PROUDIGBO:



Discerning minds will know exactly what's going on in this forum! The energy and spirit being used to try and cause divisions between Ndigbo and neigbouring ethnicities in the east comes from the same place as the enery and spirit being used to drive the pro-Tinubu and anti-Obi/Igbo political narrative pre and post elections! The people sneakily and deceptively driving this agenda ARE MAINLY YORUBA....possibly with a handful of self-serving Fulani and Ijaw gaining from the status-quo!

This cretin i'm quoting is a case in point! He registered TODAY with a derogatory Igbo moniker.....ceratinly another alternate moniker out of many, and his set goal is to try and continue the anti-Obi/Igbo narrative!

The entire situation would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic!

Dude, get a life!

fuckuigbos:
Yes, they love Nigeria and it is foolishness for them to try to destroy Nigeria because they are not ruling.
When Azikiwe, Ironsi and co were in charge they were not crying wolf so why should they disturb us now that the story has changed.
The Igbos once dominated strategic positions in Nigeria, they even fought against the Hausas and Yorubas for mooting the idea of secession clause in our constitution.

They should go and build their backward Igbo states first before talking about ruling Nigeria.

fuckuigbos:
Keep quiet you are not an Ibibio, no sensible Ibibio would be proud to associate with Biafra after the atrocities they committed against the Ibibios in the past.
Go and tell your elders to tell you about your history if you are truly an Ibibio.
This indomie generation know nothing about the past.

fuckuigbos:
If I am a Yoruba pretending to be an Ibibio guy, may it not be well with me forever and may I never see tomorrow, but if I am an Ibibio guy may everything go well for me starting from today and may Tinubu's government favour me and all my Akwa Ibom people. AMEN...

I am a proud Akwa Ibom guy who hates Biafra with passion because of the atrocities Ojukwu committed against my people. I almost lost my dad in the Biafra was because of the foolishness of Ojukwu.

proeast:


Lol, how old are you, 12 years?

If USSR, a super power can easily disintegrate against the wish of Russia, its major ethnicity. Then why do you believe that Nigeria can't?

What about Yugoslavia, Sudan, India, Pakistan etc. Is Nigeria more formidable than them prior to their disintegration?

You think disintegration is what you wake up and do? No, it's a gradual process that happens over time and Nigeria is steadily on that circle!

If you understand international relation and politics, you will know that Nigeria has higher chances of breaking up than staying together, going forward.

Parachoko:
Dem don call me a Yoruba Man tire even though I once agreed to meet Asgard in VI

I've said it before and I will still say it again

It makes no sense leaving Nigeria and joining another Mini Nigeria.

As an Ijaw Man, I will not leave Nigeria and become a minority to the Igbos in Biafra.

If Nigeria divide, is going to be everyone to her tent. Is so foolish for anybody to think ethnic nationalities in the South South will want to become a minority group in a new country when they have the option of creating their own country

sweerychick:
shut up u yorubanized SS wannabe I have always made it known I'm Ibibio since day 1 I created this account my mum is from Anambra..remove Igbo from your moniker and have a good day

fuckuigbos:
My dad used to tell us about the atrocities of Igbos in Akwa Cross during the civil war, the Igbos were poisoning our streams and well water, killing mostly the young males, and renaming our villages and towns to make it become Biafra land.
Only a foolish person would trust the Igbos.

The Hausas are better than the Igbos. Igbos are similar to the Fulani people who are territorial in nature and must never be given any opportunity to rule Nigeria again.

That I bear Emeka does not make me an Igbo person so Igbos should be reminded that there is no Igbo peopke in the South South.

Should Nigeria divide, the South South will be determine which country to join and not Igbos.

Biafra is for Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra.
No Akwa Ibom/Cross River is interested in that shitty Biafra so count us of out.
Our land is naturally blessed more than Igbo land and should we become a country we can manage our resources more than the Igbos cuz Akwa Ibom people are good managers, that is why Akwa Ibom is growing faster than all the Igbos states and our successive governors ahead of all the Igbos governor dead and alive.

