Oh so this people just suddenly appeared? Out of gun smoke?

Forget the imbeciile.
They are cry babies and always playing the victim card.

Truckpusher:
Cry me an ocean.

Are you so dumb not to notice when you're being ignored?

My bad , it runs in the gene and I guess the ass whooping I gave to you and your fellow expansionists from your erosion ravaged land is still fresh on your mind.
Ndo

Who cares who is ignoring who?
Your silly brother couldn't ignore any longer and jumped into my thread with lies and got himself embarrassed.
A drunkard that doesn't know his history.

TonyeBarcanista:
I think we all need to be ashamed of ourselves. I have been going through the Yoruba thread and I couldn't help but envy how they are busy promoting the Yoruba nation and her interest. I understand that we are multi-ethnic in the South South but we all need to start promoting ourselves and interests. We have Ikwerres(HopeAtHand), Ogba(Truckpusher), Esan(Erunz, Mogidi etal), Ijaws(Kel4Soft, IzonOwei etal), Urhobos(Goodboiy etal), Itsekiris, Isokos(Philips70 and co), Ibibio(Nigerianvenom etal) etc on this forum. Why can't we emulate the Yorubas and even topple them? Should we continue to play second fiddle in every thing? Or perhaps we expect people outside our region to tal“ about us?

In Nigeria, we have the most problem. Our demand for resource control, maladministration, marginalisation and OIC's instigated ethnic conflict. Lots of issues to be addressed that we MUST address. What becomes of us if we can't front our owÑ interest?

I hope I made sense(PS: This shouldn't be a partisan thread)

Thanks OP for this wonderful thread

When will u wake up from this ur delusion? why do you reason like a toddler? oya go and ask buhari for resource control.

EasternLion:

In that case, why are they putting discord in the Igbo family? Dividing them and cutting them off from the SE states for easy subjugation?
I am sorry bros, we were too docile and open-hearted.
Things are changing.

Alright Continue

hahahha, wonder shall never end. Too much clowns is the so called SS. empty vessels. Every family can as well claim to be a seperate tribe so that id.ots will have a tiny enclave where mediocres like them can be the king. may ur mouth burn if u speak igbo again

This thread confirms my suspicion on the hidden expansionist agenda of both the Ijaw/Edo hawks. Let the duo stand on their own and stop the attempt at including Igbo territories in their lorded Niger-Delta Republic. Let all Igbos joins hands with the SW and North to continue drinking our 'Oyel' until it dries up. Its high time we put this folks and their agenda to where they belong, maybe they will come back to their senses then.

Stale line.
Move on bro, even as you're drinking the oil your regions are worse of go figure.
Come to Port Harcourt and take the identity of the number of prostitutes that are lining up in GRA you'll weep for your people.
Whichever way you want to look at it the poverty rate for the three major tribes is still on the high side due to your population of zombies you keep churning out in their thousands every year.

pazienza:


Maybe, but no one cares! Either way they are stuck with us, and crude oil, their bargaining power right now is running out.Life span is 42 years.

Add that to the fact that the Atlantic is moving up towards us and will eat up their current few lands.

They are in for it, if they don't change their attitude. They won't be dealing with fragmented Igbo groups like Ndokis and Ikwerres like they did in the past, they will be dealing with a very hostile and enraged Igbo nation hell bent to revenge and righting wrongs done to us.

They better thread carefully.

Nothing you or Ibos fit do the Niger Deltans, they are bonafide Nigerians! They and all Nigerians know Iboz are butt hurt and Nigeria will always defend them, if ever attacked by the cowardly, land grabbing Iboz. There's a much higher chance of iboland disappearing completely from the earth due to gully erosion and their cannibalistic way of life than the NDeltans being overrun in their lands. The Ibos know this hence they hate them and hate Nigeria!!

[b] STATEMENT OF FACTS ON THE SUBJECT MATTER
The language and culture of the good people of Igbanke are losing their envious identity and relevance in culture-linguistic market-place in Edo state in particular and Nigeria at large.
Several reasons are evidently present to support the fears and anxiety of the people of Igbanke that our identity as a people would go into sudden extinction if urgent measures are not quickly taken to address our emasculation by Bini language dominance. The following points support the facts of the subject matter:
1) Igbanke is one of the few communities in Edo state that speak Ika language
2) Igbanke is located in Orhionmwon Local Government Area, Edo state.
3) Igbanke, by name is in Orhionmwon LGA, but geographically, we do not share common boundary with any community in the council
4) From the eastern flank, Igbanke shares common boundary with Mbiri, an Ika speaking community in Delta stae, from west, it’s bounded by Oghada, another Ika speaking community in Uhunmwode LGA in Edo state. In the northern sphere, Igbanke has boundary with Ekpon, Ika speaking community in Igueben LGA while from the south, it has Agbor and Oza-Nogogo, Ika communities in Delta state as neighbours.
5) Igbanke is in Edo south senatorial district
6) Igbanke people and community came under the Bini empire during the latter’s expantionist programme.
7) Most of other Ika speaking communities that were conquered by Bini empire same time with Igbanke have gotten their independence in Delta state while Igbanke, Oghada, Otobaye, Iru, Ekpon and Ogbeka etc are selfishly scattered in three local government areas with the attendant linguistic discrimination and political marginalization.
Igbanke are gradually losing their linguistic and cultural identity as a result of our involuntary affiliation to the Bini language-speakers dominated Orhionmwon LGA.

