atlwireles: a quote from Isaac Adaka Boro Autobiography (wriiten himself). Read Chapter 5 - Campus Politics http://www.adakaboro.org/the12dayrev/chapter-5-campus-politics. This was the campaign statement of his opponent for UNN SUG presidency: "My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority. These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest." |

Why do people keep screaming Igbo is forcing non Igbo SS to be part of Biafra. I think we Igbo are smart enough not to force these people because it will bring us more harm than good. We will take our brothers in Anioma and the rest in Rivers,Akwaibom ,Cross River and Benue. Again,nobody is begging or forcing Niger delta or whatever they call it to be part of Biafra....There will be a referendum and everybody can decide where they want to belong,simply. 3 Likes 1 Share |

OdenigboAroli: Anioma people are mostly from Benin not Igbo. Anioma is not a single ethnic group. Anioma is a word coined recently. They only had culrural interraction with igbo over time thus d similarities. This issue have been discussed several times on this forum. I know as far as you are concern Jesus Christ is from Nnewi!! Below is a short History of Agbor (Ika in Anioma) thepointernewsonline.com/?p=15886 Again, we hear from Osita Mordi that “The supposed provocation which Chief Egharevba referred to which induced Oba Ovonramwen to prepare a declaration of war was not because Agbor had revolted against the rule of Benin but because Agbor had blocked all channels through which the Benin collected royalties from the Southern Esan clans demanding that a share of such royalties should come to them (Agbor)”. The history of Agbor like other communities is based on oral tradition. Popular oral account of the community therefore traces its origin to Ogunagbon, the believed founder of Agbor who left Benin with his followers and first settled in Ominijie, located in present Agbor Nta (Emeka Esogbue, 2008). This makes Agbor Nta Agbor’s oldest settlement. One of his chiefs was to later settle in an area known as Agbon. The word “Agbon” means “Earth” or “Land”. |

Ugomba: www.edoworld.net/Origin_Of_Delta_Igbo_Indisputable.html Re: Origin Of Delta Igbo Indisputable -Uwuechue I will like to state that the people of eka and agbor have always guarded their culture with fiercely in the face of all oppositions , we as eka people know where we come from and we are proud of our origin , we have a long history of kingship and culture that is why many people will not let us be , it is not new for a tribe to have two or more ancestory , e. g . take itshekiri , they have both benin and yoruba ancestory , but that does not make them benin or yoruba , today , they are know as itshekiris . but the founding father of their tribe was the a benin prince called iginua , son of oba olua of benin . we as ika people of agbor and owa will not wish to be drawn into stupid arguements with those who do not know our history and who do not know our culture and whose sole arguements rely on nearness of language as a proof of where a people come from , if he is a historian then he or she will know that changes in language can occur due to large migrations or trade or due to other factors . please can any one tell me what agbor means in igbo language ? going back to history agbor was called ogungunagbon or agbon , which means earth in benin language and the british changed it to agbor in 1906 . ,most eka founders or founders of agbon were benin princes and people from ishan land in ancient times and later other groups of migrants came from igbo land , some from yorubaland e. t. c . it will interest you to note that most of agbor and ika culture and traditions came from benin and edo areas . we call GOD- oselobue , we believe in ehi as our guardian spirit as the benin do, we perfom festivals like igue -new year , ogbanigbe , osi-ezi and ugboze . we dress like binis and maintain same dances like ojerima, okangan and uje like binis . our traditional gods are same as theirs like ovia, uhunmwunde, idigun, olokun e. t. c . we believe our kings are devine beings from the lineage of olokun and oselobue . our chiefthanct titles are same as benin , iyase, obasogie, obaseki , ihondor , ihama , ezomor , ologbosere et. c . our towns are divided into ebon (umu), idumu and ogbe , in agbor there are two languages spoken ozara and ika , ozara is edoid while ika is a mix of bini and igbo , each town has her history of founding fathers and they are well kept, there are still some titles that if you want to take in some villages today in agbor you must go to benin , where the original founder came from to collect things and receive blessings of approval . it will interest you to note that all ika and agbor kings are benin princes and the present dein of agbor is same royal blood family with the omonoba of benin . but all these do not make us binis , although in the past we bore benin tribal marks ,but today we are eka people , we are not binis or igbos , but we know where most of our ancestors came from , no proper ika man will want to be refered to as igbo , but properly as ika people . we the ika people share both igbo and bini cultures that is why we still have igbo names like ngozi , okechukwu and the likes , but we still have our benin names too like irabor , obaigbena , ovia, osagie etc. this is our heritage and we are proud of it, looking at my family history of about 800 years i saw all my ancestors were having benin names from omigie, agbontaen, ehiabor, imade, osaigbovou, efeizomor, okundaye , ebie, ogbe, e. t. c , so one day i asked my father why and he told me that our fore-father was the son of a prince from benin,and that our people from our village in idumu-ezomor were children of ezomor the great warrior general from benin who assisted oba esigie of benin to quell the ida war . some times it is good for people to consult natives of a place and ask them of their history , before the write on it. anioma is a big place , i know the igbo language plays a part in anioma history , but not all aniomas migrated from igboland and their are about 11 languages spoken there like ozara, ika, olokumi ( old yoruba), igalla, aboh, etc . that is the reason why no proper ika man will join any group like ohaneze, we have our own group called the ika group ,while we support anioma ,we also believe that those who can trace their ancestory to igboland should join the group, but we will like to say we the agbor and ika people should be left alone as we are a seperate people called ika . i am happy that this is bearing fruit as on delta radio there is now news in ika language as a different languge , ikas have commenced writing the bible in ika language and right now the gospel of mark, luke , mathew and john have been published and we have books on ika languge right now ,during the colonial times our people resisted the celebration of igbo day in ikaland, i want to state that the agbor people even though we have cultural afinities with some of our neighbours like ogwashi, ubulu-uku , asaba , i will like to say we are very different from them ,. we are ika people , we are not binis neither are we igbos . please take note 2 Likes |

Is it because we are not so noisy about it d way you guys have be claiming victim in d civil war? Afterall d root cause of d war came from u guys killing d leaders in North and west and sparing ur own.I did not say FG soldiers did not commit genocide against Igbo. Yes FG Soldier committed Genocide against Igbo. But Igbo or Biafra soldiers committed the same genocide against today south south people. Truth must be said.

This write is so true that my Igbo bro cannot stomach it. Come to think of it, why do Igbo always want to take SS with them. The answer is GREED AND SELFISHNESS. They know their chance of survival is slime with SS out side their Biafra. They covet the sea, the oil, and other natural resources. It the SS made the mistake of going with the BIG MOUTH PEOPLE, they will become second class citizen, In fact, Nigeria will be heaven for them in comparison. Truly, why is Yoruba not claiming Edo and Delta, despite obvious similarities in culture and language? Because Yoruba do not need Edo and delta to compliment their inadequcies, but Igbo need SS or they will be the poorest country in the world, not because they can't work and make it, but because everybody will leave and go search for greener pastures elsewhere. |

BishopMagic:The republics of Biafra and the Niger Delta is a welcome replacement to the current SE/SS trash. All Igbos and Igboids would be in Biafra while Niger Delta would be for the non Igboid tribes of the SS.the Niger delta sells crude to us while we sell technology to them.
