DELTA State's Igbo community has warned Biafran
separatists they do not have the consent of the Anioma
people to add them to their secession scheme and any
attempt to do so will result in a war far worse than the 1967
to 1970 conflict.
Following the arrest of Radio Biafra director Nnamdi Kanu
two weeks ago, his supporters campaigning for a
breakaway republic have been holding rallies across
Nigeria, calling for the rebirth of the defunct republic.
However, Ndi Anioma, the umbrella body representing all
Igbos in Delta State, has distanced itself from the scheme,
saying they should not be added to these secessionist
plans.
Ndi Anioma spokesperson Lauretta Onochie, said: "Like
most observers who followed the nature of Biafra in 1967,
Ndi Anioma is of the view that Biafra died permanently in
1970 with the surrender speech made by Philip Effiong in
which he emphatically stated that Biafra ceases to exist,
following Col Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu fleeing to Ivory
Coast. In spite of this circumstance, a few resentful people
of southeast origin who are attempting to exploit a non-
existent opportunity to make the present democratic
dispensation ungovernable, have keyed into the Movement
for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra's
(Massob) long-time motive designed to secede their people.
"Worse still, some people of that region have gone on a wild
chase of goose, making diagrammatic representation in an
irredentist manner where important territories outside the
southeast, including our Anioma have been included in their
inventive maps to convince the world on the expansiveness
of Biafra and probably for the benefit of oil in Anioma.
These people have made a long journey from their southeast
region to Asaba, the Delta State capital, blocking off major
roads to give the false impression that the Anioma people
have agreed to be part of Biafra but for posterity, Ndi
Anioma must make its position clear that it has never been
part of Biafra in history or administration."
She added that for record purposes, Anioma was first
situated in the Western Region, then the Midwestern Region,
Bendel State and now Delta State in the south-south.
According to Ms Onochie, Aniomans cannot for any reason
afford to be forcefully strong-armed into any region, outside
the region within the south-south geographical zone, where
it is presently located or any other government outside the
Nigerian control now or anytime in future.
Ms Onochie added that Aniomans accompanied the Chief
Obafemi Awolowo-led delegation of Western and Mid-
Western leaders to Enugu, in May 6, 1967 just before the
outbreak of the civil war to discourage Col Ojukwu from
declaring Biafra because not only did they foresee it as an
exercise in futility but because it was certain that it was
bound to invite massive loss of lives, properties and
sufferings and so it was. She pointed out that his stance of
Anioma fathers and people of their region remains the same
till date.
Ndi Anioma maintains that there was never a time, place nor
venue, when its leadership or representatives met and
agreed to enter into any form of alliance with the people of
the southeast geo-political zone to actualise a separate
state of Biafra. Ms Onochie added that the representation of
Anioma in different maps of Biafra is part of the figment of
the imagination of desperate irredentist adventurers who
creatively made such maps to satisfy their thirst for empire-
building.
She challenged pro-Biafra advocates to provide any
evidence or agreement in which Anioma leaders allied with
them to secede from Nigeria and become part of Biafra for
the entire world to see. Ms Onochie warned that any attempt
to secede will result in a war which will not only shatter their
region but will definitely make the 1967-1970, a child’s play.
According to Ndi Anioma, the challenges of the people such
as marginalisation and the poor state of federal roads are
real but it is not expected that conflict be used to solve
them. It urged Ndigbo to put their representatives on their
toes to deliver to the region and key into the agenda of
President Muhammadu Buhari to address these challenges
and many more. http://

everyone is denouncing them

Biafrauds how market na?

Biafra is dead and buried

Some wailers, Ibos will commit suicide today over his post!

yoruba propaganda news. Anioma is Delta Ibo...I am Anioma...i am Deltan...#ISTANDWITHBIAFRA

chei!!! another deadly blow. Biafra don suffer.

Ndi Anioma is a Facebook 'organisation' ran by a Buhari minion. 'Lauretta Onochie', somebody threatening war out of nowhere, cannot be taken seriously as the voice of Anioma people. In the end a referendum will solve all these things.

This is her twitter filled with APC propaganda and bullshit, a party which woefully failed in the Anioma she's supposed to be representing. What a surprise!

The original Facebook post, liked mostly by APC fans, half of whom aren't even Anioma people: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1089181854454795&set=a.316204875085834.81955.100000889720395&type=3&theater

Another dirty slap on the dead body of Biafra

Father forgive them for they dont know what they are doing.In this race action will always speak...............till then.

Biafrans came prepared for this. If Achuzia speaks and this faceless lauretta speaks who would listen to? A renowned Biafran veteran from anioma or one obscure faceless prostitute paid by APC to divide-and-rule Biafrans? I dare her to go on the streets of Anioma and make this pronouncement, that's if 'she' even exists. The other day it was one paid 'Alhaji' from urhobo, then this clown. All these faceless vagabonds sef...

