Inasmuch is I respect your biafra struggle, I ll also as a southerner beg you not to include us in your struggle, where was Ojukwu in the Isaac Boro days, don't forget, the struggle for Niger delta Republic started long before the biafra struggle. So when you say we, am sorry, speak for thyself oh man.

Read everything Brother but as i am one of Those Parasites i feel Bad about that Tag. I believe unless You people get Your much wanted Independence from the Much hated union you find your self in,The north wont harness their own Resources. I'm in support of your struggle to secession. Not that i like the fact that the country is Breaking up cos this issue will definitely boil and in this Age i see a new State Arise but i see it as the only tonic to this Ailment called dependence on the black Gold. I wish you luck in this struggle

Was sympathizing with you and yet you remain blinded by your superfluous ineptitude to see reason. I am beginning to believe you are undeserving of the Brain in your cranium cos you appear to be completely Dead from the neck. I piety you and your mingebag of a Nation and i Assure you, if you Stupidly start a war again, what happened In the late 60s will be like a flea bite. Arsemonging Skiver

Thank you my brother. I expect more of us to come out and voice our opinion otherwise yorubas will continue to speak for us deceptively.

When they say SE will marginalize us...I laugh. Igbos have one of the most egalitarian societies in the world. Did they marginalize us under Eastern government? No. Has there been any account in history of Igbos invading their neighbors...Ibibio, Efik, Ijaw, e.t.c? No...not one account even though they had the capability to do so. Let's stop buying into the enemies divisive tactics that was used on our fathers...45 yrs later we are today suffering their folly. If we this generation apply the same folly, our children shall suffer immensely. Yes Igbos are our big brother and have tendency to over pet us which may make us seem wary of their intentions. They have no adverse intentions...they are protective of us just as any older silbling would be to his/her younger siblings. Same way they stood by GEJ from start to finish even to their detriment politically.

Republic of Biafra shall have a provincial government. Every province shall have equal representation in the House of Biafra. Representatives from the provinces will elect their prime minister. Any decisions the prime minister takes shall be approved by the equal representation of all provinces' representatives. So how is marginalization possible with this power formula?

I' ll end with Asari Dokubo words...Niger Delta can ever leave Nigeria without alliance with Igbos.

legendsilver:
and who told u Asari dokubo cares about his people?
if you believe he does, why then did he traveled as far as Benin Republic to pinch his university? I'm a proud south south and never will I support a move orchestrated with greed and biasness. I believe in one Nigeria and NO to a fake Biafra full of selfish interest.

why didn't the east and south south cried and agitate for this same Biafra when formal president Goodluck Jonathan was in power?
pls provide answers, thanks

Sash mechi onu GI. Biafra did not include Edo state because your ppl have proven repeatedly you're more like yoloba so why include una?We might as well include yoloba then if that's the case or stay in one niggeria then. Abeg. If you check the tribe included, it consists of tribes Igbo traded with and interacted with throughout history likewise tribes that have shown support or members of biafran group. For example: ogoni is not included in biafra because they themselves have shown interest to be on their own and biafra, unlike niggeria, respect ppl wish to self independence. Likewise Edo, iteskiri, urhobo/ isoko aren't included because we have nothing in common with una and on top of that historical wise, una are identical to yoloba.
Ijaw inclusion is still a mystery to me. Ibibio and co were included because they have members in ipob, massob, etc. Idoma and igala included are just the small community found in Enugu and Anambra state and like both nnamdi and so stated, if they don't want to be in biafra..no one will force them to stay, rather they will be escorted back to their ancestors land in middle belt but no part of Enugu or anambra is going with them.

So let it be known to you Edo was not included because una no get oil. In fact, the only time ppl ever mention Edo does not have oil is whenever your ppl stay on NL chest beating Igbo wants your oil, Igbo wants your oil yet una aren't producing sh1t. Abeg.

pazienza:
By supporting Biafra, ethnicities in SS will gain a veritable tool to negotiate total resource control, if they wish to stay in Nigeria.
As Nigeria will have no option but to offer them total resource control, if not they dump Nigeria for Biafra.

