THROWBACK ON BIAFRA:
FEW FACTS EVERY RIVERS & BAYELSAN MUST KNOW ABOUT THE DECLARATION OF THE STATE OF BIAFRA IN 1967.

1. Did you know that the State of Biafra was declared three (3) (30/05/1967) days after Rivers State (comprising present Rivers State and Bayelsa State) was created on 27/05/1967?

2. Did you know that one of the reasons for the declaration of Biafra (which is rarely spoken about) is the creation of Rivers State, which appeared, rightly so too, to have whittled down the grip and control of the then Eastern Nigeria over the resources and affairs of the area called Rivers State, especially Port Harcourt City?

3. Did you know that before the creation of Rivers State (and the resultant declaration of Biafra-three days after) that Port Harcourt was literarily "colonized" by the Igbos, who used their influence as the majority group/tribe in the then Eastern State of Nigeria to marginalized the present people of Rivers and Bayelsa States?

4. Did you know that the oppression and marginalization were so much that the indigenous land(s) of the Port Harcourt people especially were forcibly taken over from them, renamed and developed by force; and if resisted, such resistant indigene was arrested to Enugu and some were not lucky enough to survive the maltreatment, inhumanity that followed?

5. Did you know that the atrocities and inhumanity were so much that the Nigeria Government acknowledge it and agreed to concede a state for the indigenous people residing in the present Rivers and Bayelsa State?

6. Did you know that as a result of the manifest oppression and brut force in the manner which the Igbos forcibly took over land from the indigenous people of the area within Rivers and Bayelsa, especially Port Harcourt, Rivers State was the ONLY STATE IN NIGERIA, (not even in the state of the champions on either side of the war), after the Civil War, where landed Properties were declared ABANDONED PROPERTY upon a Military Decree (which exists as part of the Laws of Rivers State till date)?

7. Did you know that the Abandoned Property Law was made to allow the Igbos show prove that the properties were legitimately acquired, and with mutual consent of the original indigenous owners?

8. Did you know that 85% of the Igbos could not show legitimate prove of acquisition of those "forcibly" acquired properties in Port Harcourt and that they still bear old grudge till date for the loss?

9. Do you know that they still retain same old attitudes, with no form of remorse and apology to Rivers people.

Hmm...

Now , we know.

The cherry on top of this will be a source .

Cos , some people are fond of making obviously rediculous refutations

All lies. How come all the oil blocks are not controlled by igbos today? Wouldn't it have been better if igbos controlled the oil blocks as their neighbors, than far away North?

The Biafran soldiers used brut force, murder, maim and other vices to subdue the people of ND into Biafra. A crime they are currently accusing the Nigerian government.

Yoruba's will stop at nothing to sow seeds of discord between the south east and south south, while romancing the north and wishing the South south remain ignorant.

Emeka! Relax, why should the igbos control all the oil blocks?

Oh! So this Biafra thing is actually about the oil resources in the Niger Delta?

Nope. Since they said Igbos are after their resources, the question now is, are they or the Igbos in charge of it now?

Igbos were just business people like they did all over Nigeria. So how come Igbos were not in control of their resources then and now.

I don't even support the Biafra agitation but true federalism. Igbos have enough resources and skills to develop as a region.

I don't know why there is need for SS, let every region develop .We will benefit from each other as neighbors.

"They ignore you"
"They ridicule you"
"Then they fight you"
And
"YOU WIN".

I am 100% Niger Deltan, why are the Igbos so eager for the ND to merge with Biafra? When the ND can use the same referendum for self determination. You are accusing the North of forcibly integrating Igbos into Nigeria, and here you are forcibly trying to integrate another region into Biafra. Is that not hypocrisy?

Look at that one up there complaining that they should be controlling our resource by the simple fact that they are "our neighbors".

During the Civil war, the people of ND were simply casualties, each side fighting to integrate us into them for the sole purpose of our wealth. We say no more, in the event of the disintegration of Nigeria, we are neither going with Biafra or the other side. We are standing on our, no longer shall we be used.

Do u know that Yoruba Christians are not given fair treatment by Yoruba Muslims in SW ? ,

1, Only Yoruba Muslims have been Gov of Lagos until the outcry became too much by Yoruba Christians and Yoruba Muslims had no other alternative than succumb to pressure that was mounted on them by Yoruba Christians by installing Ambode as Lag state gov and he's going to be the last Christian governor according to the source

2, You hardly see Yoruba Muslims critisizing northeners the way they treat southern Christians even if their brothers Yoruba Christians are involved all because of religion.

