Who Owns Biafra, Ijaw Or Igbo? - Asari by MetaPhysical: 11:58pm On Apr 29, 2019
In this video clip, Asari Dokubo reiterates that BIAFRA belongs to Ijawland, not Igboland. He warns Nnamdi Kanu to go and find another name befitting his struggle for Igbo secession and that no one can take Biafra from Ijaw or institute the name without Ijaw approval and authority.

This is where the Master/Slave relationship becomes clearer when Igbo must seek authority of Ijaw in order to name their struggle Biafra!

The mad fool is at it again!
5 states make up Igboland, the ijaws do not even have one and he is arguing. A minority tribe that live in the creeks and not even more than 8 percent of the population of Nigeria and he's busy running his mouth about.

When we were all shouting that Nnamdi Kanu was creating more enemies than friends with his approach to Biafra, they branded us afonja, aboki, saboteurs etc. Hope say una eyes don dey clear now, take everybody along and don't look down on anybody in a struggle. That's how it's done all over the world and Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB can't be different if they are really serious.
Just imagine this man taking a swipe at the Igbo nation because of IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu, what a shame to us.

I don't care if he spoke the truth. I am not Biafran, i am Edo. The ijaws keep battling for relevance everywhere. They are doing it in Edo and Ondo. It doesn't concern me if the own Biafra or not. Asari Dokunbo's character is typical of an Ijaw man. Ijaws can't be like Yoruba, Hausa or Igbos. They are the fulanis of southern Nigeria.

I want Nigeria to be restructured not Biafra or any silly name.

List your business on https://www.nairakobo.com.ng/

you want zoogeria to be restructured but you are in your house crossing your legs, drinking beer and watching premier league football instead of hitting the streets and mobilizing young people like yourself to take back your SILLY zoogeria from its northern slave masters in a youth propelled revolution?!!!

hahahahahahahahaha!!!

stop being a clowning cowardly sissy and go and challenge the northern cabals as MNK did before he narrowly escaped death and let's see why ALL of my fearless people, the great easterners, would not line up behind you and support you to the hilt!!!

The different ethnic people of Delta have suffered one kind of discrimination and oppression or the other even before the arrival of Britain to colonize the land.

Asari has a very deep sense of pride in his ancestry and roots. He dials back often to the 1800s and reminisces on the past glories of his people and their power and control of the Eastern sea coast. The Dutch and Portuguese were the offshore merchants but Kalabaris, Ijaws were the onshore merchants and the Dutch and Portuguese traded through the coastal people who then retailed items upland to the people in the Eastrern interior, the Ibos, Igalas, Tivs and so on. There was a relationship stack....and Ijaw was at the top of that stack. So when Britain got here it was also the Ijaw Chiefs that signed protectorate treaties with them.

By order of things political, Yoruba was the Western leg for Nigeria and Hausa was the Northern leg for Nigeria, Ijaw ought to have been the Eastern leg for Nigeria. Why did it not?

Cause going by natural order and selection, the Igbos were always going to be dominant tribe in the East. You can pitch it down to anything/reason thereof (population, luck, talent, and perhaps a hampering docility among the minority Eastern tribes in that drive for dominance etc...).

Although I still see both SS and SE as brothers and right from the onset, they always go together as one and have the same political mindset.

But the Igbos need to stop something which ain’t that good, and that’s trying to insult other people heroes and trying to see the world only through their own lenses.

Isaac Adakaboro gotta do what he did for his clan when he noticed the Igbos are starting to lord over them and he’s fighting for his people, why tag him betrayal, it just dosen’t make any sense.

Ojukwu did what he did in the Biafra war because he thought Nigeria isn’t good anymore for his people and he waged a fight he thought was right, to the Igbos he’s a hero, but to others it might be different.

Awolowo did what he did also to stop the senseless war because the tactics he used is based on ideology, why do Igbos hate him and tag him betrayal. Betrayal to who and what exactly.

Every tribe has their own hero who might be an enemy to another tribe, but it’s just insane when you go about tagging other people betrayal just for defending their people.

Dokubo might not be totally right in this video, but he spoke some words that’s worth pondering on.

It had nothing to do with dominance, Ijaw was the dominant force in the East. Missionaries played a significant role in the end result that produced Ibo as a majority.

And where has hausa, yoruba and fulani leadership gotten us to? Simple answer, no where! The igbos are smart enough to know that Nigeria has now entered a state of "every man for himself, God for us all". Develop what you can, where you can... If you keep on hoping for presidency to fix this mess... Then wait till kingdom come.

I would not mind giving a brief touch on it,nothing intense because it is a different subject from the thread.

British attempted to overthrow each kingdom they came in contact with, whether or not they welcomed them with war or in peace. They attempted to overthrow Kings in Yorubaland, the Yorubas outsmarted them and retained their dynasties, particularly in case of Oba of Lagos, Awujale of Ijebuland and Alake of Egbaland. In Egbaland where Alake ruled, they wanted to usurp his power by imposing returned indigenes who are now missionaries to set up parallel courts; the colonial power would only recognize the new courts. Alake outsmarted them and enrolled his children in school to study western education and become missioners. Though they never went into theology, they ended up becoming legal luminaries in Nigeria...one of them Sir Adetokunbo Ademola was Chief Justice of Nigeria from 1958 to 1972. In the North they attempted to depose all the Fulani Emirs and reinstate the Hausa Sarkis on throne. They met stiff opposition and they sacked Sultan of Sokoto and sent him into exile. They deposed many Emirs and exiled them and put replacements on the throne. Fulanis outsmarted them as well and frustrated their efforts. They ended killing the Sultan but in the aftermath they succeeded in subduing the Fulani Kings and in exchange for peace British colonialists agreed not to bring christian missionary work to the core North. In the East, they made a similar sweep but the Ijaw terrain in the lower creeks is an atrocious one. Beside the difficulty of navigation, the dense muck and very high humidity and fever contributed to shield the Ijaw communities from much of missionary penetration and deposition. In the higher creeks however the story was different...in places like Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Onitsha, Asaba, and all over Iboland, missionaries, indigeneous and foreign made a success penetration and a welcome. Thus East is the most Christianized part of Nigeria. In fact Ibos will tell you proudly that it is abomination to find a muslim in their midst, there is none. In a video made by an ipob, he wondered whay a muslim would want to be a Biafran, referring to Asari...and he even went on record to say you cannot be a muslim and a biafran at same time, the two do not go together. This highlights the christian legacy and missionary mindset left behind by missionaries that worked in Iboland. So Ibos became the parallel court and the one recognized by colonialists, thus pushing the traditional heierarchy of Ijaw as the Eastern mainstream political power to the back burner. Ibo became a majority, Ijaw which should have, lost.

The Igbos are far greater than the Ijaw in land mass and population. Igbo land extend from parts of southern Benue,parts of delta and rivers and the five SE states.The British Christianized both the SE and SS at equal straight. In the 60s Igbos were dominant in not only the southern eastern part but in finance, industry, trade,military all over Nigeria.
