People, I mean young people in the South should stop all these hate speeches. They created more problems and divide the people. Over a month and again, few days ago when I read the Victor Banjo's son short story on his father, I know he felt pained that while Ojukwu was given a befitting burial and honoured while his father was forgotten. I remembered Isaac Adaka Boro who declared Niger Delta Republic and later fought on the Federal side after release from detention was honoured with a park ( Boro Park) for memorial in Port-Harcourt. He still deserves a big memorial. Immediately, I remembered Gen Philip Effiong. I was thinking about the reaction of the children of Philip Effiong to the way their father's name was forgotten without any honour. It pained me. To me the only essence of Victor Banjo story and this complaint about the neglect of Gen Philip Effiong's contribution to the national history is just for the Nigeria as a nation to recognise them that they are heroes and should be honoured. The families and may be, the spirit of these men are revolting that while Ojukwu enjoyed the rest of his life, celebrated and honoured in life and at death, their fathers are not being honoured and remembered. It is not Ojukwu or the Ibos that made it that way. The only way to move forward is to accept what has happened and move forward. 4 Likes |

ernieboy:You are obviously from the dirty waste known for their treachery but if you're from the N.D then I'm sorry for you for allowing the enemy to continue using you. The same article showed that Ojukwu's vice and the SGF, the two most important portfolios were held by the same minorities, even the chief propagandist of Biafra (Okokon Ndem) is also from Akwa Ibom and several others like Mathew Mbu, the minister of foriegn affairs yet they keep making noise about an imaginary Igbo domination. Very soon the oil will finish and the lovely a.b.o.ki.s will show you their true colour.They will not even allow a Southerner to be the minister of FCT because it is in the north but NNPC, customs & others in the South are controlled by them! Continue behaving like slaves to people that are not in the least better than you. SMH. 9 Likes 1 Share |

You cannot neglect or ignore Phillip Effiong excerpt you don't know him. Biafra presence especially Igbos was great. Effiong till death believed in what he fought for. I wouldn't be surprised if amnesty was offered him and he rejected it. He refused to leave Biafra with Ojukwu. Few can be as brave. Jockey became repentant by joining NPN. Effiong remained intact to the end. 8 Likes |

Goddygee:Good! I am an Ibo. But I stayed in Bayelsa for 1 yr. Do you know the fear is not even Biafra, its the possibility of other groups in the Niger Delta area to seek for separation. I was with some ijaw old men who told me plainly that if Niger Delta is to be on their own, they will separate into pellets due its multiple ethnic groups in it. This Biafra agitation is an eye opener to the Ibos. Not all those who you call brothers and sisters really think you are. Ibos work with others but fight for your own right- Whosoever comes close to you accept else push them far from your reach. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Biafra is an Igbo agenda and I repeat is an Igbo agenda, their adding Akwaibom, Uyo, PH, and Delta state is just out of the inherent oppressive and greedy nature of the Igbos and any SS member thinking Biafra is for him is living a pipe dream. Biafra is an Igbo agenda period. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Araba!. Ans: SS and SE Who led the coup? Ans: SS Who failed to execute the SS,SE coup ans: SS, SE, Sw even though okotie eboh who was from the old eastern region was killed then, maybe it wasn't enough. Who was killed in a counter coup? ans:SE Who was and have been blamed for the coup? ans; SE Who was released from prison to gather his people so we can push the north back as they were heading to South with the British forces? ans: SW, pa awolowo What was the war for? ans; Oil and colonial power. Where was the army heading to? ans;SS and SE Who betrayed the war? ans: SS, SW and SE Who were they coming kill: ans: SS and SE What region were defending themselves? ANS: SS and SE Who betrayed the war from the Niger Delta; ans; SS Who started another agitation after the war? SW,SS,SE, NC, NE If SS fought to defend theirself, why will they not acknowledge their own. It musn't be the duty of Igbo even though igbos acknowledge general effiong.

How would Igbos have restored Gen Effiong. Was it Igbos that have been in power since then. Did the family make any submission to Igbos or General Effiong apply for restoration to Inbox or seek assistance and was turned down. Did he seek help from South eastern governors and was turned down. What a lame thinking by Fulani Oligarchy so as to sow seeds of discord. Bi.afra will not operate a unitary govt like the zoo skewed to favor the Fulanis only. Even in the north how many hausas or other ethnic group have been or would be allowed vie president other than Fulani from Niger republic lording it on the rest. 8 Likes 1 Share |

If you are a regular listener of Radio Biafra London, you must have heard Sir Nnamdi Kanu giving respect to Effiong even more than Ojukwu for standing his ground and saying no to Nigerian politics unlike Ojukwu. Stop saying we abandoned him. 3 Likes |
