Sanchez01:

This is so unfortunate. Sorry, it only goes to show how shallow-minded you are. Perhaps you would call Igbos who don't align with Biafra as Osus or slaves, perhaps Igbos whose blood have been perverted.

The Itsekiris in question speak like the Yorubas, does that mean we should call them Yorubas just because Urhobo and Igbo call blood almost the same, and as such be the same?

I'll help you here. By design, the minorities you speak of, hold more power and influence over the country because they control the country's resources. Now, who wouldn't want to listen to the Urhobos or the Ijaws when they talk, knowing full well that they have the oils and pipelines at their disposal?

The so called minorities in the South South are not just minorities. It would be very easy for the FG to listen to the Urhobo/Itsekiri/Ijaw/Isoko monarchs before listening to the Ohaneze ndi Igbo. It's quite sad but it's the truth.

By the way, most of those who have impoverished the region are people from the region. The likes of Tompolo, Boyloaf and Asari Dokubo have all co tribute their massive share into desolating the creeks. So before you blame the North for certain woes which does not concern you, I'd suggest you study these things well.

Asari Dokubo is most angry today because his means and source of income has been blocked. His open agitation is just to keep him afloat and relevant in the scheme of things.

Biafra might have been hosted in French last week, that is none of our concern. The Gospel truth is that the Igbo man is not special in the eyes of an Urhobo man than the Yorubas/Ibibios/Anangs and the Hausas. We see everyone as one and the same.

If we would want to break away. Trust me, it wouldn't be with Biafra.

Below is a 2015 piece.

A 2015 piece. Perhaps, these people are impostors, shey? And then you might want to ask yourself what has changed ever since concerning Biafra and how we see it; NOTHING!

kingzizzy:
Whenever someone from the minorities of Nigeria says they are not interested in a referendum, it is a clear case of an impostor.

The minorities of Nigeria rarely have a say in what happens in Nigeria or how their future is decided.

So when someone is intent on making themselves more minor by denying themselves their right to a democratic referendum, then the person cannot be from the minorities. The minorities have had their oil wealth stolen for years, the suffer the effects of Oil exploration and they have been impoverished. It is not in that situation anyone rejoices about one Nigeria.




So whoever started this thread is ignorant, naieve and definitely not from one of the minorities.

fratermathy:


Oniovo me. Vwor ruru! Do!

These ekpari'hwo just cannot accept the reality that we are not interested. Who gave them the right to speak for us? We all know the facts of the matter.

I raised simple issues with their Biafran agitation and see what their responses were. None of them even pretended to shove aside their Igbocentricism. They are so igbocentric yet they want non-Igboid groups in their Biafra. The way they rush to defend their cause without objectively addressing facts shows us how they would do in their Biafra. No sane Urhobo man ever thinks of Biafra as a choice.

We discussed this thread in Urhobo People's Forum group on Facebook and in South South People's Forum group. You need to see how the reality didn't even surpise all of us. Even the few that were indifferent are now strongly anti-Biafra!

They keep creating enemies. They said I shiold substantiate my statement that only 1% of minority groups are interested in Biafra yet fail to prove otherwise even when there are statements from the recognised socio-cultural mouthpieces of these groups; even when many of us have come to this thread to deny Biafra! Some of them are even impersonating Urhobos now. See the video of this IPOB idi*t, whose accent is clearly Igbo, claiming to be Urhobo here:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8Wr4zq73dU

After impersonating us, they upload videos on the Internet, the likes of what one of them uploaded on this thread to say Rivers and Akwa Ibom women support them even when it is clear that these minorities have rejected their Biafra. Erue ri'hwo!

I asked them why they want to create another Nigeria in the name of freedom and they can't answer. You want a country. Why don't you take your people alone? Must you drag others with you? All the minorities have their own destinies and fights and Biafra is not one of them.

They ask me whether i have a right to speak for Urhobo and the minorities without asking themselves who gave them to rights to speak for Igbo and the minorities!

