Edo people are not known for violence? - Deadlytrash Really?

Igbos rejected secession because they were benefiting most from the "One-Nigeria" fraud? - Deadlytrash How?

Edoids' position on secession has always been the same and it has not changed till today? - Deadlytrash
Who are these Edoid elites? When and where did they take such decision?

The same backstabbing Edo elites who are wont to disgracefully frustrate the aspirations of the South to satisfy their slave masters?

The Edo/Edoid elites have been in the habit of betraying the trust of the South. They rarely stand up to counter the great evils, injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity but would rather join hands with the enemies of progress to ensure the continuation of evils in the land.

BTW, does such list of Edoid elites include Prince Akenzua (now the late Oba of Benin) along with top permanent secretaries including Alhaji Yusuf Gobir, Phillip Asiodu, Eme Ebong, B.N. Okagbue and Allison Ayida who deconstructed in Lagos, all that was agreed in Aburi?


"On arrival in Lagos, Prince Akenzua discussed with Gowon and raised objections to what was agreed in Aburi. Gowon asked him to raise a memo which he did. I am sure a copy of the memo is with Gowon today while a copy is in the archives in the Presidency. Civil servants are to be seen and not to be heard and that is why Akenzua never released a copy of the memo to the world.

The memo dated January 8, 1967 began with: “Your Excellency, in view of my discussion with you last night, I am raising this memo in the interest our fatherland, Nigeria”. Akenzua traced the long hard road that Nigeria had travelled and stressed on the need to keep a United Nigeria.

He said in the memo that Gowon had given too much away in Aburi and that it would lead to the destruction of the country. He further added that Gowon had “legalised” total regionalism which “will make the centre very weak.” Akenzua alluded in his memo that a weak centre would lead to confederation and total disintegration of the country. It was the memo that prompted Gowon to summon a meeting of the secretaries to the military governments and other officials which was held in Benin City between February 16 and 18, 1967. If you look at the minutes of the Benin meeting presided over by Mr. H. A. Ejueyitchie, Secretary to the Federal Military Government, you will discover that it was a total rejection of what was agreed upon in Aburi. The Benin meeting interpreted in its own way the agreement reached in Aburi.


The decisions at Aburi amounted to, in terms of political and military control of Nigeria, that the country should be governed as a confederation.


N.B:
The Omo N’oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa (CFR), the 38th Oba of Benin, who was born on June 22, 1923 and ascended the throne on March 23, 1979.

The Oba of Benin is the traditional ruler of the Edo people and head of the historic Eweka dynasty of the Benin Empire.

Before becoming an Oba, as Prince Samuel Aiseokhuoba Igbinoghodua Akenzua, he was an outstanding civil servant. He, in fact, rose to become the Federal Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health before he retired in 1973.

Along with others, he attended the Aburi meeting held at the Peduase Lodge where the conflict of Nigeria was discussed between January 4 and January 5, 1967. Aburi is a town in Ghana and a 45-minute drive from Accra, the capital of Ghana."

MEND, Dokubo, Boylaf, Ateke Tom, Tompolo, Henry Okha, etc have never asked for secession despite their violence? - Deadlytrash What kind of lying propagandist is this?

Why are Nmamdi Kanu and Uwazurike now using purely civil means? - Deadlytrash So Igbos are no longer violent according to your theory of absurdity?

What kind of confused minion is this?

It's an open secret that Edos are notorious in international prostitution, Ogboni-cult human blood drinking, diabolic scamming and armed robbery.
Remember, the dreaded Lawrence Anini and Monday Osunbor whose gangs caused fear and terror in Benin City.

The Edo people, in 1967-70 war, connived with their Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba masters to murder many Igbos in Aniomaland just because their culture, names and languages are synonymous with the SE Igbos. Using the words of this Uneme-Nekhua fellow, does it make any sense for the Edos to hunt and kill their so-called Anioma brothers to satisfy their bloodthirstiness?

If really Edos are used to modern and civilised ways of life they wouldn't be notorious in barbaric acts such as the juju-enslavement of girls for prostitution racketeering.

This confused Uneme-Nekhua fellow keeps creating unnecessary attentions for himself just because Igbos are not willing to self-destruct with his people.

It's has been the partners-in-crime who have criminally benefitted and still benefitting from this contraption that run amok on every media page, calling and supporting the use of violence and extra-judicial killings as a means to quelling a genuine agitation as against opting for a simple referendum.

I tell you: no sane Biafran would wish to share a country with anything Edoid or Yoruboid.

Igbos are not interested in parasites, traitors or genocide conspirators. The Igbo struggle is strictly for hardworking achievers and goal-getters, and not for lazy cowards who have only survived by being stooges and weak-minded fellows.

The Uneme-Nekhua people and their fellow Edoid/Edo group are better off in OduaArewanistan republic.

Igboid:
3. There is a reason why Zik is not celebrated amongst the Igbos instead Ojukwu was. Zik was a one Nigeria apologist and always puting the interest of one Nigeria ahead of those of Ndiigbo.

