Armaggedon:
you are not ikwerre. You dont even know the make up of Rivers state.

Many ikwerres are proud igbos. Even at that most ikwerres that deny their igboness dont flaunt it online like you do b'cos they know they cant defend their argument.

See this one..

FreeGlobe:

where we you during the protest yesterday? Why will you allow biafrans to protest in ikwerre? It seems there is nothing to your noise on nairaland

Did you expect to be shot? Are you intent on creating scandal or what?. The govt of Rivers state isnt irresponsible, the protesters have now been given a warning by the govt which is the responsible thing to do.

If they have bile, let them dare us and protest again, no one will blame us now.

So after threatening fie and brimstone on anybody that brings biafra to port harcourt... you go to hide in the confines of your office.. real yoruba trait... you must have a yoruba lineage... It's not bad though because those guys would have lynched you yesterday

IGBOSON1:


^^^Please don't display your ignorance for the entire world to see!

For every Ikwerre who goes out of his way to claim not to be Igbo, i can show you one who has decided not to buy into the lie sold to him by Igbo haters who see Ndigbo as the last obstacle on their way to claiming their war booty and maintaining the status-quo that continues to give them an unfair advantage over the rest of us!

When Igboland was balkanised in 1967 -with parts of it placed in Rivers state to deny Ndigbo access to the sea and deny us access to our God-given natural resources- where Ndigbo invited for the discussion!? The delineation was done by Hausa/Fulani with help from their Yoruba friends! Fastforward a couple of decades later and you're now telling me i should accept the boundaries and decisions arrived at by the very people that hate me? You must be off your rocker mate!

For your information, Ndoni, Egbema and Obigbo are Igboland! The fact that slaves like you have decided to kowtow to the wishes of the arrogant and wicked 'owners of Nigeria' and their southern assistants is entirely your business, but never in your enslaved life posit that Igboland does not extend into Rivers state!

D question is,r dese pipul u claim to b igbo ready to come bk to u?

IGBOSON1:


^^^Look who's calling one a bigot! A debased pogrom loving spawn of lucifer calling someone a bigot!?......Joke of the century!

Listen mate! Igboland depends on absolutely nothing from toerags like you!

I guess you're not conversant with the strafing and bombing raids carried out on farms, markets and schools by the Egyptian mercenaries your evil kinsmen brought into the war when it was becoming clearer as the months went by that Nigeria couldn't defeat Biafra in a clean fight!?

You're not aware that Nigeria resorted to giving away a large chunk of her territory (Bakassi) to Cameroon in order to get Ahmadu Ahidjo to block the Biafran supply routes from the eastern flank!? Yet again we see you bastards unilaterally making life-changing decisions for an entire group of people without bothering to ask for their opinion on the matter! Today the Bakassi people are refugees and homeless because of you scum!

I guess you're not aware of the starvation policy dreamed up by Awo! A policy used as a last resort when it became all to apparent that even with your Egyptian planes and shooting at any and everything that moves, that it was going to be impossible to beat the plucky Biafran soldiers into submission!?

Isn't it funny that you say i can't do without you yet i want out of this shithole you call a country; and on the other hand, a two-faced animal like you is clinging on to 'one Nigeria' like your life depends on it!?

Who's fooling who!?

dat s war for u.

You dey mind the guy? If another protest happens,which it will, he will say it's because the government wants to give them another chance to repent,that they should try it again.

Before the protest they said all sorts of things,that Nnamdi is alone in the struggle. Now everywhere went up in flames via protests from every corner yesterday, they are here with something else to say.

I tell you, it is very painful when you see your fellow man with guts fighting for a worthy cause but deep in your heart,u know you have the heart of a chicken. It hurts, so I don't blame the yorubas for their jealousy.

