I know that the second in command of biafra was an efik. but i want to know if the efik people and ibibio people supported biafra.

Efiks/Ibibios yes. . .

Annang no. . .

But why this question? Not even all Igbos supported Biafra.

I heard Annang ppl are wicked. An Efik man told me lol

that's how it starts. Nigerian men have to be the biggest gossipers amongst men. Dkics in skirts.

He said, she siad, they said.

Where are you getting this rubbish from?

Ibibios/Efik remained true to the Biafran cause. They were also the ones who bore the brunt of the attacks. Ibibio women were despoiled, and that is why many Ibibios say that any ugly Ibibio is the product of such unions.

It was the Annang, who caused the most problems for the Biafrans just like the Ijaws.

is effiong not an efik or ibibio man

please answer without insult

Why should I answer your question? I doubt you even met an Ibibio man in your life, let alone conversed with one.

It is not your concern, because remember everyone East of the River Niger is Igbo right?

i don't think i have met an ibibio man in my life

yes i have met a lot of efik people and a lot of ibibio girls

now how is that related to the question i asked ?

Effiong might have issue with Ojukwu but it didn't and haven't stopped him from supporting the cause. He even remained true to his core belief in his book and till death. His son is on my FB and he is carrying on his father's legacy so kindly STFU @ Alj Harem.

op

u can look at this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-611116.0.html#msg7791942

Alj Harem continue looking for the link till u go blind. Unintelligent foools like u make outrageous comments all the time. Someone having an issue with Ojukwu does not equal to being anti-Biafran. Even Madiebo got issues with Ojukwu yet no one have ever tagged him or entire Igbo anti-Biafran u mindless simpleton. Grab a copy of Effiiong's book and holla back.

no thats a lie and u know it

@The OP, THIS YOUR BRAINLESS THREAD BELONGS TO THE WASTE BIN.

alj_harem:

no thats a lie and u know it

What is not true? Of course they're natural allies.

alj_harem, u have to understand that ALL ethnic nationalities east of the niger have solid historical relationships with Ndigbo. Its only the Ijaw that prove stubborn most times. Ijaw themselves have cohabitation problems with other nationalities in the delta not just Ndigbo. Quite difficult people despite the Igbo blood that flows in most of them.

I'm telling you the facts.

Like the Annang, I've heard a lot people accuse the Ngwa of sabotage. *shrug* In my opinion though, the Ijo are the worst (not just with Igbo, but with others like the Ogoni). The Ibibio-Efik are historically on the same page with the Igbo. Anyone who tries to question that is obviously displaying ignorance.

Ojuku forced them into the so called biafra struggle all because of the oil.Can any ibo tell us why the ibos overshadowed other minorities within the biafra thing ?

You are a no-brainer at all. This your stupendous thread goes a long way to show how brainless humans can be. Even your fellow school drop-outs can confortably spell Ojukwu while you can not.
It's a pity anything Igbo, Biafra or Ojukwu scares away your life. Ride on.

Bluetooth that's a stupid question with a simple answer: population. It's not astro-physics.

What does this have to do with the issue I raised ? Everybody knows biafra is ojuku's personal agenda.

Can you even tell the difference between an Ibibio and Igbo first before commenting on their relations?

Bluetooth that's a silly question with a simple answer: population. It's not astro-physics.  

So because of the population,Ibos get to decide for the other minorities even without their consultation and approval for such agenda ? How did he bring them to accept the biafran struggle since they are not ibos ?
How is the dominating factor of ibo over the other minorities to chose for them different from what the core north is doing to the north central region ?

Which northerner knows what an Ibibio is? Biafra wasn't about Igbo people it was about the former eastern region who thought they would do better on their own. Who forced Effiong to be second in command?

Gross assumption Bluetooth. That's your problem right here.

They have different language and culture which are the factors that determine a tribe.abeg tell me how south south and south east are related in modern nigeria political settings ?

did ojuku conduct a referendum to know if the ijaws,urhobos,and other tribes really want to secede from Nigeria ? Who are the representatives of the ijaw,itsekiris,urhobos that gave the go ahead to declare a republic of biafra ?

Typically Bluetooth, I give you points for some of your posts, but your questions and attitude in this context are gross. I don't understand what it is you don't get. Biafra was not an 'Igbo' thing. Go and speak with some Ibibio and Efik to broaden your understanding. I think it would serve you better to do that as opposed to what you're doing here.

Let tell you.I have ibibio,Anang and Ijaw friends that told how they despised ibos for dictating to them in the past.You keep saying biafra is not an ibo thing,what consultation did ojuku make before declaring the state of biafra ? Who did he consult among the other tribes ?

~Bluetooth:

Can you tell them apart? By the way can you describe the ethnic make-up of Delta and Rivers state, two core south-south states?

What part of Biafra were the Urhobo and Itsekiri in? The eastern region actually voted to secede.