3. Ojukwu must have stupidly believed in one Nigeria as a young soldier, but once he saw one Nigeria for what it was, after she claimed the lives of thousands of Igbos Ojukwu sent back to the North after the first massacre,he became pro secession. Enahoro was pro secession one minute, the next minute he was one Nigerian apologist, go figure.

4. Biafran soldiers only passed through the Midwest because that was the only route to Lagos, the Nigerian military headquarters, and by the way, Okonkwo was a Midwestern, are you by any means suggesting that only Edos were entitled to being appointed the leaders in Midwest, I remember that before the coup, the premier of Midwest was an Igbo too.

5. Is Edo not an annex of the Hausa-Fulani dominated Nigeria today? Even though I know that there was never a way the East would have annexed Edoland, empire building is not the Igbo man trait,the Biafra annexing Edo ish is a product of the Edos ignorance induced hallucinations, seeing that all the dead Bini empire knew how to do in the past was to annex surrounding clans unto itself, she naturally expect her own worst behavior of others. Newsflash: Bia***ns fought a war of survival and not annexation, at no point was mid west part of Bia***** during the war.

6. You are yet to prove how Zik prevented the Yorubas from secession, so this your statement of Zik being used against the South is at best funny and ignorance Laden.
Ojukwu prevented the Ijaw secession, ( not South seccession or whatever you meant by that),I concede that, but you are not Ijaw and so in no position to complain about Ojukwu preventing the Ijaw exit, neither are the Ijaws now singing one Nigeria because Ojukwu prevented their first attempt at secession, they are instead hardcore secessionists, as of today represented by NDA.

Zik remain a prominent Nigerian, Abuja airport is named after him, many roads in Abuja and Lagos are named after him, he has his picture in 500 naira note, he is known as one the founding fathers of Nigeria, even GEJ adopted his name, who knows Enahoro?
The old fool died a nobody, the one Nigeria he sacrificed millions for didn't even know the day he died, but the supposedly rebel, Ojukwu got a national burial from the same Nigeria he fought against.
While Enahoro and his Edo people faded into the shadows of the Nigerian political sphere, Ndiigbo continues to shine bright even in the one Nigeria Enahoro fought for. What exactly did Enahoro achieve for himself or for his people after the war?

From the beginning Enahoro was pro-peaceful and bloodless seccesion and anti-bloody secession. Ojukwu's approach was a matter of bloodshed so he rejected it as a matter of principles. Enahoro placed lives of innocent civilians over political expediency while Ojukwu placed political expediency over innocent lives. Go figure.
What did Ojukwu achieve for his people too after the war? If Ndigbo are shining in "One-Nigeria", then why are they complaining of marginalization everyday now? Zik deceived Ndigbo by initially supporting Biafra but later abandoned them for the side of "One-Nigeria" after "One-Nigeria" had killed over 3 million Igbos. GEJ adopted Azikiwe's name and with that lost an election. The Zik of Africa and "One Nigeria" died as Owele of Onitsha. Even Ojukwu your hero and Zik's brother refused to attend Zik's burial but attended that of Awolowo - Zik's arch enemy.
Ojukwu was given military honour as a pardoned military rebel by "One-Nigeria" Army and not necessarily national honour. He was a celebrated prodigal child by his father called "One-Nigeria". It was a family affair between him and "One-Nigeria". Enahoro was never a son of "One-Nigeria" at any time so you don't expect "One- Nigeria" to celebrate a stranger to "One-Nigeria". Just let "One-Nigeria" attempt to celebrate Enahoro and see how we Edoids will rebuff it unlike Igbos who quickly accept such thinking it's a mark of prestige.
You are now celebrating the fact that the very "One-Nigeria" you've been calling a fraud celebrates Zik by putting his image in N500 note, named Airports after him, etc? Yet you want to seceed from that same fraud you are celebrating. Is that not hypocrisy and self contradiction? A son (Fashola) of the Yorubas you so hate is set to on behalf of "One Nigeria" complete Zik mausoleum for you and you are celebrating it. Your celebration of Zik's honours by "One-Nigeria" and Hausas vindicates those of us who have always insisted that your call for secession is not sincere but just to draw attention towards placing you people back in the mainstream with Hausas in Nigeria's affairs as it was before, so that you could simply resume your enjoyment of the fraud. It shows clearly that you yourselves, deep down in your minds, don't actually want to exit Nigeria but to get back to relevance within the scheme of things; and not any Edoids or Yorubas holding you back. Even your own Chinua Achebe rejected all honours offered him by the fraud called one Nigeria. It also proves that even Edoids change their minds to seek seccession violently in concert with Igbos, Igbos could later betray Edoids in the middle of the course if Hausas suddenly begin to honour all their leaders and starts giving them important positions like Vice President, COAS, defence minister and control over all the most powerful ministries. We all remember how they kept sealed lips over Biafra and even kept condemning Uwazurike while people like Dora, Ezekwesili, ihejirika, NOI and other Igbos held high positions in "one Nigeria" under a Yoruba man called OBJ and Hausa man called Atiku.
I on the other hand am happy that "One Nigeria" has not accorded Enahoro any immortalization because a fraud like "One-Nigeria" has no honour to dispense honour. One Nigeria can't give what it does not have. We Edoids yearly organize our own celebrations of Enahoro and never accept honours for him from the "one Nigeria" of Hausas and Igbos which jailed him unjustly and repeatedly. Honour from a fraudulent entity is a fraudulent honour. Igbos can keep celebrating the fraudulent honours Zik got and is still getting from "One-Nigeria" thus they will keep exposing their insincerity about secession and keep vindicating Edoids who insist that they never genuinely believed in it in the first instance and so up till today despite all their cries of Biafra.

