin Province. It was
strange that Anioma people throughout its colonial
history was never consistuted into a distinct Igbo
speaking province despite covering an area of over
7,000 km2 with a relatively large and sophisticated
indigenous population.
Today , we have found ourselves mainly in a Delta
State and as usual failed political leadership have
not thought it wise to deliberate on our future in a
Delta State , prospects of an Anioma State and our
future in a Niger Delta region. This is critical
because we are often considered now as a small
minority in Delta State. Nigeria is going through a
very critical time yet our people do not seem to
ask ourselves questions and self-reflect. If Nigeria
is to be restructured into regions could we be better
and stronger position in the present South-south or
in a Southeast? It should be noted that our present
definition as part of Delta does have its own
merits. [/b] 1 Like |
Re: Had Ojukwu Disown The Ikas? by pazienza(m): 10:10am On Aug 07, 2015 |
[b] These includes
1) More Capital for development –Delta is one of
the richest states in Nigeria. Anioma hosts the
state’s capital Asaba and this means a centre that
will it will always attract government attention.
Also Delta workers get one of the fattest salaries in
the entire country. The Niger-Delta (Southern)
region accounts for over 90 per cent of Nigeria’s
oil wealth translating to more than 80 per cent of
the capital rose for the authorities for development.
With the prospect of increment of derivation, the
Niger Delta will be very rich and since an Anioma
town is Delta’s capital, there will be spillover of
some of the development to other Anioma towns
gradually opening up the area.
2) Preservation of our minority identity-Despite
being Igbos, Anioma people kind of cherish their
own distinct sub-identity. Being in a Niger Delta
region could project that identity since it is
supposed to be a region for minorities.
However, there are possible and realistic demerits
involved with associating or being placed in a
Niger Delta region
1) IGBOPHOBISM –Believe it or not , Anioma
people are Igbos. Since the Niger-Delta is projected
as a minority region, this will undermine our
interest . This is unfortunately the situation in the
present Delta State. There are some evidences
suggesting that we are actually the largest group in
the state but anti-Igbo sentiments and indifference
and lack of political will by Anioma elites and
people generally have made us a “minority”. With
an Anioma man as Gov, there is a growing trend to
split Anioma people as if there are 3 different
groups of Ika,” Igbo” and Ukwuani in oder to make
it easier to lord over them and secondly to ensure
they never come together and perpetually remain
as “minorities”. If this trend continues it will have
negative implications for us in a Niger Delta region.
2) POLICY OF DEVELOPMENT- With the policy of
allocating a substantial part of oil revenues to oil
producing areas, Aniomaland will not get that
needed attention for development. This is reflected
in the deliberate allocation of 50 per cent of the
funds via the 13 per cent derivation funds to
DESOPADEC, the duplication of projects, the fact
that the federal government will never take Anioma
alnd as an area of priority for development in the
ethnic-sensitive Niger Delta etc. This also explains
why the NDDC and the Niger Delta Ministry cannot
point to several projects that is worth mentioning
in Anioma land. Also this explains why Anioma
alnd despite its long stretch along the Niger was
not considered to host a single river port because
decision-makers assume that with four seaports at
Warri, Sapele, Burutu and Koko, Delta State is
already well adequately served. [/b] 1 Like |