Akwa Ibom is endowed with a number of mineral resources e.g Uranium, Oil and gas, Limestone, Lead/Zinc, Lignite, Salt, glass sand giver nitrate, Rich arable land for farming etc.


IGBOS SHOULD NEVER IN THEIR LIFE CLAIM THAT AKWA IBOM IS PART OF THAT ONLINE COUNTRY.

WE CAN BE GOOD TRADING PARTNERS BUT CAN NEVER BE PART OF BIAFRA.

fuckuigbos:
Stop accusing the innocent Yorubas, we the Ibibios can never be part of Biafra.

Parachoko:
Even under Jonathan tenure, Igbos didn't take Nnamdi Kanu or other Biafra group seriously

It was after Buhari take over the scream for Buhari became very loud

If Peter Obi won the Presidential Election, even gidgiddy won't be talking of Biafra again

Here in Benin so many men started wearing skirts so they won't be forcefully recruited because the ones that were taken away never came back but instead they kept coming back to take more even up to boys the age of 12 were all taken from Benin by the Biafran soldiers. So many never came down from the ceiling, some lived the rest of their lives in the Forest and never returned home. People stopped using lights in their house at night some even stopped cooking and depended on fruits from bushes because they did not want anything to bring the attention of the Biafran soldiers to them.


The ones stationed at gelegele raped anything that can be raped including married women especially if you are not wearing long ugly gown to make you look unattractive. The day the Northern soldiers chased and killed them all there was a huge celebration, we still have the song here in Benin on how Hausa soldiers slaughtered the Igbos and set the people Free. The Hausa soldiers were seen as an hero and if not for the Fulani atrocities, many SS States actually had no problems with the northerners.


This is the reason South South will never be part of Biafra but will prefer to be a country in its own. I like Igbos Sha,but the Biafra war story cannot be twisted because multiple accounts from Benin were not really good what their soldiers did.

And of what significance is the ibibios to the igbos, stop making yourselves appear so important, igbos don't HV u in any of their plans ...
Fuucccc off

If Ibibio were not significant, you wouldn't be coveting their territory.
We don't fuckin care about Biafra so be warned.

Obi that is not even fit to lace Obong Akpabio's sandals wants to rule Nigeria.

Lol, Akwa Ibom people ain't bitter and hateful like you. We know those that are always full of hate, bitterness and frustration. I can bet you're not only a Yoruba Muslim but also Tinubu supporter. You exhibit their characteristics 💯%. Your moniker alone has exposed you.

Nah how dem turn Obi to a messiah funny pass in all this

Obi was useless as a Governor

In fact, a thread was created in 2011, to complain about how horrible Obi led administration is in Anambra

One of them once told me Obi built over 2000km of road in Anambra State, I asked him to list out the names of the road, till today, I never hear from him

Nigeria is more complicated than all those countries that you mentioned.
Mark you should any region be allowed to secede others will follow suit and there will be nothing like Nigeria.
Also should Nigeria disintegrate, the new regions would constantly be at war amongst themselves.
Even your Igbo leaders like Obi and Orji are still fighting to rule Nigeria and you believe they will allow children like Ekpa and Nnamdi to kill their dream?
Even the South South would make life miserable for Biafra because it is a landlocked territory.
Believe you me, it would be easier for a carmel to pass thru the eye of a needle than for Nigeria to divide

fuckuigbos:
Go to Plaza in Uyo and shout Biafra if you will live to tell the story.
Bury your Biafra dream and join hands with Tinubu to make Nigeria a better place.

limeta:
Why this now

proeast:


Again, you keep exposing your ignorance. How is Nigeria more complicated than former USSR? Do you know how vast that country used to be, encompassing half of the Northern hemisphere! It had Asians, Europeans, Persians, and Arabs as natives!