By preventing Ijaw secession, Ojukwu also forestalled the prospect of secession of all southern minorities who would obviously have taken a clue from a peaceful Ijaw secession to pull themselves out too. After all everyone except Igbos were already fed up with "One-Nigeria". Of all the Southern minority tribes the Ijaws were the most represented in the army. So they naturally were the boldest to declare a republic for other southern minorities to follow suit in case Ojukwu and Ironsi did not stop them. That is how my tribe and others come into the Ojukwu versus Ijaw war.

You are simply confused. Did Enahoro, Oba Akenzua and Asiodu all attend Aburi meeting? The Aburi meeting was originally scheduled for Benin City but Ojukwu refused claiming he would be killed by Benin people who had hitherto not demonstrated any animosity towards him. So how would Edos have trusted such a person?

Was it not Igbos that first worked against the Southern interest by deciding to align with the North in 1959 to form the evil NPC-NCNC coalition which Igbos in collusion with Hausa-Fulanis used to jail fellow Southerners? In 1979 Igbos colluded with Hausa-Fulani to form the NPN-NPP coalition which was used to harass fellow Southerners. In 1999 Igbos colluded with the Katsina Mafia again against fellow southerners to form PDP which was used to kill people in Odi, and commit a lot of atrocities against southern minorities.
All these your repeated copy and paste lies will not change the truth that Igbos were the ones who sold the South to the north due to their unbridled greed to play second fiddle to Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy. All other ugly events were consequent upon that first sell out by Igbos in 1959. Simple!

ABURI ACCORD ATTENDANCE - January 4 - 5, 1967

Those who attended the meeting were Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, Col. Robert Adebayo, Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Lt. Col. David Ejoor, Lt. Col. David Hassan Katsina, Commodore J.E.A. Wey, Major Mobolaji Johnson, Alhaji Kam Selem and Mr. J. Omo-Bare. Others were Prince S.I.A. Akenzua (Permanent Under-Secretary, Federal Cabinet Office.), Mr. P.T. Odumosu (Secretary to the Military Government, West.), Mr. N.U. Akpan (Secretary to the Military Government, East.), Mr. D.P. Lawani (Under-Secretary, Military Governor’s Office, Mid-West) and Alhaji Ali Akilu (Secretary to the Military Government, North.) The Chairman of the Ghana National Liberation Council, Lt. Gen. J.A. Ankrah, declared the meeting open in his capacity as then the head of state of Ghana.

Igboid:
Again,this issue of secession clause is only a lame excuse the Yorubas and Edoids hide under to promote their one Nigeria affinity .

There was no guarantee that if the secession clause was supported by Zik, that it would have been allowed to be used by Bia***ans or any other secessionist to achieve their aim.

Until the July counter coup and the following Igbo massacre, Igbos were not pro secession, so we would have never needed the secession clause until Gowon took over, and I have no doubt that if the secession clause existed then, it would have been annulled by Gowon and the North with New decrees propounded and we would have still had to fight to get our. Bia*** nation.

So this whole business of if Zik allowed secession clause that it would have been easier for Bia*** secession in 1966 or even now is stupid and redundant.

The truth is that Igbos still promote one-Nigeria affinity more than everyone else till today. It is on record that the only place in the South whose delegates to the last confab rejected a return to the four unit regional system is Ebonyi State. Igbos are only crying secession because they are not in charge of Nigeria. When Igbos had been murdered in thousands in 1945, 1953 and 1956, Ironsi and Ojukwu never thought of Biafra because they were still in power despite the May 1966 massacre of Igbos happened while they still were in charge. So no one can convince me that Biafra is conceived upon a desire of freedom from oppression. It is rather conceived upon bitterness generated by not being in charge of that oppressive establishment any longer. If an Igbo man becomes president today and start enjoying the "One-Nigeria" fraud once more he will criminalize secession, bomb NDA hideouts, make it a crime for anyone to say "Bia..... ", release Nnamdi Kanu and sternly warn him against disturbing the peace of "One-Nigeria", etc just the way Ironsi and Ojukwu did in 1966 before they changed tune due to Ironsi's dethronement.