While Igbo call themselves "Ndigbi" and The decision making body of the Igbo Ethnic Nationality is identified as as "Ohaneze ndigbo"

Ikwerre on the other hand recognized themselves as "Ihiruowa" (pardon my spelling but Ikwerre sons know what I mean) while its decision making body is "Obako Ikwerre"...

gykes:


That's the part I'm really trying to understand. I see this very strange coinage on NL every now and then - "igbo Rivers", and I begin to wonder who are the igbos in Rivers State. Last time I checked, there are no igbos in Rivers State. I seriously need to know this strange people because Ikwerre, Etche and Umuma are clearly not igbos as they are stand-alone tribal/ethnic groups. Even Bony where they speak Igbani and simplified/pure igbo languages are ijaw.

Yes I know this because [/]I am a Rivers man and a son of Ikwerre land. On that note, I really need some educating on this "Igbo Rivers" people in Rivers State.[/b]

Just a side note: I am not against Biafra and in fact, I am a strong supporter of the UN doctrine on Self Determination, but forcefully dragging a State and/or its people into the Biafran struggle is what I find hard to comprehend let alone assimilate. IMHO It is in every ramification, the same master-slave perception Biafrans as a people are fighting against - it is an obtrusive imposition that should be carefully and promptly checked.

boy stop talking nonsense.
you are not an Ikwerre.

1adewoye:


There is nothing like biafra, which ceased to exist under 1970' surrender term! If you want to reawaken this dead and decayed episode in Nigerian history you can only count on a few diehards intent on anarchy. I hope they are ready to dance to the music they play.

Rest assured that majority of Nigerians, including all 36 states are looking forward to progressing the national project rather than the myopic distractions of those wishing to retrogress.

Empty threat.

I said ipob miscreants should announce they want to rally as they do in Aba and Onitsha and then we will not allow it.This protests took us unawares as it wasn't anticipated.

But you are already warned, the next one will be met by people who dislike biafra..do yourself a favour and don't join those miscreants...its for your good..better i meet you online than hear u've been harmed.

Any race and even individuals God chooses to bless ALWAYS have haters. They say Igbos are proud people, no we are not. We are just a race who know our worth and that there is nothing we cannot surmount. With this knowledge we walk with shoulders lifted high which others give many names such as pride, disrespect etc.

I can never hate on a yoruba or hausa man. Mbanu. A lion can never hate on another animal,no matter how they appear. Igbos don't have the time to fight yorubas. That you hear the voices of Igbos today is because people decided to suppress them as a result of jealousy, if not what an Igbo man believes is that everyone should have a level playing ground to make something for themselves.

So yorubas, don't have the notion that we hate y'all cos we don't. Therefore, stop feeling threatened and work hard as well and everyone is happy. Cheers

First to comment o...oluwa is involved..

Xpaz:

that is exactly my point.
Even though I am d Governor of River state and a supporter of Biafra.
There is no way I can openly Support Biafra no matter wat.
because I am under Nigerian Government.

The protest in PortHarcourt was by Igbo people in Portharcourt. Not rivers true indigenes.

In Portharcourt, Igbo population is up to atleast 30% which is high. The Igbo are taking advantage of that.

Before nko, you want them to tell you say na them sponsor the protesters.

Do u dunces expect a government to in the East to openly support it. We the youths in PH were given go ahead other by elderly people in govt.

So chill men. Even in Anambra, Obiano didn't show support you know. So gerrarahere vanguard.

If you Yeegbos want to secede, do it right! Stop bothering us; no one is stopping you subhumans.

QuotaSystem:
I thought the Niger Deltans wanted Biafra too...

...clearly Wike and Riverians do not...and their government didn't waste any time to give us the benefit of doubt

It is getting increasingly clear that this Biafra movement is located only on web browsers and in the hungry hallucinations of touts and street urchins

Why is Biafra giving U sleepless nights?
Them invite U to join dem?

Why South South Nations Won't Join Biafra. South South nations will rather form thier Own Confederation or seperate Nations

Igbo are using the support they gave to Jonathan in 2015 election as blackmail to convert Niger delta struggle to Biafra. This deception will not work. They only supported Jonathan because they got alot of appointments under Jonathan. They are just selfish and greedy people. Niger Delta Struggle is completely different from Biafra agitation. Igbo supported Obasanjo against thier own son and Hero Ojukwu in 2003 election, they should go and claim yoruba instead.

