Setaje:



Sorry the igbos committed terrible atrocities. My dad saw everything. If not for the Nigerian troops, they would have taken over naija delta wiv the help of the anioma. Anioma people secretly helped biafra. But when the Nigerian troops came in they were d same people pointing out who the real igbos were and denied being pure igbo. My dad's principal was killed in front of them. The Igbo troops killed a lot of minority groups. Starting from porthacourt.


The only people I think that might be loyal to your course is anioma. As far as I no, they have never been trusted by pure delta people. Just as u people see them as fake igbos, the Nigerian delta see them as traitors. That's my observation. But my friend amaka will never agree she is igbo. Strange.

Have you forgotten how they plotted to kill David Ejoor ?, if not for the Help of an Edo chief who rescued him.. I don't need anybody to tell me about the war, my mom always tell me about it, they always blamed Yoruba of twisting fact.. but majority of what Yoruba said about them are true.

if you have anybody that withness the war just ask them about the atrocities commited by Igbo soldiers

Why bother yourself? The igbos dont have the capacity to wage war; they cant even defend their so called five states, let alone leading an invation. The current noise about biafra is an attempt to mask their political miscalculation and misadventure of supporting jonathan's failed 3rd term bid. However, jonathan has since recovered from the shock and moved, even edwin clark an avowed pugilistic supporter of jonathan have all moved on, yet the igbos are still ruminating over a defeat they can not undo.
So on point.

Traditionally, Yoruba, Igala and Itsekiri have the same ancestors. Thence, their striking similarities in language.

These guys are stupid and hypocritical.what is their business if the south east wants biafra? In as much as they are not part of the region called biafra, what is their problem? Fucking hypocrites, trying to please their slave masters. Time for a referendum, nobody needs to fire a bullet

have the Ijaws accepted your offer ?, or you are just assuming.. am speaking for my people, And the interest of my people, Tonye already made his intention know regarding Ijaw.. as for me No Urhobo/Itsekiri land should be included in your country. Its an insult to us.. We have nothing to benefit from your fake country.. I still remember what Biafra troops did to our fore fathers in 1967. we haven't forgotten anything.

1 luv.
Good and am happy the feeling is mutual smiley after all who forgets the massacres meted out on Anioma, even by people who claim they're their neighbors I'd not even mention the other massacres perpetrated on other parts of Igbo and Ibibio land.
To tell you my deepest thoughts on the ijo undecided I'd not even want them in Biafra kos our mentality and their differ on fundamental issues of life.our differences in Rivers state can be settled on the table or in a quick decisive war wink
The only non Igbos we share something with are the Mmoño(Ibibio) and they're the only SS non Igbo ethnicity I'd love to share Biafra with smiley

The hypocrisy of Niger-Delta is thinking that any igbo group in South-South will join (Bini, Esan, itserkiri, ijaw etc) in one country same as the hypocrisy is Baifra believing that itserkiri, ijaw etc of today will join them in one country.

So stop the noise making, Biafra will not include you all neither will your niger- delta (which by the way Abia and IMO is currently part of ) include any igbo Group or igboid. Be it anioma etc.

WARRI—THE Itsekiri ethnic nationality of Warri,
Delta State, has dissociated itself from the calls for
creation of a Biafra Republic out of Nigeria as being
drummed by some Igbo interest groups in the
South-East.


The Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, ILT, expressed the
group’s concern over the Igbo agitation
yesterday in a statement by its Chairman, Pa
Johnson Ayomike and Secretary, Edward Ekpoko.


The body is disturbed that the proposed Biafra
Republic as widely reported in the social media
includes the whole of Delta State.


The statement stressed: “We recall with pains the
day the defunct Biafran Army invaded Warri and
Benin in the then Midwest Region on August 9,
1967.


Never again will the Itsekiri tolerate such
invasion. The Itsekiri nation is committed to the
unity of Nigeria and will do all it can to promote and protect it as one indivisible country.


As Major
General Philip Effiong said on January 14 1970, the
Republic of Biafra ceased to exist. We, the Itsekiri,
wish it to be eternally so for the peace and
development of our great nation.”

I seriously don't understand this attachment to Nigeria. It is unhealthy and irrational.
Are you guys sick and used to suffering and wanton disregard of human life.?
This is a Nigeria which for 100 years have proven to be nothing more than a waste of time. Even in 100 years to come, there is no sign Nigeria will ever become a second world habitat let alone first world.
The people there will always be ethnocentric with very little patriotrism for the so-called Nigeria in a 1000 years.
Why would any sane human being want to keep trying the same failed thing? Are you people not bothered about the future of your children?
Nigerians are sick, very sick in the head.


This is why you don't need any of these people with this mentality in our new country and struggle.
They are hardwired to (Our Oyel) which ironically they watch the north siphon without regard to there useless opinion.
Trust me you don't want this people in your nation

We just spoke our mind.. When your kalu was busy including warri in your Biafra map did you consult us ? When you included the entire Delta state did you consult us ?.. Everybody go your way is that Hard to understand...

You have been warned , don't come online to say we betray you , Cous we never had any agreement with IPOB regarding our land been included in There map.. Any attempt to force us, Then be ready to Deal with Yoruba/Edo Army..

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Let Biafra be as long as it is a landlocked region filled with erosion, little natural resources and Igbo-speaking people. I swear, we Yorubas will claim all your properties here and we will kick out illegal immigrants in our nation. I wish igbos realise that Biafra is their doom.

This shows south south leaders are smart in thinking. Joining Biafra they know Igbo will simply invade their land and oil, ask we Yoruba how we cope in Lagos and other south west states, no breathing space. They put pressure on our schools, hospitals, policing and other social services while calling us names . While their governors embezzle their meagre monthly allocation without impunity, their citizens are left to rush to same southwest they call slaves to make a living instead of staying home to build and develop.