If the secession clause was allowed by Zik the Jan 1966 coup would not have happened because even Zik himself later wanted it when his marriage with Northerners began to boomerang on him, and he openly declared that " We should part in peace and not in pieces". He obviously said so out of regret and afterthought. Had he allowed the clause he would not have so lamented but simply referred to the constitution to kick start signature taking and he would have got the support of the GOC who was his boy and admirer and an Igbo for that matter. Also the whole South already suffering from Northern onslaught would have voted for secession together with middle belt who had equally lost loyalty to the Core North at that moment.
Recall also that as of then the army was highly professional and so well committed to constitutionalism that even with an Igbo man as its overall head the army bluntly referred Zik to the constitution when Zik tried to illegally stall the second inauguration of Balewa. So such as army would have as well obliged to secession referendum had Zik allowed it into the constitution.
According to Nzeogwu, the five majors struck because they wanted confederacy as a means to further weaken the centre .... meaning that had secession clause (the major feature of confederacy) been allowed by Zik, there would have been no coup thus Ironsi would not have come to power, and Gowon too would not have come to power, and only civilians would have ruled and would have allowed for referendum for any part that demanded secession. After all the Balewa government, bad as it was, was still far more democratic than Ironsi's and Gowon's rules. Simple!

ABURI ACCORD ATTENDANCE - January 4 - 5, 1967

Those who attended the meeting were Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, Col. Robert Adebayo, Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Lt. Col. David Ejoor, Lt. Col. David Hassan Katsina, Commodore J.E.A.

Ankrah, declared the meeting open in his capacity as then the head of state of Ghana.

I will keep punishing you with the truth that Igbos sold the South into slavery under the North and that every other thing that followed happened while other southerners were trying to free themselves from the Hausa-Fulani bondage which Igbos sold them into. You can keep talking of Aburi Accord till you die. Even Ojukwu himself did not fulfil his own part of the accord. From the video of the proceedings at Aburi it was clear that Ojukwu never went there genuinely seeking for confederacy but just attended in fulfilment of all righteousness while really only seeking for war. He never smiled throughout the meeting even though the rest attendees made friendly gestures to him. Don't tell me his refusal to smile was because of the massacre of Igbos. No! He had been smiling before then and forcing others back into Nigeria while Igbos were being massacred the previous year while he and Ironsi were in power. Even early in 1967 shortly before Aburi meeting he still smiled and twice sent back to the North those Igbos who managed to escape home from the pogroms over there.

From the video of the proceedings at Aburi it was clear that Ojukwu never went there genuinely seeking for confederacy but just attended in fulfilment of all righteousness while really only seeking for war. He never smiled throughout the meeting even though the rest attendees made friendly gestures to him. Don't tell me his refusal to smile was because of the massacre of Igbos. No! He had been smiling before then and forcing others back into Nigeria while Igbos were being massacred the previous year while he and Ironsi were in power. Even early in 1967 shortly before Aburi meeting he still smiled and twice sent back to the North those Igbos who managed to escape home from the pogroms over there.

@Deadlytrash, I shall continue to whip your silly ass like never before till you begin to reason like normal human.

If you like donate your entire Uneme-Nekhua people for sacrifice for Igbos to have the Presidency come 2019/2023 your sacrifice cannot stop the raging IPOB tsunamic movement.

In all your useless theses and theories of absurdity you have consistently failed to point out the contributions of your inconsequential Uneme-Nekhua people to this country. Instead you mischievously, arrogantly and persistently choose to dwell on inanities while displaying and advertising your inferiority complex and lack of wits.

If you like cry blood and continue your wicked propaganda the eternal portion of the Uneme-Nekhua people still remains with your Fulani masters.

If you're too pained that you and your Uneme-Nekhua people will eventually end up with the Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis in OduaArewanistan republic then find the nearest brick wall and smash your empty-headed skull to smithereens.

It has been a curse having your likes in the same country and this curse is broken already and the serpent head is severely bruised and that's why you've been on rampage for some months now attempting in vain to resurrect a walking corpse.

Take your miseries to OduaArewanistan republic where bunch of hypocrites and confused bigots are found.

Igbos are comfortable having a separate existence from greedy, treasury looters cum murderous backst*bbers.