Russians were the dominant and most influential. They never wanted the country to break up. They had nukes and vast weapons of warfare. Yet they couldn't stop USSR from breaking up.

To even believe that SS can hinder Igbos/Biafra in anything also shows your ignorance. What does ijaws or Anioma and Ibibio have in common? Can Ibibio form a country with Benin and uhrobo in it?

The only thing that United SS is crude oil and nothing else. So, believing that SS could forge into a single nation is the height of delusion.

ATROCITIES PERPETRATED AGAINST THE IBIBIO DURING THE BIAFRAN WAR:

WRITTEN BY RAY ISONG;-

The Nigerian-Biafran War started on July 6, 1967 and ended on January 15, 1970. The former Eastern Region of Nigeria seceded from Nigeria and declared its independence on May 30, 1967, following the massacre of the Igbo people who were living in the northern parts of Nigeria.

The dominant argument in the historiography of the civil War, both within academia and the popular media, is that the Igbo were targeted for extermination by the Muslim north. Yet, not much has been reported about the atrocities perpetrated against the “minorities” in Biafra, both by the Nigerian military forces and the Biafran militias. In particular, the ibibio people.

William Norris of the London Times who visited Biafra, reported an eye- witness account in which some men of Ibibio ethnic origin were beaten to death at Umuahia on April 2, 1968. These Ibibios who included old men and young men were apparently suspected of collaborating with advancing Nigerian troops. They were reportedly frog-marched across an open space while the local people attacked them with sticks and clubs.

In a related account, B. J. Ikpeme, a member of a minority group and retired Senior Medical Officer in the then Eastern Region revealed atrocities perpetrated by Biafran soldiers against the minorities in some towns in the present-day Cross River and Akwa- Ibom States. Ikpeme argued that Ojukwu’s declaration of the Republic of Biafra had been issued against the wishes of the majority of the people of Calabar, Ogoja, and Rivers Provinces, who for many years had agitated for a separate state of their own.

According to Ikpeme, the Igbo leadership, who did not like the minority agitation, decided either to force the five million non-Igbo minorities into the new republic or eliminate them. It was on this basis, claims Ikpeme, that Biafran soldiers were quickly sent to the minority areas to “keep down the people, detain or even kill all who dared raise a voice in protest against the idea of Biafra.” It was during this period that the non-Igbos started experiencing different forms of inhumane treatment, ranging from torture, detention, to killing.

Ikpeme himself was detained in what he described as a “concentration camp” and was later transferred to a prison cell where he was given urine to drink when he demanded water. Ikpeme described instances where the Biafra soldiers allegedly perpetrated atrocities against some members of non-Igbo groups. In Asang town in Enyong, from where Ikpeme originated, about four hundred people were carried away to an unknown destination. Another town called Attan Onoyon in the same Enyong was burnt down with many people killed by the Biafran soldiers.

In Ikot Ekpenyong in the present day Akwa Ibom State, Biafra soldiers were said to have shot many villagers. Ikpeme also recounted that similar killings carried out by Biafra soldiers took place in places like Ikot Okpot and Idoro. He equally alleged that when the Nigerian troops landed in Calabar on October 18, 1967, about 169 civilians in detention were lined up and shöt by Biafran soldiers. This same allegation had also been published in The New York Times as an informational advertisement by the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in New York. These two accounts, given by the survivor-victim of Ikun and Dr. Ikpeme, portray similar pictures of gross atrocities but with different underlying objectives.

Viòlencé towards the minorities was not perpetrated only by the Biafran troops. Approximately 2,000 Efiks were reportedly killèd in Calabar by the federal troops. The victims were said to be returnees who revolted against the federal occupation. The killing was reported to Gowon who subsequently appointed Dr. J. B. Ikpeme as Chief Justice when the killing had nearly been completed. According to Emeka Uhuegbu, the field administrator of the United Nations mandated demining project, the minority areas of Rivers State had the highest number of landmine victims. Akwa Ibom and Imo States follow on the list.

