life2017:





Before colonialisation, The whole of Anioma, ika, kwale, etc were part of Benin Kingdom and Benin Empire. After and during colonialisation, Anioma was part of Western Region. And later became part of Midwest and later became part of Bendel before becoming part of Delta State today.


Anioma has never in history be part of Eastern region. Never. Never Never. Even when Ojukwu was Governor of Eastern Region, Anioma were not under him. They were all under Midwest.

When Ojukwu wanted Biafra, He wanted the whole Midwest to be part of Biafra. Even when Ojukwu invaded Midwest (Including asaba) he named it Republic of Benin like a confederation because he could not clearly called it Biafra because they were a under a different Millitary Governor David Ejoor with headquarter in Benin City.


So part of Anioma, ika, kwale etc all part to the North of River Niger were ever part of Eastern region.

I can understand all this but this is not abiut the recreation of the old Bini empire. Bendel Republic makes no sense if people are forced into it against their will. So a referendum is very important.

I would say that in the referendum, they should be given the choice of:

Nigeria
Bendel
Biafra

The Igbo speaking part of Bendel or the Anioma area must be given a choice to decide which these 3 choices they want.

bakila:

It Bight not birth, second Biafara or Biafra is now in Cameroun. Third the Bight of Biafra covers four countries; Nigeria, Cameroun, Equitorial Guinea and Gabon.
Please ask your brothers in the three countries to prepare a referendum to have all the Biafra Bighted people under the Igbos of Nigeria and get their response.

thanks but anioma is not part of bendel and can never be part of bendel

By Gabriel Enogholase
BENIN—A group, Midwest Movement, has threatened to declare Bendel Republic if the leadership of the country fails to play its constitutional role and entrench true federalism. The group said the proposed Bendel Republic is made up of Edo and Delta states and comprise 12 tribes that include Akoko-Edo, Esan, Benin, Etsako, Owan, Anionma, Ika, Ndokwa, Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw and Itsekiri. The movement warned that should government continue to play the ostrich with the current agitations for restructuring, the Midwest region will resist all attempts to annex, attach or conscript it as part or any part of its near or far neighbours. The group said: “If the federation of Nigeria fails to hold under the weight of government’s inability to play its constitutional role and because of the reckless actions of ethnic jingoists, the Midwest territorial area shall employ, embrace and adopt every available international instrument, conventions and protocols to take its destiny in its hands as a territory to be called Bendel Republic or any name or appellation our people so choose to adopt.” Dr. Don Obaseki, Convener of the movement, in an eight-point demand in Benin, the Edo State capital yesterday, said the group was deeply concerned about the situation in the country, adding that “the federation of Nigeria is in dire crisis due to injustice, marginali-sation and flagrant violation of the terms agreed upon by its founding fathers.” …lists demands The group demanded, among others, “that government and representatives of the people in parliament to consciously heed the voices of reason on the call for a re-federalisation of the country, using all available constitutional means, while factoring the interests and aspirations of all ethnic nationalities in Nigeria; “That government and its officials refrain from and resist the temptation of casting all those calling for peaceful resolution of the current political impasse as mere appointment seekers; “Government should, as a matter of urgency, broaden its consultation and engagement with stakeholders of all ethnic nationalities, with a view to working out modalities to ease the current avoidable tension in the country.”
