aminaadamu:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

~ Martin Niemöller

This saying is so true for the present stage of dictatorship we find ourselves now.

1) They rubbished Madueke without facts, we were silent.

2). They arrested Dasuki, we shrugged, na dem dem.

3). They shot at unarmed protesters we said it serves them right(why did they burn mosque)

4). They sent a bill to gag freedom of speech and we kept quiet.

5). They held Nnamdi Kanu against court orders, we kept quiet at least he's not my relative.

When they come for you, just remember your silence.

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends"

~Martin Luther King Jr.

aminaadamu:
Biafra land tribes are numerous but the most populour that I know are Ogoja, Edoma, Obudu, Ikom, Ugep, Efuk, Oron, Ibibio, Anang, Ogoni, Opobo, Ijaw, Andoni,(Itshekiri,Urhobho), Ogba, Egbema, Ndoni, Igbos. Though most populous is Igbo there is still a need to understand that these autonomous nations have lived together as neighbours and kinsmen even before the time of Adam. Its said the Ijaws are one of the oldest settlers in Biafra. It was also an Ijaw man who reminded Ojukwu to use the true name of the indigenous republic "Biafra". Even before Oyinbo came Biafrans had norms and values which prevented neighbours from annihilating themselves.It wasn't Oyinbo or colonization that taught Biafran people government or infact democracy. To date each of the autonomous nations are governed by a very republican type of govt. With council of elders/chiefs, Community development council(think tank),the youths and of course the Women. Biafran Women have always played a big role in govt and in most Biafran autonomous nations like Orlu/Njaba clan of Imo the indigenous women were the highest arbitration body, known and revered the agaba or umuada will sit on appeal over cases already adjudicated on by the Umunna.
I hope as I am only a student of Biafran history that I have not missed anyone as there are so many if so please update me and if anyone could help with the natural languages spoken by each one.

Sanchez01:

NEVER count Urhobo as a part of the Biafran Struggle, please don't.

Ohaneze has always conducted itself like a lapdog and that they stayed mute over the killings is an indication that the group fears the government. I don't blame them. Those who defied the NA's orders to protest knew what they were getting into.

Bros, you forget to add Igala, Berom, Gbagi, Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani. You may extend it by including Tiv, Zulu (yes), the Arabs, French, dutch etc.


God bless you