" 4. Biafran soldiers only passed through the
Midwest because that was the only route to Lagos, the Nigerian military headquarters, and by the way, Okonkwo was a Midwestern, are you by any means
suggesting that only Edos were entitled to
being appointed the leaders in Midwest, I
remember that before the coup, the
premier of Midwest was an Igbo too.
5. Is Edo not an annex of the Hausa-Fulani
dominated Nigeria today? Even though I
know that there was never a way the East
would have annexed Edoland, empire
building is not the Igbo man trait,the Biafra
annexing Edo ish is a product of the Edos
ignorance induced hallucinations, seeing
that all the dead Bini empire knew how to
do in the past was to annex surrounding
clans unto itself, she naturally expect her
own worst behavior of others. Newsflash:
Bia***ns fought a war of survival and not
annexation, at no point was mid west part
of Bia***** during the war".........................................................................[/quote]



These your claims above are hogwash. Were Edoid towns like, Warri, Sapele, Auchi, Igarra, Lampese, which Ojukwu invaded and occupied also along the east-west road leading to Lagos the military HQ? Biafra was purely an expansionist drive.
Okonkwo was a Miwesterner who was loyal to the Biafran side against the neutrality of the Midwest. So Ojukwu's preference for him over other neutral Midwestern officers made it clear that Ojukwu was out to annex all Edos' and Edoids' land to Biafra.
Igbos are themselves annex of Hausa Fulanis right now more than everyone else as long as they still remain in Nigeria.
The Nri Kingdom too was not innocent of annexing adjacent lands and peoples. Only a fool will have a foreign army forcefully take over the capital city of his region and not suspect a desire annex it. Why could Ojukwu not simply consult any single person before invading the Midwest seat of power? What stopped him from simply passing through Benin for entirely transitory purpose and heading straight for Lagos? Was the Benin seat of government situated right on the East-West expressway to warrant Biafrans soldiers ever entering it and spending months there? And you say it was not for annexation? Shame to logical reasoning!

Here's actually an excerpt, albeit it was written by Emeka Esogbue but it is a direct summarization of Emma Okocha books.

"It was this battle that gave birth to Murtala, a “Local champion” called Ibrahim Haruna and Ibrahim Taiwo of the Nigerian Army. Africans first had the practical experience of the word “genocide” in Igbodo where hundreds of lives were lost in the Nigerian civil war. In Isheagu, the case was not different. It was here that the ulterior motive of the Nigerian troop clearly unfolded.

The people were now scampering for the safety of their lives having experienced what happened in Igbodo and some other places. In the Midwestern region, able bodied men went into hiding leaving women and children at the mercy of advancing soldiers. The people of Benin went identifying their Ibo-speaking neighbours from house to house for executions."

You write with emotion, but void of logic. Do a Judge pass judgement in court base on the expression of the people or base on conclusive fact?
In your opinion, Ojokwu emotional state should serve as a yardstick for his stand. What a childish way of reasoning. Can you please feed us with fact on how and where Ojukwu failed to implement his own part of the Aburi accord?

I don't bother reading your copied and pasted comments again because they are issues I have trashed repeatedly. Uneme people remain your masters in Nigeria as you have now made yourselves the slaves of the SS. Until you accept the truth that Igbos sold the South to the North in 1959 you will never have peace. IPOB, MASSOB, etc will only rant but can't remove even one Igbo LGA away from Huasa-Fulani your slave masters. Nigeria has always been a BIAREWA (Biafra/Arewa) Republic and so it will forever be. Zik sealed it before he died. The ghost of zik will never allow Biafra materialize. Live with it.

Your posts are always too verbose, but I will try as much as possible to reply only the relevant parts of them. Try as much as possible to summarize your points and bullet them out in subsequent replies, it will make for easier discussion.

@Deadlytrash, I honestly feel your eternal pains especially as you and your inconsequential Uneme-Nekhua people brace up to spend the rest of your miserable lives with your Fulani masters.

Up till now you have consistently failed to point out the contributions of your Uneme-Nekhua elites to the Nigerian project. With all your rantings up and down you can't man up to list the Uneme-Nekhua elites that mattered during pre-independence/independence era.

At the outset when Boko Haram was spilling Igbo bloods and destroying Igbo places of worship and businesses in the North, what was the response of your ass-licking elites?
Your kinsmen revelled in that wicked act and barbarism and even blamed Igbos for 'stupidly' sojourning to dangerous terrains for business. They accused Igbos of loving money more than their lives. And you confused bigot still had the guts to cast aspersions on the Igbo Nation for choosing to have a separate existence from greedy, treasury looters cum murderous parasites.

Over the decades the marauding herdsmen have been ravaging your land and killing your people for fun. How many threads and topics have you and your cowardly Uneme-Nekhua people created on NL to register your protest against such dastardly acts?

How many of your Uneme-Nekhua kinsmen dare challenge the marauding herdsmen for wieding ak-47?

What efforts have your Uneme-Nekhua elites put in to counter the hate speeches in mosques and the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods going on in the North for decades?

Can you show such credible evidences where you and your people rose in unison to condemn the dastardly acts, especially by your masters, going on for many decades now unabated?

NK have achieved what your whole generation dread to do. NK stood and looked your masters eyeball to eyeball while many of you hide under your beds trembling. Is that not why many of you loud-mouthed hypocrites shout, "kill Kanu", "hang Kanu" as if that will lessen your eternal miseries.

It's only hypocrites that come online forming holier-than-thou attitude online while indeed they are ravenous wolves in sheep clothing who commit worst crimes than what they accuse others for.

