Ogoni land was integral part of eastern region of Nigeria. Besides, prominent Ogoni sons and daughters stood up and be counted as Biafrans. One was even a Biafran ambassador (representative) in London.

Ogonis are not Biafrans, and the non-violent struggle of the Ogoni is far from the violent Biafran revolution. The domination of the Eastern region by the Ibos does not mean Ogonis are Igbos or Biafrans and there is no document to show Ogonis endorsed Biafra.

An estimated 30,000 Ogonis died during the civil war as a result of Ogoni's resistance to Biafran imposition. Ogonis rejected Biafra from the onset because they already had a bitter experience under the Ibos. But some of them were forced to endorse Biafra at the point of death - "aceept Biafra or you die" was the slogan and many had no option.

The Ogoni demands are well articulated in the "Ogoni Bill of Rights" Read the document at: http://www.ogoninews.com/documents-reports/215-ogoni-bill-of-rights

The image above represents an individual artist's impression and not a coat of arm for the Ogoni. Moreover, the Ogoni do not have a coat of arm, Ogonis do have a symbol representing the Ogoni nation.

Once again, Ogonis are not Biafrans. If the Igbos think they cannot fight for their freedom without the involvement of the Ogonis, then they should negotiate and not force people to Biafran membership.

Please if the Ibos want the support of the Ogonis, they should negotiate it and not force people to Biafran membership. That era is gone. Ogonis have since clearly established their identity and moving free from the Nigerian internal oppression which had been prosecuted by the Ibos, Yoruba and Hausa-Fulanis.

Didn't someone say an Ogoni first suggested the name of Biafra?

Besides, the symbol is also used in other places.

God will punish Biafra if it forces any group to join against there will. Would you rather be a nigerian with the yorubas and hausas reminding you that you are a minority, forcing your children and women to drink from polluted streams and telling you that you have no right to own oil wells on your land? or... a Proud Biafran where their is no minority, where precolonial eastern ties are rebuilt, where everyone is equal, where the oil that comes from your land BELONGS TO YOU, where adamu from funtua and tajudeen from oshogbo has no business with the oil in your backyard.
Where you shell and other oil exploiters will take FULL Responsibility for any mess they make on your land (though oil is becoming useless globally, you should be about it.)?

Please remove Igbos from the list of your problems in nigeria. How many Igbo billionaires have oil wells? When Biafra agreed to a ceasefire, the Arewans and yorrobers came in like wolves( claiming that they liberated you from Biafra) and asked to pay back with your blood. That payment is what you've been making for 40 years, with your environment and essence of existence threatened. Almost all yoruba and hausa bllionaires trace their billions to your blood and sweat in the Niger delta. The Igbos have their have their hands clean of your blood. If Ogonis choose Islamic Nigeria over Biafra in the coming referendum, Biafrans will respect their decision.

Lol..... You guys always cum prematurely whenever you hear the name yoruba...

What you guys should know is that unlike in 1967, where the only identity was eastern region, today each tribe has been able create an identity for themselves.

It will be stvpid of you to think all them will align with you. Even during civil war, Adaka boro fought against you.

Some will and some won't (its allowed). You just have to accept this fact instead of trying to create some mischievous impression that all of them are with you i.e living in self denial.

Something tells me you're Ogoni and if you really are..lemme tell you
1]Biafra is a project that's mainly for the Igbos and the Mmoño. I'd not support the inclusion of the Ogoni or Izon bkos it'd not be worth it
2]the Ogoni people deserve to be a sovereign people(though the reality of being surrounded by 3 powerful ethnicities viz Igbo{North}, Izon{West} and Mmoño{East} make this somehow chequered.
3]as Igbos, our seaboard at opobo makes cooperation with the Ogoni essential..and its also in Ogoni's interest to ensure that nothing comes in between this cooperation.
I'd stop here for now...

Forget all this jonze. Its only a very stup1d minority group that will agree to align with greedy lots like you people. If you people can go as far as claiming Lagos, Edo and other tribe's land even in a larger Nigeria and have no single respect for your host communities then woe betide any minority group that fall for your Biafra's soothing words because they will regret such a decision as soon as such a republic is realized and your people will takeover all their lands and properties in the name of one biafra.

You are angry that your age-long lies against Igbos to create enemity in the East no longer works. You claimed the Igbos are greedy lots.
How come the list of the MOST CORRUPT Nigerians of all time is filled with only NORTHERNERS AND YORUBAS and all trace their wealth to oil money of the 'minority' you claim you are protecting.

You yorubas and fulanis claim you are protecting Eastern minorities from Igbos, then you move in packs of wolves to destroy their ecosystem, force their children to drink oil, trade off their land to cameroon? and kill of their freedom fighters that protested against you. Odi and Bakassi are there for eternal referencing.


list of the greediest nigerians, according to CNN. Almost exclusively fulanis and yorrobers. Cretins! you've not seen anything yet. grin

The Ogoni People are not Biafrans and can never be part of Biafra. Hence, we wish Biafrans goodluck in their plight for freedom.
