ArodeTsolaye:


They should forgive the ijaw youth group then, not Niger delta









Forty- five years after the end of the
Nigeria -Biafra civil
war , the Ijaw youths in Rivers State
have publicly denounced the role their parents played in the war .
They , however , pleaded for
forgiveness , saying that if the
level of awareness and information
available today were in
the country then , that the Ijaw would have supported the
Biafran cause .
Speaking at an Ohanaeze Youth
Council (OYC) submit held
in Owerri , the Imo State capital , the
president of Ijaw
Youth Council , Comrade Udengs
Eradiri , stated that the
Ijaw erred by not supporting the
Biafran cause , citing lack
of awareness and misinformation .
“ If we had the type of awareness and information technology we have today then, we would have stood firmly with Biafra to win the war , but we are working hard
to resolve the issue ,” he stated .
He expressed joy that notwithstanding their role in the
civil war , “ Ndigbo voted
overwhelmingly for President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in 2011 and since then the zone
has been supporting his
administration . ”

I believe we all are clear that Evah is committed to Niger-Delta and not Biafra struggle. Once again, we sympathise with the Igbos and wish them well, but we are NOT part of their Biafra.

Thank you 4 dat response. That guy is from a yoruba sub tribe if not yoruba.

There is nothing like NigerDelta. A region that Itsekiri, Ijaw, Urhobo, bini and Esan are at each other throat.

Ibibio and Efik are ever comfortable with the east. I think that group know the igbo have strong christian value and pose no threat to them in any form.

If Nigeria Break today they are the one group I can confidently say are with us. Rivers is going no where either.

The rest can get lost for all i care but Anioma to Igbanke are with us. Behold Biafra is born.

ezeagu:


You're overestimating Akwa Ibom's lean towards a Biafra, oil politics will win in the end, and riverine Rivers are some of the most vocal anti-Igbo, perhaps because of the dominant position of the upland Rivers Igbo.

carnegiefan:


Yes I agree but for an entirely opposite reason.
Do your really believe that if Biafra actualization begins to appear likely, eg if UN agrees to give us a referendum, that those groups would choose to remain in Nigeria after the rest of us leave? If they stay, what oil will they control? If they leave, doesn't Biafra promise 100% local control? Can Nigeria promise them that?
The choice for them is self evident.

juicee1:
igbos promising niger deltans 100% oil control is a thing that can be changed at the drop of a hat when they finally join you. You think they are fools? The same way you led a coup to stop nigeria's regionalism is the same way you are going to abolish such law. You guys are wise by half

BTW, if you want to give them 100% resource control, why not allowed them be 100% on their own i.e in a country of their own?

carnegiefan:


You people LOVE to lie even to yourselves. So Nzeogwu revolutionary coup will always be Igbo coup to you; we cannot help your brain.
You can believe whatever you want.
As for having a "country of their own", who is stopping them now? Igbos?
What we won't have is anybody riding or piggybacking the Biafran struggle to create his own republic. Everybody should agitate NOW for his own republic.
If only Biafra continues the struggle and agitations, then, when the referendum comes the only options available to peoples of SE and SS will be to be Biafran or Nigerian. QED.

warrior01:


Are you not ashamed? Some of your fathers betrayed the Biafran course to strangers and turned you to slaves and servants in your own land and you're happy? Your resources was lifted and used to develop their lands while the owners of the land perish in abject poverty and you're here clowning? Where's your dignity and pride? Tufiakwa! Fcking slave

SonOfEl:


You are so so overrated in nairaland.... Its obvious you know nothing about the eastern region....

juicee1:
so, because a single ijaw man gave the name biafra, every ijaw man plus SS minorities must now become biafran?

Why not accept that every ibo man wants One Nigeria cos okorocha says so?

Na wah for this land grabbers and oyel thieves o

kel4soft:


YOU ARE THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE ASHAME. I DONT GET THE LOGIC OF YOU GUYS WANTING SOMEONE TO ACCEPT THAT HE IS A SLAVE.

SonOfEl:


Fact is, you are...

Common you brat, don't be a coward, let it out! How Igbos have turn into monsters these days is just pathetic.

This is (possibly alcohol induced)pure fantasy taken to another dimension.