ISSUES FROM THE STATEMENT OF FACTS
Consequent upon the facts drawn from the subject matter, some issues could be deduced to support Igbanke search for linguistic and cultural identity. These issues would go a long way in justifying our position.
1)Igbanke was deliberately, but selfishly carved into Edo state during the 1991 state creation irrespective of the linguistic difference between the people of Igbanke and the dominant Bini speaking population of the state.
2) Over 96% of Ika speaking communities in the defunct Bendel state were carved into Delta state while Igbanke and a handful other Ika speaking communities were severed into Edo state where they are presently subjected to acute linguistic and sundry discriminations
3) Because of linguistic factor, the people of Igbanke feel more at home with their kiths and kins (Ika speaking people) in Edo and Delta states.
4) Igbanke is made up of six (6) autonomous clans: Ake/Obiogba, Idumu-Odin, Igbontor, Oligie, Omolua and Ottah. These clans were governed by traditional rulers called ‘’Eze or Obi’’. These terms were of Ika origin, but have been forcefully changed to ‘’Enogie’’ a Bini term by the conquering Binis.
5) Our ancestral heritage like language, names and beliefs are being systematically destroyed by the domineering power of the Binis. [/b]

Lol

Shame on you!
A man without identity is a non living thing.


Go and form your ijaw/edo Republic and I can assure you no Igbo will blink an eye


But if you ever mentioned niger delta or south South in your miserable quest for identity, then you're doomed.

Because we are Igbo and we are proud, and I swear we will always return your butterfly to it's miserable status if it ever think itself a bird

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF ISSUES RAISED
1)Most Igbanke indigenes who have Ika ancestral names like, “Emeka”, “Maduka”, “Chukwuka’’, “Chinyere”, “Amaka and “Ogorchukwu etc are often confronted with all forms of harrowing experiences when there are needs to visit our council headquarters, Abudu to process one official documents or the other. We are often denied the issuance of documents like, ‘’Certificate of Local Government of origin’’, Protest Letter’’, To Whom it May Concern’’ etc on the guise that we are Igbos not Binis.
2) Those who have the likes of the Ika aforementioned names, but can speak Bini language are rarely subjected to the above embarrassments and discriminations. This act goes a long way to vindicate our fear that there is a subtle, but carefully planned agenda to make us lose and abandon our ancestral linguistic and cultural heritage.
3) In order to escape from these unnecessary embarrassments, some have no other option left than to change their identity from Ika to Bini names.
4) Today, we, the good people of Igbanke are gradually losing our once envied linguistic and cultural identity.
5) Some of the eminent sons and daughters of Igbanke, whom out of their outstanding contributions to the development of the community, were recognized and given chieftaincy titles had had such titles changed from their original Ika origin to Bini equivalence. For example, few years ago, one of our sons who addressed himself as “Chief Orike-Eze” in Oba of Benin palace was shamefully harassed, insulted and forcefully forced, right in the palace to change the title to its Bini version. According to the palace, the title, “Orike-Eze” had its origin from Ika and Igbo nations.
5) Most times, when we have cause to attend meetings with the Binis in our local government area or senatorial district, deliberations are often conducted in Bini in language without considering the fact that the people of Igbanke in such meeting neither speak nor understand the language. Often than not, when we attend such meetings, we left the venue more confused than we were before we went.
6) In Edo state, Igbanke is only tolerated, not respected, seen, but not accepted. Today, in Edo state, plans are underway by the state Ministry of Education to introduce the teaching of Bini language in Primary and Secondary schools across Edo south senatorial district including Igbanke. Unfortunately, our indigenous language, Ika is not in any way considered qualified and appropriate to be taught in schools in Igbanke. To us, its another deliberate attempt to send our linguistic identity into extinction.
7) Our people have also suffered several inexplicable discriminations when it comes to political appointments. During the 2013 Edo state local government elections, one of our sons, Mr. Peter Ikem was refused to contest the chairmanship position in Orhionmwon local government area. Reason? His surname, “Ikem” was an Igbo, not Bini name.



