SS Is Not Part Of Defunct Biafra- Ijaw Monarch Speaks Out! by pazienza(m): 9:15pm On Jun 07, 2017 |
By Emma Amaize ASABA – FORMER National Chairman of the Traditional Rulers of Oil Minerals Producing Communities of Nigeria, TROMPCON and paramount ruler of Seimbiri Kingdom, Delta State, His Majesty Pere Charles Ayemi-Botu, Tuesday, said South-South geo-political zone was not part of the defunct Biafra. Ayemi-Botu, aka Lion of Niger, who was reacting to a statement by a Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Solomon Chukwu, that South-South region was part of Biafra territory, told Vanguard that the claim was unfounded. His words: “Ordinarily, one would not have reacted to Solomon Chukwu’s incredible statement that the South- South geopolitical Zone is part of defunct Biafra that ceased to exist after the 30 months, July 6, 1967 Nigeria – Biafra civil war that ended on January 12. 1970.” “ It is pertinent to ask how old was Solomon when the war broke out and how did he come to the conclusion that he knew the history of the Biafran ( Igbo )struggle for self -determination much more than those who actively took part and were in the theatre of war. “Perhaps, Solomon Chukwu did not know before the 1967 civil war, there were only four Regions in Nigeria, Northern, Eastern, Western and Midwest. The four regions have their headquarters in Kaduna, Enugu, Ibadan and Benin in the same order and four military governors. “And when Lt-Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu proclaimed the then Eastern region as the Republic of Biafra with Enugu as the capital, all the rest ethnic nationalities, including those in Cross River, Rivers/Bayelsa and the present five Igbo states were in Biafran enclave and were consequently liberated, thus leading to the end of succession in 1970,” he asserted. The monarch added: “From the foregoing analysis, there is no justification whatsoever for Solomon Chukwu to give wrong assertion or imposing or annexing south- south to south-east, my candid and fatherly advice is for us to embrace dialogue and allow peace to reign, there is no sustainable part to peace through war – war but through jaw – jaw.” He asserted: “The amalgamation of the north and south by Sir Lord Frederick Lugard in 1914 expired in 2014 and all true patriots of Nigeria are now calling for restructuring and true fiscal federalism in order to foster peace, harmony, equity, competitiveness and development. It is then and only then we can achieve our rightful place or position as the giant of Africa and the most populous black nation in the world.” “Nigeria is abundantly blessed with human and natural resources, but nepotism, avarice, corruption, ethno-religious sentiments and winner take all syndrome are endemic cankerworms in the body polity of our beloved country, Nigeria. Together, we all should imbibe equity, justice, fairness, transparency, love and upper most, the fear of God in our dealings with humanity,” he said. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/06/ssouth-not-part-defunct-biafra-says-hm-ayemi-botu/ 6 Likes |

Isn't it funny that this Ijaw man thinks he can also speak for Igbos in Delta and Rivers state while hiding under the nebulous term SS. I also hope that Igbo unity beggars take record of this. This is a traditional ruler, not a politician speaking. #Operation Noah's Ark 15 Likes |

pazienza: I wonder wtf he is doing in Asaba to declare this. I hope to God that ediot isn't trying to claim Asaba as part of his ijaw clan. Asaba was never part of theor land would NEVER be part of their land. Ijaws we aren't urhobo, yoruba or even iteskiri. We will fight una to the T to defend our land from any land grabbing attempt you lots have the tendency to do. You can declare Ijaws as part of Nigeria. Asaba on the other hand is Biafra and you can pack your shit and get the Bleep out when she arrives 6 Likes 1 Share |

Honstely speaking i don't know what is wrong with IPOB And Massob .this people have said it so many times that they are not part of Biafra still yet the keep on including them in biafra map even including some Northern state . I'm very ashamed any time this small group keep on insulting igbos because of this rubbish IPOB and Massob are doing. Majority of Igbos are in support of Biafra that will only include only Igbos in South East, South South and Middle belt. Not this Mini Nigeria IPOB and Massob are planning. It's high time the should call IPOB and Massob to order this disgraceful act must stop Enough is Enough 6 Likes |

Ikenna0b: Funny enough, I got this news from Proudly Anioma proudly Igbo facebook page. It was posted there by an Ika man from Agbor who is a member of that group. I don't count Ika in when I speak of Biafra, because we have many Edophillic igbophobic entities there, I know this much because I'm also a member of Onu Ika facebook group. But we do still have some strongly Igbophillic voices there holding forte, though I fear they may be out numbered by the Edophilic ones that seem to be quite vociferous and vehement in their Igbophobic ways. We can only count on Oshimili and Aniocha as it stands in Igbo speaking Delta North. # Operation Noah's Ark 6 Likes 1 Share |

Ipob and massob should hold their leaders accountable before claiming marginalization from Nigeria..... You claim the Yorubas are coward and betrayal, the Fulani's are blood sucking demon and the igbos are Jew that want to develop their land. Questions to my brother 1 how are you marginalize 2 who are the people marginalizing you 3 why is the debate so hot now that buhari is in charge. 4 what is role of the Igbo leaders in the development of this region. NB every tribe are claiming marginalization cause Nigeria is not properly structure but if Nigeria functions in a proper structure all this agitation will die a natural death...... Just like I told someone today that Nigeria as been cursed with bad leaders and only a proper change can put us at.the right track....... Igbo's should have it in mind that the same set of people will still govern them when this dreams is actualise...... I still prefer one NIGERIA with leaders with heart of Gold...... 3 Likes |

At least, ijaw oil is for north, and ijaw is conquered by north, Biafra does not need ijaw, let ijaw free themselves from oil pollution first....another odi is around the corner I assured ijaw.... Ijaw should always know their land belong to the north Meanwhile, the man is even confused ....saying Nigerian has expired and still wanted to live in expired Nigeria...

Nasa28:if fulani man says kwara is not yorubaland, I will just laugh at him, but when kwara people say they are not yoruba, then I will take them seriously. Igbos claim ika are igbos, majority dissociated themselves. A case study is sunday oliseh. They say ikwerres are igbos, ikwerres say no. Aniomas are still indifferent. They say portharcourt is igbo land, the governor of rivers state/port harcourt built a stadium and named it after yakubu gowon (the same man who killed 3million igbos) What message do you think he's passing across as an ikwerre man? Shey na by force to associate with people who don't want to associate with you? 15 Likes |
