Anioma Denies Biafra by davido101(m): 3:57pm On Nov 15, 2015 |
DELTA State's Igbo community has warned Biafran separatists they do not have the consent of the Anioma people to add them to their secession scheme and any attempt to do so will result in a war far worse than the 1967 to 1970 conflict. Following the arrest of Radio Biafra director Nnamdi Kanu two weeks ago, his supporters campaigning for a breakaway republic have been holding rallies across Nigeria, calling for the rebirth of the defunct republic. However, Ndi Anioma, the umbrella body representing all Igbos in Delta State, has distanced itself from the scheme, saying they should not be added to these secessionist plans. Ndi Anioma spokesperson Lauretta Onochie, said: "Like most observers who followed the nature of Biafra in 1967, Ndi Anioma is of the view that Biafra died permanently in 1970 with the surrender speech made by Philip Effiong in which he emphatically stated that Biafra ceases to exist, following Col Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu fleeing to Ivory Coast. In spite of this circumstance, a few resentful people of southeast origin who are attempting to exploit a non- existent opportunity to make the present democratic dispensation ungovernable, have keyed into the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra's (Massob) long-time motive designed to secede their people. "Worse still, some people of that region have gone on a wild chase of goose, making diagrammatic representation in an irredentist manner where important territories outside the southeast, including our Anioma have been included in their inventive maps to convince the world on the expansiveness of Biafra and probably for the benefit of oil in Anioma. These people have made a long journey from their southeast region to Asaba, the Delta State capital, blocking off major roads to give the false impression that the Anioma people have agreed to be part of Biafra but for posterity, Ndi Anioma must make its position clear that it has never been part of Biafra in history or administration." She added that for record purposes, Anioma was first situated in the Western Region, then the Midwestern Region, Bendel State and now Delta State in the south-south. According to Ms Onochie, Aniomans cannot for any reason afford to be forcefully strong-armed into any region, outside the region within the south-south geographical zone, where it is presently located or any other government outside the Nigerian control now or anytime in future. Ms Onochie added that Aniomans accompanied the Chief Obafemi Awolowo-led delegation of Western and Mid- Western leaders to Enugu, in May 6, 1967 just before the outbreak of the civil war to discourage Col Ojukwu from declaring Biafra because not only did they foresee it as an exercise in futility but because it was certain that it was bound to invite massive loss of lives, properties and sufferings and so it was. She pointed out that his stance of Anioma fathers and people of their region remains the same till date. Ndi Anioma maintains that there was never a time, place nor venue, when its leadership or representatives met and agreed to enter into any form of alliance with the people of the southeast geo-political zone to actualise a separate state of Biafra. Ms Onochie added that the representation of Anioma in different maps of Biafra is part of the figment of the imagination of desperate irredentist adventurers who creatively made such maps to satisfy their thirst for empire- building. She challenged pro-Biafra advocates to provide any evidence or agreement in which Anioma leaders allied with them to secede from Nigeria and become part of Biafra for the entire world to see. Ms Onochie warned that any attempt to secede will result in a war which will not only shatter their region but will definitely make the 1967-1970, a child’s play. According to Ndi Anioma, the challenges of the people such as marginalisation and the poor state of federal roads are real but it is not expected that conflict be used to solve them. It urged Ndigbo to put their representatives on their toes to deliver to the region and key into the agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari to address these challenges and many more. http:// /X3hMNP 9 Likes 1 Share |

Ndi Anioma is a Facebook 'organisation' ran by a Buhari minion. 'Lauretta Onochie', somebody threatening war out of nowhere, cannot be taken seriously as the voice of Anioma people. In the end a referendum will solve all these things. This is her twitter filled with APC propaganda and bullshit, a party which woefully failed in the Anioma she's supposed to be representing. What a surprise! The original Facebook post, liked mostly by APC fans, half of whom aren't even Anioma people: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1089181854454795&set=a.316204875085834.81955.100000889720395&type=3&theater 26 Likes 3 Shares |