3,'Do u know that Yoruba muslins kept quite when Northeners said that Osibanjo (a christian)won't succeed Buhari come 2019 but quick to critisize one of their own Ffk who happens to be a Christian as well for speaking out and condemned the comment made by northerners about Osibanjo not succeeding Buhari come 2019. Yoruba Muslims did this because they share the same faith with Buhari

4,, Are you also aware that there are more Muslim governors in SW than Christian governors ?
I PITY YORUBA CHRISTIANS !!.
One day, you guys will wake up and find out that even the little ones you have have been handed over to Muslim northeners by your muslim brothers.
No Yoruba Muslim will unveil these facts to you except the sincere ones like
Ejanla077, Princesaha, midol, thughcheetah and other sincere Yoruba Muslims out there.

YORUBA CHRISTIANS WAKE UP NOW

WAKE UP !

Honestly, I as an Igbo don't even understand it? What's the big deal about ND?

I will only support the unity of Igbos and ND in the call for true federalism, so that another region far away does not control the resources in our backyards.Because even the so called wealth of the ND is creating billionaires in another region and not theirs.

Let every region develop at their own pace.

You know what? It was not God that created the three regions, neither was it God that created six geopolitical zones or the states, but men as a function of political and economic expediency.

Are you calling for the old regional structure that favored the major tribe in each region as it were?

The problem is this attitude of hate and division along too many lines that pervades our national discourse even though we claim to be religious, which itself is a dividing factor.

Lol

I find your stand amusing, you are doing nothing presently to form your own nation or even complain of the decades of northern oppression on Niger Delta, you only regain your croaky voice each time you hear the word Biafra.

Is this not very amusing indeed

Who opened this thread to lament about Biafra, you!
Have you ever opened a thread to lament about Fulani rape of Urhobo girls and women? NO.

That is why I think you are not from the Niger Delta, you are more concerned about stopping Biafra than the welfare of the Niger Delta people.

Kkkkkkkkkk is this all you can do?, I was born a Muslim, I grew up Muslim, I'm married to a Muslim but we are both Christian now, are you trying to get me to wake up and fight my father because you are frustrated?.
The more you look the less you see, here in SW we are a very big family, so you don't know that the most important thing around here is our acknowledgements of God?, his omnipresent, Omnipotent, omniscient?, we acknowledged him as the Alpha and the Omega.
We acknowledged and appreciate his works as the source and sustainer of everything he created.
We don't care about anybody's religion, how anybody or everybody serve God is not anybody's business around here, I hope you dig it.

No, I don't dig it. From what you just wrote, you people are one confused tribe of people hopping around from religion to religion without any understanding of the true teachings of any.

You just painted your tribe as a fickle minded bunch of people.

Your systematic killing, taking over lands and renaming them. We are familiar with your antecedents, it will be going from frying pan to fire to join you Igbos.

We fought and lost, Ken Saro fought, Adaka Boro fought, and recently revolted. We have decided to go legal, referendum.

The Igbos fought and lost, resulting in over 2 million deaths. Just because we are not carrying placards and making noise doesn't mean we are not doing anything.

Stop twisting and dodging my question, how many threads have you opened that supports your love of the Niger Delta?

How many threads have you opened to condemn Fulani rape of Urhobo women and girls right there in the Niger Delta.?

How many threads have you opened to continue the fight from where Saro wiwa stopped?

How shallow can one get, by your definition, I can only demostrate my love for the ND by opening threads on NL.

Since you are so interested, I have opened one now. Better late than never.

You are a south south impostor. Any I worry that many people will think you have the interest of the south south at heart. If you a from the region,first spend a few years campaigning for a better deal for the south south before venturing into Biafran matters which is well above you level of exposure.

Tonyebarcanista we know, who are you?

No, a structure where states have their own constitution, with a regional development framework and minimal interference from federal Government. Federal governments will look to states and regions for allocation not the other way round. The power at the center is reduced drastically and it becomes less attractive. We save the money we use to overfeed the Senate and reps , and invest it in infrastructure and development of states.

You will have to find sonething else to 100% because there is no ethnic group in the world called Niger Delta.

By the way, have you asked Ijaw, Itshekiri, Ibibio etc in referend7m if they want to be with you?

They want a country where they will be the majority and use the South South's wealth to develop their barren land.

What will stop the ibos from producing the President of their scam country everytime without giving the ND people chance?

Will it not be another case of North vs South?

I know South South people are not so clueless.

Why must they remain under someone when they can easily stay alone