[b] 4) The next question would be how come the
Ikwerre and other Igbo speaking peoples of Rivers
State are readily accepted as Niger Deltans
whereas Aniomans who are grouped as Igbos
despite some geographical uniqueness. The
answers are as follows –
a)The Ikwerre and other Igbo speaking peoples of
Rivers State tend to be “hostile” to their eastern
Igbo kith and kin. The Anioma on the other hand
especially those from the Aniocha-Oshimili axis
are not or are just indifferent. If the Anioma had
been hostile to their eastern kith and kin, they
would have been regarded as “non-Igbos”. I even
heard from some sources that the Ogba people of
Omoku in Rivers State do not sell land to Igbos.
Anioma people except for a small minority do not
have this kind of mentality.
b)Most “core Niger Deltans” are often intimidated
by the caliber of persons Anioma land has
produced and keep producing. The human capital
is quite rich considering the modest population of
the people. On the other hand, the Rivers Igbos
until recently did not really project themselves as a
very resourceful people. They are too domestic
(tied to Rivers State) and were easily manipulated
by external forces to transfer unfounded hostilities
even to their own detriment. A sort of emancipation
came when Bayelsa was created and they became
without doubt the most powerful political force
within Rivers State. [/b] |
Re: Had Ojukwu Disown The Ikas? by pazienza(m): 10:14am On Aug 07, 2015 |
[b] c) The roles in the Civil war must have played a
part. Anioma people in most part supported their
eastern kith and kin and fought for Biafra
producing thousands of veterans are a result. They
were fully involved in the “Igbo coup” of January,
1966 and suffered in the counter coup of July,
1966. The Rivers Igbos did not play such a role
like the Aniomas. In fact a good percentage of
them, not all of course supported the Nigerian
forces . They are also accused by the eastern Igbo
to have absconded with their properties in Port
Harcourt which is yet another source of conflict.
d) The Anioma people are homogenous being just
of Enuani or Ukwuani stock. This is not the
situation with the Rivers Igbos. The Ekpeye
(Ahoada) speak a dialect which is practically a
distinct Igbo language. Yet you have the Etche
which is clearly related to Owerri axis of Imo and
most Igbos including Anioma would naturally find
the dialect quite intelligible. No special
arrangement has been made to bring the Ogba,
Ekpeye, Etche and Ikwerre together like Anioma
people. They are even scattered in different
senatorial districts. There has been some attempt
to bring the Ogba and Ekpeye as one “Orashi ethnic
group” but bringing them together will require some
time and efforts. With the Rivers Igbo politically
fragmented they cannot pose any threat to the
political interests of their non-Igbo speaking
neighbours. [/b] |

The people who claim every ibo-speaker for their biafra project are deluded. Instead of using persuasion to deal with reality, they paper over the many cracks in igbo society, hoping to impress outsiders with the resulting numbers. Onicha and anioma etc, have always been on the fringes on the core East and were for quite a while, integrated into the Benin Empire. Their path has been different enough historically irrespective of whether they share a language. (Exactly the same problem with assuming everyone in the north is hausa). Perhaps the Peoples of Nigeria who were empire builders in the past, actually learned something in that process that many Igbos have failed to take on. Unity, the power of ideas and persuasion, and the forging of cross cultural ties to enhance power, security and opportunity... 1 Like |
Re: Had Ojukwu Disown The Ikas? by pazienza(m): 10:15am On Aug 07, 2015 |
[b] e) Oil is no longer as expensive as it used to be
but its still a powerful political tool in Nigeria and
the main source of revenue for the federal
government. Oil production from Anioma has
grown substantially since the past few years and if
Anioma had been a state, it would rank as the fifth
most endowed state in oil and gas in the country.
But its still not as substantial as the Rivers Igbo
area. Port Harcourt and Omoku are generally
regarded as oil and gas centers. From our
experience, it seems that the greater oil you have
in your area the more Niger Deltan you become.
f) Anioma is not of strategic interest to the federal
government compared to the Rivers Igbo area. We
dont have massive oil reserves , we are mainly not
Igbophobists and lastly and very importantly we
don’t have any access to the sea. The Rivers Igbos
have all these “advantages”. It is therefore wrong
for anyone to compare the Anioma to the Rivers
Igbos including their interests.
5) If we are we constituted as part of a Niger Delta,
it will bring to question the cohesiveness of the
Anioma people. Some of our detractors would want
to leave us fragmented and the result is that we
will end up being different “ethnic groups” in the
region. Yet another case of divide and conquer.
It should be noted that these are my personal
reflections. Personally I prefer a political alliance
with the southeast. I will write on that in
subsequent write-ups. Opinions are welcomed! [/b] |

owobokiri: I use to think like this too, but recently I had been pondering; of what use is a brother that will only identity with you when the goings are good, but not in Times of adversity? Knowing fully well that the whole world would identify with you when the going is good. I came to the conclusion that such a brother is useless, and one you can do without. If we need to be at the top of our prowess to have the Anioma fully identify with us, then it's safe to say we don't need them, as virtually the whole wide world would identify with us, if we attain such levels. But is the Anioma situation really as simple as I had presented above? The answer is No. Cos within the Anioma, we still have proud Igbos, do we throw the baby with the bad water? No. So, what do we do? Personally, I would embrace any Anioma that accepts his Igbo identity, and simply ignore those with identity crisis. 3 Likes |