Trillyonaire:
As a Rivers man who saw the events of 1967-1970 and who was old enough to understand them, this protest in Port Harcourt is a slap on true Rivers indigenes. and the memory of ALL the Rivers men and women who were slaughtered in the pogroms and ethnic cleansing committed during the civil war by the Biafran Army.

Let us remind ourselves of the TRUE facts and REAL reasons behind the secession and subsequent civil war. Ojukwu and his cohorts decided to secede from Nigeria because Gowon broke up the regions and created Rivers State among the 12 states he created. Remember the Aburi accord? Article 4 of that accord had to do with the breaking up of the regions. On the 27th of May, 1967, Gowon broke up the Regions, from the then Eastern Region and carved out Rivers, South-Eastern and East-Central states. 3 days later on 30th May, 1967 Ojukwu seceded citing the Aburi accord. ON ABURI WE STAND!! The rallying war cry of the day. How anyone who calls himself/herself a Rivers indigene support tacitly or otherwise the so-called Biafra cause when Biafra seceeded just because Rivers State was created and the Rivers people for once had a right to self rule?

In the quest for a sovereign country did the Igbo majority seek, discuss with or solicit the support of the minorities in the Oil Rivers and South-East?? Where is Biafra? How do you seek for a country which was susequently named Biafra WITHOUT involving the indigenous people of Biafra? Isn't that supreme arrogance or maybe they were not included because they were meant to be wiped out later. Events proved the latter to be true.

Late Chief (Dr.) Nabo Graham-Douglas who was the Attorney General of the Eastern Region was sent on compulsory leave and exiled to his home town Abonnema with orders for him to be executed. Fortunately the plans leaked and he miraculously escaped. He didn't draw the Articles of secession and only heard about Biafra from the BBC journalists who came to interview him in Abonnema.
He was one of the lucky ones.

The ethnic cleansing began in earnest. Our intelligentsia; top civil servants, technocrats and other able bodied men and women were rounded up and summarily executed in Enugu, Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Degema, Buguma, Bakana, to mention but a few towns/cities. In Port Harcourt, Rainbow town and Igritta, became killing fields. the bones of those victims still lie there
These atrocities were committed by the Biafran Army, against people who were supposed to be fighting the same cause with them.
In a bid to wipe out the minority tribes, our towns and villages were evacuated, our men put to slave labour and later on shot (reminiscent of Nazi Germany), our women taken as sex slaves, young boys shared the same fate as the men. Bakana, Bille, Abonnema were all forcefully evacuated.

Finally, when the Nigerian Army counter attacked and liberated Port Harcourt, the retreating Biafran Army, burnt Kingsway (now Supabod building), Nabo Graham-Douglas's law library (which was the best Law library in the whole of West Africa) and other land marks in the Garden city. Of what military significance were these acts??

I don't blame the misguided ill-informed people for trampling on the graves of those who were murdered by the Biafran Army, by protesting in Port Harcourt. I blame Gowon for forbidding accounts of the war being published after the war, but more importantly for not trying war criminals (like Col Ojeh of Degema) within the Biafran Army and holding them accountable for their inhuman and murderous actions during the war. 70 years after World War 2, we are still reminded on a daily basis the atrocities that the Nazi's committed. If Gowon had done what he was morally and duty bound to do, this matter of Biafra would have been put to rest once and for all.

By the way, in May 1968, my uncle (my mother's younger brother) was shot in his Warri street residence in Port Harcourt, his corpse butchered, his flesh sold as Biafra meat in Mile 1 market. That same day the Nigerian Army opened up and started shelling Port Harcourt, which was ultimately liberated

Are those protesting and the other supporters of "Biafra" aware of these facts??

The war has been over these past 45 years, we are forging on as a country, setting aside our ethnocentric issues. That Ex-Biafrans have been assimilated into all spheres of our society (as they should), without any punishment meted out to the war criminals among them, doesn't give anyone the right to re-write history or bring these painful memories back.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