This is your latent fear: the fear of Fulanis plundering your entire land, islamisation, no free crude oil wealth and eventual low economic activities in your land once Biafr* emerges.

You desparately want Igbos and Easterners to remain in this fraudulent union so that they can help you treacherous backst*bbers wade off Dan Fodio's descendants whenever they recommence their jihad.
Your eternal portion remains with your Fulani masters in OduaArewanistan republic.

Enjoy the fruit of the seed of treachery and gross wickedness you and your confused people sowed some decades ago!

Adaure4ever:
hahahahahaha. Superior feeling? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Someone should hold me before i run naked, laughing due to these deluded ikwerre comedian.

ada good morning, how are you doing?

You are over-exaggerating the influence of Western world powers. When Ethiopia was united against colonization were the colonialists able to colonize them against their own will? When Eritrea decided to later pull out of Ethiopia could any foreign power hold them back in Ethiopia?

This was how you brought the issue of Eritrea- Ethiopia into discussion, even though it was obvious you know nothing that part of history.

Ethiopia were only successful in resisting colonialism because the Italians were defeated in the second world war, and were never going to be supported by their Caucasian brothers in their bid to have Ethiopia to themselves.
Not because Ethiopia were stronger than the rest of African people that were colonized. Even Ethiopia needed the British help at a point to maintain their independence from Italy.

Ethiopia also lost Eritrea, because Ethiopia was not a colonial entity of any European power, so she never got unfair support from the Caucasian powers against Eritrea like Nigeria got against Biafra, because Nigeria was a British colonial entity. Instead the colonial powers backed up Eritrea by supporting that a referendum be conducted, which ultimately led the Eritrea voting for secession.

Remember that Ojukwu also requested for a similar referendum in Bia***, but was turned down, because Nigeria was a colonial entity, so no Caucasian power backed Ojukwu call.

If Nigeria was not a colonial entity and the British didn't interfere, Bia***, will exist like Eritrea do exist today.

morning dear.. Am fine, Hw are you too.

Adaure4ever:
morning dear.. Am fine, Hw are you too.

am doing gr8..

waiting my ikwerre brothers do you this morning Cause you really hash on them.

The Ijaws were brought in by me as an example to puncture your claim that the presence of Britain scared Zik and other Igbos into working against secession at the initial stages. I then had to cite the case of Ojukwu preventing Ijaw secession even after Britain had long left to prove that Igbos hatred for secession at the initial stage had nothing to do with the presence/absence or approval/disapproval of Britain but had all to do with the fact that they were in power together with Hausa-Fulanis and benefiting mostly from "One-Nigeria" and therefore did not want the status quo tampered with. When they lost power at the centre they forgot that British "disapproval and might" was still hovering around thus began to ask for secession.

No Ijaws has nothing to do with our discussion, stop attaching to them by force. Our discussion is about Ndiigbo, Edoids, Yorubas and Zik, stick to topic.

Ijaws NDR by Boro was strictly for Ijaw people, it has nothing to do with Edoids or other ethnicities in present SS.

I'd ignore the rest of your posts there as rambling of a deluded being.

If it is sensible to use violence when you don't have the military back up, then why are Nmamdi Kanu and Uwazurike now using purely civil means now that the number of Igbos have been badly reduced in the Nigerian army to the same number as Edoids in it? It is natural. And that is why Edoids have been, in their usual belief in civil and constitutional ways, asking for a sovereign national conference which will either re-make or peacefully break Nigeria so that everyone goes solo without genocide. Edoids, unlike, Igbos can't afford to lose 3 million lives trying to correct the blunder Igbos made. That will be too expensive to bear.

It wasn't Ojukwu who brought violence. Ojukwu negotiated true Federalism in Aburi, agreements, that would have seen the total restructuring of Nigeria, Yet it was Edoids like your treacherous Oba Akenzua, that stated categorically that a weakened centre will lead to the destruction of Nigeria, and went on to persuade Gowon to renege on Aburi agreement. Xtrose had provided the article on that here, so I won't repeat it, I will just drop the link: https://www.nairaland.com/3143222/biafra-memo-oba-akenzua-aburi

By persuading Gowon from accepting peaceful ways of resolving the Post July coup conflicts, Edoids like Akenzua and Enahoro nudged Gowon towards invading Bia***, forcing us to defend our homeland.

How then can Edoids claim to be neutral to the war, when Akenzua was at Gowon's bosom telling him to reject Aburi Agreement and Enahoro was at Gowon's side whispering songs of starvation policy to his ears, Ejoor was also part of Gowon crew.

Edoids have never been civil people, your reign of terror all over Western Igboland before you were emasculated and rendered useless by the British is still in history books, you reminded the Western Igbos of this when you went about pointing them out to be massacred in Bini and even joined in the massacre.

You are just currently too insignificant in the larger scheme of things, to exert any influence. YourBlood thirst is far from being quenched.

