I do not trust Igbos either HOWEVER lets be honest and fair. Anyone who says that there are no indigenous Igbo people in (AkwaIbom, CrossRiver, Delta, Edo and Benue) is either ignorant or dishonest. Therefore, in my own opinion, I see nothing wrong in carving those areas out of Nigeria to join with the 5 SE states to form their Biafra. That would be fair. Unfortunately, for Igbos secession is not based on fairness. What you ask for is not what you get. In fact, I would be very surprised if ALL the 5 SE states agree to join Biafra at the beginning. My two cents. |

Iamgrey5:when they mostly bear our names. The only problem most of them in Yorubaland have and reason they always accuse Yoruba of being tribal is just because we value our tradition and language so much and anyone that doesn't fit in is quickly thrown out. I'm guilty of very same thing even here, i hardly talk to non yorubas(i mean outside o) not because i hate them buh because i'm addicted to my language and my tradition and others(tribes) always seems odd to me hence not easy relating to them. There is this Fulani boy from Katsina that we relate very well, you'll take him for my relative and reason is because he lived in Akure before so he's used to my traditions and we always speak yoruba all the time. Yorubas are not tribal, we just uphold our culture too much at the detriment of relationship with others. 1 Like |

MelesZenawi:in as much as i agree with you on that part where you state "SW is a political manoeuvre." i totally disagree with you using name such as west to represent a tribe, by usng west you are automatically agreeing on same thin you rebuke initially, have you forgoten there are some people present in the West(North)?

So this issue is still trending right. Nice one from the SS’ners, at least you’re setting the record straight. I know the SS and the SE share some blood of brotherhood, but even in the face of friendship it’s good to always set the record straight when you see your brother is trying to take you for a fool and going all out to oppress you. The Igbos in their show of superiority always think they can suppress the will of the average SS’ners, it may sound awkward but they always try to project it in a way that they are sub-superior to them and that can also be seen to manifest on this thread. Ask yourself, what exactly does the SS need you? The Igbos needs the SS more than the SS’ners need them? Just like how Nigeria needs the SS’ners more. Even if Biafra is allowed to be conceived with the SS included in it, the writings are already on the wall that the Igbos will try all they can to dominate all the ethnic minorities and it might turn be a case of Igbos behaving as the fulanis in Biafra. The reason is because, the Igbos are homogenous tribe and the rest of the minorities are scattered, Ibibio, Edo, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Urhobo, etc., that means the Igbos can easily divide them to always maintain superiority and lord over them for eternity. It’s just common sense and this is also part of what Adaka Boro saw then that made him call for secession from the defunct eastern region. For the Igbos to put the SS in their Biafra, they have to show some respect to the SS’ner because those guys (SS) are golden and they have the resources to become the Dubai of Africa. I’m Yoruba before anyone tries to attack me, I’m just giving my opinion. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Igbo speaking communities share boundaries with every single important ethnic group in SS, baring Itsekiri. The Ukwuani/Ndokwa who are Igboid speakers share boundaries with Urhobo and Isoko. Infact, the Urhobo town of Orogun is bilingual in Urhobo and Igboid (Ukwuani), their traditional ruler is called Okpala uku. There are many Isoko speaking enclaves within Ndokwa. Igbide an Isoko town was founded by Igbo speakers from Mgidi Imo state. The Ibani Ijaws share blood with Ndoki Igbos. The Annang are neighbors to the Ikwuano in Abia state, while Ibibios are Ngwa neighbours. The Esan and Bini are Neighbors to the Igboid Ika and we even have Igboid speaking Igbanke as part of Edo state. The Ogoja share boundaries with the Ikwo/Izzi/Ezza Igbo clusters. The EFIKs are neighbors to Arochukwu, Abiriba and Ututu of Abia state. The Ogonis are neighbors to the Ndoki Igbos in Rivers state. We have the Igbo speaking Isobo tribe indigenous to Obubra LGA of Cross River state. The only thing uniting the entire SS is contact with Igbo/Igboid speaking neighbors, seeing as Cross River is no longer oil producing, and Edo has no coastline. We(Ndiigbo) are basically in their faces. This is for those asking for what Ndiigbo have in common with groups in SS. 7 Likes 1 Share |

However, I strongly believe that a Biafra between Ndiigbo and SS minorities will end up as disastrous as South Sudan. It doesn't make any sense for Ndiigbo to escape a babel of confusion called Nigeria, only to entangle unborn Igbo generations with another encumbrance by getting cobbled together with the myriads of ethnic groups in SS. I personally only subscribe to an Igbo-Igboid only Biafra, between SE and willing (They will only be incorporated into Biagra if they indicate interest to join , as I don't support forceful annexation. ) Igbo speaking communities in SS. Under such a country, we can elevate Igbo language to a lingual franca, build the nation on Igbo based cultural values and social orientations , without any one shouting of Igbo domination. It will be a befitting homogeneous nation, worthy of being handed over to our successors. We can always maintain cordial relationship with our Minorities neighbours and partner with them in ventures of mutual interest. Ka Chineke Mezie Okwu. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Igbos In Akwaibom: Lessons Learned by pazienza(m): 11:25pm On Oct 05, 2019 |
wirinet: Asaba was never a capital of Southern protectorate. Southern protectorate had two capitals in its history. Prior to Sir Egerton almagamation of Lagos Colony (SW) with Southern protectorate (SE and SS) in 1906, Calabar was the capital of Southern protectorate. But after the 1906 almagamation, the capital of Southern Nigeria was shifted to Lagos. Asaba has always been an Igbo speaking town and hosted the first Igbo language conference held before 1914 almagamation of Nigeria. Better know your territory. 4 Likes |
