The division my brother was done by the British, Hausa and Yoruba to gain access to Biafra oil.

Till this day, some of our brothers both in SS/SE still never get sense.

I hope we can change this narrative and develop our country.

All the Biafran tribes are one and nothing to fight over. We compliment each other.

Nijanija:

The cause of the first civil war in nija is still very fresh in our minds , the SE started nepotism and onye madu in this country this is why dey can't unite . There might be another in that region if they eventually gain freedom from nigeria just like the south Sudan .

allcomage:
Unity among the tribes involved will give them referendum.

gwarotango:
A referendum silly never happen in Nigeria for as long those agitating for it chose to remain outside of the mainstream political process. So my advice to you secessionists is to form a political party, get elected to positions of power and use it as a platform to outside you're goals. Anything other than this is a waste of time because you will be crushed and the whole world will look the other way

Almaiga:
Unity beggers, go and form your Biafra alone. The South South is not interested.

hammerVJ:



Kanu is doing well.

From ICC to UN, even EU, Israel, US, Biafra is on the table.

Nigeria political party is not an option.

A zoo that will kil all the political reprsentatives and arrest all members of that political party whilst declaring dem terrorist organisation.

If u can declare areligious group like shiite terrorist, who and wat will u not declare terrorist?

A failed state that keeps recycling leaders from the 1970s to rule in 2019

gwarotango:
Then you've set yourselves up for failure. Of the international organizations you mentioned which one of them has even remotely mentioned your cause? To my recollection, none. Do you know how many secessionist groups there are in the world today? They are legion and yet we don't have a new nation state carved out every year. Nnamdi Kanu is playing on your sentiments while smiling to the bank to collect your hard earned money. The whole world recognizes Nigeria as a sovereign entity with inviolable borders, no one knows Kanu or even gives him more than a passing look. Sorry but Kanu cannot get you Biafra

hammerVJ:



How did Kanu end up on Israel news and in Israel?


Y did Israel Prime Minister mention Biafra in his state address?


Who is holding and inviting Kanu to meeting in UN and EU?


I think Biafra break away from Nigeria will come as a surprise to some of u.


Just one little mistake, is wat they are waiting for now.

gwarotango:
For the fact that the Israeli PM mentioned you in passing in one of his numerous speeches doesn't mean a thing, besides you fail to realize the context in which he did. For your information, the ties between Isreal and Nigeria are quite strong and I don't see anything in the near future that will change that. Also what makes you think that a far away middle eastern country who doesn't even have a permanent seat on the UNSEC have such clout to dismember another sovereign state? That's not how international relations work. Like I said Kanu is just making his cool cash off the backs of his gullible followers, while smiling away to the bank. The UN will never entertain any motion to dismember this country. Your Biafra is DOA

hammerVJ:



I think Yoruba muslim constitute a far bigger problem than the northern muslim.

They are presently blocking the return of power to the SE and by extension the South.

The North have stated severally that power is going to the SE, but Yoruba muslim insist that power is coming to SW.

This was exactky wat they did in NASS, where the north lobbied for SE, but SW insist that the position in the reps belong to them for supporting Buhari

I will rather stay with the North isntead.

The north will always give the East that which belongs to the East.

SamNaijaboy:
The house of rep speakership was never zoned to the East.
It was a winner takes all contest. When the APC was being formed, why didn’t the SE take pride of place when invited?
Now you are seeking to reap from APC’s toils when you voted PDP enmasse?

hammerVJ:


U are in denial.


All of a sudden, ICC Chief Justice is an Igbo man.


Look, US said Nigeria will break up in 2015.


There are legal process being followed for the lawful creation of BIAFRA based on international Law.


Look here MR, Eritrea was created out of Ethipia and heaven did not fall.


If u look very closely, Eritrea and Ethiopia are one people, but yet got divided into two separate country.


South Sudan was recently created from Sudan.


Wat does a Biafran and Arewa man have in common to be one country aside the accident of British trying to use Arewa to suppress Biafrans whilst stealing Biafra oil?


Wen we do Big Brother, no Arewa, we host Miss Nigeria no Arewa.



Everything that unite Nigeria no Arewa, aside politics and political office and oil/gas(u will see Arewa).

UdechiHD:
When will IPOB focus on Igbo people in the SE/SS/MB. This stubbornness will keep bringing scorn and mockery to their agenda.

Even if you want to drag people into Biafra from the old eastern region, then limit it there.

Someone should tell these illiterates that[b] Itshekiri and Urhobo were not part of the old Eastern region but Mid West. [/b]But will the illiterates heed?
Expecially when illiterate Kanu and 2nd illiterate in command Uche Mefor keeps feeding them with wrong historical class.

In time another group only for the Igbo people and led by charismatic and intelligent leaders will arise. Leaving IPOB and Massob to their illiterate phantom republic.

hammerVJ:



Was Itsekiri and Urhobo part of Southern Nigeria Protectorate?