" In pre-amalgamation times no tribe in Africa dared Edoids. But in an amalgamated Nigeria Edoids had become averse to violence and conquest, and had become used to modern and civilised ways of life and thus never used or believed in violence again and consistently do not still believe in it till today owing much to the fact that compared with both Igbos and Ijaws they were disproportionately too few in army before and after independence and even up till now 2016. So how could a people who knew they didn't have the military back up take an option which required full scale violence? It does not make sense"


Lol! Bini empire was a mushroom empire that thrived on Blood and subjugation of smaller weaker groups around them, but most Western Igbo clans more than gave the Binis a run for their money, there is a reason the Bini moats were built facing East, go figure!

No, Binis were reduced to minority group in Nigeria, the moment most smaller groups that they lorded it over unted and formed Larger ethnic groups like 20 times the population of Bini. Without population to match the bigger groups, Edo became naturally irrelevant in larger scheme of things. It was never intentional on the part of Edos to become irrelevant, forces beyond your control made it so.


Where some groups are too naive to join bigger groups to neutralize Edo, the Binis still exerted their pre colonial subjugation, as can be seen with the case of Igbanke that stupidly, chose to stand alone rather than join the rest of Western Igbolan during the creation of Delta state for the fear of Agbor dominance.

Edo didn't need military back up to ensure weaker centre that Ojukwu campaigned for in Aburi, all they needed was support it, or simply let it be, instead of going extra mile to work against it like Enahoro and Akenzua did.
Edo was disproportionately few in the military in that era and even now because Edo simply does not have the population, they are minority among minorities.

opobo. mind you, I can speak ibo very well..

ma'am. igbo is just a language but believe you me, we know where we belong.


and there's nothing like niger delta republic.. fact


hope you will refiner tomorrow?

Let me remind you that a far larger percentage of Ijaws are, just like, Edoids not seeking violent secession at all but true federalism which we initially had but later botched by Igbos. MEND, Dokubo, Boylaf, Ateke Tom, Tompolo, Henry Okha, etc have never asked for secession despite their violence. And mind you that in 1966 Ijaws sought secession not from Nigeria per say but from the Eastern Region due to Igbo oppression. NDA on the other hand is yet an experiment which looks more politically motivated by GEJ's loss than anything else. Even GEJ himself never believes in secession. So your claim that Ijaws are asking for secession is highly flawed. Even igboids of the SS like Wike, Okowa, etc have openly dissociated themselves from violent seccession, and that does not make them appologists of "One-Nigeria".

Again stop forcefully attaching to the Ijaws. Leave Ijaws out of this discussion. Edos and Ijaws are different people in all aspects of life. Ijaws aspirations have never been in tandem with those of Edoids.

Liar, Adaka Boro declared the Ijaw region an independent nation, not an independent region.

Adaka wanted independence for Ijaws. Again there are no documented evidence of Igbo marginalization of Ijaws in the Eastern region, though I would rather discuss that issue with an Ijaw/Ijoid, not with an Edo. So enough of this forceful attachment to Ijaws and dragging them into this discussion, you still have scores to settle with them at Gelegele.

NDA is only politically motivated by GEJ in the mind sets of Edos and their Yoruba co travellers, which is another reason why you stop dragging Ijaws into this discussion.

NDA receives Ijaws. Grassroots support.

Yes! Even SE governors have separated themselves from violent secession, but Good a thing neither MASSOB nor IPOB are armed violent groups, they simply demand referendum, same way Ojukwu demanded restructuring in Aburi.

Only Edoids Yorubas and their co travellers in the North United by Islam take such demands as violence.

Ekweremmadu is not asking for secession, so Ndiigbo are not asking for secession, that's how flawed your GEJ analogy is.

Edo was disproportionately few in the military in that era and even now because Edo simply does not have the population, they are minority among minorities.

Nri Kingdom too thrived on blood and rituals to survive. If representation in the army followed population proportions then how come Igbos had more commissioned officers than the entire North whose population was multiple that of Igbos? Edo was not proportionally represented in the army because of the fact that the colonial masters deliberately gave administrative power to Hausas and gave military power to Igbos as these were the two most pliant and amenable tribes to their selfish interest.

Edo's were not interested in Aburi because Ojukwu had already rejected Benin as the meeting point claiming he would be killed there. Also the Aburi and all other trash was an issue between WaZoBia and Edo with other minorities had no business with it. Why could Ojukwu not patiently wait and consult more widely before declaring Biafra?

Your claim that Benin moats were built facing the East betrays crass Ignorance. Benin moats surrounded the city entirely.

You can cry as you like about Igbankes' decision to remain in Edo. Only Igbos see everything every other people's decision as stupid without caring to know why dey did so. Self-opinionated people. No wonder everyone abandoned them during the war.