They said they need referendum. Oghene biko o! Did we ask for one? Has any group asked for one? Even if any has asked, was it so that they would be Biafrans?

The reality is glaring and they have refused to accept it. Just like in the issues I raised, they argued with emotions and tribal sentiments rather than logic and reason. They acted like the semi-literate IPOB traders that they are!

Okoh, biko yanjia vwo. Awanre mla ye vughe nurhe. Ayen rhi ihwo gbogbo. Ayen vwon ohor o! Biko rue mu ofa. Doh! Kobiruo!

Ekuogbe r'Urhobo v'Isoko Wadoooooo!
Omi Iwerre Dede!
Ijaw adoooo!
Hailings to my Efik, Ibibio, Oron, Eket, Anaang, Epie-Atissa, and Edo people!
Our destiny is in our hands, not in the hands of any other group or tribe!

ManMountain:


Those guys are simply desperate for association with those minorities.

I remember what Asari Dokubo said about Itsekiris in his his phone call to Radio Biafra a few weeks where he declared himself a Biafran. He disparaged them saying that only a referendum will allow them be part of Biafra. However, facts do not lie. Urohbos have become regular callers on Radio Biafra, the head of IPOB in Delta state is actually an Urohbo man. A few weeks ago, Radio Biafra was hosted in Urohbo language. I even.learnt some Urohbo that dat and was surprised that the word for 'blood' means the same thing in Urohbo and Igbo languages. Many Urohbos called in and pledged allegiance to Biafra.

So whoever started this thread is ignorant, naieve and definitely not from one of the minorities.

soliddust2020:


The urhobo nation is not going to participate in any referendum and never ever going to be part of biafra. You guys think we are your slaves that you can just wake up and drag along. Igbos action of trying to forcefully drag other minorities into biafra without consulting their leaders, youth and other stakeholders is disrespectful.

Nowenuse:


Don't blame them. Majority groups worldwide are always interested or desperate over minority groups in order to use them for greater influence, significance and to do their bidding.

This is one fact i wish the OP fratermathy should also know.
South-South minority groups are even lucky because they have a greater autonomy unlike those of us minorities from the North-Central and North-east whom are always overshadowed by Hausa-fulanis.
And to worsen our plight, Hausa-fulanis have succeeded in using religion (islam) to divide our people and gain the allegiance of our muslim groups. It's just sad.

Can't u see how the Russians were stripped of being world power and lost their world influence as soon as the Soviet union collapsed and the minority groups liberated? This is one thing most majority groups dread.

ConqueredWest:



Kingzizzy hope you have seen this comment


Referendum will hold in Urhobo land for all Urhobos to decide the side of the divide they want to be

Your war against referendum will die a natural death


God bless Urhobos

God bless Biafrans

fratermathy:


For as long as you never remove your egotistical and greedy eyes from Urhoboland, you and your ilk shall never get your promised land.


You can't force a referendum on a people that aren't interested in getting one. Wetin sef?

Did we say we want to leave Nigeria? Has any Urhobo started a movement for a referendum? In fact, has any minority tribe called for a referendum to join Biafra? Why superimpose yourself on them?

You IPOB Igbos are only bringing disgrace, insult and dishonour to the Igbo nation. Better get over your head now and see the facts. No Urhobo wants anything to do Igbos, talk less of Biafra!

As for your "God bless", we don't need it. Tell your "God" to give you Biafra first before blessing Urhobos. We don't subscribe to a "Chukwu Okike Abiama" that supports land grabbing, tribalism, misogyny and greed. Our "Oghene" stands for us.

The people have spoken. VOX POPULI, VOX DEI! We say NO to BIAFRA. Hear the people speak below (mind you, these are the BEST COMMENTS that favour Igbo people):

hammerF:


Urhobo People

Total population
c. 2 Million+

Religion
Christianity 80% Igbe religion 10% Others 10%

Mind u Isoko are a totally different ethnic group. They are not part of Urhobo.

fratermathy:


Okay. We know.

hammerF:


All this noise, una no reach 1 milly.