SS voices against Biafra

When we told them that SS doesn't support biafra, they called us liars. They did everything possible to lure the region into the biafra agitation by shouting down any voice from the region against it and claiming such a person can't speak for the region cos he's not their leader. Now the notable leaders of the region are beginning to speak up and telling the Igbos to stop transporting people from SE to protest in SS thereby making it look like it's the SS indigenes that are in agitation for Biafra.



James ibori

The former Governor of Delta State, Chief
James Onanefe Ibori has called on those using
his picture during Biafra protest to cease from
using it and that he is a strong believer of
united Nigeria where the rights of every citizen
is held sacrosanct.
He also stated that the peace that the country
enjoyed for forty five years after the civil war
should not be broken by residues being dug up
by some people to further divide the nation
and betray efforts at national reconciliation
and development. This he said must not be
allowed.

In a state broadcast, Mr. Wike banned all
forms of street protests, demonstrations,
rallies or unlawful gatherings associated
with the agitations for the secession of any
group from the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.

citizens going about their lawful
endeavours.

River Elders and Leaders Council

He said Rivers Elders noted those with Biafra
“sentiments have chosen to transport trailer
and bus loads of demonstrators from
neighbouring states into Port Harcourt. To say
the least, this amounts to the display of bad
political fate across our neighbouring borders.
Rivers Elders pointed out “The action so far
taken by the Biafra protesters in Port Harcourt
is highly provocative to all genuine sons and
daughters of Rivers state who have so far
restrained themselves from confronting the
demonstrators in Port Harcourt.”

Senator Godswill Akpabio

The Rivers Commissioner of Police, Musa Kimo,
also noted that his command would not allow
lawlessness or breakdown of law and order.
Senate minority leader Senator Godswill
Akpabio also condemned the Biafran agitators.
Speaking at the venue of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) conference in Abuja,
Akpabio, a former Akwa Ibom State governor,
called on the Federal Government and the
states where the militias are protesting to stop
the spread of the agitation.
“The Biafra agitators must be told that those
who witnessed the Nigerian civil war will never
wish to experience another war in their entire
lifetime.
“If you don’t like the government of the day,
you must wait for another election to vote them
out”, Akpabio said.

Urhobo

THE Urhobo nation yesterday denounced its
membership in the proposed map of Biafra by
the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Making the position known yesterday in a
statement, National Publicity Secretary of the
Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, Alhaji Mumakai-
Unagha, warned that Urhobo and its territories
should be counted out from any IPOB plan.
“IPOB have their rights of agitation for freedom
of self determination as enshrined in the united
nation declaration stressing that other ethnic
groups should not be dragged along to avoid the
mistake that led to the civil war.
“The magnanimity of Urhobos in allowing Igbos
celebrate the Igbo Cultural Day should not be
taken for granted as we urge IPOB to delist
Urhobo from its proposed map.”

Biafra is not even in Nigeria

ArodeTsolaye:


I knew it, the paid prostitute have graced Alhaji's bed. There where many of them during the Biafran war, this time they will not reap bountifully, things have changed. They never learn.

This is the era of the internet and exposure. You cannot come and claim to talk for Ndi Anioma when even Ifeanyi Okowa did not say anything about protests in Asaba.

Shared on an Okowa wesbite:

"I am not a Biafran and neither am I Igbo. I do however believe that it is the inalienable right of any human being or ethnic nationality to aspire to be free and to be able to determine its own destiny. The right to self-determination is enshrined in international law and it is guaranteed by every moral stricture known to man.

...

"Those that believe in Nigeria have every right to continue to do so and to voice their resolve to keep Nigeria one. What they do not have the right to do is to refuse to offer the same degree of freedom of expression to those that do not believe in a united Nigeria and who instead believe in the peaceful dissolution of our nation to speak their minds and voice their views. What is good for the goose is surely good for the gander. You cannot grant one side of the divide freedom of expression whilst you deny it to the other."

This is expected! The bastards are trying to infiltrate and weaken not just the Niger Delta/Igbo resolve, but that of Ndigbo as a block! Their modus-operandi is to try and chip away at the edges (Anioma/Niger Delta)! They're sponsoring and actively seeking out turncoats and saboteurs from within to try and scuttle the quest for self-determination!

Even though, I'm not a pro-Biafra. I think the Idea of secceesion should be dropped...
We lost the Ikwerres due to the civil war. With the recent biafra agitation, we might lose Anioma..

I can see how "Laurette" has been tagging Anioma as non-Igbo and some elements are swallowing it...(Biafraphobic)
