Do you condemn the killing of Igbos by MEND and other ND millitants[size=14pt] in the Asaba massacre[/size]? A simple yes or no would suffice.

Interestingly, your fellow partner in act, Sapeleguy has gone into hibernation. cheesy cheesy cheesy

In Biafra? Or hunger as a war tactic. Oh yes I do! And very strongly too.

all the fake defenders of ND should leave it alone

because sjeezy is not fake I call a spade a spade. NNPC's policy is to lift Oil in any and all Oil producing states in Nigeria. I dont care about any tribalism or any militants or anything.

Damn you and your Igbo agenda  .   .   we are all Nigerians and Nigeria has come to stay, the earlier you get that into your head the better for you. Take it upon yourself that  YOU are only making your self a second class citizen with the MYTH that the Northerners and Yoruba are in control and they are wicked people. Hmmmmmmmm
My Igbo Agenda shocked shocked
You might be making yourself a second class citizen by believing that igbos recruit even non-ibos for an igbo agenda.
Does the ability to state the facts make you an igbo ?
Well i'm finished with you my dear.

Anyone else with facts for or against the argument?

I am not refering to the civil war killings or the Asaba killings. I am refering to the killing of Igbos by MEND and other ND millitants.  I know you wish to sweep it under the carpet and dismiss it as tall tales, but that will not cut it.

This article mentioned documented killings of hundreds of Igbos. http://www.igbokwe.org/Akobundu.html  Why can't you just say, if this criminal acts took place, "I Beaf condemn it".   If you can't say that, we may start thinking that you support the attrocious killings.

My friend, stop going about creating websites in desperation. But like I said, this is a veeeeery fuuuuuunny thread, where the desperado's have all come out, decked in all their fakery, to first "defend" the ND from the Igbo's; after failing woefully, they are now "defending" the Igbo's from the ND. . . And failing very woefully in this new pursuit as well (due to low brain power grin grin grin).

My questions to you have nothing to do with ND or MEND apologists. You have refused to condemn violent acts against ndiigbo by MEND and other ND millitants, your act has been fully noted.

Why is your partner in act, Sapele guy in hibernation?

adigun101:

You see your backwardness? Take ND from who ?
Who owns it at the moment.
Ijaw, Urhobo, Edo, Efik ,  or from themseleves (ibos)
If anyone owns ND it is Niger river.
My point is that ibo constitutes about 30% of ND indegenes.

Thank you very much adigun101. I am really impressed with your resolute pursuit of the truth here. Unfortunately, your type is very rare in Nigeria. By rare I mean those who are prepared to say the truth no matter whose ox is gored.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.  wink

So how can one lay "claim" to what he partly owns? Isn't it foregone that he partly owns it I cannot "claim" to own part of my fathers property.

I think that Ken Saro Wiwa's poem captures the essence of this discourse. I will post excerpts.

The enemies of Ndigbo and Niger delta are at work and I hope my Niger delta brothers see them clearly.
Some of them claim to be from Niger delta but are infact northerners or westerners.
Open your eyes and stop them!

Nice poem. Are you quoting the same Wiwa, knowing that in 1995, Ojukwu signed government documents identifying himself as a witness to Wiwa's death?  The same Wiwa whom Ojukwu had counted as an enemy since the collapse of Biafra's secessionist movement? na wa o.

As to the claim that ibo constitutes about 30% of ND indegenes, many in ND believe that the number may be close to less than 5% rather than the 30% you are claiming as fact.  Please provide supporting evidence to substantiate your claims.  White lies will not cut it here.

Now back to you defending Niger delta! A while ago you were defending Igbo !
Ha ndu_chuks!
Are you that desperate

So Ojukwu is now the Abacha and Oladipo Diya that hanged Wiwa.
Was Ojukwu holding any government post in 1995?
Was he a judge in the case?
Was he the governor of rivers state?

Do you think people are as daft as you!


Na wa for you.

Unlike you and others, I will stand against injustice, whether it is perpetrated against the Almanjiris of the North, the Ogonis, the Igbos of Delta state, or any other Nigerian. I don't see events through tribal lenses as you do.

Read the following article for your enjoyment. I will continue to expose those who want to perpetrate terror and crimes against any group of Nigerians. Period.

Here's the article, titled "Igbos of Delta State and Crisis of Identity" : 

http://www.nigeriansinamerica.com/articles/2846/1/Igbos-of-Delta-State-and-Crisis-of-Identity-Part-1/Page1.html


Extract:


If there is any separate and distinct tribal group that has been contributing a lot to the development of Nigeria, it is none other than the Igbos of delta state. I believed that if  IBB’s regime had given  us our cherished Anioma State, we would have fared better than under the present gang-like hegemony of the Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ezon, Isoko and Ijaw. We  never bargained for this present raw deal with IBB. In fact, we were better off under the Benin Kingdom than under the present Urhobo ‘Korokoro’ arrogant domination and hegemonic tendencies.

More, read the rest yourselves


The irony of this act of impunity is that the same people  who are fighting for injustice in the Niger Delta are deliberately and consciously denying the Igbo-speaking people justice in Delta State. The ubiquitous James Ibori, as a former governor of the state, was virtually operating from Warri, leaving Asaba in the most despicable state of disrepair. How can you be crying foul against the Federal government and fighting for justice when your stock is virtually denying Igbos in Delta State the same justice?

Your answer, thanks to Adigun -adigun101



Mind you ND is different from south - south.
ND is a geographical entity while SS is a geo-political entity.
The region known as the Niger-Delta are made up of the following Nigerian states. with their ibo composition.

Abia - 100%
Akwa-Ibom - 5%
Cross River State - 7%
Edo - 1%
Imo - 100%
Ondo States. - 0%
Delta State - 30 %
Rivers State - 60%
Bayelsa State - 15%

This is proof that the ibos have the right to claim ND.