The giant of Africa and the most populous black nation on the earth is Nigeria, with a population of over 160 million people. Of that population, the fifth largest ethnic group is the Urhobo people of Delta State in the Western Niger-Delta Region, who number over 2.5 million spread across 22 kingdoms and covering over 5,000 kilometers. In Delta State, the Urhobo is the largest ethnic group, spanning over 10 of the 25 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and the entire Delta Central Senatorial District. In fact, Urhobos account for more than 2/5th of the 4.3 million Deltans, with Ughelli North being the largest LGA. Furthermore, the Urhobo nation is a major producer of petroleum and gas, two veritable resources that the world needs. Clearly, the Urhobos are a formidable ethnic group to be reckoned with both locally and internationally.

They should keep on attacking them with the bitter truth or don't you know that when lies is being told for a long period of time it becomes the alternative-fact? although they should only engage them when they are only bore and want someone to display social madness to break their boredom .

fratermathy:


You are right. When a people propagate lies for too long, they eventually begin to believe it as truth and fact except they are reminded of the true reality of affairs. The propagandists refused to address the issues I raised and started to derail the thread with silly sentimental yarns. I am very glad my people saw through this and were able to figure out the cluelessness behind their show of shame.

no need engaging people.. we know our people, they can rant all they want, believe me 98% haven't been to my state before, how I discuss with such peeps, as an individual we all have our goals , same way each tribe has there goals, I really don't want to be tribalistic here , fratermathy already spoke the truth, so no need arguing over and over again, you can see how they insist on that referendum ish, even when they know that referendum is only conducted when 2/3 of the population asked for it.

Nigeria is not the problem, the leaders are.

Since when is delta state a urhobo state?

I'm from delta state and I'm not urhobo.
Since when is anioma, iteskiri, isoko, ijaw, et urhobo?

No wonder you nitwit have refined the state to the mess it currently is and why you lots believe you must rule.

Ngozi123:


I find this argument to be heavily flawed and rather lazy as it takes away accountability from the masses. It's essentially saying to them "it's not your fault, it's your leaders' fault". This couldn't be further from the truth, considering that it's these same people who are going out to vote for these leaders. Until the masses stop and realise that they actually hold power over their leaders and not the other way around, nothing will change in Nigeria.

Efewestern:


lolz.. got your point sister, but it all point down to one things, Corruption, the Country needs to be restructured in a way things can be down transparently, The current system is not helping anybody.

if we can go back to regionalism then most of our problem is half solved, cause it breeds accountability, development e.t. c, but instead of the leaders to push for that they keep looting our resources and pay the youth some change so they can kill themselves.

The leaders are to be blamed.

bantudra:
biafra can never happen in nigeria without a war..

it will not go peaceful...forget it....

you biafrans are too desperate...the only thing the south east can get is more regional control...

a whole new nation is imposible in another nation..you still have to prove to us that you have the right to claim that nigerian soil in the south east...thinking un,icc,ai and whatever can force us in 2017 to anything is irresponsible...

if that is allowed then china,russia,spain,morocco,france,america and many more will have alot of trouble...

this nations will never be on biafras side..

the only way to get biafra is war!!!!!!!!!....

Efewestern:


Hello;

I never insulted anyone here, the only reason I commented on this thread was because I wanted a favour from my friend, so don't expect me to exchange word with you.

and besides I never said Delta state belongs to urhobo. get your fact right.


CC fratermathy more reason I insist this thread should be taken Down, this issue is getting boring by the day.

pazienza:


Russia remains a world power, with or without those breakaway Soviet nations.
The minorities are Ok on their own, but non of them are a force to reckon with on the world stage.

Ngozi123:


I wish that this would happen- truly, I do. However, I believe that this is less likely to happen than secession. The North would rather it were a separate country than actually have to share the same country with you guys and not have access to your resources. I truly believe that many Southerners are ignorant to just how much Northern leaders dislike them.
