On whether ijaws would have ruled biafra,well,eyo ita was once a premier of the easter region,and he wasn't igbo. You boast about GEJ being the number one citizen today,but you have forgotten who gave him a strong base to build from,endorsed him even before he won the primaries,what made you think it would have been different in biafra? Wasn't adaka boro elected the SUG president in UNN,an igbo dominated university. 2 Likes |

ijaw citizen: Having read through all the comments posted since my last visit, I don't know why certain people still want me to comment on this unintellectual discussion.Yet you have not answered the question I asked you earlier on. Abagworo read somewhere that Ijaws are about 14 million. Nairalanders said no and that they are between 3-5 million. Which figure is accepted. |

On the permanent secretaries issue,i don't really know much about that,perhaps dede or eziachi can come and throw light on that one. On the ijaw ever rulling biafra,i doubt that would have been a problem,biafra was structured such that each province controls it's resources,while paying a token to the centre,in such a scenario,i don't even think anybody would be much bordered about who is at the centre,people would rather hussle for regional appointments and posts. Biafra was eastern nigerian affair,any attempt to make it an igbo affair would always be built on dishonesty. 3 Likes |

ow11: Why must Ikemba consult with practically or politically nobodies such as UJ Esuene and Diete-Spiff before the declaration of Biafra? It is only malnourished lapper will think a territory in Nigeria ever belonged to UJ Esuene or Diete-Spiff. Where was UJ Esuene when Bakassi was ceded to Cameroon? I suggest you take very good look at Nigeria and ask yourself if you really want to reincarnate airheads such as UJ Esuene or Diete-Spiff? These two moronic ninnies in UJ Esuene and Diete-Spiff proved that northerners are, after all, smart. UJ Esuene died of heart failure due to the toilet paper treatment Gowon and northern elites gave to him after civil war while Diete-Spiff is still clowning around in Nembe creek as inconsequential village head. You actually represented the true color of moronic Ijo with respect to education. However, I know Ijo is better than your silly representation of them. Ijo was once a minister in eastern region. Speakers are not appointed but elected. 6 Likes |

ow11: Another thread about Ijaw with a lot more Igbo bigots commenting and venting their spleen about what they don't know. The civil war loss has spoilt some people's farm land grab (Cross River) and oil block grab (RV, BY and AK) plans. I am not surprised. The above post is an illogical crap from renowned drunken fisherman. What a loser. |

@Abagworo, you created a thread for the ijaw plight. Nigerians not only Ndigbo contributed here negatively or positively, yet Ndigbo are the ones being insulted now by the ijaws. Please let the ijaws handle their problems. I know you mean well for them but in actual fact, they hate you (us) not because we are neighbours but because they know we are more prosperous. |

Wasn't the name biafra chosen by an ijaw house member,frank opugo? Who were the members of the consultative assembly? Was the consultative assembly of men the same as the Eastern House? Who is Frank Opigo? abi na ''Opugo'' Why isn't he mentioned in any document besides Nairaland posts and online references written by Biafran sympathisers?

The same Eyo Ita that was the brains behind Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers state creation (COR) - a state in the Eastern Region with non-Igbos. I'm sure he enjoyed his tenure as head of Eastern Region.

Duru1: Ndo o Biafra is gone. . . Your homeland is filled with kidnappers, jobbers and erosion. I'd rather live by the sea; fish and quaff my whiskey than live on palm kernels and corn in an erosion laden back water and b'itch about my failed attempt at grabbing free oil and land from my neighbours. Then assuage my over inflated ego with my perceived superiority and prosperity. Look at PHC, the areas dominated by the drunken fishermen are crime free whilst all the kidnap hotspots and hideouts are in the domain of these chest beaters and rabble rousers. 5 Likes |

afam4eva: @AFAM FOREVER JUST RECENTLY I READ ON THIS FORUM HOW UR APPOOINTMENT AS AN ADMIN WAS HIGHLY CRITICIZED, NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU AS APERSON BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR MYOPIC AND YET UNREPENTANTLY IGNORANT VIEWS. NOW HE IS POSTULATING THAT OGONIS ARE MORE THAN IJAWS IN RIVERS STATE. OK, LET DO THE ANALYSIS: RIVERS STATE HAS 23 LGAS OF WHICH THE FOLLOWING BELONG TO IJAWS; 1.ASARI TORU 2.AKUKU TORU 3.ABUA/ODUA 4.ANDONNI 5.OKRIKA 6.OGU/BOLO 7.BONNY 8.OPOBO/NKORO 9.DEGEMA Two other lgas are partly shared with Igboid groups, they are PORT HARCOURT AND AHOADA WEST LGAS ( HQS OF BOTH IN IJAW TERRITORIES, OLD GRA & AKINIMA) THE FOLLOWING BELONG TO OGONI *TAI *ELEME *KHANA THE REMAINING 9 ARE IGBO LGAS.