According to a study on Nkari, an ibibio clan bordering Akwa Ibom and Abia State, in Ini LGA, the Nigerian Civil War military operation did not reach Nkari villages until late 1968. Before this period, the Nkari people only felt the effects of the war. Essential food such as salt, crayfish, sugar, bread and so on were lacking leading to starvation in the area. There was no army occupation of the Nkari clan during the early period of the war in 1967, the people only heard from news on the radio that there was a civil war going on in the country, later they experienced scarcity of goods and drugs in the market.

In late 1968, Nkari people started seeing soldiers in the community. The people, mostly men were asked to queue up for the exchange of currency, from Naira to Biafran pounds, and all men of the clan who queued up for the exercise were marched out of the community to an unknown destination.

(Inwang:2018) also added that some of the men in the queue who later escaped while they were led by the men dressed in military uniform wondered why only men were mandated and taken out of the community to exchange Nigerian currency for the Biâfrâ money. Therefore, some people escaped into the bush whenever they were out of sight of the soldiers.

Women waited for days, weeks and months and their husbands did not return. Therefore, they fled from the community leaving the entire area desolate. The study found out that they were Biâfrân soldiers hired by neighboring Igbo villages to carry out the nefarious and dastardly act, so as to evict the people from their land. Till date, Nkari people are still in land disputes with neighboring Igbo villages – Ariam/Usaka, Ntalakwu, Ibere.

Baba Biafra is a pipe dream and we will not let Igbos go anywhere. You should be grateful that Nigeria is feeding the Igbos cuz they bring nothing to the table.

gidson12:

Now I know your aim, so it's all about Obi and the election. So this foolish thread was designed to cause tribal clash between the peace that igbos and the akwa iboms hv enjoyed from time immemorial.
Why not defend your Lord Tinubu in peace without inciting hatred.

You are very demonic.

Just to bring to your attention the atrocities of the past and why the word "SE/SS" is an aberration.

I won't deny your story because it was almost same in my community in core Southeast state.


During war, countries conscript youths into the army by force. Even Russia planned to do this to save their country.



Soldiers generally, but more especially African soldiers are known for being stupid towards civilians, so such atrocities are expected from black soldiers during war.



It has nothing to do with Igbo but more to do with war and what comes with it.



But in all, I condemn it, we the young generation of Igbos condemn all such atrocities committed by some Biafran soldiers during the civil war, its regrettable, my uncle was a Biafra battalion commander and close ally of Ojukwu such that Ojukwu passed some nights in my uncles house in my hometown during the war, during his usual unannounced visits of different Biafran communities.


My uncle did told about some of the bad things soldiers under his command did in Edo before they withdrew back to Umunede then to Asaba and later Onitsha, and he said some of the soldiers under his command then who went against his strict rule of engagement received instant judgment like being hit by stray bullet, some their guns jammed during fierce combat and they got taken out by the enemy bullets.


I remember him telling us how he warns his battalion soldiers never to steal or take a dime from a fallen soldier but some will never listen and they got instant judgment according to him. He and my father told us some of the things you must avoid as a battle soldier if you desire to come out of the war alive, such as:

fuckuigbos:
You can force a person that doesn't want you to be part of you. Mine you this is not 1960s....the South South is more powerful and richer than the Igbos now, any attempt to try what you did in the past will mark the end of the existence of what is known as South East on the map of Nigeria.

Psalmistproject:


Onukwu! So na for South East una dey get mouth. Mumu! How many of South East or South South indigenes own oil wells in South South. So you are nothing but a defeated slave that that his only concern is to ensure others remains enslaved. You can't land lock a major Ethnic group. You must create space for them to create their water network. That you moved close to the edge of the country doesn't make you owners of the waters surrounding the country. If you dare block others then be ready to be displaced right inside the ocean. That's my point ode!