The British brought the yoruba to cause confusion in Southern Nigeria from Benin republic and they did so well becos Nnamdi Azikiwe was a political illiterate than even volunteered to hand Sadauna more seats in Parliament to keep the North in Nigeria.


They should go and check whether Nnamdi Azikiwe father was from Sokoto.

The map shows the original protectorates of colonial Britain.
The Yoruba's were joined with the southern protectorate and later given a region of their own with a large chunk of the the southern protectorate. You're right. Them and their kind in Ilorin were together.

On the other hand, the southern protectorate had the Igala and Idoma in it. But were later added to the northern protectorate with became larger with the addition of the northern Cameroon's in 1963.

The old southern protectorate should be the clamour of IPOB if you're sincere. But because you guys are adamant in dropping the name Biafra, you decided to cling on the tag old east to incorporate the likes of the Itshekiri.

Before IPOB noise submerged other groups, there was a chap by name Nnadi who was fronting the restoration of the old Southern protectorate into the Lower Niger Republic.

The Lower Niger Congress was the name of the group and their clamour was in the interest of the inhabitants of the oil rivers or rather lower Niger.

hammerVJ:



I am not trying to divided anybody, yoruba are already divided along religious lines.

Yoruba politically have always been divided, this is y Biafra scares you.

Historically, yoruba had so much fight that some think the early Biafra war and Nigeria instability in the 1960s straight after independence was caused by the internecine warring among political factions in South West region, so savage ...

It dont matter wat u tell urself, MURIC want all your Governors and Government to be Muslims and sooner or later, the divide will manifest.

Then again, that will be in either Oduduwa or Nigeria.

It has nothing to do with us Biafrans.

Becos Nnamdi Azikiwe offered Ahmadu Bello more seats in Parliament to keep him in Nigeria.

That was how Benue and Kogi ended up with the North.

Also, the Midwest was created and added to the SW to make the South more equal in size.

Remember Cameroon was still with us, we were massive.

hammerVJ:



Honestly, i think the name Biafra should be dropped but that is the historical name the world recognize.

They are shy from Southern protectorate becos, it sounds like SW will be included but as u noted.

The clamor should be for the Southern Protectorate of Nigeria.

UdechiHD:
Hammer was right. The earlier Southern Protectorate of Lugard excluded the Yoruba's.

The Yoruba's had their own Lagos Colony signed off by King Dosunmu which gave Britain ownership of Yoruba land for some gold payment.

The Yoruba's were later added to the Southern Protectorates later. But the Original Southern Protectorate excluded the Yoruba's, they were a Colony in their own.

UdechiHD:
Southern Cameroon wasn't part of us, they and Northern Cameroon were in German hands.

Nnamdi Azikiwe never negotiated with Ahmadu Bello to cede Southern Protectorate territories to the North or West. It was the British who tampered with the territories in order to empower the north.

Awolowo even criticized the British for adding Kwara/Ilorin to the northern protectorate.

You guys should go and study Nigerian history and don't rely on Nnamdi Kanu who is intellectually deficient to school you. Nnamdi Kanu cannot give what he doesn't have, he's intellectually limited as simple as that.

I have always maintained that IPOB is an illiterate group and will only end up making noise or rather push us into unprepared conflict with their lack of charisma. Sorry if I sound rash, but this is the truth.

When a leader is dangling Judaism on one hand and given daft historical classes then he's a failure.

1801 - 1900 The Fulani wars were fought. Missionary activities spread. Britain set up northern and southern protectorates and a colony in Lagos.

1914 Territories were combined to form Nigeria and were administered through four provinces - Northern, Eastern, Western and the colony of Lagos

1922 The Clifford Constitution stipulated that a Legislative Council administer the eastern and western regions. This was regarded as the first step toward autonomy from British rule. The Ibo and Yoruba regions were affected by this change, causing further animosities between the north, which continued to be ruled indirectly by the British, and the potentially autonomous south.

1945 - 1950 The "Jos" riots occurred in the north which were minor riots in protest of the northern amalgamation with the southern regions. When oil was discovered in the Ibo dominated eastern region, the Emirs of Zaria and Katsina demanded fifty percent of the seats in the newly formed Central Legislature. The Emirs threatened to secede from Nigeria if their demands were not met. The acceptance of these demands signaled the beginning of northern domination of Nigerian national politics.

1959 A coalition between the Hausa-Fulani supported Northern People's Congress (NPC), the Ibo National Council for Nigeria and the Cameroon (NCNC) blocked the western Yoruba controlled Action Group (AG) party from gaining any significant share of central authority in the December elections. A northerner, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, was named Prime Minister.

hammerVJ:


U are right, Lower Niger Congress better captures the Southern Protectorate than IPOB.

Though some part are missing in the North.

IPOB left EDO becos of Oba of Bini.