Ngodigha1: FOR THE SAKE OF THOSE WHO DIDN't READ THEIR ELEMENTARY ECONOMICS & GOVERNMENT IN SECONDARY SCHOOL (AT LEAST), LET ME POINT OUT THAT IN PREVIOUS CENSUSES CONDUCTED SOMETIMES IN THE 70'S, ETHNIC GROUPS WERE INDICATED AND 10 MILLION IJAWS WERE RECORDED NOT ONLY IN OLD RIVERS STATE, BUT NATIONWIDE NOT EVEN ACCOUNTING FOR THOSE OVERSEES, AND THOSE THAT WEREN'T COUNTED DUE TO THE DIFFICULT TERRAIN OF OUR ENVIRONMENT. FOR MORE INFOMATION, STUDY THE PREVIOUS CENSUS FIGURES OF NIGERIA. THANK YOU |
Re: Ijaw Deserves 1 Or 2 More States by Ngodigha1(m): 3:28pm On Jan 04, 2013 |
ijaw citizen:There has never been any census figures that has claimed ijaws are up to 10 million. Stop spreading falsehood. Nevertherless, you hardly find any ijaw outside Bayelsa, Rivers and delta states. @Nairalanders, do you see any ijaw at your work place, business centre, classroom or in your neighbourhood. Me personally hardly see any or hear of any. |
Re: Ijaw Deserves 1 Or 2 More States by vicenzo(m): 3:55pm On Jan 04, 2013 |
Yes,i meant the eastern region consultative assembly. It had 335 members,of which 166 were non-igbos and 169 were igbos,they voted for seccesion of the eastern region from nigeria. I don't know how else you want me to prove that frank opigo was the member that suggested the name biafra,since you have termed all articles containing that info as pro biafran, i wonder were else u expect to see such things concerning biafra. 1 Like |

Eyo ita ousting had no tribal undertone,it was more or less ideological differences between him and zik. After zik lost out in the western region elections,zik soughth for the reformation of the macpherson constitution,Zik wanted total independence. NCNC called it's central ministers to resign in other to actualize this goal, but some of the central ministers who were feeling good with their present position refused to resign,they were A.C nwapa(igbo), Eni njoku(igbo) and okoi arikpo(ogoja), only endeley(cameroun) agreed to resign,the former three were consequently dismissed from the party. |
Re: Ijaw Deserves 1 Or 2 More States by vicenzo(m): 4:33pm On Jan 04, 2013 |
Eya ita was not happy with the dismissal of the three central ministers by the party,and he himself refused to resign,he was not alone,other eastern house members that refused to resign were E:I oli(igbo), S.J una(ogoja),R.I uzoma(igbo) S.W ubani. Those that complied with the party directive were Dr M.I Okpara(igbo),M.C Awgu(igbo) and S.T muna(bamenda). Eyo ita and his gang decided to sit tight,NCNC members decided to rubbish the house by voting to defer every bill before the house,the british Lt governor got fed up,and decided to pass the regional appropriation bill into law. 1 Like |

Eyo ita,the expelled ministers,a few other legislators and his supporters who had resigned from NCNC formed a new party called NIP. Zik got his wish,when the lyttleton constitution of 1954 which granted residual powers to the regions. The eastern house was dissolved,fresh elections conducted,eyo ita's NIP party was in opposition,they lost,NCNC won,and zik ascended the throne. It wasn't until 1959 that eyo ita rejoined NCNC. As you can see,eyo ita's ousting had no tribal undertone,as he equally had igbos who decamped from NCNC with him. 2 Likes |

@Ow11 @ Ijaw_citizen I often wonder why some of you ogogoro drinking, fish brained folks like to talk about Biafra war loss as if it is your nirvana. A careful research would indicate that since the end of the war, your swamps have been the butt of the nation, producing nothing except what is underground, placed there by God, OWNED BY ALL NIGERIANS. Please try to compare East central state (the 1967 Gowonian/Diete spiff Igbo state) to your parts of SS. It is self evident that Ndigbo have benefitted by FAR more from your "Igbo war loss" than you.lol. Now imagine what Ndigbo shall benefit from your loss in the future, which is certain because all it takes for that to happen is for Igbo to make good with other major tribes in Nigeria. Like I said before, you don't need us and we don't need you. We are fine, thank you! It is in my interest to be a CORE Nigerian now. BTW I will campaign to ensure that no Igbo supports Jonathan post 2015, because the tail does not wag the dog. He can hand over to any person (except Ijaw of course, lol) in Nigeria. We Ndigbo have survived A WAR; we also survived some of the most anti-Igbo heads of state in Nigeria, and we still managed to dominate and rule over you virtually; so we shall survive. Imagine what we will do to you when we have FULLY EMBRACED YOUR MINDSET. Be afraid my friend. 5 Likes |

@Vicenzo, You are wasting your explanations bro. They don't need it. In any case, they cannot understand it. Mindset is inherent. Think about how you want to benefit from the Nigerian nation. We Ndigbo have MAJOR stake in it. We should embrace our stake and assume the role God assigned to us. 1 Like |

please guys, lets stop this emotions from boiling over. you know what, we need to get back on topic. so if ijaw because of their population need to add state, shouldnt we be creating separate states in north for fulani based on population and deman for pastoral grounds? conflicts between fulani and others is based on land encroachment disputes. if they have their own states there is no reason they should be going on other people land to fight for access to graze. what do yall think? |
Re: Ijaw Deserves 1 Or 2 More States by DuduNegro: 6:14pm On Jan 04, 2013 |
zamfara and sokoto and kebbi should be fulani states. katsina, kano, jigawa and bauchi should be hausa states. split kaduna and put the northern pasrt with hausa states borno, yobe and gombe should be kanuri states consolidate people back to their ethnic groupings and then return power to the regions. in the scenario above you will have nw, nc, ne. each zone is an ethnic home and yet a political bloc. these are issues we need to talk about instead distressing my loving ijaw family. ijaw, we love you. |
