Hope15:
You are quite right. However, the referendum should depict the 'real' area we are talking about na. The fact that the supposed map still remains contentious by the 'constituents' still speaks volume. Let there be a universally certified map (in which all the included tribes have agreed to coexist together), and then I think the referendum can be called on that framework.

Amarabae:
did I hear you say Onitsha? Hahahahahaha.
You must be a comedian.
So you are eyeing onitsha, better comot eye, longer throat.

Misterdhee1:

You have no right to define 'what bondage' is for other people. That your people are in bondage in Nigeria, doesn't translate to other people being in bondage. Na una sabi why una dey bondage. Maybe your illusional biafra would solve your 'bondage problem'. Best of luck!

bush4ker:
THIS BIAFRANS NO FIT REST ?.I BE IBO BUT I KNOW THIS BIAFRA OF A THING IS ALL ABOUT SELFISH INTERESTE

napoleon77:


No one authorised me, and no one authorised you!!

If you can show me any evidence that the people.of the South-South are pro-Biafra then I would agree with you.

Odingo1:

Nobody is domineering anybody, referendum is best option, some paid agents cannot speak for others

kingzizzy:


I dont recognise anything called 'South/South' and neither does the constitution of Nigeria. What I recognise are tribes such as Ijaw, Efik, Ogoja, Ibibio, Bini etc.

So, if you mention the tribe, I will tell you if I have any evidence that they are interested in Biafra or not

rusher14:


So you want to force those that have no interest to have a referendum?

Na wa o.

kingzizzy:
These threads with some tribes saying "remove us from Biafran map"


When they put you people in 'Nigerian Map', what did you do?

nextstep:


La la la... I'm not in any mood to listen. Biafra is the 5 Igbo states. Any long story is not going to change that.

But you're right though about current ethnic identity. Things change over time. I really don't care, really, I just want successful black countries

ExpiredNigeria:
Abeg remove any group of people that don't want to be in the map..

wirinet:

So because they put us in 'Nigeria map' and we did nothing, we should also do nothing when Igbo people put us in 'Biafra map'? Besides, we had a protectorate treaty with those that put us in Nigeria map ( even if we were not consulted), what is the relationship we have with those that want to force us into Biafra map?

Nebuchadnezar:


of course that map need to be reviewed.
so many errors
the likes of itshekiri ijaw urhobo isoko need to be cut out of the map.
they are free to belong to where they are but
believe it or not the movement is waxing stronger and no force can stop it.

kiss the truth

I don't care if you're not in the mood. Don't come online and post rubbish without expecting people to comment.

I'm Igbo and I'm not nuts for Biafra and I don't claim minorities and force them to side with the "Igbo nation." I can live with an improved one Nigeria. But you're chatting some serious bull if you're discounting the western Igbo and some Anambra communities because of ancestral roots. It's common knowledge that the Igbo don't have any established migratory pattern like other tribes do and we've absorbed a lot of original outsiders into what's now a more homogeneous Igbo community. Having ancient Bini roots doesn't change that.

What about the select Delta Igbos that claim descent from Nri? Are they less Igbo than Nsukka and Enugu-Ezike people of Igala and Idoma origin because their territory is separated from the "core East" by the river Niger?

Fremancipation:
So many igbos here on nairaland has voiced the same opinion that itshekiri, urohbo, and ijaw should be left alone. IPOB Needs redraw that map and focus on people that truely want freedom and forget those that chose to remain in bondage.

Okpabana:


The should also as a matter of urgency, remove the great Idoma and Igala nations from their imaginary Biafra country.

moghulis:

Monkey. Who asked you whether you're Igbo?
Afonja goat.

Ukaegbuagbaieni:
Afonjo everywhere

yom2:
then after removing how many are u people?

Jman06:
What good are itshekiri people known for Nothing!

Please my people let's cut off all redundant tribes from Biafra!

Masculity:




This is seriousssss

Progressive01:
Thank you! They can keep Igala, but they shouldn't come anywhere close to Zone C.

nextstep:
I know I will get insulted for this, but I will say it anyway.
If Ndi-Igbo want their own country, it should be limited to Anambra (minus Onitsha*), Enugu, Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi.

Yes, people will say: what of Anioma in Delta (from Ika to Aniocha, Oshimili down to Ndokwa)? Igbos are not indigenous to these areas, though there has been migration and settlement over the last 2 centuries. Sadly, I know some misguided Anioma people who consider themselves Igbo (they are in for a rude surprise when they are labeled as non-core-Igbo). What about Rivers and Akwa-Ibom? Cross River and Bayelsa nko? Well, Igbos are not indigenous to these states either, so how can they be dragged into Biafra just like that?

*Onitsha has its origins from Bini people, but like Lagos, and Asaba, Igbos are claiming it as theirs (or at best, no-man's land**). Claiming where you migrated to as your own is bad form, especially when those you met are still around. What of all the industry built in Onitsha? Because we don't want to fight too much, we'll let you keep Onitsha since Benin hasn't exerted its influence or developed it since time immemorial.

**At the rate Igbos are in China, I won't be surprised if in 50 years, they start claiming parts of China as no-man's land!

And worse is trying to misguide people on their heritage so they will be the critical mass for your purposes.

Fire away, I wore my flame-retardent underwear today

Progressive01:
Please tell them to remove Benue South from that useless map as well.

Thanks.
