These are the kind of news that spread the fame of Biafra, instead of killing it. Let us all continue opening thread upon thread on biafra opposition, but from statistics, the movement is gathering momentum, growing larger than anyone has ever thought.

Biafra is not to be forced on anyone, and a referendum will state in clear terms who wants to join.
focus ur referendum only on the 5SE states of iboland. we dont need it pls

As an Akwa Ibom youth, I join hands with Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio to say NO to Biafra! We may have been in the first Biafra but things have changed since then. Biafra has nothing to offer to the average Akwa Ibom man other than Igbo domination.

I created a thread sometime ago concerning why ND minorities will not join Biafra but guess what? IPOB youths derailed it as in their usual fashion. These people are worst than Boko Haram. They cannot be reasoned with and these are the same persons you want the peaceful and easygoing going Ibibio man to share a country with?

Never!

AkwaCross Republic or Niger Delta Republic for us!

Atikke Akpenyong Nanga bAnyong, Usen Anie Inwang Amayem, Asuk Anyunyuk Akibbe.


You make sense, I am from s/west, I noticed the contrasting difference between the Akwa Ibomites (where I served) and the Igbos within my one year of service. Prior to my service, myself and many of us in the s/west used to see Ibibios and other Naija Deltans as Igbo, but they are obviously not, the Ibibios are not greedy, they are trustworthy and loving people. They accommodated visitors and are complacent with what they have. If there will be any division in the project called Nigeria, I support the one you suggested. My submission is based on my observation though, never meant to undermine any tribe or group.

I am igbo myself but i really don't understand why the IPOB agitators insists on including these people in their proposed map without a clear understanding with them. it's really disheartening and demeaning the kind of insult this singular action is bringing to the Igbo nation. Please, IPOB should limit their activities to the igboland within se/ss however any other people that subscribe to the biafra dreams can ask to be included.

its important to note that there are quite a number igbos who do not agree with the biafra agitation but these can be rectified through a referendum where the minority will have their say and the majority will have their way so my people let us concentrate on igboland at this time.

We got gold. We have a functional commerce that has been prospering before Nigeria was amalgamated and is still strong till now. We got very arable land that Igbos own farms on our land. I wonder why they didnt clear bushes in their erosion land for farm use. Also we are cloise to the ocean. Fisheries, maritime remain a good source of income. Ondo and LAgos have oil. So talk about your land, you want to form a landlocked country in the midst of neighbors you made your enemies. The whole Borno state is bigger than your new Biafra. Lets see how you all will survive. #fact
You have all these and there are still abject poverty in your land? Aren't you ashamed of yourself for making this comment? Why are most places in your region more of slums and ghettos in the midst of all these? This is the height of delusion

Me, I hate a Biafra with the minority tribe because they will always feel cheated but I don't go about demonizing my people because of some funny inclusion of other minority tribes because I know when the time comes, there will be procedure and rules guiding secession.

Some even went as far as telling him that he has no following even from his home.. . He was locked up yet primitive people rejoiced that he is gone forever... He is out yet minority tribes are agitating against him even when he isn't looking their way. FYI, he has dealt with PMB who is those local people shouting their brains out? Let me tell you all these online warriors, the only thing your so called association wants is recognition especially when the chips are down. They want to be included badly so the constant noise. Whomever thinks that Ibibios will raise their hands against Igbo is sleeping on a bicycle. Them have been neighbors, inter marry and go to same markets and farms for centuries. So vent your bile all you want, there is no way Ibibios or any other riverine people especially from old eastern region will fraternize with the North, not this time or in years to come. Have you ever asked yourselves what is it that corrupt hausa/Fulanis fear against the Igbo? Y it had been difficult for them to overrun all the minority tribes down south? Answer : Igbos!! They have been ur protectors if not how many would have survived Fulani headsmen?

99.99% of non-Ibos in the Old Eastern
region never supported secession
by Lt. Col. Emeka Ojukwu (rtd.) on
May 30th, 1967.

No referendum was done and this is
the same nonsense that Nnamdi and
his goons are repeating again.

Philip Effiong did NOT have the mandate of
his Ibibio people of present-day
Akwa Ibom when he aligned with
Ojukwu.

There was a COR [Calabar, Ogoja, Rivers]
Movement which was formed before
1960 and they told the British to create
a separate region for them because of
a strongly perceived Ibo domination
and finally succeeded when Chief Harold
Dappa-Biriye, the foremost Ijaw Nationalist
from Bonny Island and ex-Kings College
graduate led a strong delegation
including Ken Saro-Wiwa, the current
king of Etcheland and other Rivers State
leaders in 1966 to Gen. Gowon requesting
for the creation of up to 12 states, and
this was done on May 27, 1967.


Lagos State, Rivers State, South-Eastern State
[Present-day Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers], and 9 other states were created, but Ojukwu who was just 33 years
rejected it and plunged his Ibo citizens
and non-Ibos such as Ijaws, Ogonis,
Efiks, Ibibios, Annangs, Ejegbams,
Ikwerres, etc, into a NEEDLESS Civil War
with the forceful conscription of
non-Ibos who did NOT want to fight
against Nigeria!


Since the early 80s, I have read several
memoirs and books on the events
leading right up to the Civil War of 1967
and the IBO's are not blameless - but
thank goodness we have history to teach
us lessons but Nnamdi Kanu has not
learnt any lessons from Ojukwu's
GRAVE mistakes because on June 1, 2017, he still in a deluded manner told
a gathering that met him in his house
that the Igalas of Kogi, Idomas and Igede
people of Benue, the Urhobos, Isokos,
Ogonis, Ijaws, Ibibios, Efiks, etc, are part
of the so-called bia.fra.


Urhobos and Isokos are Edoid and during
the Mid-West invasion in 1967 by the
secessionists, Edoid groups and Itsekiris
came under seige, including the carting
away of some artifacts from the Palace
of the Oba of Benin, but they fought back
and many Mid-Westerners joined the
Nigeria Army because of that.


Ojukwu read history in the university
abroad but he did NOT learn from
world history and military defeats at all!
After being granted a Presidential pardon
by former President Shagari in the early 1980s, he came back and collected his
PENSION as a retired Lt. Colonel of the
Nigerian Army after he
had earlier been summarily dismissed
in June 1967 from the Nigerian Army
for mutiny. He allowed his Ego as a
result of the 12 newly created states
on May 27, 1967 to cause the death
of several innocent Ibos and non-Ibos!

No need to force any one .All we wud do is tell the UN that akwaibom is part of Biafra ,after which a referendum wud be conducted to ascertain the will of their ppl.
