It is not about happening areas. Its about where and who are owners of portharcourt. Portharcourt is jointly owned by ikwerre and ijaw. Kalabari and okrika people are ijaw speaking tribe ikwerre is a subset of Igbo.

Funny enough the ikwerres dont consider themselves Igbo by a vast majority. However, the kalabari and okrika man will tell u the ikwerres are igbos. So ikwerre man is always entangled with identity crisis

Papa still want his pension money to be flowing from Fulanis.

I'm from Rivers state, Etche. We're Biafrans. Papa like this as he said he fought against my people (biafra) cos he was being paid by the Fulanis to kill his people. Shame.

We just dey observe things, when the time come, all men go know where them belong. But whatever it is, Fulanis and Rivers state have no business staying together

You spot-on


Ikwerre's never accept that they re subset of Igbo's. They detest it when u refer them to be and always have the audacity to call an Etche man Igbo

YungMillionaire:
It will take nothing short of an outright war for the Ijaws to cede Port Harcout to Biafra. I hope the Igbos are ready for another pogrom. Otherwise, my advice would be to limit Biafra to the 5 landlocked states of the South East.

EzeUche:

What does a Yoruba like yourself know of the East besides what you read on Nairaland?

EzeUche:

Stay out of Eastern affairs.

EzeUche:

And Igbos will not be restricted to just the southeast since Igboland is much larger

EzeUche:

We not tolerate the continued Balkanization of Igboland.

Everyone will answer their papa's name

YungMillionaire:

Everyone that disagrees with an ipob is a Yoruba. Try something new, this one is stale.


No, I will not. This is a Yoruba man forum. Since you say I am Yoruba, I reserve the right to speak in a Yoruba man's forum.



Like I said, if you exist on grabbing Ijaw land be prepared for a worse pogrom than the last one


But, no one is Balkanizing the 5 land-locked erosion ridden glorified villages of the South-East.


You are correct. Igbos will relocate en-masse to the SE otherwise yawa go gaz

Afonja and finding any inconsequential negative news they can lay their hands on out of desperation that their divide and rule is no longer working....you are wasting your time. Let IPOB Igwuocha catch you..I swear!

Albert Horsfall was the first Director General of the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA) and was a DG of Department of Security Service (DSS). He told Daily Trust on Sunday the position on the South-South on the renewed agitation for Biafra.



The Biafra agitators last week ordered their supporters to sit at home in commemoration of the declaration of State of Baifra by Ojukwu 50 years ago. Do you think Baifra dream is still achievable?

Baifra is a name derived from a goddess from Kalabari River. That river leads you very close to Abonnema. It is called ‘Ereya- toru’. Abonnema is Akuku- torlu proper. Ereye- toru is where Baifra derived its name. We The Kalabaris, the Ijaws, don’t need Baifra State, country or whatever you call it. So whatever is happening there in Baifra is a fight. They are finding a way of addressing their agitation. As far as I am concerned this is a democratic dispensation. In Nigeria, everybody is entitled to agitate, to argue, to discuss issues which they think are dear to them. But if it on the issue of Baifra that we fought for during the civil war, it has been defeated and is dead and gone.

What is your view on those that want it resurrected?

And for anybody to now try to resurrect it, I will advise those involved in it to pursue other more serious issues to channel their energy. When they talk of Baifra and include part of Rivers State, Port Harcourt and other parts is non starter. River State before it became a political entity had been a socio-cultural entity where the Ijaw communities and all the riverine communities, such as Kalabari, Bonny, Okrika, Andoni and the upland communities, including the Ogonis and so on interacted; we have been brothers and sisters. We intermarried hundreds of years ago. For instance, I have blood relations in Ogba\egbema\Ndoni and we are happy living side by side with our friends.

Are you saying that Baifra is dead?

The Ojukwu Baifra is dead and gone. We fought a civil war here and I led a special security delegation here alongside the military. We represented Nigeria’s united interest which General Gowon represented. We all served here and the war was fought and it was over and Gowon declared no victor no vanquished verdict and that concept is still there. We are living very happily with everybody. Port Harcourt is the capital of Rivers State from time to time, the issue of Port Harcourt has been a subject of agitation. Port Harcourt was one of the issues the so-called Biafra demanded and this matter was discussed in Kampala.

I don’t know why people are bothered about Baifra and want to resurrect it and create tension which is totally unnecessary. Those that are staking interest in Port Harcourt have no locus standi whatsoever. We don’t want to resurrect things that will create tension in this country. Like I said earlier, everybody has a right to agitate but to agitate on somebody else’s territory is wrong. So, if anybody wants to cede Port Harcourt, the person is looking for trouble. We should not look for trouble anymore. Those of us who were old enough and saw the Civil War which was unnecessary, created by Ojukwu who wanted to separate from Nigeria. The Civil War took a lot of innocent lives. We don’t want to see it repeated. The agitation for Biafra should stop. I’m not saying that they should not agitate but they should not do it in somebody’s territory. They should remove Port Harcourt from it.

EzeUche:


Yoruba face North and leave the East alone.

All you said was gibberish.

No one from the East pays attention to your people. That is why most Biafrans are ignoring you.
