StupidNLmods:

Major General Philip Effiong is from where? Are akwa iboms, ijaws & ikwerre deltans? Do they deny igbo regularly?
Mehn.. Enough of this your bickering .

franchasng:
....and funny enough, the Asaba people and other Igbo tribes in Delta and Rivers state don't always accept that they are Igbo....they always deny that they are not Igbo....they will tell you they are "Delta-Igbo", yet Igbos stood solidly behind them when they committed the crime of the first coup and mostly Igbos in today Southeast paid the price of their crime.


So can you see that the Igbos in Southeast are just, their only crime is standing solidly behind others

Asaba people have never denied being Igbo, not even for one day. Asaba people know their history. They remember that their real name is 'Ahaba' and how the British turned it to 'Asaba'. Enuani people(Asaba, Okpanan, Ibusa etc) dont deny being Igbo. The problem are those closer to Edo state such as Agbor and Kwale who have had some Bini influence. Some no longer know who they are. The king of Agbor is Ikechukwu yet some people said he is Bini

Adaibeku:
Yes dear , uzuakoli nna

franchasng:
and same Agbor people speak and hear Igbo yet they claim they are not Igbo lol



Anyway, let them wait until Hausa-Fulanis catch them in crises, they will explain to them how they are not Igbos better lol


Even Goodluck Jonathan from Ijaw in Bayelsa state was seen and tagged as Igbo man by Hausa-Fulanis, talk more of Asaba and Agbor or Ikwerre people denying their root lol, it is well

franchasng:
AkwaIbom people fought on the side of Biafra.


Go and read history young man.


Vice President of Biafra then was a man from AkwaIbom state; Colonel Philip Effiong.

The second in command to my father who was a commander of one Biafra military battalion that defended Portharcourt before it fell to Federal Troops was an AkwaIbom man, they also had lots of soldiers from today Rivers state and Bayelsa States.

Stop twisting history for fun young man.

Many communities from Niger Delta fought on the side of Biafra. It was mostly Ijaws and some other tribes in Niger Delta that joined Nigerian side and mostly because they were angry that after Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi stopped Major Jasper Adaka Boro from leading Ijaw Nation he codenamed Niger Delta to secede from Nigeria, that why do they now want to secede, which to me, they were right.

This is a very very sad story to read.
Eyes welled up in tears.

May we never ever experience any war in our darling nation again.
Nothing good ever come out of any kinda war.
That was why the Head of state during the war declared that there was NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED the day the Civil War ended.
The two sides regretted it at the end of it all.

In one Nigeria we believe.
Let us all live in peace and love with one another.

God bless Nigeria.

franchasng:
Are you aware that it was a man from your so-called "Delta Igbo" or "Anioma" and his co that plotted the coup that led to the 1966 Northern pogrom that led to the death of thousands of Igbos in the north just because he was bearing an Igbo name And even Nzeogwu who is more Deltan than you called himself an Igbo man.

Igbos in today Southeast had no reason to carry out any coup in 1966 because they were in control of Nigeria; politically, economically, militarily.....Igbo man was the President, Igbo man was the Senate President, Igbo man was the Chief of Army Staff, Igbo man was the richest man together with Dantata, Igbos dominated trade and commerce even in Northern Nigeria then, so Igbos in Southeast had no reason to carry out a coup.


Igbos only fought war to defend their people amidst the 1966 pogrom that saw rampant massacre of Igbos controlling Northern Nigeria....which pushed Ojukwu to declare Eastern Nigeria that he was governing an independent state just to secure Eastern Nigeria from the pogrom.

So don't listen to anybody telling you that Ojukwu or Igbos wanted to secede from Nigeria because of crude oil because Igbos were in control of Nigeria before Nzeogwu and co carried out the first coup and mind you, if Igbos had wanted secession, Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi stopped Major Jasper Adaka Boro from today Rivers State from leading Niger Delta to secede from Nigeria.

Biafra secession was never a planned incident, it was done under duress to secure Igbos and Eastern Nigeria from Hausa-Fulani+Middlebelt massacre that followed after Nzeogwu coup + counter coup of 1966.


So blame your brothers, the crime of the Igbos in Southeast is defending Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna coupists.....if they had denied them like you so called Delta Igbos abi Anioma or Ikwerre deny Igbos today, believe me, Hausa-Fulanis+Middlebelt would have wiped you guys out of Nigeria, so still thank God for Igbos in Southeast.

If Aguiyi Ironsi had executed Nzeogwu and co, Igbos would have retained their control of Nigeria but Igbos in their usual "nwannem" attitude spared Nzeogwu and co which angered the north to plot a counter coup followed by pogrom against Igbos living in the north.

I read another of your kind twisting history of how Biafran troops abandoned Asaba and destroyed Onitsha bridge that made federal troops to massacre Asaba people.

See, its not good to tell lies....remember, Nzeogwu and other Asaba indigenes who were soldiers under Nigeria were commanders in Biafran side....Asaba people refused to join Biafra to fight....they stayed neutral....some even sabotaged Biafra by leaking info to Nigerian federal troops in Benin then.....they were forewarned that Biafran troops were withdrawing back to Onitsha after Biafra lost Ore-Benin side to Nigerian federal troops.....but they refused to listen but were busy learning new traditional and cultural dance they said they would use to welcome Nigerian federal troops and to show their solidarity to Nigeria against Biafra they refused to join...