dialfa:SS voices against Biafra When we told them that SS doesn't support biafra, they called us liars. They did everything possible to lure the region into the biafra agitation by shouting down any voice from the region against it and claiming such a person can't speak for the region cos he's not their leader. Now the notable leaders of the region are beginning to speak up and telling the Igbos to stop transporting people from SE to protest in SS thereby making it look like it's the SS indigenes that are in agitation for Biafra. James ibori The former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Onanefe Ibori has called on those using his picture during Biafra protest to cease from using it and that he is a strong believer of united Nigeria where the rights of every citizen is held sacrosanct. He also stated that the peace that the country enjoyed for forty five years after the civil war should not be broken by residues being dug up by some people to further divide the nation and betray efforts at national reconciliation and development. This he said must not be allowed. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/ibori-dissociates-self-from-biafran-agitation-says-hes-committed-nigerian/ Itsekiri people The Itsekiri people in Warri, Delta state have dissociated themselves from the call and agitation of some Igbo people in the south east for an independent state of Biafra. Vanguard reports that this was made known on Tuesday, October 27 by Itsekiri Leaders of Thought through a statement by its chairman Pa Johnson Ayomike and secretary, Edward Ekpoko. https://www.naij.com/620088-will-not-tolerate-another-igbo-invasion-itsekiri-people-dissociates-biafra.html Gbaramatul leader The leaders of Gbaramatu kingdom, Warri South West Local Government Area, Delta State, have warned that Gbaramatu kingdom is not part of Biafra. Elder Dickson Agagha, who spoke on behalf of the leaders at a meeting in Warri, insisted that Gbaramatu kingdom will never be part of Biafra, saying that any son or daughter of the kingdom making such a move to include Gbaramatu in Biafra will fail. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/gbaramatu-kingdom-not-part-of-biafra-community-leaders-warn/ Gov Wike Wike Bans protesters in Rivers state In a state broadcast, Mr. Wike banned all forms of street protests, demonstrations, rallies or unlawful gatherings associated with the agitations for the secession of any group from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “Majority of these individuals have come from neighbouring states and in the course of these protests, disrupted social and economic activities, damaged properties, assaulted and inflicted injuries on other citizens going about their lawful endeavours. www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/192971-gov-wike-bans-biafra-protests-in-rivers.html River Elders and Leaders Council He said Rivers Elders noted those with Biafra “sentiments have chosen to transport trailer and bus loads of demonstrators from neighbouring states into Port Harcourt. To say the least, this amounts to the display of bad political fate across our neighbouring borders. Rivers Elders pointed out “The action so far taken by the Biafra protesters in Port Harcourt is highly provocative to all genuine sons and daughters of Rivers state who have so far restrained themselves from confronting the demonstrators in Port Harcourt.” www.newsrescue.com/we-are-not-biafrans-never-say-rivers-elders/ Senator Godswill Akpabio The Rivers Commissioner of Police, Musa Kimo, also noted that his command would not allow lawlessness or breakdown of law and order. Senate minority leader Senator Godswill Akpabio also condemned the Biafran agitators. Speaking at the venue of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) conference in Abuja, Akpabio, a former Akwa Ibom State governor, called on the Federal Government and the states where the militias are protesting to stop the spread of the agitation. “The Biafra agitators must be told that those who witnessed the Nigerian civil war will never wish to experience another war in their entire lifetime. “If you don’t like the government of the day, you must wait for another election to vote them out”, Akpabio said. www.thenationonlineng.net/rivers-elders-reject-biafra/ Urhobo THE Urhobo nation yesterday denounced its membership in the proposed map of Biafra by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. Making the position known yesterday in a statement, National Publicity Secretary of the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, Alhaji Mumakai- Unagha, warned that Urhobo and its territories should be counted out from any IPOB plan. “IPOB have their rights of agitation for freedom of self determination as enshrined in the united nation declaration stressing that other ethnic groups should not be dragged along to avoid the mistake that led to the civil war. “The magnanimity of Urhobos in allowing Igbos celebrate the Igbo Cultural Day should not be taken for granted as we urge IPOB to delist Urhobo from its proposed map.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/urhobo- denounces-inclusion-in-map-of-biafra/ Biafra is not even in Nigeria 18 Likes 4 Shares |

ArodeTsolaye: This is the era of the internet and exposure. You cannot come and claim to talk for Ndi Anioma when even Ifeanyi Okowa did not say anything about protests in Asaba. Shared on an Okowa wesbite: "I am not a Biafran and neither am I Igbo. I do however believe that it is the inalienable right of any human being or ethnic nationality to aspire to be free and to be able to determine its own destiny. The right to self-determination is enshrined in international law and it is guaranteed by every moral stricture known to man. ... "Those that believe in Nigeria have every right to continue to do so and to voice their resolve to keep Nigeria one. What they do not have the right to do is to refuse to offer the same degree of freedom of expression to those that do not believe in a united Nigeria and who instead believe in the peaceful dissolution of our nation to speak their minds and voice their views. What is good for the goose is surely good for the gander. You cannot grant one side of the divide freedom of expression whilst you deny it to the other." http://www.okowasmart.com/2015/10/nnamdi-kanu-and-the-cry-for-biafra/ 7 Likes 1 Share |
