How Delta Igbos Wanted To Secede With Biafra- Achuzia by kingzizzy: 7:34pm On Mar 07, 2017
25th of May 1967, Enugu

I appeared on the scene as a delegate for my people who at the time were the Igbo speaking group of the Mid-Western Region. This group was then known as the Ika Igbo association. It was this union that nominated me and the following to represent the Ika Igbos at the consultative assembly of the Eastern Region: The Obi of Belekwu representing the traditional rulers of Asaba and Ika division, the Ukpanuka of Ndoni representing the traditional rulers in Aboh division, with Mr Eugene Oba as President if the Ika Igbo Association, and Mr Mark Uzoka, a former Minister in the Mid-Western Regional Government who was secretary of the Ika Igbo Association, myself being the National Vice President of the association.

The purpose and aim of the Association was to ensure that in the event of the disintegration of Nigeria, we would merge with our kith and Kin on the Igbo mainland, East of the Niger.

Considering the events at the time, only a miracle could have stopped the disintegration of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The main reason why every news is reminding us, all the event that took place 50 years ago during the civil war is because the days of this nation NIGERIA are numbered.
When the hand of a clock return from where it took off from, it make a circle.
Nigeria have return to its former position of 1960s now and that make us to have completed our own circle.

LOOK AT THIS AND TELL ME WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND;-
1914-1960 = 46 YEARS .......BRITISH RULING US
From independent to civil war. we later come as one country in 1970
1970-2016 = 46 YEARS .......WE RULE OURSELF.
Is this not complete round of years as the British rule us?.

OK SEE THIS AGAIN (to detail our own half)
1970-1993 = 23 YEARS (JUNE 12 SAGA)
Military rule;- OBASANJO from the south complete his tenure, Buhari from the north did not complete his tenure.
1993-2016 = 23 YEARS (NOW MEDICAL VACATION SAGA)
CIVILIAN RULE;- Again OBASANJO from the south complete his tenure, again BUHARI from the north yet to complete his tenure. His tenure is now hanging on unconfirmed story.
23+23 = 46 years
What do you think is the faith of this country now, with the situation on ground and CON-FAB is standing beside him as a TIME BOMB of a suicide bomber?