PRAYERS/ RELIEFS SOUGHT
Sir, based on the foregoing, we therefore, solemnly ask for the folling:
1) A local government be created that would comprise all Ika speaking communities scattered in Orhionmwon, Uhunmwode and Igueben LGAs of Edo state. Some of the Ika speaking communities in Edo stateinclude:
Orhionmwon LGA —-Igbanke, Iru, Ohezenaka, Otobaye, Ugbeka
Uhunmwode LGA —– Oghada
Igueben LGA ——- Ekpon

2) Where, for any reason, creation of a local government area that would consist all Ika speaking communities is not in the immediate possible or feasible, we therefore ask that Igbanke be severed from Edo state and merged with our kiths and kins in Ika south local government area in Delta state.
3) The people of Igbanke should be seen, recognized and accepted as Ika people residing in Edo.
4) That Igbanke people, based on our forceful membership of Edo state, reserved the natural and inalienable right to decide, at any time, either to continue our membership with the Binis in Edo state or join our Ika kiths and kins in Delta state.

CONCLUSION
Igbanke is an Ika speaking community in Orhionmwon local government, Edo state
We, the people Igbanke are gradually losing our linguistic and cultural identity as a result of our forceful membership with the Binis through conquest.
If urgent measures are not taken, our linguistic and cultural identity would sooner than later go into sudden extinction. In order to avoid the impending extermination of our race, we therefore, ask that a local government area be created that would consist of Igbanke and other Ika speaking communities in Edo state.
Alternatively, if local government creation is not feasible or possible, Igbanke, should therefore, be severed from Edo state and merged with Ika south local government area in Delta state.

Present sirs and Mas..
Representing Avielle,Etsako-west Local Government of Great Edo state...
I will be so glad if those igbos/biafrans can stay away or atleast don't derail this thread...

Wetin Edo dey find here? Silly thread. Op, you must be stoned for this nonsense. Nonsense! Ijaw is Biafra and Biafra is Ijaw. Izon means 'truth' so my fellow Ijaws let's speak the truth always. Haaaaa Izon! Haaaaaa Izon!! Izon keme emi a? Emi eeeeeee!

I want to use this opportunity to call on all my fellow ijaw youths to support our brothers, the Igbos. Let's form an alliance with them just like the yorubas and hausa/fulanis have formed, have been forming and will always form alliance against us. It is only when we synergize by forming a formidable alliance that we can succeed. Let's us not make the silly and disastrous mistake our fore fathers made by taking sides with the north and west to the detriment of our backdoor neighbors, the igbos. Biafra is not all about Igbo. Ijaws are a majority in Biafra (Just like the Ibos). But a silly minority in the contraption nigeria. Do we rather remain as oppressed minorities in nigeria or be majority in Biafra and be free? This is the question that we need to ask ourselves.

So as has been shown, in as much as the Igbo speaking tribes of Rivers are scared of SE domination, they don't still want to be in the same territorial entity with the domineering and land grabbing Ijaws.

And whIle the Igbo speaking tribes of Edo are scared of Igbos of. SE, they still don't want to be enslaved by the Edoids in any entity be it state or whatsoever.

They want autonomy from Ijaws, Edoids and loose attachment to SE and Anioma.

So, Ijaw and Edoid land grabbers, go look for lands other place, stop eyeing Igbo speaking territories, you can never have them.

The only way Ijaws and Edoids get to share same entity with those Igbo speaking groups is Biafra.
If you don't want Biafra, it then means you want to stand alone, nothing is wrong with that, but just know you can't have any Igbo speaking territory in your Ijaw/ Edoid republic.

Too many IPOB masturbators on this thread.

Give us Biafrat or I die but I must get port harcourt too and all Ijaw land including all the minorities of the Niger Delta.

Wake up Igbos , it's game over.

Obiagu1:


What a drunkard!

It's 45 more years.

So you know Ibos will be in Nigeria for another 45 years at least? So why are you crying hypocritically for Biafra? Ibos are so pained and it must pain them more when although all Nigeria know they have dug themselves into a hole, we just continue our life while they keep wailing like slaves and animals that they are!

Igbo are prepared for good and bad, stay in Nigeria and still be dominant.
Leave Nigeria, we'll still be overachievers.

One thing that is inevitable is hunger in Ijawland 45 years from now.

Well, with that kind of defense you give then, Ndiigbo need not even touch them, as through your defense you will kill them mama, dem papa, etc and we will simply dance to the timaya song as we claim our stolen property.

Ibos did not contribute anything significant or provide the least contribution to Nigeria's independence. Even the Edos did more than them. This is why their region has always failed with no traction. Few years after independence they wanted to pull the rug from under the feet of Nigeria with their dump amateurish coups but they were so hammered, they are still crying till tomorrow!!! LWTMB!!!

The SW and the a North will never join hands with Ibos to punish anyone in Nigeria, not Ijaws or Edos or anyone. While the ND brings its natural resources to the table, the West brings Nigeria's industrial, manufacturing, intellectual, economic, financial and viable ports and businesses to the table. The North brings agriculture, textiles, lands for expansion in the future to Nigeria. What do Ibos bring except fraud and crime and terrorism Biafra??

We are after 'awa oyel' until it runs out before we bring anything to the table.

The next thing Igbos should do is to team up with the Hausas and cancel 13% bullshit.

The oil belongs to the North due to their land mass.
