The first portion of this thread gave the @op, away. He's neither from the region nor from delta state. The topic of the thread is different from the content.

@op, do something else to keep yourself busy.

To the put so much thought to this and then bring out such crap, shows something is wrong or someone/nairaland is messing up your mind.

Please get busy with better things.

why did I Create this thread?!?.
Simple.
I want to Defuse the mind of those few Igbo's who has been attaching you guys to Biafra.
I want them to Understand that the Reason why y'all will never Join Biafra is Stronger that any other reason that can make y'all join Biafra.
that is why I even went to the extent of Given them Examples and Sources
if you Check the Heading of this Post and read the post.

[b]Why Ijaw,Urhobo & Itshekiri will never join Biafra.


Ordinary, I wud have jus read this trash and move along. Jus lije Tonyebarcanista said, you want to see some e-fight as a result of this poo you wrote.

Jus so you know the Ijaws dont want Opobo. Opobo is Ijaw by ecerything you can imagine.
Hw can they annex Opobo wen they are the same people.
This is wat I think you shud do with your life.
Get on a vehicle and later, on a boat and move down to Opobo town.
When you get there, ask the locals who they really are and stop this rubbish of yours.

Jus because your head is flat doesnt mean your brain shud be flat as well.

The reason the minorities are scared of joining biafra is becoz biafra is not a fertile ground for the minorities. For example, i ve not heard of an urhobo billionaire that made his money from igbo land.
Urhobo has made so much money from yoruba land and the north. If not for islam, the urhobos are more at peace with the hausas than igbos.
The issue of warri crisis will linger on forever until the itsekiris differentiate between ode-itsekiri or iwere (old warri) and warri town ( new warri).


It is your prerogative to stay in Niger-Area. IPOB cannot beg Urhobo to join Biafra. Not every dumbass shall become Biafra.

Efewestern:
Let me address some issues raised on your article .

First of all the itsekiris were never at the mercy of ijaw, the crisis cost both itsekiri, ijaw and urhobo a lot and since that crisis no tribe dare bring the issue of war.

And secondly the issue of warri city and warri kingdom.

Warri city: warri city is owned by urhobo/isoko , itsekiri and ijaw with 80% of the city been in urhobo land.

Warri Kingdom: Warri kingdom refers to Itsekiri domain, the itsekiris refers to their land as iwerre or warri, so when the itsekiris say Olu of warri they mean Lord of all itsekiri land. while urhobo ONLY make use of warri when refering to urhobo towns in warri city. don't mix them up.

a little contributions from some of my brothers will make you understand warri a little bit

Like TonyeBarcanista said, this thread was created to cause disaffection so there was no need for a response. The Op didn't create the thread to be educated but to throw jibes, as if in retaliation to our constant denial of their Biafra.

I am glad that they finally realise why WE CAN NEVER BE A PART OF THEIR BIAFRA!

For stating the fact that you so much hate to hear?

You guys should assimilate this and make peace with it. Jared007 is right.

Urhobos will always be more at home and at peace in Yorubaland than elsewhere. To put it in comparative terms, we would rather stay with Hausas than with Igbos.

It is not a thing of hate but what history and experience have predisposed us to, coupled with the forceful rhetoric of online miscreants and IPOB youths who think everyone's land in the South is up for grabs.

you be big ode confirm, don't you know that the money was forcefully taken from Urhoboland and criminally allocated to North and Yorubaland through political machinations in the first place? of course everybody moves in the direction of the money and i bet you Igbos never carried last in that regard

I get you,but these are not enough reasons to demand a separate country.
All what you mentioned can be effectively addressed by restructuring the current system.
It will benefit Igbos more to continue as Nigerians ( atleast,for now) until such a time they're well prepared.
Igbos suffered a great deal to get to their present stage in the nation since after the war and it will be plain stupidity to lose all what they've achieved in their quest for Biafra. Infact,Igbos should be the ones at the fore front of championing a united Nigeria until such a time they're ready for their on country,which sadly is not yet ripe.
Tribalism,religious extremism,bad leadership,unhealthy competition and discrimination,lack of development etc are still very much present in SE.
What Igbos should do now is to hold their leaders and elites accountable for the resources under their control,start thinking homewards in investments and to push for restructuring of the country.

I agree that restructuring will solve most of these things.

But these Northern oligarchy will never settle for it, that's why all Southerners should support Secession so that

They will settle for Total restructuring.

As things stands now, if the Igbos SUCCESFULLY exits

The North will make a pepper soup of other regions.

Efe, you owe nobody explanation on the Ijaw/Itsekiri/Urhobo issue.

The OP just want to cause e-war among the tribes; that is his purpose of creating the thread.

The question is, what is HIS INTEREST in this subject when he is neither Ijaw nor Itsekiri nor Urhobo nor even a Deltan (and definitely he isn't from the South south geopolitical zone)?

I saw a lot of crap and misinformation but I won't bother responding because they came from a misinformed and ill-conceived mind.
You won't bother to respond but because it came from "a misinformed and ill-conceived mind" but because you have become scared of these irritating kids and fear you'd incur their wrath like you did in the last.

dont allow urself to be deceived..the eastern leaders aint accountable for anything,are they the ones to establish ports in the east? are they the ogas to channel excess freights from lagos to warri and ph and onne ports? Are they the ones to order headqtrs of oil companies back to base of exploration and operation? Resources in the form of monetary allocations doesnt solve a thing,otherwise,the entire north,that corners a larger chunk of fg allocation and the country's wealth,would've transformed into dubai long b4 now. Apart from lagos,whats there to show distinctively in other sw states?

Total restructuring and true federalism/resource control are the only way out. And as u rightly put it,the north wud never acquise to that,hence they leave us with no choice buh to sound the drum of self determination..i wonder why that is to hard for afonjas to digest..

Yes,Jaja(An Igbo man) gave his Empire the name Opobo,in respect to an Ijaw King who he(Jaja) admire so much.
and that is also how the names of the town came about.
You can Give buhari an Ibani or Ijaw name and if you like give him an Ibani Tittle.

the only language that proved where they come from.
