Amberon:Some of you people are dumb and unintelligent about things concerning igbo land, there are lots of of oil wells in igbo hinterlands of imo, Asia, Anambra all untapped with Enugu having the highest highest gas reserve in Nigeria with ebonyi with the having highest limestone deposits in Nigeria, apart from the coal in Enugu abia has a lot of of tributaries that leads directory into the Atlantic Ocean, you people need to know a lot concerning igbo land not just writing rubbish you don't know |

biafraone: Same reason as now. Because of the OIL. By the late 60s, it was very clear the direction world oil demand was going, and Ojukwu saw it as a chance to corner the oil resources of the region. Hence the agitation for Biafra.
Ojukwu and his gang. Who else? |

durangokid: You did the exploration yourself to discover these vast quantities of oil and gas in Anambra and Imo? If not, please show us the research studies, showing how many billions of barrels reside in Anambra. Kindly awaiting. I suspect there are SOME deposits there, but there are infinitely tiny compared to major oil and gas producing regions like the Niger Delta, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Angola etc. 1 Like |

Rossikki: When were you born? In 1967, when Biafra seceded from Nigeria, crude oil was not discoverd except in Oloibiri which was fetching like peanuts to Nigeria then. The killing mine - Sharia criminal codes in the north - beginning 1999 recharged the battery for Biafra agitation. Boko Haram violence that expelled southerners from north poured acid to agitation for Biafra. Fulani herdsmen and arrest of Nnamdi Kalu inflamed the agitation for Biafra. If what worries you is losing oil proceeds from the oil producing, non-Igbo areas in the SS if they eventually join Biafra, please accept them if they agree to remain with what shall be left of Nigeria without Biafra. No be by force ooo. |

Rossikki: And you are not ashamed to write this? They have started to produce vehicles that need no fuel. Therefore, before long, you may have to drink that crude oil which holds a country one for parasites. No body told you that the richest countries on earth have no crude oil. No body told you that crude oil is not all there is for a country to survive on. No body told you that Tourism is the greatest foreign exchange earner for peaceful, tourism countries, after manufacture and Service businesses; but in Nigeria, the Boko Haram and herdsmen cultivated and used by the Nigerian group you seem to work for, have made Nigeria a most tourism-unfriendly country. Those you work for used unfriendly environment of Sharia criminal codes, and Boko Haram, which also fights for a country to be ruled with Islamic Sharia criminal codes, to chase away most Southern Nigerians from the vast lands of northern Nigeria; yet, because of crude oil in the Niger delta southern region, you still want to fight for continuation of failed Nigeria. Which country exists in the world where people from its southern region cannot comfortably decide to relocate to its northern region, except your One Nigeria? Abeg, waka pass with your crude oyel booty. |

Rossikki:You people are very funny let tell you seismic studies have shown a lot oil well in imo state you can browse it all untapped, same in Anambra and Abia because of continuous negative policy of the Nigerian Nigerian policy and politics they still want to continue making igbo land a non oil producing State after calving the oil parts at the villages near other states out, there is nothing they can do with the ones hinterland of obowo, mbaise, all in imo state and those in ngwa land axis axis, umuahia axis down to the their boundaries with akwa Ibom and isikwuato areas and ebony, the question you people should ask is where were the Biafrans refinaries during the civil war, it is known that in bende and item all in abia state have lots of oil well sealed with nnpc tapes, these wells have billion of barrels, if you have or know any top nnpc official ask him, he will tell you the secret of oils deposits in South East |

Amberon: Imo and Anambra have the highest gas deposits, and it has been proven, but oh well, no one cares. Check out fabrication clusters and prowess of Aba, who needs oil? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQJPLw-tRFg Chances are that you didnt know that dredgers, agro-allied machinery, oil tanks are made in Aba. Even the dregders used by oil companies in dregding your shallow creeks are fabricated in Aba, along Enugu - PH expressway. The oil tanks and other agro allied machines are fabricated in Aba, watch the video, no one needs oil to survive. After watching it, let me bring you the video for shoe clusters in Aba, we have 5 shoe clusters that have about 10,000 people each, that is 50k people producing millions of shoes that find their way as far as Malaysia and Dubai on a daily bases. Are we going to talk about the fashion industry of Aba? No one needs oil to live.

Rossikki: the south south is a geopolitical zone comprising akwa ibom, bayelsa, cross river, delta, edo and rivers while the niger delta includes two south eastern states -abia and imo, and one south western state - ondo. the two south eastern states with oil deposit are in the niger while akwa ibom, bayelsa, delta and rivers are in the delta. so pls when writing apply the right name. if your hypothesis or research question is built on the assumption that oil triggered the civil war then your conclusion will be wrong because available data dont agree with your thinking. If Biafra was about oil how come they are developing without it. Govt position in 1967 never stated so, The federal govt took over the wells promising to return them after the war because they feared that biafra could hijack it and put an end to nigeria thus the mobilization of ethnic polities in the old rivers state using the sentiment you expressed to win them over. In the old eastern region, non igbo groups felt dominated thus the wholly acceptance of the carrot from the FG. it was that carrot that took away oil wells from the oil bearing communities till today. and the question to be asked is who has gained more since 1970 the biafrans, other parts of nigeria or the south south? seening what oil wealth has done in kaduna, kano, lagos and Abuja do you still hold the belief that oil is the aim of the biafran agitation? looking at the south east communities can you locate the community that oil has built from the scratch? now let me surprise you! NYSC was designed to bring the South back to the North, the south east was the prime target. the war drove them away and left the north without enough manpower. apart from creating the avenue for job seekers from the east govt made sure that the upsprings of those who left for biafra returned to Nigeria to offer free service. if you want a fair judgement of the war read the books, measure it with what is on ground. pls also consider the present take of the major actors in the war. Lastly, what led to adaka boro's agitation? was it driven by oil, biafra or the FG? |

Let the South South declare that they are not interested in joining Biafra, and watch how quickly the Ipob movement collapses. Biafra is ALL about stealing that oil for the Igbos. In private, many Igbos ridicule people from the south south. They call them drunkards and wastrels. But in public, they are "brothers in the Biafra cause". If the south south join Biafra, they will live to regret it. The Igbos are ready to exterminate them to seize those oilfields. |

It (his policy) worked hence he was marked for execution, in their so called revolutionary coup. |