...and Biafran troops placed Ojukwu bucket bombs, "Ogbuna-Igwe" at Niger bridge knowing federal troops must cross the river to enter Eastern Nigeria, then Biafran side....so they laid ambush for Nigerian troops at Niger bridge which they succeeded in killing hundreds and thousands of them at that bridge.

And even if you guys like kill yourself and rename yourself, Hausa-Fulanis see you all as Igbo and if they want to kill or fight Igbos, they will first kill you guys standing idly in confusion of where you belong that's the bitter truth!

So Biafran troops withdrawing from Asaba was military strategy to sustain the war not to punish Asaba people who refused to join Biafra...and even when they were told Biafran troops were withdrawing back to Onitsha, majority of them refused to flee to Onitsha side but said they would use cultural dance and traditional welcome to welcome Nigerian troops and make them understand that they are not with Biafra, that they believe in "One Nigeria", but it backfired!!! They were massacred by Nigerian troops!



The few Asaba people that flee to Onitsha and Biafran side were spared.....but they were very few.


Stop twisting history pls....and no matter what and how you guys deny we Igbos in Southeast, we still see you guys as our brothers.....and to tell you its not about crude oil do you guys at Asaba or Okpanam or Agbor, etc have crude oil NO!!

Techdra:


Dude. My great granddad died in that massacre. You think I didn't go through the history books before concluding about the Igbos?

Shortly before the Asaba massacre, Biafran soldiers retreated from their Asaba base when they learnt the Nigerian soldiers where approaching... They burnt (or blew up) the Bridge linking two cities thus trapping civilians. Some stories had it that they didn't even let Asaba people know.... Is that how you treat a so-called ally?

Nigeria and Biafra didn't do Asaba, Delta and the Niger Delta region any good. Both wanted their resources and nothing more but as they say, the devil you know...

Adaibeku:

And you think they deserved been murdered in cold blood because they supported those that took power from your region. Man's inhumanity to man.

....fulani get sense ,just to collect power from igbos they pushed yorubas and co to act of nonsensical genocide ,

Asaba people no mercy from me ,u are all wicked ndi Nzuzu ,

Imagine a woman thinking this way. One man will Marty this woman one day, and that's the beginning

Ogurube:
Your stupid question or analogy made no sense, but I'll help disabuse your mind. Firstly, Germany, from its founding up to WW2, wasn't a shithole, unlike Nigeria, a British-contrived shithole from its forced and sloppy founding. Secondly, after Hitler and his men lost, Germany was left a brain-drained shithole, with most of cities pummeled to rubbles and Jewish intelligentsia gone. But, its disgraced people saw the crimes committed by their Fuhrer and atoned for their sins by groveling on their knees for help. And, the Allies came to their rescue while pushing back Russia. Hope my ITK fixed it for you?

franchasng:
If you can be honest for once, you can tell how much Igbos hate Rochas, Kalu (OUK), Una, Ohakim, Theodore Orji and co. Check the Igbo politicians Igbos cherish and support, they are exemplary even in global politics.

But the issue is under Nigerian constitution drafted by corrupt Hausa-Fulani military dictators and backed by corrupt Yoruba elites, there is nothing much Igbos can do to the corrupt Igbo politicians in southeast because Nigerian system shield powerful corrupt people.

[s]Take a look at Imo state now, Imo people hate Hope Uzodimma not from last year but decade ago because he is a dubious 419ner suspected to also have hand in money rituals and reason Imo people have not been voting him massively for so many years he has been contesting for Governorship position, not until recently that Hausa-Fulani + Yoruba corrupt Supreme Court decided to foist him on IMO people against their wish![/s]

This is why Igbos are asking for Biafra, so our finest brains from all over the world can contribute to ideas to make excellent constitution that does not support or condone leadership corruption, and so that we Igbos can deal with our bad eggs by ourselves using our own unique constitution and laws, that's why we want Biafra. we want to be solely in charge of our security and our destiny so that if we fail we know we failed ourselves and if we succeed we know we succeeded, not strangers and enemies deciding our fate and future like it is now.


Remember, all humans are selfish and corrupt, all they need is the enabling environment to practice their corruption.

Take a look at Israeli Prime Minister Nethanyahu, he is facing corruption allegation of diverting money meant for public, a former Israeli President was removed for rape...so when Israel was seeking for independence, it does not mean Israel does not have corrupt and bad citizens among them, they are in all tribes, races and religion but it is institutions that control and curtail human excesses, and such institutions, Hausa-Fulanis don't want them established in Nigeria and reason Igbos really need to be free from Nigeria.

Hope you understand it now

You IPOB touts should watch your mouth and stop deceiving the public. Face your battles and don't drag us into every foolish political discuss. When did Hope Uzodimma contest for Governorship of Imo if not last election. You PDP paid idiots would always want to look for a way to pull this not with you.

Ogurube:
Wrong! The British and the stooges leading Nigeria are mainly to blame. Nigeria was in crisis, due to the upheaval of politics in the West and corruption at the federal and regional levels, just like we've witnessed in recent times. Those military officers were spurred to nip the problems in the bud. They learned from other countries that had witnessed take-overs of civilian governments by men in uniforms due to misgovernance, like in Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, Syria, Cuba, Congo, etc. Injustice and inequity lead to an agitation for change of government. If Nzeogwu started it, Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Buhari, Babangida, or Abacha could have stopped it. But, they carried on the tradition until a greater force intervened.