As far as I am concern IGBO, YORUBA and HAUSA are all benefitting from the current system. Afterall an IGBO man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 days war.

The Igbo claim to be one of us because some south south states were part of the old Eastern region. First of all, eastern region was created by Nigeria for Nigeria convenience. It was not a decision of the nationalities that made up the old eastern region. Secondly before most people forget, today edo and delta state were never at anytime part of eastern region. edo and delta were first Western region later became Midwestern region, then change to Bendel state before becoming edo and delta state today. some tribes speak Yoruba in edo and delta state. why is Yoruba not claiming edo and delta state the way Igbo is claiming rivers and delta states because some people speak ibo in those states?

Igbo may have succeeded in brainwashing some south south people that they are one of us, it is a big lie. They may have succeeded in brainwashing some of us that only hausa and Yoruba is the problem of south south, it is a big lie. They are the same as far as I am concern.

The problem with Igbo is greed, self-entitlement and born to rule, control and exploit mentality. Qatar is smaller than Bayelsa in Population and half d size of Bayelsa state by landmass. Bayelsa is four times the size of Sigapore. if Qatar and Sigapore can be a country, why cant we have an Ijaw nation as a country? Do u think Ijaw people dont want to be like qatar and enjoy thier oil alone like Qatar does? Note: Bayelsa State is d smallest state in the south south by population and second to the last by landmass!!


Below is the size of south south states and south east states. South South is almost 3times the size of south East.
Yet the population of South east is almost 80% of south south population base on 2006 census. But by the time you add igbo who are currently leaving outside south east, you will discover that thier population is more than all the south south put together. More than 90% of the resources (oil, gas, limestones,etc) are in the south south. The whole of South East is landlock with no direct access to the sea or atlantic ocean. but almost all the south south states have direct assess to the sea and atlantic ocean. Some will say they have River Niger. River Niger is not a sea or an ocean for big Ships.

Tell me why South South Nations will want to form a country with south east if they have a choice ? all south east will bring to the table is population and domination? The total oil production from south east is not up to 10% of south south oil production!

If you are the leader of south south nations will you advice them to form a country with south east if they have the option of forming their own country alone? give a sincere answer?

As far as I am concern, as unbrainwashed south south , there is no difference between the Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. To me, these are three major tribe struggling and fighting for Supiriority. Whenever any of the three is loosing, he shout Marginalization.

During Jonathan govt, the Igbos were gaining and were in control and were happy. The Yoruba were losing and were shouting Marginalization. The hausa/fulani were not happy because they were not fully in control. For the North we can slightly understand because in the 16years of democracy (May 1999 to May 2015) the south ruled 13.3years while the North had just 2.7years

The Igbo don't love south south more than the hausa or Yoruba love us. All the three tribe are all struggling for the control of south south oil. None of the three is better than the other as far as we south south are concern.

The only place south south nationalities agree with Igbo is Nigeria should divide. However while south south clamour for succession is base on lack of true fiscal Federalism, on the other hand, igbo clamour for succession is base on IGBO BORN TO RULE, CONTROL AND EXPLOIT MENTALITY. Igbo make noise and claim d north have born to rule mentality because of Sokoto State former motto of born to rule which they have change. The People with the true born to rule mentality are d Igbo. it is because they are not having thier way that they are complaining and making all d noise all over Nigeria.

But how and why Nigeria will and should divide, what we want and what they want is as different as d distance of the earth to d moon.

South south want thier own freedom. we will support Biafra as Igbo only nation while they should support us to form our own nation or nations. But trying to add us as an appendage to Biafra will never happen.

If south south join Biafra, our individual identities will be wiped out in less than 50years. They will convert every south south nationality to Igbo. And they will so much take charge of the oil and resources with reckless abandon without any regard to d minorities.

LET EVERYONE FORMS HIS OWN NATION. SOUTH SOUTH NATIONS DONT WANT IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA IN THIER NATION. WE DONT WANT ANY DOMINANT TRIBE TO CONTROL US IF OR WHEN NIGERIA DIVIDE.