[b] Igbanke is an Igbo community in Edo State. They are of the Ika people family stock in Delta State, Nigeria, which also constitutes Agbor, and up to the border towns of Alifekede (Ala Ifekede) down to Umunede. Today's Igbanke village is constituted by Omoluah, Obiogba, Idumuiru, Igbontor, Idumodin, Ake, Oligie and Ottah, all of which have different histories of migration. The people have organized various movements to change the name of the town back to "Igbo Akiri", which is its true name.

The government of Igbanke is presided over by Eze, Dei (Dim), odiowere (ndi owere), Ndichie, Dikens (Dike), okhiolors (okenye ulo), and Okhialis (okenye ala). Each of these heads has his jurisdiction. The jurisdiction could be stratified into three: The family level, the clan or hamlets and the villages. At the family level, the okhilor (he is usually the oldest man in the family) presides. At the village quarters, the okhilor is the head, while the eze rules over the entire village. Igbanke is chiefly a patrilineal society and as such its women are seen as performing passive roles. The language spoken in Igbanke is the Ika dialect of Igbo.

1)Most Igbanke indigenes who have Ika ancestral names like, “Emeka”, “Maduka”, “Chukwuka’’, “Chinyere”, “Amaka and “Ogorchukwu etc are often confronted with all forms of harrowing experiences when there are needs to visit our council headquarters, Abudu to process one official documents or the other. We are often denied the issuance of documents like, ‘’Certificate of Local Government of origin’’, Protest Letter’’, To Whom it May Concern’’ etc on the guise that we are Igbos not Binis.
2) Those who have the likes of the Ika aforementioned names, but can speak Bini language are rarely subjected to the above embarrassments and discriminations. This act goes a long way to vindicate our fear that there is a subtle, but carefully planned agenda to make us lose and abandon our ancestral linguistic and cultural heritage.
3) In order to escape from these unnecessary embarrassments, some have no other option left than to change their identity from Ika to Bini names.
4) Today, we, the good people of Igbanke are gradually losing our once envied linguistic and cultural identity.
5) Some of the eminent sons and daughters of Igbanke, whom out of their outstanding contributions to the development of the community, were recognized and given chieftaincy titles had had such titles changed from their original Ika origin to Bini equivalence. For example, few years ago, one of our sons who addressed himself as “Chief Orike-Eze” in Oba of Benin palace was shamefully harassed, insulted and forcefully forced, right in the palace to change the title to its Bini version. According to the palace, the title, “Orike-Eze” had its origin from Ika and Igbo nations.
5) Most times, when we have cause to attend meetings with the Binis in our local government area or senatorial district, deliberations are often conducted in Bini in language without considering the fact that the people of Igbanke in such meeting neither speak nor understand the language. Often than not, when we attend such meetings, we left the venue more confused than we were before we went. [/b]

[b] 6) In Edo state, Igbanke is only tolerated, not respected, seen, but not accepted. Today, in Edo state, plans are underway by the state Ministry of Education to introduce the teaching of Bini language in Primary and Secondary schools across Edo south senatorial district including Igbanke. Unfortunately, our indigenous language, Ika is not in any way considered qualified and appropriate to be taught in schools in Igbanke. To us, its another deliberate attempt to send our linguistic identity into extinction.
7) Our people have also suffered several inexplicable discriminations when it comes to political appointments. During the 2013 Edo state local government elections, one of our sons, Mr. Peter Ikem was refused to contest the chairmanship position in Orhionmwon local government area. Reason? His surname, “Ikem” was an Igbo, not Bini name.

PRAYERS/ RELIEFS SOUGHT
Sir, based on the foregoing, we therefore, solemnly ask for the folling:
1) A local government be created that would comprise all Ika speaking communities scattered in Orhionmwon, Uhunmwode and Igueben LGAs of Edo state. Some of the Ika speaking communities in Edo stateinclude:
Orhionmwon LGA —-Igbanke, Iru, Ohezenaka, Otobaye, Ugbeka
Uhunmwode LGA —– Oghada
Igueben LGA ——- Ekpon

2) Where, for any reason, creation of a local government area that would consist all Ika speaking communities is not in the immediate possible or feasible, we therefore ask that Igbanke be severed from Edo state and merged with our kiths and kins in Ika south local government area in Delta state.
3) The people of Igbanke should be seen, recognized and accepted as Ika people residing in Edo.
4) That Igbanke people, based on our forceful membership of Edo state, reserved the natural and inalienable right to decide, at any time, either to continue our membership with the Binis in Edo state or join our Ika kiths and kins in Delta state.

CONCLUSION
Igbanke is an Ika speaking community in Orhionmwon local government, Edo state
We, the people Igbanke are gradually losing our linguistic and cultural identity as a result of our forceful membership with the Binis through conquest.
If urgent measures are not taken, our linguistic and cultural identity would sooner than later go into sudden extinction. In order to avoid the impending extermination of our race, we therefore, ask that a local government area be created that would consist of Igbanke and other Ika speaking communities in Edo state.
Alternatively, if local government creation is not feasible or possible, Igbanke, should therefore, be severed from Edo state and merged with Ika south local government area in Delta state [/b]