They will argue that there are some igbo in rivers state, delta state and edo state. As far as i am concern Igbo speaking people in south south will join Niger delta republic or confederation. Their are Hausa people in Niger, there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo. Does that make those yoruba and hausa speaking people in those countries Nigerians?

The south south nationalities can form a confederation with United Arab Emirate template, where seven different nationalities came together to form a confederation with each nationality having some form of autonomy.

if the south east want to join the confederation they can join. We can't leave nigeria and go and form another normal single country were there is a dominant tribe. That will be moving from frying pan to fire.

Just like the United Ararb emirate asked qatar and behrain to join them, but qatar and behrain choose to form thier individual countries.

What Biafra represent is a single country with a powerful centre where a dominant tribe can control. South south dont want that. If we must fight or struggle for succession, we need a new name like "United State of niger delta" or any other name which clearly shows a union rather than a single country.

We need to set the record straight before south south nations make the mistake of south Sudan. It is more than Four years south sudan left
sudan to form thier country. Since that time south sudan has been in War while North Sudan enjoy peace. This was because nations in
south sudan came together to form a single country without ensuring that thier difference in ethnicity was fully discuss. Some
part of south sudan are now feeling marginalized. That is exactly what will happen if Igbo succeed in forcing south south nations into
Biafra. That so called Biafra wont have peace. It will be another Somalia!!!!

For peace to rain let Igbo form Biafra from the Five south east state and let the the six states in south south form a confederation or seperate nations. Anything outside this will never work.

I do not hate Igbo people. Many of my friends are Igbo. I only hate thier deceit and greed. what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
What we dont want is a dominant tribe simple. If south south join Biafra, that country will be 60% Igbo. How do you think other minorities can compete in that kind of country? Whether we like it or not we both know that Igbo are not diplomatic people by nature. That will lead to complete extinction of other tribe. in less than 50years they will make the whole Biafra Ibo without any consideration.

I dont hate Igbo. But i hate when i know the Biafra they seek is a Biafra with current south south as an appendage to it.
Why cant they support our freedom, and we will support thier freedom. Why do igbo make it look like it is wrong for Niger Delta people to seek thier own freedom outside Biafra? In biafra current south south minority will be like conquered people. God forbid that to happen.

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."

I am very sure that Nigeria will divide faster if Igbo seek Biafra with 5 south east state alone and Niger delta republic seek a country with the 6 South south states alone at the same time. Once the Hausa and Yoruba sees that Igbo are supporting a Niger Delta republic separate from Biafra, they will see it as true struggle. But if the struggle is about Biafra with south south in it, where Igbo will gain south south resources with Yoruba and Hausa loosing out, I bet you until South South oil finishes, Nigeria wont divide.

We don't need to form a single country with Igbo, we can seek for our separate nation on two front simultaneously but not on one front.
What we need is cooperation from Igbo not togetherness with Igbo. If they truly want to leave Nigeria and liberate Niger delta people from dominant tribes, they should support us to form our nation as they form thiers. I bet you when that happen, the struggle will be half won.

The Ojukwu Biafra was Igbo dream not Ijaw, Esan, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ikwerre, ogoni, ibibio, etc dream.

In summary, my point is if Nigeria will divide peacefully by United Nations referendum, south south will not join Biafra. Peaceful division of Nigeria can only be into a minimum of five countries (Arewa republic, Niger Middle belt, United Niger Delta, Oduwa republic, and Biafra). South South will form its own nation/nations. The only way south south and south east will form a single country like Biafra is if Nigeria divide by War because population will be important in size of Army.

My Igbo neighbour may not like this submission, but it is the bitter truth

hmmmm

South/East can not stand on it's ownnnnnnnnn. Where is the resources(am sorry am not insulting the good people of the region)? South/south will never join Biafra. Let us pray unto God to liberate us from the nation's cabals whose children and generation yet unborn had been planned for.

Foolish fl*thead igbos

How I wish the Nigerian government will grant my igbo brothers their biafran wish so we can hear word. I don't see what Nigeria's got to lose,at least there will be no need for all these eze ndigbo tussle in akure or alaba because by then biafrans will be treated like real foreigners.
